How do I my email list from my old computer. I am using my personal email that I have had for 15 yrs

Need to import my email address list from my computer to this new unit. HELP
Never used Thunderbird previously, my old computer email is Outlook Express

Outlook express stores the address book in a windows address book file. These have a WAB file extension. Locate the address .wab file on your old computer and put it on a USB disk to transfer to you new computer.
In the new computer type "contacts" without quotes into the search box on the start menu and press enter.
In The windows contact pane that appearsselect import from the top row and follow the prompts to load your wab file.
Then make a couple of changes to Thunderbird as I discuss here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html to have the windows contacts appear in Thunderbird.

    How do I move my ichat from my old computer to my macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have come back to review this as the title included reference to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5224
    From AIM you may also see this:-
    The basic premise seems to be that AIM are no longer going to support (accept) the three types of Apple Issued IDs and leave @icloud.com ones as the only ones.
    The Messages appearing in Mavericks seems ot override the implication in the article that moving to a later version of Lion (later iChat 6) and higher will be one resolution.
    The article finishes with suggesting Maverick OR changing to an AIM Name - apparently missing that you need either an AIM name for older iChats if you ar not going to Upgrade OR needing an AIM or @icloud.com ID if using you are upgrading.
    Solution.
    Create a new Buddy list. (whilst keeping the old one active). It does not matter if you are upgraded or Not at this point.
    Make the Screen Name an AIM registered one if you are going to be still using iChat 5 or lower or an early version of iChat 6 in Lion.
    Now highlight every single Buddy in your old Buddy list (Display Off LIne Buddies as well).
    Click the the top one and hold Shift whilst clicking the bottom one.
    Click and Drag to new Buddy List.
    I have moved 264 this way before.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    how do i switch my itunes from my old computer to my new computer with out losing my info like playlists and apps?

    I'd suggest following this apple doc to a T: ^.^
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    it will backup your Libary file, which contains all of your playlists and what not. Good luck ^.^

  • How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account

    How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account.

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing iTunes library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.
