Trouble Migrating Eudora mailboxes from Windows PC to Mac

I am having trouble transferring my Eudora mail boxes from my old Windows 2000 PC to my new iMac. I successfully installed Eudora for Mac but ran into a snag.
According to Eudora, Windows .mbx mailbox files can easily be migrated from Windows to Mac:
http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1644hq.html
However they must be converted with their CRLF utility in order to work under Mac. They provide a link to this utility on the aforementioned page.
I downloaded their CRLF v1.2 utility and installed it on my Mac, except either it's not working, or I don't know how to use it, and the readme instructions that came with it are confusing and unclear. Executing CRLF v1.2 generates a "...not supported in this system" error.
(taken from the Eudora support page)
"Moving the Mailboxes:
Both versions of Eudora keep their mailboxes in the same format, so conversion is relatively painless. However, Macintosh and Windows file systems handle text differently, so line feed conversion must be done. You can do this by FTPing the files in ASCII (text) mode, or by using a carriage return/line feed conversion utility like CRLF. It's very important that you FTP or convert the files to take care of the carriage return/line feed processing.
The mailbox files on the PC are the ones in the Eudora directory that end in ".MBX". (Don't bring over the ".TOC" files). "
I tried removing the .mbx extension, but Mac only recognizes it as "Document." Eudora doesn't recognize it as an "Eudora mailbox file." I see the Eudora mailbox files Eudora generated have no file extension.
I signed up for Eudora support forum so I could ask there, but they never sent me a confirmation email with activation link, so I can't post anything there. There's no way to contact the webmaster about this problem, email bounces back with "we no longer offer support."

these reads will be helpful: one and two.

good luck !

Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.
Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).
There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.
I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.
Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?
Many thanks

hello, you could move over the whole places.sqlite database which holds your bookmarks & history from the profile of your old computer into the profile of your mac: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

How to migrate photo library from windows into iPhoto '09

I have spent altogether too much time fretting about this transition and searching for solutions online, and I'm certain someone else has figured this out.
I just switched from Windows to a mac, and I'm wanting to move my photo library into iPhoto. I already have my photos separated into folders by event (I used Picasa for Windows). Is there any way to get those 312 folders to translate into iPhoto Events? And for the hail mary, is there a way to import any Picasa data into iPhoto? I've found iPhotoExpert to basically do that the other way around (i.e. migrating from iPhoto to Picasa), but I'm looking to migrate to iPhoto from Picasa.
Anybody done this successfully?

I realize iPhoto is not a file manager, I've gotten over that part. At this point I would just like it to recognize different folders as different events. I feel like that is a little feature that would go a long way, not only for migrating libraries like in this case, but also in the future.
I will often create separate folders within my camera's menus for different events, so that when I import the photos it makes it easier to distinguish the different events, even if they span multiple days. If only there was a checkbox next to "imported items from finder" called "treat folders as events when importing" that applied recursively to folders imported.
Update: I took a leap of faith and dragged a portion of my library into iPhoto (after unchecking that "Autosplit Imported items from Finder" checkbox) and it did exactly what I was hoping it would! Turns out it does apply recursively, which is really handy. I can just drag my entire "Pictures" folder with all of my photos nicely organized into events by folder into iPhoto, and it recognizes each folder as a separate event without having to drag each folder separately! hooray! I ended up doing so with the "Photos" icon selected in the sidebar, I don't know if that made a difference or not. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Migrate Album art from Windows player to iTunes?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times but....
Is there a way to migrate the artwork from Windows media player into iTunes?
It seems that media player keeps all the art within each album folder which means that I already have the art for albums that the great and mighty iTunes can't seem to find. And I have checked to confirm this - about 700 or so albums that I have art for in media player can't be found in iTunes. I thought that they all accessed the same CDDB info.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You only need to drag something onto iTunes in order to import it, however it will need to be in the correct format. If the files in your Windows player are in Windows format you will need to convert them before you can import them.

Hi Blotontheland,
Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

I have forgotten which key I need to press to offer the option of switching from Windows 7 to Mac os. Can anybody help? Many thanks.

Can anybody advise me on which key I need to press on start up to be given the option of switching from Windows 7 to Mac OS?
Many thanks.

Transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X

I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

>Leopard can display seemingly inexplicable problems by something as simple as plugging an incompatible device into a USB hub.
And Windows is somehow immune from such problems - I don't think so.

Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?

Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?
Under Mailboxes in Mac Mail, I used to see Inbox (along with sub-Inboxes for each account, all of which are still there), VIPs (still there), Sent (still there), Drafts, Junk and Trash, all of which are missing, without me making ANY changes anywhere, either on Mac Mail or Gmail.
Any ideas ... or other people experiencing same issue? (Happened in my wife's account and I just assumed the kids deleted something, but then I went to my account where the kids never are and I found the same issue.)

Do you mean that they are not listed under Gmail's header at the bottom of the Mailbox List or that they don't exist in the Unified Mailboxes at the top?
If they are not in the unified mailboxes, check down under Gmail and vice versa. If they are at the bottom under Gmail, select each separately and go to the Use Mailbox for command in the Mailbox menu. Set each one to what they are supposed to be, ie Trash, Junk, Sent, Drafts.
If they don't appear anywhere, log into Google's email website, go to Settings, click on the Labels tab and make sure those mailboxes are set to show in IMAP.
Finally, if they are IMAP accounts, just delete the accounts from Mail then re-add them. If you have a lot of email, it will take a while to synchronize, but it should recover those foldrs. If you are using POP, I'm not exactly sure how to save the old email, but I would assume Google is already doing that for you.

How transfer email folders from windows outlook to mac outlook

I have already gotten the emails moved from the Dell Laptop running Windows to the iMac and have them in Outlook on the iMac. What I am needing to know is how do I get the folders from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook so everything will be organized on the iMac like it was on the Dell Laptop.

Hi Dmzimmerman1,
What program are you using for email? The answer will vary based on the program. Also, are you referred to archived email folders or is the email account configured for IMAP?
