How do i import old hotmail folders?

Hi
I have a new account set up in mail which i want to use as my main account because the junk mail in hotmail drove me mad. problem is that i still want to have access to all my old emails. i have tried to find out how to import my emails from my folders and inbox and know that i think i need to get them in mbox format. is this correct? and if so how do i do it from within hotmail?
Thank you

The emails that i want to import are in my web-based hotmail account and include emails that i have archived in folders internal to hotmail and that i can only access through hotmail. there are several hundred emails so i really would prefer not to have to forward each one individually to my new email address! the info i have found on the web so far indicates that it should be possible but it doesn'y say exactly how and just mentions mboxes a lot...
If you can help I would be immensly grateful

How can I Import old lbi files to DW8 - solved

A fast search here found me nothing so if someone knows of a
post feel free to point me there.
A year or so ago my DW4 started crashing to desktop everytime
I opened it, I haven't done much webwork the last few years so it
wasn't that important but now I just purchased DW8 and if I can't
get the old library files to work with the new version I am in for
a world of editing I don't want to deal with to re-create them all
and update every page that has one (groan).
I bet if DW didn't crash to desktop I could have exported the
old one and imported to DW8? But I can't so don't tell me to do
that :). I MAYYYYYY be able to do it on an old laptop that I think
it still worked on so that is a last resort, but how can there not
be some way for the modern DW to scan for old site files that
existed? I don't get it.

DW8 and DW4 were identical in the way that they create
Library items.

There still is. It's in the Assets tab of the Files Panel.

How can I synchronize all hotmail folders in Mac's "Mail"? (Not just Inbox)

I tried to synchronize my hotmail accounts in Mac's Mail but only those emails inside "Inbox" can be synchronized. No other folders under my hotmail can be synchronized. Is there any tools to solve this problem?

If you right click on a son in iTunes and click Get Info. Under the Sorting tab iyo can change how the songs is sorted in iTunes
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
Does the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?
is there anything different about the songs that do sync and those that do not? Like where they cam from? The format (Get Info>under the File tab).

How do you import Maxthon bookmark folders into Firefox (without doing each .url individually)?

Hi, I am trying to import all my bookmarks from Maxthon into Firefox,. Problem is all my bookmarks are in folders, but Firefox Import will only let me do one bookmark at a time. Is there any way to import all folders at one time or at least folder by folder? Thank you very much if you can help.

The Maxthon support site mentions using "Favorites > More Actions > Export Favorites" to export the favorites. If that does not export all of the favorites then I can not help. You could ask on the Maxthon support site about how to export all of the favorites to an HTML file.

How can I import old email files from Simeon into Apple Mail?

I used to use Esys Simeon for PC for mail at work. I recently found my Simeon email files, which I thought I'd lost. If possible, I'd love to import them to Mail, to have as part of my general email archive.
The files come as a set of nested folders. The lowest level of folders each contain a set of separate numbered files each of which contains one email in plain text (complete with all headers). The folders also contain a number of other '.dat' files with info about the folder contents.
I'm on Mail 4.5
Any ideas?
Mike

No. But…

How do you know it's plain text? File name extension ".txt"?
Message Handler?) type file system to mbox
Not likely. MH would be text, .dat suggests binary. "Mh" in "mh_cache.dat" may stand for "message handler", but it's not MH.
Try Emailchemy (test it, don't buy it until you know it works). You might have to change file name extensions from .txt to .eml. Or try to find some documentation of Simeon's file formats and directory structure. I doubt it will be easy to find a converter. Given your description, I'd probably use AppleScript.

How do I import old iphoto libraries?

I found a couple of old libraries on a firewire disk I had tucked away that I need to pull into my current library. How do I do that?
Thanks!

Charles
Depending on what information you want to bring with the photods...
1. Just the photos: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to navigate to the old library. Choose it. (It may need to be rebuilt). Then simply select all the photos and go File -> Export and export them to the desktop.. Then quite iPhoto. Hold down the option key again, and choose your main library and this time go File -> Import and bring the photos into the main library.
2. If you want to preserve metadata like keywords etc. then you'll need the merge feature of iPhoto Library Manager, which will bring all this across. You can download iPLM from

How do I import old photos into new iPhoto library?

I have a new macbook pro running iphoto 11. I am trying to import my photos onto the new computer from my old computer, running iphoto 8. I mounted the old computer as a hard disk, but when I go to import the photos into new iphoto library on the new computer, the old iphoto library is "grayed" out under the users/pictures/iphoto location.
How do I transfer the photos?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

How do I import old FCP projects that have mysteriously changed to Linux Executable files? Is it as simple as renaming the files with the.fcp extension?

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension? I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
Thanks for your help!

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either.

How do I import old history from places.sqlite to new edtion Firefox and do I loose the new history?

I have a new PC and want to import my 'favorite website info', in the dutch version called 'Bladwijzers', into the new version of Firefox on my new PC. Do I copy the old places.sqlite to the uohyzr7h.default directory to replace the existing? Or is there another option so I also can keep the new info. The new version of places.sqlite is about 3 times larger (with almost no hystory in it) then the old version. Is that a problem if I replece the new with the old version.

Firefox 5 uses a default file size of 10 MB for places.sqlite and increments that in 10 MB chunks when needed, so that probably explains the increase in size.
If you replace places.sqlite then you lose the current bookmarks and history.
If you need to preserve bookmarks then export them to an HTML file.

How can i import old projects (Final Cut Pro 10) to the new (final cut pro 10.1.1)?

Hi everyone,
I have a folder full of backup projects and events of Final Cut Pro X.
Now, I have Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and I don't know how to use those projects, since they were in a different folder.
Yhanks very much
Bruno

I'm assuming these are on a secondary drive. At the drive's root level make folders called Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events. Move the projects and events you want to work with into those folders. In FCP use File>Update projects and events. Select the drive you want to update and FCP will update the projects and events in those folders. Save the originals as backups.

How to I import old mail from Netscape to Mail?

I need to move old email from a Netscape account to a Mac Mail account. The Netscape client is still in use, but I must move from Snow Leopard to Lion and I read that Netscape will not work in Lion. So...
I located the Mail folder within Library>Mozilla>Profiles>(Account Name)>XXXX.slt>Mail>Inbox (the Inbox with no suffix). I transferred this file to a jump drive. I verified, I think, that this is the correct file by opening it with Text Edit, and it indeed has email from 2001 to today. The file is 1.58gb in size.
I tried to import it into Mail by adding .mbox to the file and selecting .MBOX in the import window. It seems to import, but the resulting mailbox has mail only from 2001 to 2003.
Any sugestions? Thanks.
BC

What OS are you using now? Still SL? I went straight from SL to LION 10.7.5.
I can't go to ML on my older MBP 17". Check at the Apple store if you need more reassurance.
The trick is to follow the import instructions and select the main profile "account name" folder. From there a list of all mailboxes is offered. Pick and choose the ones you want.
You may have an issue if your single box is excessively large (way over a gig) but I did not. Better to break them up in smaller boxes first in Netscape if you can.
LION and ML will likely break LOTS of things you rely on (for me Office, mail, contacts, toast, utilities) Luckily, transferring my Netscape mail was not one of them.
BTW, I still think NS is a better email client and Palm is a better calendar/journal, but apple gets to decide these things for us now. As with iCloud. As with maps.

How can I import old library to new iPhoto on new Mac

I bought a new macbook pro and need to move my library over but already have some pics in the new library. What is the best way to add the old 20GB library to my new iPhoto?

To migrate a Library:
Link the two Macs together even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
However you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
The only way to merge the two libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
If you've not done much with the photos already on the new machine then simply export them from that iPhoto, copy the main library over and then import them to that library
