After last update, Thunderbird does not appear on desktop when started (XP Professional).

Since yesterday's update, when I start Thunderbird, it appears in the task bar, but not on the desktop. I can select it, or use Task Manager to "switch to" it, but right-clicking it does not give me a menu. (It used to be that it opened outside the visible desktop, but right-click gave me a "move" option and I could move it to the visible screen with the cursor keys). I know XP is on its way out, but...

Start >Programs >Mozilla Thunderbird
right click and select 'Create shortcut'
It should ask to put shortcut on desktop, click on Yes

  • Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

    Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

    No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
    I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
    To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

  • Successful download of Lightroom CC, but icon for this updated version does not appear on desktop.  How do I access the installed current version of Lightroom CC?

    Repeat:  I successfully downloaded the Lightroom CC application, and the updated version of Photoshop.  However, a Lightroom CC icon never appeared on my Mac laptop pro, and I am apparently unable to access the Lightroom CC application.   The updated (current version) of Photoshop and icon did appear on the desktop.  How do I access Lightroom CC??

  • Iphone icon does not appear on desktop

    iphone icon does not appear on desktop when plugged into my mac, so I can't select it to manage music via the sync method.

    Lyssa - Thank you for your response. I thought that might be the case, but although there is a symbol in the upper right corner that reads "iPhone"  the list of music is my entire iTunes list. I would like to update my music on the phone but can't seem to "see" what is currently there when plugged into my iMac. It all used to be so much easier and user friendly.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone.  The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone.  Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • HT4623 I have updated my iPhone 5 but after this update it does not accept charging

    Dear Sir/Ma'am,
    I have update my iphone 5 software with iOS 7 but after this update it does not accept the charger or neither any charging ?
    I need to know how to solve this issue please.
    Thank you

    Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
    You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

  • Firefox runs in background (appear in Task Manager Processes Tab) only and does not appear on Desktop

    I have been using Firefox on my Desktop PC with Windows XP for a long time. However, today possibly due to some virus (I attached an infected flash drive to my PC) a suspicious change in homepage (www.delta-homes.com) of my firefox occurred. Simultaneously an error message of "WinZip" appeared on screen. I figured that there must be some software in "C:\Program Files\" which is also causing problem to my firefox. I opened Program Files and removed that folder named WinZip. (Tried to uninstall it but it won't happen so I had to use "Unlocker" to kill processes this folder was associated with and then deleted the folder.)
    From that point onward, My FireFox started to behave weird. Whenever I click on Firefox icon or access firefox.exe from any source (start menu, quick launch, program files, Run Command), it starts but appears only in "Task Manager Processes Tab". In that Processes Tab, firefox.exe is continuously using 50% of CPU but it does not appear on Desktop at all.
    To go a step further, I uninstalled firefox and tried to re-download from Firefox official website but the download fails in the start saying "Download is interrupted". (See attached Image). So I downloaded a previous version of Firefox (v 34.0) from www.filehippo.com and installed it but the same problem is happening with this version too.
    I am confused and surprised what might be causing this problem. Everything else on PC running fine. Kindly help me restore my Firefox so that I may not lose any precious Bookmarks, Settings and other Data. thanks

    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

  • Firewire icon does not appear on desktop

    My Firewire is connected and turned on but it's icon does not appear on desktop. I ran disk utility and the drive's icon appears there. I can run repair tests on it but not a permissions test. When I checked "Get Info" I noticed a line that reads "OWNER ENABLED: NO". What Can I do--I have a lot of important files on the drive and need to access them. I have also run 3rd party disk utilities that say the firewire drive and all files are 'ok' but still I am not able to access it in any way.

    If disk utility sees the drive then you should be able to choose it from the list and click "Activate" (or "Mount" or whatever it says in English )

    Beer,
    is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
    because i am facing the below issue in my car.
    the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
    upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

    The problem went away after two days.
    If Thunderbird was not automatically updated, the problem must have been RCN.

  • System default email client (Thunderbird) does not appear in mailto applications.

    I should like to use Thunderbird as the mailto application in Firefox. The only options listed for mailto are GMail, Yahoo mail, always ask, and choose application; use default does not appear.

    I've solved this. Clicking "use other" in mailto applications, "cancel" when a window opens to select application, then clicking an application other than mailto, and the system default mail client is selected. Seems a bit user unfriendly. I'm running Firefox 24 under Ubuntu 13.04 BTW.
