One day of emails disappeared

I've had my Q10 for six weeks, & my OS is now v. 10.1.0.2030. Yesterday before I left for a business trip, I powered off my computers both at home & at the office. I had yesterday's emails on the Q10, some that I'd read & some that I intended to read later. Last night, however, all of the emails that I'd received yesterday were gone! Only the ones from previous days were there.
I'm baffled. The emails in my business email account vanished, but those in my home email account were there. With no computers running, they couldn't have been picked up by Mozilla Thunderbird, my email program. I also have the "confirm deletion" enabled on the Q10.
During the past six weeks, one day of emails has disappeared before--maybe two or three other times. Yesterday, however, they were important ones with attachments that I need for this trip.
Could I have deleted a dozen or more emails inadvertently? How could this have happened?
Thanks.

Buzby,
Each email account has an account folder (those that are POP, are named to begin with POP. In each account folder are the INBOX.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Drafts.mbox, etc., for that one account/address.
There would be no reason to have an INBOX.mbox in the Mailboxes folder -- this folder is for any mailboxes you have created for archival purposes, and are referred as On My Mac. The Outbox.mbox is also in the Mailboxes folder.
You need to make a duplicate of the Mail folder, immediately, and drag that copy to the Desktop for safety's sake, until we sort this out.
What you report would result if you EDITED her old account info, rather than adding a new account, although I would not expect the name to be changed. Is the Username that you are entering unique to each email address?
More info, please.
Ernie

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Uploaded photos by an SD-Card stored in an album. Next day all photos disappeared.

I live in Germany. After my visit in the U.S. two weeks ago I ´ve got following problem with my MacBook Air:
I import photos to iPhoto as usual and after one day these photos disappeared. I tried to find them through "Finder" without success.
What I do get since that is the message: "Files will be uploaded to the Mediathek". And that needs days and days......
Never had this before and I am really upset, because I think about loosing all these nice holiday memories.
Please, can anybody help me ?

edihei,
what exactly happened when you imported your photos?
as usual
how exactly? You imported the photos from your card directly into iPhoto? And did you delete them from the card or are they still on the card?
Did you see the photos in events in iPhoto after import? Have you worked with them and edited them before you ejected the card and quit iPhoto?
"Files will be uploaded to the Mediathek"
What is the exact message (gerne auch auf Deutsch!)?
This message suggests that you may not have let iPhoto finish the import, before you quit the program and removed the card.

Léonie

Gmail Sync pulling more days of emails than what is selected in Preferences

I seleted to show only one day of email in the Sync Preferences of my gmail account. But it is pulling email from the last six days.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug or am I not understanding what the Sync Show Email option does? I downloaded 1.4 the second day it was out...
Any advice or help? Thank you

Well... I changed it to three days, and it worked... What's up with one day?...

Losing iCloud emails - when I receive emails into my iCloud accounts they disappear very quickly, either after one day or once I've opened one of them on either my iMac, laptop, iPhone or iPad. I've checked all my account settings and they seem fine

I have 5 email accounts, 2 iCloud based and 3 using another provider. When the iCloud mail arrives on any device and either it's opened or a day passes, they disappear...sometimes into Trash and sometimes who knows where. I've checked the settings on every device and they seem correct, and identical to my non-iCloud accounts. I had this problem once before and frankly don't recall how it was resolved, which obviously wasn't successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Al

Yes, post your settings here, if you really have verified the settings and they are correct there is nothng else to offer, so post them here and let others advise as to their 'correctness'

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

IMac running 10.5.8, me email won't accept my password. One day it worked normally, next day it won't and I did not change password. Now I cannot reset the password, almost as if it was changed by someone else. I am the only user of this iMac.

My email won't accept my password, was working fine, then one day it wasn't. It is almost as if someone else changed the password and now I cannot use my password or change it to a new one. My iMac is running 10.5.8 , using Earthlink and Safari. Any ideas on this problem?

Are you using the Mail client or Safari to access your email?

How to set SPD workflow to send email one day before the Due Date? ?

I need to add a step in workflow for a item tracking list: send reminder email one day before the due date.
I thought there is an Action in SPD: wait for [Due Date] to equal [Today]minus one day
But there is no way to do that.
I figured may be I need to create a calculated field [cal-date] that set to: =[today] plus one day.
Then in workflow -
wait till [Due Date] is equal to [cal-date], and send an email
What is the formula for the above calculated field [Today] plus one day?

Hi,
You can add an approval action( such as Start Approval Process) -> click "Approval" -> go to “Change the behavior of a single task” . Then you will
see the "When Task expires" stage.
You can have a look at the blog:

I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV. Has anyone yet found a solution? One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers? One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared. I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working. Help please!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Email Attendee One Day Before Event

I have scheduled clients to whom I would like to have iCal send reminders, one day prior to their appointments. I've looked through the forum and have not found a way to do this. Any suggestions, via alarm, run script, automator, etc?
Thanks in Advance!

You could, as you say, have a run script alarm on the various appointment events. The problem is that iCal doesn't (at least, not as far as OS 10.5) pass to the script the information on the event that is alarming, so the script has to go looking for it. I would suggest keeping the appointments in a separate calendar and set up a script to run each morning to pick out each event in the appointments calendar for the next day and generate the emails that way.
Have you the clients in the appointments as attendees?

My outbox of one of my email account(POP) is disappeared. How can I have it back?

Sort of.
- Apps and other purchases are locked to the account that purchased them.
- You have to log into the account opd do certain things with the purchases like transfer then to your computer.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
Try recovering yur PS for the first axccount so y can change the email address.
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.
