How do I import emails from my old eMac to iMac G5

I have recently upgraded to an iMac G5. I need to copy all my old emails (3 years worth) from my old eMac to the new computer. What options do I have? I don't want to copy anything else (applications or documents). I use Apple's Mail on both computers. Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You're welcome.
If the eMac supports being connected to another Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode (which I believe it does), you can connect both Macs this way for the import and for manually transferring any and all data from the eMac.

How do I import Bookmarks from my old hard drive to the one in my new mac?

How do I import Bookmarks from my old hard drive to the one in my new Mac? The old drive is installed in Bay 2 of my new Mac.

Hi
Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist is the file you want. Use a copy, just in case & do it with Safari quit.

How do I import playlists from an old library file?

How do I import playlists from an old library file?
I have a new computer and it has the music files completely reorganized from my last computer so I can't just drop in my old library files and have it work. Basically, I'm hoping there is some way to recover my old playlists from my old backed up copy of my music library without recreating my old jumbled file paths and just using my old library.

Backup the current passwords with the Password Exporter extension.
Then you can re-import them afterward.
For restoring the names and passwords from Firefox 3.5.x and later you need the file signons.sqlite from the old profile.
You also need the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] that stores the encryption key in addition to the signons file.
Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
For the bookmarks to need to do something similar unless you have a HTML backup of the old bookmarks because restoring a JSON backup replaces all current bookmarks.
If you need to preserve current bookmarks then you can export your bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file and import that file afterward.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML & Import HTML > From File
Another possibility is to use the clipboard to store selected bookmarks before restoring a JSON backup (e.g. All Bookmarks: Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C).
You can paste the bookmarks from the clipboard back after you have restored a JSON backup.
That will preserve all data including tags and annotations, but you should create an HTML backup to be safe.

How do i import dates from a old iCal backup?

How do i import dates from a old iCal backup?......
Somehow when moving to iCloud, some of my old info dissapeared, but i know i have it on a old backup.
Right now there is no way to do anything except fully replace your current data with the new import.
any ideas?

No. Restoring the backup is all or nothing. You would have to back up the iPad you are restoring the backup to to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and import the recovered photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore the iTunes backup to return the iPad to its original state.
Some things to be aware of are that camera roll photos from an iPad can only be restored to another iPad. Also, Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you might want to make sure the backup is still there first (by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage).

How do I forward email from my old isp (comcast) to verizon email

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon and need to get my email from my old comcast account. The installer said to use TRUESWITCH.COM but that site is no longer in service. Thanks.

If you're trying to access old emails stored on Comcast's servers, you may be able to do that through their webmail service. This will only work if your Comcast account is still active. If you are able to get into your account, you can forward individual messages to your new Verizon email.
If you're trying to make sure any new email sent to your Comcast account is automatically forwarded to Verizon, again you'll need access to your Comcast account.
Bottom line, if you've cancelled your Comcast account you most likely have lost everything you had stored on their servers. Your best bet is to contact Comcast to find out your options.
Good Luck.

How do i import pictures from my old iMac directly to my new iMac using iPhoto?

Hello! I have just got a new iMac and I am struggling with Migration Assistant to transfer data from my old iMac to the new one
I have tried to follow the standard procedure with firewire cable without luck
I am now desperately trying to find a smart way to import pictures stored in the old iPhoto (old iMac) to the new iPhoto in the new iMac
can anyone help??
Thanks a lot
Valentina

thanks a lot for your tips, which unfortunately I am not able to follow as I currently stand
here is what happened, this morning when i started the new iMac I realized that i had in fact managed to complete the migration
upon start-up, the new iMac gave me the option to choose whether to log-in as the old Me (i.e. previous account in old iMac) or the new me
If choosing the old, I can access my old iPhoto and iTunes material
If I log-in as the new me, I am in the new iMac and do not know how to access neither iPhoto nor iTunes libraries
Question 1: Is there a way to access both libraries (iPhoto and iTunes) logging-in using the new credentials?
Eventually I would love to get rid of this double users accounts as I do not find it too convenient, I would rather consolidate the important data (i.e. pictures and music) in the new account
Question 2: Alternatively, if I were to follow the tip you gave me and forget about the migration altogether, can you help me locate the iPhoto library in the old iMac so that I can drag it as a single entity from the old Mac? could you also explain what I need to do to move it to the pictures folder of the new iMac?
Thanks so much for helping, pls consider me as a very basic Apple user, I appreciate you making it very easy for me to understand, do not give a lot of details for granted as I do not know a lot of stuff (for ex, I would not know where to start to "drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac")
hope you can help, make my day!

How do I import contacts from an old nokia phone into an iPhone?

I was wondering if anyone knew how I could import a .CSV file containing 79 contacts "<First Name><Last Name><Phone Number>" into an iPhone 4S and have those fields populate into the "Contacts" folder of the iPhone?
I basically have an ancient Nokia that has all my contacts in it. The teenager with a lip ring was unable to import my contact because they were missing cable 102 for their little import/export device. And if I am going to have to manually key in all my contacts, I'd rather do it on an Excel Spreadsheat and save it as a .CSV file than sit there for 2 hours going bling typing into an iPhone.
Anyone have a solution for this?

You should be able to import the CSV file into a contact program such as Outlook and then sync that to the iPhone.

How do I import music from my iPhone to my iMac?

Recently my hard drive on my iMac crashed and I lost all my music that I had on iTunes. I have a new copy of iTunes on my iMac and still have all of my songs on my iPhone. I just need to know how to import the songs from my iPhone to my iMac using iTunes. The first time I hooked my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes came up and asked if I wanted to sync my iPhone to my iMac. When I did that, my iPhone imported all my songs from my iMac. I want to know how to do the reverse. I'm concerned that if I hook my iPhone to my iMac, it might end up erasing all of my songs on my iPhone. I just need to know how to avoid doing that, thank you.

Because of ownership issues, songs are intended to go from the Mac to the iPhone, and not the other way. When your hard drive crashes, the expectation is you will restore from your backup, not your iPhone.
Having said that, the iPhone can send music you purchased from the iTunes Store back to the Mac. The way to do that is plug your iPhone into iTunes and choose File > Device > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.

How do i import emails from outlook 2013 on windows 8.1?

I'm using the tools: import but i get the following error after i select the type of file that i would like to import (i select outlook):
Microsoft Office Outlook. Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
I checked my windows settings. it says that outlook is the default mail client and outlook is running when i do this.
What is wrong?

Hi Willimo,
The main issue is to install the graphic driver software ,right ?
There are two ways to get the driver, automatically update from the windows update or manually download the driver from the manufacturer website and install it from the device manager.
Please refer to the following link :

How do I import photos from my droid to my iMac?

I just want to import my recent photos to my iMac and I am not getting anywhere.

If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

HT201269 How can i transfer sent email from my old iphone to the new one?

Trying to figure out how to transfer sent email from my old iphone 4 to my new iphone 5s. Anyone have any idea?

If you have a POP account, this will not happen. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account signing in as the other poster stated will work. So, it depends on what type of account you have.

How do I import pics from my iPad to my Imac?

When you plug it in to sync, it should call iPhoto automatically. You can also use the Image Capture program located in the apps folder. You can import from there to several different destinations.

How do I back up emails from an old iPhone

I purchased a new iPhone a couple days ago and realized there are important emails only located on my old iPhone. I need to back it up iCloud but have not had any luck. Do I need a sims card in it? Any suggestions?

Your email should be stored on your email provider's server. If this is an iCloud email account, for example, they would be stored on the iCloud email server, and can be viewd on icloud.com.
They should also appear on your new phone when you sign into the account.
The only exception would be if you are using an older POP/POP3 account, and the these older emails are no longer on your provider's server. If that's the case, and the email is only on your older phone, I'm not sure how you would be able to extract them from your old phone. Perhaps your carrier could temporarily switch your service back to your old phone, allowing you to forward these emails from your old phone to another account, then switch your service back to your new phone.

How do I import email messages from another server?

Heya,
So I can't figure out how to import mail messages from another server into this one? I had [email protected] pointing to the old one, when I repointed it obviously all my email "disappeared" because there is none on the new server. So how do I move it from the old server to the new one? Usually I'd just drag and drop the email message files over FTP but SLS doesn't seem to give me permission to do that on this one.
Thanks!
