Retrieving email/files from iCloud and TM?

hello,
this may seem like an obvious question but i've had to go back and try to find some older emails. i've always backed up manually to an external drive. when TM came out i backed that up periodically-- the issue with that is just now when i went 'back in time' all my emails were REALLY OLD ones; newer ones never got added!
so i haven't really used iCloud other than using it on my phone/mac to use iCal and photos.
how do i go back and retrieve older icloud backups, and more specifically how do i restore an OLD email i'm looking for?
as well, how often does icloud back me up (without me knowing or prompting me etc?) is it on the fly daily?

hi,
so, it's more as a way for our data/music/photos to talk across various devices? i was under the impression i had 5 free gigs as a kind of holding tank,and that it would backup when i open the cloud in my preferences? no? so i can't go find my regular (gmail/att) sent emails? i don't use my icloud email address
then the whole TM issue-- i'm late to the game, but i've been doing backups to my external-- then to go into my 'library/mail' folder, every email is no newere than 2000! that's crazy! is there a way for me to go into some kind of icloud preference/settings thing and make sure it's backing up everything i need?
thanks

As I said, iCloud does not backup anything, especially other vendors email accounts (as they are not in iCloud it has no access to them)
For the GMail account go to the GMail website and search in the All Mail folder. If it was an ATT email good luck with ever getting it back. You will need to talk to ATT tech support, I hope you are young
Post a new thread in the Time Machine forum and describe as much as you can the Time Machine issue you are having, this forum won't be very helpful with a TM issue.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

    Did you restore your iCloud backup?  That should recover camera roll photos.

  • How to retrieve xml file from BLOB and display on browser with css/xslt

    Hi All,
    I am new to xml. I am storing my xml file into BLOB in database. Now in my jsp page I want to retrieve this xml file from BLOB and display in HTML/CSS/XSLT form...
    Pl. guide me.. any docs..?? Logic...??
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sandeep Oza

    Hello Sandeep!
    I'm not familiar with jsp but logic should be as follows:
    -in jsp page instantiate XML parser
    -load specified BLOB into parser
    Now you may traverse the XML tree or you might load XSL file and use transform method to transform XML according to XSL file.
    I have an example where I'm selecting XML straight from relational database and then transform it using XSL into appropriate HTML output, but it's written in PSP.
    You can try http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp for basics on XML, CSS, XSL. It's easy to follow with good examples.

  • I'm receiving duplicate emails, one from icloud and one from yahoo

    I'm receiving duplicate emails, one from icoud and one from my yahoo, how do I fix this?

    Have you turned on a forwarding or copying service at yahoo?  The only way to get duplicate emails from two different email services is if one of them forwards and copies to another, or if senders are sending to both email addresses.

  • How do I email files from icloud drive on an iPhone?

    I have few PDF files saved on icloud drive through my mac. I want to access those files on my iPhone and email them to others. How do i do that?
    Presently I am using google drive and it allows me to email my files from google drive on an iphone.

    This happens to me quite often on my iPhone5, and my iPad. I find it the most helpful to go under settings and reset to factory everything. SEtting> general> erase all content and settings.
    Please make sure you do a back up before you do this!!!!!
    You'll be basically wiping the phone clean and when the phone resets, reset from back up.
    I've also found that when I go under voicemail and view deleted voicemails to delete all of them. Delete text messages that you no longer need to keep. Hope this helps.

  • How do I retrieve my files from iCloud Drive?

    I am on Mountain Lion because my mid-2007 can't upgrade to Mavericks. Apple upgraded the iWork Apps so that they only work in the new iCloud Drive, but the new iCloud drive is only available if you are in Mavericks or later - an older version for Mavericks and a newer version for Yosemite. It seems that I have lost access to all my files overnight.

    Why can't you upgrade? All Mountain lion Macs are compatible for upgrade to Mavericks or Yosemite (By the way, iCloud Drive is a Yosemite only feature).

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • OSB: Retrieving file from disk and sending it via MTOM

    Hi,
    I'm trying to retrieve binary file from OSB local disk and than send it via MTOM.
    I've created a JCA synchronized reading file adapter. I've unchecked the "native message" option to disable schema translation. The files content seems getting picked up into <wsdl:part name="opaque" element="opaque:opaqueElement" />. I don't like the fact that it is encoded in base64. How to disable base64 decoding?
    I've tried to set the "native message" to some binary element, like <xs:element name="Attachment" type="xs:base64Binary" />. Then I get the "Schema translation failed" exception every time. What my native message should be to pick up a straight forward binary file?
    Can you guide me please how to create a file OSB transport service that would be able to read files?
    Also, if I obtain the file's content, how do I send it from proxy to proxy as a mtom? All of my proxy chains have enabled MTOM and pass binary as reference, but when I look up the messages transmitted, the opaque element seems to contain straigth forward base64 content, not binary reference.
    I would appreciate any help regarding any of this topics.

    Hi Veronica,
    there is absolutely nothing in my $body variableI did a quick test, the reference for the binary content goes to the $body variable...
    Service type = Messaging Service ... Transport = file
    Content of body after picking up a bmp image...
    <soapenv:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <con:binary-content ref="cid:-63889258:138079cb851:-7d8e" xmlns:con="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context"/>
    </soapenv:Body>

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Can I store and email files from my iphone? Is there an app?

    Hi,
    Sorry you've heard this all before. I'm new to apple discussions. I've seen apps that let you transfer files, but how do I email files from my iphone?
    Thanks

    You cannot officially store emails on the phone other than photo's which come in via iTunes and attachments to emails. There is no disk mode on the iPhone.
    If you want to store files on the phone you can use something like DropBox App which will let you if you have an internet connection.

    Do you mean Entourage? It appears you have Office 2004 or older. Those are PowerPC apps only and will not run in Lion or later. If you need access to those emails like, "RIGHT NOW!", then I would suggest purchasing Office 2011 for Mac. Outlook is the new Office email client in 2011 and can import your older Entourage data.
