Help...Where Do I Put My Mail Backup File?

I backed up my entire MAIL folder, as the HELP file instructed off my old MacPro using 10.4.11
Today I got my new Leopard equipped Mac Pro, and am trying to figure out where I put this MAIL folder that has all my old info and mail etc in it, on the new Mac so it sees it.
Thanks for any help
Tom

the location is homefolder/library. you should have a mail folder there already, drag and drop your folder there to replace that folder - or if you do not have one just add it. then launch mail. you may have to do some more work as mail may or may not recognize everything immediately - as in importing mailboxes manually.
also, if you did not make a copy and kept the file com.apple.mail.plist which has all your mail preferences including your email account settings and which resides in homefolder/library/preferences, then you will have to add your email accounts manually in mail... and in that case you may need to import your mailboxes manually. let me know and we can troubleshoot some more once you have added that mail folder as per above.
hope this helps

  • Where can I find my iphone backup files in windows 7?

    My computer died and all I have left is the hard drive.  Fortunately it is in good working order and is readable.  I successfully transfered all of my apps and music, but cannot find my pairing information.  Consequently, I cannot sync my devices.  Where are my iphone and ipad backup files located?

    Hello Thom,
    Good to hear that you are still able to recover information from your old hard drive.  I found an article that provides the locations of the iOS backup files:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    You can find the full article here:
    iTunes: About iOS backups

    I hope this helps get you back on track!
    Best,

    where can I find the Iphone backup files?

    The following claims the ability to extract Notes from a backup made using iTunes. I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works. Once extracted the Notes would be readable on your computer but you would still need to get them back to the new phone. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

  • Where Do You Put The Un-Ziped Files For...

    The manual is unclear.
    Where Do You Put The Un-Ziped Files for Contact Sheet X in CS4.

    CSX v1.4.2 README
    INSTALLATION:
    If there are previous versions of CSX, be sure to remove them at
    this time. Failure to do so may result in 'Copy' errors during installation.
    Unzip the CSX zip file into a temporary directory. It's location is
    unimportant EXCEPT DO NOT unzip it anywhere your Photoshop application tree.
    Run the InstallCSX script in the top-level directory. You can do this by:
    1) double clicking it
    2) dragging it onto a PS application
    3) running it from inside PS via File->Scripts->Browse
    If your OS is Vista, you will probably need to start Photoshop using
    'Run as administrator' because the installation script needs to install
    CSX into Photoshop folders that are normally protected.
    If you have more than one installation of Photoshop on your computer, you'll
    need to run the installation script for each copy of Photoshop.
    When the installation is complete, you can removed the contents that you
    unzipped before.
    MANUAL INSTALLATION:
    You don't need to do this if you ran the InstallCSX script.
    If there are previous versions of this script, be sure to remove them at
    this time.
    Unzip the distrubution file in your Photoshop Presets/Scripts directory and
    restart Photoshop. "CSX-1_4_2.jsx" should appear in your File->Scripts menu
    in CS2.
    With CS3 and CS4, CSX should appear under File->Automate menu as
    'Contact Sheet X v1.4.2...'.

  • Where can I find an iPad backup file in Time Machine?

    I want to restore my iPad from a backup. I know how to do this, and have already done it before.
    However, this time I would like to find a backup that is stored in Time Machine. So, two questions:
    1) can I even do this?
    2) if I can, then do you know where iTunes keeps the backup files for iPad's in OS X Lion? I would assume that I should be able to locate the backup file, copy it to my current day Mac and then restore the iPad using that file, no?
    In previous OS versions the backups used to be in: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    However I have searched my whole machine and can't find a single folder that is called MobileSync. It is not hidden, nor in ~Library, nor in the USER\XXX\Library, nor anywhere.
    Thank you,

    That path is still correct - at least it is on my system - but unless you had Library brought out into a place where it could be found, in the Sidebar for instance, I don't know how you'd get into it in Time Machine. Try this, though: access the user's Library folder via the Go To Folder command, then drag the Library folder into the sidebar. Then run Time Machine and see if the Library folder persists in the TM interface. If it does, you should then be able to navigate into Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ and find and restore the backup folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where do I find my iPhone backup file on my PC's hard drive?

    I am trying to use a week-old back up of my PC from a portable hard drive, to restore an older backup file of my iPhone (which is done through iTunes). I want to restore the notes of my iPhone4 that I lost after upgrading to iOS 5. Unfortunately, my last available iPhone backup is the one I did after upgrading, and it does not contain these notes anymore. Does anyone know in which folder of the PC's hard drive would these iPhone backup files be located?
    Thanks.

    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • HELP!!!! I NEED BACKUP FILES FOR A MOVIE THAT THIS KID DELETED!!!

    I'm in a high school class that is called E@ST. (Environmental and Spatial Technology) This kid got on the IMac and deleted this movie of a kid he hates. It was in IMovie. Is there any way I can find backup files or a ghost of it to restore? It was a class project.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    This is a little complicated any you'll need the IT staff to be onside to achieve it.
    Boot from an External Hard Drive - this reduces use of the internal drive. Any use of the Internal Hard Drive degrades the chance of recovering the iMovie project.
    Obtain and install Data Rescue II Demo - this free Demo version will at least tell you if recovery is possible.
    Use Data Rescue II (full version) to recover erased files to the external drive - again this minimizes use of the Internal Hard Drive.
    Copy the data back to the Internal only when you are confident you have recovered the missing files.
    Ideally your IT Staff have automatic back-up procedures in place and so should be able to restore the data to your accounts if you tell them the situation.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Need help restoring iPhone 4s to an older backup file instead of most recent backup

    My year old iPhone 4 was stolen a few months ago, bought the new 4s in November, but due to a broken laptop screen i could not restore the new phone to my backup on itunes. Finally had the laptop fixed and I accidentally backed up the 4s, which only had maybe 1/8th of the numbers and contacts i had in my previous phone. I'm in dire straights without the rest of these contacts.. How do i restore to an older backup copy of my old phones data?
    Im running windows 7 and i found access to a file folder that looks like an overall backup file with several different backup files from different dates within: 
    C:\Users\<my_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup 
    There are multiple files inside that backup folder but only two are relevant to my issue and they read as follows:
    C:\Users\<my_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\0d7dbdee01749f0c89aa0fb2512304dc33afbee8 (most recent; backed up 1/6/2012)
    C:\Users\<my_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\1ed0d70a016d0db33221c560087e559908677a60 (backup file i want to restore to; backed up 7/7/2011)
    How do i restore my phone to the backup file from this past july, and not the one from today?

    Your getting into dev stuff there. stop. Right click on your iPhone name in iTunes on the left hand pane, select restore from back up and select an older back up.

  • Where does iTunes 11 on Mac OS X store backup files?

    I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 11. Where does iTunes 11 store the backup files for iPhone, iPad, etc? I have looked for a directory ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ -- the MobileSync directory does not exsist and I am looking at all hidden files as well.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Paul

    Make sure you are pointing to the right folder wich is in the home directory:
    i.e: "$HOME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
    Where "$HOME" stands for "/Users/YourUserName"
    There is another "Library" folder in the "Macintosh HD" disk
    and this one is a non-hidden folder when the one in "/Users/YourUserName" is indeed hidden. This is probably where the confusion comes from (happened to me...)

    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:

  • IPhone automatic backup file location while upgrading to iOS 5

    I need to know where is located the iPhone automatic backup file created by iTunes while upgrading iPhone to iOS 5 via  iTunes 10.5.2.11 / Windows XP.  Itunes creates automatically a backup of iPhone before upgrading and will restore this backup after upgrade is completed.  I need to know where to find this backup file.
    I just upgraded iPhone to iOS 5 via iTunes on Windows XP.  I forgot to make my own iPhone backup before upgrading.  After upgrading and restoring iPhone (the automaitc backup), iTunes started a sync with Outlook even tough I had checked in iTunes "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
    I did  not wish iTunes to sync with Outlook, and cancelled the sync.  Now I got a lot of stuff mixed up in my iPhone and I would like to restore my iPhone with the automatic backup created by iTunes before upgrading to iOS 5.  This backup doesn't show in the backups listed in iTunes / device backups.
    Thank you.

    Had same problem, but IOS 5.0.1 can't find automatic backup on my laptop, not sure if it excists?

    Apps are not backed up, app data is. Apps are already located in iTunes and thus do not need to be backed up. See this support document for information about what is backed up via iTunes.
    Are you sure about that, because when I backed up my iPad Mini w/7.0.4 and the newest iTunes, it made a 10gb Backup, which is pretty huge considering I only have a "16" Gb Slate iPad (More Like 13.5 Gb).
    When I restored it after Jailbreaking, it moved ALL of the Apps I had bought back in - A neat trick if the Apps themselves are not part of the Backup package- Because the apps had NOT been backed up into iTunes on that PC.
    iOS 6 did NOT restore my Apps, even though it did restore my folders.

    Ok, this is a mac question: With the order changed so that the ethernet comes first, why is it still showing my connection to the neighbor's wireless? Am I reading that wrong? OR am I connected to both at the same time? If so, why would it connect twice to the internet?
    Probably because you neighbor has no security on his network. Does his network show a lock like
    If it does he's got security turned on, if there is no lock showing he hasn't turned it on.
