Organizing mail after copying to new mac?

I copied mail from one mac to another by copying the "Mail" folder from
homedirectory/Library/Mail
When I open Mail on the other mac, all of my mail shows up in a "Import" folder. How do I get everything to just display in my main inbox?
Thanks.

I've just solved the problem:
Copied from the old Mac:
Library/Mail
Libary/Mail Downloads
Libary/Containers/com.apple.mail
Hope this helps other people.
Regards, J

Problem After Copying to New Mac

Hi, Everyone...
I followed the instructions to manually transfer all my files from my old Mac (Tiger) to my new one (Leopard), including the Calendar files. However, when I open iCal on the new Mac, none of my events or other settings are showing up! I have a LOT of stuff in there and don't want to have to recreate it all from scratch!
How do I get the new version to show my old Calendar data?
Thanks so much!

Thanks Preran, I chatted using that chat box & was forwarded to the instilation team.
They sugested downloading the CS3 Design Premium software for a fresh start but the link they gave me wouldn't accept my login, maybe because I bought though a University who has an account there.
They told me: CS3 hasn't been tested with Mountain Lion...
I tried launching Bridge & that worked OK.
I thought about trashing all the apps ...
But I didn't
I tried putting in the intall disc & re-installing over the old version.
I just installed the 2 apps I had already installed & shared componets.
They( PS & DW) now seem to be working fine so far, didn't ask for any serial number at all.
Just had to delete & add browers again in DW.
So seems to working OK.
If anyone is in same position I'm not sure if the clean tool is the way to go.
Mabe it helped in long run but at 1st it just made it so I couldn't use the apps. at all.
Thanks for being here, that did help.

Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download an installer from here:

Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Then download and install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) updater.

After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen ...

After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen and I can't seem to find a way to get it so that it pops up in the middle of the screen or anywhere else where I can see the whole thing.

This is a known bug which began to occur with the 10.4.8 update. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple. Its quite annoying and hopefully, the more people who contact Apple about it, the more importance they will give to fixing the problem.

After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

Mail messages missing after copying to new folder

I am recovering some email messages and have imported the mbox into a new folder. It contains 8860 messages.
When I copy these messages to the inbox, about 750 messages do not copy over. There is no warning that the file copy is incomplete.
Also If I try to export the mailbox, not all of the mail message are exported.
It seems very difficult to find out what is causing the problem.
I had already rebuilt the mailbox before attempting to copy it to the inbox folder.
Anyone have any experience with mail messages going missing files after copying them to a new folder within mail?

"Extended Photo Info" lost/invisible after migration to new Mac with 10.6.2

I just migrated my iPhoto library to my new Mac running OSX 10.6.2 from a Mac running OSX 10.3 I did this by copying the "Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder to an external drive. Today I tried to use "Show Extended Photo Info", and information appears to be lost? There is no Camera or Exposure information. I re-imported a photo from an old e-mail, and it does have the information! Do the Event/Location/Face features cause this to be deleted from my photos? I used these feature a lot before noticing anything was wrong.
Any ideas? Can I somehow check to see if the JPEG file still has the information? It is not too late to re-do the library import. I cannot live without the exposure information, as I like to play with my camera settings.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. After copying the library to the external HD did you open it directly with iPhoto? When iPhoto 09 converted that library to the latest version it would not have done anything to lose the EXIF data which is stored in the library's database files.
You didn't import that library into a new library did you? If you didn't then try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

Hi rustyg12,
Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
Fire up DW. See if it works.

Files not found after migration to new Mac

Hi,
On my old Mac, under Snow Leopard, my installation was complete and everything worked fine.
Then, when I bought a new Mac (with Mountain Lion installed) I had to use Migration Assistant to restore my Time Machine Backup, which included my Logic Pro installation.
Now when I try to use Logic Pro I often get these "Audio file ... not found!" messages (see example).
How can I fix this?
Many thanks!

Thanks for the link! Instead of un-installing and re-installing everything, I noticed that in GarageBand (which I normally don't use) there was an update/additional download available. After doing it I noticed that this had fixed nearly all missing-audio-file-problems in Logic Pro: when checking for missing instruments by creating a new instruments project everything was complete again on 2 of our 4 Macs (pre 2012 models) -- on the other 2 Macs (late 2012 models) only the following 3 ( ! ) files are missing:
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/...
.../Seventies Kit/DC Tit Hat 08.aif
      (of EXS24 Instrument "Seventies Kit.exs")
.../Liverpool Bass/IL Btl Bass bomb 08.aif
      (of EXS24 Instrument "Liverpool Bass.exs")
.../Steinway Grand Piano/Steinway Pedal V1/Stw ped v1 024.AIF
      (of EXS24 Instrument "Steinway Piano.exs")
So we copied the 3 missing files into the same directories on the 2 newer Macs, but it seems Logic doesn't "see" them and therefore still says that they are missing:
How can I help Logic to find these files?

IPhoto library will not copy to new mac

I am trying to move my iPhoto library from my hard drive backup (time machine) to my new MacBook Pro.
I open a finder window for my new macs pictures folder and one for the hard drive.
I delete the new library and then drag the back up library to its place..
The file copy window pops up shortly but no transfer takes place before it closes and an icon appears, it does not look like a library icon, more like an empty sheet..
when I open Iphoto no photos are there...
Why can't I copy my library?? It shows a 7.5 GB size and I did not get any warnings that the backup had a problem after backing up.. I'm lost....

To move an iPhoto library you must have a complete operating iPhoto library - if you have one on your old computer then Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
If you do not have a good complete operating library then restore it to the old system, test it and drag it across

Time Machine after migration to new Mac

So, I just got a new Mac, and used the option to copy settings and files from a Time Machine volume to the new machine. Now that everything's run, though, I can't use Time Machine to backup the new Mac -- it says "Volume not found". I've Googled a bit, but most of the troubleshooting seems to assume that the drive is missing or won't mount -- the drive is there, but the Time Machine software won't use it.
What are my options here?

Hi VK
A supplementray question:
I have one i-mac happily backing up with Time Machine to an external hard drive.
I have just bought a second i-mac (stops the fighting!) and propose to use migration assistant to move my [admin] account from the old to the new i-mac leaving two other accounts on the old one. I see from your posts that it seems as if Time Machine will start a new back up series for the new i-mac's back ups. But what about the old i-mac? Will that continue to extend the existing Time Machine back up files, albeit without my transferred account and its files? If so, should I partition the external drive and start the new back ups from the new i-mac on this new partition. I'd like to end up with the old i-mac continuing to build its Time Machine back ups (less my account and its files) and have a new back up series from the new i-mac building to a separate partition on the external drive.
Does this make sense? I can't see an answer in the forum to what must be a reasonably common issue in this expandin mac world.

Multi-Mapping Error after copying into new namespace

Hi everybody,
we got a BPM running using a multi-mapping.
We decided to design new namespaces. After copying every IR object (datatype, message-type, mappings etc.) --> SXMB_MONI shows a mapping-error.
But when I take the payload and test the mapping, everything is fine?
Any ideas?
Regards Mario

Hi,
If your payload has Messages tab remove that..and test the payload.
Payload doesn't have any Messages tab.
Just i have given example payload..this payload two strucures it will split into twofiles..and compare your payload should be like same
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<STRUCTURE>
<EMP_DETAILS>
   <EMPNO>123<EMPNO>

After migrating to new mac, email folders are lost.

I used Migration Assistant to transfer files and data from my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Air. Everything seems to have transferred just fine, except for my email folders. I have tried plugging in Time Machine to restore them from my backups on my old mac, but the new mac doesn't recognize backups on the old one, so I can't access it through Time Machine while in the mail program. So then I tried searching for my mail files, which (according to what I've read) should be in Library/Mail, but I have no Mail folder that I can find by that path (or, really, by any other). I believe both macs are running Mountain Lion.

That Library folder is actually the one in your home folder, which is hidden. You can view it by clicking the Go menu in Finder while holding the Option key down - you'll then see a shortcut to Library.
The mail is held in ~/Library/Mail/V2, inside folders named for each mail account. You should be able to use the File - Import Mailboxes menu in Mail to retrieve them.
