How do I back up my entire Thunderbird account and all emails?

Thunderbird has been having more and more crashes and I think I may have to uninstall it and put in back on the computer. Before I do that, I want to back up all my emails. I am having difficulty with that. The emails are coming from an AOL address. Everything else on the computer backs up to the cloud. Thanks

Your data is all in your Thunderbird profile. If you reinstall Thunderbird, it will just continue using the same profile, since, in theory at least, profiles are untouched by installing or deleting Thunderbird. So, you may not need to do anything in order to "back up your emails" as they should just stay in place. OTOH, the profile itself might be the reason for issues in Thunderbird.
Regardless of all this, it's a good idea to back up your profile from time to time.

It is just a folder, so you can back it up by copying it in your file manager. If you copy messages to the Local Folders account beforehand, they will also be downloaded and available to your backup, if you are not happy relying on just the cloud for backup.

How do I back up my entire iphoto library to an external hard drive that I have dedicated for photos only? Can I simply drag the iphoto library onto my seagate (hard drive) icon?

How do I back up my entire iphoto library on to an external hard drive that will be my second back up plan. I already have one back up that is also synched with time machine. But now I want to back up my iphoto library to a new hard drive to have a second copy. Can I simply drag the whole library onto the icon on my desk top? THX

WHile you can do it that way, the next time you back up you'll end up copying the entire library again, and,as you'l see, once a library gets bigger that can take a considerable amount of time.
Try using an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Oh!
First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
Best of luck!

How can i back up voicemails on my pc and then be able to listen to them

How can I back up voicemails to my PC and then be able to listen to them on my PC (click and play in quick-time or similar player vs storing in some type of unreadable file type)? I have googled and the only solution seems to involve buying a program. If so, what is the best program to purchase?

How to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?

What is the best way to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?
I want to move it smoothly without hours of reconfiguring albums and Mobileme galleries. Already have a timemachine backup of the older iMac with the iphoto library.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Family shares an itunes account and ALL songs loaded on my phone with ios 7. how do I get only my songs?

My family shares an itunes account and ALL their songs loaded on my phone with ios 7 upgrade. Previously, while I could SEE songs "Not on this iPhone" they did not reside on my phone. How do I get only my songs? Do I have to sync with my computer? Help...

This is sad, as I am replying to myself. Upon further review I see that while all songs are LISTED, that are not actually there. By going to Settings - iTunes & App Store - "Show All" I was able to "turn off" SEEING purchases not made on my phone. Solved my own problem, but the way it looks in IOS 7 is confusing.
