How can I recover all my MAIL emails lost after upgrading to TIGER?

Hello,
I just bought Mac OSX Tiger today and after upgrading from the previous Mac OSX and after launching Mail, I discovered that all my INBOX emails were LOST!!!
I still have the Draft emails, the Sent emails and Trash but no trace of my 1,425 ancient and precious INBOX emails!
Please help me recover them. I tried lots of ways to get them back but cannot find them. I'd like to also understand what happened.
Thank you!

HI Greta, Did you Clean Install Tiger, or Upgrade from a previous OS? as if the latter, you might find them in the ARchived files.
I upgraded to Tiger in December and it caused problems with mail but I didnt lose the messages. So I am thinking you did a clean install.
Post back with more info please

Can´t recover all my mails from Time Machine

Hi!
When I upgraded to Yosemite I did a backup with Time Machine before. After the upgrade I had some issues with my mail accounts. I already figured it out but trying different things I erased a pop account. When I added again, I lost most of my mails from that account. I talked to the server´s owners and they told me that the account is pop so the server doesn´t have a backup of my mails.
I have a backup with Time Machine, but it does´t let me recover mails from before the day I erased and added the account again, so when I recover mails I only recover a 10% of them.
Does anyone know how can I recover all my mails? I assume that they must be on the backup, right?
Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try restoring the library as a whole, keeping both copies. Then open the restored version with iPhoto. That will have all your albums, keywords, titles, slideshows, etc. that existed at the time of the TM backup.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

You can't. You highlight each one, then hit delete. Once in your trash, you'll have the delete all button.

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

How can I delete all my mail ( 3.5 ) on my computer ( original G4 ) but leave it all on the .Mac servers?

backup the device and restore it as new.
If you already have or don't need a backup:
Erase your device
Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 for the exact steps.
Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know...

How can I transfer all my mail and mail boxes to another computer using the same Mac OS 10.7.5?

I have 2 computers with the same OS 10.7.5. How can I transfer all my Mail & Mail boxes from one to the other?

Hello Gene,
It sounds like you would like to transfer your mail and mailboxes from one computer to another. I recommend exporting the mailboxes from one Mac and then importing them to the destination Mac. You can find steps in the following articles:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can i recover all my data from my HDD?

My main External Hdd while writing to it got an error saying Cyclic Redundancy I tried using Chkdsk but it states that the data had turned RAW. Upon
restarting my pc the disk drive H was no longer visible and the Hdd space is now unallocated space.
I want to recover all of the data if possible but most of the software i found was only one file type recovery software, I know that resigning the Volume
to H will format the drive but as i dont want that i m lost . Can MiniTool Power Data Recovery help me ?

Hi,
As you said, in order to recovery deleted files or files on a corrupted disk, we will have to use a third party application.
At this situation you may have to confirm with application provider to contact a data recovery company to see if files could be recovery. Generally a format will not affect finding the files back but as files on that disk is important, it is not recommended.
Also if available it is good to ghost that disk and try steps on that ghost copy to product the original one. But if it is a hardware issue you may not able to get data back.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

How can I recover all my old bookmarks?

Hello, I would like to recover all my bookmarks from Firefox if that's possible. The most important ones are from June-August 2013. If there is a way I can recover them how could I do recover them?

Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done. You can see if you have any backups, [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]], but that was quite some time ago so you most likely don't have any.

How can I grab all e-mails from messages in Mail?

I have many e-mails that contain e-mails not only in From, To, Copy fields, but also inside the messages. How can I get a list of all such e-mails, maybe in a separate file?

To be more clear: I have a list of e-mails in my Mail OS X program (many thousands). There are fields From, To, Copy and there is text inside that sometimes contains e-mail addresses just as signature for example. What I need is to grab all e-mail addresses from these fields and from text inside my e-mail messages, maybe in separate txt or other file. Is it possible to do it automatically? Maybe with AppleScript program? Would appreciate for help!
