How do you copy messages from one Mac to another?

Scenario:
I have one Mac with 7 Mail accounts with messages up until February 2012 (plus the last few days). I have another Mac with 8 accounts (the 7 plus one other) and messages between February 2012 and now.
How do I get the messages from the second Mac to the first Mac so that the first Mac's Mail doesn't have a big gap?
This is probably an easy question for people who understand Mail inside out, but not so easy for those who don't!

No, I think you may have misunderstood what I want to do. I know I can move messages between accounts (or even between Inbox and Sent) - that's very easy to do once Mail is set up.
What I want is to merge messages between the SAME accounts on TWO DIFFERENT computers. One Mac has messages up until February 2012, and then again from a few days ago. The other Mac has messages from February 2012 up until the present. I just want to bring the messages from the past year or more onto the one Mac, so they are all together and I can put the second Mac away into storage. Mail is the only thing holding me up.
Is there something I can do with "Archiving" mail from the second Mac, onto a flash drive, then reading the flash drive into Mail on the other Mac? Why, oh why, can't I just 'drag and drop'?

How do you copy automation from one track to another?

How do you copy automation from one track to another? Occassionally I mistakenly blow away a track's automation. I open up an earlier version of the song to try to get the automation. It doesn't seem that you can copy and paste the data. After some struggle, I find a way. Is there an easy way?

1. Copy the track containing the desired automation to another track. (create a track below it to keep things organized)
2. Double click on the region and delete the notes.
3. Now copy the region to the desired track.
P.S. Of course when Logic asks if you want to copy the automation data you say yes)

How can you copy properities from one object to another?

If you create a number of boxes and then decided to change the color of all of them (or add a stroke, shadow, etc), is there a way to copy your style from one to the others? In Photoshop you can copy layer styles, so you don't have to re-do everything for every layer you want the styles to be on. How is this done in InDesign (CS3)?
Thanks.

From the object styles panel. Click on the object, define style (new object style), click on the next object, apply that new style. Even quicker than copy/paste. Then, if you make a change to the style, all objects are updated. Just want to do one? Alter the object itself (and create a new style while you're at it ).

How do you move iPhoto from one Mac to another

I recently purchased the new Macbook Pro two weeks ago. I have iPhoto 11 on my old Mac (OS Lion, also). I imported them, but I am wondering if there's any way to do this and maintain my "events folders?" I have 10 years of photos, and they all moved over, but there is no organization. Is there a way to move them over (I did this from an external hard drive) and maintain the same "events folders" that they are organized in? I had them organized by month and year. (Example - 2012 - March, 2012 - Feb).

You want to move the Library:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

How do I copy text from one layer to another?

I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
OK, so I have a layer that has some text in it. I would like to be able to simply copy that text from one layer to another, but this seems to be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard. I can paste it into the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
This is how I am trying to do this.
In the layer with the text, click on the "T" icon to the left.
Click on the text, in the layer that I want to copy.
I select the text (either by clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
Next I press Command-C.
Then I click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to paste the text.
Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
WHY??????
Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text from one layer to another?

First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer. But that will create a new Text Lay
er identical to the one you have.
To answer your question in your case.... Create the Text Layer. Make a New Layer. Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
Edit>Copy.
Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

How do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

how do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

You cannot copy content directly from one iPod to another. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you have the following options:
- sync the iPod to your computer, transfer the content to iTunes, and then connect the other iPod and sync from iTunes
- use iCloud (which requires iOS 5).
- download the music from from the iTunes Store to the second iPod. See:

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.
