HT201269 Where can I find my mail on time machine to restore my mail folders?

I have just synched my first ihpone with my imac.  I thought the data would copy from the imac to the ipone bu the reverse seems to have happened.  I was using mail folders to store all my important messages and they have all disappeared.  I am now trying to resotr ethem using Time Machine but I can't locate them on there.  I have looked at previous forums on this but the cmd shift G search advice isn't working.

  • Where can I find old emails in Time  Machine?

    Just need to find an older email in time machine. Where can I find it? i.e in which folder etc.
    Thanks heaps.

    Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. Scroll back in the time-travel view to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox. From there you can move them wherever you like.

  • Where can I find my pictures in Time Machine?

    In the Finder I can find my pictures after right-clicking IPhoto and then under Originals. But when I open Time Machine and want to check if my data have been backuped correctly I can find my music and documents but not my Pictures. Where can I find them?

    Open iPhoto and select Browse Backups from the File menu. iPhoto's library is stored in the /Home/Pictures/ folder.

  • Icalendar - most, not all, entries have disappeared - where can I find back up on Time Machine?

    For some reason, most of my calendar entries have gone - not all of them.
    I have a Time Machine that backs up regularly.
    I I wanted to find a recent back up of icalendar, where would I find it on Time Machine, so that I can 'Restore' accordingly?

  • Where can I find a mail that's stored in quarantine?

    We have a user that doesn't get all the mail he should. I turned on forwarding all mails that Spam Assasin gets, and soon one of the mails got caught there!
    So, I got the message:
    "The message has been quarantined as:
    spam-5ed7458e42ce8e31a18299f33ee85b12-20111219-235053-20971-09.gz"
    Where can I find this mail?
    Tia!

    In Finder? Finder's an app that doesn't have any folders. When trying Spotlight, expand the search criteria to include System files, and try again.

  • HT201269 where can i find the file/backup file on my account?and how to sync data files one by one manually as i have been told to do so to avoid error restore from my existing backup files from your Sydney Apple Store yesterday? i want my old messages, n

    where can i find my data/backup file on my account? thanks

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:

  • How can i find missing backup on Time Machine (for Mac)?, How can i find missing backup on Time Machine (for Mac)?

    I backed up my computer on August 8th 2010 with Time Machine. I'm absolutely certain I did. But some reason there's a gap. I have a backup of my computer from just before that date, and just after that date, but August 8th is missing.
    Is there any way to recover my files from this date? What's happening? It can't have started automatically deleting files because I have backups from as far back as June 2010 (when I started using time machine).
    Thank you

  • I recently lost access to external hard drive connected to my iMac (no icon visible). My iTunes and iPhoto files are accessed from this drive.  I can't seem to get the time machine to restore these two. that drive was NOT excluded from time machine backup

    Hi.
    help!  recently I noticed  the external drive icon missing from my desktop...the one with my huge itunes and iphoto libraries. I tried several things but couln't get it back. So I tried to restore to an older date in time machine with no success. I'm sure the drive was not set for exclusion from the backups. Any thoughts as to where i'm going wrong? I was under the impression that external drives were also backed up with time machine...am I delusional?

    Frequently doing a SMC reset will help this issue, for directions please click the iMac SMC and PRAM reset link. Also check the obvious such as cables and connections. Or it's even possible the EHD has failed, they can and do.

  • Where can I find archived mail and how can I retrieve it?

    I archived emails I wanted to keep and retread later, but I don't know where they've gone to or how to get them to read. Any help will be appreciated. I have an iPad mini , the iOS is 6.1 I'm pretty sure.

    What email service are you using POP3, IMAP, Google, iCloud, your internet service provider?
    With POP3 by default the iPad is set to delete old emails automatically. POP3 accounts such as the one your internet service provider gave you will have settings on the iPad you can change. Go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/"Your Email Account"/Advanced and set Deleted Emails/Remove to never. I find this option is not labeled very well and gives the impression it is for the messages in the Trash, but auto deletes messages in the Inbox as well.
    IMAP accounts such as iCloud and GMail are on the server and effect all devices.

  • Where Can I Find The Fonts On My 2 Software Restore DVDs ?

    Recently I completely erased my eMac and installed OSX Tiger from a Tiger DVD, which I then updated to OSX 10.4.10.
    I was able to retrieve the original eMac applications from the Software Restore DVDs using Software Restore.
    However, I have just discovered that the latest OS does not include all the previous fonts. Some of my favourites including Portago and Textile are missing.
    I assume that these fonts are somewhere on the original eMac DVDs - but where are they and how do I get at them?
    I have Pacifist but am not too sure about its use.
    Ian.

  • Can't find my data from Time Machine network backup

    Migration assistant shows inconsistent sizes for applications, computer settings and other files/folders, about 30GB when I had 270 GB only in pictures.
    I did a clean Mavericks install.
    How do I find my data from the TimeMachine network backup?
    The size of the TimeMachine backup is consistent with what I had before ( >300 GB)...so how do I recover it?.
    I'm using a new user account name in the clean installation.
    Thanks

    Read a few threads about this being a problem with account access, so I renamed the account in my new installation to the account name used to create the backup and found the old accounts....now when trying to proceed it told me there was a conflict with the account name and i had to use a different one!!.
    Apple has stopped to be simple...
    So how are we suppose to use the migration assistant if either way there is a problem? ( using same or different account name )...

  • Can't find iphoto library after time machine migration of 2011 imac to osx 2014 imac

    I recently purchase latest 5K Retina display iMAC with Yosemite. Had a 2011 Intel iMAC it had a flash drive with latest iphoto library. An older iphoto library was located on the standard HD on the 2011 iMAC. EVerything on this computer was backed up with Time capsule.
    When I purchased new computer, I used migration assistant and the Time capsule to migrate files to new iMAC. The newer iphot libray is present but cant find the older one.
    What did I do wrong?

    Download Find Any File (www.macupdate.com) and do a search for the library.

  • HT201250 How can I find a file on Time Machine.

    The file was on my Desktop at one time but has been deleted. Typing it's name in the TM Spotlight field and clicking the Back Button (per the TM tutorial) doesn't work. Has anyone found a specific file on Time Machins that is no longer on the Mac?

    First of all, I don't work for Apple and neither do most people who post here. This is primarily a user community.
    The documentation is correct, even if you didn't have any success. I prefer to use mende1's suggestion, so I don't use Spotlight in Time Machine.
    I understand you are frustrated, as I would be if it didn't work. Computer frustration isn’t one of my favorite pastimes.
    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.
