Since Thunderbird attempted to load the newest version, nothing loads. Video won't load, pages take forever. How do I fix this?

A pop up asked if I wanted to install the latest version of Thunderbird. I clicked yes, and nothing has worked since. Videos won't load, sites take forever to load if they do at all. I clicked on Thunderbird 'about' and it showed it was attempting to load verision 12.1. My last version was 3.1. I deleted the Thunderbird application and installed a 3.1 version I had backed up. Everything is still not working right.
How do I fix this?

Thanks Zenos. I have an iMac OS10.6.8 When Thunderbird was installing the latest version is when this problem started. And the problem IS with my browser. I realized the problem started when I said 'yes' to installing the latest version. When I checked preferences I noticed Thunderbird was attempting to load version 12.1 It had been running for days and only 159 kbs had loaded . I didn't know how to stop it, so I just trashed the Thunderbird app, but that didn't help. I'm not very techy to say the least, but it seems like there might still be something running in the background that is slowing up everything else on my computer. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for the reply.

  • Since loading the newest version, firefox crashes after a few hours of inactivity. Vista home is the OS.

    Since loading the newest version of Firefox on my computer running Vista Home edition Firefox crashes after several hours of inactivity. If I leave the browser open and return in a few hours, Firefox hangs and a control/alt/delete pulls up "Firefox not responding" and I have to close the application. Upon opening it again I get the Firefox box of oops, do you wish to open a new session or return to the old one. This problem never happened in earlier versions. Also, you tout the newest version is faster - not so on my computer.

    if you use vista, try install sp2, and if the problem still there , try google chrome 10.x to see whether it is better, sometimes these sort of problem only happen to some specific websites, and esp. during rush hours of internet, i.e. night hours from dusk to mid-night.

  • I just loaded the newest version of iTunes.  Now iTunes will not load dur to missing files.

    I just loaded the newest version of iTunes on a pc with WindowsXP.  As soon as I attempted to open iTunes, I received a message that it could not open due to missing files.  This is the second upgrade in a row that this has happened to me.  What is going on? 

    I'd try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does your iTunes start launching again?

    I am unable to load the newest version of itunes because when I run the program, i am told the old version of Bonjour could not be removed.  As a result the program fails to run completely.  What can I do to get the older version of Bonjour removed?  I tried unsuccesfully to remove the older version of itunes

    bobjbkln - Your link will not help. The supject is:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    but the poster says he has a Mac with OSX 10.5.
    For the original poster (OP), try posing in the iTunes form since now you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.

  • TS3212 Is anyone else having problems loading the newest version of iTunes (10.6.3) on Windows?

    Is anyone having problems loading the newest version of iTunes (10.6.3) using Windows Vista? My current iTunes program version 10.6.1 keeps telling me there is an update but when I try to load it the information box goes away and nothing happens.  I have tried downloading the new version from Apple web site but it brings up a warning screen of " iTunes setup.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer." I select the action of run anyway and get the next error "iTunes Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."  What Gives?

    I select the action of run anyway and get the next error "iTunes Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date have you worked through the following document?

  • I loaded the newest version and it only shows an hourglass and then says it could not open. HELP! I cannot run a crash report either.

    Firefox worked before though at times encountered a problem and had to close. Now I've loaded the newest version and it won't even fully load without having to close. I plugged in the crash item id that HELP forum instructed, and the report said it could not proceed. SO I'm not experienced in any of this and don't know how to make it work. I have to use Explorer until it is fixed. Help please.

  • Loaded the newest version of software for I-Pod mini

    We loaded the newest version of software for our mini and now there are no songs showing on the I-pod anymore. How do we get the music from the library back onto the I-Pod? HELP!

    Downloading music that you do not have the rights to is illegal, so no, I can't help you out with those songs.
    Sorry!
    Plus, Limewire is a fantastic way to get viruses, key loggers, and spyware on your computer, as you are creating a direct link to other computers, including those of hackers and spammers.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. Most likely your system simply doesn't have enough juice to deal with it or the required graphics hardware acceleration is misconfigured and needs a new driver....
