Import scripts from another computer

I bought a new computer and exported the scripts from my old computer to a flat file, then imported onto the new computer (after a new install of XE from the website). I got a security error that I was not in the same security group as the exporter! Checked and on new computer I have full system privileges, on export I was SYSTEM. Tried editing a copy of the flat file with the security code from message which was 15 characters long (on file 16 characters) but that failed in the same way.
Any ideas, or do I need to re-type the scripts.
Old computer is now in pieces for shipment.

OS related problem:
Security policy on Vista is not same as on XP.
E.g. on Vista you must explicitly give your OS-user ADMIN privilege.

Importing tunes from another computer

Hi. I've been trying to help my wife import song files from her desktop PC iTunes library to her laptop PC iTunes library, without much success (I'm a Mac guy). Her iTunes libraries can "see" each other, but when you try to access them, a message appears along the lines of "please make sure your firewall software enables port 3689", or words to that effect. In other words, I should be able to at least play songs on one computer from another, but I can't even do that at this point, much less import them, which is what I'm really trying to do.
Sorry for the rambling....I'm just trying to include details for you all.
Thanks!

Can't import library from another computer

I used to be able to sync my aperture libraries from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. I just would use the import Library/Project option and it worked perfectly. Now Aperture just hangs when I try to do it and I can't get it to work.
Does anyone have any ideas?

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

After importing bookmarks from another computer, I have two copies of all of them: how can I delete the 'right' copy?

I successfully imported my bookmarks from my old to new Macbook. But now there are two copies of everything, listed one after the other. I tried to delete one set, but only deleted the ones organized into folders. There are still doubles of a lot of bookmarks. Now when I bookmark new pages on the new computer, it adds them to the end of one list of bookmarks but not the other and it's the list that doesn't have the folders from the old computer. How can I delete one set of bookmarks, but keep the set that it's adding on to and keep my folders?

I think in this case you need a addon:

Import Firefox from another computer

My old laptop crashed and I had to buy another one. My old one was running Windows XP and my new one has Windows 8. I pulled the hard drive from my old computer to recover my files. Is it possible for me to recover my favorites and saved passwords for Firefox from my old hard drive?
Thank you

Finally, click Next.
You will see a Setup Complete! message. Click Close to close the progress window and take you back to Firefox. Don't worry, your data will continue to be encrypted and uploaded in the background.
'''Now Open your new device '''

2> Click I Have an Account.
3> The code to add this computer will be displayed.
enter the code and follow the steps and you will be done

I was wondering if I import my bookmarks from another computer will this overwrite the bookmarks I already have?

I was wondering if I import bookmarks from another computer will they overwrite bookmarks I already have? Is there a way to prevent this?

It depends upon the method used to import the bookmarks.
Firefox can import from two formats, if you import the JSON format it will overwrite the bookmarks that already exist. If you import from the HTML format it will add the bookmarks that are imported to those that already exist.
To use the HTML format see the following links.

If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?

If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer? I imported music from a CD into my compter at work and when I got home and went to my iTunes account none of the songs were in my library. I also noticed that on my Work computer there were a couple songs that I had to click on the little 'cloud' icon before I could listen to them (these were not songs I imported they were songs that were already in my library). Not sure if this makes semse...help.

Only if you have iTunes Match or of the computers are on the same local network.

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
OK here is my senario:
Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
This is what I did thinking it should work...
1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

How to use iMovie 08 imported footage on another computer in iMovie 09?

I had to import quite a lot of video from tape and had only firewire 400 cable so did it on a Mac running iMovie 08.
Now, how can I move the imported data to another computer using iMovie 09?
When I open iMovie 09, I can see the disk on the other computer (over the LAN) but how can I get iMovie 09 to recognise and use the data that iMovie 08 has imported?

You can use these files, but the first time you open them in iMovie 09, they will be upgraded so they will no longer work in iMOvie 08. New cache and thumbnails files will be created.
It is probably not working now because, for performance reasons, iMovie 09 will not work with a network drive. There are workarounds involving symbolic links. But you still have to deal with the performance issue.
So, do you want these files to still work in iMovie 08?
*If no...*
Simple drag and drop these Event Folders to a locally attached external drive that is formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled). They should be placed in a folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the drive. Attach this drive to the computer with iMovie 09, and start iMovie 09.
Note: You could also move these files to your internal hard drive if you have plenty of room. In this case, they go in the Movies/iMovie Events folder.
*if yes..*.
Attach a properly formatted external drive to the computer with iMovie 08. In the finder, copy (not move) the Event folders to folder named "iMovie Events" at the top level of the drive.
Also, if you have created projects from your imported footage (the events), and you want to port your projects to iMovie 09, it gets a little more complicated. Let me know.

How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

Hi,
Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

How do I stop my Macbook Air from transferring your information from another computer?

Just purchased my Macbook Air. When I started it up, it asked if I wanted to tranfer information from my other computer. the first thing it started to download was the music and it suddenly froze when it had a 1hr and 46 mins left and now I can escape out of it. It is the only thing that is on my screen. I ended the transfer on my PC but it wont clear out on my Macbook Air. Is there a way to restart the computer so it will retry the tranfer without the music?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button until the Mac turns off, and turn it on again.
Instead of transferring your files from another computer through the network, copy your data from your old PC or Mac to an external drive, connect the external drive to your MacBook Air and transfer your files
