    Generally Mugration Assistant will suffice importing all Data ito a new user, but you can manually import it...
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)

  • I'm upgrading from iPad2 to iPad air.  how can I transfer all my data and apps from one to the other?

    Hi, I'm upgrading from my iPad2 to the iPad Air.  What is the most painless way to transfer all my data from one device to another?
    I have iannotate, which I've just found out is no longer syncing via iCloud (I thought that's what I was paying all that storage for) and a lot of catalogued PDF's on it.  Is there any other way besides plugging it in to my old Mac via iTunes to do the transfer?

    Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

  • How can I transfer all my data including SMS to my mac/windows computer?

    My friend has asked me to help her transfer all the data from her iPhone 3GS to a computer then to a hard drive. She has several folders with pictures in but image capture on mac is only picking up the one. I have an iPhone 4S and iPad 3 installed already on iTunes so don't want to accidentally erase her phone.
    She also needs some of the SMS messages taking off of her phone and saving either as they are or in some form of text file so they are readable in the future.
    How can I retrieve all this data including the messages without losing anything and can it be done for free?
    If you need anymore info please just ask and I'll try and pass it on to the best of my (limited) knowledge.
    Thanks in advance!

    SHe can also do a backup of her phone and it will save the text message, but she won't be able to view the text unless she restores to the backup.

  • HT4946 How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.

    How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.

    First you need to authorize your MBA with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. This will transfer/copy all iTunes content on your iPad that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    Photos on your iPad that were transferred from your old computer need to be transferred from your old computer to your MBA.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal if you aren't syncing this content over the air with an iCloud account, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your MBA. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your MBA with iPhoto or the Image Capture application.

    How can I transfer all my downloaded music from my I phone to my computer, even music that is not purchased but is from CDs

    There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • I plan to upgrade from an iPad 2 - 16gh to an iPad2 - 64gh.  How can I transfer all my data to the new iPad?

    How can I transfer all my apps & data from an iPad 2 - 16g to an iPad 2 - 64g?

    Transfer your purchases of the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, then backup up the iPad by right-clicking it under 'Devices' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords on the new iPad.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

    Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

    Hi Vanessa,
    There are two ways to solve your problem.
    1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
    2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
    Hope this helps

  • HT1296 I am trying to transfer all of my music, photos, movies and apps from my IPAD to a new computer I just purchased for home use.  Currently I have been using a work computer.  How can I do this?

    I got a new computer for home and I am trying to transfer all of my music, movies, photos and apps from my IPAD.  I have been using my work computer ofr this in the past but want to change to my new home computer.  I can't figure out how to do this without erasing everything from it.

    This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
    Syncing with new computer
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • HT1473 My ipod classic is connected to my macbook air 13. Can I transfer my photos across to the macbookair

    I Wish to transfer all my photos from an ipod classic to my MacBook Air.

    I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
    Does this make any sense?
    You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
    Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
    Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
    **** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
    For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
    Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
    Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
    ---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
    Hope this helps.
