  • Accidentally deleted MobileMe mailbox in Mail.app 4 and now need to recover

    Here's what's up. Yesterday I accidentally deleted a mailbox on my MobileMe account. The one that has 30000+ messages in it form the past 3 years...
    Realizing how stupid that was I immediately made a copy on a safe place of the local cache on my computer. So now I have a copy of that entire mailbox in .imapmbox format. Today I have tried to find a solution to figure out how to get that email back into Mail.app and I fail to find a way.
    I have tried to make a bogus IMAP account and copy the mailbox to it but nothing happens, I have tried to import the email using the import tool in Mail.app but it can't recognize the filetype, I have tried to just copy the entire mailbox into the Mailboxes directory in my Library and then it actually appeared in the "On My Mac"-list as a mailbox but with no messages in it.
    I have use emlxtombox converter and that gave me some result but the attachments were omitted.
    What to do?

    Have you tried to import the mail box? You are trying to copy a back file into the mail app, it will not work as you found out. You should look into a way to backup your files.
    try the following:
    import mail box
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2442
    to restore

  • Does anyone knows a way to work with various Pages documents at the same time, for example with a system of tabs to switch directly from one document to the other?

    Hello everyone,
    Working with numerous Apple Pages documents at the same time, I am looking for an efficient solution to switch faster from one document to the other. Integrating all them in a single framework, for exemple by switching from one to the other with a system of tabs would be of great help. Does anyone knows if such a possibility exists?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jean-Baptiste

    Thanks. It works and is very efficient. Not as much as a real system of tabs, but is allows to switch very fast between different documents. Only regret I would have is that it doesn't work with a document which is on full page mode. But that's already very helpful!
    You're very welcome but Peggy really gave you the answer already. 
    With regard to the full screen apps, I don't think Apple have yet worked out how to make them elegantly coexist with other apps.  The closest you can get is the four finger swipe gestures you may use on a trackpad if you have one (Mission Control and App Exposé).
    In fact nowadays I use the App Exposé (four finger swipe down gesture) more often than I use Command-Accent to move between documents in the same app (when not in full screen).  It also as the advantage of showing you thumbnails of recently opened documents below the ones already open within the app.  If you haven't tried it, I suggest you give it a whirl.
    I can't remember now but I think the four finger gestures are not enabled by default and you must switch them on in System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures. 

  • When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

    When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

    Hi mjmonck-
    Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to get a new iMac pages document into the iCloud

    I have an 27 inch imac , an ipad 2 , and an itouch .   I purchased pages for the ipad2 and upgraded to lion on my imac. I can make a pages document on my ipad2 and it goes to the icloud and I can see it on my itouch.  Then I can make changes on the itouch and go to the ipad2 and see the changes.  So the icloud is working.  When I make a pages document on the imac I can not find a way to send it to the icloud so I can see it on my ipad2.  Can someone help me.
    thanks

    The iCloud email account is tied to the iCloud account.  If you want a different (new) email account you'll have to create a new iCloud account for your phone.  You can, however, create an email alias to use associated with your current account (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622).  It will have a different email address, but will receive email to the same inbox as the current address so this may not meet your needs.

  • I am trying to open a pages document however it tells me I need the new version to do so. I have installed the new version however it keeps saying I need the new version. I have noticed that I still have the old blue ink pot icon not the new orange pen.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • How to save a pages document on the ipad2

    How do I save a pages document on the ipad2 or how do I print a pages document.  I have a n epson835 on a wireless network.   I can scan or print a web page  from the ipad, but I cannot print from pages. The instruction seems to require saving the pages document, but all I can do is share the document via several methods.
    Thank you
    John McDonald

    Tap on the Spanner icon, tap on Share and Print, Tap on Print.
    You will also need to have an Air-Print enabled printer and both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same network.  If your printer isn`t Air-Print enabled then there is a work-a-round but you will have to use google to obtain the files and instructions, do a search on google for Air-Print for PC or Air-Print for Mac.
    To save a document in Pages for iPad just tap on Documents to take you back to your list of documents and the one you are currently working on will automatically save, you can then tap on the documents name to change it.

  • I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back

    I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back pronto! I just updated my iPad without a computer and it had the file there. I need to know how to get back the file very quickly.
    thx in advance

    Thne unfortunately, your document is gone. You can restore lost or deleted documents from backups if you have backups - and as long as the backup contains the document - but if you did not copy the file to your computer - or backup the iPad, the document is gone.
    You really should start backup up your iPad. You can sign up for a free 5GB iCloud account right on the iPad and then you can use iCloud for backing up. You can do it right on the iPad.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help, I accidentally put a desktop icon the trash (my photo booth!). I don't  know how to undo it!

    Help me. I accidentally created a desktop icon from Iphoto and when I wanted to get it off the desktop, I put it in the trash. Now, it appears that my entire photo collection is in the trash bin and I don't want it to be there! How do I tell it to take it back out of the trash bin???

    Please explain in more detail, how you created, made or moved that "icon" to your desktop...?
    If you not sure, open the trash, control click on the "icon" in the trash, select Get Info and report back.
    If it looks like this > with nothing after it, then you need to drag it out of the trash and put it back into your user Pictures Folder.
    If it is a copy or alies and you can currently open iPhoto and see all your photos, then there should not be any problem just emptying the trash and making it go away.
