• I format an ijnternal HARD drive and reinstalled the OS, now I need a .pst file that has been no backup

  I format windows XP and create the new partition on the HARD drive, then I reinstlled OS, but user not taken backup of .pst files, so now he asked because it is so it is possible to recover the .pst file from the HARD drive.

  Hello Jacqueline.

  You can probably recover some data if you do not have a full format. Search for recovery software after formatting or try a demo of databack link: http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm

  Make sure that you do not make new files or download / copy anything on the hard drive to reduce the chances of the excessive write current .pst file.

• OE6 compacting emails, three months have disappeared. How to open the archive.pst file?

  Using Windows XP and OE6. I want to open the folder to archive and get the messages back to my Inbox.

  Not use Outlook Express dbx, pst files.
   
   
  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
   
  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
  Recovery methods:
   
  If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
   
  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
   
  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
   
  In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
   
  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
   
  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
   
  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
   
  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
   
  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
   
  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
   
  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
   
  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
   
  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
   
  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
   
  And backup often.

• How do I import saved in Windows Mail Outlook pst file?

  I saved my Outlook e-mail in a PST on a hard drive external.  Now I want to restore that saved email on another computer that uses windows mail.  I tried to use the "import" feature, but it does not give me a PST in option.

  Hello

  Windows Mail is unable to import a .pst file if Outlook is installed on the Vista computer. You can install Outlook, copy the PST on the Vista computer, open the .pst with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.

  Here are a few links that tells you how you can import a .pst in Windows Mail.

• Directory paths for transferred my .pst files from Outlook of old Vista computer to a new Windows 7 computer

  I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 pre-loaded.  I would like to copy the Outlook .pst files containing all my Contacts, Emails (in and out) calendar items, tasks, etc. from my old computer (running Windows Vista) on my new computer.  My version of Outlook is 2007.  What I want to know is the plan of the book to find the files on the old computer, and then the directory map to find out where to stick them on my new computer, so that they appear automatically.  Can you give me the directry channels please?

  The best way to find the location is by going into Control Panel--> Mail, click data files and display the path to the .pst file.

• Robocopy hangs when you try to copy a file which in use

  Hello

  I find that Robocopy hangs when you try to copy the file using, for example an Outlook .pst file. The behavior of Vista was not to copy the file according to the retry and wait switches from command line, which allowed the backup race move to the next file and finally finish. With Windows 7 the Robocopy session is suspended and resumes ever, even if the file she is trying to copy is closed.

  Is this behavior under Robocopy in Windows 7? Is it possible to get Robocopy to move to the file according to when he's trying to copy a file that is in use?

  Thank you

  Jason.

  "There is no need of me a pause in my script"-Yes, I understand [and should have done before].

  I just tested a network for the first time operation.  It hangs forever as your done even after I closed Outlook & waited for the w: 30 I put.  {I also ran with closed Outlook the first time just to make sure that the network itself had no problems}

  I read that you have provided the link.  This suggests that there is no solution.

  - - - - - - -

  You seem to be doing a lot more & probably more structured than mine operation, this workaround might not be of any use to you.  The other open files issue concerns a simple hourly backup of my kernel files that includes pst files.

  1 I xcopy all the files in a folder internal InterimBackup first.  Can I use XCopy or RoboCopy to send InterimBackup to the real destination.

  2 If Outlook is open then it will copy on InterimBackup and, if the previous Outlook.pst is still in InterimBackup she gets deleted by the attempt of xcopy.  [conclusion - XCopy verifies the existence of the replacement of a file, deletes it and only then discovered that the source file is locked and cannot be copied.]

  So I precede this with

  0 I run [if exists] copy D:\InterimBackup\Outlook.pst to D:\InterimBackup\Outlook2.pst

  The result is that whole process always ends but it only includes the last Outlook.pst that was available.  So I always make a point of Outlook to quit at some point during the day so that he could take part in this backup.

  If you have also tried this as a two part operation, your xcopy / robocopy in the folder InterimBackup would always succeed but would include only Outlook.pst if you had first closed the application.  Subsequent operation of RoboCopy would always succeed with the same possible omission.

  The downside of this might not suit your overall goal.  You'd have to RoboCopy separately all your others folder trees but keep the Outlook.pst in a tree that has not been included.  You could do this either by restructuring of your data or using RoboCopy exclude switches for the file Outlook.pst file.

  You have to accept that you might not be sure about the last time that the Outlook file had been included unless you had deliberately run the RoboCopy closing.

  I have reviewed this improvement by using Task Scheduler to respond in the event of closing Outlook and use it to initiate the copy outlook.pst to InterimBackup, then by running the part of the main operation on RoboCopy to this folder.  But my needs are so simple that I've never felt it's the logs of the events that I would have to put in place.

  As I say, it may not meet your needs.

• Cannot import Outlook pst file. How can I get permission to access the file?

  Outlook does not import a pst file that is checked on a DVD file.  Says I don't have permission to access the file.  What can get the permission to modify the file archived for read-only?

  Outlook needs read/write access to PST files. Write access is not possible if the file is located on an optical disc.

  Copy the file on your hard disk, and then import it.

• Is there a way to read the settings in a .pst file?

  Hi all!

  I looked everywhere for info on this and found nothing. Anyone know how to read the settings contained in a .pst file? I found some that I really like, but would like to know what they are doing. In other words, what are the different used FX and what are their settings? I would use some other users have created as a starting point to create my own channels of FX. Open in a text editor doesn't show something like:

  @^@^@D^@^A^A^@^@^@^@^KEMAGPPST^@^@^A^H^@^@^@^@Âp^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@¿< 80 > ^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @^ @? < 80 > ^ @^ @@ ^ @^ @^ @

  Is there a way to show somehow what they do and what they use the settings?

  Thank you!

  You're right, the settings file contain only of the code when opened in a text editor.

  But why don't you just open settings in a project, this way of seeing exactly what Plugins are loaded. Opening of the plug-in window will show you their parameters.

  The only restriction is that GarageBand has only a limited view of Plugin window which can not show all settings. To do this you must open in Logic Pro X.

  Hope that helps

• The behavior of copy (.png files) screen when using TextEdit and printing

  I have long used the method to copy and paste texts and/or pictures to TextEdit and print files .rtf or .rtfd below:

  I use the command-control-shift-4 and the cursor to select things and paste into TextEdit.

  That stopped working in the Sierra.  I tried several methods (PDF format conversion, fall in Pages and Numbers, for example), but nothing worked: the Canon PIXMA MX922 printed on a white sheet and left the box of small characters with text "filter impossible."

  There is no new printer driver on the Canon site; However, there is a new driver IJ Scan Utility and I downloaded it already after that installation of Sierra and the scanner works fine, as also directly print something (e.g. on the Web).

  Now, after several days of testing and I was wondering, I tried this yesterday:

  Instead of the above command, I used (which I do when I want to save it to the desktop) command + shift + 4.  I copied the file .png from office, dropped in the TextEdit, printed, and... IT WORKED.

  Copy and leaving fall directly in the TextEdit and printing, is so not working, but let fall the same screenshot on the desktop and copy and paste into TextEdit and it print shops.

  I noticed several other annoying problems to Sierra, some I've reported here (communities), some didn't.  Business-as-usual: first version of an upgrade is full of bugs, which 'disappear' in future versions, until a new update is made available, the loop continues, continues, and...

  He works here.

• Given the migration from Outlook to Thunderbird. I have several pst files that I want separated in thunderbird, because they are separate files in Outlook.

  I have several (about 12) PSTs in Outlook, each more than 500 MB. I want to migrate to Thunderbird, but don't want all merged in a database of wholesale Thunderbird pst files. Is this possible? Currently I use rules to move messages from the Inbox Outlook in those separate pst files, based on the subject. Also, I drag messages into my Inbox in these separate files for archival purposes, which preserves values my 'active' main email box.
  Thank you
  John

  Let's start from the beginning. Thunderbird has a single file by file. From the next release (about a month) you will be able to have a file by email.

  There is nothing in Thunderbird as a PST file. So before you start, you have to accept the changes in mind that goes with mail. Records are the only delimiter in Thunderbird. You do not get to attach and detach folders or files. They are in Thunderbird or deleted.

• How can I copy SOME files to email from an old backup profile

  I have a folder created under one of my accounts named Archive. In it I have subfolders for previous years. I discovered that they are all absent.

  I have a backup months full profile, but these records of the previous year would still have their content.

  How can I get these files (or therir content in my current profile that has the same name?

  In the Mail subdirectory other subdirectories with the name of the account of archives and of those who should be without extension and other files with the same name but with the extension .msf. Copy these files without extension in the account called the backup Archive to the current profile.
