Where and how do I save data before reinstall original software?

My mail program is corrupt and I want to reinstall the software.  How do I make sure my data is saved somewhere?
If I want to reinstall the whole original software, is the saving of data difficult?

In Disk Utility>Security options>Zero out data
Boot from the install disk > select language > DON'T select Continue > instead go to Disk Utility in the MenuBar at top.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24002
Don't know if this would help, but for the Mail issue, you could try "Rebuild" in Mailbox from Menu > (select the mailbox) > Rebuild
The AW problem might or might not be related to corruption from the bad blocks that weren't mapped out by zeroing out, or the data that was already corrupted earlier from those bad blocks. After you zero out, you could try re-installing AW. Realize, zeroing out will wipe your drive. If you do this, be ready to re-install everything.
Look over what Limnos wrote earlier. Zeroing and re-installing, clean as much as possible may prove to be the real solution.
Maybe the original damage was only minor, so, before you do this, you could first try repairing the drive (from Disc Utility booted from the disc, "Repair Disc.") Then, if everything is successful, when you are _booted back normally_, repair Permissions. Don't repair them booted from the disc. This might or might not resolve the problem with AW and Mail. At least, if these are the only issues you are experiencing, give this a try before taking the drastic step of a clean install, which involves a lot of work. You can always do this later if you keep uncovering new issues.
See how this goes first and post back with the results. If you take the zero out path, I think you will need to re-format the drive.
EDIT one more thing. You definitely don't want to zero the drive until you have some kind of clone/backup from which to move everything back, or you will lose all your data: mail, documents, music, etc.

  • Where and how do you save 'recorded' files on iPad?

    Hello,
    I don't have iTunes (only on iPad), or computer, so anything to do with sync or similar is not an option.
    I will need to put files from my recording player (a separate dictaphone device) (which is can connect to iPad through camera connection kit) onto iPad. Where and how do I need to save it, so it does not mix with music files?
    Also, as a separate question- where do i save music on my iPad that I buy online? e.g. napster.co.uk
    P.S. I have those questions because the book I'm learning about iPad, is only talking about iTunes etc, and so the files are automatically downloaded and stored  where it has to be stored.
    Thank you for your help.

    only way to get files to the ipad is using itunes / app store
    and in limited ways using a computer
    believe with only an ipad your only source for music is itunes and other music providers who make an app in app store to handle it would think a company like amazon would have a player not sure about napster didn't even think they were really around anymore

  • Time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?

    time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?

    I'm on Mountain Lion and have version 6.1 of AirPort utility so there is no button to "Disconnect All Users"and the only other option of "removing and re-selecting the drive via Time Machine Prefs" doesn't work either. So this will work.
    Launch Airport Utility and select the TC "Edit" button, then select the Disks tab. Deselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". The TC will reboot then follow the same procedure and reselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". After TC reboots again you'll be up and running. Not the neatest way to do it but saves having to unplug the TC which risks disk damage and the whole procedure takes less than a minute.The "Enable File Sharing" button seems to have replaced the "Disconnect All Users" button but with the slight disadvantage that it reboots the TC which takes up additional time.

  • How can I make a waveform graph store the entire wave, not just the current time period and how can I save the actual graph?

    I am taking temp readings with a 4 channel DAQ, sending them to a waveform graph and exporting the data to excel, how do I manipulate the graph to take a continuous reading as opposed to losing the previous GUI and how can I save the entire graph?
    Using LabVIEW 2011 operating on Windows 7 professional. 

    That is the nature of the chart -- everything not in the history is lost (it is a FIFO buffer of length=1024 samples by default).
    The scroll bar is probably grayed out because you're show all of the data.
    Attached is a program that will add 5 random points to a graph and prompt you for a file location where to save a JPG snapshot of the graph.  It's not particularly good programming style, but it has all of the elements/concepts you're after.

  • Hi , I live in Pakistan , please tell me that from where and how can I buy original iPhone 5 ?

    Hi , I live in Pakistan , please tell me that from where and how can I buy original iPhone 5 ?

    There are multiple reasons why the update failed, unless you can provide an error message/code that came up then nodbody will know.
    Now your iPhone is in recovery mode and will now need to be connected to a computer with iTunes and restored to factory settings. This will install the update at the same time.
    If you have a back up of the iPhone before the issue occurred then after the restore to fqactory settings you can restore the back up to the iPhone. If there was no back up then I'm sorry your data is gone.

  • How do I save the addresses in a sent email as a Thunderbird list and how do I save a Thunderbird list in E

    I just sent an email to to 50 people and would like to save those email addresses as a list in Thunderbird.
    How do I do that?
    And how do I save an address List in Thunderbird in an Excel spreadsheet? (I can do the reverse -- copy a column from Excel into a New List and it will create a List.)
    I am involved in a nonprofit and these issues are very important in terms of managing email mailings, etc.

    I need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X to Mountain Lion.....Thanx....Jay

    First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
    This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
    Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
    Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
    Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    OH and to be safe BEFORE you install backup your current system to an external drive !

    So, I am using net beans IDE 6.1 from sun microsystem. It is a free software.No, you don't drag'n'drop if you're new to JSF. Switch to source code mode. Write code manually, with the help of IDE for the speed up.
    So, please guide me the reference books, articles. I need the basic understanding of JSF, net beans IDE.[JSF: The Complete Reference|http://www.amazon.com/JavaServer-Faces-Complete-Reference/dp/0072262400] is a good book. The [JSF specification document|http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr252/index.html] is also a good reading to understand what JSF is and how it works. There are also javadocs and tlddocs of Sun JSF Mojarra.

    Debug Program scheduled Background
    Re: Debugging Report which is scheduled in background
    3 types update,normal and system debugging
    check this for update debugging
    If you set "Update Debbugging" you can debug the codes which works in update tusk.
    SAP std often runs the routine (function or form) to update the database in update tusk mode, these routine start as soon as a commit work is done.
    The commit is called at the end of the program, so you can't debug them by "normal debbugging" because it ends as soon as the program ends
    or----
    All the database updates are performed by the update work processes by calling the functions/subroutines in update tasks.
    These tasks are executed after a commit work is reached in the application. By default you cannot debug these functions.
    TO debug these u need to explicitly activate update debugging.
    for system debugging check the below link

    http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/sapab002.htm
    System Debugging
    If you set this option, the Debugger is also activated for system programs (programs with status S in their program attributes). When you save breakpoints, the System Debugging setting is also saved.
    Update Debugging
    Update function modules do not run in the same user session as the program that is currently running in the ABAP Debugger. These function modules are therefore not included in debugging. Only if you select the Update Debugging option can you display and debug them after the COMMIT WORK.
    Normal Debugging
    Normal debugging is the one we do it by the normal dynamic break points or by /H or by using stattic break points.
    You can switch to diffferent debuggin modes while processing.
    BREAKPOINT
    In the source code we set the Break-point there by clicking the stop button, the system will stop there when you execute the program.
    Watchpoint
    For watchpoints, we need to give some condition and when this condition is satisfied, program will stop
    example : if you want to debug only
    for matnr value 100 than set watch point
    matnr = 100. when value reaches 100 than
    program stops at that point.

  • Where and how do i get iOS 5

    where and how do i get iOS 5

    10 Easy Steps to a New iOS
    iOS 5 is techincally the last update you need to perfom on your computer. Really, there is not need to plug your iOS device back into the computer considering everything is made wireless in the "wired" update. One more thing you should know, iOS 5 is only compatible with iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S; iPad and iPad 2; and iPod Touch 3rd and 4th Generation. now lets get down to things.
    1. Plug your iOS device into your PC or Mac and open iTunes
    2. Click your device's name.
    3. Click "Update"
    4. The lower your current iOS is, the longer the download will take. Also, do not be afraid when it said it is factory resetting your device, it made a backup
    5. Wait for download to finish
    6. When told you may diconnect, disconnect and follow the simple instructions on you device's screen (it looks like a grey lock screen withmulptiple languages saying welcome)
    7. Don't get scared when you see that your music, videos, and apps are missing
    8. To get your music and vidoes back, open the iTunes app and go to the purchased section and redownload your media. If you want the music from your CDs, you need to plug your device into your computer and add them on your device the old-fashioned way.
    9. To get your apps back (with all their data) enter the app store app and press updates and then press purchased. The apps you see there should look familiar. Simply press the little iCloud button next to the apps you want to redownload and they will be back where they belong with all their data! you just have to remember where you placed them.
    10. Enjoy! Your device may be a little laggy and loading screens may take a little longer if you are not using an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, but you will have all of the features you saw at the press conference such as iMessage, Reminders, Newsstand, iCloud, and best of all, wireless updates! That means you never have to go through this again when the next update comes.
    Have fun
