PLEASE HELP - Unable to restore all messages from my backup file (.bbb) - 21800 messages and I need them all

Hi.
This is not the first time I encountered this issue. The backup file itself is 18.5MB in size. The critical stuff is my 21800 messages (emails for 7 different email accounts). Whenever I do a restore, the DM only reads 13859 messages and unfortunately not in reverse order. So I end up with no emails for the last 7 months! BIG PROBLEM for me! I have done a selective restore. I have done a complete wipe and then a full restore (no success), then deleted all data and tried a selective restore and only selected the messages (still only around 13,500 messages).
There appears to be a limitation around the 13500 mark for messages.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help.

It's been a while since I used Apple's Backup, but you should be able to select "Restore" from within the app to find an iCal backup file. When you find your most recent backup file restore it to your main computer. An iCal backup should look like this: "iCal - 10/31/06.icbu". Once you have the file you can just double click on it and iCal will open and give a warning about overwriting your current database file. You can just select "Revert" to overwrite the current file since you have nothing in it now. Everything should then go back to the state it was in since your last backup. You might lose some of your most recent entries if they were not in the backup, but you should get back most of what you lost. Good Luck!!

I restored my iPod touch, but was unable to restore my data from a backup, so I synced it and now all of the data from my apps has gone, and so have in app purchases. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to get my app data back? All levels completed on games have been erased, and I am unable to use in app purchases which I did purchase, such as the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds. Thanks for your help

Go to the Device tab in iTunes' Preferences and se what the date iis of the backup(s). Apple only retaines the latest backup unless you restor from a backup and that one is also kept.

TS1627 Please Help. I received 4 emails from 1 person with the same message heading. The emails were automatically grouped by Mail. I replied to the latest mail in the conversation. Once sent the other messages in the conversation disappeared. I NEED THEM

Please Help. I received 4 emails from 1 person with the same message heading. The emails were automatically grouped Apple Mail. I replied to the latest mail in the conversation. Once sent the other messages in the conversation disappeared. I NEED THEM BACK! They all had very important attachments. I have tried looking for them in deleted items, even though I didn't throw any of them away, still cant find them. Never had this problem before. I'm pretty sure its a setting somewhere. Also tried expanding all conversations, no luck. Searching for the mails under the sent email address, no luck.
I'm sure they are not deleted but have somehow been hidden by Mail. Very frustrating.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kash.

I have found found out what has happened. I had requested a statement dating back to April 2012 from a supplier. They replied back with the latest statementof 2013 only but used the same subject heading as the previous monthly statements. Apple Mail automatically grouped these and I thought that they were sent altogether. As soon as I replied to the last email all other the previous emails ungrouped from the conversation leaving me lost as to where they had gone. They were all still sitting in my inbox but no longer part of the trcked conversation. I searched under the subject heading and all individual mails were all still there. (feeling stupid - )

Did you just update your AppleID with new email address or did you create a new AppleID?

How do you restore the system from a backup file that you created previously

I have a notebook, Pavilion g6 - 1031TX running windows 7 64bit OS, and ran the backup utility a few weeks ago before running a full system recovery to attemp to fix an issue - this issue was fixed by warranty, and now I need to recover everything from the backup files, I have run the restore executable in the folder and it created another folder on my C: drive (System recovery files), how do I use this to restore the system to its previous state?

Unfortunately, the backup utilty portion of Recovery is not optimal solution for restoring many files.Unless you know exactly where they go you are stuck. Most of the important stuff such as photos,music,etc will be in the 'Users' folder under your user name. You will have to manually move them to correct location.
A better option in the future is Windows 7's backup app in Control Panel.

I have an IPad Model number A1475. I want to search all emails from one certain sender, Mark them all at one time without doing each one individually, and then delete them all at one push of a button. How do I do this?

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

HT1766 I purchased two apps for my iPhone and every time I try to install them on my phone I keep getting a message saying that the file is over 50MB and I need to connect to wi-fi or use iTunes on my computer to download. How do I do that?

I just got an iPhone 4 and have been downloading apps from the iTunes store when I encountered difficulty with two specific apps. Each time I try to download dictionary and star walk I get a message saying they are over 50MB and I need to be connected to iTunes to download, which I've tried to no avail. I also thought that when I sign into iTunes on my PC that it would automatically show that my iPhone device is connected (just like it does with my iPod) but it doesn't show the phone icon. I am not sure iTunes is recognizing my phone. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

All my outlook contacts are now in the Icloud and I need them on my PC

The ICloud has hijacked all my Outlook contacts! None are on my computer... how do I get them out of the cloud and back on my PC?

You can manually backup contacts using My Contact Backup and email yourself the backup file and imported to outlook there might also be a separate app to backup calendar.
Have you tried resyncing outlook to iCloud?

Can someone please help me... i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD

hi.. i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD.... i'm not sure which is really better, the regular hard drive or the SSD... because if i buy the mac with SSD it would be the 128GB, so i want to know how would that affect the overall performance of the computer...
Thanks!

I would suggest that you purchase the SSD through a third party source. You will save money that way.
Regarding the performance, go to the OWC web site. They have bench tested their SSD vs conventional HDD and have published the results for anyone to see,
The difference between the 128GB and the 256GB drives is capacity, no practical change to performance.
Ciao.

My computer crashed, so I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox, and I want them all back.

My computer crashed, and I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox. When I re-started Firefox, it didn't ask me about starting a new session or restoring the old one. How can I get back the tabs I had open?

I would try calling the support line and pleading your case, as your movies have gone the same place everything else on your computer did when it 'crashed' - the bit bucket. That's why iTunes has repeated warnings and reminders about backing up your purchases, it's why there is backup software built in to MacOS, and it's why everyone says to back up your computer. The stuff on there is both valuable and fragile, and it only takes a $70 external drive and a few minutes every once in a while to make sure it's all safe.
For the record, it's not "because of Apple" that you can't re-download your movies, it's the studios and their contracts that prevent that.

HT4946 When I restore my phone from a backup, isnt it suppose to give me all my apps back as well??

When I restore my phone from a backup, isn't it suppose to give me back all my apps as well?

No it is not, a back up holds App Data but not the app itself
Apps are transfereed to iTunes by a method called "Transfer purchases" aswel as all purchases from the itunes or app store on the device.
If the apps are on iTunes you need to sync them back to the iPhone.
If the apps are not on iTunes on your pc/mac make sure you are signed into the correct Apple ID then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases here it will show you a list of the apps you have downloaded/purchased with that Apple ID. To download them simply click the cloud button with the arrow in the middle to the right of the app.

Restoring itunes library from a backup

I need to be able to sync my iphone, etc... Help!

When restoring Itunes library from a backup DVD, will it overwrite anything already in the library?
No.

If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck

HT201272 Im unable to find deteted apps in purchased section in App Store ..please help me in restoring the deleted app

Im unable to find deteted apps in purchased section in App Store ..please help me in restoring the deleted app

Is the app still in your country's store (if it isn't then you won't be able to redownload it), you haven't changed countries since buying it (content is tied to the country as well as the account), and it isn't hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
If the app is no longer in your country's store then do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library ?
