Just lost 4 years of emails on iPhone and now MBAir! how do Iget them back?

Just looked at my iphone and got 3 new emails this afternoon. Scrolled down to find next emails are from Aug 2008!!
opened up MacBook Air Mail only to see last 4 years emails go in a flash - yes, 4 yrs of emails GONE...!!!
Anyone any ideas..?  Is this just a temporary server issue or has this wonderful icloud system just wiped all my emails off forever?
T

Was just checking on activity over in another area and there are posts reporting problems with the iCloud mail server(s) today...that could be what you are seeing.  Maybe give it a day or two to get resolved and see if they don't do a backup from other servers.
I will let you know if I hear anything else, also.

    Hello wedge60,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning device recognition issues:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Try another USB cable.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages.  I recently signed into iCloud for the first time.

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

    You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
    Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
    Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea.  iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer.  When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs.  The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
    If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company)  to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast).

  • I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

    I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

    Your images are truly no longer present on the hard drive(s)? Have you had your operating system do a search for them?
    If such a search fails to find them, here's what I would do, in order
    Look in the trash can/recycle bin
    Restore from backups
    If you don't have backups ... well, why not? ... find a program on the internet called an "undelete utility" (free versons are available) and then download and install it and run it. If you are going to do this, then do not perform any other tasks on your computer except find the program, download it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), install it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), and run it. In the future, you will need to commit to making regular backups of your photos and of your Lightroom catalog file, no excuses.
    If that doesn't work, but the thumbnails still appear in Lightroom, you can probably recover the thumbnails from Lightroom via a plug-in, but these would be low-resolution versions of your photos, if you really need instructions on this step, write back

  • I lost all my notes in my iphone and ipad..how can I recover them?

    How can I recover my notes in my iphone??

    If you included the iPhone backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore the backup from that point of time and your contact info will be there again. But all settings and other data will also be set back to that point. The location of the iPhone backup folder is described in this article:

  • I have just updated latest software on Iphone and now it will not let me back in with my passcode it has disabled it?

    I have just updated software on Iphone 5, thinking it would be a simple operation. I enter my passcode as requested, of course it won't let me in. It has now disabled it for 7 minutes. I have tried numerous attempts with the same lock code I have been using all year. I looked up on Google and it said something about disabling the Icloud icon. Could some one please help ?

  • I just downloaded ios 6.1 on my iphone and now i cannot connect to any wifi networks on my mac

  • HT1391 I deleted my ringtone from iTunes because I couldn't sync it to my iphone or play it in itunes through the iphone, and now I can't get it back.  I have the purchase receipt...but how do I get it back????? If I can't, can I get refund?

    This is ONE of the MANY reasons, I have held off on getting and iPhone.  Because the ONLY option in getting the music onto it, is by using itunes, instead of just being able to drag and drop.  This is annoying as F***.
    I paid for and downloaded a ringtone from the iTunes store.  It was working fine. Then I hoooked up my iphone to my bf's laptop, competely forgetting that it had already been synced to MINE, which is broken and toasted.  For some reason, it deleted everything off my phone, I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how the **** to get music back onto my iphone using itunes.  It's NOT a user friendly program, and being a computer savvy as I am.....I HATE USING IT. But unfortunately, I don't have a choice. So, I was able to get the two ringtones that I created with my free ringtone maker app BACK into my phone.  But go figure, the one that I actually paid for, I can't get back on.  It was in my itunes, and on my iphone...but had the exclmation mark beside it.  I have already gone to the support page and followed the instructions for retrieving it.  I have manually deleted it from my computer SINCE this discovery, by deleting it from itunes.  So....to make sure yall are understanding this...I tried tracking it down by searching my computer....and I couldn't find it, although it was still listened on BOTH my itunes on my laptop AND in my iphone.  I trued to manually delete it from the iphone....wouldn't work. So i manually deleted it from itunes.
    My question is this....
    HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO I GET IT BACK!!!!????
    It's only $1.29 canadian, but man, this program is ******* me off to no end.
    It's stupid that Apple has completely restricted us.  -sighs gritting her teeth- I just want my ring tone back.  That's it.  I can't even figure out how to redownload it....or if I can even do that.
    Please someone help me.  I'm soooo frustrated.
    Thanks
    CER

    Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.

    Hey I'm a novice on computers but i've just done a full system restore on my laptop and put it back to factory spec, obviously i backed up all the data on an external hard-drive but when i have re-installed itunes and gone to import all my old music files from my previous itunes library as mpeg4 files it keeps telling me i don't have permission??!! *** someone please explain or tell me how to get music on to my new itunes without having to re-import every cd i own which is alot!!!

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.
