I have lost all my old emails

Hi I have lost all my old emails, I have looked every where I can think of but can't find them, I have not deleted them, hope some one can help.

If you are sure that you did not delete them, try this.
Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Lost all my old email !!!

Once I upgraded to Mountain Lion I lost all my old email , How

I had the same thing.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts
Then click the center box that says "enable this account."

I have lost all my @me emails from past 2 years.

Today I added my husband as a secondary Icloud account as up until today we have both been using the one Icloud account ( or @me account but same thing ) as it has been such a pain with 1 Imac between us, 2 Ipads and 2 Iphones.   I researched this site and learned that I needed to set up a separate user account for him on my IMac. I did that. Then I created a new email for him. I think I did a good job of sorting him out and now he has all his Notes, Emails and Addresses that are separate from mine. I didn't realize how much i screwed up until I logged onto my account and realized that I inadvertently lost ALL of my incoming @me emails. Considering this is my main email account I am in shock.
Everything is gone. Zero ...except for the Sent Mails i still have.
I really don't know what I did. I was very careful during the process.   I am so frustrated with Apple because I used to really like the mobile me account and was able to share photos and documents no problem. Since the Icloud I have still not really figured out . It' s like Apple went from a very simple and easy system to a mess. I was happy to pay my $99 a year for . Now it is free and a royal pain.
I especially don't understand why all the Icloud emails stored on my Mailbox on my IMac are also deleted. I thought those were saved on my hard drive.
My Imac is version 10.7.5
My Iphone is verison 6.1.3
My Ipad is version 5.1.1
My husband's iphone is version 6.0.1
My husband's ipad is version is 7.0.4
I Thankyou for any advice whatsover !!!

Thank Goodness for Time Machine. I was able to restore from a recent back up.
However as a follow up I now have a glitch in that Icloud email will only restore from oldest to newest. My Icloud.com account is fine. All my email are in chronological order from newest to oldest.
With the help of support from this site I was able to confirm that the problem is not resolved by disabling mail and then enabling again or even from deleting the Icloud Email Account and then reloading. It is exactly the same.
The only way I can get yesterday's email on my devices is to load 5000 emails starting back in 2010.
I think I caused a glitch when I was restoring from Time Machine. It was late at night and it was taking a long time so I went to bed thinking it would just continue on. Well i should have taken my computer out of Sleep Mode because my Imac must have powered down somehow causing the glitch.
Although you would think that I would also have a corrupted email account on Icloud.com
who knows....... the reason why i tend to live with problems rather than correct them because i hate it when stuff like this happens when you do................

My email seems to have lost all the saved messages

Email stated it was updating earlier. Now it seems to have lost all my old messages.

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

I seem to have lost all my email messages - help!

I have had problems sending and receiving emails and have resorted to restarting my mac everytime I want to check on new emails. I have just restarted again and appear to have lost all my my emails with the exception of the apple news folder. Can anyone help??? please???

If you search these forums for Mac Mail problem you will find many many posts similar to yours and many many others about not being able to send or receive emails when it worked fine a few hours ago or yesterday.
It is because the built in Mac Mail program is one of the Worst Email clients ever written and WILL, not can, Fail at any time.
So if you want to not have any of these type problems in the future stop using Mac Mail and switch to some other, Any Other, Email client/program.
I suggest Thunderbird as I have been using it on both Mac Lion and Mt Lion and on my Windows PC for over a year without any problems on either platform or OS version.

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me.

Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks

HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera. There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device. If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.

I have a problem with my Macbook air which keeps reloading all my old emails to my inbox. Even thought i delete them, which takes a long time, over 10,000...they keep coming back? How do I delete old messages? Thank you

check your account settings, possibly under advanced settings.
look for an option to check "remove messages from server" or similar.
