Earlybird doesn't want to update

I've been using Earlybird on my Win 7 64-bit laptop for about 18 months. I use EB because Thunderbird crashed every time I tried to open it; EB gets unresponsive every now and again but is otherwise stable. My research at the time indicated that EB was the only 64-bit alternative.
For the last couple of weeks I've been getting intermittent messages that auto updates have failed - along with a link which just leads back to the latest version of Thunderbird. On checking my installation I seem to be on EB 10.0, although the current version seems to be 38. Apparently mine has never updated.
I don't seem to have the original installation file for EB 10.0 so I'm nervous about experimenting in case I replace something that's working with something that doesn't. Should I leave well alone with EB 10.0, or try to manually update - presumably by installing the latest version of EB over the top of the existing version? Or can I try to run the latest version of Thunderbird alongside my existing Earlybird?

Earlybird corresponds to an alpha release and is strictly intended for testing purposes only. It is by no means recommended for production use.
This is what I'd do:
First create a full backup of your profile.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring
Then uninstall Earlybird.
Download the current release version from
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
Install the release version.
Report back if you still having problems.
In case you want to stick with Earlybird you can download the latest version here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel
If you know what you're doing you can also install the release version alongside with Earlybird. In that case make sure to create a separate profile for the release version and make sure not to mix-up profiles.
If that sounds too complicated, better forget about it.

Can you provide more information? What are you trying to update..Apps? To a higher version of iOS? What happens when you try to update whatever it is you are trying to update?

HT4623 Im having problems with my music ever since I got the ITunes Match, now I'm not able to listen to some songs and my ipod doesn't want to update the iOS saying something about my network and I'm hooked up to the internet?

I was just have difficults in different things on my ipod touch 4th gene now that I have ITune Match and it not being able to update the iOS 6.1.5 and as to not sure of what I can do to get it to update and get all my songs back. Because right now I have at least 20 or 30 songs that I cant play now and I'm not sure why. I'm not even able to click on the songs and I wanted to see if there was a way to fix this without restore my ipod and starting over.

Maybe this:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Windows PC iCloud doesn't show as a device in photostream; also doesn't want to update since Aug 7

Windows 8.1 PC w/iCloud 4.0 for PC installed does not want to show as an installed device when I check the online iCloud sight. Is it supposed to show as an installed device under the iCloud?
Also, the photostream has not updated itself since August 7.

Slider doesn't want to update

I've connected a local variable to a slider indicator. Now I want to change this local variable, so that the indicator shows the new value. When I start the VI, the indicator sometimes works and sometimes not.
I've got the idea, that the slider mostly doesn't work, when I call the VI with the slider the second time during the execution of a programm. But I can't say for sure...
When I change the slider to a "normal" indicator (that shows only numbers but no bars) everything works fine. How can I use the slide bar indicator???
Philipp

I'm not quite sure exactly what kind of behavior you are referring to. I tried to test this, but my VI seemed to work fine. I am attaching what I built. Run this on your machine and see if you experience the same behavior you see with your VI.

Firefox doesn't want to update

Hello,
I'm currently running Firefox 8.0. When I go to "About Firefox", Firefox checks for updates and then displays "Firefox is up to date" even though the current release is 9.0.1.
How do I get it to update? I know I can download the installer myself but I'd like to know why Firefox isn't doing it by itself.
For your information, Thunderbird updated successfully to 9.0.1. And Firefox is set up to automatically check for updates.
Thanks!

Okay, nevermind. I tried for maybe the 10th time and it worked.
I guess the update takes quite a while to be available or maybe the whole process is a little capricious...
Too bad I can't find a way to delete my whole post...

How can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
Hope this helps

J'ai changé mon id. Je veux mettre à jour mes appli mais on me demande le pwd de mon ancien id que j'ai oublié. Je ne peux pas le récupérer. Il semblerait que mon ancien id n'existe plus. que dois je faire?

Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

[Solved]Last update broke my X. Now it doesn't want to start

Hi everyone,
I updated my 64 bit Arch today, and when i rebooted the X server didn't start. When I type in "startx" I am getting error message which says something like "Failed to load module nvidia (module requirement missmatch, 0)", but i can load nvidia module with "modprobe nvidia" then when I type in "startx" again everything is the same. How do I overcome this problem. I think I have been using this version of nvidia driver since 2011-08-17 but today my kernel version changed. Can this be the problem and what should I do in this case? I tried downloading the same driver from the nvidia site, so I can build it on my system with the new kernel but I ended up with the same error. I'm thinking of trying the new 285 BETA driver but probably this won't help either. Please give me some hints on what should I do. If this is not the proper place for my post, please excuse me

Thank you laloch, this did the job, but triggered another problem ->
Buttons problem: http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/5505 … 11436r.png
the buttons outlines don't show up and the background of the dock at the bottom is also broken and so is the windows titlebar. Is this somehow related to the IgnoreABI option or is the driver incompatible with the new kernel? I am using compiz btw... but everything elese seems to be working good(except that xbmc doesn't want to start).

Hi lesleyfromjohannesburg,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone is not turning on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

Just updated to OS X 10.9.3 on iMac. Update restart doesn't want iMac to boot.

Just updated to OS X 10.9.3 on iMac. Update restart doesn't want iMac to boot. Hanging since. Got a pink screen after update and then hangs at progress indicator. Tried all, also safe mode, and after start up in Safe Mode the indicator spins of 25s, indicator stops spinning and hangs. Been hanging now for 23 minutes...!

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

HT4623 I updated my iphone to the newest update but now it doesn't want to read my SIM card. Help!

I updated my iphone to the newest update but now it doesn't want to activate. It says the sim card I have it's not valid and that I need to insert the som card that came with my phone. Problem is my phone was given to me by a friend of mom's and he just gave me the phone I had to buy a new sim card. It has been working all right until now. Should I go buy a new sim card? Help!

Your phone is locked to a carrier. Only a SIM from that carrier can be used to activate the phone. Ask the "friend of your mom's" to which carrier the phone is locked. You'll then need to contact that carrier and see if you are eligible to have the phone unlocked. If not, the phone is useless to you.
