Reinstalled OSX where are my old saved emails?

Hello,
I've successfully reinstalled OSX. I imported my old mailboxes but they do not contain my saved emails in them. Where may I find them? Perhaps I impoted the boxes incorrectly?
Thanks!
yojames

Not sure what you mean. The imported mailboxes appear as subfolders of Inbox? They should appear within an Import folder below Inbox...
Did you choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format?
Can you still see the (empty) imported mailboxes in Mail after quitting Mail and opening it again? Can you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail?

Retrieve old saved emails after reinstalling OS X

Happy New Year all!
I have recently reinstalled OS X 10.3.9 after some problems.
I believed that I backed up everything but cannot find my old saved emails.
Where should I look to copy my old emails into my new boxes?
Thanks!

Thanks so much for your prompt response!!!!!
Is my GIZMO! OVERDRIVE (some call it the 'thumb drive') the USB stick you mentioned? I did use that to import/drag over the files and named the one folder that has them all in it: "mailboxes".....but when I try to open it, all the files are there but they all show up as empty icons and if I click on them (on this new laptop Pro Book), I get message that there's no default application to open them and asks me to choose an application. Wondering if all the files are there but that they will not appear until they go into the right place, using the process you describe. Wanted to check all of that before I try anything. Thanks again!

This is a tricky one as Apple changed the format of
Mail messages between 10.3 and 10.4. The original
format for Mail was UNIX MBOX but when people
upgraded to Tiger they were changed to single files
for SpotLight compatibility.
However the good news is that the new Mail can import
the old format so you need to somehow get your old
folder from the G4 (found in the location above -
drag the account name folder over), easiest with a
USB stick, on to the new machine.
Open Mail on Tiger and go to File, Import Mailboxes
and select (this is important) Other, then select
your old account folder to import the files. You may
have to select the actual Inbox.mbox for this to work
The Address Book files are in
<username>/Library/Application Support in a folder
called AddressBook - if you drag it to the same place
on the new machine it should be recognized and used.
Hope that helps!

Where are my photos saved, how to archive photos

Hello,
currently I had imported photos from a camera to my MAC by using iPhoto import and event functionality. Now I would like to backup my photos by using rsync. But I can not find my photos as files on the disk.
Where are my photos saved?
I am a new MAC user with some expirience in Unix qnd Linux.
Thank you in advance
Bernhard

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Where are the files saved that someone sends you via Skype Windows8

Hi, I just bought a new computer that has windows 8 installed on it and I must say that I was chocked when I realised that the system is like running a pad wich is so bad if you are looking to actually work with the computer. Then I installed skype and was astounded that there is nothing that you can do with it. No video call?I use skype to send files and do video calls. Now when someone sends me a file I have no choice of where that file is saved... Where are the files saved? OS: Windows 8 Thank you

Where are power options saved in the Windows registry?

The problem is that a customer IT department did something wrong during deploying GP preferences. Now nothing is working and we have to delete all settings, that the new GP preferences I newly created will work.
Now GP preferences is not working on 300 clients. I don't know what they have done. If we reinstall the clients, GP preferences (power settings) are working fine. They have only used GP preferences for power settings. No other changes before the problem started.
My senior manager told me to delete power options / settings in the Windows registry. So I can delete this?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}

Hi

Where are the files saved after successfully using the Migration Assistant from PC to a Mac?

I just used the Migration Assistant from PC to Mac but I can't find where the files were saved? I thought the process was supposed to create a new user account...Why can't I see it on the login screen?
Please help ! I've formatted my PC so I wanna make sure that my files are not lost

Where are adobe settings saved?

Hi,
I'm trying to automate a change to adobe acrobat pro 8 when saving TIF files I want to be able to enter a setting without opening a PDF and doing all the setting from inside adobe. So I'm wondering where are all the settings saved? I have tried to use process monitor and a couple other programs to capture saving/changing of the settings. I have found that it isn't in the registry or any of the personal document settings on the computer. It doesn't seem like a personal setting but for all of adobe. So anyone have any ideas how to edit the settings without opening adobe since I'm trying to set using auto-deployment and don't want to have to manual set these.
Thanks

Hi,
After those settings are set though any time I want to save a TIF they are there. So it seems like they are saved some where. Yeah, I was thinking about getting an application to mimic the options of opening the application and doing the above steps but I would like to find where these settings are to make it simpler for me and others that might want to make it an easy process instead of opening adobe and doing all those steps.
Thanks.

My photostream photos dissapeared - only the last 1000 show...where are my old photos???

Hi,
i am totally confused and frustrated with iCloud.
i had many many photos on my Photostream and am removing all i can from my iphone (after synchroniszing on the cloud) as i run often out of space on the phone. whatever happened, all of a sudden, i can only see the last 1000 images on my Photostream - all of the others are GONE! i havent touched nor deleted anything. on the contrary, i even upgraded my storage to 55GB to be sure i have enough space (iphone reports free 38 GB on my iCloud space). I cant find my older Photostream photos any more neither when connecting from my iphone, nor from my iPhoto and aparently they are nowhere to be found on my iCloud. WHERE are my photos??!!! it will be a huge disaster if i lost them and not sure how to start understanding paying for a reliable cloud and loosing it all? anyone any idea???

First of all, photo stream storage is separate from regular icloud storage, so buying more space is not necessary.
When you take a photo on a device that has photo stream turned on, that photo is added to the local photo stream group and uploads to icloud's servers, which then download the pics to other devices where they are also stored in their photo stream group. After 30 days, the photo is deleted from the server, but not the devices. (No more than 1000 pics are accepted, after which old ones are delete to make room for new ones.)
If, however, you turn off photo stream on one device, the photos in the photo stream group will be deleted. If you later turn it back on, then only photos on the server will download to the group. Pictures that were deleted from the server due to the 30 day rule will no longer be available.
It is advised that whenever you have photos appearing in the photo stream group, you move them to a permanent album if you wish to save them.
In short, photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device/computer to another - never treat it as some kind of permanent storage service; it isn't.

Where are my old events in Cal?

I can no longer see my old events from 2010 and 2011 in iCal? Where are they? I have not deleted them. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Mary. Another Forum mentions some problems about iCal not deleting events and relating this to a possible glitch in 10.5.5. I wonder then whether my problem is yet another glitch.

How/Where are Financial Reports Saved on the File System of the Server?

We've recently lost a large chunk of our reports on our server. We can't figure out which directory location to restore in order to get those reports back. Where is the default directory for 11.1.2.2 Financial Reports? And in what format are those reports saved?

The FR reports themselves are found in the Operating System (O/S) file system, but the EPM Workspace heirarchy (folders, tree, etc) are stored in the Hyperion BI+ repository database.
On the O/S file system, the reports are stored in RM1 folder under "C:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\ReportingAnalysis\data\RM1\root" folder.
The names of the reports located here are UUID (long identifiers - not the actual names).
For example:
        when a report is created with the name"My report" in the Financial Reporting Studio, when logging into EPM Workspace it will be accessible within Financial Reports/folder name where it was saved.
        the actual report will be stored in a sub-folder of the RM1\root folder on file system.
            The name of the file will be a unique identifier (not the actual name of the report i.e. "My report")
            It will be generated "on the fly" based on various things such as the current date and time on the server (i.e 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
The meta-data for that report ("My report", that is in the folder in Workspace, the modification date of the report, the permissions on that report, etc.) will be stored in the Hyperion BI+ DB as an object in an encrypted table. Financial Reporting knows what meta-data is in the Hyperion BI+ DB that matches the report, in the "RM1\root" folder because all the rows in the table for this object in the Hyperion BI+ DB that are related to "My report" will be referenced using the UUID of the file (e.g. 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
Note: The location of RM1 folder differs with each installations' operating system.

Where are my old apps? Not on new phone.

I tried transferring my 4s to my 5s with icloud and didn't move 90% of my apps. I tried it again backing up to the computer from 4s then restoring from computer to 5s, again 90% are missing, only the same few apps moved over besides the new ones that came with 5s. Now if I look at either phone in itunes, all my apps are pictured on the right side (under apps) but nothing is listed on the left side where they all used to be listed. Same with the 5s, the few apps are listed on the right side but there is nothing listed under Apps on the left side.
Where are all the apps I bought--practically all where bought from the Apple app store. How can I get them and put them on my 5s? Is it because they aren't 64bit? I thought the 5s could handle both. I really need these apps.
Help!

Thanks Steve for that quick response! From other unrelated comments I've read, Apple never helps with password problems, always says, "We don't keep your passwords, so there's no way we can help you with passwords." But since this is actually more related to PURCHASED-apps not appearing in iTunes, then maybe they would have a more helpful attitude regarding that.
However, the joke is on me, as I think I was taking gail-from-maine's sentence too literally where she wrote, "
Sign into iTunes with the Apple ID that you purchased the apps with." She probably meant different family members might have different IDs/different phones, so make sure you're using the correct one for whichever phone.
Because I went ahead & used my CURRENT ID/PIN, & followed her directions so far, & yes, whew!, there are 222 apps showing in iTunes. However, they ALL show the little cloud on them, which gail said means they are NOT on the Mac. But they ARE on the Mac, under User > Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications. So I'm cornfused.
I also notice that some of the apps (in the long list under Mobile Applications/Mac) show a "Creation Date" of 12/31/69 (!!) so I don't know how/why it says that as my clock/time/date is correct/current. Might that be causing a problem? There appears to be no way to change that "Creation Date" in "Get Info."
Another question, what happened to the way you could move/re-arrange the location of the apps in iTunes according to screen/pages on the phone? (with OSX Lion & iTunes 11.1.5, it simply shows all the apps in iTunes in 27 rows of 8 apps each row, but I see no way -- YET -- to rearrange them by different phone-screens/locations, the way it used to show them in older iTunes & you could move them around to where you wanted them to show up on your phone).
FWIW, I did try doing as gail-from-maine said, "Click on them [in iTunes] to download them [the ones with the clouds on them] to the Mac," (in the lower right of the iTunes page, it has the option/button to "Download ALL"), but it didn't do anything, just a quick blink like flutter/action on iTunes page & no indication that anything was downloading.
I'd rather have the copies that are already on the Mac under Mobile Applications put on the phone, since they are the ones with CONTENT in them through the last backup, right? (I don't even know if the 222 apps showing in iTunes actually have any CONTENT in them???)
As you can tell, I'm not an experienced iTunes user, never cared for that software much.

Where are pictures downloaded from email

Where are my downloads on my iPad air, especially downloaded docs and pictures fro yahoo mail? Thanks.

Tapping on a photo in an email should give you the option to "Save Photo" or, if there are more than one to save them all. Accepting that will copy the photo or photos to your Camera Roll and you can view and edit them in the Camera app.
Tapping on a different type of document should allow you to view the contents of that document. Tapping on it again should bring up a choice to "Open In..." and provide a list of apps on your iPad that will accommodate the type of document in question. So if you receive a Word doc Open In should bring up a list of all apps on your iPad that will open Word docs. I use the Pages app for those.
For PDFs I use iBooks.
For Spreadsheets I use the Numbers app.

LR4 Maps where are my locations saved

Working on lightroom on both my laptop and dektop. I use an external drive for my pictures and my LR4 catalog. All works fine except in map mode saved location (my locations) does not seem to be stored in the catalog. Where are they stored and can they travel on my hard drive?

Right, "My Locations" is a preset. You can store your presets with your catalog for use with multiple computers.
Storing Presets and Templates with a Catalog
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2011/05/lr3-storing-presets-and-templates-with-a-catalog.html
One note about this option, it changes how Lightroom behaves, telling it to look at a different location on you computer for your presets. It does not move your existing presets to that new location. So if you enable this preference setting, all of your presets will seem to disappear. You just need to move them to the new location that Lightroom is looking at.

Snow Leopard Automator - where are the files saved?

Hi,
I've been trying to run some Automator apps I have. In Tiger, the files would be saved in the same directory as the original files, but in Snow Leopard I can't find them anywhere. I'm having trouble with Spotlight (in another post), so I can't search for the files as I would normally do.
Any ideas where Automator might be saving these files? Same behaviour when I create a new app as well, can't find the files...
Thanks

I think I just found them myself: in your user's Library > Workflows > Applications
