Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing. 36 hours is rather long. Seems like a new migration. Not what I intended.
Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter. That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user. Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
36 hours? I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here? Or a really, really slow disk? Or a sick backup? (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic. Does your existing (old) system work? If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage. (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!) In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk. Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire. And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

How do I restore selected pictures from Time Machine?

If I want to restore selected documents or music albums/tracks I open Time Machine look at the specific date and select the item and click on restore. But how do I do this with pictures? If I open Time Machine my pictures are nowhere to be found. At least I cannot locate them. If I right-click on IPhoto Library in the Finder in Time Machine nothing happens. At least not Originals as in the regular Finder (this is where pictures are stored in the regular Finder.

Hi Terence, I have the following problem:
-I have many digitalised old pictures that were given the date when they were actually scanned and given a name by the dude who did it
- so for instance my 1982 picture from Paris is titled 'album 4-picture 2000' and has the date July 2 2009, which does not make a lot of sense in a library
- so I batch changed all the digitalised pictures for date and title so now my picture has the correct title 'paris' and the correct date July 4 1982
- now, when I want to restore this particular picture from TM, as you explained me yesterday, I do get the picture but not the new title and date. It will now say again 'album 4-picture 2000' and will have the date July 2 2009
So I only have a problem with date and titles that I changed. TM restores it with the original date and title. And that does not make sense after you have put so much time in changing/correcting all these data. Thanks Adrian

How to restore locked folders from time machine?

So, I backed up my Macbook pro today but I am not able to restore my files/music etc from the time machine, they're locked and when I click on the folder it gives me this message "The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." My applications were restored with no problem but its just the music and files

Bring the Contacts window forward, then enter Time Machine and scroll back to a snapshot that includes the contacts you want to restore. Select the contacts and click the Restore button in the lower right corner of the screen.
If you don't have a Time Machine backup, but your contacts are all on iCloud and haven't been overwritten, then you can recover them by following the instructions on this page. Double-click the downloaded file to import it into Contacts. This procedure won't work if you've synced an empty Contacts database to iCloud.

How to restore itunes library from time machine

I recently needed to replace the hard drive in my mac. I have an external hard drive that has been backing up to time machine.
All documents and photos were retrieved. Itunes backed up files and plugins but I can't find any of the music, video's etc.
Where are they located and how do I re-load into my Itunes library?
Thanks!

The default location for the iTunes media folder is
Documents/iTunes/iTunes Media
in your home folder. If that folder exists, set it as the location in iTunes preferences. If it doesn't exist, search for it by name in Spotlight.

Restoring from time machine in snow leopard

I recently sold an iMac on ebay. It was an iMac 10,1 with OSX 10.8.4 I purchased the Snow leopard discs from apple and rebooted the computer using those...
The buyer recently sent me a message on ebay saying this:
"I have been trying to restore my backup via Time Machine, and the instructions tell me when the Installer disc opens to click on Utilities, then choose Restore System from Backup. But when I click on Utilities, it asks me to Restart, everytime. Do you know if I am doing something wrong?"
Can someone hepl me/him?

Instead of restoring his/her backup from the OS X disc, install Mac OS X. After installing Mac OS X, it will ask you to restore files, so follow the steps

Retrieve backed up emails from Time machine in snow leopard after downgrading from Lion?

I installed Lion, but after putting up with it for the last month with problems like: computer crashes, slowing my computer to an unbelievably dismal speed and computer freezes at least once a day, I have now reformatted my hard drive. I have reinstalled Snow Leopard and restored all my settings, folders and applications from a time machine backup.
However, I am now back in my desktop (that's another story as all of a sudden it asked me for a password, even though I've never created one to log in) and on snow leopard- BUT I have no address book contacts and as for my email- well my email accounts appear in mail, but all my emails are lost (sent, received, inbox.... nothing there).
I desperately need those emails back as I run my own business and this has just been a nightmare. I thought that after reformatting and then restoring from a time machine back up life would go back to normal but obviously not.
Can anyone please shed some light on where I would find the folder in my time machine back up to cut and paste back over for snow leopard to show my emails again?
Thanks in advance.

New HDD - how to restore iTunes library from Time Machine

Installed a new HDD in my MacBook Pro, would now like to restore my iTunes library on the computer.
Searched & saw a post about "needing to use the Time Machine interface to restore the entire library".
What is this interface they are referring to and how do I find it?
I open Time Machine in preferences and see there is an "options" button, and you can add items to the restore window ... I'm hoping there is a document somewhere that details if this is the correct place to restore an iTunes library, if so, what files/directories need to be added for restore, etc...
What's the process to restore an iTunes library from a Time Capsule backup?

Please do not double-post.

How to Restore System Preferences From Time Machine

Hi,
Is there any way to restore past system preferences using Time Machine (such as desktop photo, trackpad settings, screensaver, etc.)? I would like to revert to some of these past settings without restoring my whole system from the backup disk & DVD.
Thanks in advance!

You can do that, but you have to figure out which preferences you want, and what file(s) they're in. And there are about a zillion of them!
Most user-level preferences you set via System Preferences are in one big file:
*<home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple/systempreferences.plist*
but a few are in separate files, such as:
*<home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist*
System-level preferences, such as Time Machine's preferences, are in separate files in the top-level Library folder:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
or one of several files in the sub-folder:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguraton
Other preferences, such as all your Mail accounts, rules, etc., are in separate files at the user level, such as:
*<home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist*

How to restore a backup from time machine in 10.6.8

I am running 10.6.8 on my MacPro (early 2008). I have 4 internal hard drives. The main boot drive has 10.6.8 and the secondary drive with a system has Lion. I cannot completely upgrade to Lion on my main drive until all my software is compatible.
My main boot drive started acting like it's in slow motion 2 days ago. No matter what I do (DiskWarrior, Disk Utility, zap PRAM, fix permissions) nothing seems to help. Every mouse click or movement gives me the dreaded spinnin wheel and it hangs for about 5 min and then does what it's supposed to do. I have logged into a new account w/ no special 3rd party apps or utilities and it still does the same thing. Hard drive diagnostics say my hard drive is ok. I have tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo update but that hangs after a few minutes of starting. I am stymied.
I thought about restoring a Time Machine backup from 1 day before this happened, but before I attempt a full disk backup, need to ask what to do so as not lose everything.
I assume I must boot up from another disk or hard drive, correct? Can I simply select all the system folders and apps folder or do you think I should do a complete restore?
Thanks.

Could be a failing drive, could be Lion when you boot doing something
Disconnect all other drives etc., except the 10.6.8 boot drive, lets flush everything.
hold Shift upon booting, this is Safe mode and fixes things, reboot
then SMC reset, PRAM reset
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
Run all of OnyX checks, maintainance and cleaning then reboot at the end

If you have AppleJack already installed hold command S at startup of 10.6.8 and Applejack AUTO and press enter.
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
This mega cocktail will do plenty to rebuild everything and may catch your issue.
If your still having problems I would try to isolate it, if it occurs only if your connected to the Internet, or after the machine has booted Lion etc.
Narrow it down. It might be failing sectors on the drive, this has been known to cause beachballs as the hardware is trying to read from failing sectors, once it gets the information it should be transfering it to a new better sector and mapping off the bad one.
You can expidite this process when you fresh install, by erasing the entire drive (or Free space only) with Zero function in Disk Utility before laying large amounts of data on the drive. (like a OS or partition)
Good Luck
