Import pst from windows as a working inbox and account

Hi All,
I want to import my Outlook .pst from Windows into my new Macbook running 10.8 and Office 11
I followed the directions and exported from Windows a backup.pst, and shifted this over to the Mac.
However, when I import into Outlook it doesn't come up as a working inbox but as a folder underneath Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Deleted, and when I check in Prefs > Accounts, there is no account setup.
How do I do this? Do I have to setup the accounts first, and then do the import?
or do I import the working .pst file and not the backup.pst?
Please help.

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

After I did a backup from iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts were gone and then tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why is iTunes restore not working correctly?
I thought all my contacts were saved in iTunes, never had this problem before. Besides manually restoring them myself, is there any other way to retrive them?

How do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash?

how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account. When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email. That's a POP account.

"Import GPS from iPhone" no longer working with iPhone 4 & 4S

Hi-
Since upgrading to the Iphone 4, the Import GPS from Iphone function has ceased to work. The phone appears on the import screen, and photos can be imported sucesfully (and the GPS data is embedded correctly on the photo), but when you go to the places window and go to the import gps from iphone function, the window opens like it's trying to bring up the photos but nothing appears.
This bug continues with the 4S. This function worked fine with my Iphone 3.
Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm surprised this bug has yet to be fixed.
Thanks
Matt

I have the same problem the screen is show something like this:
And never stops and show any photo.
In other way i want to use it to create an slideshow that scroll the map showing the photos, it is possible?
An update soon to fix this problem...
Thanks...

Importing contacts from windows outlook xp into leopard contacts

I am a PC freak, 25 years experience, that now is turning total MAC, have on mac pro, one all new iMac 20" and one macbook g4.
major item holding back from transition was the inability to find a way to transport several thousand customer info, stored in outlook, using Categories as vital selecting criteria.
for some reason ??? Entourage will not import, succfully, this information from outlook. after much ado I have finally come up with a working solution.
I will only do the transiotion once, but maybe others can benefit from my findings (when I browse the forums, I spot lots of frustrated users sitting in similar situations)
So here it is:
the ONLY way (that works)to transport contact from outlook is to
open one contact
save as vCard
send as attachment in mail or put on USB stick
+
in leopard
open mail /USB stick
save vCard to folder on mac
in adressbook import vCard from (that folder)
and repeat...
Now i had these thousands contacts so I found a utility for windows (Mouse and Key recorder 6.3 at www.kratronic.com, free trial for 30 days) that, after some trimmings did the "clicking" for me, storing the generated vCards in appropiate folders (some 400 at a time, for safety)
I emailed these to my .mac mail, and they arrived well. Put them into folders on the desktop and, from adressbook (I use Danish Leopard so not totally sure of english description) I choose Import vCard.
Now comes the distress point not vCards all were imported....
Only a bleak message that not all vCards were imported not the reason!
after several trials I found out that even the content in adressbook were shoving say 437 items, and I had offered say 950 items for import, I got the full quantity shown if i simply sorted the adressbook (first name or last name first....)
then
behold all items were in the adressbook.
I dont have to worry about Entourage, Its synced with the adressbook in Leopard, Grin grin. so no need as I thought to import into Entourage.
this last feature seems not to be used / known when looking in forums, so here it is for your use.

I have tried every way I know to transfer my Windows 7 Live email contacts to my new BlackBerry Storm 9550 and nothing seems to work. Are they compatible? And if so, how can this be done? Does the BlackBerry record addresses and other information about contacts as well as phone numbers?
Hi,
Probably the easiest way to sync contact information would be by first exporting your contact list from Windows 7 into a vcard file or an excel type file such as a .csv file. Then, by using Blackberry Desktop Manager, import that file and load the contacts onto your device. Personally, I spent a few dollars and bought a program called Data Pilot from Susteen. Data Pilot works with all sorts of phones and devices allowing you to easily transfer contacts from one device to another. I use it to regularly backup my Tour's contact list. It was worth the money to buy that program because it saves all of the fields in the phone such as addresses, email addresses, etc. Anyways, let me know if the above works for you.

No access to NAS, same Windows-account from Windows 8.1 works

I have a Buffalo Terastation TS4800D and want to add a network drive in Windows 10 to one of the shares on the NAS. I use the same Windows-account ([email protected]) from both my Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 PC. It works fine from the PC running Windows 8.1
but from Windows 10 I get the following error message when clicking the NAS from "Network" in Windows Explorer:
"\\BUFNAS8 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The account is not authorized to log in from this station."

Hi indahla,
The error message is due to a change we made in Windows 10 Technical Preview (from build 9926) which is related to security and remote file access that may affect you.

Import music from windows media player to itunes

I can't import my mp3 files from window media player to my ipod. Can anyone tell me in detail how this is done?

You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

Office 2004 for Mac:: Problems Importing Data from Windows

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but:
I am switching from Windows and Outlook 2003 and trying to move my data from Outlook into Entourage. I was somewhat successful using O2M to import my Contacts and E-Mail.j However O2M created a bunch of .ics files that I can’t seem to get into Entourage’s calendar.
I also have a lot of Outlook Notes and Tasks that I can’t seem to import or drag into Entourage’s Notes and Task windows.
Any suggestions? I didn’t think it would be so hard. You would think that Microsoft as the vendor of both programs would have provided a smoother method of moving data between their programs.
Thanks
Ben

Thanks for the response. I will check the site that you reference.
Just out of curiousity--why is this not a good place to ask this question? As a new user to the Apple/Mac community am I relegated to asking questions only about Apple hardware and software written only by Apple? One of the enticements for switching over to Apple from Windows, besides getting tired of having to be a technical wizard, were all the platitudes about how easy it is to switch. Well it isn't all that easy.
Don't get me wrong, I am loving my new MacBook Pro and I imagine once I get my Outlook data over to the Mac I will be really happy. But given that all my email, notes, tasks, calendar and contacts for years have been on my Windows machine I would have liked a little less hair pulling trying to get it over to my mac. It has not been clean and it hasn't been easy [over a week now].
Somehow I thought "Well I'm probably not the first person to be taking this route and where would I find the largest number of people who may have already gone before me and could offer directions/suggestions." I did do my research and based on the number of postings concluded that Office2004 for Mac was the best choice if I was using Outlook on Windows and needed to continue to use Word/Excel/Powerpoint with the rest of the business world. And it did appear from all the postings that a lot of people use this package.
Again, this is not meant to come off harsh, but it is a little off-putting to be told "This isn't the appropriate place for this question"
Thanks

Import email from apple mail not working

I have a simple applescript which imports emails from Apple Mail into filemaker
tell application "Mail"
          set theSelection to selection
          set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
          content of theMessage
          set the clipboard to content of theMessage as text
end tell
This works in the Old Apple Mail in 10.6 but Lion changes everything doesnt it. This is not working in the new Mail 5.1. It will import the first message in the string but not the HIGHLIGHTED message which may be in the message string of 3 or 4. I want it to set theMessage contents of the highlighted message. Does anyone know how to select the highlighted message in a string - sometimes called the selected message. Thanks
