Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

Thank you so much! I actually need help transferring my old address book with all my contacts and their e-mail addresses. I had trouble setting up mail so I used my internet provider's webmail to send and receive mail, but that is fixed now.
If I have to manually enter each contact, I'll do that, but it sure would be nice if there was a way to transfer the address book.
Thanks again.

You can move your iTunes music Library folder to external media from the G5 to the Mavericks machine and point a modern version of iTunes at it.
I don't know what you'll have to do with your Contacts, however.

Can't import mail/address book from Outlook, old drive, old OS

Recently my wife's G4 died and we bought another. We transferred my wife's the old drive which was running OS9 (I know, she was just hard to convert)and added it to the new G4 as a secondary drive and also as a means of transferring the data. She ws using Outlook in OS 9 and it and the microsoft <user> files reside there (on her old drive). As a result, as good as Mail is in importing from other apps, it won't import from Outlook unless it's running.
To run it, I have to launch Classic but after doing so and starting Outlook, it will now not 'see' the email and address book files...even though at the finder level I can see the 300 megs worth of emails in the Microsoft documents folder....
Argghhhhh! This is business stuff and I'm desparate...can anyone think of a way to get at least the address book imported into Mail, even though I didn't think to output the entire list as a comma file before the old drive died?
I would be most grateful for any help.....!!

This is a very common issue ... so much that a specialized solution exists. I had to deal with it when I converted from the evil PC world. Go to littlemachines.com, look at O2M. It worked very well for me ... but:
The caveat is: it runs on a PC ... intended for one-way-one-time migration out of the evil empire. So, if your Outlook data (.PST file) currently lives on a Mac, you would need to get it on a PC ... and I've never tried that, so I don't know if it works.

How doI /can I transfer my favorites and address book from AOL to Firefox

I previously used AOL as my browser & had several sites identified as "favorites", making it simple to bring them up.
I also had my own address book with several groupings.
I would like to transfer both these to Firefox/Mozi;lla/gmail if possible.
Is this possible & if so how & how do I then access them?

Paul,
I just transferred my iCal info over to my Mac Mini and everything works fine there also.
So far, I think the only thing that may not transfer so well is AppleWorks.
If anyone hasn't already noticed, AppleWorks is not included with the new Intel Macs. Maybe Apple is trying to push Pages and iWorks, I don't know.
I haven't tried to transfer AppleWorks over as I don't intend to use it on the Mac Mini Intel anyway. Maybe I will try it when I get a chance.
The only software that I have upgraded so far is EvoCam. The old version for PPC worked OK on the Mac Mini but was acting goofy. With the new version which is universal, the program is acting normal again.

Is there a way to migrate or copy contents of my Address Book from an older Mac running OS10.4.11 to a new Mac running 10.10.2? Migration Assistant in Yosemite says it doesn't support Address Book 10.4.11.

Cool!! You're welcome - but BDAqua (there's that name again!) deserves the credit (although I knew it too)
So much for a Mac's claim of 'continuity' and 'ease of use' huh?
BDAqua is a venerable friend of ours here... you will kick yourself!

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

I must import my address book from my old Yahoo account? How do I do that?

I need to import my address book from my old Yahoo account to AOL and
Windows Live. I cannot find a way to do this.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser, and thus has no use for an Address Book.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

How to transfer my Netscape mail address book info to my OSX Address Book?

I may have to contact Netscape about this one but thought I would give it a shot here.
I am on a new G5 where all my old Netscape mail was brought over from my G3 via an Ethernet cable and is now living where it should in its place within the Netscape 4.77 mail program which I can access by running Classic OS9 mode.
I would like to import my address book information instead of having to cut and paste hundreds of addresses manually. The Apple mail program doesn't have its own address book (which I wish it did) but uses the Address book application, as you all know. Ideally I would want the addresses right there in mail but that doesn't seem to be how OSX works.
The only other thing I could do I suppose is download another web mail browswer, like Eudora or the equivalent, which maybe would have an import feature. I tried downloading Netscape for OSX but it didn't even have a place where I could drag and drop my mail folders - that I could see - let alone import my addresses from where they live in the System 9 folder.
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I have had a look around on Version Tracker to see if anything might help you
and have come up with this
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19382
Product Description:
This is a tool for fixing LDIF files exported from Netscape Communicator 4.x. When Netscape Communicator exports LDIF files, it doesn't handle hard line breaks within the notes section properly. This causes the files to not be imported properly by Address Book. This program fixes that.
Product Requirements:
• Mac OS 8 - 9.2.2, or
• Mac OS X 10.0 or higher including Panther
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
• Mac OS Classic
• Mac OS X 10.0
• Mac OS X 10.1
• Mac OS X 10.2
• Mac OS X 10.3
As you have Classic / 9.2.2 ? I thought it might possibly help

How can i print the e-mail address book

I need to be able to share the address book. How can I print the contents

There is no good way that I have found to print them directly from Thunderbird.
The best way that I have found is to export the address book to a comma separated file, .csv file, then open that with Excel or Open Office, format the file like you want and print from there.
The added benefit of doing this is now you have a backup file of your address book in case something bad happens.
The Export command is under Tools in the Address Book window.

How can I transfer the rights of a book from one account to another?

I have two books on an older Adobe account that I don't use anymore. Now that I have a new account with a different e-mail address, is there anyway to get those 2 books on the new account without buying them again? I can verify that both accounts are mine.

Not officially. It would have been best just to keep the old account and not set up a new one.
Unofficially;
deauthorize ADE (crtl-shift-D, or cmd-shift.D on Mac),
reauthorize with your old ID
run epubee to strip the DRM on the books registered with the old ID
deauthorize ADE (crtl-shift-D, or cmd-shift.D on Mac),
reauthorize with your new ID
