How do I transfer Mail Message Rules between Macs?

How do I transfer Mail Message rules from an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 to an iMac running OS X 10.8.5? The names of the plist files don't match.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to *create a new admin account* in the System Preferences/Accounts Pref Pane. Once the new admin account *(make sure the Allow user to administer this computer is checked in the new account)* is set up and performing like it should (by logging into it and verifying that you can actually administer the computer), change your primary account (the account that owns your emails) to a standard account by un-checking the *Allow user to administer this computer* in the Accounts Pref Pane. You can still administer the computer with your standard account, you will have to provide your admin login and password in the Authentication dialog boxes.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I transfer mail my account from Mac to PC ?

    I have a pc with Windows Vista and Office 2007 including Outlook. I need to transfer all my mails from the Macbook to the pc, plus photos, documents etc. Any suggestions please ?

    Connect both computers to your home network and use Apple's migration assistant to transfer your data. If your email accounts are IMAP no transfering should be necessary since the mail will be on the mail server. Otherwise I'll let other pop in to help with that issue. I'm not an expert on PC to Mac email & Outlook.

  • How do i transfer text messages to my mac

    I'm just wondering if there is a way to somehow get my text messages from my iPhone 5 into a document that I can then print off for my residency application?
    I've found lots of programs you can download for free, and then you can only view the messages by paying.
    Tell me there's a way to print off MY messages and MY conversations without having to fork out money, or screen shot a million pages to fit them all in?
    HELP!!!
    Thanks

    I'm not a Mac user, so I could not tell you. You are talking about a lot of messages and the iPhone is not really designed for that. That is why it takes a 3rd party application to handle that. Maybe someone that is a Mac user might be familiar with that, but most everything I've read here over the years when it came to printing text messages requires a 3rd party. I've used Touchcopy, it works for both the Mac and PC. It costs a little and is installed right on the computer, but it also does a lot more than just texts. It will handle voicemail copies and also some things with your music library. It is from WideAngle software.

  • Mail/Message Overlap between Mac Mini and Macbook Sharing Home Network

    Somehow e-mails that I am writing on my mac mini from my g-mail account are showing up on my wife's macbook air as if they were being sent from her work account. On the left of the dock I can see the mail icon with what looks like an Airplay symbol imposed on it. Something similar happens when she uses iMessage from the macbook, although both of these issues only started today. We share an Apple ID but do not have Back to My Mac enabled. Any ideas?

    That's Handoff. At least one of you should sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and sign in with a different ID.

  • How can i transfer the xml files between different systems?

    hello
    the appearance of xml enable the inter-communication between differences systems.but
    i don't know how,such as following scinario:
    in the client side,we use the console that is written by using c#,if i finish
    filling the text boxes that are within the console,click the submit button,the
    console will generate a xml format document.i want the other application that
    is written by using jsp and servlet and deployed in weblogic server to receive
    the xml document,then process the document.
    but i don't know how i can transfer the xml files between the two applications
    that is written in different languages? can i use http protocol?
    thanks for any helps!

    Yes, you can use the HTTP protocol as a transport for the XML message, this
    is basically what the HTTP binding for SOAP does. The key is using a
    packaging mechanism that different applications will understand, otherwise
    only your own applications will know how to extract and process the XML
    messages you send between them.

  • I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

    I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
    (And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
    Thanks for all responses.

    The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
    Thx.

  • How can i transfer mails from iphone to outlook

    how can i transfer mails from iphone to outlook

    I misread your post.  You can't transfer items to iTunes without connection to your computer.  To transfer without synching, make sure you don't have your preferences in iTunes set to automatically synch.  Then when you connect your phone but before you synch, in iTunes File>Transfer purchases.  Note that only iTunes purchased media can be transferred this way.

  • I reformatted from lion back to snow leopard how do i get my music back i have it on my iphone and when i sync up i still do not have my music on my mac how do i transfer it back to my mac

    Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
    You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
    Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
    Good luck

  • How do I transfer Notes from my Outlook Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6)? I am using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
    Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.
    Jesal

    Finally figured it out...
    1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
    2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
    3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
    4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
    I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
    Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
    Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
    Anyways... problem solved for now...
    ciao...

  • How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

    How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

    You could email it to yourself or if you are talking about lots of photos:
    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device.

  • HT204382 how can I transfer wma files to my mac?

    how can I transfer wma files to my mac?

    A Macintosh Classic (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198) has a SCSI hard drive. Even though the hard drive can be removed and placed in an external SCSI enclosure, it is not going to be easy to find a way of connecting it to a modern Mac. That would normally require a USB-to-SCSI adapter, which may or may not be supported under the latest operating system versions.
    The easiest method of transferring files from a Macintosh Classic may be via an external USB floppy drive connected to the modern Mac. 1.44 MB Mac-formatted floppy disks can be used for such transfers (not 800K).
    A SCSI Zip (100) drive could in principle be connected to the SCSI port of the Macintosh Classic. The Zip disk could then be moved to a USB Zip (100) drive connected to a modern computer.
    The Macintosh Classic does not have built-in Ethernet, nor a slot for an Ethernet card (certain other "classic" Macintosh computers do have the ability to hold an Ethernet card). There are some external solutions (such as SCSI-to-Ethernet adapters), but with limitations. For a networking overview, the http://www.applefool.com/se30/ web page could perhaps be of interest.
    It is also possible to arrange a null-modem connection between a Macintosh Classic and a modern computer, providing that a USB-to-serial adapter is attached to the latter (appropriate terminal emulation programs are needed on both sides).

  • Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone?

    Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone? ie. I get an email on my iphone but I also read it and store it On My Mac folders.  Is there a way this can be set up 'same' on my iphone...then I would only need to read my mail one place? Same as my iPad...I'm tired of doing the same step 3 times ONLY because my folders are only on my MAC

    IMAP is a mail protocol. Your email provider must support it (most regular ISPs do not). If your mail provider supports IMAP then when you create an account on the iPhone choose "IMAP" when prompted. You cannot convert a POP3 account to IMAP; you must delete it and re-create it. But first check to see if your provider supports it. Microsoft Exchange works similarly to IMAP, but has the added feature of "pushing" mail to your phone within seconds of it being received.
    With IMAP and Exchange the master copy of all mail remains on the server until deleted. Your computer(s) and iPhone sync with the server, so all of your devices will show the same messages. When you delete from one the message will be removed from all with the next sync (or immediately for Exchange).
