I can't re-install my thunderbird account after reinstalling my mac (moving folder from mac to mac)

hi all,
so i needed to uninstall and reinstall my macbook pro, so i backed up all my files including my thunderbird folder (/Users/anat/Library/Thunderbird) and the thunderbird application (in the applications folder).
i uninstalled and reinstalled mavericks.
i put the thunderbird application inside the applications folder. i put the /Users/anat/Library/Thunderbird in /Users/anat/Library/Thunderbird. i launched thunderbird - nothing. it wants me to create a new account and profile. i can't access my old account.
i went to profile manager using the /Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -profilemanager command in Terminal. i created a new account, and chose my profile library that i had originally backed up and copied back. i launched thunderbird - still nothing, still it wants me to create a new account and i don't see any of my mails, settings, contacts. nothing.
i deleted everything (thunderbird application, thunderbird folder) and downloaded a new installation file for thunderbird. installed it. repeated all the steps of copying the previous folder in, opening profile manager, etc... still no go.
please help! i don't know what else to do.

Shut down Acrobat and any Creative Cloud application before doing this procedure.
1    Rename caps folder.
          a. Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
          b. In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
          c. Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. OLD_caps):
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
2    Install Acrobat from within the Creative Cloud application.
3    Rename new caps folder.
          a. Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
          b. In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
          c. Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. NEW_caps):
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
4 Rename the OLD_caps folder back to "caps"
5 Now you should be good.
*Note: The "caps" folder contains the files that the Creative Cloud application reads to show what IS and IS NOT installed.

Why do you ask in the iWeb forum?

Can I purchase & install "Pages" on one of my I-Macs and then have access to "Pages" on another I-Mac I own?

Can I purchase & install "Pages" on one of my I-Macs and then have access to "Pages" on another I-Mac I own wothout purchasing it again?

If you purchase using the Mac App Store application on your Mac, you can also install the app on any other capable Mac you own and use with the same Apple ID User Account. Just log into the Mac App Store from the second Mac and Download/Install.

HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

I'm confused
Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
Do you want one or two?
By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer. You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media. You can have multiple user accounts on a computer. You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries. We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

HT1338 Why can't I install Leopard for PowerPC on my old Mac Mini?

Why can't I install Leopard for PowerPC on my old Mac Mini? The massage "This can not be installed on this computer" appears.

My thoughts are that your difficulties could be one of these:
your non-retail DVD may only work on a very limited range of Mac minis
the installer may not like your new RAM
the installer may not like the language change especially if the disk has not been erased first
I have seen a little evidence for 3 in the code of other Leopard install DVDs - they appear to have less stringent language checks for erased volumes. Whilst I have never modified model specific installers I have modified retail installers to ignore speed and RAM checks.
My advice:
back up your whole mini hard disk to an external disk - see notes
erase the hard disk and partition into 2 volumes with Leopard install DVD
try to install Leopard on one volume
put original OS on the other volume
Notes:
Carbon Copy Cloner can be used to backup the whole hard disk
ensure the mini can be booted from the external disk before you erase the internal disk

FaceTime can't be installed on "Sosa" because the version of Mac OS X is too new.

FaceTime can’t be installed on “Sosa” because the version of Mac OS X is too new.

And what is your OS X version then ?
The Facetime dwnload form the Mac App Store is for OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard only.
In OSX 10.7 Lion Facetime is already included.

Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

Can't connect to one POP3 account after installing Moutain Lion and Mail 6

I use Mail 6 as my client to connect to several POP accounts. Just one of them won't work. I can make it work in Thunderbird. The account name has an explanation mark in a circle icon next to it. When I click on that I get: "The server returned the error: The server “pop.mycompanyserver.com” cannot be contacted on port 995." I've tested all of the settings and contacted Enterprise IT. I think it may be something about autodiscovery. Is there something I can manually change on my end? Thanks.

Nope. Didn't work. My company IT told me to get lost, but I'm pretty sure it's a problem at their end.
Nevertheeless, maybe this will help in getting to the bottom of this: when I delete the account and then go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Add Account, I type in my e-mail and password and it searches for a server that matches. It finds something called autodiscover.companyname.net, which it calls an"Exchange server," but it fails to login, saying the email address or the password entered may not be correct

Can't send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks. Incoming messages OK.

I'm unable to send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks. Incoming is OK. Any suggestions on how to resolve, please?

I'm afraid that I have the very same problem. How did Apple not see this. Surly email is a major part of any opperating system and should have being more than double checked before releasing. I understand software glitches but this is a major pain in the backside. I'm totally stuck and can't use my macbook pro

Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

Yes you can.
The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

Late 2008 macbook 13" prompts mac OS can not be installed on this computer after booting from disc as l get the folder with the question mark screen. New HDD or ?

From the little research l have done, l have been convinced l may be having a dead hard drive though after having tried all the other troubleshooting tips found here, when trying to boot l get the grey screen and folder with the question mark suggesting it can not find the files neccessary to boot hence l tried booting with the disc and the message l get is that mac OS X can not be installed on this computer, though after doing the hardware check etc they all say okay. I've even tried erasing the drive and trying to instal the OS afresh with no luck. Any ideas or l must just get a new hard drive?

Pretty sure BGreg hit the nail on the head. If your hard drive was failing, you would still be able to at least attempt an install, provided your ard drive was mounting. You usually get that message when the disk is incompatible with the computer. If it is the proper disk, you might try erasing the disk (provided your info is backed up) using Disk Utility (under Utilities in the menubar) and choose the Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) format.
