LION: Mail backup in the library not user/library

Hello, fellow members of the Apple community. I'm in a little trouble and I hope you can help me.

I read articles such as Re: not able to locate the folder Mail and Mail Downloads on the Lion OS X disk

and I read all sorts of messages elsewhere on what and how to back up, but I have not found a definitive answer to my problem.

My external drive for Time Machine crapped out and is not repairable. I'm trying to back up to flash or CD before trying to reformat. I'm saving up for a new laptop and the drive (mine is 2008 and Lion is what she can do), but in the meantime I'd like to keep my data.

One piece that may be relevant to the news before going further: I was a user of cloud in the beginning and I have many goofy w/mail problems because I still have the ghosts of MobileMe. It's a mess, really, but I've been waiting until I go to a new system, because many trips to the local Apple stores did not resolve things, only complicated the more... Then...

I know that I should find the files I need to back up here:

Drive hard name/users/my name of user/library/mail

and

Name/users/my username/Library/preferences/com.Apple.mail.plist hard drive

BUT

Nothing is in those places. The plists are 'previous systems' and appear to be error or similar message.

I found, and go back, which seems to be the files, but they are in hard disk name/library. This could possibly be good? How will I know?

And dare I I reformat the hard drive or should I bite the bullet and get a new drive now? I can't afford a w/USB-C, but I could spring for the G-Technology G-DRIVE. I really mobile, but I heard that it does not run hot. I really would assess a guarantee of 3 years and, with USB 3, I think it will be retro-compatible with my old system and be a good solution for a new (which, I hope, I can manage soon).

Thanks in advance for the help!

If the/Home/Library/Mail folder is located in the folder/Library /, then move it back where it belongs unless there is already a folder/Home/Library/Mail /. In this case I would be throwing unless you want to import messages from him before throwing.

  • 10.2.3 FCPX create a backup of the library

    When you create a new library yesterday, FCPX has not created a backup of the library at the specified location. Other existing libraries are saved correctly. Even after the creation of duplicate projects and closing and reopening of the new library, not yet any backup library. Any suggestions? Thank you, marc

    What you've done by duplicating your project is the first thing that I would have suggested, (using the copy as command Snapshot is a manual way of backup and that some editors commonly use for version their projects.)

    But that is not answering the question of why your library is not automatically back up as it should. (I guess you already checked the location of the backups in the property inspector library > storage locations.)  First of all, remove preferences when you launch FCP. We e the new empty library as a library of important one test and edit to the project timeline.  Work on something else for 20 minutes, stop and check your backups folder.  If a backup was created, I suggest to move the event/project work to the new library. Open the working draft, do a trivial edit (after another 20 minutes) leave and see if things are back to normal.

    Good luck.

    I deleted the mail folder and deleted from library view.  now when I restart mail, almost all tabs are shaded and there is no mail works.  When I revisit the library, there is no e-mail folder.  How can I reinstall an application desktop mac.  PS. I deleted in the first place is because I had problems to view my posts etc, and I thought that might help.  Thanks for any help.

    Please restore whatever it is, you have deleted since the last backup you made before you delete.

  • Save the library of Photos with faces

    Hello

    I had to reinstall my Mac (clean). I supported my library of Photos (with iCloud than on library) on an external drive. Then all deleted and reinstalled my system. After put my photo library and turning on iCloud, all my 4000 pictures started downloading (and duplication) iCloud even they were already there. I had to stop this, delete my backup of the library of Photos and all photos were downloaded from iCloud. It would have been nice if I lose all my face tags (I spent a lot of time with) so how can I do the next time that when reinstalling my Mac?

    Thanks for the tips.

    It do exactly what you did the first time. Make a backup of your library of photos on an external drive and copy this library back to restore.

    The pictures will download all the photos again and compare with iCloud photo library. It will not recognize the library restored as the same library it used before, but she uses a detection duplicates to prevent adding duplicates. It will take as long as the initial download.

    If you start with a library empty projects and thumbnails of faces will be lost.  (Use pictures and iCloud library on several Macs - Apple Support)  But the restored Library searchable faces tags. You can still search the faces you assigned previously and use to recreate thumbnails of faces more quickly.

    But wait, face detection was performed on the photos downloaded from iCloud photo library.

  • F & G Committee < ' F & G Committee' > is not a valid e-mail address because it is not the form user@host. You need to correct before sending the e-mail message.

    Out with the new v.31.1.0, the: 2 September 2014 version of Thunderbird, I can email is no longer a list of recipients, getting the error msg: F & G Committee < ' F & G Committee' > is not a valid e-mail address because it is not the form user@host. You need to correct before sending the e-mail message. In earlier versions, the addresses of individual e-mail in the list (F & G Committee in this case) are automatically placed in as the e-mail is sent. Is there a solution to this problem?

    upgraded to 3.6, bookmarks, lost, lost the toolbar bookmarks, bookmarks library, lost cannot go to the previous backup, error message. Not have Torbutton. Cannot save new bookmarks. AutoFill remembers. Don't forget the story is about.

    I got this yesterday after the 3.6.4 problem upgrade. I'm not sure if I saw all the things you did, but I have def lost all bookmarks and the back button. I fixed it by:
    1. go to the Firefox profile directory, which for me is here but 1st bit will be different for you as mine work specific:

    C:\Documents and Settings\U049177\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\soez0lvk.default
    2 delete places.sqlite and places.sqlite - journal

    3. start Firefox (you should have the back button now works but not Favorites, he recreated to these 2 files)

    4. in the menu, bookmarks and then organize bookmarks, then button import and backup, then restore, then select a day to restore from. You should now have your backups Firefoxes bookmarks.

    Hope this works for you

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

    PHOTO IMPORT IOS ON MAC/PC

    Hello

    You did changes to the computer before the show?

    These problems occur because the folders or libraries that you are trying to back up or restore include a reparse point. Analytical points are similar to shortcuts Windows or Unix symbolic links. A point of analysis can be used to point to a file that is moved temporarily to a different drive.

  • iPhone does not backup on iCloud despite the library on

    My iPhone is not backup, despite the option is on. He used to work very well with my iPhone 6 and Macboo pro. Now when I get the pictures on my laptop I don't see the new photos.

    Please check that your device is correctly connected to the wireless internet (settings > wifi) and is plugged into a power source, check also that you have enough space in iCloud for your back upward.

    You can check the space available in settings > iCloud > storage and the space needed for the next backup to the settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage > backups > appliance > Back Up Options > next backup size (wait for the spinning until the gear icon).

    Assuming that you are eligible for iCloud upward, you should try a forced first stop, hold down the buttons side in top and home together until the unit stops, then restart by pressing the side/up button.

    Then, try to connect the device to a new location (different WiFi network)

    If your backup continues to fail, you can try to disable the backup on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > backup), reboot the device and then turn on BackUp on new.

    If this help not disable backup again, remove your existing back to the top of settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage > backup > this device (scroll down) > delete backup, restart the device and then turn on BackUp.

    If you are unable to make a return to the top, try to connect on iCloud (settings > iCloud (scroll down) > Sign Out (you will need to enter your password at this point), restart the device and sign in iCloud to settings > iCloud.)

    The next thing to try would be to restore your network settings. (Settings > general > reset > reset network settings)

    Reset your network settings will erase your cell phones and wireless network settings, including saved networks, passwords for wifi and VPN settings, that you can use. It will affect to the Internet but will not be an impact on telephone services because these settings are automatically configured by your carrier. It may take a few moments to enter again all your network settings, but it shouldn't cause you any major problems. If you are comfortable re - enter your network settings, you can try this step earlier in the troubleshooting procedure, i.e. after the forced shutdown suggested above.

    If this does not help, try to disable some elements for the back upward in a model to try to establish if your problem is caused by specific data on your device. You can do with settings > iCloud > storage > storage management > backup > appliance > Back Up Options.

    If you are still not able to perform a backup from iCloud, you can try to restore your phone which you should do by making an iTunes backup via your computer and restore from that.

    Be able to go back to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you have access to a computer or rarely have access to one, however unless you need specifically to use iCloud to go back, you'll find a backup on iTunes much more convenient and possibly more reliable. However if you save up to iTunes be sure to encrypt the back upward if you want to keep your data on health and passwords etc.

  • Access to the library of the user on the backup drive

    I need to access my preferences of old logic disk clone.  I know that if I worked this system I would just press option/GB and I could access the user library but I try to access to the outside, the last time I tried to restart from that clone drive it wouldn't work.

    Open the copy in your folder on this drive, choose go to folder from the Finder menu and provide exactly the library as the path.
