Copying Over Mail Settings

I used the MIGRATION UTILITY but of course, since I named my account in the new machine, it did copy over all my files but it placed them in a temp "user" but now I can't figure out which folders I need to get all my mail settimgs all up & running - so while I can redo the migration, I'd rather just be able to copy the mail over - possible? Thanks.
(while not the same as mail, can I copy over all my mozilla/firefox passwords without having to redo the migration?) Thanks.

Locations may be slightly different, but...
First Quit Mail, then copy over...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
On Firefox...

PS, I think you should Migrate from a clean setup.

Is it possible to copy over track settings to a whole new song in Garageband?

Hi there
There maybe a work around for this if its not possible but here goes.........
I have multiple tracks (vocals, live played guitars, live played bass) that I have layered to be played back over the top of an already existing mp3.
I very clumsily did not set the beat to the right tempo to start with (Current BPM 120, but the song realy is 150) as I never intended to work on the track with the need for a click track (ie to add drums). As every instrument I played live and didnt need midi functions.
But now I want to add a midi drum track and basically get everything synced up to a click.
Ive done quiet a bit of work on this and have a lot of manual settings for EQ, reverb, compression etc etc that I really dont want to have to write down on a piece of paper and replicate into a whole new garageband song.
I know I can copy/paste the actual wave form into a new song, but how do I copy the TRACK SETTING into a completely new song?
Either that or how can I adjust the tempo of the original garageband track without it trying to stretch out my various recordings to fit this new tempo? (as it always does when you move the tempo slider up and down).
Maybe neither are possible?

Hey
Thats a super cool bit of info, and mega handy to know. I tried it out but unfortunately when I create a new file with the CORRECT BPM of 150 (Not 120 that I had set it to before) it still speeds all of the tracks up by 25% (120bpm x 25%=150bpm) when you paste them in.
Also a few things to note on that tutorial. If you have used an electric guitar track, you need to save the instrument in electric guitar and then select that track to be an electric guitar track, other wise you cant get the setting back later.
Also, for some reason, even though I did it all step by step (my 9 tracks in order were 1 x mp3, 2 x electric guitars, 4 x real vocal tracks) it added MORE tracks and didnt paste the copied over waves onto the right tracks in the right order (The mp3 was sitting on the electric guitar track). I'm sure it wouldnt take long to jiggle them around correctly, but as the song is 25% too fast anyway, I didnt think it was worth messing around with it anymore.
So, anymore suggestions?

How to Copy Mail Settings from iMac to my PowerBook

I use primarily my iMac to check and reply through my emails. And when i travel i bring with me my PowerBook. I would like to have the same preferences, settings, smart folders on my PowerBook too? But I can't seem to figure it out. I don't have a .Mac account. Is there a way around this? What files should i copy from my iMac to my Powerbook and how. Thank you so much in advance for those who will reply.

There is no need to copy over the Downloads folder. All attachments are part of the files within each mailbox and thus within the Mail folder. The only use for the Downloads folder is when you must open an attachment, in the Mail window with another Application (such as Word). This was introduced in the latest version of Mail to provide a temporary folder for those so opened, so if you wish to revise and return, you don't have to separately save to your permanent folders. However, when you Save the attachment from the message, it does not enter the Downloads folder.
You can control when they are erased from the Downloads folder in Mail Preferences/General, and again erasing any from the Downloads folder is of no consequence, unless you edited one, and that is the only place the edited version exists.

How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?

Setting up my new MacBook Pro. How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?
Is there a file I can copy & paste?

Thanks Barry & all,
Is it enough to just copy the rule-related files ??
i.e.
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/RulesActiveState.plist
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/UnsyncedRules.plist
What you suggest copies the local mailbox content + all the settings ...
while what I need is much less... and I'd like to be able to sync rules also in the future
by copying something light and simple ... not the entire Library/Mail folder
Many thanks,
Stefania

I have a windows vista pc and want to use migration assistant to copy files over. From what I understand, it will copy over my user profile and settings as well. Is there anyway to just copy files?

Hey everyone, I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch (late 2011 model) and I want to use migration assistant to copy over my photos, iTunes library, documents, etc. I know this can be done wirelessly or by connecting the two computers by Ethernet cable (windows vista pc --> macbook pro). Which is faster?
I also have heard that using migration assistant copies over the user file as well and makes it the new one on the mac. I would only like to copy over files, not user settings. How do I do this?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm assuming that when my iTunes library is copied, the mp3 files are copied too. Could someone please confirm this?

Clean Reinstall of 10.5 and then copy over settings?

My hard disk has a problem and will probably be replaced. I have the data cloned on a backup drive.
What I would like to do is to do a clean install of Mac OX 10.5 and then copy over the applications and user preferences, settings, etc. Is there an easy or straightforward way to do this? I could start from scratch with the new system, but I like my settings, etc.
Btw, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my data.
Thanks

Why not boot up from the clone, and clone it back to the new HD?

Copy Mail settings from one mac to another

I have a main desktop running snow leopard, but just acquired a powerbook g4 with Tiger on it. How can I transfer my my mail settings from my desktop to my powerbook? or can i?

Hi, I never tried going backwards with it, but the files/folders involved for 10.4 anyway are...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
For Address Book...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist

Server Admin cannot update any mail settings on nearly fresh 10.4 server

I can no longer use the Server Admin application to change settings under Mail (and I need to make some changes - would like to change logging settings and require authentication for SMTP). I made some initial settings with no problems, but now it chokes...
For example, I click on Mail, Settings, Advanced... and then try to click the box to require Kerberos Authentication for SMTP-- everything is normal until I hit SAVE. Then there is a delay of 10 or 15 seconds, followed by the error message:
"A connection with a server or service was lost. Try to disconnect from XServe.local and then reconnect, or contact your network administrator."
At this point the mail indicator is red, not green... after clearing the message the changes I've made to settings appear intact, but if I quit server admin the truth comes out... I'm asked would I like to save changes, if I say yes the error will repeat-- I have to quit without saving. Relaunching Server Admin reveals that indeed the changes have not been made.
I've heard of this type of problem when hand editing config files, but I've not done that with any mail-related files (I made two minor changes to a http config file a while ago, otherwise it's all been through Server Admin).
Is there any way to reset the mail-related files so that Server Admin will return to life, or do I have to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X 10.4.4 hoping it doesn't happen again?
By the way, the problem started a few days ago, and the upgrade to 10.4.4 didn't magically cure it.

I'm having the same problem (and updating to 10.4.5 did not fix it either).
In my case, it takes 30 seconds for the "A connection with a server or service was lost." to come up; I have a lot of mailing lists, and was wondering if it was some sort of timeout value on the server admin server end. (I hope that Server Admin doesn't write out every mailing list's membership every time you change any Mail setting!)
You can make some changes using the serveradmin command line tool. For example, I noticed this problem when trying to turn on log-rolling.
First, to find the appropriate command:
sudo serveradmin settings mail > mailsettings
I grepped for "log":
grep "log" mailsettings | grep -v mailman
(grep -v mailman drops any mailman settings, such as all of the users where "log" appears in their e-mail address)
And found:
mail:postfix:logrolling_daysenabled = no
I then ran the command:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:logrolling_daysenabled = yes
to turn log rolling on. Quitting Server Admin and getting back into it showed that logrolling_daysenabled was enabled.
So that might be a temporary solution for simple changes.
In my case, this is a very fresh server: purchased and put into play over a period of three weeks. It worked until I copied the mailing lists over, but a small number of mailing lists copied did not trigger the error. This is what leads me to believe there is some kind of timeout happening.

Yosemite Files to Copy Over After Clean Install

I've done clean installs in the past and transferred my flies over manually using Time Machine. I haven't done one since Mountain Lion I think and I know the file locations have changed a bit in Yosemite. The three main programs I'm concerned about are iTunes, Mail and iPhoto. In the past I've copied over the iTunes Library folder, Mail folder and iPhoto Library folder over and then replaced the plist in the Preference Folder. These include, com.apple.iTunes.plist, com.apple.iPhoto.plist and com.apple.mail.plist. This has always copied over the data and settings. I'm curious if this still hods true with Yosemite as it did with Mountain Lion and I want to know where these files are kept if so.
I can't seem to find any information on this or any guides. Any information would help.
Thanks

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences.

Data of Pop Up (Third Party Provider) is not copied over to SAP CRM Web UI

Hi Experts,
we have created a Function Group (ZDI_PAYMENT) and have defined FM ZDI_PAYMENT_SET to set data into the variables of this Function Group and FM ZDI_PAYMENT_GET to retrieve data out of the same variables.
Process is as follows: A customer wants to pay with his credit card but credit card can not be saved on the Service Order. So that is why a token is created and this token is saved on the Service Order. To create this token SAP CRM is connected via HTTP Connection to a third party provider. When user needs a token he pushes a button and a pop up is openened. This pop up is already provided by third party provider and in this pop up the user introduces credit card number and on the same pop up the token is visible and just has to be copied over to the SAP CRM View.
Problem now is that when we made testing we found out that for some user it works fine and FM ZDI_PAYMENT_GET gets actually the values for token and data is copied over to SAP CRM but for others it does not work. So we think it has to be to do with the browser settings but we are not really sure.
Has anybody experience with that?
Regards,
Oliver Schultze

Hi Experts,
we found out already what was the problem. We have used a URL to log in into the SAP CRM that has a port. Log In Link should be without Port.
Regards

When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
No because sync all is just that.
Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

HT3309 Share mail settings with new user account on the same mac?

I have had to set-up a new user account on my mbp to use a new piece of software which refused to work on the main user account. I want to transfer the mail settings from the original one simply so that mail opens in an identical way whichever account I'm siging in with.

Oops.
If you just need Mail settings, only copy
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
All the messages are in
~/Library/Mail

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
