Data transferred to folder on new MacBookPro but cannot get contacts to import to Contacts @

How to transfer contacts from a data folder from a 2011 MacBookPro to a new 2012 MacBookPro Contacts (@)  There are the contacts in the folder put on the desktop of the new Mac from the old drive they were able to copy data from before giving me a new laptop due to faulty drives. New has Mountain Lion but older one had Snow Leopard? iCloud did not work from old laptop to my iPad, just copied my Groups, not all my contacts. All contacts are on the data transferred folder, but they will not import into Contacts on the new.

You're going to need to contact customer service for whoever you have your data plan with.

  • HT1349 I have a new laptop but cannot get my old itunes on it with my library please help

    Please help me get my old itunes on to my new computer, yes it is authorised but I cant get my music or anything??

    This issue does not have anything to do with AirPort networking. You may find that you will get better assistance if you repost it in the iTunes area.
    However, in the mean time, what is the make & model of both your "old" and "new" computers? Was both the iTunes Library and Media Folder located on that old computer? Do you use iTunes Match?

  • TS3899 just got my 5c transfered everything over to new phone but my mailis not connecting

    just synched old sim to new sim for new phone but cannot get into mail please help

    I think you may have the process confused. You do not sync anything to do with the SIM. If you sync your phone via the iTunes process and sync over the email settings, the one thing that does not sync is the password. You need to go into the mail accounts in settings and enter your password. To receive mail, you need to go into the Incoming Mail server settings, to send mail, it is the outgoing or SMTP server. Did you read through the support document that you linked to the forum with?

  • Created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read

    created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read.  I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd.  Any suggestions.  I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

    There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video.  I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player.  The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.   
    I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project.  But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu? 
    When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options.  It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.).  You need software that will made a DVD-V disc.  Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn. 

  • Transferred all ok, receiving new emails but inbox...

    Hi,
    Transferred all ok, receiving new emails but inbox only showing past 7 days worth of mail... how can I retrieve last two months!
    Transferred on my imac (mail for mac) and iphone with no real issues, sub folders all ok.. but I can only see past 7 days worth of mail in my inbox.  
    Is there any way I can retreive older messages as bt web mail is the same... goes back to the 7th only!
    Cheers\

    Yes this has happened many times now judging by the posts that I have read. I do think the mods should investigate just what is happening here with holding for an hour or so only to be told that "You are number 2 in the queue." and then to be cut off - this is truly mindblowingly awful. There is no wonder that people lose their rag on this forum occasionally about this lack of care.
    Mistakes and embarrasing goofs in e-mails are only discovered when you've sent them!

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Just bought the new i phone 4s, set up my apple id, verified with email. I can sign into it on the computer no problem but cannot get to it through iphone. Unable to download apps or music. let me know if anybody has any solutions, thanks

    If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account).  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I'm trying to install Creatice Suite 5.5 on a new Mac but I get the error message "Inconsistency in the installer database. Please restart your computer and install again."

    I'm trying to install Creatice Suite 5.5 on a new Mac but I get the error message "Inconsistency in the installer database. Please restart your computer and install again."
    I have restarted but that doesn't help.

    Jonkpirateboy did you migrate/transfer/copy your CS5.5 application to this new Mac?
    If so then please utilize the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  You will then want to run the CC Cleaner Tool located at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Finally if you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available for download at Download CS5.5 products.

  • I have changed my apple ID but cannot get my Mac computer to change it on iCloud.  I have signed out but do not know how to sign back in with my new id.

    I have successfully changed my apple ID and password, but cannot get my Mac computer to change it on iCloud.  I have accessed system preferences, iCloud and sign out.  But now I do not know how to sign in using my new id and password.  I would like iCloud to work on my Mac so that it will sync to my iPhone and iPad.  I have installed all of the latest software.  How do I change this account on my Mac?

    Do you have your Mac backed up?
    If not, you should use Time Machine to back up your Mac to an external hard drive just "in case".
    But if all you did was change your existing ID, then deleting the Calendar infomation from the Mac when you sign out should not be an issue. Since it is the same Apple ID, it is the same iCloud account (just with a different name), so your Contacts, Calendars, etc. are stored in iCloud. When you sign back in, you will have the option to sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, etc. with iCloud - it should already be checked. Just sign back in, and your iCloud info will re-download to your Mac.
    I just tried this, and all of my stuff showed up when I signed back in. Notes took a couple of seconds to load once I opened them, but they are all there.
    Note: If you are signing on with a brand new Apple ID, then nothing will be downloaded because it will be an entirely different iCloud account. But if it is the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID with just a new email, then it will all be restored.

    Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

    I have a new iPod and cannot get my music loaded on to it. The computer says it's not connected, and then it says it is synced but there's still no mucis on it.

    If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Did you downgrade iTunes? What version is listed in Help> About iTunes?
    If you don't have iTunes 10.5.2, download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
