Need help recovering old messages

I recently had to do a wipe/reinstall of a mail server, one of the users did not backup old copies of the messages in his imap account. I have recovered the old users folder from /var/spool/imap/user
How do I go about recovering the messages from that folder, and place them into his new folder?

Put the messages from the backup into the users mailbox folder and reconstruct the mailbox by issuing:
sudo -u root /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r -f user/username
(replace username with actual user name/mailbox name)

*** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Is there any way to recover old messages on iMessage?

Is there any way to recover old messages received on iMessage?

Hi,
No.
If you have several Devices such as an iPad and iPhone and Mac you may find that an older Conversation will sync several days after the iMessages were sent.
I happened to have been away from my computer over a weekend.
I iMessaged my wife from my iPhone whilst on a hotel Wifi.
These were synced when I turned on the Computer and launched Messages.
This was only a relatively short period of just over 24 hours.
I have not tested for longer.
I suspect there may be a 48 hour limit.

Replaced hard drive in compaq presario cq62, need help recovering it with out disks

Recently replaced the hard drive in my notebook due to failure of original. Need help recovering it without disks

If you are wanting to install the original copy of Windows it came with, you will need a set of recovery disks.
Otherwise, you can purchase a copy of Windows to install and download the appropriate drivers from http://goo.gl/hOm3. Just make sure the copy of Windows that is installed is at least the same family of Windows to ensure that drivers are available.
What is the exact model of the notebook and product number?

Need help deciphering error messages!!!

My iTunes library was continually acting up, so I finally decided to start fresh. I restored & updated iTunes, Quicktime, & my iPod. I followed the directions from a question I posted here. I drag and dropped the music back into the "clean" library, and everything was going great.
Now I'm getting the same error messages as before. I was adding music and this message appeared.
Error Message:
The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid music library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged).itl".
My library.xml file was missing some music, so I added it back to the library.itl file to see if it would work. It appeared fine afterward. The next day I went in to recreate my playlists, and received the following error.
Error Message:
The iTunes Library cannot be saved. An unknown error has occurred (-1450).
Questions:
1. What is error 1450?
2. Are my music files (that I drag & drop)contaminated and need to be deleted and reimported?
3. What are the causes of the 2 error messages above? I copied them to my notepad exactly as they appeared on screen?
4. When iTunes creates a library (damaged).itl file, it also creates a new music file: song 1.m4a replaces song.m4a - which version do I keep?
The only good news is that my iPod has always worked fine. It has no music on it now, and I don't want to hook it up to a contaminated library.
Need help desperately...I'm beginning to hate iTunes...just want to use my iPod.
Dell Inspiron 6000 Pentium Windows XP 1.6 GHz, 1G RAM

When iTunes creates a library (damaged).itl file, it also creates a duplicate song file.
song 1.m4a replaces song.m4a - which version can I delete without creating problems?

Recovering Old Messages

I accidentaly cleared my History and in the history i had many many important things saved, some even worth money and i absolutely need those messages back... Is their any way to recover my history???
Please help, this is super urgent.

i'm not completely sure, but it seems there is no such option to recover deleted messages using the native features of Skype. Perhaps with the use of a special software, it might be possible.

Need help retrieving old #'s...

So I ordered a new phone, and when I received and activated it, more than half of my contacts did not restore. Is there any way I can view old messages so I can possilby look through them till I find that contact/number? Do I need to have the actual account holder do this? I am only an admistrator on the account. Even with backup assistant, those numbers did not show up...

Other than this little contact hiccup, I hope you're enjoying your new phone cumboslice. Some phones have the ability to store contacts in separate accounts, like phone contacts in Backup Assistant and Google contacts in Gmail. What model phone did you have before? Do you still have your previous phone? What model did you switch to?
On My Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc the Account Owner can look up your calls for the past 12 months and message details for the past 3 months. You'll be able to see the number that called or texted and the time, but not the actual content of any messages.

Iphone 4 reset to factory settings need to recover sms messages

I had to reset my iphone to factory settings. It was backed up. I need to recover my sms messages. How do I do this?

That's the new normal for an iPhone straight from the box. It's called the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant steps an iPhone user through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with a carrier.
Just turn the phone off without going through the Setup.

Need Help Recovering Hard Drive Space on Disk Utility

I recently wanted to resize my Boot Camp hard drive partition as I did not need it to be 194 gb. In the process I screwed something up and now that space that was once my Boot Camp Partition is now "free space." My Mac Partition still says that I have 305 gb left and I am unsure how to expand this partition to get back that "grey" space. I've tried using Boot Camp Assistant, starting with Command+R after the "chime," and restoring my OSX (not completely however).
I need help in getting back this missing space. It seems that I have looked everywhere and although people seem to have a similar issue I can't figure it out.
Would restoring Mountain Lion completely by using a USB jump drive solve this problem? I have an external hard drive that uses Time Machine to back up my MacBook so a complete restore shouldn't be an issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
P.S. This is what my disk utility currently looks like...

You can try to use Boot Camp Assistant to completely remove the Windows partition but it might not work.
Simple fact is once you setup a Windows partition you can't fool with it at all, that is unless you use some add on program specifically designed to do that on a Mac computer. If you need to resize the Windows partition you first need to use BCA and remove the partition completely and then recreate it at the new size you want and reinstall Windows.
You might have to use Time Machine and backup your Mac partition then repartition the complete drive and then restore from that Time Machine backup. Then setup the Windows partition and reinstall Windows.

I need help recovering my old Satellite 2405-s201

I bought a old indestructible Satellite 2405-s201 laptop. Last month it got to where it kept stopping a critical error and final wouldn't stay running long enough to boot. The original owner (s)must have reformatted the drive at some time because there was no recovery or hidden partition at all on the drive. I reloaded my (purchased) copy of xp, but I have no files to tell it it's a satellite or that it has a wireless terminal connect in it?
Can someone please tell this non-computer geek how to go about it and what I need to do??
Plz don't tell me to "junk it". I can't afford a new laptop and I'm not giving up my antique bullet ridden satellite until it jumps off a cliff on it's own.
Solved!

Need help recovering from glibc upgrade [SOLVED]

I recently did pacman -Syu on a system because I was having trouble with a softphone utility. I installed Arch on this laptop perhaps 6 months ago and have not done many upgrades since that time. Of course I've been waylaid by the recent glibc changes and I'm trying to recover. I think I've gotten a good deal of the way there by researching the issue and attempting a few solutions. But I'm quite confused by what I'm now seeing, so I want to ask for help here.
First, let me point out that I posted in this forum yesterday about certain events that led to my problems--see that thread at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1186089. Essentially, I followed the wrong set of instructions and did pacman -Syu --ignore glibc pacman -Su before doing pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz. That broke pacman, which, being the most current version, was expecting that glibc version to be on the system.
To remedy the problem I followed the procedure outlined in that thread--namely booting from a USB drive on the affected system and running pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz --root /mnt/brokenRoot. Things kinda started to work then: pacman would run, but I noted that my mouse cursor was not responding. I decided to try and finish the upgrade and so ran pacman -Syu again using the --ignore glibc switch as suggested at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib.
Things started to get really weird after that. For example, at a certain point during the boot process--I believe when the console is getting ready to switch to framebuffer (or whatever point that's called where screen resolution changes from vga)--and the screen just freezes. The laptop won't accept any keyboard or mouse input and just appears to be hung. I was able to chroot in to the system and cause the sshd daemon to start though, and have discovered that I can ssh in and do things.
I upgraded the kernel again today in an ssh session, which gave some quite strange results: mkinitcipio is searching for modules under /lib, whereas as I understand it, /lib is now supposed to contain nothing and is to be simply a symlink to /usr/lib. But I can't build an init image on this system unless a /modules directory is present under /lib. Well, the /lib directory was there, so I symlinked /usr/lib/modules to /lib and mkinitcpio ran fine after that. So what's up here? Why is mkinitcpio expecting the /modules directory to be under /lib?
Just as weird, there seems to be a newer glibc version. But I can't upgrade to it: I get the message "glibc: /lib exists in filesystem." Now, having read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib I know that there are suggestions for remedying this. But when I run the commands suggested there to try and find out what packages own files in /lib, it looks to me that all files there are owned by glibc 2.16.0-1:

Long story short, I'm quite confused by this. And I have a barely-working system I need to fix.
Can anyone please offer input on what might be going on with this system? And perhaps offer suggestions for straightening out the mess?
Thanks,
James

Ok. So I'm officially dumb--in case that wasn't already apparent. I thought I'd tried upgrading glibc after I'd deleted the symlink to /usr/lib/modules (I deleted it a couple of times). But I was apparently wrong: after just now deleting it upon reading your post, I see that the upgrade has worked and that the system reboots into its former normal state. So. it looks like it's fixed and like this thread can be marked solved. Still I'm curious: will mkinitcpio continue looking for modules in /lib?
Thanks,
James

Need help with SMS message telling me I have a voice mail, need to get rid of that

I have done a few searches on the internet and have found nothing that fixes my problem.
I use two message boxes/folders, one is for phone calls and the other is for SMS/MMS messages. I need to keep these this way (I am not searching though 100 text messages to find a phone number that is critical).
The problem occurred after I downloaded a new update (Jan 11th, 2010; think is like version 4.6 or something). Before, if I got a call it showed up in my call message box/folder and if they left a voice mail I have a special ring tone for voice mail messages. I also had it when I got a SMS/MMS message it went to its own "mailbox/folder" and had its own ring tone when a new one was sent. Now when I get a voice mail message due to the fact I also get a SMS/MMS message I only hear a text message ring tone (not good).
I need to know the instant I get a voice mail, the text messages are a nice thing to have for my significant other and friends. If I walk out of a location that I did not have reception and I get a voice mail, I now think its a text message and get to it when I can even though I needed it then.
Example: just think of leaving a building with your hands full heading to point B, when the voice mail told you a correction and divert to point C;
voice mail = hold everything and get the message all good
text message = head to point B, see a problem and pray you get to point C before anything bad happens).
I went to my local Sprint/Nextel store and they told me there was nothing I could do.
If this can't be fixed I will be forced to get another cell, then everyone including me will sufer because we will have to pay for it (just think taxes).
I feel exahusted in looking for a solution, if there is not one then blackberry needs to do an update.
Provided its a software problem that needs an update or maybe I am not to bright to find where to turn this off.
My questions about this would be:
1. How does the phone get a text message, does it generate it from my phone number or the phone number where my voice mail is sent
2. Once I know which number it is being sent from, can I put a text block on it
3. Last but not least, will it solve the problem?
Thanks
Incase it does not show up I have a Blackberry Curve 8350i from Nextel OS V4.6.313
