Re-sent EarlyWatch

Hi,
In Solution Manager some RFC conntion was fixed and job scheduled every week, is anyone tell me how to change job time, in other words i want to re-sent early watch again, can't wait 1 week...
Thanks

hi,
as long as i know, you can check the ewa in sdccn and over menue -> edit -> start now.
After running Maintenaince package, it should reserve new time for the next ewa.
Regards,
René

  • Error while generating earlywatch report.

    Hi Guru's
                  I am having problem in generating earlywatch report.
    In solution manager i find these errors:-
    The data for this session is overdue. Data has not yet been transferred from the associated satellite system.
    Go to the Service Data Control Center (transaction SDCCN) in the satellite system and check why the data has not been sent.
    Typical sources of errors are:
    The RFC connection for the SAP Solution Manager system is not working.
    The 'Task Processor' background job, which collects the session data, has been changed.
    Problems arose while data was being collected (see the detail log for the task that collects the session data).
    A periodic 'SDCC Maintenance Package' task has not been scheduled to check whether your SAP Solution Manager system requests session data.
    Session number: 1000000002286
    In source system tcode sdccn when i try to run Refresh sessions i get following error:-

    Hi Akif,
    Could you please try deleting the RFC Connection and entering it again in the Managed system.
    1) SDCCN
    2) Goto-> Settings-> Task specific.
    3) RFC Destinations-> Settings click on change mode.
    4) Delete the RFC and then add the RFC Connection again and mark as Master and active.
    Then check it, hope it solves the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Autom. replication of EarlyWatch Alerts in 2nd Solution Manager possible?

    Hi experts,
    I just received a question from a customer whether it is possible to automatic replicate EarlyWatch Alerts generated for systems in SolMan A to SolMan B without having all satellite systems connected to SolMan B.
    There are two reports available I know: BDL_GET_SESSION_DATA and BDL_GET_DATA_AND_CREATE_SESSIO
    At least via the last report it is possible to read the session number in SolMan A and create a new session with this data in SolMan B. But it is not possible to assign the sessions to a solution or run it as daily job...
    Do you know if there is such a functionality in SAP standard or do we need to build our own solution here?
    Regards, Richard

    Hello,
    This is how you genrate an EWA for on Satellite system in two Solution Manager systems.
    One will be created automatically via the Maintenance Package (providing you followed best practices) or periodic EarlyWatch of Solution Manager Task if you are not follwoing best practices.
    Say we have Solution Manager A & B. In SDCCN in RFC Destinations, we define Solution Manager A as the Master.
    So this will be where the EWA task created by the Maintenace Package task will be sent.
    For the Solution Manager B you created a Earlywatch periodci task, only you make the RFC Destination the SM<SID>CLNT<NO#>_BACK (where the SID is the SID of Solman B) Yoy can refer to SAP NOTE 207223, which is the Note that explains how to send an EWA to SAP. Its the exactsame process, but the destination is changed to the second Solution Manager.
    The data comes from the Satellite/managed system, but can be directed to different destinations.
    But you can't send the data from Solution Manager A to Solution Manager B.
    You can send the data to Solution Manager A & B and process the data on A and on B, or any other Solman system.

    Paul

  • Problem  in earlywatch report generation

    Dear all, i installed a solution manager 4.0 sp12 and i would like to configure EWA self service using Solman 4.0.
    I did these steps in the configuration:
    A. In the satellite systems i configured the sld, using rz70, and connect the system to the sap gateway of solman.
    B. Maintained SMSY and create the required trusted RFC connections from SM to satellite system. All connection and authorization passed in SM59. I used SAP_ALL/SDCCN_ALL role and assigned objects S_RFC*.
    C. Assigned the system to a logical system.
    D. Created the a new solution and activate "Solutions Monitoring > Earlywatch Alert"
    E. Activated and maintained required RFC in SDCCN in satallite system.
    F. I executed the rtcctool in the satellite system and all was ok.
    G:I executed the SESSION_REFRESH in the satellite system, the session finisched successfully but it did not send the data to the solution manager.
    Did I miss out any steps. Can any one share any help ?

    Hi Luca,
    do you have a red flag in transaction dswp under EWA reports? If you don't have a red flag or the sign for being scheduled for that satellite system, then you need to create it first.
    If there is a red flag you should get this text:
    Dates for this session are overdue
    The data for this session is overdue. Data has not yet been transferred from the associated satellite system.
    Go to the Service Data Control Center (transaction SDCCN) in the satellite system and check why the data has not been sent.
    Typical sources of errors are:
    The RFC connection for the SAP Solution Manager system is not working.
    The 'Task Processor' background job, which collects the session data, has been changed.
    Problems arose while data was being collected (see the detail log for the task that collects the session data).
    A periodic 'SDCC Maintenance Package' task has not been scheduled to check whether your SAP Solution Manager system requests session data.
    Session number:
    Besides the steps you have actived SDCCN in transaction SMSY under Environment? It needs to be activated from SolMan itself.

  • EWA Report not being sent for two systems

    Hi Experts,
    We are having one issue in EWA Report in solution manager. Searched hard but could not find solution.
    Our solution manager is configured to provide EWA for 4 systems- ECC, BW, PI and Solution manager itself.
    The configurations are in place to the extend that we are able to view the weekly reports in Solution manager.
    Issue is -
    1. We are able to recieve mail notification for Solution Manager and ECC but not able to get for BW and PI.
    2. The ECC report is coming ok, but Solution manager report is blank.
    The places I checked the configuration -
    1. SDCCN for all systems.
    2. SOLMAN_EWA_ADMIN - all systems active and chcked for EWA
    3. Background Jobs for all systems -Maintenance Package, Refresh Session, Earlywatch Alert for Solution Manager
    4. Background Jobs related to the task including SM:EXEC SERVICES
    Later on I deleted and rescheduled the job SM:EXEC SERVICES to make sure it covers all systems.
    Data is visible in Solution Manager but report is not being sent over mail for two systems- BW and PI.
    Solution manager report is being sent but empty.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Sabita

  • Retrive EarlyWatch Report.

    Hi experts,
    I have follow the SAP Note. 207223 -Activating the SAP EarlyWatch Report at my DEV system.
    Using the SDCC t.code I was able to see all the EarlyWatch session completed.
    To my understanding, the completed SDCC-EarlyWatch session will sent data to SAP. Then SAP will be generate a report base on the received data, and then sent it back to my SAP-OSS-Inbox.
    Is this correct? I have already running my EarlyWatch session everyday for a month. But never get any report in my inbox.
    How can I get the EarlyWatch report?
    Thank you.
    ck chai

    Hi Barry,
    Thank for your reply.
    I had just logged a message to SAP -OSS.
    So this mean we need to tell SAP to generate for us.

  • Solution Manager EarlyWatch

    Hi,
    I have a test system setup for Solution Manager 4 and we also have a ECC6 test system setup. I am trying to setup earlywatch data transfer between the 2 systems. At the moment I have EWA data being gathered for solution manager in SDCCN and it is sent to SAP and that generates a report doc, which I can access. I can also see the data it has gathered in its raw form in SDCCN corresponding to its task. The ECC6 test system also has SDCCN activated and it seems that i can gather data for that system and send it to SAP without solMan. I thought that solman was to be used to schedule weekly EWA to the satellite system to request data and send this data to SAP from solMan. I was going to schedule a task on ECC6 to send data to Solution manager by creating a RFC link to solution manager from ECC6, which it can use but can someone please clarify this as i am a bit confused. I thought all data gathering from satellite systems should be done from solMan. Also i did look at note 207223 and 763561 for SDCCN.
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Mani

    Thanks David for your replies.
    Yes the ECC 6 system is added to the solution landscape and it has a logical component assigned. In the smsy transaction it has pulled all the information from the ECC 6 system about clients and support pack info.
    So what i understand from your reply is that the EWA data is gathered by the satellite system, as per task setup in SDCCN  i.e. in ECC 6 and that is sent by the ECC6 system to solMan system. The solman system takes this data and compiles a report similar to the one available via sap marketplace or is it just raw data available in a tree drop down form?
    Also how does transaction dwsp tie into this? Everytime i run a schedule in it, it fails. Does this create a session in SDCCN on the satelittle system or is it kept in syn either way when a earlywatch alert is created?
    My understanding is that i need to run a periodic EWA alerts on the satelittle system (ECC 6), which sends session data to solman and no task needs to be setup to request data in solman.
    sorry about the questions but i really so appreciate the help and do reward points in return for help.
    Many thanks,
    Mani

  • EarlyWatch Individual Email Configuration - configure email transmission

    All,
    Is it possible to configure EarlyWatch Alerts to be received via email on an individual basis?
    We have 5 EWAs created each week for 5 different production systems. I would like to send 2 reports to one email recipient, 5 to another, 1 EWA to another recipient etc... so that I can choose which EWA is sent to who.
    At the moment, I can only see via SMSY -> Edit -> Automatic Email Transmission to be able to add a recipient and they will receive all EWAs.
    Please help?
    Regards,
    -Rohan

    Hi Rohan,
    There is a way to send individual EWA reports for systems that are part of one solution to a separate users.
    For example if you have solution called u201CXYZu201D that contains 5 systems and you want to send EWA for 1.,2. and 3. system to one e-mail address and 1.,3.,4. and 5. another email address.
    1. You need to set up automatic e-mail transmission for EWA session for all e-mail addresses that will receive EWA reports:
    Tx. DSWP -> Edit -> Automatic e-mail Transmission -> create E-mail Recipient
    2. Then you need to setup 2 things in tx. SPRO:
    2.1 Tx. SPRO -> Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Solution Monitoring/Reporting -> Sending Service Reports by Internet E-mail -> E-mail Filter (Maintenance)-> Map Systems to E-Mail Addresses
    Here you enter table name: DSWP_SYS_EMAIL and choose icon u201CCreate Entriesu201D (same thing you can do with Tx. SM30).
    Fill table with e-mail addresses and SID; for each combination specifically and save.
    2.2. Then return to SPRO and setup: Tx. SPRO -> Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Solution Monitoring/Reporting -> Sending Service Reports by Internet E-mail -> E-mail Filter (Maintenance)-> BAdi EWA E-Mail Filter
    Here you should have and activate Enhancement Implementation u201CDSWP_EWA_EMAILFILTER_BADI_IMPLu201D which sap provided for this purpose.
    To activate in this screen mark check box u201CActive(IMG)u201D and whole line and then click on button display in the bottom of the screen.
    Then choose Enhancement Implementation -> Activate (Ctrl+F3) and Save.
    Now, near Enhancement implementation field should write u201CActiveu201D, in the middle of screen in u201CRuntime Behavioru201D section u201CImplementation is activated in Customizing (IMG)u201D check box should be marked and u201CEffect in current Clientu201D should be Implementation is calledu201D
    If you set up all 3 steps properly, your future EWA reports for systems should go only to e-mail addresses as you enter in table: DSWP_SYS_EMAIL.
    Note that all e-mails must be also visible in automatic e-mail transmission (step 1.) do not delete them there.

  • What causes cellular data usage to decrease if last reset has not changed? I reset every pay period cuz I do not have unlimited and was showing 125 mb sent/1.2g received. Now showing 98mb sent/980mb received. Last reset still shows same

        I reset my cellular data usage every month at the beginning of my billing period so that I can keep track of how much data I am using thru out the month. I do not have the unlimited data plan and have gone over a few times. It's usually the last couple days of my billing cycle and I am charged $10 for an extra gig which I barely use 10% of before my usage is restarted for new billing cycle. FYI, they do not carry the remainder of the unused gig that you purchase for $10 which I disagree with. But have accepted. Lol  Moving on.
        I have two questions. One possibly being answered by the other. 1. Is cellular data used when I sync to iTunes on my home computer to load songs onto my iPhone from my iTunes library(songs that already exist)? 2. What causes the cellular data usage readings in iPhone settings/general/usage/cellular usage to decrease if my last reset has not changed? It is close to end of my billing cycle and I have been keeping close eye. Earlier today it read around 180mb sent/1.2gb received. Now it reads 90mb sent/980 mb recieved. My last reset date reads the same as before. I don't know if my sync and music management had anything to do with the decrease but i didn't notice the decrease until after I had connected to iTunes and loaded music. I should also mention that a 700mb app automatically loaded itself to my phone during the sync process. Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage? Guess turned out to be more than two questions but all related. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. It is information I find valuable. Sorry for the book long question.

    Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage?
    1) No.
    2) It does provide an estimated usage, but it's not accurate. For accurate determination, you should check the remaining/used MBs from the carrier (most of the carriers provide this service for free).

  • Help! I am making an iPhoto book and all of a sudden it will not open and I get a huge error message which is supposedly sent to Apple.  How do I access that site????

    Mac osX 10.6.8
    iBook - old version
    can not access Safari - going through Chrome
    All of a sudden my IBook would not open (100 pages and almost finished)
    Error message sent to Apple - how do I access them??????
    Thank you for any help you can give me
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
    If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened?  Did you add a page with a map?
    Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable.  In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
    It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link:  Getting rid of problem photo book

    After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"  This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

    You should still use Image Capture IMHO.  If it was my gear, that's what I would do.  No need to worry about software upgrades.

  • Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?

    We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
    We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
    Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
    Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" (  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
    However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
    The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
    (If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)

    Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
    Special Folders on IMAP
    The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
    By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
    Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
    If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
    SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
    Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
    To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
    (All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
    Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
    For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
    In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
    Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
    Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
    Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
    Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
    Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
    A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
    As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
    Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
    Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
    B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
    Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
    Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
    Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
    C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
    Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
    Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
    D): Thunderbird:
    After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
    Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
    Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
    For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
    Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none.

  • How restore aol sent mac mail from time machine?

    I am using mac mail and an imap connection to aol.  I also have a time capsule and use time machine for backing up. Yesterday I stopped receiving incoming mail in mac mail and tried deleting the aol account in mac mail and then setting it up fresh.  I was shocked to find that my 25,000 AOL sent emails did not restore! I was told by an apple genius bar rep several months ago that once mail was on my machine that the emails would NEVER be lost.  Apparently this is not true.  When I open mac mail and go into my time capsule using time machine, however, do not see the SENT mail icon under AOL--it goes away?  When I try to restore the aol mail from the day before the incident the only thing that comes up is the one Sent Mail mssg that I sent AFTER the deleting and restoring of my AOL account in mac mail. The only relevant post I have found is the one below which was posted in 2008.  Please let me know there is a way to get back my sent messages.  I can't get them directly from the aol server because the server does not save messages that are sent from any client but AOL. Thanks.

    Restoring Apple Mail and Your Emails from Time Machine
    filed under: How-To tags: mail, timemachine Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 11:31 am
    UPDATE (25 August 2010): Please note that this post is well over 2 years old and as Tim pointed out in the comments below, this method may not be the best solution for restoring emails. According to his restore efforts, changes where made to the timestamp from the date in which they were received to the date in which they were restored. I have not tested this myself.
    The hard drive on my PowerBook completely died the other day, but I luckily had been running Time Machine backups since upgrading to Leopard. (I wasn’t all that ****** off seeing as I was eager for an excuse to replace my wimpy 40Gb hard drive with a new 160Gb drive). I fumbled a bit, looking for a specific Apple Mail restore tool. I knew where all my emails lived, but I thought that Apple would have a specific means for restoring apps like Mail. So I created this mini-tutorial on how to restore Apple Mail from Time Machine simply because I could not find this method elsewhere.
    Supposedly, If you attach your Time Machine backup drive, open Apple Mail then launch the Time Machine application, you are presented with historical views of Apple Mail. This did not work for me, the historical views were just blank, so the steps below do not take this approach.
    Restoring Your Emails from a Time Machine Backup
    Warning: If you have already setup Apple Mail with your accounts and preferences, this will negate ALL your doings.
    Note: This process will restore all your email accounts, preferences, passwords, smart mailboxes, etc.
    The How-To
    Before loading Time Machine, open the Finder and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. In there will be a folder name “Mail”. Rename it to “Mail (default)” (Select the folder then hit the Return key to rename).
    Mount your Time Machine Backup Drive (ahem, plug it in).
    Control + Click the Time Machine Application and chose “Browse Other Time Machine disks…”. This, of course, brings up the historical view of your backups.
    Go back to your most recent backup (2nd window back) and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. Select the “Mail” folder and click the restore button (bottom right).
    Once the restore is completed, open Apple Mail and you will be presented with an import wizard (below). Simply follow through the prompts and you will be good to go.
    That’s it!UPDATE (20-January-2009): After step 4., also restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistThanks Jon C.
    If you have multiple mail accounts, you should also restore the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file as well. This will ensure all of your account settings are imported. – Jon C.

    I could get back my 170 000 mails in 5 hours thanks to this post, after having tried for few hours without success…Bruno

    Don't try to restore the file; restore the Note. Go in Mail to the mailbox where the note belongs. Enter Time Machine from there and step back until you find the Note.

  • My family of four (2 iPhones, 2 iPods) all share the same iTunes account.  Many text messages sent to or from mine or my husband's phones are also received on my daughter's iPod, and vice versa. How do I fix this?

    How can I keep text messages sent from my or husband's phone from being received on daughter's iPod, and vice versa? We have five devices on one iTunes account - 2 iPhones, 2 iPods and an iPad.

    Hello Hrd1977,
    This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.  I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your daughter's device.  Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.
