After "restore," how do I get the messages "downloaded from the server?"

I restored my entire mail folder, after I accidentally deleted it. It has restored the message headings, but every message (when I click on the heading) gives me a message that says "The message from "name of person" has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." I have no idea what this means, as I am connected to the internet all the time. Can someone help? This is an important file for me.

My Mail program is a .Mac account, so it is an IMAP, I believe.
O.k, this is what happened: In Mail 2.1.3, I tried to rename a file, and it didn't like that and did some funny things, so I deleted what I thought was a duplicate file by the same name. Then everything was gone. I restored it using Backup 3.1.2, but it wouldn't finish restoring to the original places, as it said that the "archive was busy...etc." I then went online to this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1158 and followed the directions for an incremental "restore."The backup was now in a folder on my desktop. The article did not tell me what to do with these restored items after I had them on the desktop so I tried to drag and drop one of the smaller folders into Mail on the Hard Drive, but that didn't work to put them in the mail program on my desktop. I then followed a similar story line (from you, actually) on April 3 in which you gave directions to "Nanbirder." I followed those directions, and then the message headings were imported by Mail, but not the messages, and here we are with this mess.
I hope you can help me with this; it's a nightmare!!

How do you get your personal downloads from the itunes to a older ipod touch

I am trying to download all the apps and music that I have on my iphone 4s and ipod touch (4th generation). I did sign up for the icloud but not able to get it to work with the older ipod touch. I am very new to the itunes website and products.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am not seeing this problem currently with that URL. Firefox refreshes the site list from Google quite frequently. You can check for new files in the following folder and if they are not getting refreshed, I suppose you could try deleting them.
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profilename''\safebrowsing
Note that this is under the Local branch (location of cache) and not the Roaming branch (location of preferences, extensions, etc.)

After soak test update, I get error messages repeatedly. The majority are "unfortunately, messaging has stopped", but you can replace messaging with "android os", or any other process, as it happens with more than just messaging. I have had numerous people call and ask why I didn't reply to their texts...and I look, but have not received any new texts. YES, I have restarted phone. I have cleared data as well as cache on all apps. I have downloaded the vzw messaging app, which seems silly, since it happens with several different processes and apps, but all to no avail. I am missing texts from my employer, from my family. This did happen, but rarely, before this "soak test". It is now Kitkat version 19.6.3.obake_verizon.en.US. THIS is when I started having problems...like 50 times a day kind of problems! I have seen hundreds of posts all over the internet over the past 3 days. Does no one know how to fix this??? Shouldn't there be a way to revert phone to a pre-update state? and no, hard reset did NOT work!!!! I have been with verizon for well over 15 years, but I have not upgraded my lines and will not in July either. This is ridiculous. It's not like my games aren't working, it is my messaging and "android os"...my lifeline at work!

kristinaf333,
Oh no, I am sorry to hear your messages are not working since the software update. I greatlly appreciate doing all that troubleshooting to try and get the messaging application back in business. I know how much I rely on my messages so I can understand the urgency to get this resolved. Have you had a resolution ticket opened since you started experiencing issues with your messages? Does this happen with all contacts or just some? Please provide additional information to ensure we get to the bottom of this for you.

I use the "Bootcamp" on my Mac to work between Mac and Windows. How do I get my iTunes music from the Mac side of my hard drive to the Windows side?

I use my "Bootcamp" harddrive to work on both the Mac side and Windows7 side of my computer. How do I get my Itunes Library from the Mac side to the Windows side of my Mac Book Pro?

Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:

After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

iDevices are not backup devices.
Use the backup of the computer to put everything back.

If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

How do I get rid of BTFON from the service provider as it takes over everything??

No idea what BTFON is or what "service provider" you mean, or what you mean by saying that it "takes over everything". Is this a wireless network that you wish to stop connecting to? If so, open System Preferences, click Network, then select AirPort, then click the Advanced button, then select the AirPort tab. In the list that appears, select BTFON and click the '-' button.
If that's not what you're talking about, you'll need to be more specific.
