Can I transfer scripts Automator in Mac OS 10.6 to El Capitan?

I put my iMac to level 2007, running OS to a whole new 10.6.x Mac running El Capitan. I rely on a few scripts on a regular basis that I built years ago with Automator. For example, I have a script that renames files image of my Canon EOS of 'IMG_1234' to '20151211_1234'... the word "IMG" with the date that the photo was taken. I use the script by right-clicking the imported images and in a few seconds, the files are all named.

How can I get these scripts running on my new iMac? I would appreciate any advice on the transfer of the script files themselves, or how Automator (or the equivalent alternative) work with El Capitan so I can recreate.

Thank you.

Is it Automator Services where you right-click and choose in the menu of Services?  If they live in your library > Services folder. Will in the hold of the Finder and hold the option key and the menu > library and access to Services.  You should be able to copy relevant .workflow of your old Mac packages in this folder on your new Mac.

  • How can I transfer all the messages/conversations from my iphone to messages.app on my mac?

    Hi people,

    Maybe someone can help me:

    How can I transfer the entire contents of my messages app on my iphone to the messages on my mac app?

    the problem is, when I create in the messages app a new account with my appl ID (for example on a new mac) I also use with my iphone, so everything worked very well for the starting point of creation.

    BUT... some older posts, I have on my iphone will appear in the new messages.app - account on my mac.

    I have thousands of old messages and conversations, I now can only see on my phone or with some more or less useful third party apps. those who cannot vonert messages to a PDF file or som other format useful semi > but no one can transfer it in the messages app.

    • I learned that apple does not save my imessages for more than 72hours (which makes me happy because of the confidentiality of the data), so I can't take via imessages-servers.
    • I also learned that it is possible to transfer data from the library files to a previous account. but unfortunately, I've just accidentally deleted those files, so this solution won't help:
      • I had serious problems to enable the transfer of SMS on a second mac (I guess I failed it in between), I went in the ususal trial & error-process and disabled the account of messages on the mac.
      • After that, I deleted all caches using onyx. then I restarted the iphone and the macbook and restarted the messages app.
      • the app behave like the 'never used before': I entered my apple, app ID remind my cell phone number and all other settings from the old account, but THE MESSAGES WERE GONE alle.
      • I don't know I deleted the using onyx. but there should be a way to win back them?

    the system configuration:

    • Start "2011-17 - macbook pro with latest el capitan (10.11.6)"
    • iPhone 6 with latest iOS (9.3.5)

    PLEASE Please HELP me - even if I use third-party software...

    Hello

    Can't do.

    iMessages are pushed by the iMessages servers to devices recorded at this time there.

    They are not held on servers and are deleted as soon as receiving devices accept.

    (that is, it is not like electronic mail that can be left on the server (POP) or rest on the (IMAP) server to be retried by other devices that can identify you later).

    How the files/iMessages are stored on the iPhone and the way the Mac stores are not the same.

    It is possible to have the iPhone one store backup via iTunes on Mac.

    From there on, it is possible to use third party applications to read (check out them and make them as text files), but they cannot be forced into Messages.

    By copying and pasting entire conversations from one chat to another it's the Mac send s just like a long piece of text with few (not in use) formatting.

    Can also have problems with actually duplicate the whole file with space on the iPhone in the first place.

  • I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

    I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

    I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.
