How to transfer mail messages from macbook pro to an iMac

i cannot get my messages from a macbook pro to an imac.
i made a macbook complete backup copy to my time capsule and then iniciated my imac from that info.
i got every thing but the messages
canito

There is a bug when doing “export mailbox” and import mailbox functionality. 
Workaround:
  > Open Finder and under the “Go” menu, hold down the option key.  The “Library” sub-menu will show up.
  > Copy the entire “Library > Mail” folder to a USB disk (it will not work if copying to a shared drive for some reason)
  > Take the USB disk to the new computer and do an “Import Mailbox” and select the copied Data file.  There will be LOTS of folders that come up for import, you can browse through and deselect what you don’t need (e.g. trash or junk mail), OR just import everything and then clean up from your mailbox.
  > The imported folders will show up in mail under the “On My Mac” area.

  • How to transfer itunes control from macbook pro to new imac

    I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that I have used the past several years as my iTunes 'control' device. It's what I connect my iPhone, iPad, and iPod to in order to sync music, apps, etc and to back those devices up. I just bought a new iMac and would like it to be that 'control' device now, but can't seem to find any way to do that. I can't do anything with Home Sharing except play music while another device is also on the network, and even the iTunes copy directions pertaining to external drives, CDs, etc, all just transfer the music library. I want apps, too. If I try plug anything directly into my iMac via USB I get an annoyingly persistent bonging error message - "iTunes could not connect to this (whichever device I plugged in)".
    I was really excited about having my new iMac as my iTunes control base and retiring my MacBook, but it appears I might not be able to do that. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

    I gave up and called Apple Support. Turns out it was actually a simple problem - and a valuable lesson learned. Several months ago I was at the airport when I realized I'd forgotten my Apple-to-USB cable. Went to a kiosk and bought a "guaranteed genuine Apple replacement". Well, it isn't. That was the cable I was trying to use to connect my various devices to my new iMac and that was what was causing my problem. Apple support guy was very polite in telling me it wasn't up to Apple standards. Tracked down a genuine, genuine Apple-to-USB cable and bingo! everything is working fine. I'm backing up and syncing my iPad to my iMac as I write this. Caveat emptor when buying "genuine Apple replacement" junk at airport kiosks! And thank you for polite, professional, and spot on support from Apple!

  • How to transfer large files from macbook pro to External Hard Drive?

    I want to transfer a file from my Mac to an external hard drive, it says "The item “File name” can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's format."
    I am trapped, if there is any way you could suggest me to overcome this problem I will be grateful.

    I may be wrong, but I believe the format has something to do with it - note the sizes here (from the Help in Disk Utility on how to format a drive for Windows):

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower

    How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower?

    Logic saves projects in the Logic folder, found in the Music folder.
    Projects are saved into folders, which contain the Logic file, and any associated audio files, freeze files, bounces, et cetera.
    These projects can be dragged to an external drive, a USB thumb drive, or sent via wi-fi over AirDrop.

  • I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?

    I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
    Is there anyone to help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
    Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin).

  • How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.
