Tried to do a clean reinstall, but cannot find/delete my old Thunderbird data--how can I completely uninstall Thunderbird on MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.5?
Had a bug in my Thunderbird 24.4.0 (error message stating not enough room in folders, must delete messages, etc.---but this doesn't work) and attempted to download and install a new T-bird program. I saved mail folders & addresses from my profile (in user/hank/library/caches/,metadata/Thunderbird) on a thumb drive after verifying that it was my current stuff---took an hour--- then deleted it, and also deleted the program in my Applications folder.
However, when I installed the new program, it automatically showed all my same emails, folders and data. I figured I had not removed the old stuff properly, but it was "gone"---and the error message continued to appear, keeping me from downloading messages. Obviously the newly installed Thunderbird had gotten it from somewhere, but I don't know where!
This morning I opened T-bird again, and now it seems to be working normally! Halleluja---but I realize I don't know where the stuff was stored. So my questions are:
(1) How do you uninstall Thunderbird?
(2) Where is the data REALLY stored?
Your settings and email are stored in your profile. This is separate from the program as you discovered. Under the HELP menu is a selecting Troubleshooting Information. There is a button there that shows where your profile is located.

My computer has been installed with a German programme, originally programmed in English with English keyboard. The keys are the same as before but the keyboard is now programmed in German and I cannot find the way to enter @. How can I do it?
Hello r555,
Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for visiting our forum. I am very sorry to hear that it has not always been easy for you to receive your Gamers Club Unlocked bonus when trading in games. I'll be happy to talk to you about your experience.
I get the impression you are quite familiar with the trade-in process and how the bonus is applied, and it is disappointing to hear that a store associate wouldn't attempt to complete that process. I will be sending you a private message so we can get some more specific information regarding which store you were at as well as the trade in question where you did not receive the bonus. Please watch for a message from me shortly.
Sincerely,
Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder
For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

I don't have back up since last august but I accidentally delete the message recently. How can I undo that message back ?
If you haven't backed up to either your computer or iCloud, you can't get the message back. Let this be a lesson to either back your phone up to your computer or to iCloud (or both) regularly.

I want to re-install Premiere Elelments 8, but cannot find downloads for version 8. I have the serial no. Where can I download the files for version 8?
Hi Jeff. I did purchase Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe (download version), but couldn't find the files to download again on the adobe.com website. I did, however carry out another search of files from my old PC and eventually found the files to reinstall on my new PC, using my registered product serial no. Installation has worked. It seems that Adobe has stopped supporting version 8 as I could only find version 9 and later for download from the adobe.com website.
Thanks for your prompt reply -
Where can I find the pathway to upgrade my 6.1 iMac to the Lion 7.1 and then to the Montian Lion 10.1. I think I have to update to Lion before I can update to montian Lion but cannot find the upgrade to take me from 6.1 to 7.1
What are we talking about here? You've posted in a Windows forum, but seems you are referring to an iMac. But you are not referring to OS X version numbers. Maybe you should make clear what you want.

I purchased and downloaded 6 episodes of a TV show. I watched them all, then deleted them from iPhone and iPad to free up the space.
The videos are removed from iPad completely, but when I sync the iPhone the purple bar in iTunes indicates that I still have all the 6 videos! The size of the 6 files and the size of the 6 videos the purple bar indicate are the same. I am not syncing TV shows (Sync TV show isn't selected whenI sync the phone with my computer). How can I completely delete them?
Nothing appears in Videos, usage/videos!
I can't click any TV show to watch in iTunes app either even if I find the same TV shows.
I have no propblem with iPad, but problem is only with iPhone.
The videos are not HD.
Any suggestion to free up the space?
Thanks!Hey RR6705,

Just downloaded an album but cannot play one of the songs. How can I re-download?
Purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes Store... one song does not play correctly.
All other songs play great, but the last one only plays 20s of the 3 minutes and passes on to the next song.
How can I download the song again?Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copy from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.
