I'm trying to import my old "on myMac" mail folders from my 4 yr old MacBookpro to my new macbookpro.    Help.     I didn't have iCloud or me mobile.    I searched apps but can't find anything that addresses this problem.   I liked the old mail program and how I could create many files or smart mailboxes.   Any ideas would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance. 

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you don't have a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that iWeb uses to create the site you'll have to start over from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

  • I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

    I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
    How do I do the importing.

    If the video is already on a DVD:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

    You can't share/play a music CD using Remote Disk. It's a limitation that Apple built in.
    "MacBook Air and Mac mini do not support playing DVD movies or audio CD media with Remote Disc."
    Remote Disk is limited to data transfers.
    You will have to use the MBA external superdrive, or another compatible external DVD device hooked directly to the Macbook Air.
    Otherwise, you will need to rip the CD's contents using your PC and transfer the music as data files.

  • Import mail folders from Snow Leopard into Lion

    Hi,
    I've just switched from my MacBook Pro (MAC OS X Snow Leopard) to a new iMac (MAC OS X Lion). On both machines, I've been using Apple Mail.
    Now I want to import the Mail folders from the Mail in Snow Leopard to the Mail in Lion. When using FILE > IMPORT FOLDER nothing was imported: Both settings, importing from Apple Mail and importing ".mbox" files, did end in a message saying that the folders could not be imported.
    So I figured out how to access the library folder in my user account on lion and pasted all the mailboxes from Snow Leopard to LIBRARY/MAIL/V2/MAILBOXES. After that, I deleted the "envelope" files from LIBRARY/MAIL/V2/MAILDATA. I started Mail and it created the envelope files from scratch. Now I can see the mail folders, but they are all empty! However, when I browse to the mailbox files in the Finder (LIBRARY/MAIL/V2/MAILBOXES), I can see that each mailbox ".mbox" folder has an "Info.plist" and a folder "Messages". Those folders are not emtpy!
    How can I get my Mail in Lion to properly display the messages in the folders?
    Any comments are welcome! Thanks for your support!!
    Regards,
    Matthias

    Could you please explain the whole process of exporting mail from Snow to Lion. I have been trying for weeks on two diffrent computers and I can not get it to work.
    I have moved the library, not sure to delete the envelopes. How do you export the  mbox-files ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, that looks very comprehensive.  Wish I'd seen it before completing Set-Up Assistant initially!  Will follow his instructions and report back.

  • Importing Mail folders from a Time Machine Backup

    Hi,
    i just finished setting up my brand new MacBook Air, what i wan't able to do was to import my Mail folders from the last backup of my previous MacBookPro and merge them into Mail on this computer.
    To be more detailed, on my last computer i had some folders i created to store some important emails from work, from a specific person or for a specific porpouse.
    I would definitly need those folders with the emails they contains on this computer too.
    What i have is a backup made from time machine on an external device. I cannot restore Mail from it because it says it's a basic application of osx and cannot be deleted. Is there a path or a specific way i can find those folders with and bring them on my new computer?
    Thanks a lot to all who will help me.
    To be more clear, here is a screen of the type of folders i mean:

    This item in Pondinis Time Machine stuff may help:
    You can restore entire mailboxes or individual messages

  • Trying to import Entourage Emails into Apple Mail

    I recently purchased a new Mac (Mountain Lion) and am trying to import the emails from my old Mac. I was previously using Entourage but I want to import them into Apple Mail.
    My old Mac will not restart but I have a copy on time machine. I think I have located the correct folder (and have copied it to my desktop):
    My User Name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database
    However, when I click on the Import Mailboxes option in Apple Mail, it only gives me the following options:
    Apple Mail, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format.
    Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed?
    Many thanks
    Claire

    One method which is manual is as follows.
    With the Apple Address Book and Entourage address book launched and both positioned so each is partially visible, select the Address Book "All" Group.
    Select a contact in the Entourage address book and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Select All to select/highlight all Entourage contacts.
    Click and drag all selected/highlighted contacts to the Address Book Name column for the "All" Group and release.
    After selecting all Entourage contacts, you can also try Edit > Copy.
    Select the Name column for the Address Book "All" Group and at the Address Book menu bar, go to Edit and select Paste.

  • Importing Old Juno email mail folders

    Is there any way to import Juno Online email folders from the old Juno Mac client into Mac's Mail program?

    It's my old email from my PC copy of the Juno software. There are several hundred email messages I would like to retrieve from the mailboxes, but since I don't have an active platinum account anymore (I have a free account), I can't download the Juno Mac client and import the account. Is their a way to open the juno "mailbox.bdb" files with Mac Mail?

  • Can you move mail folders from an old .Mac account to a new .Mac account?

    I hope someone can help since even the Mac Genius at the Apple Store nor Applecare seem to know.
    Due to massive spam to my .Mac account & it's alias accounts I opened a new .Mac account before my old account died. However, without any answers my old account died last night. Which probably doesn't help.
    1. Is there a way to move my mail folders in 'mail app' from my old .Mac account over to the new .Mac account?
    2. In 'mail app' > preferences > add account > the pop-up box for the new account automatically shows my old .Mac account information, full name, description, user name. But, if I replace that information with my new .Mac account name and info no one can tell me if that automatically delete any mail folders/information from the old account.
    Basically I'm lost because no one seems to understand how the system works, not even the Mac Genius.
    Any ideas?

    You're welcome.
    Second, because I couldn't get any real answers somehow last night I managed to drag & drop my 'mail app' mail folders onto my desktop. At least I have it there, LOL.
    What do you mean by Mail.app mail folders? There is a single Mail folder which contains all Mail.app data (account folders, mailboxes, rules, junk mail learned settings, etc.) except for the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and is stored in your Preferences folder.
    Did you place a copy of the entire Mail folder located at Home > Library > Mail on the Desktop?
    The question is can that mail folder from the desktop be placed into mail with the new .Mac account? Some of the old folders were from "on my mac" and some with .Mac & the server so not really sure what moved to the desktop. But, at least it's something.
    The answer to this question is no. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are stored locally on the hard drive and are not associated with any account. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes are are not deleted when deleting an account or changing existing account information with Mail.
    When creating an account with Mail, an account named folder is created within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account. The associated account mailboxes are located within the account named folder with the exception of locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account. Locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes. This would be the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes if these mailboxes are not stored on the server which is available under the Mailboxes Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
    Since a .Mac type account is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, you have the option to store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages locally on the hard drive with Mail for the account preferences.
    Were you accessing your old .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Mail and if so, what were/are your settings under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences for Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages - storing these messages on the server or locally on the hard drive?
    Since a .Mac type account with Mail is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox remain on the server and since Apple/.Mac has now cancelled this account, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server have been deleted.
    When you open the 'mail app' >file>add account> the pop-up box automatically has the information in there from the expired .Mac account.
    Is your old .Mac account information still available at System Preferences > .Mac under the Account tab?
    If so, this is where the Mail.app is getting the old .Mac account information which needs to be changed to your new .Mac account information.
    If you placed a copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop for backup purposes, you can can create your new .Mac account with Mail which should not change or affect your existing .Mac account with Mail but you cannot "merge" account named folders and mailboxes between two accounts.
    You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the old account's Sent mailbox if you did not store Sent messages on the server for your old .Mac account preferences.

  • 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).

  • Trying to import drivers, anyone ever run across FOLDERS that are named with a .INF?

    I am using the excellent driver import script from http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/automate-importing-and-creating-drivers-packages-in-sccm-2012-r2/ to try and import drivers from Dell and HP.
    We got these drivers from the Dell driver CAB website, same with HP.
    We've extracted these drivers and are now attempting to import them.  For the most part this works well, but there are some drivers that have a FOLDER in their path that has .INF in the FOLDER name. The script (I think) is seeing that folder name and
    treating it as a driver .INF file, and failing to import it. An example is below.
    These folders do have drivers in them, but the script is stopping before going any deeper, since it thinks these folders are actually driver files. Has anyone else run across this? I imagine you have if you're using the Dell and HP CAB files, which I suspect
    many people are. Is there any reason these folders are named like this? Can I remove the .INF from the folder names and re-run the script? Will this cause any problems down the road?

    It is kinda silly of the vendors to extract to folders in this way. You would never manually create a folder structure like that.
    However, you are lucky to have the CAB file in the first place. More and more I am finding that there are no CAB files to download for certain models - I have to end up making my own driver package by importing individual drivers. It's a real pain.

  • All contacts gone after deleting old Outlook (exchange) mail account from iphone.  How to get contacts back?

    I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone.  How can I get them back?  Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts?  Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
    When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu.  The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them --->  phone to itunes or itunes to phone.  Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes.  I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost.  If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option.  Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
    By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
    Help.

    Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove.  This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts.  They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

  • Trying p2v import of virtual machine image, server pool not chooseable

    I'm trying to import a virtual machine image via p2v from an OEL 5 bare metal image. I go to resources, virtual machine images, Import, choose p2v, and then on the General Information page, it asks for Server Pool Name. The name of my one and only server pool is not in the dropdown. The dropdown only contains "Select Server Pool". I tried to fill in the rest and hit Next but it failed me on the Server Pool name.
    How can I get the server pool name to show up in that dropdown?
    There is one server pool, one server, and one vm already on that server.
    thanks,
    Peter

    It's a bug, I had the same problem. I used this and it worked (copying and pasting from an old thread with the solution):
    Workaround:
    VM Manager -> Server Pools -> Select Server Pool Name -> EDIT -> Check the box of “Enable High Availability” -> Apply -> Ignore the “Shared storage is not mounted, or the file system is invalid. The file system should be OCFS2 or NFS.” error message. Leave unchecked the box of ”Enable High Availability” -> Apply again:
    “The server pool updated successfully.”
    Now you can retry the import.

  • Import Wizard Error trying to Import from CE 9 to BOJ XI 3.0

    I just installed BOJ XI 3.0 on a new server. I am trying to import the reports, users and data sources from our CE9 server to the new server. When I put in the APS name, log on name and password I get a error message saying..
    Unable to connect to cluster @@ to retrieve CMS member list. Locally chached member list not present. Logon cannot continue
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I have over 900 reports and I dont wnat to have to manually upload every one..
    Thanks in advance.

    Thomas,
    I am afraid that you will have to upgrade to XI or XIR2 first. Below is something from 3.0 guide:
    If you are upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 9 or 10, you must first upgrade to either BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, or XI Release 2 SP2 or higher.
    Hope this helps.
