Move emails between OSX 10.4 and OSX 10.8

I'm trying to move my old emails and address book from my old computer which is running OSX 10.4 to my new one with OSX 10.8. Migration assistant doesn't work with 10.4 since it's too old, any ideas on how it can be done? Greatful for all help!

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

Can I copy emails between an IMAP account and an Exchange account, via Apple Mail client?

If I have an IMAP account configured in my Apple Mail client profile, and then I also add an Exchange 2010 Server account to that same profile, can I use the Apple Mail client to copy folders and messages from my IMAP account, into my mail store on the Exchange Server account?

Pop mail accounts must be set up to 'leave messages on the server'.
check this before using.
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
or
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
select: 'leave messages on the server'
optional: select: 'for at most xx days' this will delete anything older than specified number of days select 'Until I delete them' when you delete an email it will be deleted off the server.
click on Ok to save settings.
Pop mail accounts only look at Inbox and download whatever has not been previously downloaded regardless of whether it has been read or not. They cannot access nor download from any other folder on the server.
If you wanted to download emails in other fodlers, you would have to move emails into the Inbox in order to download them and this may not be very practical in your situation.
What you can do is synchronize your IMAP folders to get a copy downloaded to your IMAP mail account.
Then go into 'offline' mode to stop any further synchronizing as synchronized folders do get updated.
MozBackup tool could now be used to backup the Profile as synchronising created mbox files which contain emails.
You can also do the following to get a copy outside of the IMAP mail account:
Create the same folders in 'Local Folders'.
Then right click on email and 'copy to' and select Local Folders and the folder you require.
Putting a copy in Local Folders means these emails are also on your computer and they are not influenced by anything you do in the IMAP folders.
You would need to backup emails in these folders.

Unable to move emails between folders in mail in its 5

Since upgrading to ios 5 I have found that I am unable to bulk move emails from the sent folder to another folder. I'm in construction so my sent folder has emails concerning about 30 projects, during down time I used to search the sent emails by one or two words then bulk move them to another folder. Under ios 5 I have been unable to do this. Is there a fix or is this something apple is aware of? This is on an exchange account and moving one email at a time works fine.
Also is there a better mail app than the standard one? Overall it's kind of anemic.

Hi James,
According to your description, it seems like this is a client-side issue more than exchange issue.
However, I also recommend you refer to the following methods to troubleshoot the issue and it may help us to narrow down the issue:
1. Try to create two new folders and move again
2. Try to recreate outlook profile
3. Try upgrading outlook 2010 to latest version
4. Try to move the mailbox to another database

Move emails between accounts

Hi!
I tried finding a solution for this but I couldn't. If it's somewhere in this forum, please, I would be very thankful if I could get a link to it :)
I've been using Thunderbird since years and I'm really happy with it but I must admit there's a lot I don't know. I can't make filters works for instance, no matter how many times I follow the tutorial etc.
But this time I have a question. I want to delete an old email. I drag and dropped the emails I want to save to another account. In fact to a folder I created under "inbox" in another account (is that a local folder? or will I find it in my Gmail account?).
I wanted to know if it's safe to delete the account now or if, when I do it, all the emails I have copied to this folder will go away. I read I should create a local folder but I don't know if I already did that. Also, can't I use a folder on my new Gmail account so I can access those mail anywhere?
Thank you so much for baring with my dumb questions! ;)

They should be fine in your gmail account. I do the same all the time. The only advice I'd offer is to move ''messages'' , not ''folders''. I've heard of users moving folders only to find they are still connected to the original account, despite having been moved to a different account.
I am assuming the gmail account uses IMAP. This is a prerequisite for your wish to see them from "anywhere".
When we say a local folder, we mean the Local Folders account in Thunderbird. It's useful for saving messages independently of any particular email account, so can be useful if you intend to close an account and keep its messages, or want to save messages yet delete them from the server.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders
However, Local Folders won't suit your requirement to "access those mail anywhere", since, by definition it is Local and stored on your computer's storage media. In contrast, messages in IMAP-connected email accounts are stored on the server, with temporary copies shown in your email client.
May I make a suggestion? When you start to write "email", ask yourself if you mean an account, or a message, or something else. So, I have interpreted~:
"I want to delete an old email. I drag and dropped the emails I want to save to another account."
as
"I want to delete an old email account. I drag and dropped the email messages I want to save to another (email) account."
Please advise if I have misunderstood.

Sync email between Outlook 2010 (PC) and Outlook 2011 (Mac)

I have a PC running Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2010 (which includes Outlook 2010).
I currently use Outlook 2010 on the PC for my email.
I also have a Mac running Lion 10.7.3 and Office 2011 (which includes Outlook 2011).
Before iCloud there did not seem to be a way I could share my Outlook email (2010 and 2011 versions) between the PC and iMac.
I now wonder if I can do this via iCloud and would appreciate any guidance/limitations associated with setting this up etc.
Thanks in advance.

You can connect your iCloud email ([email protected]) to Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2011. Is that what you are after?
Or are you wanting to do this with another email provider?

Move Focus Between Worksheet Edit Area and Results Pane

Hi,
Is there a keyboard shortcut key to move focus into Worksheet Edit Area and the Results Tab for the SQL wroksheet ? (not using Mouse)
When I run the query in SQL worksheet I have to mouse click on the one of the cells in the Results grid and then scroll to check the resulting records (and vice versa to edit the query), instead if there is a keyboard shortcut that could be used to move focus would increase the efficiency.
I tried searching for it but could not find any.
Thanks

Hi Jim,
I have Version 1.5.4 installed and when I do a ctrl-tab I get the following options:
Worksheet1
Connections
Files
Reports
Extended Search
SQL History
I do not see the Results option, (Results tab in the worksheet1). Let me know if I am not doing it the right way.
I am looking for a keyboard key using which I can switch my cursor between the worksheet(where we type queries) and its results tab.
Pressing F9 runs the query and displays the output in the Results tab but the cursor still remains in the typing area and to browse the records one has to use the mouse and click on one of the record in the results tab

Unable to move webparts between zones in chrome and Firefox

Hi Everybody,
I have created publishing site in sharepoint 2013, and no customization is done. Master page is applied - Seattle.master
Issues found - Moving webpart between different zones in webpart page is not working in chrome and firefox.
Steps-
1. Edit the webpart page.
2. Add one webpart.
3. Move or drag the webpart to other zones.
Issue - It is working fine in IE-10, but not working in chrome and firefox.
Kindly help me, if this is the Out of the box sharepoint2013 limitation for chrome and firefox. Or is there any alternate solution.
Thanks.

Hi Swapmil,
Choose "Edit Page" from the Site Actions menu, you can then drag web parts between web part zones. But this only works in Internet Explorer.
In other browsers you don't have drag, but you can edit the web parts and choose a new zone for it.
Refer to the following link:

Best way to move date between LabVIEW 7.1 and 2010

We have a large LabVIEW based control and data acquisition system that for reasons beyond the scope of this post is at and needs to stay at LabVIEW version 7.1 for the forseeable future... We are soon to add a camera diagnostic to this system that, again for reasons beyond the scope of this post, needs to be written in LabVIEW 2010... The 2010 piece of code will run and need to receive some information such as shot number, when to trigger, etc. from the 7.1 side of the system... Then after a shot has occurred and a camera image has been acquired, the 2010 code will do some on the fly processing of this image and within a few seconds will need to send back some results data to the 7.1 side...
The 7.1 code uses a tag engine approach to sharing data among different codes running on different machines... I think now that more modern versions of LabVIEW use a shared variable approach... But I need to communicate as I've described above between the two versions, 7.1 and 2010 (or it could be 2011 if that would offer some advantage)...
I'm new at this moving of data between versions like this so if something could offer some advice, especially if there is some tutorial information on this topic, that would be much appreciated... Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to offer... thanks... bob...

It really depends if your tag engine like communication approach is a home brown solution or something like the LabVIEW DSC engine. If homebrown and well written you should be able to reuse the client library part of it in newer LabVIEW versions without to many hassles. If it is LabVIEW DSC it may be a bit more complicated since the only means to share DSC tags in version 7.1 was as far as I can remember their proprietary TCP/IP tag interface, which was replaced in newer versions with he shared variable engine.

Data transfer between OSX 10.9 and WIN 7 stops

Hello,
Unfortunately, I have a problem with the data sharing through SMB.
I can connect easily to my Mac and see shared folders or data. But in attempting to copy files from Mac to Win 7 PC there is an error. The data transfer is terminated after a while. The file used in the test is an MKV with the size of 1.34 GB.
The Mac is accessed from a Win 7 PC with administrator privileges. The systems are connected via Wi-Fi 802.11 n.
The exchange of data between OSX in use of SMB or AFP works without any problems.
Maybe someone has a solution or a tip for me.
regards

Sync iCal between OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8

In what ways can iCal be synced between OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8?
Can iCal 2.0.5 be installed on OSX 10.5.8 so both OS run the same version of iCal?
If so, how?
Can iCal Calendars be moved to an external drive, and both iCal installs pointed to same location?
From OSX10.5.8, I've copied files in ~/Library/Calendars/
to a folder on the external drive, then pointing OSX10.5.8 ~/Library/Calendars/ to the external drive folder.
As far as I can tell, iCal works fine, and I've deleted and edited calendars.
I then pointed OSX10.4.11 ~/Library/Calendars/ and OSX10.4.11 ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ to the same calendar folder on the external drive.
Different calendars displayed in iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11 than on OSX10.5.8 and kept reappearing after deleting and restarting iCal 2.0.5.
I deleted 10.4.11 ~/Library/Calendars/ after finding reference indicating that iCal on OSX10.4.11 has different structure with data stored at ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ instead of at ~/Library/Calendars/ on OSX10.5.8
(I must have mistakenly thought there was a ~/Library/Calendars/ folder in iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11)
I then deleted all the calendars from iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11 except one which would not allow deletion, and they remained deleted after shutting down and restarting iCal 2.0.5, but calendars stored on external drive still do not appear in iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11
Calendar .ics exports from iCal on 10.5.8 can be imported to iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11, but they do not retain structure.
Data from several calendars get mixed up together for some reason.
Any suggestions on how to get the two versions of iCal synced?
I have 2 drive partitions that I use and need to be able to share calendars between the OSX versions.

Hello.
Most MacBooks can run at least 10.6, some can run 10.7 needed for iCloud.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they might still have it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

Midi Networksession between OSX 10.3.9 and 10.4.11

Hi,
does anyone know if there is a workaround to make a Midi networksession between
OSX 10.4.11 with midi-configuration 2.1.1 on an iMac CoreDuo and
OSX 10.3.9 with midi-configuration 2.0 on a G5 via port 5004 possible?
Thx

Sorry, TKIP is the actual encryption protocol used. Vendors typically advertise that a device can support WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption. These are actually standards. The WPA standard allows for the use of TKIP for encryption; whereas, WPA2 allows for both TKIP and the much stronger AES (or more correctly CCMP) encryption.
Configuring your wireless router for encryption differs slightly which each manufacturer. For example to employ TKIP encryption on an Apple AirPort, you would select the WPA Personal option. For non-Apple routers, this same option may be called WPA w/PSK. Some vendors also offer the additional option of selecting the encryption protocol (TKIP or AES) as well.

HT3819 how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

Share iTunes Library between on same Mac between OSX & Parallels WinXP

Does anyone know if its possible to somehow share my iTunes library on my MacPro (10.5.4) between both my Mac OS, and also with my Parallels Windows XP OS, which is installed on the same computer?
I'd like to be able to take advantage of some of the various software utilities (tagging, etc...) that are available for the Window version of iTunes, but not for the Mac...and seeing as how altering the tags of my iTunes music would be one of the things on my agenda if I can share my iTunes Library between my Mac-OS and my Virtual-XP-OS, I just want to be absolutely certain that to avoid potentially screwing things up by changing meta tags and other information (album art, etc...) via iTunes on my XP virtual machine, such that the changes made wouldn't be recognized when I next open iTunes on my Mac...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

I have a Macbook Pro with Vista and OSX via bootcamp and my iTunes runs from the same set of files. I haven't bothered to test this out in a virtual pc environment, but I would assume it would work.
Now, I am not entirely familiar with Parallels, but I imagine that all you have to do is select your Mac library data as the a new library for your Windows iTunes.
To do this:
Boot windows XP in Parallels
Hold down the shift key, then open iTunes with that key still held.
This will prompt you to select an iTunes library.
Simply browse for your Library data file for Mac OSX (By default this is under user\music\iTunes\iTunes Library) It may appear as a .itl file.
Select this and your iTunes libraries should remain in sync with each other despite edits in different OS's. After any edits are made on a different OS, iTunes will simply run a quick update bar when booting to resync.
