How do I transfer On My Mac emails from a Macbook Pro to Macbook Air

I am trying to take my "on my mac" emails from the mail app on my current macbook pro and transfer them to my brand new macbook air.

Is there some reason why you don't want to transfer all data to the new computer?

HT1941 how do i remote control my mac mini from my macbook air

I want to control my iTunes library from my mac air. How do I setup the remote control to accomplish this?

1. Use the Remote App on iDevices. There are third-party apps also available.
2. Use Screen Sharing on the MBAir.
3. More elaborate solutions using the IR Remote and IR Blasters are also possible.
4. AirParrot and Beamer may also provide some capabilities.
5. AirPlay requires ATV and a Mac.

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing?
I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production. It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini. Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air.
My two problems:
1. I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing. What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
2. The less lag the better for screen sharing. Which apps are fastest?
Thanks in advance.

Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

How do I access Mountain Lion OS Server from my Macbook Air?

Have successfully installed the software and set up storage. How do I access the network from my Macbook Air? Thanks much in advance!

What OS X Server services do you have enabled (i.e. File Sharing, FTP, Time Machine, VPN, etc.)?
Did you enable Screen Sharing on your server from within System Preferences/Sharing? Screen Sharing will allow you to remotely administer your Mac Mini server from your MBA while on your LAN.

How do I upgrade/update my iPhone 5 from my MacBook Air with limited space/storage

Hi There!
I am desperately trying to update my iPhone from my MacBook Air. But before I do so, I am trying to back up my iPhone. Every time I connect my iPhone to my laptop and hit 'manually back up', it stops with the following message:
"iTunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer."
I have a 60G laptop. I have deleted everything I had stored on this laptop (which was not much to begin with).
I then tried checking out my MacBook Air usage/storage by clicking Launchpad and going into 'System Information' then clicking on storage. It then showed me the following:
Volume Name: Macintosh HD
Capacity: 59.81GB
Available: 1.55GB
What i'm struggling to understand is what is taking up so much room/storage on my laptop? I barely use it and I save practically everything onto my hard drive.
Can anyone shed some light?
Kind Regards,
TeeStrang

Try a few things: 1) restart in safe mode (restart holding the shift key) and this will repair the drive (if need be) and trim/delete cache files. Restart normally.
2) if you use iPhoto or Aperture launch the program and then empty the trash folder of the program(s). Launch your Mail program and check out how much is in the Trash and Archive folders. You can delete the really old stuff if there is any.
3) Download omniDiskSweeper (free) to see what's on your drive. Be careful about deleting anything that isn't in your personal drive space and be very careful about deleting anything in the Library folder.

How do I transfer some folders of photo from one macbook to another? I do not want the complete library right now

How do I transfer some photos from an external harddrive (with backup data from one macbook) to another macbook? Ideally, I'd also like to transfer albums as well that photos are linked to. I need to do this because my macbook is broken and I need to work on photos for the holidays. I'm not interested in transferring the full library necessarily at this time..but if that is the easiest thing to do let me know. There are already some photos in the "new" computer's iphoto.

Thank you very much Terence for your input. I successfully transferred the library and attempted to open it on my "new" mac. However, unfortunately, I discovered the OS and iphoto have not been updated for some time so it couldn't open..argh.
My photos were in a 9.4.3 version of iPhoto, so it looks like to get that on this new computer I have to upgrade to snow leopard and then to Lion (not wanting to go all the way up in OS necessarily if it will slow my computer down more). However, is there a way to open a version 9.4.3 library on an iPhoto app from snow leopard?

How do I transfer a downloaded offline website from my macbook pro to an ipad2?

I want my sales team to use an ipad2 to sell and present our products. I have a website built that fully works offline which is our catalog.
Now I want to transfer that website from my macbook pro onto a 'master ipad' so I can then sync up the other ipads with the 'master ipad'.
How do I transfer the site to the ipad?

Have you tried resetting the iPhone and rebooting the Mac? I don't think iPhoto has an import size limitation, but if you still have trouble then perhaps using a cloud service like Dropbox as an intermediary will get the job done.

How do I transfer my Quicken 2004 data from old MacBook to new Imac with Mountain Lion

I want to transfer my Quicken 2004 (upgraded to 2006) data from MacBook running OSX 10.5.8 to new Imac running Mountain Lion with Quicken 2007 Lion. How do I do this? I thought from what I've read on line that all I needed to do was upgrade the quicken to 2006 and then the data would be readable by Quicken 2007 Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK: This information is VERY helpful! Note my comments below:

Here is what I'm doing step by step:
Open Quicken 2006 (it did automatically convert the Quicken 2004 data) -- GOOD!
Do not do these steps
I went to File> Export> All
Named the file "Copy of Quicken Data.qif" and saved it to the desktop of my MacBook.
At this point if I send the file as is it would not open on the other end saying that Power PC apps are not supported.
I discovered that if I go to File> Get Info in the Finder window before I send it and change the setting "Open with" from "Preview" to "Quicken 2006", that the file would be recognized by the new computer.
Compress the converted Quicken 2006 data file by Control-Clicking on the converted Quicken 2006 data file and it should save with a .zip extension.
Send the automatically converted and compressed Quicken 2006 data file with the zip extension I send it to myself via email as an attachment, I save the attachment to the desktop of the Imac. Uncompress it by double-clicking it.
I open Quicken 2007 Lion
Go to File>Open File... Import>From QIF
Select the converted and uncompressed Quicken 2006 data file attachment that you saved to the desktop of the iMac and then uncompressed. "Copy of Quicken Data.qif"
It begins to download, then I get a warning
"Quicken is unable to import "Copy of Quicken Data.qif" becasue the transaction displayed below is too large... it goes on to say that there is possibly too much text in the split line detail etc.
It should open in Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion
Thanks for your time, any insights would be much appreciated.

How do i transfer windows formatted 2005 iPod to my macbook air?

How do i transfer my old Windows formatted iPod (2005 model: 60GB video iPod model no. A1136) to my new MacBook Air (OS X 10.10)? I don't have a PC anymore to transfer to first. My Mac doesn't even recognize that there is a device when I plug it into the USB. I tried iCopyBot App, but it also seems to be looking for a Apple formatted iPod.

You can use a third party application: http://imazing.com
iMazing will recognize the iPod and you can copy / transfer the audio / movies to the Mac.

How do I transfer an App store purchase from my MacBook to my iPad-WITHOUT an Internet connection?

I live on a boat in an anchorage. My iPad won't connect to the wifi in the anchorage; my MacBook Pro, with an external radio, will make the connection (sometimes). I want to purchase a couple of apps from the App Store and download them to my computer. I won't be able to connect the iPad to the Internet--ever--but I can of course connect it via USB to the MacBook Pro. Can I
- purchase the apps from the App store
- download the apps to my MacBook Pro
- disconnect the MacBook from the Internet (it costs about $1 per minute for my connection)
- sync the iPad to the MacBook
- transfer the newly purchased apps from the computer to the iPad
Just a reminder--I _can't_ connect the iPad, ever, to the Internet. The signal just won't reach that far. I don't want to take either the computer or the iPad on a (wet) dinghy ride to try to get close enough to the wifi hotspot for the iPad to connect (maybe). Both the iPad and the MacBook Pro are registered to the same ITunes account, but there isn't any way to connect the iPad to iTunes central for their servers to confirm this--only the MacBook Pro can be connected.
I also don't want to erase any info on the iPad--I have waypoints, navigation info, documents, etc., stored in various apps. Do I have to sync first to avoid losing this data? (Hope it's not cloudy tomorrow and those solar panels will be pulling some amps!)
Thanks,
Sue
PS--I have OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1 on the MacBook; iOS 6.0.1 on the iPad.

Yes, you should be able to buy/download apps from the iTunes app store on your Mac and then sync them to the iPad - neither the iPad nor the Mac should need to be connected to the internet to sync the apps over to the iPad
If the iPad hasn't been synced to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How do I transfer an iPhoto (11) book from a MacBook Pro to a MacPro?

I completed a book on my MBPro and ordered it. However, I prefer working on my MacPro. How can I transfer the book to my MacPro so I can work there? I want all parameters transferred (colors, text, etc.) Thanks in advance.

If you don't want to transfer the entire library to the MacPro this tutorial might be of some help: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. This will create a library with just the book and it's current photos which will be smaller and easier to transfer. Then you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move any new photos necessary between your other libraries and the book library.
This also makes it convenient to burn the book library via the Finder to a disc for archiving and use at a later date if another copy is desired.

How do I transfer files through time machine from old macbook to new macbook pro?

I have Lion on my old macbook and I have saved all my info through time machine. How do I transfer my files to my new macbook pro?

If you want to restore all you old machine to your new MacBookPro, simply restart you computer in Recovery mode (Hold option key while restarting), select restore from Time Machine Backup, and select the latest or whatever date you like.
On the other hand if you want your new MacBook to use your old TM back, just inherit that backup using the following command in Terminal:
tmutil inheritbackup {machine_directory | sparsebundle}
You will find detailed instructions for inherit backups here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
