Import selected messages from Mail backup

I recently did a Carbon Copy Clone backup, switched my hard drive and cloned back to the new drive. So far, so good. But 3 days elapsed between the clone and the switch and I'd like to recover my Mail messages from that period. I have the old drive hitched up in an enclosure, am wondering if I can selectively import messages or do I have to import the whole mailbox?
Thanks,
Phoebe

Thanks for helping David. I can see individual messages in the (archive) mailboxes and when I click on them I can see their dates. I only need three days worth. I eventually worked around this by copying the ones I wanted to the desktop and then opening them in Mail and resending them to myself to get them into the mailbox. Clumsy but effective. I guess I could have imported them all and then deleted the ones I didn't need too.

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your help

Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).

How can I import selected images from a folder instead of the whole folder in iPhoto 9.5.2?

Hi there,
I was trying to help my parents import some photos from a folder they have created with photos from their holiday. They only want to import select images from this folder into iPhoto. I said it would be easy and they can do it in 2 ways. First, they can drag and drop selected photos from their folder into iPhoto - and this works for them. However, more convieniently, they can click file>import to Library and then select the photos they want by going into the folder... Well that's how it works on my iPhoto '11 at least. When they showed me their screen via Skype (they are running iPhoto 9.5.2), when they click import to library, and try to go into the folder containing their photos, it imports the whole thing and there appears to be no way that they can enter the folder to select just a few photos from what I could see.
Does anyone know anything aout this problem?
Cheers.

What view are using in the Import dialogue. Column view might be easiest to navigate.

Importing selected photos from Digital Camera

More than a question, this is a suggestion to the Apple developers of the iPhoto software. There are two options or tools I would really appreciate to have in my iPhoto version 5.0.4
1. Ability to import selected photos from my digital camera or memory card reader.
2. Ability to select the albums I want to burn to a CD or DVD.
I hope you can include these basic functions to your well appreciated iPhoto software.
If any Apple Discussions Member agree with this request, please join me asking Apple for these useful tools.
Best regards,
Pablo
G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) iPhoto version 5.0.4

There may be a more "elegant" solution, but you can do it manually.
1) Go to the finder. Look for the mounted Camera (the Camera mounts just like your drive, DVD, or Disk Image). You can find this on the Desktop or in list of volumes on the left side of any window. My Camera mounts as "NO NAME".
2) Double Click the Camera "Volume". Keep Double Clicking (Opening folders) until you get to the picture images.
3) Select the ones you want to Add/Import to iPhoto.
4) Drag these on the iPhoto Icon in your Dock or in the iPhoto window, which will perform the import.
Hope this helps.

How can i extract messages from icloud backup in apple 4

how can i extract watsapp messages from icloud backup in apple 4

When you backup messages in iCloud, your SMS will be stored in Network. As i know, you cannot view the SMS. But you can try to sync to your iPhone or backup in iTunes. After that, you can extract your messages from iTunes with iPhone backup Extractor apps.

My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone. You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
How in the world would you expect to get data back?

Now I'm getting this message from Mail

Now iCloud on the web doesnt' work at all and on my Mac I get this message from Mail:The iCloud IMAP server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user
I enter my password but it does no good. What's wrong?

Dunno the reason but I too am having trouble accessing my mail today both on iCloud on the web and on my mail app. My iPhone is having the same problem syncing my mail. Could be a server problem.

Trouble importing Messages from Mail

Greetings,
I need to import my old messages from my old G3 machine to my Intel iMac. Both are running 10.4 and mail 2.x
I go to file>import mailboxes and then select Import from another copy of Mail.
I then go to Library>Mail and then select a folder that has mailboxes in it.
It doesn't matter if I choose one that has the extension .mbox, or just the name of the account; it just crashes Mail.
The only time I've been moderately successful is trying to import my sub mailboxes, which are in a parent folder with the extension .mbox. All folders in this parent folder are .mbox. This differs from the others, which have a variety of folder types. The mailboxes in this homogenous folder show up in the import list, but then none of the messages import, just the mailboxes themselves. Never mind that I don't really need these messages.
What I'd really like to do is to drop the old messages into my new inbox so I have a complete set going all the way back. How do I do this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Oral History.
Mail crashes (i.e. quits unexpectedly) even if you select the wrong folder? Don’t you even get a “No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found” error message in those cases?
There could be more than one thing amiss here. Does Mail otherwise work fine on the Intel iMac? In particular, can you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail by means of Mailbox > New Mailbox or does Mail complain with some error message when you try to do that?
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described in the following article:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you may just copy it from this post and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You may then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail search in iOS 7 doesn't allow me to select messages from results for Exchange account

I perform an Exchange mailbox search and after getting the results I tap on Edit to select some of the messages from the listed search results but I can't select any and the options for Move, Delete and Mark are greyed out.
If I do the search on the Gmail mailbox instead, the selection circle is available, I can select individual messages and the options for moving, etc. are all available.

OK - unless a miracle happens in the next 5-10 minutes - apple's current stance on this is that we (corporate users) are going to have to work on this problem on our side of it!
I asked - so you expect hundreds, thousands of server admins (internal employee supported and hosted) to change their settings for you - rather than you changing the way the search app works? Response was YES!!!!
They recognize that it is happening as a result of the 'expanded' search functionality, that WE asked for. Uh-hum it was working before and not now - don't think we asked for that.
They say that they have no intention of fixing what's broken in the app. They consider it to not be broken - but rather improved. WOW!
They are CLEARLY catering to the 'hey where you gonna be tonight' crowd - rather than the 'We need to meet up at 3:00pm to go over these final plans so that I can authorize the next phase of building.' and the 'Go ahead and plan for the 2 mergers we discussed to move forward - I am canceling the third, though' crowd.
Yes - I am venting.....
I am supposedly being transferred to the 'enterprise support team' now. Tech tells me I never mentioned that it was an 'enterprise' issue. I'm like - really - exchange account - and I mentioned the corporate impact of the problem from the beginning. Anyway - we'll see where I get.
Just FYI - their search tool is supposedly returning these results because ALL of our servers are searching and seeing a server setting that allows it to search historical info ON the server. He says it happened this way in io6 - but it did not (thus we searched fine before and not now). I have two users (iPhone 5) who upgraded and have the problem - and one user (iPhone 5) who has not upgraded and does not have the problem.
OK - just got off the phone with apple. I was just transferred to the enterprise team - who said that rackspace could pay $700 and then apple would look into the problem. No, I am not joking. I recommend that you all continue to post your problems with the mail search as often as possible - and hopefully apple will take some responsibility and fix the issue on the app side - rather than asking us to all supposedly fix it on the server side.
I am contacting my exchange server admin to see if there is in fact a setting that will 'fix' the ghosting of the emails. If there is in fact a server side work around - I will post back. If apple gets smart and decides that fixing broken corporate features matters to them - I will also post back.
Any suggestions from the IT world reading this?

Can you import old text messages from a backup?

Prior to updating to iOS 8, I did a full backup to iCloud and iTunes. I decided to start from scratch though. I think the only thing I'm a little upset to lose is all my text messages. Is there any way to import them from an old backup?
iPhone 5
MacBook Pro

Restoring from a backup is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to restore just text messages that I'm aware of.
