I have moved my Thunderbird profile to MyCloud and it is painfully slow launching. Performs fine once launched.

I decided to move everything to MyCloud and all works fine exept Thunderbird can take upwards of 30 seconds or more to launch. Firefox is a bit sluggish as well, but both perform fine once running. I am on the latest versions of each.

When you load Thunderbird is must load a lot of data. All of that data must come over a sluggish wire from a remote location. At the risk of sounding trite, what your doing is about the equivalent of filling an Olympic swimming pool with a bucket. when what is needed is a fire hose. When you actually have to compact your inbox and that 1Gb file is fetched and then returned the application will be very slow for a long time, and not just loading.
Comcast can not give you the speed you need, it may well be all the bandwidth they have going to your city. It is the equivalent of a fiber connection to the cloud location.

I have moved from the US to Norway, and want to change my apple ID to the Norwegian appstore. However, I am not allowed ot change from the US store before I use up my balance, which is 0.17 dollar. The problem is that nothing costs 0.17 dollar and I do no longer have an american visa card, only Norwegian. Is there any way I can erase the credit on my account so I can change the appstore country? Or osmething I can use this credit on? Thank you very much

Try contacting the store support staff at: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html they are usually pretty good at sorting out these issues.

I have moved from the UK to Canada and would like to pay for subscriptions in Canadian dollars rather than sterling pounds. Also I would like to take up the offer that I have purchase CS packages in my account. How do I go about this?

I have moved from the UK to Canada and would like to pay for subscriptions in Canadian dollars rather than sterling pounds. Also I would like to take up Creative Cloud subscription offer because I qualified as a prior purchaser of CS packages.
How do I go about this?

I did that - nothing happen... I have changed my adobe ID and all address to my Canada home.
Having log myself out and re-log back in to start the Creative Cloud subscription. The payment still shows in Sterling Pounds.
This is difficult as I am no longer earning Sterling pounds as a wage and the subscription would automatically be doubled payment, because Canadian $ is less in currency exchange to the UK Sterling Pound.
Thanks for your above suggestions, but what should I do now, to resolved this issue.
Regards
Robert

HT1918 Hi, I have moved from Australia to New Zealand and cant update my account to an nz credit card... What do i need to do?

Hi...
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside. So you need to establish a credit account with a bank in NZ.

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
Why would you do that, and not on your own computer? See the hassle it caused you?
can he just email me the folder
Backup files are too big to email. Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

HT1918 changing countries - I have moved from Australia to the USA and I would like to find out how to change my 'home' country in iTunes

I have recently moved overseas. I don't seem to be able to change my account from Australia to the USA in iTunes. Can anyone help?

Hi...
Click Sign In right side of the iTunes Store window just above QUICK LINKS. Enter your Apple ID and password then click View Account.
Click the Edit button to the right of Payment Type so you can change your account credentials.
You can also change the Country or Region from that window.
Then click Done.
Be aware, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.

I am using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it is very slow in loading emails and deleting emails. Did not have this problem till recently. Running Windows 7

With in the last 3 days my emails have been very slow to open and it takes about 20 secs. to delete an email.
At times I see the message that Thunderbird is not responding. I am using Windows 7 and Bitdefender AV.
I closed the firewall on the AV and this did not change anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Disable Bitdefender's option to scan mail folders and see if the performance improves.

HT201250 I have moved TM folders to the Trash, and now I cant delete them or move them. What do I do?

Time Machine told me the back up disk was full. So I selected older folders (from 2011) and moved them to the Trash. Now every time I try to delete them, I get the error 8003. It wont allow me to move them back to TM. They disappear when I unmount the TM disk, only to reappear when its remounted.
I have tried using the option key, secure empty trash etc. and the same error appears...
I realize I have done a bad thing - but I deleted files this way previously and didnt have a problem
Any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks

Okay. I have read a lot about this & still am a little unsure about what this solution actually does.
Like some others, I have simply added a folder (NOT A PARTITION) in my external HDD for the backups.
I noticed I was low on space one day & dragged a load of old backups to the trash.
Nothing in the time machine blurb inferred I should do it any other way & OS X is usually pretty intuitive.
Will this solution get rid of just the trashed files or will it destroy everything on the whole HDD?

I have a 3 years old Mackbook Air and its working very slow

Safari is not loading anything and every time i open some window it closes, also when i want to download something like,for example,the latest version of Itunes it appear the charging icon and it doesn't go until i turn off my macbook,what do i have to do? is a virus?
Sorry for my english

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

So i just got an 3T external hard drive and i have moved my itunes over to it successfully and have started using Time Capsule but is there a way to make things i download go directly to my external hard drive and not to my internal one?

What is the best way to manage tasks? I have moved from outlook and only have mail and ical

What is the best way to manage tasks. I have moved from a pc with outlook and have lost 'tasks' in that programme. Do I have to rely on ical or can I download an app to manage business tasks?

iCal does have reminders but its implementation of tasks is pretty wimpy. There are a number of programs that are better geared to the job. I was a level 4 procrastinator until I discovered Getting Things Done and for me Things is perfect. It lets me handle projects which are dependent upon multiple tasks in a no-nonsense easy fashion. Much less expensive and really not much more than a list maker is Wunderlist. Thankfully there's a ton of shareware offerings - check out MacUpdate.com and see what works for you.

I have moved my @me mail to icloud and now i am unable to log on through my mail on my mail. Do i need to change the servers or something?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
