I recently transfered my Thunderbird Profile and messages folder from XP comp to a Win 7. Now I can't open my inbox messages. Help

I had Thunderbird installed and operating fine on my XP computer with my messages kept in a truecrypt folder. (Not default location) I have a new computer with Win 7. I read support files that directed me to move my profiles folder from my XP computer into the newly created profiles folder for the Win 7 computer. Then I copied my truecrypt folder to my new computer. Then I went in to the account settings for all 4 email accounts I keep track of and fixed the Local Directory for message storage under server settings to point correctly to my messages folders in truecrypt folder.
Now when I try to access my inbox for any of the email accounts I get the working circle (old XP hourglass) infinitly. Ultimately I never get to see any old or new messages.
I did notice that if I select the inbox of any email account and then select edit folder properties, the location is blank but it will not allow me to change it or correct it.
Any ideas?

This was the only answer that came up on my search, so please don't get so testy. I don't have my iphone with me, since I switched phones. Apple support will not let you call them, get a call from them, chat with them, etc without first putting in your serial number.  What next- anyone else have an idea?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • I have Pages 09' and I have installed / updated to pages 5.1. Now I can't open any of my old Pages documents!!! What do I do?

    I have Pages 09' and I have installed/updated to Pages 5.1 (when my computer initially asked if I wanted to update) - Now I can't open any of my older documents? Prior to this, I would open documents and it would be the 09' version. Then I would open documents and it would ask to be updated to the new version, even though it looked like the new version anyway. I would say yes, and that would be the end of it. So when I try to open up a document, it asks me to go to the ap store and update to the new version of pages, so when I go to the ap store, it says it's already installed/updated. What do it do?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • While in Hotmail, Firefox crashed & now I can't open or delete messages, however, on the same computer-different account- my Hotmail works fine.

    While a request to print a sent email was being executed (successfully), my attention was diverted away from the computer screen. When I returned, the Firefox "crash" notice was on the screen, but everything appeared fine so I didn't file a report. I exited Hotmail and later signed in and found out I can not open or delete any messages. I exited Hotmail, switched computer user accounts and opened my Hotmail under the computer's administrative account. Under the adm. account my Hotmail works without a problem. Switched back to my computer user account, signed in to Hotmail and the original problem still exists. What can I do to get Hotmail to work in my computer user account?

  • How do I import backup files of Thunderbird profiles and Firefox bookmarks from my Windows XP computer, which are on a USB flashdrive, to my Windows 7 computer?

    Carbonite provided me with complete backup copy of all files on my prior Windows XP computer, on a 32GB Data Traveler USB flashdrive, so I can transfer them to my new windows 7 computer.
    Many of those files will simply restore....but, I believe that all my Firefox bookmark files and my Thunderbird address book and local folders files will need to be "imported" by some procedure to make the transition from WinXP to Win7.

  • Iphoto froze and now I can't open it!! HELP!!

    I opened iphoto, imported a few new images and then the program froze. I could not do anything and I had to force shut down. When I turned it back on and opened iphoto it came up with a message that said "your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable." I tried to do what it said but nothing works. Have I lost ALL my photos!!! Please HELP!!

    Simple, quick solution: restore from your back up...
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What do i do?

    I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What can I do?

    I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

  • I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of A

    I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

    Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

    Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

  • HT1926 I was loading an update to my i-Tunes for my computer and got an error message and now I can not open my computer itunes and may have lost all the content. What do I do?

    I got a request from apple to update my itunes and while uploading the update, the program gave an error message and now I can not open my itunes and fear that all my music etc is gone?  what do I do to correct this problem?

    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.

  • Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.
