Previous recipients - from old computer?

Is it possible to copy the 'Previous Recipients' file from my old G$ running OS 10.3.9 to my new Mac Mini with Leopard?
I am always being asked by my Boss to send an e-mail to 'that person who sent us one last year'. Since I probably never put that person into my Address Book, I rely a lot on the Previous Recipients list to fill in the blanks.
Please, someone, save my sanity (and save me from clumping my Boss next time he asks me that) - tell me how!
Thanks!

If the old machine is still available, why not move the ones you want from Previous Recipients to Address Book, gather them into a group, and export the group for to import on the new machine?

  • Moving Previous Recipients from old Mac to new Mac??

    I set up my new MacBook using the Mac Set Up Assistant copying all the information from my MacBookPro. It looks like 95%+ was transferred perfectly. Both Mac's use OS X 10.5.4.
    One thing that did not transfer was the Previous Recipients in Mail. All the accounts transferred, all the old mail transferred and even the SPAM filters transferred. But not the Previous Recipient list.
    I have a large number of Previous Recipients that I don't really want to have Address Book vCards for, but I do want to be able to search for their e-mail addresses when I need to send something out.
    Does any one know:
    1- Where the Previous Recipient file is kept?
    2- Is there any special concerns in transferring that file to my new MacBook?
    Thanks

    that file should have transfered. that list is kept in homdirectory/library/application support/address book/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr. If it didn't transfer for some reason, transfer it by hand. there are no problems with doing that.

    new computer,  want keep ipod music from old computer to new?

    Hi mtscott41,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have music on an iPod from your old computer. You now have a new computer but do not want to have the music from the iPod erased when you sync to the new computer. If the music on your iPod was purchased from iTunes you can either transfer those purchases from the iPod to your new computer’s iTunes Library or you can download the previously purchased content directly to your iTunes Library from iTunes. Please use the following article as reference for transferring purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    The following article will show you how to download all of your previous purchases directly to iTunes if you would like to proceed this way.
    Download past purchases

    If the music on your iPod was not purchased from iTunes and you still have the old computer, you may want to use a process called Home Sharing to transfer that content to your new computer. The following article explains Home Sharing.

    I hope this helps,

  • Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?

    I am trying to get my old library onto my new computer and the best way for me to do that is take them off of my I Phone 3gs and "transfer purchases" but when I try it the "authorize this computer " shows up and it is already authorized! So I still give my info, and it tells me this computer is already authorized and then does nothing. It keeps going on like that, it's a frustrating circle!

    Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?
    You can very easily.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTUnes folder from old computer to new computer.

  • How to copy all the data from old computer to new computer (server)

    Dear all,
    As I want to upgrade the server from old computer to a new one.
    I want to ask how and easy way to copy all of table, sequence, ......data from existing old computer to new computer.
    The old server is window 2000 Server with oracle 10g
    The new server may window 2003 Server with oracle 10g
    Thanks a lot
    Francis SZE

    As far as I can see you are copying from db10g for windows to another host on the same platform and same OS, so a simple cold backup taken from the source database can be restored at the target host. You must first make sure the configuration files and service be created prior to performing the database startup procedure at the target host. You may also as suggested, perform an rman duplication task

  • Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

    new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
    old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
    Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

  • How do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    how do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
    There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
    The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
    First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
    Make sure that box is checked.
    Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
    WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
    You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

  • How do I transfer pix in Elements 7 from old computer to Elements 9 in new computer?

    Old PC crashed but I can operate in safe mode and get to files. Elements 7 won't open, though. New laptop has Elements 9 preinstalled.  How do I transfer photos to new laptop so Elements 9 recognizes them?  Do I just copy photo files from old computer and paste them into same folder in new computer and then open Elements 9 and import them all or is something else required?  Will I need to set up new albums or can I get old albums to transfer somehow. 

    Being able to retrieve media files is a good thing, but what would be still better is to find the catalog itself where the database and accessory catalog files are stored.
    If you can do a search for a 'catalog.pse7db' file (probably hidden in explorer, you could be able to retrieve everything.
    The process would be to copy the media files in the exact same folders as the original, and to copy the whole folder containing the catalog somewhere on the new computer. From PSE9 you could open the organizer and use the catalog manager to convert the old catalog : you'll have to navigate to the folder where you have copied the catalog.
    Tell us if you need more details.
    Edit:
    Another way would be to install the old drive in an external USB housing : if the procedure stated above is not adequate, that could be worth a try.
