iMail Backup NOW Question, and more b/u
Hi: My G5 (OX 10.4) is crashing and ready to die a slow (maybe fast) death. It starts up once in a while....but mostly freezes on startup. I tried to reinstall the original disk, but half way through it detects errors and can't continue.. It is running today (I shall leave on!)
SO: I finally ordered a new iMac --- but there is a 3 way delay.
I wish, now, to backup critical stuff to a harddrive....then import later when computer arrives.
No problem on various DOCUMENTS, and iphoto and itune libraries. Just drag and drop.
BUT HOW DO I BACK UP and SAVE all the mail that is in my iMail folders? I wish to , eventually, move those to my new computer.
ALSO: my AIRPORT has crashed as well on this old G5. I cannot pull up the DSL signal in my home on thsi computer (I get, AIRPORT NOT CONFIGURED in the menu, though I've tried to set up with my DSL provider). That's why I need to import using cable.
I appreciate the Apple Community help on this.
PS: Before I start dragging and dropping today, is there an easy way to BACK UP all my various things (except applications, etc/)/
