With all the mac experts here, no one can help me with mail?! Geez...

I recently sold my MBP (intel), and have the cloned HD on a FW drive. Unfortunately, I did not export my mail as an archive, from the MBP before I made the clone.
I have a G5 Powermac dual 2.0, that I do not use for mail, and wanted to use my MBP mail in the G5's Mail app.
I tried copying the user/library/mail folder from the MBP's same folder into the G5. This has always worked for me in the past.
When I launch mail, *I see all my messages from the MBP in my G5 inbox, but after a few seconds, a status bar appears in the lower left activity section of the main viewer, and then the messages disappear*. To where, I have no idea. I have re-tried this method many times, clicking on the stop icon in that status bar, but I can't stop it in time before it disappears all the messages. (Where are they, Gitmo?)
I have taken all accounts offline, and disconnected the internet, and that also doesn't help.
I have tried just importing the inbox from the MBP FW clone, and i get a pop-up message in the import window that says,
"Error
No valid Mail for OS X files were found"
Is there an incompatibility between the intel and ppc's Mail architecture, that is responsible for this?
Why do I see my messages for a few seconds before they vanish without a trace?
Is there any workaround for me that I can try?
Obviously I can't reboot my PPC with the Guid partitioned MBP clone...
Can I clone the MBP's GUID format HD clone to a G5 partition in the Apple Partition Map format and make it bootable? Seems like a lot of effort, but I am getting desperate.
I'm tearing my hair out...
BTW, I am getting a new MBP, but as it's a special order, it is going to take a week.
I need to access those messages now! Can anyone help?
Also, when I try importing the entire mail folder, it gives me a choice of everything except the main accounts inbox!
I could choose it's junk mail, deleted messages, it's outbox...
I should also mention both had Leopard 10.5.2
I can also open the individual mail documents in my inbox messages folder, but can't get them into the Mail app. Aaaaarrrghhh.

Well after a day of hair tearing I have finally figured it out.
I found a program called, emix to mbox converter, and I used that to convert all the mail files into an mbox file.
Then I was able to import that, and drag the emails into my .mac inbox.
It's taking a while to transfer them from the import folder to the inbox, but it is working... pheeew!

I can not get mobile internet from teltra working on my new Mac pro 13 any one can help me as telstra asked me to contact apple as they can not fix it Thank you in advance

Can some-one let me know how to get mobile internet with teltra working on mac pro.
Teltra could help me as they can't fix it and asked me to contact apple. The mobile device is working on all other computer (windows) but not Mac Pro
Thank you in advance

By contact Apple they mean AppleCare over the phone. This is the user forums, so no one from Apple will be able to assist you. AppleCare's phone number is (800)-APL-CARE (800-275-2273) for the United States.

Good morning any one can help me with his experience???????

ok, step 1. invest massive amounts of time in learning. write code. a lot. if it doesn't work, which it won't, find out why
step 2. work out at least a vague career plan. do you really want to be a programmer? I mean really? you might be enjoying yourself cutting a bit of code at home, but it's an entirely different game programming commercially. chances are you'll be working on and maintaining other peoples code a lot of the time, and unlike coding at home, you'll have actual real deadlines that actually really matter, and you'll actually really not enjoy missing a deadline very much at all. you won't be just writing code you want to write, more often than not somebody else will give you a set of requirements to implement, and if you're lucky you'll get a say in what they are. of course, you won't be working alone, so you'll have other people waiting for you to finish what you're working on, or you'll be held up waiting for somebody else to finish what they're working on, neither are attractive prospects. and the damn thing has to work, so you'll have hours of endless fun testing it, being told you got it wrong, having to re-do stuff and suchlike. you'll estimate that something will take you, say, 16 hours to write, and then halfway through those 16 hours you'll realize you're miles from the finish because sockets don't quite behave as you first thought they did, or actually, that widget isn't particularly reliable after all. so you've got 8 hours left to do 15 hours work, plus undoing all the wasted effort so far. if you're really unlucky, you'll have just tons of ceremony to follow, especially if you land a "cushy" public sector job, only to be told that, yes, they still use and follow SSADM, so goodbye getting any work done, hello tons of paperwork and rigmarole
then you find that, oops, I did quite well at coding back at uni, but now it's the real world, and, well, all those OO skills I thought I'd gained are actually pretty much valueless, so it's down to the bookstore to spend a fortune, and lots of late night catch-up sessions, because the world doesn't stand still, and in particular software development doesn't stand still, so it's either a constant struggle to keep up with the tide of new information - you want to be marketable, don't you? - or you find some dead-end job nailing new functionality onto the sides of ancient legacy systems written on an Atari ST 15 years ago, only they were only ever designed to do one thing well, and with every new module shoehorned into it you can actually hear it groan and creak and you just know you're doing a terrible job, professionally speaking, and nothing to be proud of at all but it pays the bills. until you get bored and want to leave, only to find that - yep, you've guessed it - your skills are murderously out of date, knowing Java isn't enough any more, there's J2EE to contend with, and you don't want to learn about EJB cos they're so horrible, but everyone still wants you to have the skill, or they think they do, as well as JSP and Servlets, and oh have you ever deployed this on Linux or HP-UX? and the frameworks. oh! the frameworks! every damn company you look at working for has a totally different set of tools they use, and although it's technically all just SQL they'd prefer if you'd used Oracle, or SQL Server, or DB2. what? what's object-relational-mapping, you cry! so it's back to the bookstore again, more late night sessions. or maybe you choose a professionally run training course, only that turns out to be run by some other guy who didn't really know what he was doing, and decided "yes! training! that's where the money is!" and is basically re-hashing some exercises out of Connolly-Begg or something, and is basically a months salary down the drain. by this time you might be thinking "well, this isn't at all what I thought it would be", but it's too late now, you're a coder and there's no denying it. you think about looking at other areas, but that means either a huge pay cut, or more re-training. and all you wanted to do was write code for a living - it can't be that hard, you enjoy it at home right?
liking coding for fun and doing it for a living are a world apart. the absolute minimum requirement before even considering it is to have the ability to solve problems without other peoples help. well? what are you waiting for??

Some one can help me with Properties()

hi, i try and i try to reasign one group of final static var, and i cant, so i see can i use the Properties() class to reasign one final static var.

If the link doesnt work, search "imac 3gb ram".
Or better yet, their special 3GB upgrade for only $265.99!!!???

As they are listed on RAMSEEKER.com they would appear to be Mac friendly but it's a little odd they don't advertise that deal on their own website (link) though.
Because of the Intel chipset and the way peripherals are addressed the Core 2 Duo (Merom) Macs can't address more than 3Gb of RAM. You could install 4Gb to get the dual-channel advantage but it's a minimal speed gain as you'll still only get 3Gb RAM available to the OS and the cost of 2Gb SODIMMs is much higher than 1Gb.

It's rude to double post.
It's futile (at best) to advertise your time pressure.
It's pointless to use a forum like this but not actually ask a question.

Some one Can help me with a big problem

i need to get the IP from the pc how visit my site. so, i try before the next instructions.
request.getRemoteHost() // this send me the proxy IP no the user IP.
request.getRemoteUser() // this send me a null value.
if you have another way to obtain the IP user
Regards.

public java.lang.String getRemoteAddr()Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client that sent the request. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_ADDR.
Returns:
a String containing the IP address of the client that sent the request
getRemoteHost
public java.lang.String getRemoteHost()Returns the fully qualified name of the client that sent the request. If the engine cannot or chooses not to resolve the hostname (to improve performance), this method returns the dotted-string form of the IP address. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_HOST.
Returns:
a String containing the fully qualified name of the client

Until Apple resolves such issues, there is not much we can do.
However, try to restart your iPad. This helps more than most people realize.
I hope this helps, but I cannot guarantee anything till Apple releases further bug fixes.

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck

Only you can make that determination. All things being equal the 2.5 GHz model is slower.
