  • Can I get a book from my Ipad to my mac?

    Can I get a book from my Ipad to my Mac? Not sure what app I purchased from either Amazon or Itunes store.

    If it's Amazon then you'll need the Mac Kindle program from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_200127470_ksupport_ma c?nodeId=200438360) and you should then be able use the program to download the book (for free) from Amazon onto your Mac and read it there.
    For iBooks you can use Transfer Purchases in iTunes when connected to your computer to copy the book to your Mac - but I don't think that you can read iBooks ebook purchases on a computer.

  • Can I put Mail and Address book from my backed up dead Mac to my new one

    My powerpc G5 Imac just died. It was completely backed up to Mozy, and I would like to restore my Mail and Address book from that machine on the new Snow Leopard machine I bought today. Is that possible?

    if you are completely backed up then yes. copy the following items from the old computer to the corresponding locations on the new computer
    /users/yourusername/library/mail (copy the whole folder)
    /users/yourusername/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    /users/yourusername/library/application support/address book (copy the whole folder).
    star Mail and address book and they should look as they did on the old computer.

  • Moving address book from PC outlook express to Mac address book

    What software or other magic do I need to get the address book with the group lists out of Outlook Express PC and into Mac's Address Book?
    Tried Thunderbird -- that didn't separate the groups of lists nor did it bring over all the information.

  • URGENT -Help Needed, Windows Email Accounts & Address Book from Outlook Exp

    Okay, purchased an iMAC, took the old WINDOWS disk, placed in EXTERNAL ENCLOSURE and was wondering, is there a way to get that .DAT outlook file (on the external now, that OSX sees) and somehow convert or import to MAC MAIL so I can get the address book and all the emails?
    Thanks. Am sure this has been a concern - appreciate the help.
    Thank you again.

    i would first suggest you go to an apple store next to you - if there is one of course - and let a genius do the transfer for you, no hassle, quick and painless...
    if you do not wish to do so, or are not close to an apple store, then you may want to read this link: http://www.apple.com/getamac/movetomac/network.html and follow the instructions to migrate.
    hope this helps

  • How do transfer my address book from my PC to my Mac desktop?

    I was advised at the Apple shop to save my address book as a business card but this does not work for the whole address book. It only seems to work one address at the time. Am I doing something wrong?

  • How on earth do I restore my old Address Book from Time Machine?

    Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
    Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
    I don't understand.
    Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
    Please help!

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • How to sync address book from mac to iPad

    Hello, I bought my husband an iPad and cannot figure out how to copy our address book from Apple mail on our MAC to his iPad. Need help! Thank you.

    Method 1:
    Connect the iPad to the Mac.
    Open iTunes (and wait until the Backup is finished).
    Select the iPad in the left Sidebar (switch it on with alt-command-S).
    Switch to the second Tab at the top named "info".
    Check the Button Contacs.
    Click "synchonize" down right.
    After the Sync is done, the Adresses are on the iPad.
    Method 2:
    Activate the iCloud-Account in Macs System Prefs or in Address Book directly.
    Activate the iCloud-Accouunt on the iPad and switch the Addresses-Slider to on.
    After Some Minutes, the Adresses are copyed via the Cloud to Your iPad.

    Hello mb9236,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine. 
    It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application.  The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book. 
    Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there.  Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
    Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
    If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
    Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
    Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
    If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
    When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
    If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
    You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.

  • I must import my address book from my old Yahoo account? How do I do that?

    I need to import my address book from my old Yahoo account to AOL and
    Windows Live. I cannot find a way to do this.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I left Yahoo and went to AOL & Windows live.

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser, and thus has no use for an Address Book.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Anyone have experience moving files from an iPad to a Mac?

    Dear Folks,
    I need a way to transfer files from my iPad to my Mac, to deal with the content (music and videos right now, but probably other types of files in the future) that iTunes doesn't back up. I've come across two programs that supposedly will let me mount an iPad on the Mac desktop and/or allow me to transfer files from it to my Mac. Deggie and dwb also know of several and have kindly mentioned them. So, I'm considering:
    IMToo Podworks for Mac (http://www.imtoopodworks.com/pod-works-mac.html)
    Air Sharing HD (http://avatron.com/apps/air-sharing-hd/)
    Senuti (http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/)
    Yamipod (http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/)
    iRip (http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/)
    Does anyone reading this have an opinion on (or experience with) how well any of these work?
    Free vs fee isn't an issue for me, how well it functions is.
    Thanks!

    I can tell you with certainty that for documents of any kind "GoodReader" is an excellent app. It will let you connect to your mac via wi-fi. It mounts it as an external drive and you can create folders and drag files to the folders.
    I haven't tried dragging any movies or music but there wouldn't be anything to stop you from doing so. There is also a file management component to the app that lets you choose an "Open with ... " type of dialog and open a file with pages if it is a .doc file, or GoodReader can open pdf, doc, xls and many other doc types.
    Very happy with this .99 cent app. I agree with the other question though. If I rip a dvd, I use handbrake to convert to mp4 and add to my iTunes - then sync as per normal.
