How to take mailboxes from desktop drive to laptop and back?

I want to copy my e-mail messages (in their user-created mailboxes) from my main G5 to my laptop so I can review them elsewhere, then return them to the G5. I thought I could just copy the Mailboxes folder (or maybe the whole massive Mail folder), place that the corresponding folder in my laptop user Library, then do the same when I get home -- replace the older mailboxes folder with a revised version.
But when I do so, I get a mailbox in the laptop's Mail, but no messages in it.
What am I doing wrong? This should be an easy task, I would think.
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBook Pro

Which recommendation? Did you actually read what I said at the bottom of the post you’ve quoted? And why have you quoted the entire post?
The file format used by Mail changed drastically in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Mail 2.x knows about the old data format and can import mailboxes created by Mail 1.x, but Mail 1.x knows nothing about the new data format used by Mail 2.x. Actually, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x mailboxes is broken and Mail 2.x sometimes can only import Mail 1.x mailboxes as Other, but that’s another story...
Although *.mbox packages appear to be files in Mac OS X 10.3, they’re actually folders just like in Mac OS X 10.4, but Mac OS X 10.3 treats them differently because of the .mbox suffix. Ctrl-click on an *.mbox package and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains.
For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores all the messages in a single file in standard mbox format (the mbox file within the *.mbox folder/package), whereas Mail 2.x stores messages in individual *.emlx files within a Messages folder that Mail 1.x knows nothing about.
You need something like emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the *.emlx files to standard mbox format in order to be able to import them (as Other / Standard mbox) in Mail 1.x.

Help. How do you TAB from HTML component to applet (and back) ?

How can one tab between applets in a browser, and from an applet to an HTML component?
For example, I have the following in my page in decending order:
an HTML text field,
an applet containing two components,
and another HTML text field.
When focus is on the first HTML text field pressing TAB should shift focus to the first component of the applet, the next TAB press shifts focus to the second component of the applet, and the next TAB press shifts focus to the other HTML text field. Then another TAB press cycles back to the first TEXT field.
I can handle the tabbing within the applet using the FocusManager, but how can I get the applet to receive focus on a TAB from the browser, and once the applet has focus, how can I give focus back to the browser when a TAB occurs from my last applet sub-component?
At the moment a user has to click on the applet before he can tab in it, and then click outside it to tab in the html again.
Any help appreciated, as I cant find any reference to how to do this apart from other people asking the same but getting no replies.
Thanks,
Menno

I see what you are saying. Either use javascript with LiveConnect or go all applets.
What we are actually doing at the moment is trying to componentise using small applets passing data via InfoBus. So I guess we could use only applets as you suggest. Either with getAppletContext, or we could have a data item on the InfoBus which contains the name of the required in-focus applet, and all applets listen to see if it is their name, and if so request focus.
I'm suprised applets are not tab-able between by default. I would have thought this was a common requirement.
I'll look into LiveConnect as well, and let you know how we get on.
Cheers,
Menno

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

Good morning: would like to know how to take pictures from my iphoto and put them in a folder on my desktop

To take photos from iPhoto and put them onto a folder on Desktop, first create a folder on Desktop. Right-click on Desktop and create a new folder.
Then, open iPhoto, and you have two ways to export photos:
1. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key (or go to Edit menu > Select All, if you want to copy all photos), and then, drag them to the folder on Desktop.
2. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key, go to File menu > Export, and follow the steps.
You can choose the one you prefer

How to take reports from miro t-code please explain in a step by step manner?

How to take reports from miro t-code please explain in a step by step manner?

I just did as you said (I think), but it's still having the same behaviour as before (same data for all EVS in the table).
Here´s what I did:
I
In node "Detail" (cardinality 0...n, singleton set to true), which is binded to the table, I created a child node named "Column1Values" wth cardinality 1...1 and singleton set to false.
"Column1Values" node has an attribute called "column1", of type String.
I did the binding between attribute "column1" and the column1 inputfield celleditor in the table.
I created an event called Column2Changed and binded it to the column2 celleditor of the table. I added a parameter called nodeElement of type IPrivateCompView.IDetailElement to this event, and mapped it to the column2 editor in the table so that I can dynamically get the nodeElement that is being affected.
I added the following code to the onActionColumn2Changed(wdEvent, nodeElement) method that gets created in the view:
IWDAttributeInfo attrInfo = nodeElement.nodeColumn1Values().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("column1");
ISimpleTypeModifiable siType = attrInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet<String> value = siType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
if(this.initRFC_Input(nodeElement.getColumn2())){
     for(int i =0; i < wdContext.nodeRFCresults().size(); i++){
          value.put(wdContext.nodeRFCresults().getRFCresultsElementAt(i).getId(),
                              wdContext.nodeRFCresults().getRFCresultsElementAt(i).getDesc());
And with this, I still get the original problem... When the EVS of one row is updated, ALL other EVS of the table get also updated with the same values.
What am I missing? Sorry Govardan, I bet I'm not seeing something really obvious... hopefully you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Does anyone how to take music from ipod and put it on to my computer?

does anyone how to take music from ipod and put it on to my computer? i desperatly need to do that so please help me!!!! i will download software if i need to

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

Hi,
I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
Much appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with each letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word and Pages. Any idea of how to resolve this annoying problem is appreciated. System: 10.10.1

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with every letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word 2011 and Pages. Any idea of how to solve this annoying problem will be much appreciated. System 10.10.1 on a MacPro (Late 2013)

The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image). Here is the what I found for a search of "mouse cursor flickers os x yosemite"

What kind of mouse are you using? Is the mouse driver up to date if it's a third party mouse?

I need to know how to take a person out of a picture and then add it to another picture?

I need to know how to take a person out of a picture and then add it to another picture? I am on version 9.0 for photoshop elements.

Try this:
In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.
