Can't import my mailboxes from Tiger Mail into Leopard

Hi everyone,
I bought a new MBP and I'm now in the process of carefully importing my mailboxes from Tiger mail, on my Tiger backup HD, to the new mail program. I have about 20000 messages saved since 1999, sorted by project etc. Each time I select a batch of mailboxes to import, I get a failure message when it's almost done, saying that some messages couldn't be imported. This is very frustrating: my e-mail archive is possible the most important collection of files on the computer. I would hate for it to become messed up/corrupted.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Alex

Try copying the directory ~/Library/Mail/ (the library folder in your home directory) from your old computer to the same location on your Leopard install. I believe the versions of Mail in Tiger and Leopard use the same directory structure, so this should work.

    how can i import the data from multiple sources into single rpd in obiee11g

    Hi,
    to import from multiple data sources, first configure ODBC connections for respective data sources. then you can import data from multiple data sources. When you import the data, a connection pool will create automatically.

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I import Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into a new iMac?

    My hard drive recently crashed and unfortunately, I didn't have a full backup.  Is it possible to import the Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into my
    "like new" iMac?

    Configure the same iCloud account on each device and enable Safari syncing.  This will sync boomarks, reading list items, and enable iCloud tabs.

  • Importing mailboxes from Tiger (Mail v. 2.1.3) to Panther (Mail v. 1.3.11)?

    Is it possible to import mailboxes into Mail v. 1.3.11 running under Panther (10.3.9) that were originally created and stored in Mail v. 2.1.3 under Tiger (OSX 10.4)?
    I have a dual boot Mac with Tiger and Panther running on separate drives; after moving over to Tiger I'm finding some incompatibilities with older software and want to move back to Panther permanently on this machine, hence I need to get all my latest mail folders back into the older version of Mail.
    I've been sucessful in importing them, but they appeear as empty, and won't refresh even if I rebuild them.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Jona,
    Not sure if this is your situation but is it possible that it is a problem with Tiger's emlx format and Panther's mbox format? I'm confused though because you say that you were able to import them but they are just "empty" files.
    See if emlx to mbox Converter - 1.0.3 can help. I have not used Tiger (I use Panther 10.3.9) so I am not sure that is your problem but worth looking at.
    Just be careful to not delete anything before testing to make sure they have imported correctly!
    If not a problem with format then perhaps with indexing.
    good luck,
    LS

  • Can't import .jpg's from a CD into iPhoto 8

    My friend asked me to help her create a slideshow out of 434 jpeg photos she gave me on a CD. When I try to import them, iPhoto 8 accepts only 88 of them. I get the following error message:
    Unreadable Files 210
    The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
    They were taken by several different cameras but they are all .jpg files. I can view all of the photos on the CD in Finder. What could be the problem? Any ideas for a fix or workaround? Thanks so much ...
    Caroline

    Caroline:
    Try copying them to a folder on the desktop first and then upload from there. That may do it.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can i import my files from an Acer into my new iMac - easiest idiot proof solution pls

    i bought an iMac, and would like to migrate all data from my old Acer aspire one over to the mac
    i tried thru wireless ------ too dumb for it - or to bad step by step guides to do it
    same for connecting the two by ethernet....
    can someone guide a dummy thru this pls?

    Do you have a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, if so then plug it in to your USB port on your Acer and copy your my documents folder to to the drive.  After ejecting the drive insert it into the Mac and copy the files into your home folder.  I would copy folder to folder from drive, for example; your documents folder files from Acer to Mac documents folder and so forth.

  • Can't copy address book from Tiger PowerPC to Leopard Intel

    I have been trying to help a friend who bought a new macbook and is trying to move the contents of his address book across to his new Macbook. I can't find the Vcards on his old computer and don't know how to go about finding them. Would it help if he upgrades his old computer to Leopard?
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Thanks for your speedy reply! I am the guy who who was looking for the answer. So are you saying to just drag the entire address book itself in the doc directly into the new Mac Book?
    no, I'm not saying that at all. please read my post. it says what you need to copy.
    I already tried that but if did not read the V-cards properly perhaps because of the difference between Tiger and Leopard and one having an intel and the other not.
    no, that is not a problem.

  • How can I import audio books from a CD into itunes 10.54.1.2 to then use on my ipad or iphone.

    I cannot seem to get the books/chapters to go into anything but the music category. Then just plays as music does. Anyone know if it is possible to import into the books category ?

    Thanks again for responding.
    I had set iPhoto to Automatically Look up Places (see my original post).  I tried Old Toad's suggestion, and the data was there for some of the photos but not all.  I THINK I just missed the GPS icon in the camera's display (brand new camera & my first with GPS).  I have been able to import the GPS Data on my most recent photos, but as they're all taken at home I'm going to test that over the long weekend.  But my best guess is that I just hadn't grabbed a GPS signal yet.

  • Import OSX mailbox from leopard to tiger

    i am trying to import a mailbox from Mail in 10.5.8 to Mail in 10.4.11 but either i am choosing the wrong folder to import or the files are not backwards compatible?
    I have tried choosing user library/Mail/POP(email address) which contains an INBOX.mbox and the associated deleted/junk/etc folders but i just get a "no valid Mail for OSX files found" message
    i get the same message trying to import an archived INBOX.mbox folder
    is there a way to do this, aside from upgrading to Leopard
    the Tiger machine is a G5 iMac running Mail v2.1.3 and the Leopard is an Intel imac running Mail v3.6

    thanks for your reply
    i just tried that and got a handful of messages from an old import folder on the other mac
    SO
    i went back and tried the POP .mbox again and it worked this time, so i'm very happy
    thank you

  • HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

    Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

    That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
    I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

  • Import local mailboxes from one account to other in the some computer

    I need to import local mailboxes from one account to other in the some computer. I have tried copy/paste from one user/library to other, but mail went crazy with permission and even if I changed them manually now Mail can't save the passwords of the mailboxes, so I need enter each time Mail check the mail from the server. Any idea?

    You need to let Mail do the Import, and not do this manually in the Finder.  However, if you force a reindexing things may get back to normal.  This assumes you are not talking about mailboxes in account folder, but rather On My Mailboxes?
    To reindex all mailboxes force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
    Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.
