How do I access my personal folders in my email account? They were there but in the latest set up they've disappeared

It's hard to know whether your hard drive has actually failed or if your system has just gotten badly corrupt. If the former, unfortunately, there may be no way to get any data off the drive at this point. If there aren't any backups of that data, it will be gone forever, unless perhaps a high-priced (ie, in the thousand dollar range) data recovery service has some luck with it.
If the system and/or hard drive are badly corrupt, the same may be true. Some or all of that data may be irrevocably corrupt by now. However, there are some ways that you can attempt to recover from this situation without paying such huge fees. First, if you have access to another Mac, and both have Firewire ports, you can connect the two using Firewire target disk mode. This will mount the damaged drive as if it were an external hard drive on the second Mac, and could allow you to copy some data from the drive.
Another possibility would be to buy an external hard drive, install Mac OS X on it and boot the machine from that, then copy any data from there that you can.
In both of these cases, it may be helpful to scan the damaged drive for recoverable files using something like Data Rescue.
There are also some possible ways to repair the drive if you can't do either of those things, but any repairs at this point could potentially destroy data. I only recommend this as a last resort. Still, if all other options have failed, try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior. This can fix problems that Disk Utility (and fsck, the command-line tool that it sounds like you may have used) cannot. It is possible that DiskWarrior will be able to get the drive back in working order long enough to get the data recovered, though of course it's also possible the process will be destructive.
If none of the above work, you'll have to seek professional help.

  • HT201774 How can. I add other folders to mt email account in my iPhone, can't see how to do this with iOS latest version

    How can I add p my other email folders such as sent items and personal folders I have set up to m iPhone Mail. It's a hotmail account and I am on latest b
    Version of iOS. I had them sent up on old version of iOS but the new iOS removed them and I can't see his to add then back.
    Thanks,
    Denise

    That's not a supported function of the calendar on iOS. I believe it is because iOS syncs directly with the Exchange Server using Active Sync.  I could be wrong, but I don't believe ActiveSync supports this feature (thus, it's not actually a missing feature in iOS, it's a missing feature in ActiveSync, which is a Microsoft product).
    BB uses an intermediary service and does not sync directly between the device and the Exchange server.

    Juast sold my MacBook. Want to close my email account on the MacBook but keep it on my iMac?  How do I do this?

    You can do the same thing opening Mail, then under Mail, open Preferences, highlight the account and click the minus sign at the bottom of that panel.
    Either approach should delete the account from that machine.

  • How can i get a later version of i movie after 7.1.4 but not the latest one for yosemite.

    i dont want to update to yosemite.  i have version 10.8.5 snow lion and i like it.  have read a lot about yosemite that i didnt want to mess with, such as i tunes 12, i already hated what they did to i tunes when we lost cover flow.  even though i have updates through the mountain lion update my i movie is still version 7.1.4 and i wanted to know if there's any updates i could get up to mountain lion for i movie. 

    probably this should help: (Its a direct link to download)
    iMovie 9.0.9
    As the system requirements shows, it can run on OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later.
    Actually you can even go to the 'Mac App Store' on your device, it should automatically show you the compatible version for the OS you are using.

  • How do I access music from different countries? My account is in Australia

    How do I access music from different countries? My account is in Australia and I want to purchase music in Franch

    In order to buy from another country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    This, BTW, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.

  • My husband has retrieved emails from my exchange email account. I deleted them from the trash bin. How is he doing this?

    OK, let's come back to the original issue; how are deleted messages retrievable?
    First, is the account set up as an Exchange account or a POP account? I'll assume it's Exchange. If it were POP the answer is obvious.
    If it's an Exchange account are you deleting the messages from the phone or from some other computer? If you are deleting them from another computer they will not be removed from the Trash folder on the phone until the phone next syncs AND the Trash folder is opened. But this will take time. You can force the Trash folder to sync in near real time by going into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap on the Exchange account, tap on Mail Folders to Push and check "Deleted Items". Note that doing this will result in increased data usage and reduced battery life.
    If I haven't described the situation tell me what assumptions I made that are incorrect.

  • Suddenly my email folders are no longer sub folders under my email account

    Everything was as usual this morning and now all of a sudden my email folders no longer show as sub folders under my email account. The InBox is in the middle of the other folders and I can NOT find the main account for which all of my folders were listed under.
    I really don't know how else to explain this and just hope someone can give me some help.
    Thanks.

    If I had just waited for your response I could have saved myself a lot of stress and work.
    What you suggested is exactly what I finally found out. I have NO idea how I managed to change that option.
    Thanks.

  • Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

    Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing.  They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

    How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
    In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera.  If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
    If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac,  follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.)  On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted.  If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
    It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
    It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
    Here are some more ideas you can consider:
    Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be.  They may be visible there now.
    If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used.  Spotlight may give you a list of places to look.  If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images.  My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types. 
    You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search.  The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility"  choice.
    debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
    If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
    If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large.  For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks.  Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
    If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
    debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
    I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
    I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7).  You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
    debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
    I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files.  If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images.  However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
    You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied.  To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
    debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
    You're most welcome.
    If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

    Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
    The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
    If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
    You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same  Apple ID.

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
