Mail was put in trash and trash was emptied

My mother in law, has a i mac with leopard I think 10. 5. 8 She somehow trashed and emptied the trash with Mail in the trash. So now I have to get her mail back or at least.. get mail back on her i mac.. I was wondering if I just updated to snow leopard this would get mail back or do I have to go the hard way? thanks for your time and help.

If your mother in law still has her Mac OS X 10.5.x install disc, you do not need to use Pacifist to install the Mail application. It is available as a custom install using the Optional Installs.mpkg.
Even though this article cites Mac OS X 10.4, the same information holds true for Leopard.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
The .mpkg installer may be inside of a folder named Optional Installs.
If you are able to use the Optional Installs.mpkg, I suggest downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to make sure that the custom install of Mail is up to date.

I put my ibook author file in the trash and then accidentally emptied my trash. Is there a way to recover the file? Does iBooks Author have a backup?

I put my ibook author file in the trash and then accidentally emptied my trash. Is there a way to recover the file? Does iBooks Author have a backup?

if you use time machine, you should be able to get it back that way. Although IBA saves changes on an ongoing basis, it doesn't create a back up or supplemental copy elsewhere on your drive.

Thank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers

HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with? My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

How many different computers can I sync my iPod with? My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?

I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working perfectly. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?
Where does the imovie.library reside? where do the events and projects reside?

Hi winkydb,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not see the events or clips you were working with previously, first see if you can switch back to the library you were using with this method:
Show or hide the Libraries list
You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
The default location for iMovie libraries is the Movies folder in your home folder.
You can find this information here:

I don't know which folder to use clearing out old messages, spam, junk and other detrious I might want to recover in the future and which folder for highly sensitive or personal in formation I want to keep confidential.

I got a email from "find my iphone" saying my iphone was erased...and it was! how did that happen?

I got an emai from "find my iphone" saying my phone was erased.. and it was! Why did this happen?

One - you may have said to disable/erase the iPhone while communicating with the iCloud Find My iPhone site.
Two - the finder/thief may have reset the iPhone to factory settings, simple enough to do, and yielded the iPhone untrackable.

I was working on Setting of my iphone4S, and there was an option ''Zoom''. I made it enable and there after whole screen has been 10 times larger. Now I can Not do anything, even can't open my phone anymore because I can't see the sliding option due to extra large screen. Please help me.

Did you try to tap using three fingers?
Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 123.
Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

I have 74k photo's in my iPhoto trash and crashes when emptying. I have tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist but still won't empty.

Hi! I have 74k photo's in my iPhoto trash and it crashes when trying to empty. Clearly it's too much for the system to handle so after researching I downloaded 'Trashit!' which didn't help even if I selected one photo and dragged it to the trashit icon, not a single photo will delete from the iPhoto trash.
I've tried creating a new album but the photo's won't drag. I have tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist and done several timely rebuilds but I still can't find a way to empty the trash. I hope there's something really simple I'm missing here, any help appreciated

iiPhoto is known to lock up if you try to delete a large number of photos at a time. Here are a couple of ways to get out of the predicament you're in:
1 - go into iPhoto's General preference pane and uncheck the Show item counts checkbox:
and then try emptying the iPhoto Trash bin again. It's iffy however.
2 - If that fails and you don't use the Rating stars you can do the following: select all of the photos in the trash and Control-click to bringup the contextual menu. There will be the 5 stars for the ratings. Select either 5 or 1 to apply that rating to the photos.
Next create a smart album with the criteria:
selecting the number of start you applied to those in the Trash bin.
Move the photos from the Trash bin to the Library and the Smart Album will immediately be populated with those photos.
You can now select about 100 photos or so at a time and use the Command+Option+Delete key combination to move them back to the Trash bin and empty it. Repeat with groups of about 100 or so photos till they are all deleted. Then delete the Trash bin in the Dock to completely remove them from your hard drive.

Trying to create itues account for children's school ipad and says does not meet min age. Tried to go back and fix bday as was put in incorrectly and still says "does not meet min age". How do I fix this?

I'm trying to create a new apple account for my daughter's school ipad. She put in her bday incorrectly and said "does not meet age requirements". We went back and put in her correct date (over 13) and still says "does not meet age requirement". How do I fix this??

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

Randomly mail says pop email username and password was incorrect

I have no changes to my gmail account or my "mail" account settings in my iPhone general settings and yet it says they are wrong. They definitely aren't wrong....what do I do? It was so out of no where

If it is random that means there is another email client also accessing the server; perhaps your computer is set to automatically fetch mail. When a POP3 server has an open session and receives another open request it closes the session and sends an "incorrect password" message to both clients. This is a holdover from the time connections were unreliable and lost connections while a session was open were common. So the message is misleading; all it means is that another session was not closed properly.

Mail was put in trash and trash was emptied
