How to restore mail after M/c has been to hospital!!

Because of the myriad of problems I had with my iMAC, it had to go to be repaired and had a new HDD and Logic Board fitted. (No wonder the thing was so unstable from day 1!)
However, before it went away I backed the whole thing up with the Time Machine to a separate HDD. The machine is now back with me and I cannot see how to get the mail details, including messages and settings out of the backup, equally so I can't find all the contacts in the Contacts Book. I cannot see how to get in to the bowels of the backup to get these details. Can any one help?
Cheers

• I cannot see how to get in to the bowels of the backup to get these details.
You do have to be able to navigate through your back ups.
1. Open the back up drive and look at it in column view. Navigation is easiest in column view
Select a date, and keep navigating through the contents till you find what you want. Mailboxes are particularly obscure, so make sure you have the correct folder.
1. emails. Go to Mail / File / Import Mailboxes. Select Apple Mail and navigate through the back up till you find the mailbox you want to import. Select it and click on Choose.
2. Contacts - same procedure starting at Contacts / File / Import.
3. You can also import Bookmarks - File / Import Bookmarks ...
same for iPhoto, etc. etc.
It is a painful process, but it does work.

  • Restore iPhoto after hard drive has been wiped?

    My Macbook Pro Hard Drive recently failed and the Apple store wiped it clean. I had a number of important photos on iPhoto and I am wondering if there is any way to retrieve these? Being that they were added recently to my computer via my iPhone (they were deleted from the iPhone after they were imported), they are not backed up to any hard drive. I have iCloud on both the computer and the iPhone, but I am unable to retrieve images from that on the phone or the mac. For some reason photo stream was not working when I synced my phone to iCloud last.
    Is there any way to retrieve photos from iPhoto or the iPhone (after they have been deleted?).
    This is critical because I have recently left a rental and the pictures were taken before I moved in and after I left and now the land lord is attempting to accuse me of ruining the place.
    Thanks.

    There is a extreme possibility you can recover deleted files from the hard drive provided:
    1: The Apple folks did a quick format, which they likely did as a Zero erase would take hours.
    2: Where the old files were located on the drive hasn't been overwritten yet with new data.
    3: Your competant in spending $100 for Data Rescue and install OS X on a external boot drive (blank)
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
    The Apple folks shouldn't hae erased your drive without allowing you the opportunity to perform data recovery efforts, since they don't perform this function you should have consulted here first or got more info and not allow them ot erase your drive.
    A local PC/Mac computer fix-it could have recovered the data first, then you could have taken it to Apple if you did't have a backup yet.

  • How to re-trigger BA00 after sales order has been rescheduled

    Dear Gurus,
    Could you please kindly advise how I could re-trigger BA00 after sales order has been rescheduled?
    The scenario is following:
    When the sales order was completed, the order confirmation output has been sent to the customer. But later, when the ATP confirmed quantity was changed or order was rescheduled, the committed delivery date has been changed. It caused confusion, because in the order confirmation letter we sent to customer, there is a different date.
    I'd like to also trigger BA00 to resend the order confirmation, but I checked the output routine, it only checks if the order is completed or not. Shall I　ask ABAPer to add additional logic in the routine or there is other easier way to re-trigger BA00?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Have you allowed multiple issue for BA00 output type? In that case, you can manually trigger it from VA02. If you are trying to have it sent automatically, then add the logic into the routine.

  • Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

    Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to check remotely that a PC has been restarted after Labview Runtime 2011 has been installed on it?

    Hello,
    I am deploying a Labview 2011 application on 150 XP-machines in various plants worldwide. Currently all machines still have an old Labview 8.21 runtime (+old DAQmx). I have sent a procedure to my colleagues in the plants so that they install the new runtime (+ new DAQmx). On my side I have built a code to check from my Pc if a certain registry key is present on the 150 PCs which tells me that the new installer ran or not.
    The key that I found is:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\1C5E801AE54C4AE43A59FC169F95CA28]
    "ProductName"="NI-DAQmx MAX Configuration Support 9.3.5"
    "PackageCode"="61EEAEC207A28A842B3341ED6809453D"
    "Language"=dword:00000009
    "Version"=dword:0923c001
    "Assignment"=dword:00000001
    "AdvertiseFlags"=dword:00000184
    "InstanceType"=dword:00000000
    "AuthorizedLUAApp"=dword:00000000
    "Clients"=hex(7):3a,00,00,00,00,00
    This works well but it does not tell me that the PC has restarted after the installer has been run. If I do not restart the PC and try to execute my Labview 2011 executable I get a long error message (NIDAQmx not registered,...).
    As it seems difficult to get the properties of a key to know when it was installed I was rather leaning towards checking if a certain DLL (?) has been registered or not. But it is just a vague idea and I do not know how to put that in place.
    I am attaching the current code that I have and that works well but cannot make the difference between Labview 2011 runtime installed and PC restarted or not.
    Thanks for the help

    You might look for a file that would be created as part of installation to determine the install date/time (ini or other support file created as part of runtime install)
    Combine that with a query of the station's uptime and you could calculate if the station has been up longer than the time since the install. Not perfect, but should be possible...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

  • How do you tell if your iphone has been hacked?

    How do you tell if you iphone has been hacked? I have an iphone 3GS and I've gotten text messages from 2 different people that i don't know, telling me they can't see the pics that I've sent them & wanting to know what the pics are of. One of the numbers had been part of a group message that I recieved from a friend. I just thought she ended up responding back to me by mistake thinking she was sending a message to the originater of the group message.Then a couple weeks later i got another text from a person I have never contacted wanting to know who I was & why I was sending multimedia messages that she couldn't open. Just trying to figure out what is going on. If I postd this on the wrong group, please let me know which one I need to post this on. Thanks.

    Well that's good to know. As far as I know the phone has not been jailbroken, unless it was done before I bought it. I purchased it used from an individual who said it was restored to factory defaults.
    It just concerns me that people are texting me telling me that I'm sending them pics that they can't open. I've checked my bill online & nothing shows up that shouldn't be there.

    When I click on "Where did the error occur" -> "Adapter Engine", I do not have a choice of errors from the dropdown. I only see one option "*".

    I see.
    I've also managed to overcome this problem by selecting "Subscription Authorization" in the Alert Category Definition page, and entering SAP_XI_MONITOR as one of the roles.
    After that, I am able to see a the alert category defined. By default it's already subscribed, because I'm using the same user - PISUPER.
    I saw in another post that the option "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this Rule" should be left unchecked. I tried that, but I still do not see any alerts raised in ALRTDISP.
    What did I miss?
    Please help.
    Thanks.
