Move my Entourage mail from my old iMAC to Mac Mail on my new iMac

Or is there a way to centralize (on one computer on the home network) everyone's mail, and multimedia so I can back them all up effectively?
Thanks.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

How do I move mail from an old server to a new server?

I am rebuilding my server. The new server runs on OS X 10.9.4 with Server 3.1.2. The old server ran OS X 10.9.x and Server 3.x (the exact versions are not known).
Within the folder /Library/Server/Mail, I found the email stores for both systems. I have gone through each folder and identified the 36 character string that serves to identify the user's mailbox and paired each one to a user id on both systems. On the old system, there are multiple mailboxes for some users, and I think it is a result of the users being deleted and recreated: perhaps the system identified the identical name and assumed that the user might be different and therefore created a unique 36 character id for the mail system.
The trick is, I am trying to recover the mail from the old server.
I have attempted to copy the files which are human readable and formatted for SMTP transmission to the new server under the correct mailbox corresponding to the owning user (see screen shots below). The simple act of copying the files has not made these files visible via the IMAP protocol. I have tried restarting the mail service hoping that the Server app would rebuild whatever indexes need to be built so that the mail can be served via IMAP, and that has not worked either.
The question is, how do I get the mail from the old server mail boxes into the new server mailboxes?
This screen shot shows the location of one mail collection at /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/[userid]. Mail sits in the "new" folder only for a moment before being processed and put into the "cur" folder. Copying mail from the old server into the "new" folder produces an empty "new" folder, but one can see the files populate briefly before they are moved into the "cur" folder.
The next screen shot shows one email opened in TextEdit. The format should look very familiar. This is the same format that one would use to send SMTP requests to an SMTP server. This particular example happens to be an email from a Gmail account to the PediatricHeartCenter.org domain to test the mail system when the old server was set up. It was sent on 24 Jan 2014 and had text reading "Intended for Mavericks1. -Jared".

On further research, I have learned that OS X Server sets Dovecot to use the MailDir format. The email messages can be removed from the folders and put back, and as long as they were present in the folder to begin with (received by Dovecot originally), they reflect in the Mail.app on client computers. Deleting a file in the "cur" folder causes the file to disappear in Mail.app. Copying the file back into the "cur" folder will cause the file to reappear without any modification of an index file or any other system component, as long as the file was properly formatted by Dovecot to be identifiable to that folder.
According to Dovecot.org's review of MailDir found here (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Ma,ilboxFormat/Maildir), the file name can be broken into simple pieces: " [unixtimestamp].[process id].[hostName],S=<message size>,W=<virtual message size>/2,[status tags]". The original MailDir++ specification requires the string ":2," to appear after the virtual size, but this file naming format is not legal in Mac OS X, so Dovecot is modified by Apple to use "/2," instead.
The Dovecot's wiki describes inserting new messages as follows:
Mail delivery
Qmail's how a message is delivered page suggests to deliver the mail like this:
Create a unique filename (only "time.pid.host" here, later Maildir spec has been updated to allow more uniqueness identifiers)
Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If the stat() found a file, wait 2 seconds and go back to step 1.
Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
link() it into new/ directory. Although not mentioned here, the link() could again fail if the mail existed in new/ dir. In that case you should probably go back to step 1.
All this trouble is rather pointless. Only the first step is what really guarantees that the mails won't get overwritten, the rest just sounds nice. Even though they might catch a problem once in a while, they give no guaranteed protection and will just as easily pass duplicate filenames through and overwrite existing mails.
Step 2 is pointless because there's a race condition between steps 2 and 3. PID/host combination by itself should already guarantee that it never finds such a file. If it does, something's broken and the stat() check won't help since another process might be doing the same thing at the same time, and you end up writing to the same file in tmp/, causing the mail to get corrupted.
In step 4 the link() would fail if an identical file already existed in the maildir, right? Wrong. The file may already have been moved to cur/ directory, and since it may contain any number of flags by then you can't check with a simple stat() anymore if it exists or not.
Step 2 was pointed out to be useful if clock had moved backwards. However again this doesn't give any actual safety guarantees, because an identical base filename could already exist in cur/. Besides if the system was just rebooted, the file in tmp/ could probably be even overwritten safely (assuming it wasn't already link()ed to new/).
So really, all that's important in not getting mails overwritten in your maildir is the step 1: Always create filenames that are guaranteed to be unique. Forget about the 2 second waits and such that the Qmail's man page talks about.
The process described by the QMail man page referenced above suggests that as long as a file is placed in the "new" folder, that a mail reader can access it. The mail reader then moves the file to the "cur" folder and "cleans up" the "new" folder. This is clearly happening in OS X, because the messages are moving from "new" to "cur", but IMAP is still not serving these foreign messages to the remote readers.
The thought crossed my mind that perhaps it is the fact that the host name does not match, which would cause the failure, however changing the "host" portion of the name from the old-server to the new-server did not fix the issue. Even with the new server name in the file name, the inserted message fails to appear in client Mail applications.
Within the file their is header information that still references the old machine. I'd like to not have to change the email files, because this will violate the integrity of the message. Also, this might take a lot of time or incur risks associated with poor automated processing. The header information should not be referenced by Dovecot, because the wiki page describing MailDir notes that neither Dovecot nor Dovecot's implementation of IMAP refers to the messages header information when moving and serving these mail files.
Unlike when using mbox as mailbox format, where mail headers (for example Status, X-UID, etc.) are used to determine and store meta-data, the mail headers within maildir files are (usually) notused for this purpose by dovecot; neither when mails are created/moved/etc. via IMAP nor when maildirs are placed (e.g. copied or moved in the filesystem) in a mail location (and then "imported" by dovecot). Therefore, it is (usually) not necessary, to strip any such mail headers at the MTA, MDA or LDA (as it is recommended with mbox).
This paragraph leads me to believe that after the mail box is identified that the content of the file becomes irrelevant to the system which manages. This suggests that we should be able to inject messages into a mailbox and have the system serve them as though they had belonged in that mailbox all along. Yet I have not found a way to do this.

I need to move email from windows notebook, outlook to mac mail on my new macbook pro

i need to move email from windows notebook-outlook to mac
mail? need help?

Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details. I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud. Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough). I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow.

How do I move my iTunes files from an old computer (Windows XP) to a new one (Windows 7 Professional)?

Can anyone tell me how to move my iTunes music and book files from an old computer running Windows XP to my new one running Windows 7 Professional? Do I download and install iTunes on the new system then use the backup and restore functions? If so, it looks like the backup only goes to CDs or DVDs; there are so many files that using a USB drive would make more sense, but that does not appear to be an option. Would it work to simply copy the iTunes folder under My Music to the new computer and assume that iTunes would find it? Thank you, very much, for any help and guidance.

How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

Hi there,
How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
Thanks!

Hi cialbert,
Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe. You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
Best,
Sara

HT4847 How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of iCloud but not delete it?

How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of icloud and onto my own storage device? I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to keep it in iCloud

Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
I am not sure what you mean by:
It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you.

Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases.

Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.

i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
Thanks in advance for the tips.

Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
Get these folders from the XP machine
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
And put them here on the W7 machine
C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.

Migrating from old G4 15-inch Flat Panel to new iMac 24-inch 2.16GHz

Just purchased a refurbed 24" iMac with 2.16GHz core duo from Apple. Currently work on 15-inch flat panel 800MHz PowerPC G4 iMac using 10.2.8. Main applications are Photoshop v.7.0.1, Final Draft 6, and Office v.10.1.8. All important data is archived on three external OWC Mercury firewire drives. What is the most efficient, least problematic way to migrate? Or am I better off avoiding migration, installing latest Intel-friendly Photoshop, Office, and Final Draft software, and dragging select image files, and documents from external drives to new desktop? Also, how can I easily transfer my old iTunes/iPhoto/iMovie libraries over to new iMac from external drives without doing a migration? Thanks!
iMac G4 Flat Panel 15" Mac OS X (10.2.x)

May I recommend familiarizing yourself with Kappy's migrating advice;
