How do I reset Thunderbird so the settings are as they were when it was first installed?

I seem to have mistakenly changed the settings so the several email accounts are no longer displayed in the way that was familiar to me.
I find it difficult to describe but although the counter shows several thousand emails, they were not displayed unless, somehow I manged to get the in boxes separated from the rest of the accounts - that is a very poor description of the problem, I hope someone will tell me how to return things to the original default settings I had several years ago and before numerous updates.

It truly is a poor description, but I think one of the setting on
View menu (alt+V) > Toolbars
View menu (alt+V) > Layout
View menu (alt+V) > Folders
Will be what you are looking for.
View menu (alt+V) > Folders > unified is the closes I can come to your description of separating the inbox from the account.

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

How do I get to the photos I put in revel when it was first available?

I may have 100 or so photos in Revel. I don't know how to get to them. Thanks for your information!@

Dave-
You do have photos in adobe revel. You can login using the same credentials you did with photoshop.com (your email and password). I see an account that uses the same verizon email as you do to sign in to this forum. You have photos in "david's library" but your "photoshop.com library" is empty. Try logging in with those credentials and let me know if you have issues

How do I the word "Share" on my pages site where all the settings are located? I use to have it. Can I get it back?

How do I get the word "Share" on mhy pages site whre all the settings are located across. I use to have it but it is gone on my macbook.

The "Share" button on the toolbar was for sharing documents via iWork.com (beta). That service was shut down last year so the button wouldn't do anything now. It seems that the Pages team removed it in one of the updates.

As Roger said, iCloud does not support external POP accounts.
However, you can configure your Max to directly receive your Yahoo! email by following these instructions:

Note that this works (for me) without a Yahoo Plus! account - and make sure that you scroll down to the comment at the end of the article which has all of the correct settings in one place.

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

Hi,
This is mostly about what is called Away as a Status and setting an Away Status Message when going Idle.
Idle happens when there has been no Keyboard or Mouse input for 10 mins.
(read as for any Input device like Trackpad, Graphics pad, Trackball etc)
The Bottom section of the General Section of the iChat Preferences is abouut what happens when you go Idle. (The Orange Arrow and Text in the pic Below)
(Your Status indicator will go Amber)
Some of this does depend if you have Set "Block others for Seeing me as Idle " in the Accounts section > Account Info Tab on AIM Logins.
It is also linked to Fast User Switching (your Mac User Account could go Idle whilst you are Logged in as another Mac User Account).
The Blue Arrow and Text points out you can make sure iChat stays at the Last Status (And Message) you used on Quit (The default is for this to be Ticked and iChat to change to Available).
The Red Arrow and Text is about whether you appear as Fully Off line on Quit and Sleep.
On Quit iChat does not fully log you out of the AIM Servers.
You will appear as Off Line to your Buddies but the AIM servers will keep Off Line Messages for you (well, if you have never replied "NO" to the first Off Line IM you ever got)
However it does seem that in certain Combos of these settings that you can "Seen" by your Buddies as Away rather than Off line.
Picture of General Section of Preferences
If you add in to this mix a shorter time than the Idle time to make the computer go to Sleep then you can also create other "states" as well.
So...
In it's default settings:-
1) iChat will always set you to Available on Launch.
2) At 10 mins of no input you will go Idle (Amber)
3) For Fast User Switching you can set iChat to go Off Line or to Go "Away" (A Status Message setting).
(It has been so long I forget what the Default was)
4) iChat is set by default to show you going Idle (See the Accounts section of the Preferences)
5) If you specifically set an Away Status (or Message) then iChat will do whatever is set in the bottom part of the General Section.
6) Sleep will put you Off Line and the "When I Quit iChat, Set My Status to Off Line" option will kick in
The Default is for this to be Unticked.
There is no setting to create going to Away if left alone.
I am not entirely sure on this one though as I think it can be created via "Second Pass" things.
Note:-
Example of Second Pass.
Go to the View Menu and the Sort Buddies option.
If you sort by First Name then the Buddy list is likely to Reorganise itself based on the Address Book Entries.
If you now Sort by Availability it will organise those First Names by Availability rather than reverting to what was set before.
(Screen Names Only Buddies will appear alphabetically in any list)
Now repeat by Sort by Last Name then Availability and you will see that the list is not in the same order as First Names and Availability.
At this point I am not sure exactly what you meant.
The Title bit implies that Sleep was/is getting in the way.
The actual question details leave me wondering what you think you have set iChat to do ?

I used my iphone to send a message in French. I have changed the settings back to English but when I send a text or write a message it still thinks I am typing in French. Any suggestions?

Any thoughts on how to resolve the above ? Namely I went into settings changed the language to French. Sent a message to soemone in France in French. Went back to settings selected British English. Reset the phone into English, But it still thinks it is 'French' when sending a message or text. Have gone back to settings tried to reset the keyboard to original factory settings. No joy. Switched the phone on and off. No joy, It still assumes it is French when sending a text or email even though the settings are all set for English. Any suggestions on how to resolve tbis ???

Amazing response. Unbelievably fast. Totally helpful. Totally
accurate.
A thousand thanks

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.
