Can I Use DTA to Transfer Straight From Palm Desktop to Google Calendar

I have a Palm Tungsten E2, and a Palm Desktop account for it, but I also have another Desktop account, which I want to keep separate and copy into Google Calendar.
I got the Data Transfer Assistant (DTA), and went through the first few steps towards transferring the data - even selecting the right account - but now it's saying that I need to connect my handheld, and sinse I don't have a handheld for that account, it looks like I'm stuck.
I tried connecting my Tungsten E2, but it did not recognize that and left the "Next" button pale.
I imagine I might be able to get this done if I erase everything from my Palm, HotSync the other account into it, and then do the DTA, but I'm not quite sure how to do that nor am I sure that when I erase the secondary account and sync the primary one back in I will have everything that I currently have - all the data, all the applications.
Is that the best way to go, and if so, what safety measures should I take?
If not, what is the best way to transfer data straight from Palm Desktop (version 6.2.2) to another calendar - preferably Google, but Outlook would be okay.
One thing that I know would work would be to convert the DBA file into a CSV file, but I don't know how to do that.
Any answers to any of the subquestions?

What king of files? If they are iWork files then sure. However if they are third party files such as Excel spreadsheets or MS Word documents etc.. then I'd recommend using Dropbox.

No since you can only sync with one computer.

How to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer
If you purchased music with multiple Apple IDs, you have to authorize the computer for all of them. However, you're allowed to authorize up to 5 computers with one Apple ID. That means you have to look for other methods when you have already authorized 5 computers.

How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?

Hello,
How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld which just died.
Luckily, all my data is backed-up on my Palm Desktop V4.2.1.
I just bought an iPod-Touch, so I would like to easily transfer
all my data (Addressbook, Calendar, etc) from the Palm Desktop
on my Mac (OSX 10.5) to the equivalent Mac applications
(Address Book, iCal) which will then allow me to view and update
them on my iPod-Touch.
How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
Thanks in advance for your help.
David

Hi David. The contact information is straightforward. Bring up your Address List in Palm Desktop, then select Export under file. You pick vCard as the format, and save the resulting file where ever. In Address Book, you then select Import --> vCards under file. You may need to edit things like birthdays by hand afterwards.
I am still working on the Calendar information.

Can I use firewire to transfer everything from my Macbook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.25 GHz) to the new iMac (2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5)?

I have a MacBook Pro to use at work. It has everything (all genuine softwares, server connection etc). The company is using a contract IT company so connecting to the server and setting email is real issue with me as this IT people can't configure Mac. Last time it took them 1 week to set up everything for me ( me one the phone with them as they aren't coming to our office - they only use QuickViewer to get access to my laptop).
Now the company is buying me an iMac so that I can use the laptop at home. Can I use firewire to transfer everything to the new iMac so that I don't waste my time installing softwares & calling this IT people to set up my email and connection to the server again? If it works do I have to enter serial numbers in again for all the softwares or I have to buy new softwares (I know with Adobe CS - I can only install in one computer)?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to use the adobe suite on the imac you will have to deactivate it on the MBP or it will show up as being used. That is if you can only install it on one computer. Some licenses you can install it on 2 computers but it has to say that on the cd key tag.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the contractors. It is not that hard to get stuff like that up and running on the mac.

Can you use iCloud to transfer data from one iPod to another?

Hi, I'm a newbie to Apple. I'm getting another iPod touch with bigger storage, the only data I care about is Clash of Clans. Can I use iCloud to back up the data, and restore it to the iPod I want? Please help, I don't want to lose my data without the right directions.

Yes. Back up your current device to iCloud, the when setting up your new one, restore it to this backup. It will include your apps and app data (as well as other data and settings). See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

Can I use TM to transfer data from my current iMac to a new one?

I have a new iMac and I would like to migrate my old iMac into the new one. I have thought of connecting the old to the new one and using Migration Assistant, but I am wondering if it would make more sense (if possible) to do this through the old Imac's Time Machine backup.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to help me with this. I am looking at migrating everything.
Thank you!

Sure, you can use the TM backup via Migration Assistant. When you run Migration Assistant you will have an option to restore from a TM backup instead of another Mac. Just connect your TM backup drive to the new computer but don't turn on TM until you've finished your migration.
Do not migrate "everything." Your old machine may have a different version or build of OS X than the new one. If the old machine is a PPC machine then you may have components that are incompatible with the new machine. See the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)

If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

I want to transfer files from a functioning hard drive in a nonfunctioning MacBook Pro to an external drive. I have an IDE/SATA drive adapter. The files won't fit on the drive for a working computer I have. Can I use it to transfer files to the external?

Good luck and you are welcome.
Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos to iMac. After several hours it was "successful" but I can't locate it on the iMac. Any ideas for the rookie?

The music should be in iTunes and your photos should be in iPhoto. What happens if you launch those applications?
Best of luck.

Using iTunes to transfer photos from my pc to iPhone

When I use iTunes to transfer pictures from my computer to iPhone it creates 2 libraries of the same photos. One is labeled Photo Library and the other is the name of the file that was on my computer. they have the exact same pictures and I can't delete either of them. Help!

"So it's not taking up twice the space? "
That is correct.
" When I hit photos on my main screen it takes me to albums and there are now 4 options: Camera Roll, Photo Steam, Photo Library and the name of the file from my computer. The last two have the same photos in it. This is what Apple wants? "
Again, absolutely correct.
This is exactly as it should be.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.
