Old profile will be migrated but I forgot to backup existing profile before you rename it. Best way to retrieve emails to the original profile that still exists as * .old?

Of course, I left on stage backup or export, do not know that. In any case, won't make things worse so thought better to ask before proceeding. I've renamed existing "new but used" profile *.old and copied old profile in the same folder, giving the name of the profile 'new but used '. There are emails in the profile "new but used" I need to recover. What is the best way to proceed?

Thank you
Mike

OK, either copy all the files from the old to the new mbox and place them in local folders. do not copy * .msf files (they are just indexfiles and will be recreated)

delete panacea.dat
It will be re-created. (it contains a list of directories and files)

or get an Add on ExportImportTools that can help you import an mbox.

When they are in local folders you can move.

  • I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    Transfer of license with a twist

    So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.

    If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone.  Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315

    If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows.  Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

  • I forgot to disable Adobe products before you reinstall Windows 7 and now can not activate

    I used Photoshop CS3 and InDesign 5.5 on two computers, so all my activations are exhausted. On one of these computers, my Windows 7 system was very rough and I decided to reinstall. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off my Adobe programs before you reinstall the operating system. I reinstalled Photoshop and InDesign, but I can't turn it back on because the Adobe system considers as I already have the maximum number of facilities.

    How can I solve my problem, now I can no longer speak with an Adobe engineer who has access to my registration information?

    (Please do not confuse this post with another I sent this morning on Photoshop stopping working on my other laptop and refusing to reinstall.) And again with this laptop, if I managed to reinstall Photoshop, how do I activate, since I am unable to reactivate before uninstall/reinstall? I added that note, since the question of activation is shared by two laptops.)

    You should contact the Adobe Support via chat and ask them to reset your activations.  Since you seem to have several problems, be sure to ask the help of reset.  If you start to ask for help more they may not help at all and you will return to these forums where no one can help you.

  • The best way to transfer items from the old to the new mac?

    I don't want to transfer the 'bad things' of my old macbook pro to my new macbook air.

    I understand how to transfer my whole system, but which would also take the old stuff I want to leave behind.  You are addressing a model here, so that's why I'd like my new mac to not be infiltrated by bad things.  I cleaned as best as I can on my old mac.

    I think that I can choose what to take charge using a different method.  I discovered only where are my emails.  Use this as an example, do you think that it a bad idea for me to decide what to transfer?  I'd hate to lose points.  I really need to transfer all my word documents and software I use, for example, my family ancestry tree software.  Apart from the word, my tree (which has been downloaded using a disc), software emails, I can leave behind everything else.  Please give me your impressions.

    I suggest that you use the Migration Wizard. You might find this article helpful: move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support

  • What is the best way to give a user the ability to stop a vi or rerun it? I wrote something that works, but I imagine that this is not the best way to do it.

    I have a VI that executes a stepper motor, and then stops. I wanted the operator to have the option to re-run the VI or causes the complete stop. To do this, I added a while loop around the whole VI. I have an example VI showing how I made it, but I don't know that there is a more effective approach. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    There is almost never a good reason to use the stop signal stop execution.

    Your loop is fine.  What you really want to do, is make a machine to States which has at least 2 States. 1. perform the test.  2 inactive, waiting for the user to hit a button to re-run, or hit a button to end program.

    Transfer files and settings from another computer
    (This is a web link, click on it.  There is even a video.)

    PS - you install your applications (office suites, alternative web browsers, customers of messaging, plugins, games, etc) manually using the installation media and you SHOULD do before using the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard.

  • I'm about to buy a new laptop. I have installed the upgrade to Office 2007 some time ago and have the CD, but I don't have the original CD that I used to install Office 2003. How can I install Office 2007 on my new computer with only the upgrade CD?

    I am currently running XP.  I expect that the new laptop has Windows 7.

    Without the original installation media, Microsoft Office 2003, you cannot install a version upgrade of Microsoft Office 2007.  You would need to purchase a version of "Full license" of Office 2007. Carey Frisch

  • I forgot to backup bookmarks, restore them where

    I uninstalled Firefox, then re-installed, but I forgot to backup bookmarks - in fact I forgot to backup everthing. But when I uninstalled, I did NOT check the option "Remove my Firefox personal data", then after I re-installed, all my passwords, the previous settings. Adds-ons are there except bookmarks.

    I couldn't save my favorites, but it is there anywhere my personal data including bookmarks are stored?

    You have a folder bookmarkbackups with backups inside JSON?

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • Is backup of the programs installed on a user's profile before you rebuild the profile as possible?

    Hello

    I just want to know if there is a way to backup installed programs before you rebuild a user profile.

    I'm pretty used to reconstruct profiles but I'm looking for a solution to restore the programs as well after the recreation of the user profile. It's quite tedious to install old software on the new profile. Is anyway to backup installed programs via the registry so that they will not have to be installed again (as they are already installed on the computer anyway) after the recreation of the user profile?

    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Best way to migrate without Vmotion virtual computer

    Hi all

    I was wondering if you have ESX vmotion but have HA which is the best way to migrate the virtual computer on to the oringal in a cluster host when HA moves a virtual machine because of a failure of the host.

    I know that you can export the VM over the other host when he returns to the top and you can add it to the inventory if it is a hardware failure and the original host will not return upward anytime soon.  What is the best way to achieve this?  is there maybe a console command to grow HA a virtual machine over another host or export is still the best way?

    Welcome to the forums - with vmotion output, there is no way to do it with out the time - the easiest way is to turn off the virtual machine - unsubscribe form the host is on - don't use the browser to store data on the second andreadd from host to host and turn on the virtual machine - you should be able to do this in less than 5 minutes.

  • Unable to transfer files of OutlookExp in Mac TB - WinXP OutExp to WinXP TB24.4 good migration; but Mac TB24.4 has no import options or profile replacemen

    Moving to Thunderbird - I am trying to eliminate my use of WinXP and migrate fully to Mac OSX. I have successfully transferred my many files of dbx (total 3.65 GB of messages) from Outlook Express in TB24.4.0 (such as files with null, msf and sbd) when Outlook and XP TB reside on the same virtual XP (Parallels) from my Mac machine. When I try to fill TB in the side Mac OS10.8.5 with the files, I can't. Tools > import there is no option for Outlook files, just Apple & Eudora mail. Of in Mac TB, I am able to locate the location of the profile (Tools > Configuration Acct > local folders), but in the Finder, it seems not - is hidden. Therefore, neither of these approaches allow import of my emails or the replacement of the current records with my emails. In my first step, I was able to transfer the .wab file Mac address using import to tuberculosis. No luck since. Advice is appreciated.

    I'm glad that you guessed it, to work, but just to clarify, to transfer the entire Thunderbird folder, rather than just the profile subfolder, is suggested because it makes useless edit profiles.ini.

    Move from one OS to another way some preferences in the profile will not properly transfer as an attachment for the opening of applications, but the repair for this is to remove mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder and let the TB to create a new empty version. The correct preferences will be set the first time you open attachments.

  • I'm the original purchaser of Creative Suite Premium. Still, she meets my needs but will not re - install after I upgraded my box to win 10. Win 10 is not the problem, and my Adobe customer profile indicates that the product is registered. Adobe just does

    I'm the original purchaser of Creative Suite Premium. Still, she meets my needs but will not re - install after I upgraded my box to win 10. Win 10 is not the problem, and my Adobe customer profile indicates that the product is registered. Adobe just doesn't let me activate it. Can you help me?

    If you're referring at the origin of Creative Suite (CS1) then this activation server was closed by Adobe a few years ago.

    The only way to re - install now is to download a new version without activation for CS2 (also applies to CS1 owners).

    Error: "Activation Server is not available. CS2, Acrobat 7, pass a hearing 3

    Install, then enter the new, without activation serial number provided at this link (column next to the download link). Your existing serial number no longer works.
