Is there a way to copy iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone?

My apple ID has the slightly frustrating habit of sending iMessages to my computer instead of my phone. Is there a way to move those messages to my iphone instead, so I

Hey there NitaHight,
It sounds like you are unable to get all your iMessages to your phone, as they all seem to go to your computer instead. I would use these steps from the following article about troubleshooting iMessage, named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

You can copy the pages files on your Mac into the file sharing section of iTunes. Then sync your iPad. The files will be copied to your iPad. There is a link to the iPad manual in the bookmarks of safari on your iPad. Download and view the manual especially the section on sharing with iTunes.

Is there any way to transfer itunes from a mac running 10.4 to an iphone 5

Is there any way to transfer itunes from a mac running 10.4 to an iphone 5?

Nope. Very least is to have Snow Leopard and the latest iTunes on the Mac.

Why can't send iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone anymore and opposide?

Since today I can't send any iMessage from my Mac to my iphone and opposite. If I try to send it from my phone to my e-mail(which I have to recieve on my PC, or I used to, it says "Not delivered" or If I try to send a iMessage from my Mac to my iphone, I automaticly recieve that iMessage, but instead on my phone its on my PC again, just on different box. I think there is something to do with my accounts, but I have tried anything possible and I can't figure this out!

HI,
Just to be clear.
There are three folders called "Library" on a Mac with only the original Admin account. *see fourth Library below.
If you open the Hard Drive to it's top level then you can read Library, System and Users (As well as Applications and anything you have put here.
If you open the System one then there is a Library folder as the next step there.
Also in Users > the name of your Account (Little House icon) then there is one in here.
However since Lion this has been Invisible.
Using the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and entering ~/Library will open a window in that Library
You can also make the Folder Visible on permanent basis if you need to.
Generally Spotlight will not display the results from the ~/Library which is why you will not find it this way.
Fourth Library.
Since Sandboxing came into being the Containers folder has many "Library" folders that apply to each app that can be sandboxed.
Basically all are at the same depth of Containers/Data/App Name/Library.
As you say it is working I would not worry too much about it.
I have just finished installing OS X 10.9.3 and my Users folder seems to be the next one to become Invisible.

Is there a way of copying music from the ipod

my pc got wiped so i need a way of copying music from my ipod to itunes is there a way?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Is there a way to copy captions from Aperture to iLife applications?

I've entered a bunch of info into Aperture in the caption metadata field. I want to publish some of my photos using iLife applications......iDVD, iWeb. Is there any way to copy the info in my captions field so that I can attach the same info in the comments/caption field in the other apps?
I'm new at this......so, I'm looking for some help. One of the reasons I want to use iWeb is that it will allow me to make a blog - so that viewers can respond to each photo. I'm trying to identify people in photos....and I already have a lot of info in the caption field and want to display it on the Internet.
thanks!

If nothing else works, you will have to export the images with metadata included and then reimport those images into your other applications. There may be a better way though -- I'm not an iWeb user.

Is there a way to transfer files from a mac-book to another computer?

I need to get files off of my damaged Macbook and I'm not sure how to do it. Is there a way to transfer files from my macbook to another computer? The damage is to the screen of my macbook and it is severe- you can only see the top left of screen, the rest is cracked/blacked out. Is there anything I can do?

If the MacBook has a FireWire port, hook it and the other computer up with a FireWire cable, start up the MacBook with the T key held down, and copy the files off.

Can I transfer my iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone?

I got a new iPhone 5s recently and unfortunately my backup on my previous phone wasn't up to date. That phone has been wiped clean and is long gone now. I also have a Mac and have all my recent iMessages up to date on my Mac. (All archived) The iMessages that show on my new phone are old and I want to see if there is a way to transfer the iMessages from my Mac to my phone in order for it to be up to date. I understand that backing it up to the iCloud would have been the easiest way to go about it, but I believe that my last backup didn't complete because of a lack of space and I got a new phone before fixing that problem. Any help would be great! I would also like to do this for the Notes app as well.

Sorry, no. There is no way to restore those iMessages or Notes without a backup.

Is there a way to copy attributes from one composition to another?

I'm using After Effects 7.0
I'd like to copy the same Zoom attributes from one composition to 30 photographs.
In Final Cut, you can copy attributes from one clip to another. Or from one still photo to another.
Is there a way to do that in AE 7?
Thanx
Mike

EDIT: I see you edited your question, so I am editing my reply.
To copy the scale of a layer, open the main twirl of that layer and you'll see the Transform properties group. Open the twirl for that, and you'll see Anchor Point, Position, Scale, etc. Click on "Scale" and copy it (Edit > Copy, or Control+C on Windows/Command+C on Mac). Then select the other layers and just paste (Edit > Paste, or Control+C on Win/Command+V on Mac).
Such a broad question
Anytime you add a new item you imported to the timeline or composition panels, it becomes a new layer.
Anytime you duplicate an existing layer (Edit > Duplicate), you get a new layer.
Anytime you split a layer (Edit > Split) you get a new layer.
Anytime you copy a whole layer (target the name in the timeline panel) and paste it, you get a new layer.
You also create layers when you use the Shape tools, text tools, or create a new solid layer, etc.
This list could go on and on, so instead, I invite you to read the After Effects Help section on Creating layers specifically, and the whole chapter on Layers and properties, in general. If anything isn't clear for you, then let us know.

Is there a way to copy messages from PC to Nokia N...

Hi.
I have Nokia N73 with v 4.0839.42.2.1 and PC Suite 7.1.18.0. My camera was not working, it will show as system error. i have updated to the latest firmware version and it was no luck. i had to reset the phone to factory settings *#7370# to get the camera working and after that if i restore my backup the camera stops working. I dont want to restore my backup as my camera will stop working., i have got my contacts back by importing from PC (CSV format) but i was not able to import messages or copy messages from PC to mobile.
Is there a way i can bring the message from PC to mobile?
Thanks,
Abraham Johnson

Hi,
restore your old backup with all settings, then make once more memory backup by NSU but without settings, private data only(contacts, calendar, notes, messages etc.).
Then once more dial*#7370# and restore backup without setting. After that all should be good.
Greetings

Is there any way to copy content from my iPhone to a brand new Mac with a blank iTunes library?

Bit of background:
This time last week, I had a MacBook Air and a 6 year old desktop PC. Everything I had was on both of them, so they acted as each other's back up. This Sunday evening just gone, my PC finally died a traumatic death, and I can't even get it to boot from Safe Mode. Then on Monday while I was at work, my house was burgled, and my MacBook Air was stolen, amongst many other things. All I have now is my iPhone 4S which was with me at the time. All my music, photos, videos etc are on my iPhone, but I'm very aware that when I eventually get my replacement MacBook from our insurance company (I'm being realistic and accepting that I'll never see my stuff again), as soon as I plug my phone into a blank iTunes library, I'll lose everything that's on there. Obviously I can re-download everything I've purchased from iTunes, though it will take a VERY long time and I still won't have playlists etc, and I can probably either Dropbox or email what photos I have on there, but I have a lot of video clips from over the last few years that aren't on my camera roll - they're in the phone as proper videos, in the video player app, and I can't get Dropbox to view that location, or figure out how to email them. The videos are very important to me and I really don't want to lose them; so much so that I'm thinking of never syncing my iPhone ever again!
Basically, what I'm asking is, how can I copy everything from my iPhone into a blank iTunes library? Is it even possible?
ANY input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated - I really don't want to lose all my content over this, so please please please help if you can!
Thanks in advance

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

Is there a way to extract iMessages from Mac to PDF or .txt format?

I've been searching the net but to no avail. All results point to backing up/extracting iMessages from iDevices other than a Mac. I'm going to change my Apple ID and I want to at least have a copy of the previous convos I had if PDF or .txt format. Thanks in advance!

HI,
If you have the Save on Close option enabled in Messages > Preferences > Messages then all Chats and conversations are saved.
They can be recalled any time.
1) In the Messages app the File Menu > Recent Items will list the last X number of chats.
X is the number set in System Preferences > General pane about the number of Documents, Applications and Servers shown in such lists.
2) old migrated iChat Saved chats are in Your Home Folder/Documents/iChats
3) New Saves are in your Home Folder/Library/Messages/Archive although this Library is Hidden.
In th Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Messages into the dialogue box that appears.
I have 10 non iMessages accounts as well as my iMessages account logged in when I am on line.
I can call up any of the last Chats shown in Recent Items no matter which account they came from (different Screen Name or Jabber IDs or even Bonjour chats)
I have not actually changed my iMessages ID to check but the app will continue to save to the same Folder and it should be able to retrieve recent ones.
Visiting the folder and double clicking an older chat tends to launch it in a new window separate from the Messages Window itself (no Side bar no, Text field at the bottom, no "To" spot).

Is there a way to transfer bookmarks from one Mac to another

Is there a way to transfer Safari bookmarks from from my desktop 10.41 to my laptop Leopard 10.6
thanks Len

On the old computer, choose Go to Folder from the Finder’s Go menu, provide ~/Library/Safari/ as the path, and move the Bookmarks file to the corresponding location on the new one.

Is there a way to remove safari from a mac?

I ham having some serious problums with the Safari on my mac and i wanted to know if theres any way to remove it so i can reinstall it?

You can reinstall from here > Safari 5.1 if you are running v10.6.8.
(I'm going by your profile).
What's happening with Safari exactly? Maybe if you explain what the problem is we can help.
You don't have to start another topic!

Is there a way to access ibookstore from the mac without starting iTunes?

I was wondering if there is a way to search ibookstore from safari or something other than itunes. I really find itunes search chaotic since it returns results for movies, apps, music, podcast and tvshows when I am simply trying to find a book.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated! (as a side question is there any way to stop itunes for returning results for every possible type of media? When I am trying to find a movie I am in no way interested in an app by the same name)
Thanks!

I liked your fix, but after an input of:
defaults write com.apple.Safari.com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2BackspaceKe yNavigationEnabled -bool YES
...the cursor in Terminal went back to a prompt (not familar with Terminal I don't know if that's good or bad), yet, still nothing on the backspace. The backspace has become such a habit and now a clunky break in my workflow, I'd sure like to figure out what the fix might be.
I'm on Safari 6.0 (7536.25), using a MBPro, OS X 10.7.4
Thanks!
