How do I transfer email files when upgrading from OS9 to OS X(10.2.8)?

I upgraded to OS X(10.2.8) and was able to locate and open all the "old" files except the email files (so I reversed the upgrade).
Using Outlook Express in OS 9. Is there a way to find the email files from the OS 10 configuration or somehow export or transfer the email files prior to making the upgrade from 9 to 10?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Apple Mail will import mail from MS Outlook Express. The current version has the import function under File>Import Mailboxes. I think that the version which shipped with 10.2.8 did, too.
MSOE keeps its mail in the Microsoft User Data folder, typically either in the Documents folder or at the root level of your hard drive. If you tell Mail to search for mail form MSOE, it will try to find it in a Microsoft User Data folder. If you've moved your mail, tell Mail where you moved it to.

Do I need to backup my files when upgrading from tiger to leopard?

Not sure if I need to backup all my files before upgrading from Tiger to Leopard (to use a Mac Box Set), have bought a Seagate 1TB FreeAgent GoFlex Home hard drive to back up on. Was told I wouldn't need a WiFi router but have now discovered I would need a dual Ethernet port to be connected to the internet and the hard drive which my Mac mini only has access for one, either the internet or the hard drive. So I ask do I really need to back up before upgrading? or can you get dual Ethernet ports?

Only if your data has any value to you.
If everything works perfectly, you should lose nothing.
If anything goes wrong, it is possible to lose data.
Personally I don't want to trust my data to everything working perfectly so I back it up.
As to the question of dual ethernet ports, you don't need them actually. If you create a LAN with a router then the multiple ports on your router will allow you to connect to both the internet and disk at once.

How do I transfer all files and apps from old iPad to new iPad?

How do I transfer everything from iPad1 to iPad3?

You can backup your current iPad, and then restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (if you don't have the apps on your computer then you can either copy them over from the current iPad via File > Transfer Purchases or you can re-download them for free).
The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad - they only get restored onto the same device.

How can I transfer my files and documents from external hard drive to my new MacBook Air?

I recently bought a new MacBook Air and I would like to transfer my files and documents which I already saved in my external hard drive to this new mac. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do it so far. I tried to drag some files but the rest of the documents cant be transferred.
I appreciate it if anyone could help me in thsi regard.

Describe exactly what you did when it failed and the error message you received that told you it failed. Dragging and dropping files from one drive to another will work. Having said that however, you need to be aware that trying to copy items with the same name will result in a warning dialog box offering several different options including canceling.
To better help you it would also be helpful to know about the external drive. Did you use TimeMachine to back up to that external drive? Did you copy files from another computer to the drive?

How do I transfer video files via bluetooth from N...

I am new to Bluetooth and this forum. So far I've managed to send photos to my pc OK but having problems with video. The file appears to send OK but then I cannot play it back, seems to be an unrecognised format or something. Any suggestions?

Just guessing as I've not done this yet but; install iCloud 4.0 on your Windows PC, drag your video to your Photo stream folder, after a disturbing amount of time it will appear on your iPad and be accessible from the iMovie media icon (or share it wth iMovie from your Share icon).
Provisos would be; the movie needs to be in .MP4 format (why would it be anything else?), you need to be logged in to iCloud with the same AppleID on each device.
Let me know how you go as I know I'm going to be called on to do this soon.

How do you transfer Excel file into iCloud from PC?

I have an Excel file on my PC and want to be able to retrieve it on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4. I've tried dragging the file from the desktop on my PC into the iCloud screen on my PC, but I don't see where it is on my Mac or iPhone.
Thanks for the assistance.

igmackenzie,
Sorry for not replying sooner. I've been "unplugged" from my personal emails.
Ok, got the iOS explanation.
I understand now. I've installed Numbers on both my MacBook and iPhone...and have tunred on Numbers on my iPhone.
I have another problem. Since I've linked my Yahoo! calendar to iCloud, I cannot retrieve any of my Yahoo! items on my iPhone. It worked fine before. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I lost my saved email file when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. How can I get it back?, I lost my saved email file when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. How can I get it back?

I lost my saved email file when I ugraded to Mountain Lion today. How can I get it back?? It has email messages dating back several years.

do you have a time machine backup or any other device that contains the emails you are now missing?
if so you can get them back that way. otherwise there isn't a way to retrieve them from the mac if they are nowhere on the HD.
also check on the email website to see if the messages are still there as well.

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title. The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly. I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over. I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear. It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!
