After migrating I can no longer define filter rules, as TB states "No available folders" - incoming mails are sorted according to the existing rules into folder

I had to setup a new computer. I moved the profile data as described here. A new folder (just the icon) appeared out of nowhere (it can't be moved, renamed, deleted, etc.)
When I highlight a message and select Message -> Create Filter from message, I can not create a rule to move mail to a folder, as the field where I can select the target folder is grayed and it says "No available folders", which isn't true, I have lots of folders, and existing rules that route incoming mail into the correct folders (which have been defined before the move).
I can not exclude that this isn't related to the move, but to a newer ThunderBird version, as I do not create rules that often.
I use ThunderBird for different mail accounts with different providers.

Hello,
I found the solution.
For an unknown reason, one of my accounts was defective. I noticed that I did not receive emails from this account and found it that it had turned into that ghost folder.
After deleting this account (and creating a new account instead), I can again create rules as before.
I hope someone from the developers takes a look into this, it's quite embarassing.

    After upgrading, I can no longer log in to any websites, and all the option on the upper part of ALL web sites are dead. I cannot click on any menus. How do I get rid of this latest upgrade and return to a WORKING version?

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

    Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
    The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
    It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
    The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
    Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
    Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
    ... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
    Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
    Any thoughts?

    I never use the Intel side,
    Not understood, Intel make the processor that runs your Mac, there is no other 'side' to your Mac.
    What Adobe application are you trying to open files with?

    MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either.  Can someone help me with this?  Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over?  Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

    I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
    My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
    When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
    Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

  • After upgrading to mavericks all my folders in Mail are gone, with important documents, does anyone have any ideas how I can retrieve them? Thanks Warren

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Mavericks, all my mail folders in Mail are gone.  Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this. I only use the apple Mail, not anything else like gmail etc. Its very frustrating as I had importantant documents there.
    Thanks

  • Some incoming mails are totally unreadable after installing 10.6

    Some, about 20%, of incoming mails are totally unreadable gibberish after I installed Snow Leopard on my Desktop MacPro. The same mail reads fine on my MacBook Pro (also now running 10.6). An example of such a weird mail is here:
    ha sa S 7 s i ssho sb s s as s osg s h s skowassi wo sMag ssi s Ma s
    Oiga sM ssag ... and so on and on.
    If I copy the unreadable message and paste it into TextEdit it converts to other unreadable characters and numbers. If copied into a MS Word doc it appears as perfectly readable text.
    Has anybody seen something similar?

    OK, I think I have found a workaround for the problem. It is indeed a font issue... (thank you, William Lloyd, to point me in that direction!)
    If you get an unreadable message switch to "Reply" or "Forward" and you will be able to read the message (make sure your own mailbox font or message font - set under Preferences>Fonts - is anything except Courier or Chicago) and you will be able to read your mail. Select the message text and go to Format>Go Fonts and switch to several other fonts. As far as I can see all fonts work OK except Courier and Chicago. Obviously Courier is a popular mail font, so all mails written with it arrive garbled. If I use Courier or Chicago as my Message List font in the preference settings, all mail windows become unreadable!
    When I write a text in "TextEdit" and switch to Courier or Chicago - it will become unreadable. Possibly this happens in other applications as well...
    However - this only occurs on my desktop PowerMac, not on my MacBook, which makes this glitch especially puzzling. I have not yet tried to re-insall OS 10.6.

    Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple.  No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities.  If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

    This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
    This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.

  • Since upgrading to OS5 I know longer receive notice of incoming mail unless I actually click the mail icon.

    Since upgrading to OS5, I no longer receive notificatios of incoming mail unless I actually click the mail icon. Then it connects to the server and loads mail. Any answers?

    Go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure your account info is correct, delete the password and reenter to be sure it is clean.  Go to Mail and then open Preferences and check the account informaiton for the iCloud account and again, delete and reenter the password for the account.  Sometimes the passwords get garbled during an upgrade.

  • After publishing I can no longer see the poster frame on QuickTime

    I cant figure out why after publishing to the web (MobileMe), I can no longer see the poster frame on the QuickTime movie that I made. When I publishing to a folder on the mac to check my results I can see the poster frame, so it is only happening when i am publishing to the web. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or have a solution?
    Thanks
    Chris

    You cannot delete this icon as its preinstalled on the iPhone. You may have inadvertently moved it to another page or into a folder. I would suggest you look on all the pages and in all folders or alternatively do a search on your iPhone. It will at least tell you if they are still there but unfortunately not where. You could also do a home screen layout reset settings>general>reset>reset home screen layout.

  • After 13 years, can no longer recommend HP - Chronic MB problems on dv6t-7000 unheeded by HP support

    I couldn't find anywhere else to voice this - my dv6t-7000 is just out of warranty and thus I don't qualify for email support. I have spent the past year in a back and forth battle with HP customer support and am finally calling it quits after 13 years of exclusively buying from them and recommending them to less tech-savvy friends and family.
    I ordered this laptop around July 2012, eager to check out the benefits of Seagate's new 2nd-gen hybrid drives. Laptop arrived and was blazing fast, but starting getting some STOP errors (blue screens) pretty soon. Because this was coupled with hard drive errors, I didn't bother to dig too much into the problem and instead contacted HP, who (very quickly) shipped me a service box. I send them my laptop and get it back a couple of weeks later, but can't figure out what they changed (I later found out they just reflashed the BIOS).
    Sure enough, I start getting the same errors again. Contact HP a second time and they recommend a replacement hard drive. Swapped the drives out and started fresh, but within a couple of weeks, the same errors popped up on the new drive. At some point around here, I was told I was being moved up to a Tier 2 support level, which didn't seem to make a difference in how much (or little) support seemed to pay attention to my own observations of the problem. Their process came across as (1) determine if support is needed and warranted (2) ship out prepaid service box (3) let the service department start from scratch to diagnose the issue. 
    I ended up sending the laptop to HP a third time, after clarifying the issue with the support reps I spoke with and giving them detailed instructions of the problems I had been observing, which seemed to point to a faulty hard drive cable or a related issue with the motherboard itself. The rep was very friendly and promised to relay this information to support before they got their hands on my laptop. Sent it in and again - no difference except a freshly installed operating system.
    Before this third service call, I had freshly installed Windows 8, and if anything, the problem had gotten worse. I had run memtest with no errors on either sticks, ran SeaTools DOS with unspecified corruption errors, cleaned out the insides with compressed air, reinstalled WIndows 8 twice from scratch, ran dskchk and SFC countless times with unrepairable errors, run DISM a couple of times unsuccessfully, swapped out the CMOS battery, and was still basically experiencing a stop error every 1-2 days. I reinstalled Win8 after receiving my laptop back for the third time, and continued to have these problems. At this point I gave up trying to send it in to HP, because school was getting in the way of my ability to be without a laptop for 2 weeks at a time.
    Currently, I cannot install Windows 8.1 and still experience KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED stop errors every 2-3 hours. I had one while writing this post, so hopefully I haven't forgotten to include anything. I don't mean to lay all of the blame on HP, but I don't like not having my input listened to or considered. It seems counterintuitive to me - this process could have taken 2 weeks to resolve instead of multiple months to fail and lose a customer in the process. 
    I bought HP knowing fully well that I was paying for high-end parts and not necessarily build quality. That's never been a problem in 13 years of buying laptops and PCs from them, as well as recommending them to friends and family - we know how to take proper care of expensive technology. But I'm realizing now that when you do get a dud, HP support seems to do everything in its power not to have to replace your laptop even when it's warranted. I will use this laptop until it can no longer function (hopefully a couple of months at least) and then consider another company for the first time in a long time. On the desktop end - well, I've been meaning to build a PC for a while now. 

    I have forwarded your post to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via Private Message on this forum.
