"previous recipients" wiped out?

hello,
imac running tiger using mail. our battery backup failed and the machine was shut down unexpectedly.
thus the previous recipients have been wiped out in my mail.
is there any way to get them back? client does not save them in her address book so she does not have any record of them in there.
i do have daily backups of the clients mail...

Sorry, but there's no way to get them back. If your client is going to be emailing those people regularly, she should be saving them in her Address Book.

History, Downloads and previous tabs wiped out upon re-boot

I have looked at all of the posts on this but none of the solutions proposed works. As long as I do not reboot my computer, the history and tabs are retained. As soon as I reboot, everything (downloads, tabs, history) gets wiped out. This just started a few days ago so the question is, what has changed? How do I figure out what has triggered this problem?

To my knowledge, Firefox doesn't do any different kind of clean-up when you restart your computer compared with when you close and restart Firefox in between Windows boots.
If the problem is limited to Windows restarts, I suspect that some external software might be involved. For example, software that cleans up personal data or software used to "sandbox" your browser so that it can't store settings directly on the hard drive. Do either of those sound like potential factors on your system?
Do you know what the IOBit Apps Toolbar extension is for? One description I saw in a search was some kind of adware. If that just showed up recently, it could be that some "free" software you installed includes unexpected or unwanted components and may be affecting Firefox. At a minimum I suggest disabling that extension here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
You might consider making additional backups of your settings folder. This would capture the last state of your history/bookmarks file (places.sqlite) and open tabs (sessionstore.js) so that if necessary you could restore them. Depending on what is clearing these files, you might need to store them externally (e.g., on a USB flash drive or in cloud storage). These might help:
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe/ (for latest version, see the versions page: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe/versions/]) (I haven't tried this add-on myself)

Junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection or 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam.

junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. from the flags, i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection. Formerly clicking on the email address in question would allow one to 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam. I've adjusted all the settings under mail preferences, but that is not helping.

Hello Diane162,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to be able to filter some of the junk mail that you are receiving in Mail. The attached article has a lot of great information on junk mail filtering, including how to mark as junk and adjust the junk filter.

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

HT5477 Highlights are wiped out in IOS 8. How do we restore previous version IOS 7

WWith IOS 8 my highlights and notes in pubs are lost, highlights take over the whole document and you cannot take a step back without wiping out all previous highlights and notes with it. Never had this issue with IOS 7.
CAn't get any help from Apple.

I guess I've personally never needed to know when I updated an app or to have a list of apps I've updated. Wouldn't this be a problem in the future when you have years of updates to scroll through? It just seems like that would unnecessarily increase the load time of the Updates tab. It would still be nice to have an option to turn that off or at least make it a collapsible menu item or something.
I could see where it might come in handy if you have the automatic app updates turned on, but I have that turned off since I like to see what changes an app is making before I install it, so I don't need that turned on since I manually update my apps.

My HTC One received a software update yesterday, and it wiped out most of the theme and live wallpaper options. How do I get the previous options back?

My HTC One received a software update yesterday, and it wiped out most of the theme and live wallpaper options. How do I get the previous options back?

This was NOT an update, rather a downgrade... the font size in text messages is now smaller and difficult to read. I have tried changing font size in settings and it does not apply to text messages. The lock/unlock screen pattern now reminds me of drawing a stick figure. My vehicle is now having problems with Bluetooth importation of my phone book--I keep receiving an on screen error message as it tries to continuously reattempt to import... And yes, the live weather wallpaper i favored is no longer an option... Why?

Previous recipients list in Mail

We have had a software problem with my wife's mac. I set her up as a user on my iMac, then we wiped her machine and reconstructed. Here is the problem. On her laptop now, there are no previous recipients in Mail. As it turns out, she really needs these. They are on the iMac. I need to move that list from the iMac to her laptop.
I have looked in Library/application support, but can find no entry for Mail or Address book. I know that there must be a file somewhere with this data. Any ideas?

That seems to be just what I need.
Here was (is still) my confusion - when I just navigate to Library/application support - there is no entry for address book, but when I do it as you said, by holding down opt and selecting library from the go menu - there it is.
Why is this?

I have adobe elements 6 program and my disk got distorted. i have all my serial numbers still as i have all packaging. is there a way the program can be downloaded. my computer had to be wiped out and was trying to reinstall

hi. i have the adobe elemenets6/premiere elements 4 package and my disk has gotten destroyed from getting all scratched up. my laptop i had my program on had to be wiped out and everything has to be reloaded. is there a way the program can be downloaded from the internet? i have the packaging still where it shows my serial numbers.

iPods do not work with "accounts." They work with your iTunes library. You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod. One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time. iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content. Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to? If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library. Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library. You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

In mail, how do I print the list of Previous Recipients?

I'm using mail in 10.5.4. It works fine for me, including the capability of suggesting email addresses from the Previous Recipients list. But, of course, this runs only on my eMac at home.
I plan to be away for 3 weeks, and will be using email on various folks' computers, by contacting my email server directly (verizon.net). But my email server does not have my Previous Recipients list.
How can I print the Previous Recipients list?
In the Previous Recipients window, I find that I can select a single email address with a mouse click, and select all the recipients (command-a), but the copy command (command-c) does not work.
I've also tried to look at the file:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBookApplication Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr,
but it is not in a readily viewable text format. The Unix "file" command describes it as an "SQLite database (Version 3)."
Does anyone know how to print a copy of the Previous Recipients, to take with me on vacation?
Thanks

This turns out to be more complicated than I had hoped, but it is possible.
The Apple mail program uses a database program available in Unix called “sqlite3.”
The executable is in /usr/bin.
For information about this program, type “man sqlite3” in a terminal window. Also, there is information on the web, at www.sqlite.org.
A friend whose day job is in database administration helped me work this out.
First, go the proper directory in a terminal window:
cd ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
The file of interest is MailRecents-v4abcdmr.
Note that the “file” command describes this as:
file MailRecents-v4abcdmr
MailRecents-v4.abcdmr: SQLite database (Version 3)
sqlite3 MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
SQLite version 3.4.0
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite>
Let’s see the headers:
sqlite> .headers ON
Now, let’s get some information about what’s in this database file:
sqlite> select * from SQLITE_MASTER; /* don’t forget the semicolon */
/* lots of output */
The table ZABCDMAILRECENT is of interest to us. Note that the last 3 columns are called ZLASTNAME, ZFIRSTNAME, and ZEMAIL. We want these from the table, in columns, in filename.txt.
sqlite> .mode columns ZABCDMAILRECENT
sqlite> .width 15 15 36 /* make sure the columns are wide enough */
sqlite> .output filename.txt /* note: no ‘;’ */
sqlite:> select ZLASTNAME, ZFIRSTNAME, ZEMAIL from ZABCDMAILRECENT;
sqlite> .exit
Done. The email names and addresses are now in filename.txt, one per line.
Maybe, someday, someone at Apple will add this capability to mail.

HT1688 Why does when they upgrade my phone they turn on Icloud stuff I did not have and wiped out my phone contacts, but after it did that it took another back up and I could not get my contacts from backup unless I go back sept , why not incremental back

recent upgrade I lost all my contacts, I only had icloud for find my phone. My son backs his contacts up to my id, so when the upgrade happen it wipped out my contacts. I had been doing backups on my computer when I plug it in. But the problem is that it overlays the previous backup and after the upgrade it wiped out my phone contacts. So now I lost them and can not recover them. You need a more robust backup for IPhone.... I can not use the cloud because of my work will not let me. I have confidential information or access to it on my phone. I do not like each time I upgrade I lose my contacts and then I can't recover them because the backup runs again and overlays it. Should be a way to get increamental backups at point and time and not overlay everything. So frustrating with my upgrades and constantly losing my contacts. Very insufficent.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

Outlook calendar wiped out and won't sync after device update to 5.0

I recently got a new laptop at work and had to reinstall the Blackberry Desktop Manager from the web. Upon opening it suggested I download an update for my device to 5.0, so I did. Ever since then, it wiped out my Outlook calendar at work when I synced but updated my device with all the events but it will not sync back to my Outlook. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the BB Desktop Manager several times but the sync always gets as far updating my device then I get a popup saying an error occurred and needs to close BB Desktop Manager. If I don't hit close on that error, the sync continues then stops as soon as it gets to updating Outlook. I REALLY need to get my Outlook calendar back up-to-date bc it is for work and ppl need to view my calendar to setup meetings.
How can I revert back to the previous version of my device using my device since I don't have a backup on my laptop from when I updated it????

If none of the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store are working, but the Apple built-in ones are, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

My memory has been wiped out help??????

I forgot my password I typed it in three times wrong and then a few minutes after that by itself all the memory had been wiped out. The problem was I needed my contacts and I had very very valuble photos on there that I can't have back now I also bought stacks of ring tones and now they are gone too so I wasted money. Please can anyone tell me how to get my memory back??? That would really help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
BBs are secure devices. When a device lock password is assigned, the user then plays a key role in that security. Forgetting your password means you failed in your role...and the BB dutifully assumed it was no longer in your hands and wiped itself clean. This is exactly as it is supposed to be...it's called WAD -- Working As Designed.
The only hope is if you have previously taken a backup. If you have ever taken a backup on your PC, then find those IPD files and use the most recent one to restore from.
