I want to copy Thunderbird from Vista to Windows 7 - including all messages and address book

I tried to do this using Windows Easy Transfer but it didn't work properly. It only transferred the basic Thunderbird setup and loaded messages which were left on the server but not the address book or the emails on Vista which I want to keep. Frustrating!

I used the Gmail option which looked more simple for a non computer literate person. It more or less worked after a bit of tweaking - I copied the gmail messages manually across to Thunderbird and also created my address book as that didn't go across either. All is fine now, thanks.

  • I have recently upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. All my music is on a windows file, how do I move it to i tunes library

    I have recently upgraded my laptop operating system from Vista to Windows 7. i tunes is asking me to sync my i pod, because it is recognising the Vista laptop and not the Windows 7. All my music has gone from i tunes library but it is all stored in Windows music folder(s). How can I move it all to my i tunes library?

    So your iTunes library is now empty after the upgrade?
    Simply drag the one folder (containing all of your music) into your new empty iTunes library or choose File -> Add to Library in iTunes.
    Otherwise, if they aren't all in one folder, you'll have to drag each seperate one into iTunes.

  • Installed Thunderbird on New drive but can't transfer emails and address books drom old drive to new PC.

    I have a computer I built that my dad who uses Thunderbird for his email. We had to remove the C: drive, which was a SSD drive because it was running out of space and replaced it with a Western Digital Veloci-Raptor 500GB drive. I am not familiar with Thunderbird and did not export his emails or address book before I switched the drives. I have set his new Thunderbird account to keep the mails on the server and not the PC. How can I get the old emails and address books from the old hard drive. I did copy the Thunderbird folder from the C: drive and the folder on the E: drive that Thunderbird was installed to. I have read many forums on how to move emails and address books to or from Thunderbird but non are like my situation. Hoe can retrieve the emails and address books from the previous install and transfer them over to the new PC once I have done a reinstall?

    first the old drive... the location varied between windows versions but it is either in Application data or appdata. In vista and above open the roaming folder. Both are hidden folders so you need to show hidden files and folders in Windows. Within that you will find a Thunderbird folder.
    The sub folders of that are the profiles, but simply copying the Thunderbird folder over it's like in the appdata\roaming of Vista and above will replace the existing with the old.
    Copy the actual profile in the folder called profile XXXX.default xxxx being a random string will place two profiles on the hard disk which can be opened individually using the profile manager. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
    Finally individual folders of mail can be moved using the import export tools. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ You just need to locate the data. Folders are a file with no extension and another with the same name and an MSF extension. They are in sub folders of mail in the profile.
    Address books. see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_address_books_between_profiles

    You can move your iTunes music Library folder to external media from the G5 to the Mavericks machine and point a modern version of iTunes at it.
    I don't know what you'll have to do with your Contacts, however.

  • I want to copy email from my mac to my pc. Forwarding one at a time via email works well, but when I try to forward several of them at a time I receive one large email. I want to receive the emails individually on my pc. Any suggestions?

    Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
    With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
    maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
    (3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

    This has been posted for almost 2 weeks and not one reply. Thanks a bunch! As a newbie to OOo and Mozilla, I am not impressed with responsiveness to support needs with either. So, the future of my new experiment with going non-Microsoft remains an open question.
    Oddly enough, the problem mysteriously went away. I have followed the same routine and changed no settings. Suddenly all of the downloaded spreadsheets were no longer read-only. So I consider the matter resolved.

  • I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same).  I want to copy photos from one to the other.  how?

    I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same).  I want to copy photos from one to the other.  how?

    I'm sorry.  I got a little off-the-wall there.
    I want to have the same iPhoto files on both machines.  A few days ago I spent several hours swapping photos back and forth until I had one event with identical picture files on both.  Yesterday I scanned some old photos into the Macbook.  Today I wanted to copy them to the iMac.  I could not remember what I had done a few days ago, so I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to either remember or find another way, to no avail.  I have no idea what I did right before; I only recall that it was pretty easy.
    I didn't write anything down.  I used to do that, but what I do is so intermittent that by the time I want to copy pictures again either (a) the app has been updated and the old way doesn't work (b) I've lost the paper with the notes on it or (everything seems fine but it just doesn't work.  So I gave that up.
    Yes, I do want both iPhoto libraries to be the same.  The Macbook is the one with the scanner and I download from my camera on the iMac, so I need to be able to move photos from one to the other, I think.

  • How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

    I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
    I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

    Hi
    Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
    Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
    If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

  • Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
    Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
    Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

    I have an Iphone 4 and want to copy my photos to my windows PC, what is the easiest way to do this?

    Your PC should recognise the iPhone as a camera and you can simply treat it as one.
    Programs like Photoshop can import photos from it or you can use Camera and Scanner Wizard to import instead.
    You can also double-click the iPhone in My Cmputer and drag and drop
