After upgrading to Yosemite, Thunderbird does not recognize email addresses: "syntax error" in recipient address. Fix?

After upgrading to IOS Yosemite, Thunderbird will no longer send emails to the contacts in my history file that drops down when I "write" a new message. I continue to get a return response that there is a syntax error in the address field of the message although I have tried both my stored emails and manually typed email addresses. What has been changed and how do I recover the use of Thunderbird's great program?
By the way, how do I eliminate out of date email addresses from popping up and populating email responses rather than the most current ones that are in my contacts? I now have to type each one in separately as the default options that come up are many out of date.
Thanks much for your great work. Mozilla and Firefox are the best.

Did you find a solution to this issue?  My mail server is doing the same thing.  I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues.  I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly.  The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
Do you see anything similar?

    After upgrading to Yosemite iPhoto will not work. Does not work even after installing iPhoto Library Upgrader. Any suggestions

    Does not work even after installing iPhoto Library Upgrader. Any suggestions
    You not only have to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader but you also have to run it on the library.  It'll be in the Applications/Utilities folder.  Double click on it to launch and it will automatically locate the last library you worked with and convert it.

  • After upgrading to Lion , itunes does not recognize my ipad, ipod touch anymore.

    Yesterday I updated to Mac OSC Lion on my original Intel Macbook (the first Aluminum Macbook) with 4GB RAM.
    Today I had a run in with my ipad and ipod touch, both of whom are not being recognized by itunes anymore.
    My ipod shuffle and classic are still being recognised and do sync.
    I have read through the support pages and annoyingly even factory-reset my ipad, which cannot be used anymore due
    to itunes not recognizing the device !
    System profiler does show either ipod or ipad being connected to the usb port. Resetting of the devices did not help (see above)
    Any clues to this inconsistent behaviour differentiating between classic ipods and ipod touch/ipad ?
    js.

    update: It seems like the XCode update did interfere with itunes. I reran the XCode install this time with itunes not running. This seems to update all necessary drivers and Library items correctly.
    After this IPad and IPod touch were working fine again.

  • After upgrade to ios6 iPad does not accept password to wifi, I cannot connect to internet. Pls help me...

    After upgrade to ios6 iPad does not accept password to wifi, I cannot connect to internet. Pls help me...

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

    After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
    Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
    XML Parsing error: undefined entity
    Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
    Line number 18, Column 1:
    <dialog
    ^
    Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

    Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
    Thank you very much again.
    Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
    In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

  • After updating to Yosemite, it will NOT recognize my nikon D7000

    I am trying to tether to Lightroom, which I could do before updating to Yosemite.  Now my computer DOES NOT recognize my camera.
    Help?

    It says at the top: This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID (b*****@hotmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this ipad.
    I can't see the full email but what is shown my email begins with a "b" and is through hotmail. I got on my computer and logged in to my Apple acct. with no problems with my email ID and password.

  • Server does not recognize email address

    I have both an iphone and an ipad until today I was able to send emails from both units using my household internet connection, today when I try to send an email from my ipad I get a pop-up stating server does not recognize the email address, but I can send emails from my iphone using the same internet connection. When I checked the settings both units have the same. Two days ago both units were updated.

    Both devices are using the Home Network. My ISP is  Shaw in Canada. and they will only accept sent email from their subscriber households, for example if I try to send an email from my iphone via 3g it will not be recognized, but will be ok if sent using wi fi at home. I was able to send email prior to doing the last update.

  • Iphoto does not recognize email/password combo

    I'm trying to email some pictures but it keeps saying that iphoto does not recognize my email or password combinations for both mine and my husbands accounts.

    Have you got iPhoto as the email client or Mail?  If iPhoto go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, deelete the email account, reboot, relaunch iPhoto and add the account back. Then try again.
    Or, set Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane. It's a better way to go, IMO, as you have better access to Contacts, get a sent copy automatically and also have photo layouts to use in the Stationary/Photos section of Mail.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion does not to wake up from sleep

    I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro mid 2009 from Lion to Mountain Lion. Everything is ok, but when I try to wake up it from a sleep, white dots fill, only last one remains grey and machine stay forever.
    I really appreciate any suggestions.
    Many thanks!
    Sandro

    My suggestion is that you reinstall Mountain Lion:
    Reinstalling Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • After upgrade firmware my iPod does not respond to touch. Help me!

    After upgrade firmware with iTunes my iPod does not respond to touch.
    To be more precise - works, but very, very bad. And around the icons on the display is visible GRAY line of width 1 px.
    Please HELP me! This iPod - the gift for my girl.
    p.s. Maybe this problem arose because I reflash iPod with old cable from the iPhone?
