Importing Email from PC onto new Mac

I'm a first time Mac user and am trying to figure out how to get a ton of email off Outlook from my old PC into the Mail program on the new Mac. How should I save the emails for transfer? None of the choices seem to work for import (for example Comma Separated Values or Tab separated values work for importing CONTACTS, but not for the actual emails).
I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this or direction to where I can find help! I'm lost without all those old messages.

I just did this a few weeks ago. You need to open up Outlook Express and import mail from your outlook.pst file into Outlook Express. Once this is done, you need to find all your .mbx files and then copy them to your Mac. Once you copy them to your Mac, you need to rename the .mbx files to .mbox. Once you have done this, you can open up Mail on your Mac and them import all the .mbox files. This is real easy, does not take a long time and it's free.

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

Getting songs from nano onto new mac

thanks so much.

There are a number of third party utilities that can retrieve the files from your iPod. My daughter uses her iPod Mini she's over visiting she has an account on my Mac. We have used Sentuti to move playlists into her iTunes on the Mac. It's pretty intuitive and simple to use, you simply drag and drop tracks or playlists to iTunes within Senuti's own interface panel.

If your iPod was set for automatic update, you'll probably want to change it to manual update until you have completed reloading your new Mac. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the ⌥ and ⌘ keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.

Migrate email from old to new mac (outlook to entourage)

Hello.
Anyone have any ideas on how to migrate email messages from an old imac (OS 9.2) to a new one (OS X). The old machine is running Outlook and the new one is Entourage. There are ways to save individuals messages as text and then move them over, but that is a lot of saving (one at a time). I don't see an export option in Outlook.
Thanks for any advice.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

When you booted up the new machine the first time, did you use the migration assistant? If not, you might want to try using the Restore disk and restore the Mac Pro to its factory state. Also, take a look at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773 and A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs. Those should get you started in the right direction.

How do I get contacts from iphone5 onto new pc?

How do I get contacts from iphone5 onto new pc? They do show up on my Ipad but not in icloud on my pc. Thank you.

If you are trying to do this with iCloud, make sure your Mac is running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, turn Contacts to On, then on your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your account and check Contacts.
If you only want to import a copy of your contacts from your Mac to your phone without using iCloud, do the following:
Open Contacts (Address Book) on your Mac, go to View>Groups.
Click on the All Contacts group, select any contact to the right, thengo to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select them all.
Export to a vCard by going to File>Export>vCard, save this on your desktop.
Send an email to yourself with this file as an attachment.
Open the email on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts to your phone.

Transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to Outlook 2010 for windows

Hi,
I want to transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2010 for windows.
Outlook 2011 exports mails only in olm format and there is no option to import olm files in outlook 2010.
I can drag and drop emails from outlook 2011 to a finder folder which saves emails as eml files. How can import eml files into outlook 2010.
Please help

Hi,
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
Base on the research ,
We can try the steps below to add the registry sub key. This will open all .eml files that are in the file system using Outlook, including *.eml attachments on messages in OE/WLM. Any replies will be sent
using Outlook.
===========
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
occurs.
1.Type
regedit in the Search field on the Start menu or press
Windows Key+ R and enter it in the Run command.
2.Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command
3. Change the command line (here its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1)
to the following line, exactly as shown below but correcting the path to Outlook.exe to match the path on your computer.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE" /eml "%1"
Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely

Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Work with multiple libraries

Can not delete gmail emails,why, on my new Mac Book OS x 9.4

Hi,
First I uninstalled my old HP Scan application using uninstall in the same folder as the app.
Then I installed HP Scanjet Full Feature Software and Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6 from HP support page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=sj-78355-5 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3236366&sw_lang=
Then I was able to make single scans using Image Capture.
Does it help?

Import email from 3g to 5s

I cannot import email from yahoo- 3g to 5s

I just downloaded and installed Thunderbird to test importing from Mail. I go through the import wizard and when I get to the end of it I get the following message
Mail was successfully imported from Mail
No mailboxes were found to import
After each import attempt a new import folder is created but no messages are imported.
As this is pretty much the same end result from using the Outlook import wizard as well, I want to say that this might not be a Outlook issue.

Can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

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

Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.
