How to import ical data from tiger to leopard

Hi, I want to transfer all my ical calendar info from my tiger imac to my new macbook with leopard. What file do I copy and transfer to my macbook? Can I just backup database on my tiger ical and imort that into leopard? In leopard, it says import and ical file, a vCal file or entourage. My backup database file says .icbu. Help appreciated.

If you have a .icbu file which was created with iCal 2.0.X, copy that file to your Leopard System and use (Control + Click) to "Show Package Contents."
Look for folders named something like 4A1DC586-14EC-4D42-B659-BEBA31968385.calendar in the Sources Folder of the iCal Backup file. There should be as many of these folders as you had calendars on the Leopard system, but they will have different alpha numeric names than the example which I just gave you.
Open these oddly named folders and you will find the corestorage.ics files containing your calendars.
Use iCal to import the corestorage files by using the iCal>File>Import... menu command to navigate to and import the appropriate corestorage.ics file for each of your calendars.

Correct method to import Mail folders from Tiger to Leopard?

Guys,
What is the correct method of exporting/importing mail folders/settings from Tiger to Leopard?
Thx

You're lucky--I can't even open Mail! The icon bounces in the Dock and then quits unexpectedly. (Ditto with iCal). Had horrible Keychain problems after installing Leopard (as an upgrade--I wasn't even given an "archive & install" option. My username and password were being rejected, and I couldn't even install the recommended Software Updates. Tech support guy (for whom I waited 30 min. and then spent an hour with) made things worse--the Unix code he had me type ended up invalidating my account. He then handed me off to a supervisor--for whom I had to wait another 45 min. After another hour, during which the supervisor had me create a new account and attempt to copy and paste the items (42,000) from my old User folder to the new one, he told me that when I was done (it took 2 more hrs) I should log out and log back in. I did and nothing happened--all my previous files and folders were still gone. But I could start Mail, although all it brought up was my mac.com account. So rather than reinitialize and reinstall Leopard, I restored my important files, folders and programs from the external drive to which I'd backed up my previous hard drive (OS 10.4.10)--including Mail and iCal. (I wanted to set up my RCN and Earthlink accounts too). But now I can't even access Mail AT ALL! What happened, and how can I just get a working version of Mail so that I can set it up from scratch? (I am now accessing my mail from an old iBook G4--and I don't want to travel with two computers).

How to import iCal data

from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Calendar in Mountain Lion 10.8.5?

Well, almost.
What I had to do was to save the iCal archive to the older MBP's (Snow Leopard — Mac OS X 10.6.8) hard drive, then open Calendar on the newer MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion — 10.8.5) and import the archive from there.
I actually prefer the appearance of iCal over Calendar, but guess that's the way it goes.

Data from Tiger to Leopard

So I just managed to install Leopard on my MacBook. It required erasing everything first, so I backed up all of my documents and Tiger apps on my 500 GB Lacie Drive. Now I'm wondering what to keep. Some things are obsolete (they come with Leopard or are combined in an application on Leopard). I was surprised to find that my copy of Microsoft Office 2004 actually transferred but all of my documents are not formatted for word. I need to get them oriented with word again. I'm wondering what the best way to do this.
Some files also seemed to double or tripled themselves as well which kind of *****. My biggest general question is what i should keep to have everything I had (or the equivalent) with Tiger. I don't have the $ to buy the new iLife so I want to preserve as many applications from Tiger as possible.
The last issue is that I started with about 34 GB of space taken up on the Tiger HD. Now, after installing Leopard and the weird case of doubling backed up data, I have 58 GB of used space with Leopard and only 15 GB of free space. Any hints about how to trim this down would be dandy.
Sorry for the broadness of this post, but I have a lot to deal with as I try to rebuild my Mac and any info you can throw my way would be great. (This is the only support I can afford!)
Thanks!

I would not focus on keeping programs. Just reinstall those. I would keep my data:
safari bookmark file
mailboxes
address book file
music files
imove and idvd file
any office files you created in word, excel or powerpoint.

Can anyone tell me how to import current data from apps when I upgrade to a new phone?

Hi,
When activating my new iPhone 5S, after syncing my old 3GS to iTunes then immediately syncing the new phone, the data in some of my apps that was imported was very, very old. Examples are entries in Calengoo, entries in Due, and entries in Balance. In all of those apps, the information that was imported onto my new phone was from last fall, late September or early October. I resolved the issue with Calengoo and with Due, but not yet with Balance. Also, the podcasts that were imported onto my new phone were not the ones that are currently downloaded onto my old phone. I must be doing something wrong on the sync of the old phone (? or so I guess)?
If anyone can help me get it straight, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Jim. If I create a backup, can I use that to only import certain apps, or will that backup replace what's currently on my new phone? If that does happen, I figure I can sync the new phone to iTunes, use the backup created from the old phone to bring that info to the new phone, then use the sync I just made to bring back the information / apps I've since added to my new phone?
Thanks!
Chris

Transferring data from Tiger to Leopard

Am about to buy a new Mac Pro (with Leopard installed, of course).
Currently running a G5 with 10.4.11.
I intend to back everything up to at least two external drives.
Can I then simply drag my Mail, iPhoto and iTunes *data folders* from the old ~ hierarchy into the corresponding home folder locations in the Leopard one?
Simple question - I suspect with a simple answer, I know. But I'd welcome reassurance that I don't have to re-import several tens of thousands of mailboxes, (raw) photos and Audible files etc.
And that there's no disadvantage to simply moving the relevant folders onto my new Leopard machine.
Thanks!

Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)

Take care with third-party PPC only applications. You would be better off reinstalling them rather than migrating them as migrated PPC apps tend not to work. Avoid moving any third-party plug-ins, preference panes, startup items, login items, contextual menu items, etc. unless they are universal binaries. PPC only versions will not work on Intel Macs.

Transferring iCal data from SL to Calendar on Mountain Lion

Hi,
I'm having issues transferring my iCal data from my Snow Leopard account to my Calendar (Mountain Lion) on my laptop. Seems you can't just save it out as an archive and import it into Calendar any more. Same issue goes with the Address Book -> Contacts.
Can someone help? I looked at another thread but it seems no one has figured this out yet.

I am having the same problem. I was able to have my google calendars that were easily set up through the delegation option. Now, all the events have disappeared. When I go through the steps and add the other google calendars through delegation, they show up grey on the calendar side bar. Nothing happens when I refresh. The calendars were here one day and gone the next. Very strange.
I would very much like the delegation option to work. I see that there are work arounds involving adding each calendar, but that seems like a lot of work.

How to import the data to Data manager

Hi All,
I am new to MDM and need your help in handling the following issue
In our setup we are sending the Customer master data from R/3->XI->MDM (R/3-> XI IDOCs, XI->MDM XML files).
with the help of extraction job in R/3 IDOCs r generated and XI has onverted these IDOCs to XML Files and created at MDM Server. Now my Question is how to import the Data from these XML files to Data Manager !!!!
Note : Import Map settings are done already in the system.
Can any one help me the steps requeired to get this data to Data manager .
and am I need to do some activity in MDM to import the data to Data manager each and every time or is there any automatic way of doing this .
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance!

Hi MDM User,
Generally there are 2 cases while importing the data,
1) Initial Load
2) Delta Load
Initial Load means importing the data into MDM at first time.This is usually done by manual importing
without using import server.
Delta Load means importing the data into MDM when we have changes to existing data or added new data
to existing data.This is usually done by automatically using import server.
To manually import the data,just create a remote system and port in console and login into import manager
using remote system.Create ,save the map and execute the map.There is no other configurations needed.
To automatically import the data without manual intervention,we go for import server.
To let this happen we need to set some configuarations in mdis.ini file of import server.
Give the repository name,username and password which are set in console for that repository and also
give schedule time based on which import server picks the file from ready folder.
Go to the import manager , change the map and import action depends on your requriment and save that
map.
and also you need to set port type as inbound and automatic and select the map which you saved earlier in
MDM console.
As soon as we start the import server, it picks the file from ready folder of MDM server based on
configurations which we set in mdis.ini file and executes the map.
Here i am giving complete path of ready folder.
SAP MDM 5.5> Server>Distributions>bp1bocap080.bp.co_MSQL> BP3_PoC_Customer> Inbound>Siebel> SIEBEL_OB_CUS_SIEBELCUS01> Ready)
This path has to be given in target directory of receiver communication channel of XI so that it puts XML
file in the above path.
For better understanding,go through below blogs.

Mail: From Tiger to Leopard

I am upgrading my computer from Tiger to Leopard (via a clean install) and would like to transfer all of my Tiger Mail messages/attachments/addresses/etc. to the Mail on Leopard.
What's the simplest way to do so? Is there a way to export my messages and then important them into Leopard's Mail after the installation?
Thank you.

This depends on how you plan to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. If you literally use the Upgrade install option, then your mail will be imported automatically as soon as you open Mail for the first time.
If you are installing Leopard via Erase and Install then you can import your old mailboxes from your backups using Mail's import option. Open Mail, select Mail Help from the Help menu and search for "import" to get the instructions.
If you install Leopard using Archive and Install and use the option to preserve users and network preferences, then your old data will be transferred into the new Leopard installation. Mail will import the data when you open it for the first time.
The above also applies generally to Address Book and iCal data. You can also transfer the data manually from a backup:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac

How Do I Import Playlists From Tiger To Leopard?

OK, I give up. The following falls under the category “It Doesn’t Have To Be This Hard.”
I purchased a new iMac and went with the 24 inch Intel 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 10.5.5. Sweet.
With my previous iMac (G5 Rev A., 10.3.9), I had Tiger 10.4.11 installed on an external HD and used it for my iTunes collection. All was well.
Now, with Leopard on the new iMac, I’m stumped as to how I can import the playlists from Tiger’s iTunes. I’ve imported the music and podcasts, etc. from Tiger but the playlists are empty. I have them listed but all except one have no music in them.
So, my questions (after performing a thorough review of the forums and entering every search term I could think of related to this issue) are these:
1. How do I import playlists from Tiger to Leopard so that I get music and playlists?
2. Where are the playlists stored? I cannot find them using a Spotlight search ( using Leopard), nor are they listed in the iTunes music files. So, where does Tiger and/or Leopard keep them?
3. At least one playlist made it from Tiger to Leopard. Why did the other playlists arrive but w/o music in them?
4. Is the problem I have described a common one? If so, why is there no easy fix for it. Or perhaps there is an easy fix but I’m too blind to see it.
Anyone with answers is encouraged to reply. I’ll sign off as “flyboy01” but in reality I’m “Stumped!”
Thanks in advance,
flyboy01

Just so you know, the difference in the version of the operating system has no bearing here as you would have experienced the same issue going from account to account on the same computer because you performed an incomplete iTunes transfer. As you inquired about where playlists are located, I will give you a complete break down of iTunes database structure as well as the proper technique for transferring your library.
_*INSIDE iTUNES*_
*iTunes Components: The Library and the Database Table*
The term library gets thrown around quite a bit when people discuss iTunes, but what you see in iTunes denoted as your libraries (e.g., music, podcasts, TV shows, etc.) is actually just a reference to your actual media library. iTunes is essentially a database package, just like your local public library’s computer-based card catalog system; the difference is that the content is electronic and owned by the user so you can also directly access the content through iTunes instead of having to go and (physically) retrieve it. Your actual library is the collection of media files you have stored on your computer. If you think of it in terms of the real world, your media files are the virtual equivalent of the books, periodicals, microforms, etc., in a real library and the folder or volume in which those media files are contained is the library.
While iTunes will allow you to add media to its library (iTunes library interface) from anywhere on any volume attached to your computer (e.g., branch libraries), iTunes generally expects your library to reside in a single folder (main library). In iTunes that folder is referred to as your iTunes Music folder and by default it is a folder named iTunes Music contained in your iTunes folder (~/Music/iTunes). The music folder can have any name and be located anywhere on any attached volume as long as you inform iTunes of where it is located by changing the iTunes Music folder location in the Advanced tab of iTunes’ preferences.
How you organize music within your music folder is unimportant, but iTunes must know the location of the (root) music folder in order to properly access the media files contained within that directory. The reason for that is because once you have defined a music folder location, or leave the default, that location is where iTunes will automatically place any new content that you add to iTunes’ library. Keeping the location of the music library straight is most important to iTunes users, such as myself, that keep their actual library on a separate volume from the system volume where the iTunes folder is located.
When iTunes uses the term library, it is actually referring to its database table file. Properly designed databases, particularly those that are scalable and that allow records (database entries) to be found or visually organized via multiple keys (metadata), as iTunes does, consist of two basic parts: the database, or source data (records), and the index table(s). In iTunes your media files are the records. Along with the actual media content, those files also contain a number of tags that provide a range of information about that particular media file (e.g., artist, song title, movie title, album, year, etc.).
The database table is the iTunes Library file located in your iTunes folder. That file is actually what iTunes references the vast majority of the time when you are browsing your collection. The table contains metadata about all of the media files in your library and it is that metadata that is displayed in iTunes when you browse your library. When you play content or edit tags, then iTunes directly accesses the files in your library. The table also contains your playlists and playlist folders, so that is the reason that Spotlight would seem to not find them on your computer’s hard drive; Spotlight most likely did list ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’, as that file is an XML version of iTunes database table.
If you copy the iTunes Music Library.xml file to the desktop on your old computer and open it, you will see the basic structure of the table. The first group of entries are the definitions of your media files—the code between the <dict> and </dict> tags—and contain the metadata that is displayed in iTunes and by which you can search and group music in iTunes various views. The definitions also contain metadata defining the location of the media file, if the track is enabled (checked) or disabled (un-checked), the (iTunes) track ID, etc.
If you scroll toward the end of the XML file, you will see the definitions of your playlists and playlist folders as well as some occasional data blocks that look like gibberish. The latter is the text representation of the binary code that defines the criteria for smart playlists. On thing that you will notice about the playlist definitions is that they do not contain detailed track info or metadata for the songs contained within the playlist(s). iTunes is a relational database, so the playlists do not contain any actual data, but instead a list of indices (pointers), the Track IDs, to the definitions for each track you have in your playlists. The definitions listed in the first part of the XML file also contain only a subset of the tracks ID3 tags. The definitions only require metadata for information that is relevant to permitting you to browse and organize your library in iTunes’ interface. In the track definition, the Location metadata is an index and points to the actual media file where the complete set of ID3 tags, as well as the actual media content, reside.
While your media resides in your music folder, the library structure you create in iTunes is actually a simple, albeit long, table stored in a separate file. Another component of iTunes is the artwork database kept in the Album Artwork folder. The Album Artwork folder contains a complex folder tree structure with proprietary .itc files at the leaves. I do not know what the exact structure of the .itc files is, but they play a role in storing image info for the various graphic-based views in iTunes (e.g., CoverFlow). Also, any songs you purchase from the iTunes Store will have the cover art stored in the Album Artwork folder; images that you add manually are stored in the actual media files.
*Transferring Your Library to a New Computer*
Now you see that there is more to iTunes than just your media files. Thus, if you want the playlists that you spent time building to migrate with your music collection simply copying the music folder to the new computer is not going to result in what you want: a complete transfer of the library you dedicated time and energy into organizing. When you transfer music files to a new computer iTunes builds a new library around that content and the only playlists that will be present are the defaults tha come with iTunes; your user-defined playlists will not appear on the new computer if you have not transferred the database table.
In order to successfully transfer iTunes to a new computer you need to move your library and everything that was built around that library. To perform a complete library transfer you need to follow this procedure:
1. *Consolidate your library* If you know for a fact that all of you media files are contained within a single root directory (e.g., iTunes Music), then this step is not necessary. If you do not have the preference to “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library” enabled, then there is a good chance that you will have orphaned media files and should consolidate your library just in case. To perform library consolidation go to Advanced > Consolidate Library (iTunes 7.x) or File > Library > Consolidate Library (iTunes 8).
2. *Transfer your database* Replace the default iTunes folder on your new Mac with the iTunes folder from your old Mac by transferring the entire folder. When asked if you wish to replace the existing iTunes, do so.
3. *Get the media library* If you keep your music in the default iTunes Music folder contained in the iTunes folder, then you have already performed this step. If not, transfer your music folder from you old Mac to wherever you wish for it to reside on your new Mac.
4. *Set up iTunes* Unless you already started modifying preferences in iTunes on the new Mac, when you launch iTunes you should see your music library just as you did on your old Mac.
a. If your library is in the default location, ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes music folder, iTunes will begin rebuilding your library after it launches. Once that process is completed, you should see your library with playlists and folders intact.
b. If your library is in an alternate location, you will see an empty library, but you should see your playlists and folders, albeit filled with broken links. Go to the Advanced tab in iTunes’ preferences and change the location of the iTunes Music folder to the location of your transferred music library. iTunes will begin rebuilding your library from the alternate folder. Once that process is completed your library should be just as it was on your old Mac.
5. *Keep your library consolidated* To insure that any new media that you add to iTunes stays with your main library when you add content to iTunes make sure the “Copy files” preference is enabled. If the “Copy files” preference is disabled then any content that does not come from the iTunes Store or ripped CDs that you add to your iTunes library will remain in the location where the content was originally placed.
Hopefully this helps you better understand how iTunes works and why simply transferring your media files results in a loss of your library’s structure.

Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

Hello Salemr,
When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.
