Suddenly I've lost old emails in inbox, despite proper accountsetting. How to get them back?
TB worked fine, until today. I did not change any settings, not in TB and not at my emailserver. Still, my inbox now displays only the emails on the server; these are proper synchronised.
My inbox does not display anymore the older emails I keep in my inbox. They are not in the Bin, not deleted by me, not in Archives. How is this possible?
re: ''Still, my inbox now displays only the emails on the server; these are proper synchronised.''
As you have 'synchronised' the folder, I assume you use an IMAP mail account.
Please confirm that you use IMAP or Pop.
IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the subscribed folders that are on the server.
So if your webmail account only shows eg: 10 emails in Inbox and in Thunderbird you only see those 10 emails in the account Inbox then nothing is wrong in that they are the same.
Are you saying that the emails were deleted off the server, so that they are also deleted in thunderbird?
check: Tools > Activity manager
Does it say any anything about deleting loads of emails?
Do you know if compacting occured?
One possibility:
Your Inbox folder was corrupted and then the folder was compacted either manually or automatically.
It removed all 'marked as deleted; emails, but as the folder was corrupted, Tb could not determine where the 'marked as deleted' email ended and therefore may have deleted good emails.
If this occured then there is no way to get them back unless you had a backup of your emails.
It is advised that you keep an Inbox for incoming new mail and move good emails into suitable folders for organising and compact the folder on a regular basis.

so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back, so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back
You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea. iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer. When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs. The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company) to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast). -
Lost all pictures and video of baby! How to get them back?
My daughter plugged her iphone 4 into itunes on my computer and she accidentally hit restore and it restored her phone to my phone settings, etc. She lost all her 10 month old babies pictures and video. She is devestated. Is there any way to get them back?

When you restore an iPhone the first step is a backup of the phone. She should be able to restore that backup.
Connect the phone to the computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click "Restore backup".
If she had backed up her phone to a different computer the pictures would be in the backup on that computer. If she had turned on iCloud backup on the phone the pictures would be in the iCloud backup. If she had enabled Photo Stream on the iPhone the images would be in Photo Stream. If she had transferred the photos and video to her computer as you would with any digital camera by connecting the phone to a computer and importing the images and video they would be on that computer. If she did none of these things and there is a problem with the backup that was made automatically when she did the Restore then they are lost. -
I have an iPAD2 and an iPAD mini and tried to upgrade to IOS 7.0.6 but both froze and I had to restore to factory setting (backup also did not work!). I was able to get most of my purchased books and apps from iTUNES (through my computer) but lost all magazine subscriptions. iTUNES is asking me to pay for them again. Has anyone else had a similar problem and do you know how to restore the subscriptions without paying for them again?
Thank you!Thanks for the feedback. The applications were there but the magazines themselves could not be downloaded without paying... What I had to do was go in the application and find the "restore purchases" button. It was hidden within the account settings but it solved the problem!

I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages. I recently signed into iCloud for the first time. Any idea how to get the notes back? I really dont want to lose them.
It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes) -
I've lost access to all my backups on my time capsule (18mnths.)I believe they are still on the capsule (97g)...any Ideas on how to get them back?
Thanks for the info.
Your "profile" is the information in your original post that tells us that you are using OS X (10.6.8).
We will assume that you are using OS X (10.6.8). If you are not sure what OS X you are using.....
Click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen
Click About This Mac
Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there
In the meantime, please right-click on the Time Machine clock icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen and then click Browse Other Time Machine Disks. Select the other disk if it appears. See if your old backups are there. -
I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games. Is there a way to get them back?
Restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

My computer was hacked using a softbank pocket wifi, I had to install an earlier version of the disc provided for my mac reset my user password and I still need to recover my administrator password that was altered.

Thank you for your help.

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html -

I have set up folders on iCloud to file my mail but notice that some of the emails are missing when I've transferred them. Can anyone tell me where they are and how to get them back please?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I downloaded IOS5 but lost my calendar entries. Is there a way to get them back?
I downloaded IOS5 on my iphone 4 but lost my calendar entries. Is there a way to get them back? I did back up info on my Mac.
Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.
