How do i transfer my old Apple Mail to a new iMac

I have a new iMac running OS 10.10.1 and Apple Mail 8.1 and an old Mac Pro running OS 10.7.5 and Apple Mail 5.3.  I have a LOT of unwanted apps and other material on my MacPro which I don't want to transfer so I can't use migration methods that just transfer everything. So, I am generally struggling to transfer applications and files but particularlyy Apple Mail.  I have lots of saved mail in folders (stored, I believe, locally on my Mac) which I DO wish to keep.
So, the questions are:
     1.  what is the best way to transfer a large and complex Apple Mail set of files?
and
     2.  Is there a tool to there that enables me to selectively transfer files between Macs?
Grateful for any suggestions/advice.

Just sync or Back Up the iPhone, you do not need to Update Firmware or Restore Firmware. Just sync or Back Up.
Then sync or restore the Back Uo to the new iPhone. You do not have to Update Firmware or Restore Firmware. Just sync or restore from the Back Up. Do not Restore the Firmware.

  • How can I transfer my old Apple ID purchases into new one?

    Dear All,
    Recently I decided to change my email address for some security reasons. Now I need to change my apple ID but there is a problem:
    I have purchased a lot of things by my ID  ( OSX as well as iTunes) and really don't want to pay for them again.
    Here is the question: How can I transfer all those purchases to the new ID and how can I close ( deactivate) that old Apple ID ?
    Thanks

    You can't. Apple will not merge IDs and Apple will not move content from one ID to another.
    There is no need for a new ID, just change the primary email address in the current ID and change your password if you are concerned about security.

  • My iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    my iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Only the Apple ID used to buy an app can update an app. Apple does not merge Apple IDs and Apple does not transfer content biught with one ID to another ID.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

    How do I change my old Apple ID to my new Apple ID for the iCloud?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open System Preferences > iCloud, and turn off each service individually if you don't want to lose contacts, calendars, notes and reminders. If you don't want to be kept, just select Sign Out.
    Then, you will be able to log in with a new Apple ID, so do it and follow the steps

  • I have an older generation of Ipod and I am trying to upload all my songs from my old Ipod to my new Itunes account. How can I change my old Apple ID to my new one so I can keep all my songs without having to buy or hunt for them all over again?

    Please help I am having the hardest time trying to get all my songs on to one account to make my life easier, but my Ipod is registered under an old apple account and I want to change it so all my old songs go onto my new apple ID. Any suggestions, please help?

    Sorry meffie, you cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. Are the songs under the old ID all purchased via iTunes?
    If so, then sign onto the iTunes on the computer with your old ID and Authorize the computer for that Apple ID: Store on the top menu, then click on Authorize This Computer.
    Once it is Authorized, you can then go to the iTunes Store and under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased. Then click on Music, Songs, Not In this Library, and you should be able to see all of your purchased music, which you can download to your iTunes library individually by clicking on the cloud next to the song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of the tunes.

  • How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro?  I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

    I have a new McBook Pro with OS X Mavericks.  I transferred my photos from my old MacBook Pro to my Apple TV.  I turned on My Photo Stream on both my Apple TV and my new MacBook Pro, and I want to transfer my photos to my new MacBook.  Will this work?  It's not transferring them automatically, but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work.  Thank you!

    no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
    take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

  • How do I change my old apple ID to the new one/won't let me access

    I recently changed my apple ID. Everything I turn on my phone, it asks me to login into my apple ID but the old one keeps popping up instead of the new one. When I put in my passcode, it says that the ID or password is wrong...which is expected because my old apple ID still comes up...and it won't let me do anything on my iphone. I can't reset it, delete my account, or anything because the old apple ID still comes up. How can I change this. I have the iphone 4s by the way and it is updated to IOS 7, i don't know if that changes anything. Thanks.

    have you managed to resolve this problem as i have the same one?

  • HT201269 How can I transfer my old iTunes library to a new computer?

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to access the iTunes library from my old computer on it. I've tried Home Sharing but it doesn't allow me to transfer my old library to my new computer, it just allows me to listen to the songs from it. I'd like to be able to sync my iPhone with my current computer without the "Erase and Sync" message popping up. I've authorized my new computer to access my iPhone and I don't understand why I'm not allowed to transfer my old library to my new computer.

    Have you tried the Migration Assistant that came with your new MBP?

  • HT204053 how do i change the old apple id to my new id on my ipod touch so i can download new apps?

    can anyone help me change my apple id to my new one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • I'm thinking of  buying one of the new Imacs and am presently a PC user - how hard is it or how can I transfer files from my PC to a new IMac

    I am thinking about purchasing a new IMac and presently use a PC.  I would like to find out how difficult it is to transfer files from the PC to the IMac or in more detail - just how is it done.  Many thanks for any responses.

    There are several ways by which it can be done. There is a special Migration Assistant for transferring an entire user account from a PC to the Mac. You would have to establish a network connection between the two machines.
    Transfer the files you want to an external USB hard drive from the PC then transfer from the external drive to the Mac.
    Ask the Apple retailer if they will transfer your data to the new Mac at the time of purchase. You will need to bring the PC with you.
