Transferring Mail and Address Book to new Mac

I am buying a new Intel Mac and want to transfer over my mail and address book - how can I do this and be sure it works properly. I don't want to do the wholesale fire-wire transfer thing because I have had a lot of conflicts on my old mac and don't want to bring the problems over to the new mac. Just want to transfer mail, address book, tunes, photos and a few documents. Can you help?

Jeff,
Welcome to Discussions. I'm no expert, but try this for email:
Copy the folder 'Mail' found here: Users/your name/Library/Mail
Then go to your new Mac and drag and drop the 'Mail' folder to the same location and hit 'Replace'. This will copy all your mail accounts as well as any mail/sent/drafts/trash/junk and anything else in your old Mac email app. Just make sure you haven't downloaded any new mail (unless it was left on the seerver) to your new Mac. After you replace the 'Mail' folder, any mail already on your new email app will be replaced.
For Address Book:
Copy the folder 'AddressBook' found here: Users/your name/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Again, do the same thing and drag and drop the copy to your new Mac. Same deal if you have already added new addresses to your new Mac. If you replace the new 'AddressBook' with the old, you will erase any address that were already on there.
Another way to copy both of these items is to subscribe to .Mac and do a sync (easiest method). It's $99 a year and it can really help with syncing your iCal, Safari bookmarks and Keychains (stores passwords on your Mac) also. There is a 60 trial, so you can do all this stuff for free for a limited time.
Enjoy your new iMac,

How can I make Address Book show names as (Last-comma-First)?

Hi,
I tried to tack this onto an old thread, but I'll try here again. Is there a way to show names in the Address Book as "Last-comma-First."? I understand about switching Last/first but cannot seem to find a way to show with a comma. The addresses I imported from my other computer (windows-outlook express) came over with the comma, but how do I do it for new ones, if possible?
Thanks in advance

Using a comma in the name display was something that Outlook Express did. Address Book does not put a comma in the display and simply shows LastName FirstName. I think you'll find the the export file from Outlook Express was a CSV file. Commas were used to separate all the field names. However, actual name values are not stored with a comma.

Can not Create Address Book for new Supplier

Hi,
I am trying to create a supplier in R12. Under create Address Book for the supplier, I have created the address and when I select the operating unit and click apply, I am getting the following error:
Address and Site Creation - Unable to create address and sites because of the following error when trying to create the site in operating unit [Anirudh Operations]: [ORA-01403: no data found in Package AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG Procedure Validate_Vendor_Site]. Either resolve this issue and try again or deselect the operating unit with the error and continue. Note: any new address requires at least one site in order to be created.
Oracle Version: 12.0.4 - Vision Database.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sasibindu.

Looks like the responsibility you are using is pointing to a new operating unit created by some one. But for that operating unit all the fundamental options are not complete (financial, purchasing, payables and so on). Hence you are getting this error.
If they are setup, you can try adding this operating unit into your security group associated to the MO: Security group profile and try.
If not use the Vision Operations responsibility and give it a try.
Thanks

My voice mail indicator is not showing new messages

The message indicator not lighting up...collecting messages for several days without me knowing it. What do I do?

this is probably happening because your carrier doesn`t support visual voice mail, so your iphone won`t count your voice mails and show it to you.

Mail doesn't show new messages

Mail sometimes doesn't show new messages for an IMAP account. The badge in the dock says that there is a new mail but it doesn't show up in the inbox. I'm sure that I didn't just miss it, because, smart mailboxes will not find that new mail as well. When I restart mail, the mail finally shows up in the inbox as well.
Anybody else seeing this and what can I do to resolve that issue?
Thanks!

I'll bring everyone up to speed on what's been happening with my family accounts. I first suspected Safari, because it seemed to be a local problem, but then, inexplicably, all mobileme mail accounts tied to that family account, which included 4 subaccounts and 1 mail-only account, not only did not work in mail.app, but also failed in other email clients I tested, including clients on Linux. Also, the webmail version was not working well, either.
So, if your problem is isolated to a single computer and just to mail.app, or just with a particular network, then I think the local troubleshooting steps are the way to go.
But, if your problem extends to other platforms, clients, and webmail, then it is likely an issue the engineers at Apple will have to figure out. I found the online chat service for mobileme users to be very helpful in checking through all the 'usual suspects' and after we had pretty much ruled out any of the usual culprits, it was escalated to the engineers, who are working on it now.
They were able to release all the email that had been piling up, but there are still some glitches they are trying to iron out. As an aside, I have been personally managing various mail servers for a dozen years, and am well aware of the difficulties in diagnosing email problems, and it was stumping me, and I have intimate knowledge of Exim and Exchange and various email modules used with mx services.
+While this 'should never happen', it's unrealistic for users to expect it never will. Of all the services provided on the Internet, email, is arguably the most complex service and it's become much more complex in the past few years. In my work, typically 94% of all email traffic hitting the server is filtered out as spam. So, the 6% that is allowed through is the stuff most of us see and are spending time and resources filtering out the 20-40% additional unwanted spam that the host let through because if they tightened it down any further the risk of false positives would become too great. I spend way more time on the mail service aspects of my job than the web services, and mail problems occupy at least 80% of my troubleshooting logs. So, while email seems more 'simple' than the exotic and bandwidth intensive services like video chat, voip, and web2 transactions, compared to the amount of wasted bandwidth and cpu cycles filtering packets, I think email is the number one problem service for most host providers. We tried to depend upon it for mission-critical communications, and it was never designed for that initially, and the spammers are making certain it won't achieve that status at least in the near future. If anything, email is your least dependable Internet service. Combine this with the growing array of user configurations, email clients, forwarding/retrieving/syncing scenarios, and user experience, and you may find yourself uttering a little prayer now and then for the poor email administrators and support personnel.+
[end of sermon - thanx for letting me get that off my chest; I feel better now! I'll feel a lot better when my email is flowing smoothly, but that's out of my hands for now.]

My Mail Account in linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I start an email in Mail, the name does appear but the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name. I must have changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I don't have any problem with my system. My guess is there is something there you aren't quite getting. I'd recommend a visit to your Apple Store, AASP or to contact AppleCare so they can coach you personally.
You can also play with the Address Book Preferences. However to see how changing a Preference affects the Address Book drag the Preferences window off of the Address Book so you can see both the Preferences window and Address Book Windows. Then toggle a Preference and you will see it instantly changes in the Address Book.

I have address book v. 6.1 in Lion. I have recently been unable to change my notes. When I type anything new, it simply disappears. How can I fix this?

Hi
I have address book v. 6.1 in Lion. I have recently been unable to change my notes. When I type anything new, it simply disappears. How can I fix this?
I checked previous discussions on Address Book problems and there was a suggestion to find Library in GO. I do not see Library when I clicl Go. Can someone advise on this?

To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again. If prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

How can I import address books from Thunderbird to Mail?

I had to use Thunderbird for all my Mail, because I cannot import about 10 different e-mail address lists with a total of about 300
addresses (contacts) into the Mail application nor into the Contacts Application. Every other e-mail application, and every server
supports imports like this.
Apple appears to have no solution either. On Apple Support site for Mail and Contacts, it says "Support temporarily not available"
and said so for weeks. I tried to import into Contacts, using Thunderbird address book files converted to ..Idif format and Contacts
imported them import without any fuzz. The folders appeared in Contacts as sub-folder the same name I had in the export files.
After the import I quit both Mail and Contacts and restarted my MacbookAir, it runs on OS 10.8.5., Mail is version 6.6.
I opened up Mail and the new sub-folders were listed in its Address Book window, However when I clicked ao any of them, they
would not open. I opened the Contacts application, and the folders were still there but when I tried to open the they were empty.
Is there a way to import those addresses, so they will show up?

Thanks for trying to help but .mbox is used for mailboxes, not address lists (Contacts).
I understand that Apple Mail and Contacts use .csv files for their lists, and I was able to
import my first Contact List using that type of File, but then was only table to get the name
the content of one List imported.
Last thing I tried, I used my Webmail Server which can import all address books (Contacts) and
export them across all sorts of different e-mail applications (they list about 10 different types)
and yes, the only missing is Apple Mail.
Looks like I am stuck with having to use Thunderbird, because I Mail will not import my
Contacts.

When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere. Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder. Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected.

Can I put Mail and Address book from my backed up dead Mac to my new one

My powerpc G5 Imac just died. It was completely backed up to Mozy, and I would like to restore my Mail and Address book from that machine on the new Snow Leopard machine I bought today. Is that possible?

if you are completely backed up then yes. copy the following items from the old computer to the corresponding locations on the new computer
/users/yourusername/library/mail (copy the whole folder)
/users/yourusername/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
/users/yourusername/library/application support/address book (copy the whole folder).
star Mail and address book and they should look as they did on the old computer.

Mail and Address book playing up

Hello. I am having problems with my Mail and Address book. For some reason, sent mails sometimes do not end up in the Sent folder, received emails sometimes go to the Trash without me sending them there, and I often have to resort to "Search" in the top right hand corner of the screen to find the mail I am looking for. What's more, my address book has stopped working properly: I can create groups but each group shows the general contact list by its side, even upon creation! I cannot add or delete from the group list. Basically, it seems like the two programes have gone all wonky tonky. This may or may not have to do with the recent Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta problems. I posted here in that regard but since the problems I noticed disappeared of their own accord, I did not bother reinstalling all as suggested. Reinstalling everything is simply too much hassle for me ... I use address book a lot and need things to work. Does anyone have a quick fix for this? Could this be caused by the faulty Apple January update? thank you in advance!

You should back up what you have.
Then, restart from your Mac OS X Installation Disk (insert disk and hold down C key during startup). At the first Installer screen, run Disk Utility from the menu. Use both the Repair and Repair Permissions routines on the hard drive. Do Repair first, because you problem sounds like a disk directory issue. If Disk Utility cannot make the repair, you may need a tool like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.

Mail and Address Book freezing on launch

Just recently, both Mail and Address Book have started freezing immediately after I launch them. I tried using DiskWarrior, repairing Permissions using Disk Utility, and repairing my Keychain, but the problem still persists. At first, Mail displays its window as expected, but it does not respond (although I can still move the window) and I get the spinning beachball cursor. Address book just brings up a blank window, with no expected contents. Like Mail, it does not respond, I get the spinning beachball cursor, and I can still move the window.
Any ideas as to what's going on and how to fix it?

Well, I don't see that option anywhere in Verizon's webmail service. But, it looks like your other suggestion is on the right track. With some minimal experimentation, I found that when I remove the "AddressBook" folder from "Application Support," the freeze disappears. But on the down side, only two contacts show up when I open Address Book. So for now, I've put the folder back where it was originally. Do you have any recommendations on how to narrow down the problem so that I can fix the freezes without having to lose the bulk of my contacts list (and have to piece it back together)?

Mail and Address Book Not Speaking to Each Other

I recently upgraded to 10.7.4 and at that time decided to drop Thunderbird and Mozilla as my default Email set up. I embraced using iCal, Mail, and Address Book. I manage two POP based email accounts and 2 Gmail accounts for work. I have a very long tree of folders based upon customers in my On My Mac - Email Archive.
It was a pain to get files up and over to Mail from Thunderbird in the first place. I have used this set up for a few months and am not trying to get the most out of it. I am having issues with Address Book speaking with Mail. Address Book has a bunch of contacts that have mostly been pulled our of my Gmail address book but none of my business POP account clients show up. I can not add them to the Address Book. There is no error message. Further more using Past Recipients shows nothing. I am frustrated but can not afford to lose all the project information in previous emails.
Any suggestions?

To reinstall the progams, who don't you use your computers CD drive?
This could help between the communcation between your Mac and your external Drive. I experienced this problem but with a external HD, and this link solved it.
