Using a clone image on another computer

I made a clone of my MBP Tiger system using superduper to an external drive before upgrading to Leopard on the MBP.
I also have a Mac Pro running Leopard.
I would like to transfer just my emails in Mail from the MBP clone image to my Mail inbox and sent folders on my Mac Pro.
The rest of the clone doesn't interest me and I plan to wipe it out and create a new clone of the MBP after it is all set up running Leopard.
Migration assistant didn't seem to allow me to do just this so I didn't use it.
Can I connect the external drive with the MBP clone image to my Mac Pro and boot from that without creating problems because it is another computer with different hardware?
Can I then just export those Mail folders and then import them into my Mac Pro's Mail folders?
If doing it on the Mac Pro is impossible, can I boot from the clone with my MBP now that it is running Leopard and export the Mail folders there then just transfer them to the Mac Pro?
Thanks for any advice.

The answer to that is "maybe," but you don't have to boot from it to export folders from it to another drive. As long as the Finder can see it, you can import folders from it to your startup drive.

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

How can I view backed up iPhoto images from another computer?

Hi! I have an iMac, and a MacBook Pro. I have backed up both my iMac and MBP to a Seagate FreeAgent 1 TB external hard drive. I am going abroad, and I want to delete my photos from my MBP. Before I do that I want to be sure that I can still be able to view them on MBP while I am away instead of keeping them on my computer. So, I went into my iMac backup on my MBP and I tried to open my iPhoto Library, but I received this message... "The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library."
Is there anyway to be able to open both of my iPhoto libraries that are backed up on my hard drive with both my computers? Or can I only view the images on the computer they were originally on? Because in that case then I can't delete the photos from my MBP like I had planned.
Thank you!!!

You can't open them with iPhoto but you can view and restore individual photos in the backups. See the gray box towards the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.

How do i use a Time Machine from another computer from Time Capsule with multibackups

Can Iuse a Time Machine from another computer from Time Capsule with multibackups

Not sure what you are asking here.
Time Machine is software on a Mac that is used to backup that Mac to a Time Capsule hard drive.
Are you asking if another Mac can backup to the same Time Capsule that other Macs are already using?
Or, if not....please clarify on exactly what you want to do.

How can I use my synced bookmarks on another computer without merge?

I don't want end up with all the bookmarks from each PC that I use Firefox on.
If I go to another computer that has Firefox, I don't want the bookmarks, history, etc. from this computer. In other words, absolutely no merging of my stuff with their stuff.
I guess I want my bookmarks etc. to reside in the cloud and I want to experience Firefox on each and every device that I use as if it were my personal device, not a blend of my stuff and their stuff.

Sync isn't meant to be used as a backup device, but merely to sync data between multiple devices.
So it is not possible to store your bookmarks in the cloud on the sync server without syncing it to other devices.
You would have to exclude the bookmarks and the history from syncing if you still want other personal data to get synced and backup your data locally.
You can do that manually or via an extension like MozBackup or FEBE.

I cant use my ipod touch on another computer

can anyone help me on what to do, i cant connect my touch to another computer apart from the one i originally used to start it up.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:

Using an ipod shuffle on another computer

I have an ipod shuffle with my main music library at home. My question is can I simply play the music on my shuffle on another computer's itunes without syncing? When I plug it in the only options are to sync (and loose everything) or cancel so I can't play my music.

Why would it need to play from the iTunes on the computer when it is fully loaded with songs and is charged/charging on the shuffle charging dock?
Why? Because that would require an ongoing transfer of data from the iPod to computer, which would require more complicated hardware and programming, which would increase the size and cost of producing a shuffle. If it is treated as just a known playlist, data transfer is only needed when you manually or automatically fill it. That's simple.
It tells me 0 items, 464 KB available.
That is probably outside of iTunes. The files are invisible, so it is 0 items. The files still exist, so they take up space.
Will the songs be erased from the shuffle as soon as I select 'Erase and Sync'
Yes. An iPod shuffle can only be associated with one computer at a time. If you want to get songs off of it, you need to use a third party utility (search using Google to find one) which can transfer the songs from the iPod before using iTunes to +erase and sync+.

Can I use Shuffle Gen 2 on another computer to listen to what's on it?

I loaded my father-in-laws iPod Shuffle Gen 2 with a bunch of songs.
He is Russian and taking it back to Russia next week.
I was hoping he could do what I do with my other iPods...
When I plug them into another computer - it asks me the usual questions...
When it asks if I want to manually manage the music or sync -- I click manual -- then you can manipulate and play the music on the other computer that is not your own.
But I do not see that as an option on Shuffle Gen 2 -- so when he gets home - he will not be able to play it while sitting at his computer! Only when he plugs it into his ears!
That kinda stinks!
Is there something I am missing?
Can I make it so he can add songs from his home computer to it later or at least not have all the songs grayed out so he can play them while it is synced and he is working?
Is the only option to go and by some small speakers?
Or is there some really obvious button I am missing that I need to click to adjust this issue?
As always...
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
-Pete

The 2nd Generation Shuffle does not work like other iPods, it can only be synced to one Library. There is no way to access the playlist on it from the computer.

Disk Images and another computer?

Hey everyone,
I recently created a disk image on an external hard drive with my MBP (so I could password-protect sensitive work data). I was wondering if anyone can confirm that if my MBP broke down, I could plug my external drive into ANOTHER Mac and could open the disk image with the same password I've used to protect it? I just want to make sure the disk image is not specific to my one MBP computer. Thanks.

Yes you can.

I was using the clone tool and my computer froze. I could'nt get aperture to work at all, so I turned my computer off and now I can'nt access aperture or my I photo library. I ahve tried re booting my computer several times but I don't know what to do to

I was useing my colne tool in apetrure when, apeture froze. I could not get it to work again, so I turned off my computer, re booted my machine and tried to open the programme again. I can not get aperture to open again and I can't open I photo either. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get the programme running again? I have a deadline to meet this evening. Help!

I have tried both options.
When I got to point 3 I choose the library I was working on and the same error message popped up, so this option did not work.
I then tried the second suggestion and chose the repair option but as before there is no sign of a repair database grogress indicator. Where would I be able to see this and what does it look like. I can't see any evidence of anything happening on my screen.
I have also just tried the first option that comes up in the pop up box where you have to enter your password, this resulted in the same error message.
I don"t know what to do.
I don't really want to have to go for the third option where you have to rebuild you data base - Would this result in loosing images?

Using MacBook Pro display for another computer, is this possible?

I have a MacBook Pro and an older Dell tower, i would like to see if I can use an input on the MacBook Pro to view my desktop on the Dell without the use of another monitor clogging up my workspace. Im thinking firewire or something.... i don't know.... Thanks.

You cannot use a display built into a Mac as a monitor for another machine, as no Mac has a video-in port. You may be able to get a workable configuration by installing a VNC server on the PC and then using a VNC client on the MacBook Pro such as this one to control it.

How do use my itunes library in another computer

I have an itunes account and a library on my pc at work, but when i try to accede to my library on itunes on my personal computer it doesn´t work.
What should I do?
on both pc's I have windows xp.
Best regards
Elisabete Gomes

You need to explain what you are doing more clearly.
If you want to use the same music library on two PCs, you need to have iTunes installed on both PCs, the same "iTunes Library.itl" file on both PCs and the same music files in the "iTunes music" folder.
This article form Apple gives a method of copying music between two PCs using your iPod:

Both PCs must also be authorised in order to play music purchased from the iTunes store.

Using LightScribe DVD drive on another computer

Hello! I was wondering if it is at all possible to use the built in LightScribe DVD drive that came with my relative's computer (it's a PC) to burn a DVD I made in iDVD. Is there a way for my Mac to recognize the DVD burner in the other computer if I hook it up to mine using USB or something?
Thanks

I think you might have to change the extension to: .iso
