I copied my profile files to my new computer but TB doesn't seem to recognize them.

I read the page on "Moving TB data to a new computer". I copied the files from my backed-up profile into the profile folder on my new computer, where I had downloaded TB but not set up a new e-mail address, etc. It said you should just be able to start TB and all will be fine. But my folders and the rest are not showing up. I can see the folders in the Windows, but not in TB itself. What can I do?

in your new Thunderbird.
Select troubleshooting information on the help menu.
Select the show folder button in the profile section.
Windows Explorer opens in the folder Thunderbird is now using as your default profile.
If you copy the contents of your old profile into the new one with Thunderbird not running then is will just be there when you open.
Conversely, you can to copy the %appdata%\Thunderbird folder (which has your profile as a sub folder) from the old to the %appdata%\Roaming\Thunderbird folder on the new computer.
Access the location by typing %appdata% in the start menu and pressing enter. Windows will locate the correct physical location it is using for application data and open windows explorer at that location.

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

I need to install the CC products on a new computer, but it doesn't recognizes my password even when I'm logged in

I'm an Adobe CC member and need to install the CC products on a new computer. When I download CreativeCloudInstaller.dmg and I double click to install, it requires my password but it doesn't recognizes it even when I'm logged in. Somebody knows what happens?

HT2548 how do i copy the domain file from OS 10.4 to a lion OS computer? I made a copy of the domain file and copied it to my new computer, but it doesn't open in iweb when I double-click on it.

How do I import an iweb domain file from an ibook (OS 10.4) to an imac (OS 10.73)?
I copied the domain file from my ibook to my imac, but when I double-click on the file, it doesn't open in iweb.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Then place the domain file in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How to use copied music files on a new computer under iTunes

I have copied my music files to a new computer and put them into the iTunes Music folder. How do I get the iTunes application on the new computer to recognize the music files (list of previously downloaded music CDs) so that I can now play them on this computer.
Thanks in anticipation.
Ray

I have now determined the problem. I have just had to rebuild my system and had not loaded the audio drivers so it would not play music. So your original answer was all that was needed (had the audio drivers been installed).
Many thanks for your help.

If it is stolen , how are you going to sync it?
You mean you got a new iPhone and you want to sync it to your computer?
Plug it in.

New computer??? Or new iPhone?
I know how to copy my music library to my new computer but struggling with copying the contacts etc. Where do I find the contacts folder on my old computer?
I suggest you simply copy your entire User folder from old computer to new computer. This way all your data (Music, photos, contacts, emails, calendars, documents, etc.) goes across.

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

Doggiemommie,
Copying files is not a good idea.
The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
Hope this explains.

How do I copy my old profile folder to a new computer with Firefox 4?

Hey, I saved my old profile folder from my previous Firefox 4 installation on my old computer. I installed FF4 on the new computer. I tried placing the old profile files on the new profile folder, but when I start Firefox, it doesn't show any of my passwords or bookmarks. Do you know how to solve it? I used to do this before 4 and had no problem. Thanks!

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.
Any highspeed wired connection will work from a cat 5 or 6 cable to and ethernet network to firewire

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

Problem in copy 2 WORD files to a new WORD file

Hi
I have a problem in copy 2 WORD files to a new WORD file -
i.e. the text of the new WORD file suppose to be composed from the text of the 2 original WORD files.
Unfotunately I get a new WORD file which i can't open, or a file which contains strange simbols in it.
So far i succeded in copy one WORD file to a new WORD file , using - FileOutputStream and FileInputStream, the code is:
import java.io.*;
public class IOStreamDemo {
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException {
InputStream in2 = new FileInputStream("fruit.doc");
OutputStream out2 = new FileOutputStream("dst2.doc");
// Transfer bytes from in2 to dst
byte[] buf2 = new byte[1024];
int len2;
while ((len2 = in2.read(buf2)) > 0) {
out2.write(buf2, 0, len2);
in2.close();
out2.close();
Does sombody know how to do it properly?
Thanks

dear friend
I just create two word file one is fruit.doc and other
is dst2.doc
after that i write some lines in fruit.doc
then I just execute your code.
after that I open dst2.doc
then I found it as exact copy of fruit.doc
I doesn't get any junk text.
Your code is working absolutely fine.No it is not. Add som styling, headers, index etc to the docuements, and then try to run the code. It's not possible to just append two word documents. You have to parse the files and read relevant information, and then create a new valid document with that information.
