Help with moving my Outlook Contacts to my new MBP??

Hi,
I just purchased a new MBP, and am migrating all my data from my PC to my MacBook. I have saved my Outlook Contacts as a .pst file (using Microsoft backup), and have them on CD now. I understand that you can move those files into the Mac address book.
Is this possible, and if so, is there a tutorial here or in the Apple help section?
Thanks,
Dave

Your method is not possible as far as I am aware. You need to purchase O2M (Outlook To Mac) which is shareware at $10. It will copy most of your Outlook data (you choose which) into a format that can be imported by Mac Address Book and iCal and Mac Mail. Good luck. It worked like a charm for me.

I need help with moving my iTunes library to a new disk...

I'm soon gonna get a new SSD which is half the size of my HDD. So i guess i wont be able to restore with time machine or use disk utility to clone the drive. I'll have to start with a fresh copy of moutain lion.
What I'll want to do is that keep all my music on my ssd and let all the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd.
can someone outline the steps to...
create a library on the ssd on which os x is installed.
move music, playlists and apps.
let the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd and yet be accessible from itunes, like being referenced.
in the past i did this by moving the entire library to the internal drive and then while itunes was running, move the videos from the library folder to the external drive. it autoMAGICALLY was able to find the videos on the external drive while my music and apps were stored in the internal.
now my library size is so big with all the videos that i cannot do the above steps as i want be able to copy the entire library to the internal ssd.
any help is appreciated.
thanks in addvace.

Sometimes we sleep. We have even been known to be away from the keybord to bathe (but usually not for longer than 2 minutes once a week ).
I don't know how you automagically did it last time - your details are lacking. iTunes is normally terrible at following you moving things, especially from drive to drive. You either have to let iTunes do the moving (by consolidating to a new location) or you have to disable iTunes managing your media in which case it will follow moving inside a drive but still not between drives.
Despite the new version, iTunes still does not make it easy to split your library between drives. Probably since you only buy your items from iTunes and are never away from a high speed Internet connection it doesn't matter since you can always stream or download items you need from your Match subscription, right?

IPod Touch sync problem with MS Office Outlook Contacts

Having successfully syncd complete MS Ofice Outlook Contacts to my new IPod Touch, I am finding that subsequent changes to both IPod and Outlook Contacts are not sycning. On the other hand Calendar is working perfectly!

Not sure if I need to post my question as a separate entry, but let me first try here since this topic came up.
I have set up iTune to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts, with "replace items on iPod with Outlook" option checked. When I connect my iPod, the status bar says it is syncing with Calendar and Contacts. But nothing is changed if I open my contacts/calendar on my iPod. Any idea?

What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?

What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air? I don't know very much about Microsoft (almost nothing). Does she need to plug into one of the USB ports on her Microsoft computer (about 5 years old)? I also have an iMac (that I use for syncing but she needs her contacts from Outlook. She doesn't really want all of them...there are 1,000's of teachers that work in her district and she does no tent to add 1,000's of contacts.

If she only has a few she can e-mail those contacts to herself, open that mail on her iPad and save them from there.

Help with Moving Emails from Exchange Server 2013

Hi Team,
Help, I need a solution on how to copy incoming and outgoing emails together with their attachments and was hoping someone could help with a solution I need to find for this problem.
1) I have a need to copy all incoming and outgoing emails & attachments from Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes on a daily basis, so they can be archived into an external 3rd party database overnight.
I believe that the first step is that I can set up another Exchange mailbox, through Journaling to receive these emails.
Is there any way that these emails can then be moved direct from the Journaling mailbox that I have created, to a shared folder on the network? If so what format would they be sent out as e.g. .msg, .ems and what is the process?
Failing that, could they be sent to an Outlook client (not another Exchange mailbox) on the network and stored in a .pst file? (I have a program that will export them from .pst)
I would really appreciate any assistance that you can provide in this matter.
Regards, Greg.

Hi,
You can set auto-forward on journaling mailbox and auto-forward emails to another mailbox. Why don’t directly archive the emails from the journaling mailbox “an external
3rd party database”.
Thanks,
Simon Wu

Needing help with moving pictures around

I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
picture around the document window. The book say "place the
insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
screen”
Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
the page.
In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
properties dialog.
Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
That is what you will really need to understand before you
can really get proficient at web design.
At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
“contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
defined around your content.
Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts…

Sync with second user outlook contact lists?

I have an enterprise user that would like to sync his iPhone with his administrative assistant's Outlook contact lists. Is there a way to accomplish this?

The iPhone 4 will allow sync with multiple Exchange accounts. It would be interesting to try this, at least on a test basis. I'd worry though about duplication or overlap of contact lists. I haven't tried this myself but it would be interesting to see what happens.

Help with moving files

I'm having problems copying data across my network to my new mac mini and i'm looking for some help with how to resolve this issue.
I'm using "Connect to Server' to connect via SMB to a Vista x64 machine that has the files I need to copy. I'm mounting the share as the user that has permissions to the files on the vista client. The connection is fine, but when I start the copy process, I receive an error message about not having the appropriate permissions to copy files and then the entire copy process fails. Here is the exact error message:
Copy
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
OK
From the vista machine I have logged in as the same user and I have taken ownership of ALL of the files and folders I'm trying to copy. I also made sure that the folder is shared with EVERYONE having full access (not something I would normally do, but figured it might help this situation). The vista machine is in a workgroup if that makes a difference.
Question 1: how can I do this via command line so that instead of stopping the entire file copy it skips the ones it can't copy and copies the rest of them?
With hundreds of subfolders and thousands of files, I have no idea which ones it is failing to copy making this process quite painful.
I'm also stuck on another basic issue - when I originally connected to the share, I told the OSX machine to remember the password. If I want to reconnect to the share using a different username and different password, how do I get OSX to reprompt me for this information?
Help

You are probably better off using
ditto
In a terminal
man ditto
and read the description and instructions.
Yes, sadly, many copy process when the fail at a file abort the rest of the process. Windows does this as well.

Help with moving contact info using Apple Script in Address Book

Hi folks,
I wonder if someone can help? I imported a few hundred contacts via a Gmail created vCard into my Address Book. The problem is that instead of inserting the email addresses into one of the email fields for each record, it has inserted the email address into the Notes field as follows: "EmailAddress: [email protected]".
I would like help to write an Apple Script that will search my contacts in Address Book, find those with "EmailAddress:" in the notes field, cut the email address that follows it, and pastes it into the Work Email field, carries out the operation for the whole address book and saves the changes.
Can anyone help me write a script for this. I've not used Apple Script before so this will be my first attempt!
Thanks in advance,
ayworld

This should work:
tell application "Contacts"
activate
          set thePeople to every person whose note contains "EmailAddress:"
          set {oldTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
          repeat with thePerson in thePeople
               set nn to thePerson's note
                make new email at end of emails of thePerson with properties {label:"Notes", value:text item 2 of nn}
          end repeat
save
end tell
It will leave the entry in notes and make the label of the new email 'Notes"
Normally when I post an AppleScript like this I tell the user to test it out before using it on the actual data but in this case I don;t know how you'd do that given there is only one Contacts and only one Contacts database.
Just make sure you have a backup just in case. I tried it here on some dummy entries in my Contacts and it worked OK.
Again this totaly relies on the data you presented. The Notes field has to be in the format
EmailAddress:[email protected]
for this to work.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - If you select all the text in the box, then right click and select Make new AppleScript the script will open in the AppleScript editor. Just make sure you get all the text it is easy to drop the first or last char when selecting.

Help with moving contacts from iPhone 4s

Hello. I want to copy my contacts from my iphone 4s and add them to another phone - possibly an Android or new iPhone. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

How do I safely synchronize my BlackBerry Contacts with my Microsoft outlook Contacts?

I have lots of contacts on my BlackBerry, transferred from previous phones I've owned. This was the most difficult transfer I ever did as it seems BlackBerry is different to regular mobile phones. Now I would like to store all this information in Microsoft Outlook 2010. Can this easily be done?
When I'm finished I'd also like to sync with my Gmail account as well. Please help.

Finally managed to sync BB to Outlook, with help from other forums. Will probably sync between Outlook and Gmail via csv export and import.
Its a bit puzzling and disappointing that this post was viewed 50 times in 30 hours and no one attempted to help.

Help on Sync-ing Outlook Contacts to Ipad air

i have just bought the new ipad air and am having the devil's job understadning how to sync my life's contacts all on the Home Pc using Outlook with the new i-pad air; other answers have mentioned finding Info on the i-tunes - but i can't find that anywhere.
please can someone help me with this in foolproof terms?! thanks in advance.... and Happy New Year!!

Ok, so first try these steps on your iOS device:
Go to settings, scroll down and tap on "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". Then, once you are there, click on "Add Account". Since you are using hotmail, tap other. You will then tap "Add Mail Account". Fill in the required fields and tap next. Make sure contacts is selected; if you want your hotmail e-mail address to sync to your inbox, then make sure e-mail is selected too. Once you tap add, all of your hotmail contacts in the contacts app should have their own home. If this doesn't work, then I might have a link to help you.

Help with moving buttons

I am totally new with flash. I am using the following
tutorial which I believe I followed correctly.
http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/advWebsite-flash-tutorial.html
I have edited the site just a bit adding my own graphics and
colors. The problem is that when you first view the site all the
buttons stay in the up position. Once you click each one once, they
function properly. Here is the script that I have.
stop()
content.gotoAndStop("home")
current = menu.home_button
setMove = true;
yMove = -10
menu.home_button.onPress = function(){
if(this != current){
current._y = 0
setMove = true
content.gotoAndStop("home")
current = this
menu.league_button.onPress = function(){
if(this != current){
current._y = 0
setMove = true
content.gotoAndStop("league")
current = this
menu.photos_button.onPress = function(){
if(this != current){
current._y = 0
setMove = true
content.gotoAndStop("photos")
current = this
menu.downloads_button.onPress = function(){
if(this != current){
current._y = 0
setMove = true
content.gotoAndStop("downloads")
current = this
menu.forum_button.onPress = function(){
if(this != current){
current._y = 0
setMove = true
content.gotoAndStop("forum")
current = this
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(setMove){
if(yMove < current._y){
current._y --
}else{
setMove = false
Also here is a link to the actual site that I have published.
http://67.175.252.196/New%20Site/Test%20Website.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just figured it out. The buttons just needed to be moved
down below the bar. It had nothing to do with the
actionscript.
