How to move old address book (XP) into new computer (8.1) as the existing default address book.

I have exported the address book in LDIF format and have also found the abook.mab file in my old XP computer. My new W8.1 address book is totally empty. I don't know where to find the Profile folder on W8.1 and when I import the LDIF it creates a new address book folder which I don't want. I just want everything in the default address book.

Open the newly created address book. Click on one contact to select it. Hit control+a to select them all. Drag and drop them on the personal Address Book folder to move them there.

    If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
    If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
    I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
    Recovery options:
    A: If Windows isn't booting:
    You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
    I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    or
    burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
    You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
    Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
    Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
    Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
    (If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
    B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
    You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
    There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
    C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
    It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
    You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
    You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
    You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
    D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
    The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
    If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
    E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
    It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
    (Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
    Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
    F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
    Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
    Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
    There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
    Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
    Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

  • How do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all the apps on the ipad

    how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

    This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
    Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.
    This is the original thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527201#11527201
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
    Here is an article that can help you with that.

  • How do I access my itunes on a new computer without access to the old?

    My old computer is dead and gone and I do not own an iphone, but have gotten a new computer.  How do I access my itunes and all the content I have been putting on it for so long now?  My new computer is an acer; I do not own any apple products yet (poor), I just used itunes.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • How to move Acrobat 8 Pro to a new computer?

    I bought a new computer and need to transfer  Acrobat 8 Pro from the old to the new. Both use
    Windows 7 Ultimate. The old in 32 bits, the new in 64 bits.
    How can I do it?
    Thanks,

    At a minimum you will probably need to update AA8. Folks have gotten it to work with Win 7, not sure on x64 system. However, I think that x64 even before Win 7 required at least AA8.2. You may have to download the updates from Adobe.com. In that case, install after the version that is installed and install the updates in order. Do not expect PDF Maker to work in OFFICE 2010 if you upgraded that far. You will have to use the printer as a best process.

  • How to move Flash cs 5 professional to new computer

    Here is a link that was found searching Google using the terms "Adobe Flash transfer to new machine"
    http://prodesigntools.com/move-adobe-cs5-between-computers-or-windows-to-mac.html
    Using those same search terms, or other similar ones, you should be able to find sufficient information to get you thru the process.
    While the one linked above has "CS6" written throughout it, chances are it is equally applicable to preceding versions.  The link itself indicates it was probably just a quick edit to change it from CS5 to CS6.

  • How to get old songs on itunes on new computer?

    I backed up my itunes before, but not after some of the music/artwork/etc was added. My old computer fried and I managed to recover some of the old music on the new one. However, some of the songs are not the versions that I have now and there are some songs that I deleted soon after starting up itunes that are back. Along with that, some songs that I didn't buy or get from a CD are gone. If I plug in my ipod to the computer and sync it, will the songs that I have on my ipod now (that I would prefer be what is on my computer) be erased from the ipod? Or will it replace the stuff in itunes with what is on my ipod?
    If theres a process I can go through to get this stuff back to the way it was on my old computer, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone explained it to me. If the only way to get everything back right would be to go back and redownload everything seperately, please let me know because it would be a pain to have to go through the downloading and redownloading of multiple songs.

  • How can I sync my Iphone to a new computer without clearing all the data?

    When I first started using my iPhone, I had it paired with a MacBook which has subsequently crashed. While most of the information was backed up, not all of it was and iTunes now tells me I must completely erase all of my data. I would prefer not to loose all of my contacts, apps, and other information. I know the phone will not transfer files to my computer, I'm not asking how to do that nor do I care to. I just want to sync it with my new MacBook Pro.

    You cannot sync without erasing.
    Transfer your itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Then enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the new computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.
    Make sure you backup everything going forward.  It makes all of this much easier.

  • How can I transfer my bookmarks to a new computer without syncing, since the old computer is trashed and cannot connect?

    That's it. I need my bookmarks. But that computer is never going to connect to the internet again. Remember when we didn't assume interconnectivity of every damn thing? This is how the cyclons are going to win.
    Any help out there?

    Assuming that old PC still boots up, see this: <br />

    If it won't boot up, you might be able to install the old hard drive into a USB hard drive enclosure and connect the old drive as an external drive.
