Had to refresh my computer and reinstall TB how do I get previous emails

Refresh resets the computer and deletes apps so I had to reinstall TB. Now I need to get the emails that I had on the previous version of TB. I have gotten as far as learning about the profiles. But it gets too complex for me to actually get the old profiles into the new TB. Please help. thx

You can create a new profile and copy the old one over it. That would assume you actually have a backup of your profile. See

How to restore all your bookmarks after refreshing your computer and reinstalling mozilla?

my computer started bugging and then I was obliged to restart it but the computer proposed me to refresh because my computer does not start well and I did it and i hadto reinstall mozilla. now my problem is that i lost all my bookmarks and i really want to have them back because they are important. i tried all i can to restore them but without success

If for instance you reformatted the hard dive and reinstalled the Windows 8 Operating System then unless you had a backup disk image or specific backups elsewhere of Firefox data then you will have lost your bookmarks.
It depends rather on what you did when you refreshed the computer and reinstalled Firefox.
Firefox itself tries to keep bookmark backups, and WIndows tried to keep some previous versions of files.
Please try to give more detailed information about what you did.
'''Immediately backingup your Firefox profile''' may help to preserve some of those bookmarks and backups so you should do that. Then post back and explain what you did when refreshing the computer. Try use the same jargon as was in the instructions you followed, for instance did you reformat the hard disk drive?
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
For future reference it may be useful to make and keep occasional manual backups of Firefox bookmarks
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]'''_manual-backup'''
Do you use Firefox Sync ?

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do I do?

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do i do?!

The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID. First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes. Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed. If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID. Then, connect the iPad. Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice. Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated. Post back and we'll go from there.

I downloaded itunes on a new computer and signed in, how can i get my existing music, etc onto my library without deleting it on my ipod, if I synch it will delete all my stuff and i will have nothing on my ipod

I downloaded itunes on a new computer and signed in, how can i get the existing music, etc from my ipod to my library without losing it? HELP!

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The ipod is not a backup/storage device.

HT4859 My emails no longer appear on my computer but only on my iPad and iPhone. How do I get my emails to also appear on my computer?

Hello I have a problem - I live in France so this might be something to do with my service provider (orange). But I can't work out how to continue to get my emails on my mac mail application on my computer when I have icloud switched on on my iphone and ipad. I receive my emails on both iphone and ipad but not on my computer. It's as if my computer has become a slave to my ipad.
I can disable the icloud service for mail on my iphone but then I can't send emails from my second account from my iphone (I have both a .mac account and another account). When icloud is switched on and when I'm using the g3 on my iphone, when I receive an email on my orange account all I have to do is change the address from which I am sending an email in the "from" line from my iphone and I can reply from my phone.
However if I switch off icloud on my iphone I can indeed reply from my .mac address but not from my other address - ie the drop down menu doesn't appear which means I have to copy out the original email if I wan to reply in detail.
But if I keep icloud switched on I no longer get my emails on my computer - only on the server. I think there ought to be something I can switch over on icloud but I don't know what.
Any ideas?

I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately.
I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud.
You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
Hope this helps.

HT201272 my new album didnt have a time to grt dowmloaded to my computer and got erasied how do i get it back

i downloaded an album on my phone and and didnt get it to my my computer and now its off my phone any way to grt it back with out paying for it again

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in and if they music is still in your country's store. If you can redownload music then see if that album shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

I got a new computer this year at school, I am a teacher, and now don't know how to get my web site into the iWeb09 app. I have the folder that I saved/published to from the old computer. I need to go in and make changes but can't get there from here.

iWeb can't open or import previously published pages or files.
You need the domain.sites2 file from that User Application Support folder.

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

HT3302 is there a backup of contacts on computer and if so how do i get it if phone is no good

how does one go about getting information oncontacts from iphone if
the phone does not function anymore?

Try looking for a 3rd party tool on google, Apple wont supply a way to do it because apple doesnt want to go in and ruin your back up, if you use icloud you can go to icloud.com, sign in with your apple id and see if your contacts are there.

I am trying to reinstall PSE 9 after a computer reformat and I keep getting a message that it is the incorrect serial number for the trial. I bought the program in February of 2011, and I think I've only had it on one computer and that's this one. Windows

I had to have my computer reformatted in July, and am just now trying to install PSE9. When I tried to enter the serial number I got a dialog box that stated that this serial number was not valid for the trial. I bought this. According to my profile, I bought in in February 2011. I have only had it on this computer and I have never installed Premier Elements. Can you help please? Thank you, Kayt

The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

Had to do hard wipe and reinstall of os and all apps, ipod/itunes question

had to do hard wipe and reinstall of os and all apps on my computer. itunes included. what will happen if i plug my nano in since the new itunes is empty? will it wipe my nano?

Hello stephaniern,
Since you reformatted your computer and re-installed the OS, your iPod will not recognize the new library because it will still be associated with the older one. When you plug in your iPod nano, iTunes will tell you the iPod is synced with another library, and will ask you if you would like to "Erase and Sync." Otherwise, yes, everything on your iPod will be wiped off.
If you did not have your iTunes library backed up, there are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Lastly, as stated you will need to re-authorize your computer to play any iTunes purchases. Since it's the same computer you originally authorized, I would check out this Apple support document to take care of this issue so you do not have two authorizations on the same machine.
