How do I move addresses from one computer to another

Hi,
i have a large address book on my Palm desktop which is version 4.1.4 running on Windows XP home O/S. I am trying to port these addresses on to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Professional O/S which has version 6.2.2 palm desktop by Access.
I tried bring all the ABA files from Palmone directory to my home directory -> Palm OS Desktop -> my profile name -> Address
I did this previously on other computers and it always picked up the files and moved over the addresses but this time, these records are not opening up for me. When I go to Palm desktop and try File -> Open Archive -> It is actually looking at the ABA files that I brought over from my ols laptop but it failes ot fetch all records over.
Appreciate if someone can help me resolve this ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Sreen

Try using the export procedure and then import. Make sure when you export to select all for the range.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

    I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

    Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
    Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
    Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
    Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.

  • How to I move IWeb from one computer to another?

    I have IWeb on both my MacBook and my IMac.    I can only edit my website from one computer (MacBook).   How do I move that capability to the IMac?

    The file you need is names Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sties2 (iWeb 3) and it lives in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. 
    You want to move that iWeb folder to the Home/Library/Application Support folder on your iMac.
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

    There isn't, so you're on the honor system.  Install and put in your serial number on the new machine.

  • How do you move music from one computer to another

    I have ripped my entire CD collection to an old laptop, basically turning it into a jukebox.  I would like to move the music to my new laptop as well.  I have tried to copy the music folder to an external hard drive and then copying it to the music folder on the new laptop, but this does not seem to work, as the music does not show up in iTunes. I have tried opening and closing iTunes, to see if this would work, but it has not.  Please help. Thanks.

  • HT1657 how do you move a movie rental from one computer to another computer

    I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Macbook Air.
    I now want to watch it on my iMac, but it tells me its authorized to play on another computer.
    FAQ says I need to move it from one computer to another.
    How do I do this?

    You may be able to move it by syncing it to an iPod or iOS device capable of playing it and then using the Transfer Purchases function; it won't play on the destination computer if moved in the normal way.
    If it can't be moved that way, no.
    If the MacBook Air isn't usable, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • How do i move pictures from one iphone to another?

    How do I move pictures from one iphone to another?

    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. You can transfer the backup from one iPhone to another which will include all data included with the backup.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer. After importing from one iPhone, the photos can be transferred to another iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the PhotoStream on one iPhone running iOS 6 can be made available on another iPhone running iOS 6 by creating a shared PhotoStream album, or if the same iCloud account is accessed on both iPhones, the PhotoStream album will be identical on each iPhone.

  • I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

    I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.  Both have Digital Editions installed.  Older one 2.0 ver has books installed.  Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed.  Both are authorized with the same user id.  Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first?  How do I do that?  Do I have to manually transfer files?  How do I do that?  Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

    Figured it out.  Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions.  duh.  Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

  • How to Transfer the iPhone from one computer to another Win XP

    All
    I got my wife a new macbook pro, running Windows XP prof. She has an iphone 3G with 16 GB memory running 3.0.1. So..she wanted to transfer the sync function from her PC to her macbook. Of course, Apple was of NO help at all (but did want to charge us $69.95 since her iphone is out of warranty, and this was an iphone not a mac problem, hmmm..). Took me lots of digging, but here is how you transfer you iphone from one computer to another:
    1. Move you itunes library from the old computer to the new one. To do this, you do NOT just copy it. This is as good a link to use as any to see how to do it, but search the internet and you can find instructions:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10242259-49.html
    2. Transfer your applications you have purchased to the new computer. To do this, open itunes in the new computer, hook up your phone and click on File>transfer purchases (from itunes store) to computer. This will move your applications to the new computer.
    3. Export your MS outlook calendar, contacts, notes, etc. to the new computer by saving each of these categories as a PST file (file>export>then choose the category and type of file)...and then copy these PST files to your new computer and import them into MS outlook.
    4. Copy your playlists from itunes on your old computer to your new computer. This link may be helpful or search the internet again if you need to:

    5. Now...the important part...how to transfer all your settings from the iphone to the new computer....this is the part that was hard to find online, but finally got it: NOTE: THE BACKUP THAT ITUNES MAKES BACKS UP THE APPLICATION SETTINGS BUT NOT THE APPS SO THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO TRANSFER THE APPS TO THE NEW COMPUTER. The settings have all the data you put into your apps, email settings, preferences, etc...so its a huge time save to transfer these to the new computer also.
    -Sync your iphone with your old computer to have a backup in case you mess up...in that case you can restore from your old computer and start over
    -Plug your iphone into the new ocmputer and start itunes. It will detect your phone (I assume you have already authorized your new computer to use the library and playlists and apps that you moved)
    -Right click on the "iphone" on the left bar...you will see a popup menu...click on "BACKUP". Let it backup your iphone to the new computer. It will NOT sync the phone
    -When the backup is done....copy the backup file to a temp directory to be safe. The backup is located in "documents and settings">user name>applications>apple computer>mobile sync. If you cannot see it, you need to open windows explorer (not internet explorer) and go to tools>folder options>view and click on "show hidden files and folders" Note YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE BACKUP FROM THE OLD COMPUTER TO THE NEW COMPUTER AS SUGGESTED ON SOME WEB SITES...THIS DOES NOT WORK, ITUNES WILL NOT IDENTIFY THE BACKUP EVEN IF YOU PUT IT IN THE FOLDER IN THE NEW COMPUTER THAT MIRRORS THE FOLDER LOCATION IN THE OLD COMPUTER.
    -OK now you are ready...click restore on the iphone and restore the phone to factory settings. This will happen in a few minutes (10-15 mins).
    -The phone will reboot and itunes will recognize the phone again...as a restored phone. It will then ask you if you want to restore it from the backup..say YES. You then need to go through all the itunes tabs and click on everything you want to sync to the phone (playlists, movies, podcasts, ringtones, etc). Once you are done going thru the tabs click "apply" and the sync will start. Go out, to a movie, to bed, whatever because it will take hours to sync.
    -Once the sync is done...voila...your iphone has been moved with ALL the settings to the new computer. Check it. Then you can delete the backup you put into the temp folder if it is OK
    -Deauthorize your old computer
    This worked for Win XP...should work for Vista. The whole process took many hours so don't rush through it (i'm guessing 12 hours total work).

  • How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
