Where are Mail downloads kept?

Did a fresh install on a new Pro and not carry any problems forward. I can't seem to locate the "Mail Downloads" folder on ML, as I moved from 10.6.X, and it was in the user library.
I am trying to get back all the Mail attachements pre move that are no loger available. Where do I find the dowloads for mail in 6.2?
thanks for any help

The Mail Downloads folder is on ~/Library, being ~ your user folder.
OS X Lion and Mountain Lion have hidden the Library folder of your user folder because of security reasons, so to access to Mail Downloads, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Mail Downloads.
If you want to show the Library folder on Finder, open Terminal and type:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

Where are my contacts?!

This used to be real simple.....
Ok I was having a problem with my iPhone not syncing my music properly so I was advised to to a restore which I did. I did it as a new phone, not from the back up.
I now can't find any of my contacts. I thought the iPhone automatically backed up. I was backing up to my computer. I found my address book on my computer and it has one contact out of 100....sigh... I have numerous back ups of Time Machine and manual ones but I can not find a file that has the past 3 years of contacts.
Thanks for any help,
OK I was able to download all my contacts from Gmail but just want phone numbers and there are many I don't want at all. How can I edit and now back up these contacts on my Mac so I have a secure copy somewhere I know?

"Right...but a back up is a back up...it should still exist...right?"
No. Itunes generally keepos the past backup. Contacts aredesigned to be synced to your computer. I'm not sure that they are backed up at all, *** you should be syncing them to your computer.
"I have not "not" been backing up which is what confuses me....did I have to make a conscious effort to back up everything? Used to be the default?"
Backing up and syncing are not really the same. You should never have any information in only one place ( e.g. your contacts should never just be on your iphone). The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer. You would have to make these selections when you set up the iphone sync.
"Asuming I some how decided NOT to back up how would I do so now?"
Where are the contacts now? If you do not have them anywhere, then they are gone. Have you tried to restore from backup?
"Do I have to do a complete back up or can I restore bits and pieces like an address book?"
No. It is all or nothing.
"Backed up" is not accurate. Your contatcs should live on your computer and be synced with your iphone. You should also back up your entire computer regularly.

Upgraded to iOS5; where are my contacts?

I just upgraded to iOS5; where are my contacts? Everything else is there, just my contacts are totally missing -- a real disaster.

They are in whatever contact manager or cloud service you were syncing them to. What were you syncing them with and are they still there?

E61 - where are the notes kept?

Hi,
simple question: Where are notes (in *.txt format) kept on the E61? I would like to synchronize one of them with my laptop, but I couldn´t find them using the "Nokia Phone Browser" that pops up in my Explorer once I have connected via USB.
Thanks a lot!

Where are my contacts in the Backup Assistant for Droid X????

I have a Motorola Android X2. I want to edit and delete some of my contacts. I get the message that says I cannot from my phone, but have to use the backup assistant online. However, the only contacts that show up online are the contacts I've added after I got my phone. Why are my contracts that were transferred from my old phone not there? I've tried multiple syncing and still only have 9 contacts and of course, the ones I want to change or delete are old ones. I see that you can import contacts, but how do you get a file from the phone to import? Any help would be appreciated.

Did the contacts from old phone get transferred at the store? Sounds like the contacts that you are having isssues with is stored on phone or from a Facebook or Tweeter account. Maybe you can go to phone dialer and select the contact tab / menu / export to get files exported to a cvs file and then copy to pc and import into Google.

Where are Altered Photos kept?

I recently upgraded to iLife 08, and am trying to use iPhoto, having spend very little time on the previous version. I know that the subfolders are no longer accessible, so ... where are my 'altered' photos going?
If I alter a photo in PhotoShop, and save it with a new name, the file doesn't show up anywhere in Finder, nor in the iPhoto Library proper.
If I do a Spotlight search, I can find the photo file (supposedly located in the 'altered' folder in iPhoto that I don't actually have access to). However, if I click to open the file from Spotlight, it just reopens the jpeg in Photoshop.
Where do I find this new file to access it for other purposes?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If I alter a photo in PhotoShop, and save it with a new name, the file doesn't show up anywhere in Finder, nor in the iPhoto Library proper.
That's the problem. You must setup PS as the editor of choice from within iPhoto and follow these steps:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

Hi anyone who can help!
I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
1 - set it up as a new phone
2- upgrade the software
3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
Any help at all much appreciated!
simon

Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

Where are Mail e-mails, Safari bookmarks located?

My MacBook Pro was having problems (constant restarting, no desktop) yesterday so I ran Disk Utility from the Leopard Install disk. A few permissions and disk errors were repaired. I ran the utility again twice and both times no errors. But I still kept getting the constant restarts, so I did and Archive and Install. No problems this time, computer rebooted fine. However, when I open Mail all my previous e-mails are not in the account, nor are my Safari bookmarks.
This did not happen when I upgraded my four other Macs to Leopard. Is there a location where they might be found, and how do I do this?
TIA,
John

Your mail is in Library/Mail. If you go in there and delete the Envelope Index file (while Mail is not running) the next time you launch it it will offer to re-import your mail.
Your Safari bookmarks are in Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

I had my iPhone 4S stolen last week and I am going to sync it to my computer to get everything back on it.
If it is stolen , how are you going to sync it?
You mean you got a new iPhone and you want to sync it to your computer?
Plug it in.

New computer??? Or new iPhone?

I suggest you simply copy your entire User folder from old computer to new computer. This way all your data (Music, photos, contacts, emails, calendars, documents, etc.) goes across.

Where are mail attachments stored?

On my Macbook Pro all attachments are available to be opened when I'm not connected to the internet. I assumed this was true with ipad but could not open attachments on plane yesterday. So, I assume in ipad attachments are stored on server (I use mobile me) and must be opened/downloaded individually then saved in other apps like Goodreader or Pages. If this is true, is there any way to automatically store attachments like a mac does in mail downloads?

Mail attachments are stored on the server. You need to tap on the attachment to down load them to the iPad. The same holds true for a desktop or laptop computer.
If your need to view an attachment where you don't have an Internet connection it is best to open the attachment before hand when you an internet connection.
