OMG Where are all my email folders?

All the email folders I created (about 12) to organize mail from clients and personal contacts are gone ... tell me I haven't lost the messages as well!
I tried to pull them out of TimeMachine from before I did the upgrade to 10.8 and I can't - previous backups are "pinked" out.
Seems like other may be having simular problems. Hope this is easily resolvable :/
Also - seems like I can't "Quit" email - need to force quit!

  • Where are all the "DCIM" folders on iPhone?  Everything not in Camera Roll.

    I just finished stripping down all the DCIM folders accessible from a PC via Windows Explorer.  I'm really looking for answers on the "how to", not "why it is" or "it just is that way" please.
    The DCIM folders (mine [iPhone 5 w iOS 7.x] shows 5, naming convention is beyond me).  These consist of the following...
    Total files equals the total number of pictures/videos in Camera Roll.
         - JPEGs (iPhone Created, iMSG Saved, or Moved (file xfr/emailed) to iPhone & Saved to Camera Roll),
         - PNGs (screenshots)
         - QuickTime Videos (iPhone Created & iMSG Saved to Camera Roll)
    What is not accessible in the DCIM folder, but visible via Photos & Albums on the iPhone, are the following,
         - Instagram
         - Facebook
         - User created folders, mine came from iTools
         - Access to Albums created on the iPhone
                   * If I organized on the iPhone, why can't I access that organization via the DCIM folder?
    What I know, if a file/image is in a user created folder, I cannot access it from Instagram.  An image must exist in Camera Roll for Instagram to be able to access it... aka I have to save the file to Camera Roll.
    iCloud & iTunes, are not answers to the question, "How do I access all otherwise PC-considered "DCIM" folders?" when the only access allowed is "My iPhone --> Internal Storage --> DCIM --> '5 Folders housing all Camera Roll images/videos"
    As you can read, this is not a question "What is Camera Roll?", I just defined what it is above.
    Thank you!

    Maybe this will help you with a description of how iOS sorts photos. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4221.
    As far as creating folders while in Camera Roll, the camera roll is not really designed to store photos on a long term basis, hense why if something happens to the iPhone, you lose your photos. It is designed for you to import the photos to the computer and do your organization there, and then sync the photos back to the device via iTunes. Then, should something happen to the iPhone, your photos are still safe on the computer. The ability to create folders and arrange photos through the Camera Roll is rather new. I'm not sure how it handles them, but earlier versions just put a "shortcut" so to speak in the folders you created, with the original file remaining in the Camera Roll. I'm not sure how that may have changed, but I am not sure how it handles these folders now. Seems you have discovered some of this by your comment on Instagram.
    I do know that in Windows, and from what I have read it is the same on a Mac, you cannot use Explorer to put photos back into the Camera Roll. While you can read from the Camera Roll, you cannot write to it with the computer. Someone may be able to dispute that, but natively through Windows I can be sure that writing to the Camera Roll is not allowed.
    Regarding your comment about the SD card, it is true, despite the fact the iPhone uses Flash memory, you cannot write to certain areas of the memory, and as I stated earlier, the Camera Roll is one of them. While it will save photos from the camera, and will also allow you to save photos from email, messages or other applications, it does not allow you to copy materials from the computer. This is the way Apple designed it.
    I believe I read in your other post that someone suggested you use the feedback channel, but in case I was wrong, here it is. If you want Apple to see your comments, you need to post there, as they do not participate in the forum. The feedback link is www.apple.com/feedback and then click on the appropriate link.

  • Thunderbird starts up with empty inbox - where are all my emails?

    I started Thunderbird as usual today. New mail loaded, but all old emails in my Inbox were gone. Can I get them back? How do I stop this happening again?

    Hi dscarb and Airmail,
    In my case, when I opened up Thunderbird like normal it was just all empty, there were no emails or account settings, all it had was the basic program settings that I have set and my address book was still there. I had two email accounts coming into Thunderbird, have been using it for years and this has never happened. I know that all my emails are still in gmail webmail and my isp webmail, I had my accounts set as IMAP, so I know they're not lost, however for the copies to all have disappeared from Thunderbird and even my account folders is very strange. And I'm most nervous that I may have lost all my coloured tags for my emails for the last 10 years! Still waiting for an answer to my own question that I posted separately from this, haven't heard anything yet but really want some advice from someone who might know how to retrieve everything as it was before.

    IOS is the operating system for an iPhone, or an iPad, I assume you mean OSX as this is a Mac forum.
    What version did you update from, and to.

  • Where are all the Photo and Music files hiding?

    When I "Get Info" for the Music folder in my Home directory it says that the folder contains 7,672 items taking up 34.87 GB of HD space. On the bottom of the iTunes window it says that iTunes includes 3,514 songs using 16.55 GB.
    Similarly, "Get Info" for the Pictures folder in my Home directory says that it includes 24,989 photo files using 28.22 GB of space. However, on the bottom of the iPhoto window it says that there are 5,574 photos in iPhoto.
    The question is, what are and where are all of these extra music files and photos?
    The numbers quoted in the applications themselves look right. I don't have 7,672 tunes and I definitely don't have 24,989 photos.
    I transfered the folders from my iMac to the Macbook Pro by connecting the iMac in Target Disk mode by Firewire. Is it possible that somehow I created many duplicate music and photo files? How do I eliminate the duplicates to free up HD space?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    What Mac do you have? MacBook?
    Version of iLIfe?
    iPhoto stores and uses a package now for the iPhoto LIbrary which if you do get info and show package contents has your files and library you imported.
    Might want to ask in iLife area too.

    In the source list click devices (so far so good) then click the entry for your iphone or ipod.  that doesn't exist. HELP asap
    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • TS3147 Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?  I can't find Normal, just Draft and Best.

    Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2??  I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best.  I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly.  Help.

    Hi,
    Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
    Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
    You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

  • Where are all of my photo albums?

    I just updated my computer & found that Iphoto is now gone & that Photos has replaced it. Where are all of my photo albums that I spent so much time organizing in Iphoto now? I can't find them anywhere in Photos. It's a very badly, designed system!

    Hi Eric,
    Thank you for taking the time to respond.
    I have a time capsule doing automatic backups on my iMac.  I would not know which date to restore from as I just happened to notice the missing mail when I went to look for one of the old messages. 
    I tried your suggestion of checking the Mail/V2 files in finder, but it did not work.  There are messages there, but they too only go back a year. 
    If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. 

  • I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

    I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

    Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
    Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive?  If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
    Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
    If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column.  This will display all images on your computer.  Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
    Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path".  This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
    Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

    "Unlike".  iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware.  I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now.  Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.

    Very many thanks Niel. My problem solved in less than five minutes. I've never had to use that command before. I found the folder and copied it - but I'm still no clearer as to where it was!
    Thanks again

  • Where are all my pics from my iphone that are suppose to have been backed up in icloud

    where are all my pics from my iphone that was suppose to be backed up to icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.
