How do I re-install Thunderbird on my Windows 8 Laptop and also Reset the Profile as I am getting lots of error messages.

My Gmail account works fine..... but what my problem is that my Thunderbird email has during the last 2 weeks stopped recieving and sending Messages and I am totally lost what i need to do. All my configuration settings (Incoming Server and Outgoing Server) are correct as Thunderbird configured these correctly (IMAP) and even confirmed password was ok.
But now 4 problems are occurring
1. Recieve messages not working (but i dont get any error message?)
2. When I try to send a message it comes up with >>> Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail: Could not get password for smtp.googlemail.com. The message was not sent. .
3. When i try to delete a the email account and then re- create it and will not display again in the Thunderbird Menu view eventhough its confirms the GMAIL account is correctly configured and password is ok
Need Help ?....I am totally lost ???? I even tried to reinstalling Thunderbird but that did not seem to fix the problem
Please explain very simply as I am not tech savvy
Thank you

  • I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet.  I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule.  I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

    I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet.  I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule.  I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs.  I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device.  I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using.  It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

    If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
    Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
    On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
    Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
    If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

  • Have installed Airport express using windows vista, unit blinks green, selected the speakers from itunes but get no sound at all, even if I put a headphone in the airport express. Pls advise

    If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
    The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

  • I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop, and I can't open my raw images in camera raw. It worked fine on my old XP computer

    I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop. Why can't I open my raw images in camera raw? Worked fine on my old XP computer

    If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
    Which camera are the camera raw files from?
    After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
    Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
    or
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 32 bit)
    replacing the existing camera raw 8bi?

  • I have tried to update my itunes program. It was running great until I attempted the update now all I get is an error message that says "Itunes was not installed properly, Please reinstall itunes, Error 7 (Windows erroe 126)". What can I do to get my it

    I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
    I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".  I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Installed arch linux on windows 8 laptop and with GNOME

    Hi all,
    I am trying to learn more about linux and decided to go the Arch Linux way. I've battled through a bunch of issues before I got to this point so I might have fudged something along the way.
    The current issue is that I install GNOME, and it boots up into GNOME, and I select my username and type my password, and then I see black screen with blinking cursor for 10 seconds after which I am returned to GNOME login screen. It doesn't do a system reboot before going back to the login screen.
    The only way to stop this is to put in my livecd arch-linux usb drive and then delete GNOME, after which arch linux will boot back into terminal. (I wish I knew how to do this without using the usb drive)
    What should I look at for hints? I don't see any output when this loop happens.
    Thanks!

    Ok that works and I can log in. However I don't see any familiar drives mounted. Anyway, I have the output from journalctl. Here it is

    By the way, I got this file by using startX (becuase otherwise i didnt have permissions), used > to output it to a file, mounted a usb flash drive, copied it to flash drive, used a windows computer to copy the file to my ubuntu laptop (because the folder wouldn't show up in the ubuntu computer) and then posted it here. There has to be a better way to post a debug manage on here.

  • Installing i-tunes on a new laptop and my library has disappeared ... help!

    ... in installing i-tunes on my new laptop and taking all the the latest upgrades has resulted in my i-pod being wiped clean. I still have the music on an external drive (although I think I can kiss goodbye to the playlists).
    I have copied the music files in their i-pod set up folders in to the right directory on the c:drive but the i-tunes software doesn't pick it up and still says the library is empty. I have also been to edit / preferences / advanced and tried changing the folder to recognise the external drive (which is how I had it set up on the old laptop as I ran out of hard disk capacity) but this hasn't worked either.
    Can anyone out there help me find a way of getting I-tunes to recognise these files so I can see them in the library .. and then I assume I can re-synch the i-pod and get them back without having to reload 5000 songs. Even better is there anyway of recovering my original configuration and then I won't have to redo the playlists either
    Look forward to hearing from you
    many thanks

    Well, unfortunately, the external hard drive only stores the music files. The playlists will have been on the old machine, easily recoverable, or on the iPod, possibly recoverable.
    As it is, you may just have to rebuild your library, foregoing your playlists, ratings, etc.
    To do this, go to edit\prefs\advanced, and make sure the following settings are selected:
    DO NOT copy to iTunes folder when adding to library
    DO NOT keep iTunes folder organized
    Now, go to the external, and drag the entire music folder into iTunes.
    Then, go back to edit\prefs\advanced, and change the folder back to the external.
    <hr>
    In the future, consider occasionally saving the two library files (.xml, .itl) from My Music\iTunes to the external.

  • I have just launched icloud on my windows 7 laptop, and stupidly added my outlook email contacts - ie addresses to my icloud contacts. So, there are now 1000's of contacts.  How do I delete these and preserve the original telephone and address contacts,?

    I have just launched icloud on my windows 7 laptop, and stupidly followed the instructions and added my outlook email contacts which come up as email addresses to my whole icloud contacts. So, there are now 1000's of contacts which have now appeared on my iphone.
    How do I delete these email addresses and preserve the original straightforward names with telephone and address contacts?  I am not very technical and am frustrated in my attempts to rectify the situation.
    Thanks

    For your contacts go to settings on your phone - mail contacts and calendars - scroll down to contacts and change display order to the one you want ( you can also change sort order, but ususally people prefer last name first and see if that is what you have).
    For your yahoo emails go on your computer open outlook
    In Outlook 2010, choose File > Accounts.
    Click account settings and confirm the command by clicking "Add and remove accounts or change existing connection settings."
    Select account and click "Change."
    Click "Advanced."
    Click "More Settings."
    Click the "Advanced" tab.
    Enter "7" in the box to the right of "Remove from server after."
    Click OK.
    Close Account Settings.
    If you have outlook 2007
    In Outlook 2007, choose Tools > Account Settings.
    Click the account you wish to edit and then click Change.
    Click the "More Settings" button.
    Select the Advanced tab located across the top of the window.
    Select the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" option.
    Select the "Remove from server after" option.
    Enter 7 in the box to the right of "Remove from server after."

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

    I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
    So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
    Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
    Thank you.

    You're welcome
    Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.
