How do I transfer all Mail settings from my MacPro to my MacBook

I managed to transfer most settings by copying some preference files, but what I don´t get to transfer is a sort of adressbook:
If I type a new e-mail and enter a letter or the beginning of a name in the adress-field, mail shows me all adresses, I have ever send an e-mail to, begining with this letter.
Which file do I need to copy, to have all these adresses on my macbook too?

Hello Felix Bartelt!
Apple Mail communicates with Apple Address Book, so if you want all your contacts on your new machine, you have to export them from Address Book first (as vCards for example). To do that open up Address Book, choose the contacts or group of contacts you want to export, choose "export vcards" from the file-menu and type the filename. After that copy the created file to your new machine, open up Address Book and import the contacts using the import-command in the file-menu (at this point you have to browse for the earlier created vcards-file). Now all your contacts should also be available for Mail.

  • How can i transfer all my photos from iMac iPhoto Library to macbook pro to iPhoto or Adobe Lightroom 5

    Just bought a 13.3" Macbook Pro Retina display Mid 2014 and would like to transfer all my Photos from my iMac to my Macbook Pro.
    I have a thunderbolt cable ?????? Would it work if i connect them together and how ? If i can get some assistance and instructions on how to do it , Will be appreciated .
    Best regards
    Sam

    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.
    If you're moving to Lightroom:
    You need to export the images from iPhoto to the Finder, then import them to your Lightroom Catalogue.

  • How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail

    How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail?
    Bonjour,
    C'est ma première intervention aussi je ne sais pas si je peux m'exprimer en français.
    Je tente!
    Lors du passage à Maveicks, j'ai basculé sur Thunderbird car je ne souhaitais pas utiliser POP mais Mail ne le permettait pas (du moins je n'ai pas réussi)
    Aujourd'hui, je souhaite revenir sur Mail et, pour celà, je dois rapatrier toutes mes données de messagerie depuis Thunderbird.
    J'utilise Imap et, pour gérer ma messagerie, j'ai créé des boîtes aux lettres dans Local Folsders
    Le passage par Eudora ne fonctionne pas avec Mavericks.
    L'import de boîtes aux lettres depuis Local Folders de Thunderbird (via le menu Fichier) ne permet de transférer qu'un seul courier par boîte aux lettres de Local Folders. Et c'est ce qui m'empêche de passer à Mail.
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

  • How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?

    How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?

    Do a full sync and backup of your one. I use iTunes for all my backing up. Then unplug the one and plug in the Air. Go through the setup process and when you have the choice to 'set up as new or restore from backup' chooose the the restore and your air will be a near clone of your One. You will need to reset up wifi and website passwords, but the data should be there.
    Once you are sure the Air has all you need on it, you can go into the settings and 'erase all content and settings' which puts your One back to the 'out of box' state to you can sell it if you want.

  • Is there any way to transfer my mail settings from my iPhone to Outlook 2010?

    OK, so it is easy to transfer your mail settings from Outlook or a.n.other mail system to your iPhone, but can it be done the other way?
    Is it possible to set up all your mail accounts on your iPhone and then import them, complete with settings, passwords et al, to Outlook????

    No.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

    For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)
