Lost Emails, Contacts, when migrated from powerbook G4 to macbook pro

[kalsoning]

I just got my new Macbook Pro. I use the migration assistance to
transfer all my data from Powerbook G4, everything went over except all
my emails, address, task, calendar information, i have nothing on
Entourage, Mail, Address Book, ICal. I have search all over to see if
is a common problem, but no luck at all. I did a spolight search, i can
see the files but it doesn't let me transfer them.
Can anybody help me?....Any suggestion.....please. I have spend the
entire day with no luck
Thank You.

For entourage to find the mail, it must be ion a specific place.

Under OS 9/Office 2001 the correct location for your identity folder is in:

<Startup Diskocuments:Microsoft User Data:Office 2001 Identities:

Under OS X/Office vX it's:

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/
(where '~/' is your current login's 'Home' directory)

Under OS X/Office 2004 it's:

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/

Make sure you put your main identity folder in there, then if you still
can't see it when you restart Entourage, try to change identities (it's
under the File menu) and see if your identity shows up in the list.

Entourage stores its data in <your username>/Documents/Microsoft User Data,
so I'd recommend copying that folder from your PowerBook to your MacBook Pro
again, to see if that makes a difference. Note that you should quit any
running Office applications on your MacBook Pro, and the Database Daemon
(run Activity Monitor, select Database Daemon from that list and click on
the Quit button in the upper left corner) before you attempt to do so. Also,
make sure that the version of Office you are using on your MacBook Pro is
up-to-date, and that the Test Drive of Office that ships with every new Mac
is removed properly using the Remove Office tool provided by Microsoft
(Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office).

If none of the above methods are working, or if anything's unclear, post
back!
