Is It Safe To Transfer Old iCal Settings/Calenders to Tiger?

Had to do an erase and install for Tiger but had backed-up my iCal calenders and settings.
I had a few problems with my iCal and am wondering whether I should just manually re-input all the data in the hope of not transferring the problems. Or should I just go ahead and transfer the old settings, calenders etc?
Has anyone had experience of this, and what the outcome was?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Carole,
Find the .ics files of your old calendars. Make a new calender in iCal for each old calendar. With the new calendar highlighted drag the old .ics file onto iCal. iCal will recreate your calendar - this should remove any previous corruption of the calendar.

Copy iCal settings

I am running OS X 10.6.8 on my new iMac. Need to copy from Mac OS X 10.4.9.
I want to copy my iCal settings from one compter to another in case the old one dies. I copied the settings from the old computer. Where do I find the iCal settings in OS X 10.6.8? I want to copy them elsewhere in case there is a problem and then I want to replace them with my settings from the other compyuter. I looked at the location below, which is where I found the others on the old compuuter. and don't see them.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iCal/
Thanks for your help.

Rufus9,
Are both computers running Tiger?
If these two computers have the same version of OS X, the calendar source information that you are looking for will be located in ~Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources.
The fact that your help instructions point to ~/Library/Calendars/ indicates to me that one of the computers may be running Panther.
Further details will give you a better response. I cannot verify if a drag and drop will work if you have two different systems.
I also do not know if the iCal>File>Back up Database/Revert to Database Backup feature will work under those circumstances.
In any event make sure that you have a safe/useable backup before attempting to move anything back and forth.

How do i import dates from a old iCal backup?

How do i import dates from a old iCal backup?......
Somehow when moving to iCloud, some of my old info dissapeared, but i know i have it on a old backup.
Right now there is no way to do anything except fully replace your current data with the new import.
any ideas?

No. Restoring the backup is all or nothing. You would have to back up the iPad you are restoring the backup to to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and import the recovered photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore the iTunes backup to return the iPad to its original state.
Some things to be aware of are that camera roll photos from an iPad can only be restored to another iPad. Also, Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you might want to make sure the backup is still there first (by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage).

Can you transfer your ICal from Mac Pro to your IPhone

I am just curious if you can transfer your ICal from a Mac Pro Book to you IPhone before I get my IPhone.

iCal is supported on a Mac when you sync contact info to your phone.
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
Contacts
Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

If I upgrade to AEBS from AE, can I transfer all my settings over?

I currently have an Airport Express.
If I upgrade to AEBS, can I transfer all my settings over. Do you I have to do some kind of backup to do this, or will the airport software on my computer already have my profiles saved?
The type of settings I'm talking about is the network name, type of security I want to use, the MAC addressees of devices I allow on the network, etc.
I also plug my printer into AE. If I plug it into the AEBS, should it continue to work without changing settings? It was a real pain to setup cause it's old, and the software was hard to find.
THanks.

Although both the AirPort Extreme & AirPort Express base station can store up to five profiles, these profiles are stored on the base station themselves, not on the computer...so, I'm not sure you will be able to transfer them between base stations.

Moving from PC to MAc, but want to keep all the old iTunes settings! Help!

I did this just fine, from PC to MacBook. But one problem I'm having is that my new iTunes library on the Mac is completely devoid of my old iTunes settings on my pc - my song ratings, my playlists, all the songs I've had checked and unchecked, date added, etc. Is there any way to migrate (I went from pc to mac, all the music files came over no problem) but to keep your iTunes information so you don't have to sort through all the songs all over again!!! Help!
Thanks,
Marty

Hi Martyputz,
This happened, because iTunes on a Windows doesn't really work like iTunes for Mac. Read this [article|http://lifehacker.com/software/itunes/geek-to-live--how-to-move-an-itu nes-library-from-a-pc-to-mac-and-back-242468.php] and follow carefully the instructions...
Hope this helps!

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes
I currently have an apple ID that i have used for many years of ABC. This will hold all the apps and songs etc that i have purchased over the years. So i can currently download apps from app store using the new "purchased option" from the "Cloud".
I have just set up and wish to make a new account my main account for iCloud and all purchases. This is XYZ . How do i get all the purchase history and account actions from ABC apple id, to map across to the new XYZ apple id.
My objective is to log into my iphone on itunes, app store and icloud using the new XYZ apple id, but still be able to view and download any and all previous purchases held against the ABC apple id.
Can I/Apple port this account over so all history of purchases on ABC apple id, is now held against the new XYZ apple id.
Thanks

RE all those that say it cannot be done or why do i want to or need to...
When my phone (on iOS 5) had the old/main apple ID logged in and used, the iCloud page where you can enable iCloud for apps, mail, notes etc - it would not allow me to turn on mail or notes for iCloud. Said i needed to create an iCloud/Mobileme address to use these features.
When i created new mobile/iCloud account today it worked fine for all iCloud options on my iPhone. Also, the emailed address for mobileme/icloud was more to my needs/liking.
The new mobileme/icloud ID created today cannot have my main email address added to it as it says my current/main apple id is that email address.
Any suggestions?

Transfer of global settings from ECC to APO

I know there is the 'transfer of global settings' option from within transaction RSA1 in APO to transfer units of measure, fiscal year variants etc from ECC to APO, to ensure synchronisation.
How does this actually work? For example, suppose we have 14 units of measure in ECC, but already have 16 units in APO. If we run the synchronisation transaction, what will end up in APO? Is the complete table of units replaced in APO, so we would have just 14 units?
Thanks, Bob Austin

there is some explanation to what you have mentioned in Re: Factory Calendar
this talks about calendars and is relevant till SCM 4.x
I would imagine the situation would be the same for UOM
In SCM 5 you have the option to update the tables, Rebuild the tables and also a simulation option

Also is there a way of transfer my bookmacks bar?

You can move your iTunes music Library folder to external media from the G5 to the Mavericks machine and point a modern version of iTunes at it.
I don't know what you'll have to do with your Contacts, however.

Transfer old MacBook Pro files to new Mac mini via wifi stuck

I'm going through the setup of my new Mac mini. The first thing it is having me do is transfer old data and applications via wifi from my MacBook Pro (running snow leopard) it is taking forever (over 24 hours now) and apparently stuck. How do I stop and restart the transfer using Ethernet cable or FireWire to speed up the transfer process. This is a brand new mini running some version of mountain lion. Thanks!

How are you transferring the files now?
To me the easiest, most reliable, and generally fastest method is..
With both computers powered down connect them back to back with a firewire cable
Boot the old computer into Firewire Target Disk Mode by holding down the T key during boot
Boot the new computer and the old computer should appear on the desktop as a firewire drive
On the new computer launch Migration Assistant (found in /Applictions/Utilities)
Follow MA's on screen prompts to transfer the data from another disk drive (the old computer running in Firewire Target Disk mde) This last step is best performed during the initial setup of the new computer when prompted early in the initial setup phase

There is plenty of data available on the icloud as I've not used it for anything else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

ICal settings problem.

I have an iCal settings problem. I simply cannot change the format to 12 hours. I have repeatedly set the system to 12 hours and that works fine. I have re launched iCal several times to no avail. Running system 10.6.7 and iCal is 4.0.4. Any ideas? Thanks. Geoff.

iCal takes its format from System Preferences>Language& Text>Formats.
Click on the 'Customize' button for 'Time' and set as here:
Then drag the 'PM' button in the 'Time Elements' section to after the short time - though when I tried this it didn't appear in iCal. You may need to experiment a bit.
