All of my accounts display "Invalid account" and I can't access settings. How do I fix this?

This has been a problem for a while now, but it wasn't always like this. One day, it just happened! Everything else seems to work okay, and I can still read and write mail, but accessing account settings for any of them is broken.
I already followed the steps provided by Mozilla to "rebuild the global database" hoping it would help, but it did not. I attached an image of what my problem looks like, as well as the troubleshooting information provided by Thunderbird. I had to screenshot the PDF pages, hope you don't mind.
Please help me get things back to normal! Thanks in advance. :-)

Well, the Thunderbird team just released on March 20 an update to the beta channel. My problem is now mysteriously fixed! Don't know why...but maybe some obscure setting under the hood was reset when the upgrade went through.

  • I changed my apple ID but when I open iCloud it still has my old ID and I can't log in, how do I fix this?

    I changed my apple ID but when I open iCloud it still has my old ID and I can't log in, how do I fix this?

    Hello scottyme1,
    In order to sign out of your iCloud account that had a ID change, you would need to change the account back to the original. The reason for that is probably due to the Find my device feature and it needs to verify and if that iCloud account does not exist because of the name change and you cannot sign out. Changing it back is pretty easy and should not ask you to verify but once you change it and sign out, you can change it back to what you want it to be. Take a look at the article below to walk you through this.

    I bought my iMac from someone. Everything was changed over to my name however when I try to update programs it only shows the old users apple ID and I can't update. How do I change this so I can update the applications and have everything fully under me?

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

    Hi kmkrodel,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues accessing iCloud on your Mac or iPad after a change in your Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting
    On the other hand, if you are talking about sharing files from your Mac to specific apps on your iPad via iTunes, then this article may be of more use (Note: When using this function, you will only see apps that support file sharing, not all apps on the device):

    Thanks for the link. It is a wealth of good info.  I still haven't been able to determine what caused my crash, but with the link you provided I should be able to track it down.  Hopefully it was just a one time thing.  After using the power button and rebooting all seems ok now.  Thanks again.

  • When I'm in LR and click edit in PS CS6, I lose my edits and presets once in PS.  How do I fix this?

    When I'm in LR and click edit in PS CS6, I lose my edits and presets once in PS.  How do I fix this?

    OK, as you noted, the problem began when you upgraded to LR6, but you did not upgrade PS. LR6 needs Photoshop to have Camera Raw 9.0 for full compatibility. But, there is a workaround. Normally, LR passes the raw file and the adjustment metadata to PS for rendering using PS's camera raw, but LR can render the file as well. Here are the steps to take:
    1. Edit > Preferences > General. Under "Prompts," choose "Reset all warning dialogs."
    2. Now choose "Edit in Photoshop." You should see something similar to this warning dialog; choose "Render using Lightroom."
    In this way, all the adjustments you made in LR will be rendered and the already rendered file will be passed to Photoshop.
    Note the checkbox "Don't show again." You may have checked this once before, which is why you may not see the warning dialog. The reset in step 1 brings this warning back in case you've dismissed it.
    Hope that helps!
    Mike

  • IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
    I did some troubleshooting..
    I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
    Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
    Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
    BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
    So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

  • I have enabled all cookies, yet some sites say cookies need to be enabled for me to get access. How do I fix this?

    I have enabled all cookies, yet some sites say cookies need to be enabled for me to get access. How do I fix this?

    First check the settings and try all of the options in the [[websites say cookies are blocked]] article.
    In addition to the above, another possible cause is the file that stores cookies is corrupt, if that is the case deleting the file should fix the problem. First you need to locate your profile folder, for details of how to do that see the [[profiles]] article. Once you have opened the profile folder, close Firefox and either delete or rename cookies.sqlite, when you restart Firefox that file will be re-created.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.
