How do i move aol mail from windows to imac?

got a new imac, trying to move mail from aol on windows to mac, assumed it was as easy as loading aol desktop and connecting....but, no mail shows up...any ideas?

Hello:
Open the Apple Mail application.  There should be guidance for adding your AOL mail to the application.  I have AOL mail and have it seamlessly integrated into Apple Mail.  Since AOL uses IMAP, your mail resides on the AOL server.

  • How do I move Outlook email from Windows to iMac

    I have decided to move from Windows (Vista) to iMac (Mavericks) and need to move all my email from my Windows PC (Outlook 2010) to iMail. 
    I've found several suggestions on the internet including various software applications for converting from one to the other although most seem to indicate problems with lost emails.  Is there a recommended method from Apple which works?
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Scribeswtr,
    If you are storing your emails locally on your Windows machine and would like to move them to your new Mac, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How do you transfer entourage mails from an old iMac to a new iMac

    I need to transfer the entourage 2008  mails from my former iMac 23" to a new iMac 27", but the import doesn't work.
    Any suggestion is welcome

    Connect the two with a Firewire cable - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode and the new computer normally. Open Mail, select Import Mailboxes from the File menu. Select the Entourage option and follow instructions.

  • How do I move my library from Windows Vista hard drive that is now in an external box to a Windows 8 PC?

    My old PC operating with Windows Vista failed to reboot, ironically but only coincidentally right after I installed the latest Itunes update a few weeks ago.  It would not get past the DOS screen but getting that far I was at least able to conduct a diagnostics.  The result was Hard Drive failure "BIOS-HD."  I have a new PC with Windows 8 and have installed Itunes there as well.  I removed the Hard Drive from the old computer and placed it in an external drive box.  Fortunately, I can access everything on that drive including Itunes.  How do I move my Itunes Library from my old hard drive in the external box and connected to my new PC, to the hard drive in the new PC?  I see all sorts of instructions on line but none for the specific circumstance of the old hard drive in an external box and moving to a new PC with newer operating system (Windows 8).  Thanks

    Aside from checking here, I also Googled for an answer.  Then I faced the problem on the Internet where stuff stays there forever and so I see solutions for previous and maybe obsolete versions of Itunes.  I have no way of knowing if the seemingly sound advice was solved in later versions of Itunes.  In one case there is a great YouTube video with a guy from Circuit City (now out of business).  I found an extensive explanation that made my head explode with all the detail but I did understand enough to see that the solution they precribed has you go onto your new computer and make sure you rename your new hard drive to match the name of the hard drive from your old computer.  That way Itunes on the new computer will be able to find it okay.  These instructions also tell you to downlaod Itunes software on the new computer first and then move two different folders (I think one has the extension of .itl); one folder with the library and the other has the metadata--to the new computer.  Then to confuse things I have seen instructions that also say to just move the files and they don't address the issue with the file names like turringtest said.  Most discouraging is that all of the instructions I have talked about, explain what to do without ever addressing my specific situation where the old hard rive used to reside in an old computer and has an Vistas Operating System that apparently failed and caused me to get a new computer in the first place (I guess I could have loaded a new operating system but not sure if that would have wiped out my extensive files...also irrelevant to the discussion }:) Sorry).  Thanks for your attempt to help.  I appreciate it much.

  • How do I move my files from Windows Media Player to my ipod?

    Please help! I cannot figure out how to move the songs in Media Player over to my ipod.

    Hello 03bprice!  Follow the instructions below:
    Add files already stored on your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12485 and http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12493
    Do either of the following:
    Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
    By default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer to each file in the iTunes folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes folder instead of creating pointers to them, see Change where your iTunes files are stored. If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can’t add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.

  • How do I move e-mails from INBOX?

    E-mails are mysterially being deleted from my iPhone.  #1 - how can I prevent this from happening?  #2 - how can I create a new folder so that I can move some of the e-mails that I want to keep for an undetermined amount of time?

    Sounds like you have a POP account. You need an IMAP account to do what you want. The folders are created on the server, then synced to your phone. Once on your phone, you can then move mail to the various folders. You cannot create folders directly on your phone, and a POP account does not permit the creation of folders at all. POP is the oldest mail protocol, designed in a time when folks accessed mail on a single computer. POP does not play well in a world where folks access mail on multiple devices.

  • How do I move my mail from snow leopard to mavericks without using migration assistant

    I'm doing a clean install of Mavericks on a new MacBook Pro.  I want to move over my mail data on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard without using migration assistant (it brings over too much stuff I no longer need). I can find the library just fine by holding down the option key while clicking on the "go" menu.  However, the folder setup looks quite different than in Snow Leopard.  What do I need to bring over, and where do I put it?

    Thanks for your help. 
    Just to close the loop, it took a little more than this.  I had to start over with the following steps:
    Restart the new computer by holding down the option and R keys.
    Erase the harddrive of the new computer.
    Reinstall Mac OSX. Name during setup as unique from that on the source computer.
    Set up a system administration user with a name unique from anything on the source computer.
    Connect the two computers with firewire/lighting cable.
    Turn on the source computer holding down the t key (target disk mode).
    Using Migration Assistant bring in the users only.
    Log into the account with the mail problem, open mail, and rebuild the mailbox.
    It seems to be working now - fingers crossed.

  • How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

    How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

    If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

  • How do I move itunes library from my ipad back to my itunes library in my windows computer ?

    How do I move itunes library from my ipad back to my itunes library in my windows computer ? All the songs got transfered by mistake from my windows itunes library to my ipad. All i had wanted to do was to move a select # of songs newly purchased from my ipad to my ipod but I got mixed up. Before i knew it all teh library had been moved to my ipad?  HELP!

    You don't have to move the songs back into iTunes if you don't want to, the songs are still in iTunes on your computer - you just copied a version of the songs onto the iPad from iTunes.
    If you want to remove them from the device itself, just swipe across the song while you are in song list mode in the music app and a red delete button will pop up. You can also tap and hold down on a playlist or a album icon and the X to delete will pop up. It will not work for Genius playlists.
    You can also connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes, select the iPad on the left side, click on the Music Tab on the right, uncheck all of the music that you want to remove, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes, and that will remove the songs from the iPad.

    If you have an installation disc for Elements 9, then I would suggest that you uninstall Elements 9 from your old computer, de-activate during the uninstallation. On Windows 8 computer, insert the disc and install Elements 9, activate it during installation. However, it is not tested, according to this document from Adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4527508. Let me know how it goes.

    new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
    old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
    Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.
