Migrating mail from Powerbook G4 (Tiger) to iMac (Snow Leopard)

Hello. I'm new to the forum and not tech savvy, so hope that you'll bear with me.
I've recently installed Snow Leopard on my iMac and now wish to transfer all the e-mail on my old Powerbook G4 (Tiger) to the iMac.
Any pointers on how I should go about this would be much appreciated.

Migrating iTunes from removed G4 HD to new Snow Leopard MacBook Pro...

I have set up a MBP with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 installed. I have a removed G4 HD from my Powerbook 1.67GHz former Mac. The SL does not yet have iTunes installed on the new software
Since ALL my former music is on the G4 HD, what is the best way for me to transfer it over so as not to lose that music. Do I set up the iTunes first on the SL site or just transfer it over from the G4(I guess Migration Assistant) ?
Also of note; before I installed the SL on the MBP(it was a used one and had a previous iTunes-also not set up on it), I backed up the entire HD which was Leopard 10.5.7, then erased it before the SL installation. I have that on a Time Machine backup on an external WD HD.
What is the preferred way to do this, in order of sequences ?
Really NEED to get this right the first time so I don't lose all that music...
Thanks for your help

Read this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449?viewlocale=en_US
Download iTunes and install - it is only the app - the real stuff is in the iTunes folder. Once you have moved the the iTunes Folder and open iTunes - if it is a newer version - it will take sometime to update the iTunes Lbrary - be patient.
Migration Assistant is a good option if using computer to computer. If not then an ext HD case with FW is best - IMHO.

I just finished migrating a client from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Online using the IMAP option in the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tool.
I added the mailboxes by creating a CSV file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_Mailboxes.csv] in the following format:
SourceIdentity,SourceServer,SourceLoginID,SourcePassword,TargetIdentity
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword1,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword2,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword3,[email protected]
Then I created a custom folder map XML file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_FolderMap.xml] to map the Google Apps (Gmail) labels to the appropriate Exchange (Outlook) mailbox folders and create those that didn't exist (i.e. Important, Starred, Follow up,
Misc, Priority) as sub-folders under the Inbox:

Additionally, I had to tell the Internet E-mail Mailbox Migration Wizard to use the "Individual Account Credentials" option since I was able to specify each account password in the CSV file when adding the mailboxes to Microsoft Online Services Migration
Tools console.
Just to note, the users had to manually export their contacts to a CSV file and calendars to iCal (ICS) files in order to import those items into Outlook.
I hope this will benefit others since Microsoft doesn't seem to have a custom, specifically defined migration strategy for this scenario. With Google Apps being in direct competition with BPOS/Office365, I assumed that Microsoft would have a simple
strategy using something like ActiveSync to facilitate the migration of email, contacts, calendar entries, etc. Hopefully we'll see something along those lines become available in a future release of the migration tools.

Networking imac (snow leopard) to power pc (tiger)

Trying to network my new iMAC (snow leopard) to my older Power PC (tiger). The iMAC can see the computer, however it comes up as connection failed every time I try to connect. I have other macs network to both of these computers, however there seems to be an issue with this iMAC to Power PC/TIGER.

Not that I can offer any help with the OP's problem but I also have a similar issue. In my case, I have three computers: an iMac i5 quad-core running Lion (10.7.1), a mac mini core 2 duo (the last one made just before the i5 versions) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and an iBook G4 running Leopard (10.5.8). The Lion machine and the Leopard machine can share via AFP and Screen Sharing both ways just fine. The Snow Leopard machine sees the Leopard machine and can share via AFP but gets a "connection failed" when attempting a Screen Sharing. The Leopard machine can see the Snow Leopard machine in the Finder but attempts to connect to it via AFP or Screen Sharing gets a "connection failed" message. Neither the Lion nor Snow Leopard machines see each other in Finder.
On the Lion machine I can do a manual "connect to server..." with the SL machine's IP and can get an AFP connection but only for a few minutes before a message appears on the Lion machine that says, to the effect, that the SL machine had some sort of issue and dropped the connection. The same goes for a manually started Screen Sharing session from Lion to SL.
On the Leopard machine I can also connect to the SL machine via the manual methods, but after a few moments an error message pops up on the Leopard machine that says there was a problem with the SL machine, and the connections get dropped.
On the SL machine, I cannot even connect manually to the Lion machine but can do the manual connections to the Leopard machine, that is until the connection gets dropped after a varying amount of time.
All three machines can find the HP Photosmart printer/fax/scanner that is connected to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly. The SL machine has the oft bemoaned problem with printing that everyone still seems to have problems with but the Lion and Leopard machines use the print/fax/scan device without issue. The Lion and SL machines are connected wirelessly to the AirPort Extreme; the Leopard machine uses an ethernet connection to the APExtreme. All computers and the printer have statically assigned local IPs within the assignment range of the AP Extreme.
The baffling thing about all of this is this... CrashPlan works and is backing up all of the machines to each other without issue. I don't have any other third-party networking software shared among them but it appears that only the Apple software (Finder, Screen Sharing, and the AFP protocol) seems to have a problem and it seems to be centered around the SL mac mini.
No problems existed when the mac mini (purchased late July 2011) came out of the box. It was only after the software updates took it from 10.6.4 (it's factory installed version) to 10.6.8 that these odd networking issues ensued.
Lion is expected to be installed on the SL mac mini at some point in the future but, until the users of that mini find suitable replacements for their old PPC-based software they still use on a daily basis, that upgrade is put on hold.
Any ideas on how to even begin to troubleshoot this kerfluffle? I'm tempted to wipe the HD of the mini and restore the factory 10.6.4, reinstall the apps, and copy the users' files (but not preferences, caches, etc.) back into newly created user accounts. What's stopping me is that the users of this machine do not want me to do so until such time they're ready to install Lion on it. :/
Appreciate anything that is constructive... thanks.

Can't play long voice memo after upgrading from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS

I have a voice memo that's 1.5 hrs long saved on my computer that I used to be able to play in iTunes & Quicktime, but ever since I upgraded from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS, the file will not play anymore. I tried installing quicktime 7 from the snow leopard optional installs but the file still didn't play. I also installed the VLC player which opened the file, but only played 7 minutes of it. When I try to open the file in quicktime it says that it can't play the file and that it is not a movie file, but my file is saved as a ".mov" file. Does anyone know how I can get the file to play again?

How do I send files from my IMAC via bluetooth to my new Ipad? They will not "pair" but they are connected and discoverable. I send a file from Imac snow leopard OS X 10.6 to the ipadusing bluetooth, but the failure message says the ipad does not have the necessary services. What are these? Do I neeed to have iphoto and ms word to send pix and .doc files?

File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.

After connecting my Sony camcorder to imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video the import window does not open. I have imported videos from the sam camcorder successfully before. What could have happened? Puzzled)

After connecting my Sony camcorder to Imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video to imovie 09 the import window does not open. In the past I have successfully imported videos from the same camcorder. What could have happened? Puzzled

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

Hallo,
Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
Nun zu dem Problem:
Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
Hello,
I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
The particular "configuration" is as follows:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
Now to the problem:
Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

Hi, and thank you for your reply!
My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

Go to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Details
Type apple in the search field top right corner of the window, click Done.
Quit then relaunch Safari.
Try www.me.com
And try emptying the Safari cache. Either from the Safari menu bar or Command + Option + E

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. You will need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

If have MBA (lion), imac (Snow Leopard), iphone (ios 4) will icloud sync all three?

I have a Mobile Me account. Will MBA (lion), imac (snow leopard), iphone 3s (ios 4) synch from icloud?
Thanks

At it's heart Lion is OS X. Yes it has new features and like any product you may like some and not have a use for others. The IOS desktop look alike on Lion is called Mission Control, while I've played with it I have no need for it either and rarely if ever look at it. However for someone that has used OS X for several years it's not necessary, my guess is it's designed for those that want to transition from a IOS device to a Mac.
The success of any major upgrade is in the preparation. You have done one of the first steps to see your software is up-to-date. You may want to check with the apps you use frequently and see if they have updates too. I use a free tool called AppFresh that survey's all the apps on my computer and lets me know if updates are available. You can download AppFresh from Macupdate.com if you are interested. Next make sure your computer meets Lion System requirements which are:
Mac OS X Lion System Requirements
In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM (I'd recommend 4GB or more)
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended
Once your machine has met the hardware and software requirements then you're ready to get Lion installed. As with any update again do a little preparation, I'd recommend using the suggestions in this Update Process post. This all sounds like a lot of work but it makes for a fun Saturday afternoon project if you like to tinker a bit.

I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I access all of my save Word documents? I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004). If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.
