How to extract vcards from another Mac via FireWire

Hello all,
The screen on my wife's G3 800MHz iBook running Tiger finally burned out and I've been forced to manually transfer all of her files onto our emergency backup clamshell 466 MHz iBook SE (yeah, yeah, I know it's time to start thinking about upgrades, not downgrades).
The only problem I've encountered so far is that I can't find her address book entries. I've tried looking for individual vCards to drag over with no luck. Should I be looking for a .plist file, and if so where can I find it? I've searched through both root and user libraries as well as the Address Book application's contents.
Thanks in advance!
Jason

the address book data is kept in the following directory:
/users/username/library/application support/address book.
you want to copy the whole thing.

    Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025

    I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
    It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA.

  • How to extract data from BPC InfoCube via ABAP program?

    Hi experts!!
    I tried to extract data from a BPC InfoCube via ABAP program, but I did'n have succeed.
    I used the function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ' to extract data from standard InfoCubes such as '0COPC_C07' and it run OK! However, when I change the InfoCube name to '/CPMB/WAIX8NE' (BPC InfoCube), everything goes wrong...
    Is there any difference between extracting data from BPC and standard InfoCubes?
    Thank you all!

  • How to access files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I would like to access and copy some files from my PowerMac to my Mac mini. I am using a Firewire cable to connect the two computers, and I get the Firewire symbol floating around on my monitor, but nothing beyond that, and I don't know what the next step is to get to the desktop. Help?
    (I also posted this question as part of an already "answered" post by another user... sorry for posting this twice.)

    Hi BDAqua,
    Sorry I dropped this thread last month; I would still love to figure this out, but haven't had time to deal with it since then. (In the meantime, I copied the files from the old computer - G3 - to CDs, in order to access them on the computer I use now - Mini/OS Tiger.) Anyway, so I'm writing to say thanks, and hopefully I will pick this thread up again soon... and hope you'll be around to help at that point.
    (By the way, the floating firewire icon was the only thing that came up on the monitor, and nothing I did brought me to the desktop: no key, click or prayer did anything to move beyond that floating icon. So, I couldn't get an orange FW icon, or any HD icon at all, since there was only the floating icon, and nothing else...)
    Thanks again.

  • How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

    Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
    This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

  • How to transfer Signatures from one Mac to another

    In Mail, if I go to Preferences > Signatures, I see in the left column *All Signatures*, and signatures for various accounts.
    How would I transfer the signatures in *All Signatures* from one Mac to another?
    The names of files in the folder ~/Library/Mail/Signatures are all cryptic.
    Moreover, since each signature is tied to a certain account, I don't think that I can just copy these files into the Signature folder of the 2nd Mac.

    Simply moving these cryptic files did not work, in the sense that these signatures did not show up in the right-most column of the Signatures pane.
    I made sure that I did not move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder.
    So, would someone please share with me how to transfer signatures from one Mac to another, with both running Mail?

  • How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

    How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

    You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • My new iMac hung up during Transferring from another Mac. How do I restart it?

    My new iMac with fusion drive hung up during transfer from another Mac.  How do I restart it?

    I'm afraid you'll have to power down both, then...
    For the 2 macs...
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • How to export a photo album from my iphone that was previously imported from another mac?

    Again, I'd like to export a photo album from my iphone to my mac. What is unique here is that the album was originally imported from another mac to my iphone. When I open iphoto on my mac it will import everything else but this particular album. It's from my old iphone that crashed but I was lucky enough to export the pics from my old phone to another mac and then import them to my new iphone. Great as that is, I'd still like to export them to my mac. HELP, thoughts, ideas

    Sync it to your new computer.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

    Hello Debadrita,
    Function Module BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 or BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL can help you.
    For BAPI BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL, the parameters are:
    1) PLANNINGBOOK - the name of your planning book
    2) DATA_VIEW - name of your data view
    3) KEY_FIGURE_SELECTION - list of key figures you want to read
    4)  SELECTION - selection parameters which describe the attributes of the data you want to read (e.g. the category or brand). This is basically a list of characteristics and characteristic values.
    BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 is very similar to BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAI but is only available from SCM 4.1 onwards.
    For the complete list of parameters, you can go to transaction SE37, enter the function module names above and check out the documentation.
    Please post again if you have questions.
    Hope this helps.

  • I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection.

    I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection to an external drive so that I don't lose the file before reinstalling the software but I keep on getting a message:
    "Restore Failure
    Source volume is read-write and cannot be unmounted, so it can't be block copied."
    Any advice on how to make a copy of this internal drive?
    Thanks!
    ....also the internal hard drive i am trying to copying run on a mac os x 10.5 and i'm reinstalling the software because the computer is not starting and only shows a grey folder with a question marks inside.

    I've had my Maxtor external OneTouch 250GB for about 18 months now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have hear of people having their Maxtor drive just up and die but you will probably find that goes for all manufacturers.
    By the way, Maxtor is, amongst others, an OEM supplier to Apple.
