How do I import my old buddy list to my new screenname?

Hello everyone. I use my AIM account with iChat to chat with my buddies. I recently created a new AIM account, and would like to transfer my old buddy list to my new screenname. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Vikram

iChat doesn't support a way of importing or exporting buddies. If the screen names were saved in Address Book, you can click the "+" at the bottom of the iChat buddy list window and import the entries.
That's currently the only way to do it.
Hope this clarifies things,
-Ryan

  • How can I import my old iPhoto library into my new version of iPhoto?

    Just purchased new iMac and am trying to import my old iPhoto library, but keep getting Unreadable Files message. I have the library file and see that it shows up as an iPhoto Library under the Kind column.

    Now that you're tried to open the correct library once see if you can perfor the following:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I import my old iPhoto library to my new macbook Pro?

    I have a new laptop pro and I don't want all my files similar to my old laptops so I didn't use the migration assistant. All I want is iPhoto to be the same on my new laptop as it is on my old laptop.
    Is there a way to do this? Can I just grab the iPhoto library folder located in user/pictures/iPhoto Library and drag over to the new mac to copywrite it? or will that still not preserve the faces, places, and event's database?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    I have a related situation. I recently purchased a new Macbook and like the originator of this post, did not use Migration Assistant to set it up. Also like the originator, I want my iPhoto library to move to my Macbook intact. My old computer is an iMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11. That computer has iPhoto 2.0.1. I dragged my iPhoto Library on to an iPod in disk mode and dragged it from that device onto my new Macbook which is running Snow Leopard and iPhoto '09. I started iPhoto on the Macbook and pointed it to the old iPhoto Library. It started up fine, updated the Library and went through its Faces recognition routine. Super, except that my old machine tells me that my Library holds 4818 images and iPhoto on my new machine counts just 3415 images.
    Can someone help me understand the discrepancy and how to rectify? Thank you.

  • How can I import my old Itunes folder into a new PC.

    My PC crashed but my Itunes library (all music, playlists apps) was saved since I keep the itunes folder on a external Hard drive. My question is how can i put it back on the new PS where I already installed the Itunes. I thought I only had to tell the "new" Itunes where the folder was, but it didnt work...

    Thanks a million! Im glad I had a back up. It´s working and syncing with my ipad! 

  • How do i transfer or export buddy list names on iChat or Aim on mac

    How do i transfer or export buddy list names on iChat or Aim on mac?

    Hi,
    If you have the AIM for Mac then you cand sign in as one Screen Name and use the Export feature to create a file of the Screen Names of that Buddy list.
    (you can then sign in under a different name and import the names)
    In iChat it helps if all the Buddies have Real Names or Nicknames so that they have entries in the Address Book.
    You can then create Groups in the Address Book and move all the Cards into one Group.
    All the names in that Group can then be selected and dragged to another AIM valid Buddy list.
    I once transferred 292 names this way.
    You can also login to multiple Accounts in some version of ichat and just Drag names form one list to another.
    You may find with any of these methods that some Buddies appear only as Off line.
    This will due to their Security Setting where they are only allowing your Original Screen Name.

  • Import an entire buddy list from another account?

    I searched for an answer for this but could not find one, if this is a repeat I apologize.
    I just created a new AIM account to use through IChat. I have an existing account that I am not going to be using anymore. i would like to import the entire buddy list.
    Is there a way to do this all at once, or in a few easy steps? Drag and drop?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    (disclaimer: I did not read through your Swing code, as I find that painful)
    My question is how do I access a private arraylist from a different class in the same
    package?Provide a public accessor method (getMyPrivateArrayList())

  • How can I import a previous recipient list from Snow Leopard?

    I just upgraded computers and did a clean install without Migration Assistant. How can I import the previous recipient list in Mail? As a way of having a backup, I deleted my address book on the old computed, added all the previous recipients to the Address Book, and exported the address book as an Address Book Archive and also a VCF file.
    Thanks.

    PAHU,
    To answer your question, the new AIO is also a Canon, an MG8120 - I could be wrong, but I got the impression the printer removal might have been part of the Lion upgrade code.  i.e. "I see you have a new printer, do you  want to keep the old printer that I can't find?"
    I see the IJScanner and Devices folders.  Given that both AIOs are/were Canons, any suggestions on how to remove just the MP970 components without affecting the MG8120 ones?  (The ones in the TWAIN Data Sources were clearly labeled, so it was easy to tell what belonged to what.)
    Thanks in advance.
    Sorry for the delay in responding.  I must have my notifications messed up.  Never got an e-mail indicating there had been a reply to my question.

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? Is there a single HTML file I should be looking for on my NAS?

    I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? I can easily find the folder "Favorites" on my NAS, but can't get Firefox to "see" this folder, or my bookmarks.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I access my old iphoto libary on my newer laptop? I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

    How can I access my old iphoto libary on my newer laptop?
    I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

    Do the following:
    rename the old library to something other that iPhoto Library.
    copy the library to the Pictures folder on your new laptop.
    launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the old library to open it and convert it to the newer version.
    Note:  if the older version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on it before opening with iPhoto on your new laptop.
    If you want to merge the two libraries into one library and keep the edited versions, keywords, titles, etc. you'll need to use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to do the merging.
