How do you transfer ical data and address book from a mac back up to an ipad?

I have a HD back-up from my mom's dead imac g5.
I am sending her an iPad, and would LOVE to have here Address Book and iCal data so she has that all set up.

If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to.

    Many thanks for this. This was very useful and a good starting point. I'm a very recently converted and proud new owner of one of the 20", 2GHz Intel Core Duo Imacs, and am in the process of converting all of my important files and data over from my home PC to my Mac.
    So far all has gone well; sorting out my ITunes and Digital Photos was easy as pie, as was my documents, however my last hurdle to overcome is trying to transfer my emails from MS Outlook on my Home PC to my Mac Mail. I have tried your Thunderbird suggestion which seems to have me on the right track, but the outcome was that only 1 of the 130 emails in my Outlook Inbox were imported. I've also tried using installing Eudora on my Home PC and importing all my Outlook email to that, however each time I try that Eudora ends up crashing leaving me back at square one.
    I will keep searching this discussion forum for other ideas, but in the meantime if you have any other helpful suggestion I'd be grateful!
    Cheers,

  • How do you transfer Several files and numerous photos from one Mac to another.

    I have a Mac Book Pro (late 2011) and a Mac Air (2013).   I know I can airdrop but I would be doing that for days - is there any way to transfer file from one computer to another.

  • Importing iCal events and Address book from Time Machine

    How does one import only iCal events and Address book items from a backedup version of Lion using Time Machine for a backup residing on an external HDD?

    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/entouragemigration.html
    Note, you will have to launch Entourage to get the data out into a format that Mail and Addressbook and iCal can then import.

  • How doI /can I transfer my favorites and address book from AOL to Firefox

    I previously used AOL as my browser & had several sites identified as "favorites", making it simple to bring them up.
    I also had my own address book with several groupings.
    I would like to transfer both these to Firefox/Mozi;lla/gmail if possible.
    Is this possible & if so how & how do I then access them?

    Paul,
    I just transferred my iCal info over to my Mac Mini and everything works fine there also.
    So far, I think the only thing that may not transfer so well is AppleWorks.
    If anyone hasn't already noticed, AppleWorks is not included with the new Intel Macs. Maybe Apple is trying to push Pages and iWorks, I don't know.
    I haven't tried to transfer AppleWorks over as I don't intend to use it on the Mac Mini Intel anyway. Maybe I will try it when I get a chance.
    The only software that I have upgraded so far is EvoCam. The old version for PPC worked OK on the Mac Mini but was acting goofy. With the new version which is universal, the program is acting normal again.

  • How do I import my email and address book from Netscape mail 7.1?

    I've been using Netscape Mail 7.1 since it first came out, but I'm moving to the Apple Mac world and need to keep my old emails. I've been told by the Apple Genius Bar people that I could do this with Thunderbird.

    In the absence of anything to the contrary I will assume a US version http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/3.1.20/win32/en-US/
    Thunderbird 3.1 is linked. stable and has the necessary bits.

    No you can sync them over a local network or USB cable, you just can't do so by iCloud.
    The other option would be to sync your mobile devices with iCloud and use the contacts feature at iCloud.com rather than the Address Book when using the computer.

    You can move your iTunes music Library folder to external media from the G5 to the Mavericks machine and point a modern version of iTunes at it.
    I don't know what you'll have to do with your Contacts, however.

    Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
    can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
    you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
    AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
    Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.
