Trouble importing from entourage

I imported from Entourage into iCal, and my times down the side of iCal are incorrect. The events are the correct time (and in the correct time zone,) but it doesn't line up with the times down the left. Help, please???

You may be able to fix the files by putting their Type and Creator codes back where they're supposed to be. Place the "Office 200x Identities" folder of your backed up Entourage data in its normal location in your user account.
Download this nice little (and free!) Type and Creator code utility. Quick Change.
Type and Creator codes have two fixed rules. They must be four characters long. They are case sensitive. Launch Quick Change. First drag and drop the "Newsgroup Cache" file onto its interface. It will likely show nothing for the codes. For this file, they are:
Type: Ncch
Creator: OPIM
Click the save button.
Open the "Main Identity" folder. For all four files, the Creator is OPIM. The Type code for each is as follows:
Database: OEDB
Mailing Lists: List
Rules: RULE
Signatures: Sigs
After fixing each file's codes, see if Entourage now recognizes them.

Import from Entourage: Can't see any mails

I did the simple import from Entourage into Mail. I took a long time, and I could see the titles of all of the emails as they were imported (thousands), and it created folders and subfolders just as I had them in Entourage. But after the import, all of the folders appear empty!
Help!

AirPrint is a feature built into the iOS. If the app that you are working in or using has the boxed curved arrow icon at the top - should allow you to print. However, in order to use AirPrint, you must have one of the AirPrint compatible printers.
The printers with this feature are listed on this web site.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html
If you do not own one of these printers, there are a number of third party apps that will allow you to print using your current printer. You may need to download a helper app on your computer and leave your computer turned on in order to use them.

Can't import from Entourage into Mail

I'm trying to import my Entourage 2008 email into Apple Mail 6.0. Everytime I try I get an error message, "Error - Unable to connect to Microsoft Entourage. Try opening Microsoft Entourage first, then run the import". I tried that and it didn't work either. I exported my Entourage data as a .rge but then when I try to import it, there is a nested duplication of all the folders from Entourage. And I've got too many emails/folders to drag them. Any ideas or suggestions?

This is too late for Norm, but incase anyone else is having this problem, it may be due to having Office 2011 installed (ignore if this is not your case).
I would find the same error on trying to import from Entourage, and after digging around a bit, tracked the problem to having Office 2011 installed. Once I completely removed Office 2011, the import worked fine.

Mail 2 crashes while importing from Entourage X

Hello all:
I am trying to move over from Entourage X to Mail/Address Book/iCal under Tiger. However, when I try to run the import from Entourage feature in Mail, I am unable to import my mail files from Entourage.
Specifically, the problem I'm having is that Mail crashes mid-way through the import process. When I restart Mail, it attempts to re-start the import process but crashes again. If I hit "Cancel" I can see part of my folder structure under the "Import" folder, but no mail messages in it.
One possibility is that my Mail database in Entourage is very large, with thousands of mail messages and a fairly complicated folder structure. Based on the progress bar, I estimate a total import would take about an hour or so. The crash appears to happen 10-15 minutes into the import process.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I might be able to get around this? I would very much like to switch over to Mail - I assume that it is a better application than Entourage.
Thanks,
Sohil

Let’s fix the second problem first. Step 4 in the procedure below will cause Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again. Hence, before proceeding, you my want to delete from the server any messages you don’t want to be downloaded again.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Import from Entourage 2008 to Calendar not working

Hi all, so after 11+ years of using Entourage I'm finally biting the bullet and trying to migrating to Calendar/Mail/etc ...
Anyway I'm struggling to get Calendar to play nicely. When I use "Import from Entourage..." Entourage 2008 opens as expected and Calendar shows the "Importing Entourage data..." progress bar for a few seconds but nothing appears to be imported. What am I doing wrong?
Cheers for any help

Anybody?

Importing from Entourage to Mail Question

Hi,
I'd like to import from entourage to mail, however I'd like to select a cutoff date of the emails coming in. In other words, instead of 10 years of email, I just want to take the past two or three.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how easily to achieve this end result?
Thanks

I haven't got a direct answer for you but I had similar experiences which may help you. I found the Mail import to be pretty ineffective and unable to cope with large mailboxes.
I started with Entourage and actually moved to Thunderbird when earlier versions of Mail were not really very good. TBird imported Entourage emails fine - about three years of emails.
With SL and Mail 4, I was looking for a way to import all my TBird emails - now 7 years with as the import into Mail was still flawed and also it had a bad habit of recovering EVERY email ever received, including all the spam. So I found "Eudora mailbox importer" which perfectly moved all my TBird mail straight into Mail with no fuss.
So if you get stuck, its Entourage to TBird to Mail !

How do you change your ical import from entourage settings

Hello all,
I am new to ical and am trying to import someone else's entourage agenda. I believe I may have pointed to the incorrect file, and am now unable to find a way to redirect the import. When I select import from entourage, it automatically executes my original setting.
Can you please let me know how to redirect the import, and it would also be helpful if you could tell me exactly what file I need to point to on my coworkers machine for the import.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Troy,
The best thing to do at this point is to contact iTunes Support:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Click on "Account Management" and then on "Forgotten Security Questions". That will take you to a page where you can talk to iTunes Support right away, or you can schedule a call to talk to them. They should be able to get you squared away so that you can log on to the old Apple ID.
Once you get back into the old Apple ID, change the password to match the password on the new Apple ID. Also, probably a good idea to set up the 2-step Password Security - easier to recover a forgotten password that way.
I think you should be able to just update the password even though the Apple ID and email address are no longer valid. Since your son will only be using it to update apps, that should be OK.
Post back if you have any questions or run into any other issues! Good luck!
Cheers,
GB

Address Book Importing From Entourage

Hello,
With the latest version of Microsoft Office on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, when I export from Entourage to import into Address Book, there is a problem with some data loss. It seems as if not all telephone numbers and email addresses are imported. The tab delimited text file that Entourage creates looks normal when viewing the information from Address Book prior to importing, but some of the data is left out anyway. All other data (addresses, notes, etc...) seems OK. Any ideas?
Thanks

Entourage can export vCards which can be directly imported by Address Book. Simply select all your Entourage contacts and drag them into an empty folder on your Desktop. This will give you a folder full of vCards. Import them directly into Address Book.

Trouble importing from canon t4i into imove

So I have a canon t4i and I've been having trouble importing my videos from my memory card to imovie, and iphoto wont even let me upload it. I tried converting it to AVI (which took a few hours) and It's still not doing anything. I don't know what to do and it's really frustrating.

Hello Samantha3232,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Import from Entourage skips messages and subfolders

I'm try to import message into Mail 4.4 (1082), from Entourage 12.2.8 The import seems to work correctly (I get no errors). But when I check the folders and subfolders structure, Mail simply skipped the content of many folders and subfolders. In other cases, it seems to have imported in the main folder, all the content of its subfolders, and all the subfolders themselves are empty..

I have had a similar (and worse problems). Here is a list of things I've tried:
1. Import directly from Entourage using Mail.app File->Import
I tried this for all my mail at once, but the import silently choked somewhere, and only imported some random amount of mail in my larger mailboxes. I didn't try to figure out what it missed.
2. Drag mail folder from Entourage to Finder
You can just drag a mail folder from Entourage to the finder and it creates a .mbox file. Then you can use Mail.app File->Import to import the .mbox file. Unfortunately, when I tried this for my 2G Entourage inbox (with ~40K messages), the Finder crashed. Still, the .mbox file was created successfully, and I was able to import this into Mail.app.
3. Try (again) to import directly from Entourage
After importing the largest entourage mail folders using the drag-to-mbox method above, I thought I'd try importing the smaller folders directly. This succeeded, or so I thought. I checked the message counts in all my folders and all the folders had the same number of messages in both Entourage and Mail.app.
Unfortunately, when I actually went to look at the messages in Mail.app, THEY WERE ALL BLANK. No data. Nada.
So I would recommend that anyone trying the Entourage direct import actually check the messages they think they have imported. Or just use the mbox method, which is what I'm going to do now. +Update: This turns out to be incredibly tedious, as you can't select multiple folders to export at once, nor are subfolders included if you drag-drop the parent folder from Entourage. Sigh.+
I guess this is yet another regression test that Apple failed to perform (assuming they did any testing at all).

Trouble importing from Canon HG10

I have a Canon HG10 camera (HDD, AVCHD). I'm having trouble importing to iMovie '09 (8.0.6).
Initially the camera was not being detected by iMovie at all (it did mount on the desktop). Searching the forums (here and elsewhere) it seemed that this was a common problem with the HG10, and that the solution was often to initialize the camera's HD (through the camera's own menus). Unfortunately this wipes out all the movies already on the camera, and I had several hours of critical footage on the camera. I decided to try it anyway, making a copy of the HD's entire contents to my machine before initializing.
Initializing did fix the problem. I recorded a short clip on the newly blank camera, and upon connecting to my machine iMovie detected it immediately and I was able to import.
My dilemma now is that I need to somehow import the several hours of footage that I had copied to my machine before initializing the camera. In one forum it was suggested that I could use the "Import Camera Archive..." option in iMovie, and point it to the backup copy of the camera's contents that I had made. When I do this I get the message "Folder is Not a Camera Archive".
I tried copying the old contents of the HD back onto the newly initialized camera to see if it would be detected. No luck — camera reverts to not being detected and must be initialized again.
Suspecting that the auxiliary files in the camera's folder structure might be the issue, I tried selectively copying files from the backup copy over to the camera's folder structure (e.g. just the MTS files). This didn't work (surprise surprise).
I see in other forums that it's possible to get raw MTS files into iMovie, but since I have all the files in the original camera structure it seems there should be an easier way.

Hello jam27
Had the same situation once with the same Camera
I used Handbrake http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php to convert to mp4 H.264 Codex Large file size
Import this into iMovie it takes time but at least you can recover this .
I kept still the original MTS files just in case as backup Cheers Herb

Trouble importing from cd

I've been having trouble importing music into iTunes from a CD. Many times it will START the importing process and then freeze up (it continues to look like it's working but will be stuck in one spot for 5 or 10 minutes or longer. I end up having to force quit and starting over sometimes 2 or 3 times before it copies all of the songs. I've had the problem with old CDs but now it's doing it with brand new, out of the package CDs. I've never had this problem before and don't know if it's iTunes or the Mac Mini I'm working on. Anyone have any ideas about trouble-shooting? It's very frustrating and my PC friends are making fun of me .
Thanks!

Hi--
My Mini came with 10.4.3, but my other Macs have
10.3.8. (I wasn't able to upgrade the other
computers with the OSX discs that came in my Mini.)
Right, that's because the discs that come with the Mini won't have the necessary components to work with the other Macs. So it's either not going to work, period, or if it does, you risk an incomplete installation.
I
have never had trouble with my iBook importing and
never had trouble with my iMac which used a Lacie
external CD burner.
If you still have the external CD burner, try connecting that to your Mini and see what happens. If it works, then it's more likely the drive on the Mini. If it's the same, then probably a problem with iTunes' preferences somewhere.
Also, you could create a new user on the Mini. Try importing CDs with this new user. Again, if the imports work, then the drive is fine. But if they stall, too, then it might be time to have the drive looked at.
This is what I found for yesterday (the
day I was last importing CD's) in my Console.log.
But I don't know what it means or if it's related to
iTunes application.
None of that stuff in the log has anything to do with iTunes. The mdimportserver is just an informational message from Spotlight telling you that it wasn't able to decode some data in a file, so it would treat it as if it were binary data instead of text.
The DirectoryService NetInfo listings can be gotten rid of, I believe, by turning off "NetInfo" in the Directory Access program in your Utilities folder. That's according to a post a short way down this page.
The other errors from Dashboard are just garden variety notifications. I was thinking that perhaps you were getting Disk I/O errors in your console log, or SAM multimedia sense errors. Those can be caused by either bad drives or bad CDs.

Trouble importing from Canon Elura 80

I´ve been having trouble when importing from my camcorder, a canon elura 80, iMovie recognizes it and controls it with no problem, but it doesn´t cut the clips automatically. At first, I didn´t care, I´m used to trimming video, and I can even say that I enjoy it. The problem with this comes when I want to apply themes to the movie: If I place the manually trimmed clip in the drop zone, it doesn´t take the trimming into account, it just plays the beggining of the untrimmed clip, so I end up with the same clip repeated over and over.
What I´ve done:
- I checked the importing preferences, and the "start a new clip at each scene break" is checked.
- I trimmed using "split video clip at Playhead"
- I also tried "crop" for editing
It´s frustrating not being able to use one of the coolest feature of this program, please help!!! thanks in advance

Trouble importing from p3 after office install

Has anyone else had trouble importing photos from digital camera after installing Office for Mac 2011? Now iPhoto won't recognize my files, and what came up in the import folder were about 160 icky clip art icons, which I quickly deleted. If there's a fix (other than uninstalling software), please advise.

Terence, hi. I'm doing what I had done previously (successfully), plugging in my Nikon digital camera via the USB port and turning on the camera. I checked preferences and it's set to connect the camera in iPhoto.

After Importing from Entourage( Help Please!!!!!)

Hi All
I have imported all my data from Entourage to Mail. Everything works great and all good. But I don't understand why some of the email are shown in red ( subject and from). Only the subject and from are in red color, but the body of the mail is in black. I thought maybe because they are not in my address book. However some of other emails which is not in my address book also shown in black. only few of them are in red. I really want to know the reason as it really bothers me.
Many thanks in advance.

Nobody answered because of the usual reasons:
1) Nobody knows the answer.
2) A person who may know the answer hasn't seen your post.
