HT201316 i have deleted my mail how do i recover it i dont use time machine

help pls

If you do not keep a backup, you have a major problem.  You can try looking in the Mail "Trash."  Other than that, you are out of luck.  You now see why keeping a current backup of your harddrive is immensely important.
Hope this helps

  • How do I recover my files after using time machine restore?

    Hello guys! I have been using Time Machine to back up my Macintosh HD into an external disk in August this year. Considering the limited storage of my external disk, I have excluded all of my photos and musics to be backed up. Today I got some problems of my system and started using time machine to restore my computer to the state of August. After restoring, I found all of my photos and musics and other important files which have been excluded to be backed up by time machine are missing. What a disaster. Is there any way to recover all the missing files? Or is it possible to undo today's time machine recovery? Many thanks in advance!

    many thanks for your reply. But for the current matter, do you have any other great ideas for me to take back all of my missing files. I will definitely buy a lager storage disk to back up all the files. But how could I solve the current issue? I have already tried the software you mentioned in the lien, it seems no help. Thank you anyway!

  • I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)

    The memory on my MAC is full. It holds 4GB of RAM of which 79GB are photos. I would like to back up my photos to an external drive but just do not know how. I do not wish to use time machine. How do I back up my photo library, then delete them from my MAC to free up that 79GB? Thank you.

    Hi
    Just to clarify a couple of points in your post.
    RAM (memory) is different from hard drive space. You have 4GB of RAM, but that has no bearing on the amount of drive space you have, of which we know that 79GB are photos.
    If those photos are in iPhoto, you should be able to move the entire iPhoto Library, from the Pictures folder, to your external hard drive. You can just drag and drop. Do not have iPhoto open while you're doing this. Once it's done, you can double-click on the moved iPhoto Library file to associate it with iPhoto, so that the app remembers where the library is for next time.
    One more thing. When you move a file to a different location, and then delete the original, you don't have a backup. You still only have one copy. So if that external drive dies, you will lose all your photos. Time Machine is a very good way to prevent this from happening. You should dedicate a different drive for Time Machine backups.

  • I have a new macbook pro and want to transfer my Mail autofill from my old mac. Never used Time Machine or Migration Assistant -- looks complicated. Any easy way to do this?

    Thanks -- I would like to try this. I do not know how to reach hard drive from old mac to new. Can you help me with this?
    There are two ways - you can boot your old Mac in Target Mode (reboot your Mac, and as soon as you hear the startup chime hold down the T key on the keyboard until you see the yellow/orange Firewire logo on screen).  You can then use a FireWire cable to connect your new mac to your old one.  The old Mac hard drive will appear on your new Mac as if it is an external hard drive.
    Details on Target Disk Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
    If you don't have a firewire cable but you do have a home network (i.e. both computers can access the Internet at the same time), you can share the hard drive on your old Mac and then connect to it on your new Mac.
    Good article on sharing your hard drive:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
    Finally, if the above doesn't thrill you, you can hook an external drive to your old Mac, copy the mail folder over to it, then connect the external drive to your new Mac and copy it over.  It's two steps, but if you don't have a firewire cable and aren't comfortable with sharing over a network it will work just as well - you just have to wait for the mail folder to copy twice instead of once.
    If you get stuck post back!

  • How do I keep comp on while using Time Machine, iTunes etc..?

    Hello
    I want to know how to put the settings on my computer not to shut off. I have gone to the Energy Saver icon and made the changes so that it never shuts off and after about 15 minutes it will still turn off.
    I want this setting for when im backing up my comp using Time Machine and also when I listen to music. I dont want to have to be next to the computer and have to hit a button or move the mouse so that it wont turn off.
    Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
    p.s. -- i have a black macbook from 2007 if that matters.

    As you can see I have the settings to NEVER and after 15-`6 minutes it goes to the sign in page anyway

    It's not real clear what you want to do.
    Do you mean you don't want to back up your personal data at all, just the operating system?  If so, why?  Usually it's the personal data -- documents, photos, videos, etc., that are most important to folks, so should be backed-up.
    Or do you mean, you have some sensitive data that you don't want anyone to be able to recover if they get your backup disk?  If so, Time Machine can encrypt the backups, so anyone without a backup can't recover anything.
    Or something else?

  • I have deleted BP_EEW Component - How can I recover it to standard?

    Hello everyone,
    When I have deleted a Z Enhancement Set of BP_HEAD this action has deleted the application BSP wich contains the enhancement Object. It has deleted the BP_EEW Component. ¬_¬
    How can I recover or regenerate it?
    Please, help me.
    Thanks for all

    Hi Jorge,
    Try this for recovery of code: Deleted program need to be reverted back
    If you get your bsp application back by this then go to sm34 open BSPWDVC_CMP_EXT
    Create your enhancement set here.Go to Enhancement set definition and maintain the component name assigned bsp application name and the corresponding Z Bsp application which you just recovered.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I recover my Bookmarks from a Time Machine Back Up

    I just upgraded from a 2 year old MacBook running Snow Leopard to a new MacBook Pro running Lion. Because of the problems Apple has between these 2 operating systems, I can not use the automated Migration Assistant to migrate over any of my old files, user info, or settings to the new machine. I'm having to manually pull over document files and applications from my Time Machine back up disk.
    I can't seem to find my Bookmarks from the old computer in my back up files. On the Time Machine drive, I've looked in User, Application Support, Library, amongst many others. Not seeing it anywhere. They don't seem to be in Time Machine at all, or rather they're only there if I do the automated migration for all of my programs and settings. Which of course is not possible, because it leads to massive disk permission errors and a corrupted hard drive on the new machine. One thing I'm realizing i should have done was make a manual back up of my bookmarks in Firefox before I wiped my old machine. If I didn't do this, am I screwed?
    If anyone has ideas I would love some help, I really really don't want to lose years of bookmarks.
    Oh, and whatever you do, don't buy a Mac with OSX Lion unless you want to waste LOTS of time fixing Apple's mistakes. This whole process has been a disaster so far. There are all kinds of issues with the transition to Lion, I'm 40+ hrs in now. Apple now has their very own version of Vista.

    The following has instructions: OS X Mavericks: Restore items backed up with Time Machine
    The following is old but specific to iPhoto and may help: iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later)

  • How do I backup books in iBooks using Time Machine

    An iBook purchased text book no longer displays diagrams so I have tried to restore a previous backup but when I open my iBook library and then enter Time Machine it opens a Finder window for the Desktop, if I then navigate to iBooks app I just get info on the app no access to content.

  • How do i restore my MacBook Pro using Time Machine?

    I have a Hard Drive with a Time Machine backup on but i have also other files such as videos, photos, programs etc. I'm just wondering if the other files get deleted if I restore my MacBook Pro? Thx

    Using the Time Machine backup to restore to your Mac will not delete other files you have on the Time Machine backup disk.
    However, in general, it is not a good idea to store live files on a Time Machine backup disk.  The Time Machine disk can fail just like any other disk.  If it does it is no big deal for Time Machine.  You purchase another drive and start another backup.  However if that drive fails, the other files on it will be lost.  So if you offload files onto an extenral drive, they should be on a non-backup drive.  Then go into the Time Machine preferences and make sure that offload drive is not excluded from the list of volumes it will backup.
