I want to change from Outlook to Thunderbird without losing data or email files - how can I do this?

I bought a Dell Inspiron in February when my old computer (with XP Pro and Outlook 2007) crashed. Now I have Windows 7 with Outlook 2013, which is proving to be a disaster. A colleague recommended I go to Thunderbird and forget all about Outlook. I have quite a number of files and emails in my Outlook folders and don't want to lose them if I make the switch. How can I achieve this?
Also, my wife uses Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 on her lap top. Our email addresses are very similar: [email protected] and [email protected] , which may explain some of the problems we've been having: And we use the same password, as we have always done. If Coralie stays with Outlook and I come over to Thunderbird would there be a compatibility problem? I am not too savvy with IT stuff and my wife even less so, so your help IN SIMPLE terms would be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Sylvan Bonett

Your email accounts are separate and distinct so there is no issue with any apparent similarity (unless you have done something out of the ordinary such as setting one up as an alias for the other.)
Transferring messages between email programs is rarely straightforward since there are no agreed standards for interchange of email content.
However as you're both using gmail, then you may not have a problem. If the account uses IMAP, the messages and the folders they are in are actually stored on the server, so which client (Outlook, Thunderbird or something else) you use is largely irrelevant.
If you are not currently using IMAP, then you could set up the account again, using IMAP and alongside the existing account, and simply move messages from the old to the new. This will have the effect of moving them back to the server, so they will be available to you in Thunderbird or any other email client.
I'd simply set up the account in Thunderbird, using IMAP, and see what I can see. If the messages are all there, job done. If not, set up the account in Outlook but using IMAP, and move the messages.

I heard that apple upgrades recently purchased ipad 3 to 4. How can I implement this ?

Please

Apple have a 14 day returns period for items bought from them, though some US stores are/were apparently allowing 30 days. If you bought it from a different store then you will need to check that store's returns policy.

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

Hi Tatilopez86,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may want to try the steps in the following articles:

I am trying to find an old mac font. It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9. How can I get this font?

I am trying to find an old mac font. It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9. How can I get this font?

I think that was Tecno. Techno appears to be a whole class of fonts.
Is this the one? http://www.dafont.com/tecno.font
That's a .ttf version which should work OK with current OS.
As an aside, I was searching for Apple Textile for quite some time when it was pointed out to me that it was used by iDVD. Sure enough, opened up the installer package for iDVD with Pacifist and there it was. Now working fine on all my Macs!

For gmail you could try unlocking your account here: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. Don't know about hotmail.

HT1689 i want to change the apple id on my ipad

I want to change the Apple ID associated with this Ipad, how do i do it ?

You can change everything, but it will be frusturating at first. I got my open-box iPad from sams club and it was still associated with some one elses Apple ID.
Go into Settings ----> App store ----> Apple ID
It should change alot. But then you have to change Mail, FaceTime, Messages, Etc.
You could just erase all settings and data and that would give you a much cleaner resualt.

HT204053 I want to change the Apple ID on my iPad

When I first received my iPad as a gift I'd never had an Apple before so I used my hotmail account. Now I want to use the same Apple ID I use on my iPhone but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the Apple ID on my iPad. Can someone explain how to do this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

When I turn on apple tv - my iTunes on my macbook turns on - how can I stop this?

Hello - When I turn on Apple TV - My itunes music on my macbook pro turns on - How can I disable this?

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

My Macbook won't start, and I must reinstall the disk. I haven't used time machine to back up, and I want to use an external drive to back up now. How can i do this from the utilities page?

I am currently in Zambia on missions work and my computer is constantly exposed to heat. I have just been trying to avoid using it during the hottest part of the day. Today though, I started it up and it was stuck on the grey page with the rotating circle for over an hour, then once the circle left, it remained frozen on the gray page. I used command + r at startup to go to the utilities page to analyze the disk. It found that there were problems with the disk, but then it could not fix those problems and told me to backup as much information as I could and reinstall or redo it all. I haven't ever used time machine to back up any of my information, but i have an external drive that I can use right now to backup my files. I can't get into my computer though to backup the files. How can I use this external drive to backup my files while the computer is currently messed up? Please help.

Emergency Backups (Data Recovery)
A)          Format an external disk:
          (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
          Boot in recovery mode (power then Command-R).
                    Alternative: Network recovery boot (power then Command-Option-R keys)
          To format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
          Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
          Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
          Click on Partition.
          Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
          Click on Options…
          Select GUID Partition Table.
          Name: Emergency Backup (or whatever you prefer)
          Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
          Click Apply.
          Click Partition.
B)          Try to boot in Safe Mode (power then Shift key).
          (This will be a slow boot. Be patient.)
          If it won’t boot in Safe Mode, jump to C.
          If it boots in Safe Mode, try to boot in normal mode.
                    If that fixed your problem then start a Time Machine backup.

          If not, boot in Safe Mode again.
          Go > Computer.
          Double click on the system disk.
          Drag the Users folder to the recovery disk.
C)          To clone the disk:
          Boot in recovery mode.
          Select Disk Utility.
          Try to repair the system disk twice.
          Whether or not the repair succeeds:
          Drag and drop the system disk to Source:
          Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
          (Take care not to reverse this order.)
          Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
Once your system is healthy, maintain two reasonably current backups. (Time machine restores can fail.)
Create either two Time Machine backups (good) or one or more Time Machine backup(s) and one or more bootable-clone backup(s) (better).
          Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to create bootable-clone recovery disks.

I want to remove songs from my iMac but leave them in iCloud. How can I do this?

I need to clear space on my HD on my iMac. I have a lot of songs and videos downloaded to my iMac and I want to get them off but leave them in iCloud. How can I do this?

iTunes Match! Activate it (it's about 20$ a year) and all your music will be moved to iCloud. It will be in your iTunes library and iPhone Music app, but it will actually physically be in iCloud. iTunes Match then removes it from your iPhone, saving lots of space, and you can (if you need) delete it manually from your Mac HD. But do keep a copy somewhere, on an external HD or something. Even if it's iCloud , you never know!

HT5552 I want to use my credit card first before using my Store credits. How can I do this?

I want to use my credit card and not use my store credits. This is so I can get $5 cash back if I spend $5 or more on my credit card on itunes. How can I do this. I can't figure it out.

If you can gift that type of item, do so. If not, you can't.
