Getting old messagesl off Gmail POP

Hi
Sorry if this has been discussed before but I didn't really find quite what I was after.
Due to a backup glitch I have had to reinstall an earlier back up on my computer. I have several months worth of messages that I can read on line on my gmail account but there is a gap in my emails stored on my laptop.
Is there anyway to get those back into mail?

First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

  • Trying to get old data off a g4 tower

    Hi- I am trying to get old data off a g4 tower using macbook and firewire but I am not succeeding. My old monitor doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I also have a Gdrive if that might work.

    Here's another method.
    Buy one of these hard drive adapters.

    Remove the hard drive from the G4. Using the above adapter, connect the drive to your MacBook. Copy the files you want.

  • Getting old site off the 'net without appropriate files. (to start over with same domain name)

    As a complete novice, I'm not even sure how to start this question...but, I have tried everything and I think I have "lost" my website in terms of bringing in back into DW and changing/updating it.  My backup files on my computer have disappeared and the appropriate files through my cPanel to bring it back to in order make changes aren't there.  The website still functions, but it is outdated for my business needs.
    So, at this point, my question is this; how can I gain control over the domain and start over from scratch.  I don't want what is out there anymore, but without control through the above mentioned devices, is it even possible to build a new website and get the old one off the 'net as it is and still keep the original www.name.com?
    I'm clueless at this point.  Thanks.

    Thanks for trying to help.
    You will need to sort out the FTP issues because when you have edited your site, you will need to upload it and so FTP details will be required.
    Your first port-of-call to sort this out is to contact your host who can reset the password for you so that you can start all over again.  The alternative, is to give your password/login details to Murray (PRIVATELY) so that he can try from his machine.  When this is done, you can always change the password for your own security.

  • How do I get old pictures off of my Ipod nano 4th generation? I don't care to save them, I just want them off.

    I've had the Ipod for a while (by 4th generation, I figured you could tell), and I just want to get the pictures off of it so I have more space for music. I can't figure out how to do so, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello Bekahl,
    It sounds like you have photos on your iPod nano that you would like to remove. These pictures would have had to have been synced over through iTunes from a folder on your computer. This article outlines how to sync photos to your device, but you can also use it to disable photo syncing and remove them as well:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Getting old messages off server(gmail)

    So, long story short, I have used Mail on 2 accounts in the last few months. The issue now is that when I loaded up Mail on the account i'm using now it did not retrieve all the mail that was between the last time I opened (july 15) and today. Is there a way to force that??
    Much thanks
    aaron

    grrr

  • How do i get old contacts off of backup assistant plus

    my phone was reset so how do i get my old contacts from backup assistant plus.  i did not have the cloud set up.

    Are you sure the contacts are in the Backup Assistant Plus? It is my understanding that the Backup Assistant has been incorporated into the VZW Cloud.
    Could the contacts be saved in your Gmail account instead?

  • HT4906 How do I get old photos off iPad, in the photo photo app? I dont want the pictures and they are saved on a disc, trying to just clean up old things..

    I dont like iPhoto, and just want the old photos taken off of my iPad, that must of transferred from my computer. I will tap on the photos, and edit, but then the delete button is fuzzed out so I cant delete them??

    Photos that were transferred from your computer via a sync are removed by syncing again.
    Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in the left column of iTunes and select Photos in the right column. Scroll down and deselect the albums you no longer want on your iPad. Then click on Apply. The albums will be removed but will remain on your computer.

    Alos by reset the phone the new user will get a fresh phone they can customize them self.

  • Cannot get old podcast off to repost new one

    I have been trying for at least a month to get my podcast in the iTunes store. I have to admit, the first times I tried, it was easy. But those were podcasts done on Garageband and submitted through the new Quicktime without the Variable Bit Rates and chapters were turned into movies. They could not be downloaded to iPods. Two tries were removed http://www.radasky.com/Site/TheFoxPodcast/rss.xml and http://www.radasky.com/Site/MP3__Podcast/rss.xml but the next one, despite all my requests and trouble reported in downlooads by friends, is still in the store http://www.radasky.com/Site/Listento_TheFox/rss.xml . It has the incorrect chapters and cannot be subscribed to. A message "There was a problem downloading "The Fox Podcast" comes up. I have tried to resubmit and get a confirmation that my site is being looked at but nothing from there. What can I do now?

    There are two ways to go:
    a)
    A comment from Ricks forum post (including Ricks screeshot):
    Perhaps try clearing the cache?
    Click Edit > Preferences...
    From the Global categfory, click the Clear Cache button.
    Or B)
    A comment from Vishs forum post:
    Also, can you try deleting the Preferences and check? You can find the  preferences at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5

  • After I updated my iPhone with IOS 6.1 my old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. On the Apple site the Manage my Apple ID says my old Apple ID could not be found. How do I get this to stop?

    I just updated my iPhone with the newest update IOS 6.1. My old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. All the passwords I type in do not work. I no longer have access to this email which is my old Apple ID. After installing the newest software update my old Apple ID came up to finish configuring. Since I no longer have access to this Apple ID and email account and after trying some passwords I skipped the step. It then said FaceTime, iCloud (which I do not use), and more may not work. I clicked that it was OK since I could not remember the password to my old Apple ID. I then went to my settings to be sure my newer email was my Apple ID by typing in my current Apple ID and password.  Also, I went to Manage my Apple ID online and my old Apple ID could not be found. Is it OK I skipped that step in the IOS 6.1 configuration? How do I get my old Apple ID to stop popping up?

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro and I had a new one installed and they were unable to get my pictures off of it. Is there anyone who could help? I'm going to lose all my memories of my kids! I got my old hard drive

    My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro so i had a new one installed and they couldn't get my pictures off. I dont want to lose all my memories! They gave me back my old hard drive. Is there anyone that could help me?

    I think how you understand the value of having backups. All you can do is:
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    You will need an external enclosure for the old drive so you can connect it to the computer in order to try the recovery software before you buy it. But if they don't work then you will need to send the drive to a recovery service such as Drive Savers.
