Had to Change Apple ID. Lost all Messages.

Had to change Apple ID because I no longer have access to the email address that I had been using for my Apple ID. Now i have lost all my Messages on my Mac. Is there anyway to get them back? If not, is there anyway to save the Messages that are on my iPad before I make the change on my iPad and lose the messages forever?

HI,
iMessages are linked ti the ID that was used.
On the iPad they are Gone.
If you have a Mac then in Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 you can use the same Apple ID
Then in the Preferences > Messages you can choose to Save History on closing the conversation.
The Chats/Conversations are then Saved on the Mac (in ~/Library/Messages/Archive)

Windows 7, had to change user profile, lost all my Thunderbird info. please help.

Worm or virus caused me to have to change my user profile in Windows 7. I have everything back looking more or less like it did before this disaster on my computer and I am once again able to get into Internet Explorer but when I go to my Thunderbird email, it is as if I have never used it before and it wants me to set it all back up again. All contacts are gone and all my old emails etc. How can I proceed to try to fix this problem?

I just hope you know what you're doing. How those registry manipulations would eliminate a virus infection is a miracle to me. Having said that, viruses are rare today, being infected with some sort of malware is much more likely.
In any case, this is what we have so far:
The old Windows account is underneath 'C:\users\john'.
The new Windows account is underneath 'C:\users\john.john-pc'.
There is an 'appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder in both Windows accounts.
Please confirm.
Also, in the 'john' Windows account there is a Thunderbird profile 'C:\users\john\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\wmekpsyz.default'.
It has a date of /1/29/2015. This would indicate it's a rather new profile. Can you confirm this is your old Thunderbird profile? If so, it should contain all your mail.
What Thunderbird profile do you see underneath 'C:\users\john.john-pc\appdata\roaming\thunderbird?
Can you post the contents of the file profiles.ini for both Windows accounts?

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

Call Apple sales support. Something apparently went wrong in your transaction. In the USA the number is 1-800-676-2775.
Best of luck.

HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

I recently changed computers and lost all my playlists from my itunes on my computer, i have them still on my phone. Is there a way i can get them back without making them all again?!

If the books were purchased at the iBookStore, you will be able to redownload, like the apps. Some other sellers, like O'Reilly, also allow multiple downloads.
If you have (or can install) iTunes on a computer (Mac preferable, not mandatory) and run it then plug the device in, does it show up? If the computer can detect it, you can and should do a complete backup onto local storage immediately. That can then be used to reconstruct the content of the device on a new or repaired replacement. If you enable encryption, even the passwords will get saved.

How can I sync bookmarks from my iPad BACK to ie6? My laptop had a rebuild and I lost all of my ie6 favourites, but they ar still on my iPad as bookmarks - just can figure out how to transfer back. I have ipad2 and ios5

My laptop running ms and outlook had to be re-loaded and as a result I lost all of my Internet explorer favourites. As I run iTunes on my laptop I do have all of th favourites synced through iTunes to my ipad2. How can I reverse synch my ipad2 so that the bookmarks are transferred back to my outlook pc

Follow the instructions here > Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
Make sure you select, "Bookmarks" in the iCloud window.
"Outlook 2007 or 2010 is required for accessing iCloud email, contacts, and calendars. Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later is required for accessing bookmarks."

Yosemite apple mail select all messages in conversation

It appears that
Mail/View/Select/All Messages In This Conversation
no longer works. The message list UI appears to indicate there are multiple messages in a conversation (they are highlighted, but not selected), but the above listed menu item is greyed out, and using the keyboard shortcut (cmd-shift-k) does nothing.
Is there a fix for this?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Had to format hard drive, lost all my local files

So I had to move my OS to an external hard drive because my built in drive began to fail. When I did this, I lost all of my music in local files obviously. The thing is, it still shows up on my mobile playlists, but they don't show at all (not even greyed out text) on my desktop version. Why can't I see them at all? I wanted to go through and redownload them all, but this makes it very difficult. Help please! EDIT: Ok, so I figured out how to see them (I didn't have the "Show unavaliable tracks in playlists check). So now, my question is there anyway to pull them from my phone onto my computer? Or do I need to download them one by one?

Sadly I have to say no there is not a way. The sync of local music files is one way, meaning from laptop and/or PC to phone and/or approved mp3 players.

I had to change apple id....how come icloud didn't change automatically?

Hello....looking for some help....I had to change my apple ID due to an email address being closed. So changed, not a problem...but I had forgotten about iCloud, and just assumed it would change automatically to my new apple ID, but it hasn't. And when I try to log in I unfortunately have forgotten that password, so I can't get a reset sent to that email address as it no longer exists. And if I choose another way apparently I have forgotten when my birthday is too (lol). And when on iCloud on my phone I can't change my apple ID....how can I fix this??

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Lost All Messages

All Messages were lost after restoring my iPhone 3GS. Only 2 backup options are showing, one with a date of the same day I restored my iPhone and the other doesn't show a date. Any clarifications of why this happened or how can I get my messages back is appreciated.

The problem is probably that the mailbox has lost the .mbox suffix in the filesystem.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
You’ll probably see an INBOX folder without the .mbox suffix there. If that’s the case, quit Mail and rename the folder to INBOX.mbox.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

New computer; lost all messages

Hi-
I've lost my messages and I sent myself a test from my hotmail account, and it wasn't received. Something is going on with my new computer. I just bought and set up a new iMac 20".
I migrated files via the method described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1872713
In terms of mail, the only thing suggest to bring over was: /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
I did so. But, when I opened mail, there's nothing there. Nothing in inbox, sent or deleted. And, like I said, when I sent myself a test, nothing came through.
Can anyone tell me how to get my messages and how to get my mail working again? I'm stumped. Thanks.

Also, just another piece of information that is weird, and I don't know if it helps. When I got to preferences in mail and click the "accounts" tab. I see my account there in the left but it says:
.Mac (inactive)
Sounds to me like my account is inactive but I have no idea why, and how to get it back. Everything was fine with my old Powerbook. This is a recent development with my iMac. Thanks.

Had to change Apple ID when updating to IOS 5; all my apps are still associated with old ID

I was forced to change my Apple ID to an email address when updating to IOS 5; now I have lots of problems because all my apps are associated with my old ID (for some reason they did not update to the new ID name). How do I fix this?
