How do I transfer old emails to new macbook

I'm trying to transfer my emails from my old macbook (os x 10.5.8, mail 3.6) to my new macbook (os x 10.8.2, mail 6.2 ). I copied my mailboxes from the library on my old computer to the library on the new one. The emails are there when I look them up using the Finder, but they don't show up when I open mail. What am I missing?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need take care when connecting back to your new computer and an empty iTunes. When you get the a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Changing to manual update will also enable your iPod for disk use and you need this option on to use Yamipod. Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

The only way to do that is to Purchase it from the Mac App Store.

In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.
PS:
Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

How do i transfer itunes to my new macbook pro

I have just received a new macbook pro (Merry Christmas) and am trying to figure out how to transfer my music from my iPhone to the MBP.

You can copy only your User folder using Migration Assistant.
This will bring over all your user data (emails, application settings, bookmarks, Music, Movies, Documents, etc.)
Copying the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder will copy the entire iTunes library.
This is done when using Migration Assistantl to copy your user folder.

How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
thanks
Joe

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How do i transfer nano playlist to new macbook air

old nano, new macbook and playlist/music wont sync

If both versions of iPhoto will be the same, this is the easiest way as sig has said. There is also an export feature. I use the export feature to save separate copies of my library as regular files (not within the iPhoto library).
You could also export, then save to a folder (using events as sub-folders). Then drop those into your new iPhoto library and it would put them back in their proper place. However, you could lose some META data that way, but in my experience I've not lost anything significant, really only the key photo has to be set again. I had a very out of control iPhoto library once, and this saved me a bunch of space.
Also, there is an app JPEGmini which I used to save a bunch of GBs of data. I exported, ran them through this app, which can reduce file size by as much as 40-50% while still retaining image quality. I had to try it to believe it, but it was amazing. Then I put them back in iPhoto and now my library is fast.
But simply moving the library will work. Just make sure both versions of iPhoto are the same, then you don't have to upgrade the library where things can happen.

How can I transfer old emails from my ipad to my new i mac

I have just purchased a new IMac and am trying to get my pop account emails from my ipad into mail on the new imac, does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks for that. I'm always a bit concerned about losing data from one to the other, I have no way to back up emails on I pad. If I sync will it take all emails that aren't on the computer and transfer them. I was under the impression that it would only sync email account details.

How do I transfer Aperture to my new macbook pro?

Hi, I've just bought a powerbook pro (no optical drive) and I have aperture 3 on cd which I've installed on my iMac. How do I get Aperture 3 on my new powerbook?
Thanks

It is safer to install Pro Applications like Aperture by running the installer than migrating them.
Just for completeness's sake two more options:
You can also download the Aperture Trial installer - it will install the same version you are having on CD - download from here: Aperture 3.1 Trial
Then update it immediately from the Apple  menu> Software update, launch it, and enter your serial number(s). Don't try to launch Aperture on your libraries, before you have run software update.
Or, use Disk Utility to create a Disk Image from your CD and copy this to a thumbsdrive. Then open the disk image on your new Mac and run the installer.
Just in case, that you get an error message "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X" don't worry, some of the older installer DVDs give his error message, because a developer certificate expired. This easily solved by resetting the date before installing to a date before February 2012, see the thread below.
