How to transfer PC's address book over to my new Mac's address book?

My first Mac arrives Monday -- a Mac Mini. I can't figure out how to transfer my Window ME's Outlook Express address book on my PC over to my new Mac's Mail address book. The two computers will not be networked together. Thanks for any help on this.

You'll need to export it out of Outlook Express to a Comma Separated Vars (CSV), a Tab-Delimited text file, or as vCards. You can then import any of those using the Import… command in Address Book. I don't know what custom fields OE supports, some may not import.

  • Changing to a new Mac... how do I move my Logic prefs over to the new Mac?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm selling my Mac to upgrade to a newer one.
    I'll be re-installing Logic on the new device. However, after all the time I've spent configuring Logic on the current computer, I don't want to lose my prefs!
    How do I save and transfer my preferences to the new Mac?
    And... how do I save the Templates I have created? (Is it as simple as storing them, and then dropping them into the new templates folder?)
    Any tips on this (or any other warnings that might help me have a smooth transition to the new Mac) would be great!
    Cheers,
    Mike

    If you've respected the distinction of System and User on OS X, you should be able to use Migration Assistant to handle everything (save Licensing) -- not just logic prefs and settings.

  • How to transfer files from a faulty drive to a new mac?

    Hi, at the beginning of this year I experienced one of the worst things in my life: my 4 year old macbook air had a kernel panic attack, which resulted in me taking it in for repair at a local computer repair place (since it was out of warranty i took it there because I new apple support wouldn't cover it) anyway, after that the technician says that my hard drive was failing and that he would try to recover my files (I had previously erased all my photos from other computers and had them in this mac) which included about 10,000 pictures that sumed almost 8 years of my life, anyway, the technician did saved a couple of pictures but the iphoto file was no were to be found, he told me that it was too large and he couldn't access it (i believe he forgot about iphoto in the first place because he was able to retrive my documents and some pictures from my desktop) the thing is he returned my mac, which was not fixed and instead of having the kernel panic attack, it went straightly to a grey screen haveing the apple rotate for about 45 secs and then blank. I used disk utility to try and see what was going on and my macintosh HD had been greyed out unmounted without any luck of mounting it back. So my question is, is there a way I can access it without having it mount (i tried mounting it several time but got some error message saying unable to mount or no disk found to mount) I ordered a firewire cable to see if theres a chance i can access that disk and retrive all of my photos. Please help me!

    Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

    Dear friend,
    Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
    Thank and waiting for advice...
    victor

    If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
    Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
    And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
    And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
    PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

    How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    Are they in an iPhoto Library? If so:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

    You'd have to ask Intuit. They might give you a cross-license to download and install the Mac version.
