How do i get email messages back into mail

hi,
i recently deleted some email accounts that i no longer use but forgot to save the email messages first. i managed to locate the emails on a backup that i made. i now have lots of .emix files, each of which if i double click them open up so i can read the email, but i cannot find a way of getting them all back into Mail so i can search etc. ideally i want to create a new folder in Mail called Old Mail and get all my .emix files into that folder, but whenever I try and drag and drop them into the folder Mail won't do anything. I don't want to just restore the backup as I have since received emails in Mail from my other accounts, and don't want to lose anything. Any ideas what I need to do?

Hi
Use the "Import Mailboxes" function in Mail > File menu and follow the instructions
Mail Help - enter "Import" has some info as well

Getting .emix files back into Mail

A disastrous experiment with Entourage 2008 ended up with my entire Exchange box being wiped from my server, losing two years of messages. However, as I'd previously used this account in Mail, I've managed to salvage the folders, which are full of .emix messages (from Library/Mail).
However, I can't work out any way of getting these messages back into Mail. The messages are intact as I can open them individually, and Spotlight includes them in search results, but I really need to get them back into Mail.
Any ideas?

Since this is an Exchange account, I guess you’re talking about .imapmbox mailboxes, right?
If Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x maintains a local copy of server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
You cannot import .imapmbox mailboxes directly into Mail because when you do File > Import Mailboxes and choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, Mail looks for .mbox folders only, but if Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was set to All messages and their attachments throughout the lifetime of the mailboxes (or since before the last rebuild), you can easily overcome that limitation by just changing the suffix to .mbox.
After having changed the suffix to .mbox, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions. Note that Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mailboxes to be imported (i.e. the folder where the .mbox folders to be imported reside), not the .mbox folders themselves.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto. Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts? My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.

How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts? My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.
I think i want to tell icloud to sync with Outlook and make icloud the controlling account. NOT outlook to iclout. there are 6325 contacts in icloud. only 12 in outlook. about 10 days ago i had same amount in OL and icloud. i had to restore my computer PC. My iphone is correct. My PC/ Outlook i not. thanks for any help.

Hello Otienogo,
Try the below steps on your iPhone,
Go to settings>iCloud and Login with your Apple Id.
Contacts should be on, click on it to turn it off and choose keep (even if it shows you no contacts)
When the process is done go ahead and turn on contacts again, choose merge. All your contacts should show up if you had a previous backup to icloud.
Hope this helps you.

How can I get my materials back into EBP 5.5?

I have executed an initial replication of a single material into a clean EBP 5.5 (SRM 5.0) , i.e. no product master has ever existed
After changing MATERIAL filters in R3AC1 and afterwards replicating using R3AS I managed to get more materials into the EBP 5.5 but found out that my filter settings had to be changed. So i deleted all product master (COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL) succesfully changed my filter and ran R3AS but no materials was replicated... I have checked SMQ1 and SMQ2 which were empty. I have even tried to go back to the starting point of replicating just the one material and still no luck (even synchronized filter with R/3). I have gone through a number of notes. I have gone into SMWP and there are some red lights but e.g. 'Adapter Status Information' and 'System Settings' looks fine.
How can I get my materials back into EBP 5.5? Is it a problem of changing filters and doing intial replications continuosly?
While writing the above I have just now created a new material in ECC 6.0 and set up the filter to replicate just this new material and it was succesfully replicated to EBP 5.5 with product master! I guess something has to be cleaned up before I can get my materials back into EBP 5.5??? How???

I managed to replicate all my materials with the broad range filter definition after working my way through all the errors in SMW01. However, I still don't understand why I couldn't make an initial replication of a single material (previously deleted)... anyway it is working now
Thanks for all the help!

How can I get a parameter back into a servlet invoked from an IMG tag ?

I'm using a servlet to create several graphical plots per JSP i.e. per HTML page. Each graph is supposed to be different, according to a parameter which I want to pass back from my JSP. I'm getting several plots but they're all the same!
I've tried setting an attribute in the session object before each IMG SRC= , but all I get is each plot the same! In fact, my debugging efforts show that the servlet is only called once despite 3 calls, each with a different session parameter value. I'm not sure the session parameter values are getting used properly.
I just can't find a way of getting a parameter back into my servlet which is invoked from the IMG tag (i.e. SRC= "servlet name").
Can anyone tell me the best way to pass a parameter back into a servlet which is invoked from an IMG tag? Can the request object be used? I can't, at the moment, see how it could be used?
I'll certainly be very grateful if anyone can help with this - could even be useful for others as well!

You said that, "by moving a copy of Mobile Docs back to the Library, from which I had moved it, my documents reapperared in Cloud." That says that you actually moved it. Obviously, I can't tell exactly what you did, but it sounds like you may have thought you were just putting it in the sidebar, but you actually put it somewhere else. The sidebar is not a location to put things, just a way to create a quick shortcut to access a file or folder, so you can't put things "back" from there.

I had to change my sim card due to call drop outs and now i have lost important voice messages. How do i get the messages back?

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

ITunes is empty, how do I get my files back into it?

This morning I was trying to clean up my Macbook, get rid of applications I'm not using, clearing caches etc. (Everything was seeming to run a bit slow - which prompted the attempt to clean up unnecessary stuff)
Something ended up happening with my iTunes library - It's like it reset it's self nothing's in it anymore. However, I'm almost certain all the music files are still on my computer. It seems like the library is still there too, I just can't really figure out how I'm supposed to get it back into iTunes. I started to add one (Library file, I think it was) back into iTunes - and it was going fine, until it said that it was running out of memory. I click "OK" I click "Cancel" the error message keeps popping up and not going away. I force quit iTunes, thinking what's already been imported will be there and I can find a way to work out the rest. Didn't work. iTunes is still empty and now about half of my available memory is gone. I have 2 previous itunes Library files (of the lib file type) and an iTunes library.xml there's also a file with all of the music. But I want to see if I can restore my videos as well. I do have everything backed up on an external hard drive, but that's kind of a pain to restore, and I think my files are still here, I'm just confused as to what to do.

The itunes folder now seems to only a fraction of the stuff that I originally had - I'm thinking from when I tried to reimport the stuff and then it said I was out of memory. (the things that were imported are in there, even though no showing up in itunes, and the things that didn't get imported aren't) I don't really get how my entire itunes library can be gone (5000 songs and about a week's worth of videos) yet I have 13MG less memory available. If I lost that much stuff shouldn't I have more?
