How To Backup Computer With My Passport For Mac
MacBook Pro (2007 I believe) MacBookPro2,2 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 OS X 10.6.8 Microsoft Office 2008 Entourage 12.3.3 Ok, here is the issue. Bought a My Passport for Mac 500gb external hd for a new MacBook Pro purchased 2 days ago to transfer everything over. Did the back up onto My Passport (took forever but finally got there) and then did the transfer to new MacBook. Everything went smoothly, until I checked Entourage and it was a complete blank slate.
Went back to old MacBook to check the Entourage there and Disk Utility popped up and we choose 'check file integrity. Now the Entourage on my old Macbook lastest email is from May 5th 2011. I do not regularly back up my system (I know, I should) so I am assuming that the old MacBook used an old backup to restore file integrity. Does this sound right?
I have a program called 'Finale Songwriter 2012' that I use to write and arrange a lot of music. I've copied most of the files on my Passport to my computer but have a problem.

This does not affect your Microsoft User Data folder. I suspect there is a problem with your old drive and the data is failing to copy. It's unclear if Entourage opens on the old computer.
If yes, you can run this script to verify your data. If your data is good, export as.rge file for easier import into your new Identity. You can download and run this script on your Entourage Identity. (does not work in Outlook) The script will fail on a folder with corruption.
If there is no corruption the script will export all folders. Once you find corrupted folder, rename it with z in front of the name so it sorts at the bottom then run the script again. Keep repeating until you have identified all corrupt folders. Once you have identified corruption, you can subdivide folders and keep running script until you get down to 25 messages.

Then you drag individual messages to the Desktop. A corrupt message will crash Entourage. After you clean all folders and reduce the size of the Inbox and Sent folders, do the File > Export as.rge file and you should get 'Done'. You can use this file to import into Outlook. Another option to get your data would be to create a free Gmail IMAP account.
Move your messages from 'On My Computer' folders to Gmail then add the account on your new computer and download. You can either leave on Gmail as extra backup or move to your 'On My Computer' folders.
