OS X :: Restore Mail Inbox With Time Machine / Unable To See Contents Of Email
Dec 16, 2009I have a problem with my inbox, seems its corrupted in some way. I can see the headers, but no contents, cant delete or move message. All other folders seem OK. Its from a POP3 mailbox where the originals are deleted off the server when downloaded so I'd prefer to try and recover it but I can live with losing the contents if necessary. Any ideas? Is there a tool or way to repair? I have Time Machine but I doubt the TM backup will have caught these files between them being downloaded (they came in one batch) and being corrupted as it was only a few minutes. Not sure how I could tell if TM did catch them either.
Update; Impressive, TM did recover them, now I just need to work out how to empty the inbox of the corrupt messages. Worst case I can create a new email account but I'd rather not as configuring it was troublesome.
Second Update; Mailbox > rebuild, then move the messages from the TM mail recovered folder back to inbox.
OS X Mavericks :: 10.9.3 - Mail Import Fails After Time Machine Restore
Jun 22, 2014Running 10.9.3 on a MacBook Pro and just replaced the hard drive. I did a Time Machine restore and Mail is now hanging part way through the import. I saw a number of threads on this issue and and fixed permissions and deleted the Envelope Index files. Still no luck. I'm unsure what else I can do to isolate the problem. Is there anything that I can restore that would not require Mail to re-import?

Jun 5, 2014I had to restore my data from time machine by doing a full migration of all data from my back up drive.
Now that I have recovered my existing system (which did involve a full wipe of HD, internet recovery and an update again from ML to mavericks).
My restored system does not recognise the back up drive as a time machine and it would appear I cannot append any future backups to this TM.
I would have to wipe the disk and start again which I did not particularly want to do.

OS X Mavericks :: Can't Restore Time Machine Files
Jun 22, 2014I recently erased my Mac partition of my hard drive and got a fresh copy on mavericks. I did this believing I would then be able to restore any important backed-up files later, now all I get in time machine is this:
Everything is greyed out apart from all my files and it stays like this for about five minutes. I know all the data is on the hard drive as it says 250GB of data is on it. Is it just searching through the Hard drive and I need to give it time for the files to show up?
OS X Mavericks :: Incomplete Restore From Time Machine?
Jun 28, 2014My 2009 iMac running 10.9.3 was having problems with crashing apps and just plain acting weird. I decided to do a clean reinstall of Mavericks using my Time Machine backup. I discovered that the Time Machine Restore erases the disk during the process and that would give me the "clean" reinstall.
After completing the restore, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, App Store, iTunes, Maps, QuickTime Player, and iPhoto did not have their proper icons in the dock nor would they run. Also, all the Utilities including Disk Utility and Activity Monitor showed bad icons and would not run. Trying to open Disk Utility gives a message "You can't open the application "Disk Utility.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete." Safari, Notes, Preview and other non OSX system apps seem to be largely OK.
I downloaded the OSXUpdCombo10.9.3.dmg and reinstalled Mavericks. No change in the icons, but this time Mail did open but then crashed. I tried moving Disk Utility from my laptop to my iMac with dropbox but OSX will not allow me to replace the bad Disk Utility.
OS X Mavericks :: How To Restore From Time Machine Backup
Jun 24, 2014Macbook Pro 15", (early 2011) 2.0 GHz, 8GB memory
After having my WD 750GB HD crash, I decided that I would opt for a smaller (256GB) SSD drive and just put Mavericks and my apps on the new drive and keep my user files on an external drive. I've installed and formatted the new drive but I can't figure out how to install just OSX from Time Machine since the entire backup is too big for my new drive. Before the drive failed, I had installed the latest update for Mavericks (10.9.3?)

OS X Mavericks :: Time Machine System Restore?
Jul 1, 2014I recently did an erase and restore with Time Machine from Mavericks to Leopard (on my MacBook) in order to access stored information on a couple of now-defunct programs. Subsequently I wanted to go back to Mavericks. I did what I did going from Mavericks: held down Command and R while restarting. No deal: I simply ended up with a restart each time. An internet search led me to understand (I think) my error: you need an install disc to move from Leopard to a later program. In fact, I do have a Snow Leopard install disk. But that has been rejected by the computer. That might be because the disk came with my iMac. How did I get Snow Leopard on my MacBook in the first place? An Apple service center installed it when they were servicing my MacBook, which at that time just had Leopard.

OS X Mavericks :: Can't Restore From Time Machine Backup
Aug 30, 2014My wife deleted some of her Mail mailboxes. I couldn't figure out how to recover them. So I decided to a complete restore of her system from her Time Machine backups. I restarted with the option key down and choose the options to allow a restore from Time Machine. I choose her most recent "good" backup". The process began, indicating that it would take 11 hours to complete. I left the computer when it showed about 5% complete. When I next checked the computer about 8 hours later I found the startup screen with the spinning wheel on the screen. I waited about 4 hrs. and then shutdown the computer. It will not boot. It simply shows the startup screen with the spinning wheel. So I repeated the entire process, this time selecting an older TM backup to restore from. Unfortunately I experienced the same result.
Her computer is a 2012 Macbook Pro running 10.9.4. Her TM backups are stored on a Time Capsule.

Sep 25, 2009we had our MBP fixed (it was having a kernel panic due to bad RAM stick which was under warranty at the store we got it from).
In the process I practically wiped the computer of all critical data, including mail, and backed it up in time machine. I also removed the e-mail accounts.
If I do a clean install with SL, can I simply add one of the accounts back in, and then go into time machine and restore the mail (backed up on leopard) back onto the computer?

OS X Mavericks :: Restore From Time Machine After Clean Install
Jun 1, 2014I decided to do a clean install of Mavericks to get rid of all the very old files hiding in my system folders. I made a start-up disk following online instructions, rebooted from the USB drive and wiped the drive and reinstalled Mavericks. Then I plugged in my Time machine backup drive and tried to recover particular folders from the latest backup. However, I am getting a permission error that prevents me from going into the old user folder from that backup. It has a red circle/line icon on the folder.

OS X Mavericks :: Importing (Mac) Mail Only From Time Machine Backup?
Dec 1, 2014I have a MBP that is around 3yo; I'm running 10.9.5.
Over the past eight years or so I've gone through several desktops and laptops and have used disk images (via Time Machine) to move info and programs from one machine to another dozens of times. . .main unit to backup unit and back again, main unit to new unit, etc.
There is all sorts of "stuff" - programs and who knows what - that I probably don't need anymore and I feel like I'm perpetuating some of my computer issues by having all this junk on my hard drive. I'm at the point where I'd like to totally wipe my computer clean and reinstall everything from scratch - but only install the stuff I want/need. I would manually reinstall the Adobe Suite and Microsoft Office suite, for example, and then upload my documents, photos, music, browser bookmarks, etc.
My stumbling block is the bloody Mac Mail program. I use this extensively for work and NEED the folders to be in place with all the emails they contain (including deleted email). This is hugely important and has to go right. I can't seem to figure out how to cherry pick this one from Time Machine, though. It seems that the only option is take the ENTIRE Time Machine disk image and transfer it to my computer (which I don't want).
When I used Entourage years ago it was possible to just export everything and then reimport it onto the new machine. Is this not possible with Mail? Is there a way to "cherry pick" Mac Mail from Time Machine and pull ONLY that over onto my reformatted machine?

OS X Mavericks :: Apple Mail - Mail Not Going Into Inbox
Jun 2, 2014Seems when Apple Mail checks for new mail (Mail provider is Google), it does show up in the All Mail folder that Google provides, but the new messages are not showing up in the Apple Mail inbox.
When I check this in the Google mail web client, mail appears as normal.
I'm missing messages, so this is something I'd like to figure out what's going on.

Mails older than 30 days are downloading fine from my godaddy IMAP account.
I tried on another mac with the same result! Using another mail client than Apple mail or iOS mail on my phone works fine so the issue seems to be related to the Apple mail client (and/or iCloud?!).
Sent mails are synced OK so it is only an inbox related issue.
