HT4796 Why can't I see my email and calendar records after transfer is complete?

I used Migaration Assistant to transfer my MS Outlook email and calendar etc from a windows XP Pro laptop and expected to see the transferred content when I opened Mail and Calendar, but they are empty. Is there some action I need to take in my mac to make the content appear?

Try looking at System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if Migration Assistant created a new user. If so, what you want is probably in that account.
If you can log into that account, make the user library visible by holding down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Move the Mail Folder and Calendar folder to the Public Folder. Look for other files you want and put them in the Public Folder. Log into your normal account, retrieve the two folders from the Public Folder, and then put them in the account's user Library. Test.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder?

    Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder? The latter is not available either under Favourites or Menu>Go>...
    After a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro, I chose not to upgrade from iCloud to iCloud Drive because it would break syncing with my iPhone 4. My docs are still visible in iCloud, according to System Preferences. I can access them on my iPad but I not from my MacBook Pro. Calendars and Contacts sync ok.
    I tried logging out of iCloud, rebooting and logging back in, but that did not remedy the problem.
    What's gone wrong?

    Just so I'm clear. You have enabled iCloud Drive in your iCloud preferences:
    Now, in your Finder's sidebar you still do not see the iCloud Drive showing. In the Finder's preferences is it checked:

  • Why can't I see my documents and backups?

    I have iCloud working on my Iphone, MacBook Air and my Iphone for pushing appts, notes, etc.  But I really don't 'get' iCloud when it comes to backups and documents.  in the system preferences it says I have mail, document(s) - from IAWriter, and backups taking up space but when I browse to iCloud all I can see is the appt calendar, find my iphone (and mac), contacts,,.. iworks (which I don't own and it wants me to buy).  I don't see my 'storage'.  So how the heck would I restore from the Cloud or anythig usefull?
    I just wonder where oh where are my backups and documents and mail???  And what's the point of having a me.com email address when I have perfectly good IMAP mail at gmail??
    Can sonmeone clue me in.  And note I'm Canadian so Itunes 'match' and uploading music, etc. is not available.
    Thanks,
    Brenda

    Hi,
    I don't have/use IWorks.  I have IAWriter that added iCloud support.  So I can save a file to the Cloud but.. when I checked it appears only to support IWorks?  I did actually mention documents..... but nevermind.  I'm just seeing what the best use for me of iCloud is.. and perhaps for documents that are not iWorks (pdf, doc, etc.) I need another solution.

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.

    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • TS3992 Why can't i see my email in icloud?

    I backed my iphone up - had plenty of storage and I can see my contacts - but not my emails or notes.  

    You can only see your iCloud email account on icloud.com if that's where you are looking.  icloud.com will not host non-iCloud email accounts.
    If your notes aren't syncing with iCloud, make sure you have turned Notes on in Setttings>iCloud.  Then open the Notes app and tap Accounts.  Check the accounts listed to see which one(s) your notes belong to.  iCloud will only sync notes that belong to the iCloud account.  If your notes belong to another account, you will have to open each one, then copy & paste the text into new notes created in the iCloud account in order to sync them with iCloud.

  • Why can I only see my emails in HTML format

    Emails only show title line. If printed the body of text is printed as well and if viewed in HTML format all the email can be viewed on screen

    This problem can be caused by an Adblock Plus filter.

  • Why can I only see iCloud email from the last 4 months? Where have all my old emails gone?

    I was trying to track down an old email from November last year and having used the search tool with no luck resorted to scrolling through the weeks. I then discovered to my horror that I didn't have any emails beyond 1/12/13 !!
    I have subsequently checked online using iCloud and the results are the same. Where have all my emails gone? I have been a MobileMe member since it started and pay for increased storage - which I am no where near utilising - how can I retrieve the 'missing' old emails? I have many Apple devices and it appears they are mssing on them all....

    You might want to go to icloud.com and open your calendar, then click the gear icon and choose Preferences, then make sure you aren't hiding old events on the Advanced tab.

  • Why can't I see my accounts and all my folders after moving profile to new Windows ?

    Following clean install of Windows 7 over XP, I've copied across my old profile (as per instructions on this Forum, and others). Profile contains about 46 items, copy and pasted into newly created .default file. (Previous to which all new content was deleted) profile.ini appears to be pointing to correct file/location. When I launch Thunderbird, it is completely blank, no accounts etc., and no folders. The only thing showing correctly is my address book (thank goodness!) so presumably it is accessing the profile file OK ?
    Why are none of the accounts showing, or any of the (many) folders storing my old emails ?
    Can anyone point me in the right direction on this re: troubleshooting my profile file ?

    I've just about got there now, moving folders around (there appear to be three files per item) till they're more or less in the place where I want them in the Folder pane:
    (Tried to paste a screen print here, but no joy)
    Everything seemed to want to go into Local Folders, but I now have my four email accounts going into a single Inbox Folder, but in their own sub-folder.
    Strangely, the label for each is in a separate location. Still puzzled by the logic of the filepath within the profile file. Plenty of articles of where the Profile Folder should be, but nothing on the actual layout/construction of the Profile to get folders appearing where you want them ?
    Anyway, it's going to be next week before I can look anymore at this, so thank you for taking the time to respond.
    My research before all suggested that it was a simple matter of copying the profile to an external drive, reloading Windows and Thunderbird, and then copying profile back in. Its obviously far more complicated than that. I don't know what version I was on before, but the new one is 24.6.0

  • Why can't I see my Ipad on my Mac after connecting via USB?

    I just bought the cable... I can see my Ipad in itunes, but can't see it in the finder to copy footage off of it?

    I am trying to get a bunch of video footag4 someone shot off their Ipad onto my Mac for editing.  I can see the Ipad in itunes, but cannot see the footage files themselves.  I followed a Mac forum to open the Ipad in itunes, then click on File sharing.  The only option is imovie- but here are no actual files to share inside tht app...
    Yet- I can see the footage in imovie on the Ipad- I just don't really know how to use imovie- I am a Final Cut editor- and can't see the files themselves to move them!

  • Why can't I see the Final Cut Studio icon after installation?

    All the installation process went fine and it even displayed "Installation Successful!" And now I can't find it anywhere

    Go to www.digitalrebellion.com and get the fcp uninstaller and then reinstall. 
    Are you sure you've chosen the right options for the install if you're doing a custom install.
    Here's a user tip regarding installtions.  Making disk images of the installation dvd's can save an enormous amount of time.

    Make sure your black phone is using the same or higher version of iOS as your white one, and that it is signed into the same iCloud account.

  • How can i retrieve my old email and contacts lists after software update?

    After updating the sfotware on my 3gs phone, i have lost all my contacts, calendar appointments, e-mails, etc. Is there any way to retrieve them?

    Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
    Has the device been used as designed?  If so, simply re-sync them.
    Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?
