Transfer palm data from PC to Mac without using the M100 - only exporting the data and importing?

I had an old Palm M100 that I haven't used in a while but I love the palm desktop app - my PC currently runs 4.1.4
I have a mac powerbook and I loaded 4.2.1
When I export my calendar and address book data in the .aba and .dba format from my PC - the Mac palm desktop app doesn't seem to recognize those file formats.
Are those not standard formats between the two platforms? It also looks like the Mac desktop app doesn't even recognize importing data from another Palm format? It just shows the other program formats.
Also, when importing as CSV or tab-delimeted those are extremely messed up also.
Any "easy" way to get the data off of my PC and onto my Mac without using the Palm M100 itself?
Thanks,
Dave

The suggestion is not accurate, at least with respect to calendar information. I'm in nearly the same situation, and just tried it. (Saving .dba file out of Windows Palm Desktop 4.1.0, importing into Mac Palm Desktop 4.2.1revD.)
First, the Mac program will not recognize the .dba as an importable format if one selects All Readable Documents.
Second, if one selects All Documents instead, you get the following error message:
The file could not be imported.
In order to import data from Windows Palm Desktop software, export the file in one of these formats: comma (.csv) or tab (.tab) delimited, vCard, or vCal.
The problem with this is that Windows Palm Desktop 4.1.0 offers only two options for exporting Date Book information:
1) the whole datebook as a .dba file.
2) individual calendar items as a vCal.
So far as I can see, there's no way to Select All so as to export all as a vCal, and no pre-set option to do so.

How to start in TDM or transfer data from an older Mac without FireWire??

For the MacBooks that don't have FireWire, how do you transfer data from another Mac since you can't start in Target Disk Mode?
Similarly, with a FireWire Mac, if I need to do some disk repair, I can start in TDM and run Disk Utility's Repair Disk or rebuild the directory with Disk Warrior. What do you do with these non-FireWire Macs?
(What is Apple thinking by removing FireWire???)

For the MacBooks that don't have FireWire, how do you transfer data from another Mac since you can't start in Target Disk Mode?
I would still use Firewire.
The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
You 'can' use USB or Ethernet, but it's not as reliable as Firewire.
Firewire is "isochronous", basically meaning that you can pump "clocked" data though it in real time. USB works more like TCPIP, with the data chopped up into packets and later reassembled. (Thus, at a minimum, you have latency, that is, the wait for the data to be "put back together".) Second, the Firewire protocol allows more direct address to memory (including mass storage) with minimal intervention of the CPU.
Putting the drive in a external Firewire enclosure is a bit more work, but nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches. Firewire is rock-solid.

How to read and write data from Excel to TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs

Hi,
How can I read in columns of data from Excel into a TestStand array and write columns of data to Excel from TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs?
I don't think the Property Loader custom step type in TestStand will work because the data I would like to read in from Excel is in a column that is thousands of rows long and the data has to be in the proper format to use the Property Loader to load in an array from Excel.
Thanks for your help.

That example does not use LabVIEW and it does about 40% of what you need to do by calling Excel through ActiveX. If you don't know how to use Excel through ActiveX then you'll need to brush up on that.

Automated process to pull data from a web page without using VS and PS.

Hello,
I'm looking at finding a solution to pull data from an external web page and creating a list. I'm looking for a NON-POWERSHELL AND NON-VISUAL STUDIO solution. I am open to using InfoPath Designer.
There exists a custom, non-SharePoint page built for us which has raw data. We've already created a custom list to match the data and now need to come up with a solution to automatically update the data. In this particular scenario, power shell and visual
studio cannot be used.
Thanks in advance.

Why would you cripple yourself and restrict PowerShell at the very least which has perfect functionality for doing exactly that.
I doubt you could use the InfoPath data sources to pull the raw data in, re-map it and save to SharePoint without resorting to some sort of coding within InfoPath.

Can you transfer pictures directly from iphone4 to ipad2 without using iTunes and a separate omputer

Can you help me with the question above

You can copy photos taken with the iPhone via the camera connection kit (not sure whether you can also copy photos synced to the iPhone via the kit). Otherwise there are photo transfer apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos between iOS devices and/or your computer via your wifi network

Masking .mac without using domain forwarding but just the .mac server

I am signed up with Small Business Yahoo server but I guess the domain forwarding feature is not available. So I'm thinking of canceling the service with Yahoo. But before I do that I was wondering if I could still use my unique domain name with the .mac server but also make it so that people can't see the .mac in the url address?
Oh, and I've tried uploading my files to the Yahoo server with Fetch but that has been a disaster.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, you can do this at Yahoo possibly just by setting a redirect HTML file in your webserver directory. Here's an example from my own forwarded and masked domain name...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

Just save this as a text file and name it index.html or whatever your server requires. Edit the underlined information to reflect your own website. Then place it into your webserver directory and see if it works! Let me know...
Good luck!

I want to move from pc to mac without losing app data

i have a new mac mini that has itunes and some music/tv shows/movies on it. but i want to move my main itunes library from my pc to my new mac mini. i know i can just copy my itunes folder from my pc to the mac, but i want to move my iphone data from pc to mac without losing app data (especially game data). can I just copy my pc iphone backup data files to the mac and have them work in mac format? or can i just plug in my iphone on the new mac, do a backup/restore and continue syncing from there? does anyone have any advice on the best way to move iphone from pc to mac?

I was fighting this battle the past few days myself; but actually it is REALLY easy now. See here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html
Then, once iTunes was on the Mac, I did this:
1. On the Mac rename ...\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl as ...\iTunes\iTunes Library
2. On the Mac delete ...\iTunes\iTunes Library Genius.itdb (Apparently the PC & Mac versions are not compatible - iTunes will just rebuild it later)
3. Launch iTunes and immediately press & hold down the Option key until a dialog opens asking you to Choose a library. Navigate to the folder/drive you've copied from the PC and open ...\iTunes\iTunes Library.
(thanks to turingtest2 for the above steps)
That was it. Did it yesterday evening. All playlists, libraries, everything copied fine. No problems; no broken links. Perfect.

Using ipod as a hard drive to transfer data from PC to Mac

hey, Is is possible to use the ipod as a hard drive to transfer data from/to Mac and windows PCs?
I see no problem transfering data from/to my mac to the ipod. But I cannot see the ipod on the PC. When I plug the USB cable to my windows PC, it shows a popup message "external disk is not formated. Do you want to format it?".
thanks,
Martin

Windows cannot read a Mac formatted iPod.
Macs can read Windows fomratted iPods.
You need to run iTunes for Windows, then Restore the iPod.
It will now work on both Mac and PC.

Transfer photos from iPhone to mac without iPhoto / image capture and preview doesn't see device

Hello. I'd like to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac. I read (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083) that iPhoto is the standard application for that; I'd like to do without. I read that image capture (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8954/copy-photos-off-iphone-without-iph oto) or even Preview (http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/10/transfer-photos-from-iphone-to-computer/) could help. Neither of them see my iPhone although cable connected and iTunes does. So my question is two: If Preview and Image Capture are ineed supposed to, why don't they? And is there any other way?
Thanks

I dont like iphoto so the easiest way to do it is using image capture, just plug in your iphone launch image capture from your applications folder and import all images or just selected images into any folder you want.
Moreover,you can follow this page about how to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac, which give an easy guide to figure out this problem.
Have a good luck!

How do I transfer iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air and retain the Albums?

I just transferred my iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air by dragging the entire Library from my Pictures folder onto an external HD and then dragging from there onto my new Air. Transfer effected fine and all images now appear in iPhoto on the new Air. One problem: the Albums that were present on the left hand toolbar in iPhoto on my old machine are no longer there, so I have 50,000 images with no organization. Events are still there organized by date so that is something, but the Albums are not there and that is what I primarily relied on. Help please??

The left hand pane is the source pane. Were both Macs running the same version of iPHoto?
Try rebuilding the library with the option to Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
