Restoring email from an iOS device

Hello Folks!
Recently a good friend's account was hacked... needless to say they've finally turned on two factor authentication.  Here's what's I'd like to confirm, they have several devices syncing with iCloud. One of those devices is an iPad mini, which at the time of the hack, where all the addresses in the address book and current at the time mails where deleted, was turned off, and had no battery left meaning it was dead.  The iPad has now been backed up to a different computer. We can see a lot of the original emails on the device that had not been deleted from when the hack occurred.
When we finally log this device in will it merge or ask us to merge all the emails on the iPad and place them in iCloud, or will they be overwritten since iCloud doesn't think they exist anymore?
Appreciate your input and suggestions on this one, simply because if we log in and they are overwritten they're gone...
THX
Mr. "P"

Just as an update, after moving all the mail on the iPad and sync... no messages were moved anywhere and only remain on the iPad.  Will up thread if more progress is had.
thanks Glen for walking with me on this one.

  • How to read my iCloud email from another IOS device that belongs to someone else?

    The other day I had to check my @me email on my brother's iPad.  When I typed icloud.com in the Safari app all I got was a "how to setup icloud".  I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up my email account on his iPad just to check my email once on his device. Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thank you!

    Theres a way you can do it ... But sadly, your brother should have a 3rd party browser installed ... I suggest iCab mobile browser ... Its only $2 and the amount of things yu can do with it is endless .. So here are the steps to follow to access ur @me account on ur brothers ipad ..
    1. Install iCab Mobile Browser
    2.  Go to settings with in the app (top-right corner theres a gear icon)
    3. Once your in settings scroll down and select Browser ID , then select Firefox 4.0(Windows).
    The above step makes icloud.com see as if yu were logging in from a windows PC ..
    4. Icloud.com will open and allow yu to sign in .. So now yu can have access to ur mail and notes and find my iphone and etc ..
    Works 100% , try it and let me know ... Other things yu can do with icab mobile browser are : download videos , files , upload photos to facebook and much much more ..

  • Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

    iPhone 4s 16GB running iOS 7.1.2. Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

    Hi ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
         Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
    Have a great day,

  • Can I restore my iTunes library file (iTunes Library.itl) from my iOS device?

    After upgrading iTunes to 12.1.1.4 (around 2/25/2015), my library has reverted to a version from 12/28/2013.
    None of the "Previous iTunes Libraries" or .tmp files are newer than the 12/28/2013 version.
    All of the media files are perfectly fine and in their normal location.
    Can I restore my "iTunes Library.itl" file from my iOS device?

    I suspect you have been attempting to access the previous libraries in a way which always shows you the same content. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for advice.
    Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can import any missing media from the media folder into the library. There are some scripts mentioned towards the end of the recovery tools section that can rebuild ratings, play counts and playlists.

    then import pics to computer

    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • I'm having a real hard time retrieving my emails from my old device

    I've switched to a 5s from a 4s I'm having a hard time reciveing my old and new emails and had to manually download all apps ,my contacts went through just fine I'm not reciveing any email? Can anybody help?

    Do you have the email accounts created on the new device. You will not get old email from the old devices on the new device, unless they are IMAP or Exchange accounts. Email downloaded to a device are on the local device and are not part of the backup or sync. If you are having issues getting new mail, that is a completely different issue.
    Not sure exactly what you did in the activation of this new device, but it sounds like you may have set it up as new and are trying to sync data back from iTunes? Is that correct?

  • Why am I missing music when I view shared libraries from my iOS device? Content is in tact on windows PC andbonapplevTV but not in iPad or iPhone shared libraries...

    Running latest iTunes 11.something on Windows 7. Music is located on a network drive. All music is accessible through iTunes on my PC and on Apple TV but when I switch to shared libraries on iPad or iPhone, only music that exists in iTunes playlists appear. Im sharing all of my music but it doesn't seem to be working. Can somebody help?

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?

    My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?  Anyone else having these issues?

    There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
    If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

  • HT204291 Is the Apple TV (Gen 1) no longer supporting Airplay from an IOS device (iPhone 4S)?

    Is the Apple TV (Gen 1) no longer supporting Airplay from an IOS device (iPhone 4S)?

    It's actually iOS - I used to be able to use audio Airtunes on the original iPhone, but the AppleTV doesnot list on most of my newer devices in the Apple iPod/Music app.
    Apple have deliberately omitted it for some reason while still supporting old Airport Express units.
    The only workaround is to use Apple's Remote app to control iTunes on a computer and use the Speaker option there.

  • TS1702 This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.

    How do you remove an app from your iPad? I have synced the iPad and attempted to remove and this is the messgae I receive:
    This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.
    HELP! Get rid of these Doodle Gods, Kick the Buddy, etc....

    As Jim states, that procedure deletes the app and its associated documents from the device itself. At next sync, the deletion should propagate and get rid of the backup on iTunes as well.
    If not, you can also manually delete that backup. Go into iTunes on the computer you sync the iPad with. If needed, select Show Sidebar in the View menu. Choose Apps under Library in the sidebar. Click on the All tab in the middle of the window. Scroll about till you locate the offending app amongst the bunch of icons. Right-click or Control-click on it and choose Delete from the popup menu. If the app is gone already on the device, there should be no warnings.  You should delete from the device first and sync, so this manual step becomes unnecessary.

  • Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

    I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
    I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
    Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

    Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
    When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.
