Transferring mailbox folders to new computer.

Aloha! I recently purchased a iMac and would like to transfer all my stored email messages that are in mailbox folders created under "On My Mac" in Apple mail. What is the easiest way to do this?
Thanks!

You can also use programs such as Senuti or Podworks which will help you transfer all the content of the iPod to the Mac.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

Transferring Elements to a new computer

I downloaded Photoshop Elements a couple years ago and just bought a new Mac. Can I transfer Elements and Bridge to my new Mac? I put the files on a drive and transferred it to my new computer, but they aren't working right. Any suggestions?

What is the version of Elements you are trying to install. And also program cannot be migrated from one computer to another, you have to install it to make it work.

I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly. I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications. You should install them.
As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

Transferring camera roll into new computer.

So... I got my laptop stolen and decided to get a new one. The thing is that I can't seem to download the Photo Library pictures from my old computer that are stored in my iphone, into the new laptop... is there anyway i can do that?
Thanks!

Photos captured by your iPhone and a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS are stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll. Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
The title of your post is "Transferring camera roll into new computer" which you aren't asking about. You are asking about importing or transferring photos from your iPhone's Photo Library, which is completely separate from and has nothing to do with the Camera Roll.
Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone.
Photos stored on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only which should be kept in a separate location from your laptop in the event it is lost or stolen. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.

Transferring iTunes library to new computer with Windows Vista OS

Using the Apple Support Guide I have tried to move my iTunes library to my new laptop using my iPod as the back up device. When I went to copy my music to my new computer by dragging the iTunes folder out of the Music folder to the desktop, a message occurred saying I must be the Administrator to do this (I am) so it would not complete the task. Instead I have located the iPod in Computer and dragged the iTunes folder into the Music Folder and replaced the iTunes folder in Music with the iTunes folder from Computer (i.e. iPod).
When I open the iTunes folder in Music, all the folders with all my music are there. However when I open the iTunes program there is no music in the library that shows up. If I sync my iPod will all the music then be transferred into the iTunes library?
As we have moved overseas I no longer have the old computer so the backup on my iPod is the only backup of the music we have so I don't want to risk deleting it.
Many thanks for any help.

thanks Bocaken , just bought new pc. will be useful

Transferring IPod Librabry to new Computer & Hard Drive Failure

My main computer had a hard drive failure and after I got a new hard drive I can't find a way to transfer the music library from my IPod to the new computer. I can't de-authorize the old computer beacuse the hard drive is dead. Does anyone know how to do this with out losing all of the music on my Ipod or burning it all to CD's ?

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

Afterwards, take the advice of others and make a back up *_other than the iPod._*

Transferring my music to new computer from Time Machine

There are probably several places I could have posted this but this seems to be the best place for the specific question I have.
My macbook pro recently died and I've got a brand new one and I'm having trouble transferring my iTunes library from the Time Machine backup to the new MBP. Unfortunately I wasn't the greatest at keeping my tags perfect and when I drop all my music into itunes many of the tags are nonexistent. I've tried using the backed up iTunes Library file with the new computer but transferring the music itself into iTunes sorts them in completely different folders than it shows in the library file.
I figure the best fix for this would be to dump all the music directly into the iTunes>Music folder directly from finder but when I do this I get this error message:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access “_”.
Any ideas on either how to gain "permission" or if there are any other ideas to get all my music transferred cleanly would be greatly appreciated. I've got about 80gb of music and about 4000 songs are missing significant pieces to their tags so going through and fixing them 1 by 1 is just not an option.
P.S. If you haven't done so already, I suggest going into iTunes, select all your music, right click and choose convert id3 tags so you can avoid any problems in the future.

I suppose there isn't necessarily a good reason but I just wanted to start fresh. I had accumulated a lot of stuff (apps, tweaks, extensions, overall junk, etc.) that was taking up unnecessary space and resources. It was my first Mac so I did a lot of messing around to learn the OS. With this new machine I feel as though I have a better idea what works/doesn't work and I can avoid installing every little thing because it looks like it might be helpful when in reality it just sits there unused. Everything has worked perfectly for me and I have everything set up perfectly save for this music issue (which in many ways it's the worst possible problem of all)

I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

I have music in iTunes that was purchased with an account that no longer exists. I'm transferring music to a new computer so the new iTunes is asking me to sign in to the old account to authorize the old music. Is there a work-around for this?

Just to clarify: I purchased some of my older music in iTunes with an account that got deleted. I cannot recover or use this old account. I transferred music from my old iTunes to a new computer and that new iTunes on the new computer is asking me to sign into the old account to authorize the music. So, is there another way to transfer this music to my new iTunes? I'm using a USB thumb drive to transfer the music. Also, music that was purchased with my current account tranfers just fine.

Transferred all files to new computer. My iTunes does not find my music. The "scan for media" button doesn't work and I cannot get the iTunes to see the music that is clearly on my new computer.

I am stumpted. I transferred and have all my music in my iTunes folder on my new computer and I also have it on an external hard drive. I've added the new computer to the list of authorized computers and followed the "advanced" preferences options to select my iTunes folder and still nothing happens. No music, no playlists, NOTHING. The I am completely shocked that none, NONE of the apple support pages can help me. I have Windows 8.1. Please can someone help me. I cannot believe how hard this is.

Can't open Raw files after transferring CS5 to my new computer

I just transferred cs5 to my new imac computer using my time machine backup. I now get a "photoshop does not recognize this file type" when I try to open a raw file from photoshop. When I try to open my raw files through bridge I get the message "you do not have permission to open the document. I have checked my permission preferences and have reading and writing permissions and updated to 6.7 ACR. I dont know what to do next?

Curt,
I have an imac OSX 10.8.2. So is the application folder the correct location for the CS5 folder? There is a lot of unclear information about this out on the web.
Everything I loaded today has a CS5.1 name to it. I assumed that it was an updated version from my original CS5? If I click on the CS5 folder located in my user file it opens photoshop (probally means its not uninstalled... hum). I cant access it through utilities/adobe installers/uninstall CS5. So maybe I should do the Script cleaner like you mentioned? Or maybe CS5 and CS5.1 are the same program like you mentioned?
When I follow the path to camera raw you mentioned I get to a photoshop raw "pop up" but ACR doesnt open up. Are you asking for me to locate the Camera Raw plug in folder or look for multiples of the file inside my plugins folder? Their isnt a ACR file in my CS5 file that I found in my user folder or the CS5.1 file in my applications folder. Where would I typically find it? Im having a hard time finding it at all.
Im on my 2nd day of troubleshooting and Ive read so many articles and help threads. Ive had a call back order requested from adobe... Im still waiting 3 hours later. Im afraid they might just reject my request for help since I dont have CS6. You have by far been the best help Ive found. Thank you very much! If you can think of anything else to resolve this please let me know. Im so frusterated at this point... trying to be positive though, Im learning alot.

Font probs transferring iweb to a new computer?

I transferred my iweb site to a new computer and a lot of the fonts are messed up? (note, I used standard ariel fonts)
I copied over the entire domain folder.
the original site was made on version 1.1.2 and i am now running iweb 2.0.3 could someone tell me if there is something i can do to remedy this as it'll take a long time changing every letter that needs fixed. Thanks - Ricky

Great info roddy. One part though where you wrote
Double click this domain file to launch iWeb.
Although functional this is not necessary. Would not want to confuse OP into thinking the procedure of double-clicking the Domain file is required everytime the desire to open app is present. _Look Here_ for complete Apple documentation. Given that information coupled with your suggestion OP could copy the Domain file to anywhere on their new Mac and then double-clicking Domain file would be +absolutely required+ to open project in iWeb. This would then set new location of Domain file where afterwards simply launching iWeb app from dock, app folder or otherwise would open the Domain file, wherever it was located. Your suggestion mentioned copying Domain to equivalent location of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and in doing so double-clicking is not required since this is the default location iWeb looks for the Domain file at anyway.

Transferring music to a new computer

Is it really as straightforward as transferring the existing iTunes music folder contents to the new machine?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Transferring files to a new computer

I have both an IPOD 20G and a Nano. On my old computer, the Nano is its own playlist within my library. I got a new computer and want to transfer files for both.
I have so many songs that I do not wish to burn them all on cds and reload. Not all of my songs came from itunes, some were uploaded or downloaded from other sources so I dont want to lose those either.
I followed the directions to manual update and enable disk use. When I get on to my new computer, I try to move the file from my ipod by dragging it to my new itunes file. When I pull it up, my new library is empty and all my music and playlists just so up under "my devices". So clearly it never transferred to the new location. I can only listen the music when the IPOD is connected. I have not even attempted to try to update my nano yet.
I tried copying my files to an external hard drive and then transferring them the new computer and only some of them transferred.
Anyone have any easy, step by step methods for transferring my old library to my new computer complete with playlists and all. I start from scratch with my nano if I have to, I just dont want to lose my library.
Thanks

I did copy the entire Itune library from the old computere to the new computer. After downloading/updating the itunes software on the new computerI went to open the itune file--all the music is there but no playlists. Also when you connect the ipod to the computer, if you allow it to sync it wants to erase all the music on the ipod. I need to keep until I get the playlists on the new computer--the ipod is the thing that has them now.
