EVERY time I start Thunderbird, a new installation window opens

Every time I open Thunderbird a new installation window (file extraction) opens as well. Whether I proceed through to finish or cancel, the result is the same. Thunderbird appears to be working normally in every other way, but this window opens each and every time I open a new session - please help!!!

Hey There Christ1 -
The target ended up being right, so I disabled addons and renabled them one by one hoping I would find the problem. As it turned out, when I finally got down to ReminderFox (one of my faves :-( that one triggered this reaction every time, so unfortunately until the developer comes up with a fix for that, I've just kept it disabled... Thanks again for your help - and anyone else who may be having this problem, try disabling this add on for now (bummer)!
Thanks again everyone!

After upgrading my iphone 4S to iOS 7 every time the automatic backup on my iCloud account start it requests to verify my Apple ID password.

Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 every day when I put my iPhone in charge and it starts my backup in my iCloud account, it request me to verify my Apple ID password.
Every day I have to put my password to make the backup start.
I have enough space on my account to make the backup.
I have an iPad 4, updated to iOS 7 too, but with it I don't have the same issue when backing up in the iCloud.
I'm only experiencing this issue with the iPhone.
I already tried to restore complitely my iPhone and turned off and on again iCloud.
Thank you for your help.
Regards

An update - it was just taking too long to copy all the data again to the phone so I stopped the copy. Then I was able to complete the setup of the phone and most of the data was there -- just not the music I had selected. Not a problem, at least I can make calls.
Next step will be to update the phone again (when I've sufficiently recovered from my annoyance) and add the music I want.
Otherwise, I'm okay with the interface. No big problems.

Ive been trying to export or share my imovie video and every time the i movie crashes and its just pulls up a report. I need to export this movie now and it is fairly complicated please help me. It even crashes when ever i try to play it on full screen

My i movie keeps on crashing when ever i try to share it or play it in fullscreen . How do i save it and not loose the movie!

Hi
This is bit of a Nightmare situation - and there can be a zillion reasons for why it goes wrong. See if You might find help in my list.
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

I lost the airplay Icon

I lost my airplay icon. So I tried to run the Diagnostic test, But then iTunes completly stops. How do I solve this?

Can someone please tell me how to solve this. I tried the following:
- Remove all Apple software and reinstall
- Remove LAN adapter en reinstall it
- Un check TCP/IPv6 and restart
- Turn on and of my Airplay enabled Marantz receiver
- Restart my router
I have other device: iPhone, Windows 8 laptop and Windows 7 laptop. They all have the Airplay icon.
Only my Windows 7 desktop PC doesn’t have the icon.
If I locate an mp3 file on my desktop and right click it then I can select my Marantz receiver to stream the file to it, and it works just fine. But I want to use iTunes to stream my music files to my Marantz receiver.
It used to work. But it doesn't any more. Please help me...I have been busy with this for so many hours now!

Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
do you know why and how to solve this problem?

Hi Colin,
A couple of things you can try:
Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
See if one of these actions will help.

HT204291 My apple tv is not airplaying to any of my devices - the airplay icon is completely gone! I've reset apple tv, checked home sharing is on, checked my wifi connection is active but still no luck? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

- the airplay icon is completely gone! I've reset apple tv, checked home sharing is on, checked my wifi connection is active, no firewalls, but still no luck? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

What IOS and OS are you using Elissa. I think from your post it used to work but has dropped off, is that correct or has it never worked? If it did wotk has anything changed? Check your wifi use with sopmething like istumbler to see if it is being used by neighbours etc?

Where Is the Airplay Icon (for audio) on my iPhone 4? - And Other Issues

For the most part I'm pretty pleased with iOSv4.2 for both my iPads and iPhones. Folders, multitasking, all great improvements. But perhaps the most exciting new feature is "Airplay" from my iPad and, I wish, from my iPhone as well. To bad it's gimpy...
Never mind the fact that Airplay doesn't work with my original AppleTV - I think that's a raw deal, but hey, that's the way Apple rolls us into its version of the future. So ATV2 is already ordered and en-route.
I'll get to video and photos eventually, but for now I'm mostly concerned about sending music wirelessly from my iGizmos to speaker systems around the house. I have two Airport Express units, and those show up in Airplay on my iPad, so I know the system is working.
So here are the issues I'm having with Airplay:
1) I'm posting here because my biggest issue is that I do not see Airplay on my iPhone 4 updated to iOSv4.2. Even when using the iPod app on the iPhone, when I swipe to the controls in multitasking mode, there is no Airplay icon. It seems to me I should be able to send audio - either stored or streaming - from my iPhone to my Airports (as I can with my iPad), but I cannot. BTW, I DID see the Airplay icon briefly yesterday - when I had a bluetooth stereo headset activated, the Airplay icon appeared and gave me the choice of the headset or the iPhone. But I never did see an option to connect with my Airports.
2) When using Airplay from the iPad, I was only permitted to select ONE Airport device at a time. Huh? With Airplay in iTunes on my desktop, I have the option of sending the signal to as many devices as I want at one time. Is there some reason I cannot do that with my iOSv4.2? Seems to me they should operate in the same manner, why the oversight? Eventually I will need to connect multiple sound systems to one source.
3) As others have reported in this space, I am experiencing intermittent signal when listening to audio from my v4.2 enable iPad. It gets pretty annoying. I will continue to monitor these threads and see if I can get to the crux of the issue.
I recall reading that the release v4.2 was delayed somewhat in part because of "WiFi issues," and it would appear to me that those issues were not entirely resolved prior to the actual release. I'm glad they went ahead and released it, because the other features I've alluded to are a big improvement, but now that they've tempted me with these new possibilities, I expect it all to work well.
Are we taking bets on the release of iOSv4.2.2 ?
Thanks,
--PS

Mini Man, I'm glad to read you found a solution to your issue, but I don't know if your solution is going to be mine as well.
For starters, I do not have the new Apple TV - at least, not yet. I have ordered one, but it will not be delivered until some time next week (sneering glance at Steve & Co. for abandoning that platform rather than making it AirPlay compatible).
But that is not really my issue: my issue is that my two Airport Express units do NOT show up in the iPhone, though the DO show up on my iPad. This tells me they have been properly configured (both units have names, and are connected to the house network), so there must still be something missing from the equation.
And, judging from the response of a few others who have chimed in here, I think it's save to say that the experience is not altogether uncommon.
I'm surprised nobody has come back with a more direct solution to the common issue. I may have to call AppleCare someday this week...

My safari is not working. Every time i click on it says to reopen or dont reopen. i press reopen i gives me this long screen and it says reopen or press okay. when i press ok it closes the box and doesnt open. when i press reopen the long screen stay

. Every time i click on it says to reopen or dont reopen. i press reopen i gives me this long screen and it says reopen or press okay. when i press ok it closes the box and doesnt open. when i press reopen the long screen and stays like that.

If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Why does the airplay icon not appear after upgrading to Mavericks on my iMac.

I am using an Apple TV, iPad 2, and an iMac with wifi sharing enabled. Before upgrading to mavericks I was easily able to use airplay to mirror the display of my ipad2 to a projector. After the upgrade the airplay icon will dispear. When I restart the wifi sharing on my imac then the airplay icon will reappear on my ipad.
Does anyone have a fix for this. I use this in my classroom and this problem made yesterdays lesson almost undoable because students were givng presentations and each time a student wanted to project thier ipad screen I had to reset my wifi.

Why do I not see the Airplay icon on any device?

Hello everyone
None of my Apple devices show the Airplay icon anymore. The devices I have are :
* Apple TV 2nd Gen (MC572B/A - v5.3)
* MacBook Mid 2007 13-in running OS X Lion 10.7.5
* MacBook Late 2009 13-in running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
* 2x iPhone 4S (both running iOS 6.1.3)
Other non-Apple devices are 2x 2013 Amazon Kindles, a PS3, Sky HD+ Box w/Wireless Receiver.
I received my Apple TV in Christmas 2011 and I had not noticed a problem with Airplay until I got Sky in February 2013. My network was running on WEP connection as both of the MacBooks had problems using WPA/WPA2 connections when initially setting up the Wifi a couple of years before. It turned out that the Sky box would only play with a WPA connection. It's from here that Airplay stopped working. Previously we could use everything associated with Airplay - stream music from all devices, send pictures and video, and also stream content from iTunes to the Apple TV including films and TV Programmes. Our Apple devices can now connect to the Internet using a WPA connection (the 2007 MacBook cycles for a long time but that is another issue) so this is not a problem, and it's worth noting that all of my non-Apple devices work absolutely perfectly and always have done (also including previous smartphones etc).
I have tried the following solutions :
* http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215 (Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring);
* Changing the DNS Servers (Unsuccessful);
* Restarting the Router (AirPlay icon showed for less than 15 minutes before disappearing again);
* Restarting Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
* Toggling AirPlay in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
* Deleting the WiFi network in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
* Deleting the WiFi network on my 2007 MacBook and manually adding it (Unsuccessful);
* Deleting the WiFi network on both iPhone 4S' (Unsuccessful);
* Removing the Firewall from my router (Unsuccessful);
* Changing the security options on my router (Unsuccessful);
* Powering off all devices and back on (Unsuccessful);
* NOTE : Home Sharing is turned ON and is visible on Apple TV;
What else can I try that isn't listed? A follow up question is if I bought an Airport Express (I don't want to tbh), would that immediately solve the lack of AirPlay and cycling issues?
Thanks in advance

Just to finish this discussion off, the issue was 100% the router firmware. Please see the below, direct from the support pages of www.plus.net :
The 585v8 v8.2.7.7 firmware is known to cause wi-fi connectivity problems with certain Apple computers. To fix this problem we recommend that you upgrade to v8.2.7.8 that features updated wi-fi drivers from the chipset manufacturer. No official upgrade tool exists for Apple computers so you may need to reflash the firmware using a Windows computer instead.
I did this yesterday after borrowing a PC and it fixed all of the issues I was having - no Airplay icons, cycling for wifi networks, dropped connections - all of these righted themselves after a firmware update.
The reason it wasn't the first thing tried was that I was under the impression that a) my router had up to date firmware as it wasn't clear on my ISP's website, and b) that my router firmware would have updated automatically as there was no option to update on my routers settings page.
The WEP security issues were a bit of a red herring tbh. When I first joined my ISP downgrading the security was the advice given after I experienced initial connection problems, but this was probably due to a lack of updated firmware at the time - the issues had to be related to security which would have been solved by an open network. Obviously this is not ideal, so a WEP connection was a wobbly middle ground.
Thanks for everyone's help.

I just had the same problem. Took the first unit back and the problem is still occuring on the second one. I solved it by setting up again with the USB, but it keeps dropping out every few days.

HT204291 3th. gen apple TV with 5.2.1 and mac mini with 10.8.3, only black screen on TV after selecting Apple TV on the airplay icon. how to troubleshoot?

I have a 3th Gen Apple TV and a late 2012 mac mini with IOS 10.8.3
- Connected thru HDMI to an ASUS monitor
- Apple tv connected with wire
- Mac Mini connected wireless.
- I can see the Airplay icon on the screen
- I can select my apple TV on the icon pull-down menu (first time it asked me for apple TV password)
- Once selected, my monitor resolution changes and apple TV goes to a blank screen. On the pull-down menu, my apple TV papears selected and the option "match desktop size to:" is selected for my Apple TV.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
Additional Info:
- I can stream from iTunes music with no problem
- From an Air (on same wireless network) I can mirror my display. And form iPad and iPhone I can stream video and music.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.
