MacBook :: Transfer Contacts From It To A Mac Desktop?
May 31, 2012
I need to zap my macbook to give to my husband but before I do that I need to transfer all my contacts, all my safari favorites and all my word processing documents. Is there an easy way to do this in 1, 2 or 3 batches instead of manually.
im new to Apple products. I bought a macbook pro in dec 2009 and today i decided to buy a imac for many reasons. How do i transfer my music, movies, contacts and other things from my macbook pro to my new imac ? I should have asked in the store but i forgot.
Do you know of any software I can download for free that enables me to store my 1000 or so contacts from my Samsung Solstice phone? I've been looking around for days now but haven't found anything useful. Nor do I know how will the transfer will actually happen - can I bluetooth the contacts to my Macbook Pro, keeping all the info intact (names, different #s for home, work, etc.)?
I need to restore my phone to factory settings but don't want to lose all my contacts. How do I transfer my contacts from my iPhone 4s to my Mac through iCloud? I don't want to restore and retrieve the data but instead I want to manual import the contacts once the phone is restored like brand new.
how to transfer their contacts from mobile me to icloud? I am pressed to get all my business contacts back b/c right now icloud deleted them when I kept my same e-mail address but moved to icloud.
I have created a new group for specific contacts, and I would llike to transfer that group to the contacts on my iPhone 4S. I could type in all of the entries on the iPhone, but it would take a while. Much easier if I could just send it over from my MAC Pro tower.
Info: Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 16 gig RAM, 5 tb storage, 240 gb SS
I just bought a new iMac to replace my 8 year old MacPro and was advised here to install all apps with a clean install rather than migrate 8 years of content over to the new machine.How do I transfer over my Contacts, Mail folders and Safari bookmarks?
I had a drive go bad on my G5 desktop. Luckily I am all backed up on my G4 LAPTOP. I put a new drive in the G5 & installed OS 10.5 (the G4 lap runs 10.4) and installed the apps from the original discs onto the new G5 drive. However, I am missing my Photoshop CS2 disc. My question is, how do I transfer Photoshop CS 2 from my laptop to the new G5 drive? I don't want to buy another $200 CS2 app.
Due to the slow internet available in my area and the cost of Verizon service, can I transfer updates from my laptop to my desktop? I use the library forupdates as their speed is much faster and I can carry the laptop.
I have a 24" iMac and it was running fine the other week and now I get this annoying error=36 whenever I try to transfer large files from desktop to my external drives. It goes about 1/4 way with the transfers then stops with the error=36 message. I've tried to reset the pram but it won't let me. It just keeps on restarting to the same gray screen with the single short beep tone over and over until I let go of the option, command, P & R buttons and restarts normally but does not reset the pram.
It seems that the contacts app has suddenly become incapable of accessing my contacts in the cloud. Its fine on icloud.com, its fine on my phone, and its fine on my ipads. However, I'm getting an error message right now which I think must be to do with an update to Little Snitch which I did almost immediately before, and which necessitated a reboot. Since the reboot, I am seeing the following
Of course, this also means Messages doesnt work. LS is not blocking any icloud things, and calendars and mail are still working with no issues.
I'm not exactly sure of where to post this... I'm having a problem with my computer (Address Book, I believe) syncing w/ Google contacts. I'm getting the following error messages:
The first image is the original error that comes up. If I click More Info, it brings me to a list of contacts. The "Before" info contains the correct fields for their email addresses (e.g., school, work, etc). However, Google wants to get rid of these fields.
Is there any way I can get Google to accept this fields? Also, can I have Google revert to my Mac's info instead of the other way around (my mac using Google's changes)

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro and an older (5 year old) Western Digital external hard drive. I have always used this hard drive for both mac and windows. Recently, however, whenever I go to transfer a file from the mac to the WD hard drive, the little transfer window pops up and it appears to initiate the transfer. However, it never fully starts it. It appears to "get stuck" in that initiating stage, showing zero of 3.16 gb transferred and shows an unknown transfer time. This happens no matter how long I leave it open. Again, I have used this external hard drive with my macs for the past 5 years without any problems until now. I haven't moved or modified the WD hard drive
I want to keep my school files on desktop two so they are all in the same place, and use desktop one as a place to perhaps save photos or other files not school related. When I swipe between desktops, the school files move between the desktops as I swipe but I want to keep them on one desktop all the time.
They're still accessible through finder, but now I can't drag-and-drop anything (at all) to the desktop. It was fine a minute ago before I shut down and rebooted my laptop. Restarts and switching users does nothing. I'm using Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4.
So over the last month or 2, I have been having this issue where my MBP (early 2008) will act as though the desktop doesnt exist. I can see it, everything functions normally, all programs operate fine, I can use spaces, expose, etc, but when I try to interact with my desktop, nothing works. I cant highlight folders, I can click on anything. Anyone know what might be causing this?
Want to use extended desktop and have the backround image be the same on both. Want to set it on My MacBook and have it be the same on my LCD projected image. Currently I have to set the computer AND then set the projector separately looking a the projected image,
After upgrading to 10.7.3 all my contacts on both adress book and iPhone are gone. what is left are only the ones in iCloud (which only some small numbers of contacts compared the ones on my 'all from my mac'-which was my problem to begin with, why can't it all sync?) luckily for me, the contacts are still there on my MS Outlook contacts, but i cant sync it back to my adress book. does anyone had the same problem?
