Most of my old mail just disappeared.  How do I get it back?

Mail from before January 28 has just disappeared from my mailbox.  Other mailboxes were not affected.   How do I get the mail back?

These instructions apply only if you've been backing up with Time Machine.
Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. You'll see a series of Mail windows cascading back in time, each representing a snapshot of the Mail database.
Scroll back to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox named "com.apple.Mail.backup" in the On My Mac group. From there you can move them wherever you like.
Depending on how many mailboxes you have, you may have to scroll the mailbox list up or down to see the new entry. According to some reports, you might have to relaunch Mail, or perhaps wait a while for the database to be reindexed, before it shows up. I can't confirm those reports.

    I resaved a draft email in yahoo mail on my ipod touch and it just disappeared - how do I get it back? And why did this happen?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • I tried to move my saved messages to a folder in MyDocs, but instead they just disappeared; how do I get them back??!!

    The messages are/were apparently stored buried somewhere in the program files - I want them stored in MyDocs where they can easily and regularly be backed up. What I thought was the message store probably wasn't, but where is it? And where are the messages gone?

    You can not store mail in "my documents" or a collection of other standard windows folders. That is because the data is application data not files and it is considered unsafe. Microsoft in their design of Windows about 20 years ago designated that application data be stored in the folder "application data" with the advent of Vista that became appdata. So I suggest you modify your backups to include that folder, as it contains data for most programs on your system, not just Thunderbird.
    If you type %appdata% into the search box and press enter windows explorer should open and show you the physical location the environment variable appdata points to. It is by default a hidden folder and as such the content is not available to windows search.
    Now as you have not really said exactly what you did to loose your data, I have no idea where you put it. If you could be more descriptive of what you actually did, perhaps someone can figure it out.

    I synced my iPhone 4 yesterday.  Now, most of my notes are gone.  How can I get them back?

    " but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
    What does this mean?
    How did you try to import those pics?
    You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera.  They are not part of the sync process at all.
    I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
    Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
    In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

  • The "recently used programs" section on the start menu has disappeared - how do I get it back?

    On the start menu, the top few programs are those that I use frequently. There used to be a line, and underneath the line appeared the programs that I have most recently used (other than the frequently-used programs above the line). This bottom section has disappeared - how can I get it back? Running XP with Firefox 33.1.

    This is a Windows question, not a Firefox question. Try using a search like www.bing.com/search?q=restore+recently+used+programs+windows+xp for help.

  • Browser bar and the bar above it disappeared, how do I get it back

    I have Safari on my PC and the browser bar and the bar that has the files, edit, etc on it disappeared, how do I get it back? I was allowing my 2 year old daughter watch a show on netflix using google chrome but somehow she managed to get safari open and net thing I knew the browser bar is missing and when I tried to get it back, I managed to make things worse by making the bar above it disappear too. How do I get them back?

    The OP is using or trying to use OS X on a non-Apple netbook or I've misunderstood.
    What on earth makes you think that? He's posted in the Windows category of the Safari community. He has never mentioned Mac OS. He said Safari was installed on his PC in his very first post. Furthermore, the details of his replies to your advice are precisely what you should expect if he was using Safari for Windows, and trying to implement the (inapplicable and unimplementable) Safari for Mac advice in the context of his particular issue. You've got this one very badly wrong from the beginning right through to now, and in that context the implication that he was trying to get advice here on how to do something illegal was not only wrong, but insulting.

    * Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then go to "View > Toolbars > Customize" and see if you can find the missing item(s) in the toolbar palette
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window onto the toolbar
    * If you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

    in Notifications, my driving time to work has disappeared. how do i get it back?

    I think it's something you'll want to make sure is turned on in settings.
    This is found deep in settings < privact < locations services < system services < frequent locations. That needs to be turned on.
