Recovering old emails and folder structure

18. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

Just started using Mac Mini and managed to set up same email account as previously used. Downloaded all data onto external hard drive before changing and have now exported it to Mac but I can't find old emails or the old email folder structure. Any ideas?

Windows Live Mail message files are corrupted when importing from external hard drive backup to PC

19. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

I have just completed a clean W7 reinstall. I backed up my Windows Live Mail messages (approximately 2.5gb) to a external hard drive and imported then back into a newly installed WLM. Unfortunately the email messages now have become corrupted.

The message headers appear to be correct, but the body of each message contains exactly the same text/message in each email. Is there a way to recover or correct this issue.

I cannot edit photos in Photo Gallery because they are not visible when I try to edit them

01. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,

Hi

I run Windows 8.1

I have a number of photos that I sort into folders on my external hard drive. For months I have been opening the photos in Photo Gallery to crop them and have never had a problem.

However, when I tried to do this yesterday, this is what happened ...

I opened the relevant folder that contained my photos from my external drive and this displayed all the photos in that folder. I clicked on the first photo, which opened in Photo Gallery. I then clicked on 'Edit, organise or share' from the toolbar (this is a process I have done many times). However, although this displays lots of photos in Photo Gallery that I can edit, it does not include the ones in the folder that I just opened - they are nowhere to be seen. I have not hidden the side navigation because it does display lots of photo folders. I have also run a repair on Windows Essentials but it has made no difference.

As far as I can tell I have done differently to what I have dozens of times in the past without any problems.

PLEASE HELP!!!

LOST STORAGE FOLDERS IN WINOWS LIVE 2012

28. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

Hi ...I am aware of a post from Microsoft Moderator Leilani P. on November 15, 2012  regarding this issue. I have followed her advice up to the point of ; "Open the WLM Store folder." However, when I open the  'Storage Folder' and then open the 'Local Folder' the folder is empty.

I have not been able to locate my storage folders anywhere else on my C Drive. However, I do have the folders backed up to an external hard drive and so if no one can tell me how to locate my lost folders in my C Drive could someone perhaps assist in telling me how to transfer my storage files from my external hard drive back into Windows Live. Thanks very much , I would definitely appreciate any help offered!

Regards

Moving Old Folders to New Computer

27. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I have a new computer.

All my old photos are on the old computer and on an external hard drive.

I have attached the external drive to th new computer.

I can now view these photos easily on Photo Gallery.

But I know longer have all my old folders, which organized these photos into favorites, vacation places, people, etc.

Can these folders be resurrected to the Photo Gallery on the new computer?

And if I am able to import these folders, will they recognize which photos belong in which folders?

To put it another way, is there a way for the photos on the external hard drive to be organized in those folders the way they were on the old computer?

Windows Photo Gallery

I have a new Windows 8 ultrabook that has minimal storage - 100 gigs total storage, with only 27 gigs free.
I have all my photos on an external hard drive. When I want to view a photo in Photo Gallery, it wants to import all the photos. Well there is not enough storage space. So is there any way I can view/modify my photos in Photo Gallery that are stored on my external hard drive?

Missing emails from PST file

I've put a PST file on to an external hard drive and then put it on to my Macbook using the import tool on Outlook 2011 for Mac. I've got all the emails apart from the past three months. Does anyone have any ideas how to get them as I've tried to import three times and had the same issue each time?

Recovering and reinstalling Outlook file in Office for Mac 2011 after hard drive failure

18. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Need insight for reinstalling Office for Mac 2011and recovering Outlook file -- am running OS x 10.6.8 on my iMac currently; I have a backup of my Outlook file from Office for Mac 2011 (Time Machine did not save it properly so I made a separate backup on an additional external hard drive).  However, I don't  know if I should reinstall the Office for Mac software first (from the original install disks) on new hard drive before copying backup Outlook file over from backup drive or not.  Clearly, the backup file has a more updated version for Outlook for Mac 2011 than the installation disks, given the Microsoft updates that have routinely occurred since the time I purchased the software.  Please advise, if you can.
