Change some mail from one computer to anothe

I hope that some one can help this old man (81) I am trying to send some mail (inbox) from my G4 QuickSilver 2002 (OS X 4..1 to my lap top G4 PowerBook 17" OS X 4.1.1 and still keep what mail I have on the PowerBook, than send what I am missing from the PowerBook to the QuickSilver 2002.
I have gone into the ~/Library/mail on both computers but am unable to find any that mach up with what I have on either computers, have also looked in Root/library/mail and no luck there.
The reason I need this is that I will be bedridden soon and I have a hook up from the QuickSilver to my PowerBook
I hope that I haven't confuse any one wirh the above information.
Thank for you for all your time and trouble and have a good day, Any day I wake up and see the sun is a good day for me.

Hi Norbert, sorry to hear about the "bedridden", I hope it's temporary!
Make a copy of this folder on each computer, then transfer to the other one...
~/Library/Mail
Ten in Mail>File>Import>from Mail for OSX, click continue, then select that whole Mail copy folder, click choose, give it a bit and it should show you all your Mailboxes to choose which you want to import.

Problem moving mail from one computer to another...

Hello.
I'm trying to move a specific mailbox from one computer to another computer. I'm doing this to 2 pairs of machines and with the first pair I had no issues. But, then second pair I get errors.
On the first computer I just copied the .mbox folder (which contains the sub "Messages" folder & info.plist file) from the one computer to the other. Then, in mail.app I "import" the messages via the Import option (importing mail from Mac OS X). No problem and all messages are imported.
On the second pair of computers, I did the same thing, but when I try and Import the messages onto the second machine, it says it can't find any OS X mail messages to import.
I really need to get these messages from one machine to another. "Forwarding" or "Redirecting" all the messages from one machine to another isn't an option.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong, or another way of migrating the single folder of messages (not the entire account) from one machine to another?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
I stay away from mbox files because it has never worked for me, but I may have a solution. This may not be THE award winning answer, but you could consider it when the other options don't work:
I assume you want to import a mailbox that is NOT part of an IMAP account, because otherwise you would not have this problem (right?) (otherwise just open that IMAP account on the computer you want the messages on).
But if you have an IMAP account, besides the POP account that contains the mailbox in question, you can use that account to fix your problem:
Go to the compu that has the desired mailbox, make a new folder in the IMAP account called 'backup' or whatever. Copy all messages from the desired mailbox to that new IMAP folder (depending on size this may take a while, because you are uploading via your internet connection). Now go to the other compu, make a new 'local folder' in mail.app. Open the IMAP account in mail.app and open the 'back up folder'. Now copy all messages to the new, local folder.
If you don't have an IMAP account, you can always open a free one with gmail.
I know, it's not very elegant, but this will work guaranteed.
Good luck,
Feddeg

Mail from one computer to another

Hi;
How do I move mail messages from one computer to another? Both are on 10.8.2? I thought I did it before by copying the Mail Folder (in the Libray Folder) from one machine to the other. But I can't seem to find the Mail Folder in that location.
What am I missing?
Thanks;
Chris

Actually, not all my old messages seemed to have been transfered. Even the ones that show up on the list pane cannot load in the reading pane.
Any ideas?

I moved some songs from one computer to another with home sharing and now these songs will not play on iTunes on the second computer.

What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?

Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?

Transferring Mail from one computer to another

I have an iMac. I bought a MacBook and did the whole thing with the ethernet cable, copying my iMac to my MacBook, so that the two machines were pretty much identical.
Then I used the MacBook exclusively for 4 months (was traveling). Now I am going back to the iMac, and I want all the messages I received on the MacBook to be on the iMac.
Since they started out as identical, am I correct in thinking that I can replace the mail on the iMac with that of the MacBook? That way, it will contain all the emails and contacts from the last four months, in addition to what was already there.
I found this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12010148&#12010148
is that the way to go about it?

Did you copy the entire /Home/Library/Mail/ folder and the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file?
You must first quit Mail before the transfer. What type of mail account do you have - POP or IMAP? The latter may take some time to first fetch the server-based mailboxes then transfer message headers. Sometimes this takes opening Mail then see if it reconstructs everything then quitting and reopening so it connects properly with the server-based mailboxes.
Or you may find your Inbox is inside another set of mailboxes listed in the sidebar.

you can also use your LAN.
then res-install all into new PC?
nothing to re-install (except, perhaps, the iTunes application). copy it over and launch iTunes - everything will be there.
Will they all be lost or corrupeted in some way or lost.
no.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
Any help would be welcome

This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

Block Diagram Changes from one computer to another.

When programming in LabVIEW, I generally try to make my block diagrams as neat and orderly as possible. This gives the code a more professional look, as well as making it easier for someone else to quickly understand the program. However, I recently have started doing programming on more than one computer, and have found that my block diagram does not look the same from one computer to another (due to different monitor resolutions). Because of this, the nice, orderly block diagram that I made on one computer looks a bit jumbled on another. Is there any way to fix this, short of standardizing the monitor resolutions on every computer?

One problem you might encounter is how the application font is rendered on different machines. All text-based diagram nodes (labels, property nodes, globals, locals,...) are affected (grow/shrink) if the font is not the same.

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can i transfer apps from one computer to another?

My i-pod touch was on one computer and i would like to change my apps from that computer to another.

The simplest solution is to copy the iTunes folder from the other computer to the new one. This will transfer everything including music, apps, etc. The folder is /Home/Music/iTunes/.

Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations. In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export... In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information". Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others. In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji. But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector. The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto. If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data. Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy. Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

Thanks for the pointer. I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy. Copy the photos to the new Library. Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc). Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working). But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.

I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

I want to move ebooks from one computer to another. Both have Digital Editions installed. Older one 2.0 ver has books installed. Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed. Both are authorized with the same user id. Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first? How do I do that? Do I have to manually transfer files? How do I do that? Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

Figured it out. Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions. duh. Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
