Moving email over to my macbook pro...

ok... i'm not transfering via FW to my new MBP... i have everything backed up that i need...
EXCEPT FOR MY EMAIL...
How can I move all my old email and folders over to my new MBP?
MBP 2.16 http://www.menuserve.com/

Which email application are you using? If you're using Mail or Thunderbird, you can just copy over the data directories for these and put them in the corresponding location on your new machine. For Thunderbird, this is
~/Library/Thunderbird
for Mail, it's
~/Library/Mail
Make sure you're using the same versions on the new machine.
Another alternative is to use your mail server to do the transfer. If you're using an IMAP server, you can copy all your mail to a server-side folder ("archive", or something). Once it's on the server, just connect to the same account from the new machine and pull the mail down from the server to a local folder. OF course, this is only a reasonable option if you don't have an excessive amount of mail to move over.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. My iPhone continues to send messages from either account that I choose. My MacBook says that one of my email account outgoing mail servers is Offline? How can I get that working again?

I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone that I have been using for a few years. My phone works perfectly for both accounts. Now one of my email accounts on the MacBook says the outgoing server is Offline? How can I fix that so that both accounts send and receive email. I have tried various things in settings but nothing seems to work.

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

TS3899 How can I see again the emails sent from my MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4?

Hi. I have a iPhone 4 connected to a Yahoo email account. I used to be able to see the emails sent from the device on the sent mailbox and the emails sent from the MacBook Pro on an automatically created folder called "Sent Messages" that disappeared. I tried deleting the account and creating it again, both on the computer and on the iPhone, but the problem persists. Any idea on how I can solve this problem?

On your Mac
in your Mail App, open the folders on the left hand side, by clicking SHOW on top.
GO down, where your email acount is and unfold.
Select the SENT folder. If you cant find it, it means it's already used as your SENT folder. Skip next step.
In Mail App Menu select MAILBOX -> USE THIS MAILBOX FOR -> SENT
Maybe that does the trick?

Retrieving Email From iMac to Macbook Pro

I have an iMac in one location. I checked my email via Entourage, didn't open any, thinking it would be on my iPhone. It wasn't. So what I want to do is look at the email on Entourage from Macbook Pro which is in another location. The iMac is off. Isn't Mobile Me, which I have, able to "look" into another Mac in another location? Can I do that, if the iMac is shut down, and I'm not using Mac Mail? Any help most appreciative.

Hi Peter,
If you don't get an answer here, or want better odds, why not post in the MobileMe forum?

Will the email client on my MacBook Pro remove mail from my Exchange 2003 in order to receive it?

I just received my new MacBook Pro yesterday and I have an Exchange 2003 server that I would like to work with the email client. now I know some email clients in certain modes will download the mail from the mail server removing it from there at the same time. My question is will the email client remove the mail from the server in order to receive it? I want the mail to remain in the mailbox so I will still have it available at my office later. I am honestly not certain what version of OS X it is, and I don't have it handy, but I just bought it last week. Thanks!

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that fails:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Moving photos from iPhoto in macbook pro to new iMac

We recently got a new iMac. Pumped to move photos from 13" Macbook Pro to huge iMac, right? Well this has been quite a crazy effort! So far, here is what I have tried unsuccessfully:
1) Moving iPhoto library (from the icon) to external hard drive and then moving that file onto the computer. I cannot get it to move from the hard drive into my photo folder on the iMac. I tried to just click it and upload the pictures but then only about half of a size of each photo shows up and is really screwed up.
2) Tried by bluetooth (93gb). Just froze up the Macbook Pro program trying to do that.
3) Tried sharing wireless connection
4) Tried hooking up an ethernet cord between the two.
What I run into over and over is that I cannot click and drag the iPhoto Library icon over to my iMac.
So any ideas? Initially did all photo files over but it made two and three copies of each of them and my research of this has said to use the iPhoto Library icon.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I may have just figured out part of the problem. I was having trouble dragging files and discovered others were having the same problems through these forums. Restarted the computer and bam...I can drag the file now! Thought I was going to go crazy. We'll see if this works ultimately.
Thanks Larry

HT1277 My ICloud was hacked. So the email box on my Macbook Pro isn't working at all. However, I can use it when I login to ICLOUD and my IPhone. Why will it still not work on my laptop. Help please!

Hi,
My ICloud was hacked. So I updated my password and now have my Iphone and the Icloud online email working. Yet the email set up on my Macbook Pro still will not work and I ran through the troubleshooting. It has ICloud IMAP. Can someone please help me with this?
Thank you.

First, a caution: Do not retry passwords. Trying random passwords or wrong passwords more than (usually) twice, and that'll usually trip evasion, and you'll get blocked even with the right passwords. If you've retried random passwords, you'll have to let things "cool off" for a while, and try again later.
Open up the details drawer in the Mail.app Connection Doctor troubleshooting, and re-run the connection tests. Expurgate anything sensitive from the diagnostics, and post the iCloud-related errors here.
Alternatively, remove the iCloud account from the accounts listed within Mail.app. Re-add it. See if that clears the issue.
Alternatively and if the other options here fail, contact Apple iCloud support directly and request assistance.

I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

Greetings,
After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years. Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides. Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
David

David,
Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
Which external devices/equipment do you currently have to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.

How do i sync photos from iphone over icloud to macbook pro?

I am totally confused as to why photos taken on my iphone or ipad do not sync over icloud to my MacBook Pro.
If I sync manually I end up with everything else such as calendar and contacts duplicated.
How can I get the photos to sync over icloud?

Photos taken on one device will sync to all devices via photo stream providing that all the devices are logged into the same iCloud account and photo stream is enabled on each of those devices.
