Syncing old email between computers

I have an old eMac running Tiger (10.4) with a buch of of email files on it.
I'd like to move these files onto my current system, a MacBook running Lion (10.7).
Ohter than creating some temporary systems, using Leapord & SnowLeapord, to move the data
is there a simple way I can move these files onto the newer "Main" system so I can Retire the eMac?

A note about Migration Assistant. when you set up a new Mac, you need to run Migration Assistant before setting up a user account: then it will set up a user account with the same name as the one you are migrating from and transfer your Home Folder with all its documents and data, including preferences, so that you can resume work very quickly. (It's probably better not to let it migrate applications, but to do that yourself).
If you set up a user account first, when you run Migration Assistant it will create a new separate user account and migrate all the data to that, leaving your with the issue of having to transfer everything to the account you want it in.

Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers.

Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers it syncs with? I have three computers I use daily in different location and have thunderbird on each computer. I find it time consuming to have to repeatedly delete the same emails from each location. I am thinking that by leaving the emails on the server and not downloading them in each computer would solve this. Is my assumption here correct? If not? How would you set up Tbird to sync?

If you set up your email account(s) as IMAP instead of POP3, then each computer / smart phone can view the mail, but if any of them delete a message (or move it to another folder on the server), the same action will be seen on the other computers.

How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

A razmee209 said, set up your email in settings on both devices.
iPhone email will always be up to date.
The iPad will update when it has internet connection. If it is a wifi only iPad, it will only update when connected to wifi, but will do so automatically.

Problem syncing old emails from Outlook to Mail using Exchange 2010

HI,
I recently switched from Outlook 2011 to Lion Apple Mail. I am set up for email through my comany's exchange server. When I set up Mail, all of my folders showed up on my Mail account successfully but it will only sync back the last 60 days of emails. I know these old emails do reside on the server. Is there potentially a setting on mail to adjust how back it syncs? If not, can someone suggest a work-around. I would only have to do this once.
Thanks

When transferring a locally stored message that was recieved a year ago to a server stored mailbox with an IMAP account - doing this today for example, the recieved date for the message is changed to today's date - at least with an email client used to access the account.

Syncing Bridge CC between computers

Hi all,
Is it possible to sync Bridge CC settings between multiple computers.
Most other CC apps do, so why not with Bridge. This could be very usefull for Collections, Keywords etc.
Maybe a solution that involves Hazel (yep, I'm on a Mac).
So far I have found nothing satisfying on this subject.
Or is this something that Adobe is coming up with very soon?!

After posting this question I was curious to see if I could manage some sort of syncing with Hazel (noodlesoft.com, only for Mac).
And guess what?
I did!
At this moment I can sync my Bridge Collections and Keywords file between an iMac and a MacBook Pro via my NAS (but this could also be DropBox or similar).
What I have done (this is only relevant for people who are using, or wanting to use, Hazel on their Mac(s)):
I've created a folder on my NAS called 'Bridge InBetween'.
On both my Macs (iMac and MBPro) I created a rule in Hazel to sync the folder 'Collections' and the file 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' to the folder on the NAS.
(This folder and file can be found in 'User/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC')
Because I do a sync, and not a simple copy that overwrites whatever has the same name, the most up-to-date files are copied and overwritten.
Then, I let Hazel run a script, again on both Mac's, to check between the local Adobe Bridge folder and the folder on the NAS to see if anything on the NAS is newer than on the local Adobe Bridge folder.
If so, then these files are copied from the NAS to the local Adobe Bridge folder, overwriting any existing file(s).
It is that plain simple, and it works for me because I have both Mac's set up in exactly the same way. This is important for syncing the Collections.
The Collections in Bridge are just plain XML files (e.g. collection.filelist) in which Bridge stores the name and path of a file in that collection.
In my case it means that any file in a collection has the same path on both Macs, as long as this file is on a NAS Share or inside my daily (local) work folder, which is synchronised between my Macs thanks to a very usefull NAS utility.
If you must deal with Macs that are not setup exactly the same (username, folder locations and names etc.), you'll have to edit the Collections file to match it.
And because these are XML files, a simple 'search&replace' might do the trick.
Bottom Line:
The syncing works for me because of two identical configured Macs. If this is not the case, then the syncing of Collections can be very hard and time consuming (changing pathnames).
Syncing of the Keywords or even a Bridge Workspace should be no problem, because there is no pathname or whatever stored in these files.
I hope someone benefits form my findings.

Sync'ing users between computers ?

Hello All,
I just bought a new MacBook Pro and was wondering whether it's possible to "share" the same account between the two. That is, somehow sync my user data so I have access to all my files/preferences no matter which macbook i'm using.
The infrastructure available is: Time Capsule, iDisk, internet all the time, local network at home.
Thank you.

I use DropBox it works very good for keeping more than one Mac in sync. Unlike iDisk it's fast and can be backed up to Time Machine. DropBox is free up to to 2 GB's but you can buy 50GB's for $99/yr or 100GB's for $199/yr. BTW, all the files in you DropBox are also on your local hard drive for easy access, just like folders you already have.
There's also Chronsync. I've got it and have basically stopped using it and switched to DropBox.

Sync google email between app and laptop

Emails appear on either my phone or my laptop but not both. How do I sync?

The devices themselves aren't where the emails are stored, it simply connects to a server which has the emails stored. If you are seeing emails on one and not the other, try to remove and re-add the accounts to verify the password is entered correctly. The only other thing I could think of is if you are deleting the email, it would also delete it from the server.

Help Syncing Muse Files between computers

I created a my first website using Muse CC and published through Business Catalyst using my work computer. When I log on at home on my lap top, site isn't listed. How do I make this happen?

If you're using a Mac, creative cloud will be on your taskbar next to wifi, time, volume etc. Open the dropdown, go to files on the tabs and start syncing.
On a PC alternatively, it will be on the taskbar at the bottom (cloud runs in the background). I've not tried it on my PC at home, but I imagine it's a similar situation.
Once you put some files in there, you should have access between both machines. Make sure you put the whole website folder (where your files are saved) in the cloud, or alternatively, export as HTML and put those files in the cloud.
Hope that helps.

Sync'ing Files Between Computers

I've just invested in a MacBook Pro to go along with my iMac in my daily workflow. I have one folder where I save all my work files (graphic designer). What I'm trying to do is find a way where I can have a copy of this folder on each Mac, and it will keep sync'd up with up-to-date files. I might find myself working fro my iMac in the morning, then needing to up and head to the office that afternoon. As a result, I need all my files to be up-to-date.
The only solution I can come up with is to purchase an external HD, and have that serve as the save-point for all my files. Then, that drive will go with me wherever my MacBook Pro goes, that way I have all the appropriate files.
However, I want to first fully explore all other possibilities to see if there's a better solution.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Chris

Chronosync is perfect for this:
http://www.econtechnologies.com/site/Pages/ChronoSync/chrono_overview.html
You are going to have exactly my set-up; MacBook Pro and Mac Pro. When I'm in the office it's the Pro I use, when I hit the road it's the laptop. Chronosync will let you specify folders etc. that need to be kept up to date and you can kick the sync. off manually (if you hit the road unexpectedly) or scheduled; I have mine run overnight.
BTW, I have nothing to do with the company, just a very happy user!

Sync Entourage Projects between computers?

I'm running OS 10.4.8 and Entourage 11.2.5 and I'd like to be able to sync/share the Entourage Projects I create with my laptop. I haven't seen any specific instructions on how to do this.
I have a .Mac account, too. I know that might come in handy.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Power Mac G5

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I do not believe that sort of synchronization is currently supported with Entourage under the Sync Services framework, but one of these two links should send you in the right direction…
This is a link to an overview of Entourage and Sync Services:

Copying group of emails between computers (Mail)

I have a POP acount and am using Mail. While on vacation my emails were not downloaded to my desktop iMac computer and have been deleted from the server. However, I did download them to my laptop (Macbook Pro), and now I want to copy or move them from the laptop to my desktop. How do I do this??? Archive? It is a specific date range (a few weeks) of emails that I want to move, not all of them.
Using OSX 10.6.8. Mail 4.5
Thanks!
Daniel

Once created, you have two choices -- the first may be the easiest. Open the mailbox, click on Mailbox in the menubar, choose Archive Mailbox, and in the resulting Finder window target the flash drive. Importing that result will use the mbox file route in the other computer.
Secondly, you can open the Finder, then open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and locate this newly created On My Mac mailbox, and move in onto the flashdrive, which will copy it. Importing this on the other Mac will use Apple Mailbox route in the Import dialogue.

ITunes does not sync playback position between computers

I have a Macbook (10.7) and a Mac Pro (10.8). The same audiobook on both but iTunes on the Macbook doesn't seem to remember where I left off when I was listening on the Pro. I resisted upgrading from 10.6 for a long time but isn't icloud supposed to do this?! I can't find any settings that control this and, yes, the audiobook is set to "remember playback position"
Thanks for your help!

Beast,
This is similar to my question, however I'm talking songs, not audio books, here.
How is it possible to have different "remember playback position" settings for different devices using the same iTunes library?
The example is that the iPod I connect to my car audio always (annoyingly) starts playing the same song whenever the iPod is switched on. I want to use the "remember playback position" setting to to stop this, and instead start playing the song from where it left off previously. I assume I could use a batch change on iTunes to accomplish this. However, I wouldn't want that setting used for other devices.
Thoughts?

Problem syncing email between Iphones/ipad

We recently added a (shared) comcast email address in hopes of replacing our AOL email account. Now we have a few problems:1. How do we sync COMCAST email between our desktop, two iphones (4S and 5) and ipad so that deleting/reading/moving from one phone impacts everything? Per Apple we now have to delete all emails from Xf by logging in (so via our home computer), but deleting/reading from the phones has no effect on the other phone/ipad. I tried the url in "inflightgolf"s question & it's inactive.2. We can't send COMCAST emails from the ipad.3. Also our shared calendar events (phones, ipad) sync more slowly (sometimes not at all) than they did before we added the COMCAST email account, tho can't see how that would be impacted.

Thanks for trying, but I didn't really understand the terminology in your explanation. Tried calling COMCAST Tech Support but they didn't seem to understand the problem + their phone lines were full of static. We went back to the Apple Store and:1. The Apple tech was looked at our iPAD & caught a typo I'd made when entering our new email address - so now we can send emails from the ipad. 2. He also explained that unlike AOL, because of the way COMCAST/Xfinity's server works, we'll have to delete anything from our Comcast email account individually on each device (something about IMAP vs POP). I'm simplifying things by not reading email on my phone anymore, and just deleting everything from my phone every few days. At least I could now confirm to a friend with Comcast email that she can delete all the emails from her phone without worrying that she might inadvertently lose something she wanted on her computer. Wish we'd never shifted to Comcast email, of course, but it's a bit late now.3. Whatever the problem with the calendar was, no clue, but we're just being careful about scheduling things & I'm sure it'll work out. Again, thanks for trying.
