As you erased the drive and reinstalled Mac OS X, Time Machine detects it as a new OS X copy, so it's normal you can't see your old backups. To solve this, see > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html
If you want to restore all your old data, use Migration Assistant instead > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user with your transferred files

  • I have lost all of my iphone contacts.  How do i get them back from icloud?

    I have lost all of my Contacts on iPhone.  I switched off Contacts in iCloud and did not save the numbers to my phone, thinking that when I switched Contacts back on, it would resync and it does not appear to be doing so.  Any help to get my contacts back on my phone from iCloud would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

    pls tell me to to get back the bookmark menu. I haven't saved them other places.

  • Have lost all my mail folders on Thunderbird, how do i get them back?

    I lost my second search window for Thunderbird Mail so went to VIEW, TOOLBARS and selected all three options - MAIL, STATUS and QUICK FILTER. I got my search window back that enables me to search my emails for messages from a specific person. However, I then lost all of my folders (mailboxes) in my inbox - everything from A to Z bar two folders titled ALFIE and APPLE MAC EMAILS.
    These folders contain everything email like from my clients that is relevant to my business. Each folder is a client name and each contains any number of emails and replies.
    I clicked the REPAIR FOLDER option in order to try and do exactly that, repair the folders but so far that only appears to have been applied to the emails in my inbox, the ones that have not yet been filed in the individual folders.
    I moved to Thunderbird because I was told it was a safe and easy to use system but I am struggling with this aspect of it.
    Any help gratefully received!

    No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
    I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.

    How were they syncing before; were they in iCloud or maybe in one of your email accounts?

  • HT201210 I accidentally restored my iPhone 5 for the first time and now I have lost all my photos and contacts. How do i get them back?

    So I plugged in my iPhone 5 to my computer for the first time and I accedentally pressed restore. My wife has a iPhone 4s and has plugged in her phone to the computer many times to sync. So when i restored i got all her photos and lost mine which were very very importent. So how do I get my photos back?

    Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone.  They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Did you fail to import your photos before updating?  If so, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.  If that fails then they are gone.  You should regularly import photos to your computer, most especially before any update.
    Did you fail to transfer any purchases on iphone ( that were not on your computer) to your computer before updating?  If so, then you will have to redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I had to update my ipad, and lost all my Harry Potter books! How do I get them back?

    Uploaded them from Pottermore from my home computer, then to the Ipad, Now with recent upload all my books are gone. How do I get them back? Any ideas guys!

    You have the files on your computer? If so, then just get them back into iTunes and sync them back onto your iPad. You can use the books part of iTUnes, or if you reader app has a data transfer option, use that to sync them back onto your device.

  • Updated to the newest version and tried to manage my email the way I always do and LOST ALL my important filed emails. How do I get them back? This will now cost me over $50.00 to lost actions pending.

    My "deleted" email is supposed to go into a holding area where I then have a second chance to save or delete for good. I use this method to temporarily save my current files while redirecting the older files to another account, then putting the "deleted" files back into the active account. When I did this the last time all the files were deleted permanently and I want to know why. How do I make sure this won't happen again? Because of this, I now have lost at LEAST $50.00 in pending rebates and over payments that were pending.

    I have read a lot of suggestions concerning my problem, the thing is I don't have the option of Re-downloading and in the file menu when I get my library options I don't even have the option of backing up my movie, music, apps, and I don'tt have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Open itunes store  Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links", simply does not work for me. I certainly would like to contact itunes support who would kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. But then don't answer my cry for help, so again I am stuck with nothing after I bought over 1000.00 dollars worth of movies, music, apps and I don' t have acces to any of it. Thank you Apple for making me feel like a valued customer,
    Thank you all for your help but it just doesn't work 4 m2.

  • Upon turning on my computer, Firefox was Yahoo optimized w/o asking me, and I lost all my tabs....How do I get them back?

    I am furious....I dont want to optimize my browser for Yahoo.....and when I started my computer this morning, it started in Firefox without asking me, without my Walnut add on, and no tabs, of which I had many.....now I have the walnut add on, but am missing all my many tabs that I used every day....is there a place where they are stored? Why did this happen? Who said it was alright for Yahoo to step in and optimize for themselves? I dont want Yahoo search, I want Google search...

    I think I found your backup ...
    from Apple Support:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note:  If you do not see the AppData or Application  Data folders, you may need to  show  hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista,  Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Lost all my emails in my inbox, how can I get them back

    I am told I can contact Firefox and they can put them back. Is that so, and how do I contact Firefox?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I realized that if I went to Internet Explorer, I could get my emails back. You go to delete and there is a choice to recover deleted emails. When I did thatl 33 emails went into deleted. Then I just picked the ones that go into my inbox and delete the rest.
