How do I transfer all my files,programs, etc from my 10.5.8 OS X IMAC to my new Mavericks IMac?

I am looking to migrate all my files, photos, Word & Excel files over to my new IMac from a older 10.5.8 OS X IMac.  The Migration Assistant does not work.
Can I also get my MS Office programs to move over?   I am NOT tech savvy in the least.   Is this something I can tackle myself?
Thanks

Discover if you were using a PowerPC Mac.
Is my iMac an iMac PPC or Intel?
If you were, you'll need this tip for migrating:

If not, you just need to find Intel native counterparts to your old PowerPC software:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 and just save the documents while they are on 10.5 to a more portable format for 10.7 and later.

  • 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 can i transfer all my data 250 GB from external hard disk to MAC pro

    The simple answer is just connect the external hard drive and drag the files from there to wherever you want them to go. If you need to do something more specific, you'll have to provide more details.

  • I purchased a new computer, how do i transfer all of my itunes content from the old computer to the new one with out loosing songs, apps, pics ...ect

    i purchased a new computer, how do i transfer all of my itunes content from the old computer to the new one with out loosing songs, apps, pics ...ect

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
    As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
    Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.

    This is one of the most basic of functions of the iPhone.  This is a good time for you to read the User Guide.  All the instructions on how to operate yor phone are included.  I suggest you read through it.

  • Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

    Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

    Two ways:
    1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
    Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
    The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

  • How do I upload all my apps, calendars, etc from old iPad and iPhone to new iPad air?

    How do I upload all my apps, calendars, etc from old iPad and iPhone to new iPad air?

    provided you are using the same Apple ID
    for Apps
      just launch the App Store App
        tap on Purchased at the bottom of the page.
          tap on particular Apps you want to download and install..
    for other items
      launch the Settings App
        scroll left pane down a bit, just below Privacy
          tap on iCloud
            Turn on iCloud sharing for particular items
              Contacts, Calendars, Mail, Safari (favorites)
    Turn on iCloud sharing on your old devices and your new devices.
      Wait 10 or 15 minutes, or so depending on your WiFi network..
        You should start to see these shared items appear on your new device..
    You can turn iCloud sharing off on your old devices (and new device)
      after you are confident enough items have transferred.

  • How can I receive all my apps, pics, etc. from iCloud to put on my new iPad?

    I was unable to get anything from iCloud when initially setting up my iPad. How can I get all my apps and etc, from iCloud now that I already have my iPad set-up.. I know I have to get it thru iTunes but how do I go about it from iTunes. Please help kinda of confused here. Also do I need to do it from a computer or can I set it up right from my iPad?

    If you want to restore from your iCloud backup you actually have to erase the device and start all over again - but I think you are aware of that.
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings. That totally wipes the iPad and forces you to start all over again and then you can restore from the iCloud backup when prompted to do so.
    Unfortunately you cannot restore this way unless you are connected to WiFi. Cellular will not work, because celluar does not work until the iPad is activated and so you are in a vicious cycle with no way out until you have WiFi.
    Can you go to a library or anywhere that has free WiFi - or a friends house - and activate the iPad there? You just have to go somewhere to get an Internet connection via WiFi now.

  • Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

    Can I transfer/migrate my mail address book from my old G5 OS 10.4.11 to a new Maverick 10.9.4 ?

    Thank you so much! I actually need help transferring my old address book with all my contacts and their e-mail addresses. I had trouble setting up mail so I used my internet provider's webmail to send and receive mail, but that is fixed now.
    If I have to manually enter each contact, I'll do that, but it sure would be nice if there was a way to transfer the address book.
    Thanks again.
