How do I get Thunderbird to connect to a properly-configured Office 365 mail account after shutting down and then restarting the client?

I get my Office 365 account set up and working in Thunderbird. I can download and send mail just fine using the auto-detect or manual account settings recommended by Microsoft/Outlook/Office 365. Everything appears to be working as it should as long as the client stays open. When I shut the Thunderbird client down and restart it, it can no longer access the Office 365 mail account. I get a popup error message:
The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account (my Office 365 account) responded: User is authenticated but not connected.
It has no problem connecting to Hotmail, Gmail and other email services, and I can access Office 365 through the web client, but Thunderbird refuses to connect. If I remove the account and re-add it, I can have full access to my email again, but only as long as Thunderbird stays open. If the client gets restarted, it's gone again.
How do I fix this?

I think you might be having a cached password problem. I was having it and was able to resolve by deleting my stored password in Thunderbird. I referenced

On new MBP I keep getting message that I need to shut down and then restart

I just got a new 13" MBP. I took the old 500GB 7200 rpm HD (which was operating perfectly) out of my old 13" white MB and put it in the new MBP. Now at boot I get as far as a gray screen, then I get a black screen with text in several languages saying that I need to shut off and then restart the computer. I went through this drill 5 times with no indication that anything was improving. I am sure that the edge card connector is fully seated on the old HD. Any ideas as to what is happening here?

The Operating System for the old and new machine is different, you can't just swap drives like that, what you're getting is a Kernel Panic.
You need to install the OS from the install discs that came with the new machine onto that hard drive. Boot from your new install DVD (hold c at start) and do an Archive Install of the OS so it saves your user data.

Can't connect to Office 365 mail account via Apple Mail (Exchange)

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite, but had this problem before upgrading as well. I have an Office 365 mail account, but cannot sync it via Apple Mail. I went into my Apple Mail accounts and tried connecting my Office 365 account through the Exchange option, but it will not connect. From my knowledge, this is not an uncommon problem but it is very inconvenient. Is there any way to get around the glitch, or anything I should be doing differently? I do know a couple people with Office 365 accounts who have been able to make it work, but they apparently did not do anything differently when setting up their account.

Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings.
2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
3. Reindex messages.
4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.

When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect. I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects. I am running Lion 10.7.3 Any thoughts?

Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

I have a macbook pro 13" 2011, When my computer boots I get code on my boot up screen and then my computer shuts off and then restarts. Its an endless loop, as my computer tries to boot up.

I have a Macbook Pro 13", that was purchased in 2010-2011. So randomly yesterday, when I boot up my computer I got to the boot screen, then code popped up on my screen. ** I have attached an image of the code below.** But after the code pops up, my computer shuts down, and tries to boot up again. This is an endless loop and doesn't get passed the boot screen. The code shows up everytime.
I personally believe this might be a software issue and not a hardware. Please feel free to shoot out any ideas or a translation of what the code is referring to.
THINGS I HAVE ALREADY DONE:
- Reset the PRAM by holding CMD+Option+P+R
- Gone into Safemode and tired to verify the Harddrive.
- Please don't comment saying, "take out the battery." , "hold the power button for.." , None of that sh#* works.
Below is three different links for the same image. (just in case, **** breaks).

What happens if you boot holding the command S keys down?
If it stays running in single user mode
try the command
fsck -fy
You could try holding the option key on bootup, to see if presents you with a startup disk however
It looks as if you need to reistall the OS.

How do I get Thunderbird to allow me to choose SMTP than IMAP when reinstalling after a system crash?

I had a system crash in Jan. After the crash recovery (Windows had written over parts of the disc but recovered most things; however, they were set to states as if they had just been installed), Thunderbird did something I was unhappy with & I reinstalled it. When I did, it did not allow me to select IPOP or IMAP but came up with IMAP, which I had never used before & knew nothing about. However, now having read about IMAP & having used it with Comcast, I dislike it intensely--it's slow & cumbersome & doesn't allow me to save emails with everything permanently attached to them. I haven't had the time to pursue it until now. How can I get back to using IPOP?

POP and IMAP are the two incoming mail protocols.
SMTP is the outgoing mail protocol.
Maybe when Apple invents their own email protocol it will be iPOP like all their other iSomethings
Here are the instructions for switching Thunderbird from IMAP to POP..

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why when I have 3 tabs open and when I close one tab, all tabs shut down and crashes? The it asks me to restore or not? How do I fix this issue?

I open the firefox and open 3 tabs, when i close 1 tab, all will close down and crashes then it tells me to restart or close. It was never like this!!! How do I fix this problem.

Try to disable Norton addons in Firefox. They will be releasing an update at the end of the month to fix these crashes.

My iPad isn't working properly. When I try to connect to the internet or follow a link it shuts down and returns to the main screen. Any clue as to what could be causing this? Not my internet connection, I checked that.

My iPad isn't working. I cannot follow a link in an email or connect to a game. It goes to a black screen then back to the main screen. Any idea what could be causing this?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

How do I get aperture to automatically insert a .png overlay onto incoming photos from a tethered camera and constantly view the incoming photos in full-screen without retreating back into gallery?

As per the discussion title, I would like to be able to shoot with a tethered camera that will input images and display right away on my Mac on full screen, with each incoming photo display as such without ever going back to gallery view, and in each instance a .png graphics template is automatically overlayed on each photo that enters aperture such that when I print every photo the graphic template will appear on print.
Is aperture able to do this on its on? If so, how?
If not, is Apple script the only way to make this possible?

Would it then be possible to direct aperture tethered shoots to a folder where aperture will hot import, from which I can use action after import via the scrip as you mention?
I've seen it being done with my own eyes but I wasn't able to inquire more...

See ''tmaca's'' post, 3rd one up from the bottom. He seems to think you can update it manually: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822003#answer-184670
Officially though, we're still at this stage: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808 Norton product compatibility with Firefox Updates]
If you want to revert to the previous secure version, do the following. 
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
