How can I copy outlook files to hard drive

How can I copy large outlook files to the external hard drive with out formatting it?
I currently have Macbook Pro Version OS X 10.9.5.
I tried all the ways copying outlook files, but it says larger files cannot be transferred. My outlook file is about 16gb.
Also tried trough Time Machine...Can anyone list of the steps here to copy these files to my hard drive?
Later, I want to copy these files from hard drive to the new Macbook Pro.....need urgent help please !!!

If your external drive is FAT32 (MS-DOS) format, it won't take file larger than 4GB. There's no way around that, I'm afraid.

How to convert Outlook PST files to Entourage MBOX

I am migrating over to mac after my windows system has been corrupted.
Luckily I had back-up of all my mails in a storage device. Outlook stored them as .pst files.
What I need to do now is take those .pst files and convert them to .mbox files for Entourage 2008.
I have gone through some steps reading online but the were of no use.
Please suggest some helpful solutions as i don't want to waste time blindly searching.
Thank you

An easy (and free) way to transfer email from Outlook (Windows) to Mail (Mac) is to use an IMAP account (e.g. Gmail) as an intermediary between the two. It's simple and reliable but can be a bit slow for large amounts of email. Expect over an hour per Gigabyte.
Enable IMAP on your email account.
In Windows, open Outlook and add your IMAP account.
Copy the folders (don't drag and drop them) from your PST file into your IMAP account. Drag and drop will move (not copy) your folders and you may lose mail if the communication is interrupted during the move.
On the Mac, open Mail and add your IMAP account.
If you want your mail stored on your Mac, you can copy it from your IMAP account to mailboxes created by selecting "On My Mac" as the location in the new mailbox dialog inside the Mail application.
Other alternative
You can also use the software approach to solve your problem.
Various softwares/applications/third party tools are available online.
One I am aware of is Pst Converter pro.
Hope this helps
thank you

Why I get CRC error when copying outlook.ost file?

My workstation is using NTFS, Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2007 server.
My outlook.ost file is 1.7GB.
As my Outlook runs into problem, I tried to copy the outlook.ost file to another location for repair, but I keep getting CRC errors and the file was not copied.
I also tried to use winrar to compress it and it runs into the same CRC error.
Q#1. What causes this CRC error? hard disk error or software?
Q#2. How to repair such CRC error?
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
The cyclic redundancy check, or “CRC” error, indicates a bad spot/corruptions within the file that you are trying to copy and in lot of cases with your hard disk.
To make sure if the problem is with the .ost file or your hard disk, you can fire up a Command Prompt window, and then copy the file to NUL:
C:>CD (path of your .ost file)
C:(path of your .ost file)>copy name.ost NUL
If this succeeds, the problem is with your .ost file. If this fails, it should be a hardware based disk issues.
If it's an issue with your .ost file, I'd suggest to run
scanpst.exe tool to repair your data file, then check if this fixed it.
When the issue is hardware based, you probably need to find Disk Errors in the System log of your Event Viewer. You can access the Event Viewer by going to:
Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer
By the way, .ost file is actually a local copy of your mail items on the server. For a corrupted .ost file, you actually don't need to "copy the outlook.ost file to another location for repair". You can simply rename it to .ost.old
or delete it, and then re-launch Outlook to let it generate a new .ost file from server.

Migrating from Outlook 2007 to Entourage 2008

15 days ago, I bought my first Mac after a 12-year gap. I have been trying to get my information from Outlook 2007 into Entourage 2008 without any luck. I've google'd and found that there are indirect paths only. (via mbox).
My E08 refuses to recognize the mbox files. After renaming my Inbox files as Inbox.mbox, they show up as E08 files (with the E08 icons). But I cannot open them in E08. When I go the File, Import method in E08, all mbox files are grayed out and I cannot select any of them.
I've installed Thunderbird on my Mac and got all the files into Thunderbird from my Win PC. Apple Mail crashes consistently when I try to import from Apple Mail.
Total file size is 5+ GB with 30 folders. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong.

Here is a long pending update on how I got my OL2007 data into E2008.
On the PC:
1. Setup Gmail Imap in OL2007. (I used my Gmail account for this purpose. Go into Gmail and search for "Outlook Imap setup")
ENSURE ENTOURAGE IS NOT RUNNING ON THE MAC.
2. Drag and drop each sub-folder from the Inbox into the Inbox of the Gmail Imap folder.
3. Depending on the size of the sub-folder and attachment, it makes take a few minutes to a couple of hours.
On the Mac:
4. Setup the Gmail Imap folders in Entourage too. (again refer Gmail help section).
SHUTDOWN OL2007 ON THE PC
5. Drag and drop the subfolder you created in step 2 onto your Entourage Inbox. (because this is a "download", it might work faster).
6. After step 5 is complete, quit Entourage.
7. Back to your PC, start OL2007.
8. Drag and drop the sub-folder from Gmail into the OL2007 Inbox. (this step is required if you want to preserve all the data on OL2007).
9. Repeat for other folders present on your OL2007.
This process is excruciatingly slow and painful, but it did get me all my data, attachments, preserved the links intact and organized it according to categories. For categories, ensure that you create the same categories as your OL2007 on E2008.
Good luck.

PC Outlook inbox to Entourage

I have no idea where to place this, but here seems as good a place as any. I recently switched back to Mac from a Thinkpad, and I used Outlook to handle email. Before it took a dump, I backed up the inbox on my Mirra.
So now I have a Mac and Entourage, and I want my old messages in Entourage. Any ideas for how to import them properly? Or a program that can read the Outlook messages?
Thanks!

You can use a $10 software O2M, here is the instruction from Apple.com;
You can also do this free, here is a tutorial, once you convert the .pst to .mbox, you can import the .mbox files into Entourage or Mail.app on Mac.

How to read .Olm files in Entourage 2008

I have a few thousand email files exported as .olm files from outlook 2011 in my hard drive. I want to access these files or read these files in Entourage 2008. I have tried all the import methods but none is working accurately. Only the folders get imported
but the emails in them do not. So is there any other way to access these olm files in Entourage 2008?

Old outlook file and New one...Same Job, different computer.

Hey Everyone -
I got kind of a unique situation (I think?) that I couldn't find an answer for.
My old work laptop (just for work email) had a graphic card meltdown and so I had to purchase a new computer. I was able to pull the hard drive out of it and salvage everything, including the outlook file.
Now on my new pc, when I set up my email (POP3) that is linked to some webmail website, I have everything that was online (at that website) in my current outlook.
I was thinking I could just take my old outlook file (7gb worth), bring it into outlook and combine them but I had no such luck. The other issue is, its still referencing the old outlook file off the old hard drive I have and it happens to be the same
exact name as the new one because its my name @ company name.com
Is there anyway to combine them or maybe even just import the new one, and THEN link it to the website?
Here's some screen shots:
They won't let me post screen shots.... If I can get "verified" I'll post them up...
Thanks!
AJ

What happens when you try to combine them? How did you try to combine them?
Copy the pst file to your new pcs hard drive. It can go in any folder - backing it up is easier if its in My Documents - rename it if the new data file has the same name. Open it in Outlook using File, Open, Outlook Data file. You could set it as default
and move all of the mail that arrived in the new pst into the old one or you can use both pst files.

Old Outlook files separated from current -- need to find some old saved emails

I had a computer issue and the computer guy who fixed it separated my old files into a folder he called "Windows Old" on my desktop. I can find all my old files there except I can't open any Outlook files. There's an email I saved
from Nov 2006 that I need to find and open somewhere within this folder.
I've found some outlook files in that folder, but it says I can open them only with Outlook.... but when I try to open them from within the Outlook menu, I can't find the files. And copying and pasting the location doesn't help. Please help!
Below is a copy-and-past of where I've found my outlook data file from that pariod
C:\Users\Dell1\Desktop\Windows.old\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Thanks

Hi <o:p></o:p>
This issue may be occurring due to these reasons like:<o:p></o:p>
If Outlook finds the .pst file on a server to deliver the email messages which is inaccessible.
If Microsoft Outlook got the PST file but it had been corrupted due to some reasons.
If you have changed the location of Outlook .pst file and did not re-locate it in Outlook.
Use one of the following methods to resolve the above mentioned issue:
Click to re-locate your Outlook PST file
Click for PST that is located on a server
Click to fix it using PST Recovery Solution

Former computer crashed but have hard drive so can get at Outlook pst files. Anyone have any probs importing them? Mine says incompatible format when I try it. Also just tried copying the files into the directory and it says incompatible when I try to launch Outlook. I'll hit up Microsoft next but wanted to check here first.

Import from Windows Outlook 2000 to Entourage 2004

Just bought the G5 and I'm trying to migrate from Outlook 2000 to Entourage.
My Outlook .pst file is ~212Mbyte. I have tried exporting it as a .pst file but Entourage does not recognize the import file type.
I have read through a prior thread titled "importing to mail from Outlook 2000 PC" that directs me to use Thunderbird on the PC and Eudora Mailbox cleaner on the iMac - but I looks like the topic was related to iMail and not Entourage.
Can anyone who has gone through this give me some clear steps and links? Note I am running Outlook 2000 and not Outlook express on the old dell. I have seen some directions to push all my old email to an exchange server as a 3rd party, but this seems excessive. I have a 10G external hard drive so moving files between PC and iMac is not a problem.
thanks

Answered my own question.
Bought the software package Outlook2Mac from Little Machines for $10 after seeing it mentioned in a few threads.
Was able to move Mail, Contacts and Calender to iMac
all the mail messages were market as unread, and I had to choose between work and home for the contact addresses, but it got the job done.

Transfer vCards from Outlook 2003 to Entourage 2008

I am trying to move my contacts from Outlook to Entourage. I have read about some of the difficulties using CSV files (mysterious quotation marks, etc.) and thought it would be best to do it using vCards. I emailed all of my contacts to myself and saved them into a file on my Mac desktop. I then tried dragging the files into Entourage with no luck. Can you please help me? There has to be a way, right?!
I hope to keep the formatting the same and not have to do too much manual changing of the contacts once they are moved.

I was of the opinion that Outlook cannot export vCards, but if it does then try using Entourage's Import function from the File menu when you have the Contacts window active.
Most users have found that the only successful method for exporting from Outlook to the Mac is to use Outlook2Mac.

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

How do i retrieve file vault protected files from an external hard disk that used to be my mbp's hard drive? the hard disk got corrupted and will no longer boot. I put it in an enclosure and attempted to copy my files but failed because of FV encryption.

This external hard disk used to serve as the main drive of my mbp. It got corrupted and the OSX would no longer load. I upgraded to a 500gb hd and used the old hd as an external drive. I tried to copy my files but i could not access them because of the filevault encryption. 110gb of hd space appears as used which means that my files are still in the drive. Is there a way to retrieve these files? thanks

According to your post, you're using Leopard, so FileVault only encrypts your user folder (unlike Lion). On the mounted external drive, in your user folder, you should see a file called username.sparsebundle, with username being your user name. Double-click that file to open it and it should prompt you for a password. Type in your password and the file will mount as a volume in Finder. You should be able to copy all of your files over.

TC and WD500 External drive - Locks up when copying large files

I have a TC with a Western Digital 500GB my Book connected to the USB port on the TC that I use for network Storage. Everything works fine until I try to copy large files or directories from the Finder mounted share. After the copy freezes the external drive can no longer be seen by airport utility. If I look at disks it sees the disk but no partition. I have to power cycle the external drive to have TC see the drive again. Then I disconnect the drive and plug it in directly to the MAC and run disk utility and his repairs the journal. I have to do the repair every time it locks up. Should the external drive be formatted different or does it have to be connected to a USB hub. Or is this just a bug with the TC and afp ?

I have this very same problem.
I tried to copy a 4GB+ folder from the Macbook to the 500GB MyBook attached to my TC and it froze.
Now the the files on the MyBook are invisible when attached to the TC ("0 Items") but are available when the drive is connected directly to the Macbook. I have run disk utility but it hasn't helped. The disk is FAT 32 formatted and the files on the MyBook are still invisible over the network.
When the drive attached to the Macbook directly I can see a 'phantom' file with the same title as the 4GB+ folder I'd tried to copy. This file is "ZERO KB" and it cannot be deleted (error code -43).
Anyone have a clue what is happening here?
