Old Outlook files separated from current -- need to find some old saved emails

I had a computer issue and the computer guy who fixed it separated my old files into a folder he called "Windows Old" on my desktop. I can find all my old files there except I can't open any Outlook files. There's an email I saved
from Nov 2006 that I need to find and open somewhere within this folder.
I've found some outlook files in that folder, but it says I can open them only with Outlook.... but when I try to open them from within the Outlook menu, I can't find the files. And copying and pasting the location doesn't help. Please help!
Below is a copy-and-past of where I've found my outlook data file from that pariod
C:\Users\Dell1\Desktop\Windows.old\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Thanks

Hi <o:p></o:p>
This issue may be occurring due to these reasons like:<o:p></o:p>
If Outlook finds the .pst file on a server to deliver the email messages which is inaccessible.
If Microsoft Outlook got the PST file but it had been corrupted due to some reasons.
If you have changed the location of Outlook .pst file and did not re-locate it in Outlook.
Use one of the following methods to resolve the above mentioned issue:
Click to re-locate your Outlook PST file
Click for PST that is located on a server
Click to fix it using PST Recovery Solution

I'd like Time Machine to backup my personal account's files separately from my guest account's files. Both have big files. What's the best way to do this? Should I connect 2 external HD to my new iMac, one for each account?

Since my new external hard drive is have a lot of space, I'm thinking of splitting it for Time Machine and external storage.
This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.

Exporting audio files separately from video using a Mac

Using a Mac computer, can you export audio files separately from video in Adobe Premiere Elements 11? If so, how would I do that?
Thanks as always.

I worked through the instructions in the Classroom in a Book for exporting
the video and the audio together and the audio separately, but I am not
quite sure of some of what to check in some of the categories. I would
appreciate some guidance. The purpose of sending this project is to have
my son clean up the sound.

Retrieve old saved emails after reinstalling OS X

Happy New Year all!
I have recently reinstalled OS X 10.3.9 after some problems.
I believed that I backed up everything but cannot find my old saved emails.
Where should I look to copy my old emails into my new boxes?
Thanks!

Thanks so much for your prompt response!!!!!
Is my GIZMO! OVERDRIVE (some call it the 'thumb drive') the USB stick you mentioned? I did use that to import/drag over the files and named the one folder that has them all in it: "mailboxes".....but when I try to open it, all the files are there but they all show up as empty icons and if I click on them (on this new laptop Pro Book), I get message that there's no default application to open them and asks me to choose an application. Wondering if all the files are there but that they will not appear until they go into the right place, using the process you describe. Wanted to check all of that before I try anything. Thanks again!

This is a tricky one as Apple changed the format of
Mail messages between 10.3 and 10.4. The original
format for Mail was UNIX MBOX but when people
upgraded to Tiger they were changed to single files
for SpotLight compatibility.
However the good news is that the new Mail can import
the old format so you need to somehow get your old
folder from the G4 (found in the location above -
drag the account name folder over), easiest with a
USB stick, on to the new machine.
Open Mail on Tiger and go to File, Import Mailboxes
and select (this is important) Other, then select
your old account folder to import the files. You may
have to select the actual Inbox.mbox for this to work
The Address Book files are in
<username>/Library/Application Support in a folder
called AddressBook - if you drag it to the same place
on the new machine it should be recognized and used.
Hope that helps!

Plain text files appeared from nowhere in my finder window

I have a whole bunch of plain text files that have appeared in my finder window when searching in my user profile at the stage where I can view documents, desktop, music etc [sorry not sure what this is called and wanted to make obvious what I'm talking about].
Can anyone help. I have no idea what these files are, but they look empty.
Have I hit a view hidden files button somewhere that I can't find again? Can I just delete them all?
Thanks for the help, this forum has been very useful for a number of things!
Nick

Hi nick,
You have navigated to your home folder. (/Drive/Users/shortname/)
Some programs will automatically save files there. You can delete them if you want but that may destroy settings in the app that put them there. How long was it since you last viewed the visible files in your home directory? Have you installed any new programs since then? What are the names of the files and can you infer from them where they came from? You can always try moving the files to another folder (without deleting them) and then see if you are suddenly missing any settings in a new app or if they are replaced. Might help you figure out who is putting them there.
Hope that helps.
edit: There is no view hidden files button unless you installed a program which specifically makes them viewable, or were playing around in terminal I suppose.

I can't find all my saved emails from an email address I was downloading to Modzilla. How do I find it again?

I tried to go into Modzilla and find my saved emails which was the sole purpose of having it. However, when I clicked on Modzilla, it loaded, then asked about having an email with them. I wanted to use an existing email. I put in my current email. It didn't lead me where I thought it would, and now I can't remember my username and password to get into my previous email!

Your username and email password are established with your email provider. You need to work with them if you do not know what they are.
Your email address is usually your username. Some providers use the entire address and others only want the part before the @ sign.

PLEASE HELP ME! I really need help finding a way to email apple!

Today I purchased 6 songs from the Itunes Store, directlyfrom my ipod touch. 2 of them downloaded great! The other 4 say "Download error. Please tap again." I have never had a problem like this before so I contacted apple from my phone and they told me to email apple. I dont have the website to do that so I thought maybe this would help me find it. I wouldnt have made such a big deal but, it ALREADY took the money I paid for these songs. I dont have the songs and I no longer have that money...what do I do????

Reinstalled OSX where are my old saved emails?

Hello,
I've successfully reinstalled OSX. I imported my old mailboxes but they do not contain my saved emails in them. Where may I find them? Perhaps I impoted the boxes incorrectly?
Thanks!
yojames

Not sure what you mean. The imported mailboxes appear as subfolders of Inbox? They should appear within an Import folder below Inbox...
Did you choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format?
Can you still see the (empty) imported mailboxes in Mail after quitting Mail and opening it again? Can you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail?

How to compress and extract files & databases from current BC site?

Hello All -
It's been a good run with BC, but we're under new management and are starting over with a different CMS. I would like to extract all data from the current site (text from all pages, images, pdfs, etc from media library, information from customers). I know how to export customer reports, but is there a way to compress and extract everything in a comprehensive way?
Thanks so much - any help would be much appreciated!
Also... need to do this ASAP...

Hi,
Unfortunately it's not a comprehensive as you may be hoping. You'll need to export everything using the existing tools mentioned in the article below. It's similar concept of migration one site to another.

I'm afraid there's no automated feature for this at the moment.
Kind regards,

Finder - Create new files directly from a folder using finder ?

In Finder, is there a way to do a right-click in a folder and create a new file like: New Text File or New Document from that location?
I used to do this oftenly in Windows (right click, New Word document) but I have not found it in Mac OS X, any work around ?
Thanks

Try the [Apple feedback page|http://www.apple.com/feedback>. However, note that this is unlikely to be added. It would be a very cumbersome feature.
On Windows, you're almost guaranteed to be tied to a particular set of document creation tools. If you're using an office suite other than MS Office, you're so weird you might as well be using a Mac! This means that commands like "New Document" make sense there.
On a Mac, a "document" could be created with MS Word, Pages, TextEdit, NeoOffice, OpenOffice, Mellel, Nisus Writer Marinter Write, or any of a host of other programs. (Mac users tend to put less emphasis on the popular tool and prefer to use the tool that "fits the hand" best.) Further complicating things is the fact that "document" is a very generic term, since every spreadsheet is a document, every Photoshop file is a document, etc. The contextual menu would rapidly become unmanageable if it had to fill up with "New Whatever Document" commands for every app on your hard drive!
It is possible for you to add your own custom services to the contextual menu using AppleScript or Automator, and you should be able to create services to create new documents for the apps you use frequently. Check on the [AppleScript forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724] for guidance on how to do this.

How can I edit an existing pdf file? I just need to replace some text

my boss wants me to amend a pdf document and I've been doing it wrong. The programs I have are illustrator, in design and photoshop hope you can help.
thank you in advance.

I have amended a pdf before sometime ago but totally forgotten what I did.
But I do know it can be done
The fact that you edited one PDF doesn't mean you can edit another. There are many possible PDF "recipes" which may or may not result in direct edit-ability.
In your original post, you state you've "been doing it wrong."
In post #2, you state "it didn't work."
In post #4 you state "it doesn't allow me..."
It would be a lot easier to advise you if we had more detail in terms of how you're going about your attempts to edit, and what actually happens when you try. For example:
     "I use the Type Tool and click/drag to select text, but it makes a new text box instead."
     "I can't select individual objects. It looks like everything is grouped in one big frame"
     "When I click on text, it gets elected like objects, with anchor points all around."

I would need help with the following please: I need to save some of my email on a disk. I was going to Print, then Save PDF but then I am stuck. Help please. Thanks. Elisabeth

I would need help with saving some eamil messages to a disk to unclutter my email. How can I do this please?
Thanks.
Elisabeth

Open the email and then from the File menu select Save As Rich Text Format. That'll save it to open in TextEdit. If you want a pdf then open the email and do command-p (Print) and then from the PDF drop down box lower left corner select Save as PDF.

I need to find some tutorials

I will be developing my first piece of software in java. And I cannot find any references to developing software. I would like them to be free. See what I am doing is developing a piece of software for our customers so they can view prices on our products, order products get daily price changes, and a lot of other stuff to come. Let me know what you think and any good references thanks.

Sun has excellent free tutorials online. There are many other tutorials and if you ask Google for "java tutorial xxx" where "xxx" is a topic, you'll get an array of choices.

Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type*
or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

Get file list from URL/web directory

Hey guys,
I have created a script for After Effects that can download multiple images from URLs that are given in an array. Now ideally what I want, is to get all the filenames of the files in a certain browsable web directory to be put in an array.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does someone have the knowledge here to help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

This is more difficult to do than it seems. Since the files are on a remote web server, you need to find some way to get the server to divulge its local file structure, which is not something most servers will do. The absolute best way is to have control over the web server and run some server-side code (PHP, node.js, whatever) to generate the file list on the server side and then fetch it with your client/extension/script. Other than that it's almost impossible to get a 3rd party server to divulge its file structure as far as I know, mainly for security reasons. So the #1 question is: do you have control over the server/website that you're trying to fetch from or not?
