After a new install with old TBird uninstalled."Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" Should have created a NEW profile?

My Windows 7 Ultimate computer received an unauthorized Windows overnight update followed by error messages. Bless Microsoft. To compound the problem there were NO restore dates found and no recent backups. I lost about the last entire year of data including all my many downloads and recent documents, etc.
Like another user, I also had more than a year of Thunderbird emails in my inbox and many other folders. Important to me. Now TBird won't open...at all... and gives me an error message: "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." OK. So I uninstalled it and REINSTALLED IT, more than once, and still get this same error message after a supposedly successful installation. The error message and then TBird fails to open. Shouldn't it create a new profile with the new install?

No. It's looking for, and finding, profiles.ini but can't find the profile in the location stored in profiles.ini.
Deleting (or moving or renaming) profiles.ini should indeed force it to generate a new profile.
Do these help?

Uninstalled Firefox & deleted profile folder. Installed new Firefox but box pops up "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded It may be missing or inaccessible."

I can't reinstall firefox. I deleted the profile folder and uninstalled firefox in hopes of clearing up the cookies from some problems I was having accessing my school course through a website. It seems to be downloaded but won't open up because the profile is missing. Help is appreciated thanks!

If you delete the Firefox profile folder, but leave the profiles.ini file then Firefox will try to access the folder that is marked as "Default=1" in the profiles.ini file and that will cause this error message.
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
You do not have to delete the Firefox profile folder if there is a problem with the cookies.
You would only have to delete the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies in case clearing the cookies in the normal way isn't working.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

When I download and try to install Thunderbird I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded, it may be missing or inaccessible".

Because of a virus, I redownloaded Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it completed until trying to open Thunderbird when I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I know the profile exists in a "recovered files" folder. I've tried to move it to the current Thunderbird folder but get the same message. I've tried to follow a Mozillazine article but it's too complicated. Is there any online help, such as chat or phone?

I think I have finally figured out how to reply to you. Even though your email says to reply to [email protected], that just goes into dead space.
So to answer your question, the profiles.ini file has in it:
<pre><nowiki>{General}
StartWithLastProfile=1
{Profile0}
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/ghdigdus.default</nowiki></pre>
Also, I want to mention that there is a Thunderbird folder in C:\ just above the Users folder. It has two profiles in it, one of which is the e00qmtzd.default folder.
Are we getting closer to solving this problem?

"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" - Firefox not working on new Mac

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.5. Data was moved from my 2008 MacBook (where Firefox worked perfectly) to this one. Several attempts to uninstall and re-install Firefox get the above error message. A previous thread indicated that someone was able to fix this by creating a new profile. I tried this, using these instructions - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager - but I get an error message when I try to do this in Terminal:
"Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile directory.
Profile Missing: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
The Support on this site only troubleshoots this Profile Manager issue by saying I must have Firefox on in the background to get this error, but I do not.
Help, please?

Yes, I've tried to create a new profile in Profile Manager, using Terminal, but I get this error message when I do so:
"Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile directory. Profile Missing: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
The Support on this site only troubleshoots this Profile Manager issue by saying I must have Firefox on in the background to get this error, but I do not.
So, how do I get around this roadblock?

OID/DAS migrate content to new install with a different realm - help

Hi all.
Need some advice.
We have a dev/test 9.0.4 (10gr1) apps environment that has a specific domain. However the PROD domain is different as the person who installed it couldn't work around the fact that the server had a different domain name than test/uat. So they put in place a Virtual Host.
I want to fix this as PROD is different to dev/uat.
1) I believe this can be done using the OUI_HOSTNAME of the runInstaller option on a new install
Can anyone confirm this ??
2) Once I build a NEW 9.0.4 infrastructure/middle tier with the correct domain - how do I:
a) Migrate users from "bad" domain to new infrastructure tier domain and maintain all SSO/privledges ?? Ldap export and import ??
b) Migrate my content across => we are using oracle Portal and an OC4J instance. I assume I can do a 'portal export' from old install and import into new install ?? IS this valid ....... and then just re-deploy the "ear" file to new application server install ??
many thanks on your advice

I figured out the answer shortly after posting my question: I booted to new disk in the FW enclosure while attached to my MBP, and ran Migration Assistant, selecting to copy data from the (old) internal disk to "this mac". I'll see how everything works six hours from now...

Yeah, that worked for me, but it's an indication that some work needs to be done. One needs to AVOID running this as root, and so I think thats going to be the first challenge for the amarok1 maintainer. The ONLY thing we should use root for is the actual installation, not the compilation.

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

Get your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible after install. Profile.ini isnt installed at all. Forums no help.

I have installed the latest version of Firefox on my windows XP Pro 32 bit box 3 times and uninstalled 3 times to fix the message that the Profile is missing and your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. I am admin on the box and I can install the download and remove it all day long but I can't get the profile.ini to be created. I've looked at all the forums and they don't address the missing profile at all or that it never gets created. I really need this to work as IE won't work for me.

There is no Mozilla folder created under appdata only roaming and several other program files underneath that.
Then perform the steps I described for the ''Roaming'' folder instead.
If the problem persists, please mention what security software you have (antivirus, firewall, etc.). Are you by any chance using software that might automatically lauch applications in a sandbox, like Avast?
''standun wrote:''
I sent an email earlier today but never heard back.
I don't know who you emailed, given that Mozilla doesn't provide tech support via e-mail. If you're referring to the notification e-mails from this forum, they only serve to let you know a reply has been posted. You need to click the “See the comment” link in the message to reply.
''standun wrote:''
If there was anyway to import the profile.ini I would.
You could manually create the folders and the ''profiles.ini'' file, but without solving the underlying problem, you're likely just run into some other issue instead. If you insist on going about it this way, this is what you'd do:
 1. Click the '''Start''' button on the taskbar and choose '''Run'''.
 2. In the box that opens, type ''%AppData%'' and press Enter.
 3. In the folder that opens, create a new folder called ''Mozilla''
 4. Open the Mozilla folder and inside it create a new folder called ''Firefox''
 5. Start Notepad, paste the following as its contents, then save the file as ''%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini''
<pre><nowiki>[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2dzy4k7u.default
Default=1</nowiki></pre>
6. Inside the Firefox folder, create a new folder called ''Profiles''
 7. Inside the Profiles folder, create a new folder called ''2dzy4k7u.default''
 
When launching Firefox, it will then attempt to populate the blank profile folder with data files (bookmarks, history, cookies, and so on). If you still have the permissions issue, I expect it will fail to do so.

User profile cannot be loaded after installing ios7!

Two days ago, ios7 was installed on my HP laptop. Today when I tried to log on with my HP user ID password I'm receiving a message saying," The User Profile Service Failed. User profile cannot be loaded. Has anyone had this problem after downloading the new ios7? Need help please advise!
