I cannot print from Thunderbird but i can with Windows live mail

About a year ago I discontinued using Thunderbird because suddenly I could not print anything inThunderbird anymore. Now I use Windows Live Mail and printing emails is not a problem. Recently I installed Thunderbird again but still I cannot print emails using Thunderbird.

Dear Matt,
Thanks for your help.
Being a layman, I am reluctant to follow your advice without assistance of a specialist.
To prevent a misunderstanding I will try to summarize what happened.
1) After using Thunderbird for a long time and having no problem at all to print emails, suddenly I could not print emails anymore.
2) I do not have the same problem with Firefox nor with any other program.
3) I have only one printer.
4) After the problem occurred System recovery was used- for another reason - to start with a clean slate. Thunderbird was reinstalled: but still I could not print emails. When I use windows live mail I can print emails.
Does this change your advice?
Thanks in advance.

No Sync of contacts+calender since upgrade to iTunes 7.7 and/or iPhone 2.0

Windows Vista, Outlook 2007, iTunes 7.7, iPhone 2.0
After Upgrading to iTunes 7.7 and iPhone 2.0 neither my contacts nor my calender syncs anymore.
Often (but not allways), when connecting iPhone to my PC, I am getting the error "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try later"
When this happens, most of the time (but not always) my entries for syncing calender,contacts etc. under "Info" are missing. In these cases synching is not possile at all.
In those rare occasions, when the entries are not missing, ...
... synchronizing takes > 30 Minutes (much longer then before the update)
... new calender and contact data in Outlook are ot syncronized to iPhone and vice versa
Note:
1. De- and Re-Installing iTunes (íncl. Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update und Quicktime) did not solve the problem
2. Resetting the sync history did not solve the problem
3. Deleting data backup did not solve the problem
4. When Syncronizing at a different windows user I do not receive the error "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services", but still: syncing does not work!
5. On my iPhone there are 2 calenders: Home and "Outloook Calender"
6. There were backups of two different iPhones in my iTune (which I have deleted)
7. All podcasts were gone from my iPhone - after resetting the sync history there were transfered by to iPhone
8. Right after the update, iTunes wanted to update each contact in Outlook (which I did not allow) - after resetting the sync history this message did not appear again
Anyone any idea? I love my iPhone but when I cannot trust that data is not in synch between Outlook an IPhone its not much more than a mobile phone!

I ran into this the first immeidately after upgrading to 7.7 (at least the calendars, I didn't have much of an issue with contacts). Long story short, I think it has to do with the "Home" sub-calendar it creates. Removing this and redirecting new events back to Calendar does not resolve the issue. It seems that whatever it does, corrupts the Outlook Data File (PST file) permenently.
Fortunately for me, my profile at home is very simple and I only use it to sync personal events and contacts. I tried a number of "fixes" including resetting the sync history in iTunes, rebooting multiple times etc. What fixed it for me was the following (though I would only recommend it if you know what you are doing as you can mess up your entire outlook profile if you don't). This is the short short version of these instructions... if you don't know how to accomplish these steps I'd suggest asking someone that does. BTW, this only deals with a simple profile with calendars and contacts. If your profile contains a lot of additional personal information that the iPhone does not support (notes, etc.) you will need to export these folders into individual files for later import into the reconstructed PST file.
1) Disconnect the iPhone and close everything down (iTunes, Outlook, etc), make a backup of your PST file just in case things go wrong.
2) Create a new data file and set it as the default.
3) Open iTunes (before connecting the iPhone again) and click the Reset Sync History button in the preferences.
4) Open up outlook just to make sure the new profile is working, then close it again.
5) Connect the phone to have it sync your contacts and calendars back to outlook.
6) The sync of both contacts and calendars should work correctly now.
Again, please note that these instructions left a lot of detail out concerning the individual steps. If you need help with these I'd suggest seeking out someone that has some experience with this process for help to reduce the risk of losing data in the process.
The bottom line for me was that it seemed that recreating the PST file and reimporting the data (not just copying the whole file into a new one) fixed the issue for me. Obviously, one would hope that Apple devises a better solution than this in the long term.

How do I get contact list from windows live to ipad

I have no idea how to get contacts from other email accounts.
How do you save email addresses that are sent to you?

You can use a 3rd party app like Photo Transfer App.

How can I get two lines mail list like Windows Live Mail and How can I get to, cc, bcc lines like Windows Live Mail?

I wish to move Thunderbird. But i have two main problem.
* I want two lines mail lis like Live Mail,
* I want to, cc, bcc line like Live Mail. I mean when, I write an e-mail address I will key "," (or another character) then I will enter next email address. Auto address completion must work for each address which I enter the address line.
Can i do those on Thunderbird?
I searched on the internet and there are much people who want this features.
Thanks..

I see the dropdown menus for CC and BCC, but they don't work. I click on them and there is no response except the name I already had in the "TO" field disappears! The attached screenshots shows the name in the "to" field, then the result after choosing "add CC" - the "to" name disappears.

Contacts Sync with Windows Live Mail 2011

I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Live Mail 2011 desktop application for email and contacts. Is it possible to sync the contacts in my Windows Live Mail 2011 application with my iPhone (iOS v4) using iTunes?
In Windows Vista, I used Windows Mail which stored contacts data in the Contacts folder within my profile (c:\users\username\contacts). These contacts did sync with my iPhone without any problems. Windows 7 doesn't have an email application built-in so, I'm using Windows Live Mail 2011. Windows Live Mail 2011 doesn't store contacts in the Contacts folder within my profile though. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone with my Windows Live Mail 2011 contacts?
Thanks,
Matt

Found this with a quick Google search:
To sync contacts with your computer, choose Sync Contacts on your Windows-based PC, or Sync Contacts with Address Book on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
* Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
* Windows Address Book (Windows XP and Windows Vista)
* Address Book (Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later)
* Microsoft Entourage 2004 or Microsoft Entourage 2008
So it looks like the answer is no, you can't sync your contacts with Windows Live Mail 2011.

ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
Symptoms:
1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced?? Thanks!
PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
but doesn't help with this problem.

I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail. OR
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

Syncing iphone calendar with Windows Live Mail

Hi guys - I just upraded to Windows 7 and I'm looking to see if it's possible to sync the calendar with the Windows Live Mail calendar? I'm thinking the only option at this time is MS Outlook, but just thought I'd ask. I searched and read through 3 other similar questions on here but didn't find any answer, hence the new post. Thanks!

Microsoft copied Google and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides Push access for received messages and for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

yup what? I asked a question...

TS1347 IPhone5 on 6.1.4 - missing named contacts on contact list. Can see missing named contacts when messaging, but when selected come up as only phone numbers in the sent to window. What is resolution? Can I sync only contact list from to iTunes backup?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If most of them are gone, then they are gone.
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone?

How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone? My contact list is in Microsoft Outlook. I want to go from laptop to iphone and not vice versa.

I use iCloud to sync calendar and contacts using Outlook 2010 on my Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 desktop, an iPhone 5S, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 4. For example if I make a change/add/delete a contact on my iPhone 5S the change is reflected over on the other devices basically instantaneously...

You need to setup iCloud on an iOS device first...

HT1338 How do I upload photos to my contact list ?

How do I upload photos to my contact list for Mac Pro Retina?
When I downloaded the photos from my camera, I thought they would go to My Pictures as they did in the past. They are now in a section called "media". Not sure about how that works either. How do I send photos directly from the Media category. I highlighted and clicked share, added the email address. It said it was sent but they all came back as mail 'failure'. thanks for any info! Chalicedelis

Hi,
I have a Folder called "Pictures" (My Pictures seems a bit "Windowsy" to me)
I don't have a Media folder inside there.
It would help to know if this is actually within the iTunes Library
Having said that I tend to use Eric's Method.
Pic of My own Card in the Contacts list
It shows where I have used Faces (from iPhoto) and Defaults (Login pic choices for the Account pic).
My iChat/Messages pic is the same Signature pic as used here and is in the Recents Tab on show.
You can even use the Camera if one is attached (Mac Minis and Mac Pro require External Cameras).
Drag and Drop is my preferred method.

Z 30 not syncing all contact lists

Hello,
I had all my contacts synced between my z 30 and my outlook ( laptop running VISTA), I got a new laptop recently ( running Windows 8.1 ) , when I tried syncing my contacts with outlook on the new Laptop it just synced the contacts on the Local Contact list, I have several contact lists on my Z30,
Is there a way to sync the conatcs of all the lists between z30 and outlook ?
Thanks,

Sounds like a good reason to take advantage of iCloud support. I'm having issues with my calendar and find their support invaluable.
Click Support in the Apple menu top right of the Apple.com site.
Then Contact Us "Start here"
Scroll down to iCloud and click "Use Express Lane for iCloud"
iCloud in column 2 should be selected, then click the button in column 3 that pertains. Probably: Contacts, Calendar & Reminders.
Put in your serial number if you get that window and just follow the prompts until you get to Chat. Click that and you'll get an Advisor that you can tell you issue to.
Great live help there.
Hope that helps.
Steven
