I want to migrate Thunderbird from Win to Mac. Several attempts only produce empty inboxes. What am I missing?

I have followed Mozilla recommendations for migration, MacRumors recommendations, and others as well. Even the Apple store was unsuccessful. Everything I read suggests that this is straightforward. What am I missing? I have copied my xxx.default file into Profile folder on Mac. Nothing. I have copied my Profile folder in-place of the Mac Profile folder. I have copied the contents of Profile into the Mac profile folder. I have upgraded my PC Thunderbird and then copied the contents of Profile into the Mac Profile. All produce zero data in my Mac inbox. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Me Too. Are there profiles somewhere else than /Library/Thunderbird/Profiles?

  • I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion.  There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed.  I have no idea what that passcode is.  It seems to want a numeric code.

  • I just received my new Mac Mini and want to migrate files from my Time Machine. I assume the old OS is on Time machine and I don't want it to supersede the new Yosemite OS. Do I have to Do anything special?

    Using Migrations Assistant will only move the data and other things over, it will not bring over a previous version of the Os since the 2014 model can run anything earlier than Yosemite.

  • Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared.  This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

    I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch."  I purchased the entire season and had watched one show.  It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5. 
    About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook.  while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing. 
    Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass.  After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available. 
    I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs.  I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time.  Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering. 
    Any ideas?

    This may help

    As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
    It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

  • I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

    I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

    I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

  • Migrating bookmarks from windows to mac

    Can I transfer my bookmarks from a windows platform to a mac platform and if so how do I do it?

    Hello,
    There are two ways of doing this:
    1. '''Firefox Sync''' - if you want to continue using both Windows and Mac versions of Firefox then you can use Firefox Sync to keep your bookmarks and other settings synchronised between the devices. See here for set up instructions: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
    2. '''Export as html and import''' - if you want to move permanently from Windows to Mac then I think the cleanest thing would be to export the bookmarks from Windows to HTML. Follow these instructions: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] then transfer the HTML file to your mac and import them into Firefox there. Follow these instructions for the import: [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

  • Cant print black from excel for mac 2011 anymore only colour

    I can't print black from excel for mac 2011 anymore only colour. Can print normally from all other programs. Will not work from excel. Will only print colour. Have reinstalled printer drivers with no difference. Brand new mac so should be no font issues. I have to screen print all excel documents to print. Wont work if saved as PDF either. Am looking for suggestions. Have checked all preferences and settings. Tried fine and fast - no difference. Comes out blank. Will only print colour. HELP!

    I have a variation of this same problem.  I maintain a bunch of Microsoft Excel 97-2004 Workbooks.  Some of these documents print in colour (actually a light grey colour), while others print in black ink.  I cannot discern the difference between the documents and why the difference in printing.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance,
    C.

  • Migration assistant (from WIN) problem with emails:

    Hi there
    I am a new user dealing with my first mackbook pro.
    For first I have used the migration assistant to trasnfer data from my old win7 pc. For time reason, i have used it in two-three different times. Theproblem now is that when I've tried to transfer my email boxes, the software recognizes the user in win and wants to create an other user in mac.
    This way, I have a second user with all theworking boxes.
    Obviously, I would like to have only one user with all the boxes.
    How can I do?
    I even tried to transfer the boxes from one user to the other, using the "export" command in Mail.
    My the way, when importing in the right user i get an error message:
    "Impossible to import some messages" if i try to use the "Apple Mail" option
    or
    "mbox elements not found" if I use the mbox element options
    thanks
    p.s. sorry for my english, I'm italian!

  • HT201250 i bought a new mac, and i want to migrate data from my old pc external drive to my mac how is this done

    Just Recently bought a new Mac, because my old PC crashed again, ( finished w/ microsoft) but now i would like to migrate data from my external drive i used on my PC to my new Mac. i loaded the Migration assitant from utilities but didnt see how to migrate the data from this external drive. which is a SEgate drive. any ideas.

    Just in case you are not aware of this, you can probably use your external drive, which you presumably now no longer need for your PC, as the backup drive using the Mac's Time Machine. If you still have any Windows specific files that you want to keep, it is really easy to partition the drive so that you can keep Windows files and Mac files in different partitions.

  • I want to execute Thunderbird from Firefox toolbar

    I would like to be able to kick off the Thunderbird mail program from Firefox but cant seem to find out how to make a button on a toolbar to do so. I can execute Thunderbird from Start programs but would like to be able to do so while I am in Firefox. Want to read my emails.

    You can use the [http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html Get Mail] add-on to add a button to open Thunderbird.

  • Migrating from Win to Mac

    Hello,
    I´m hoping to get my new MBP 13" in a couple of days. Due to the fact that all my computers are running Windows Vista, XP and Server, I´m totally new in the world of mac.
    All I want to ask is: Is there any possibility to move my whole iTunes 8.2-library (with all podcasts, iphone backups/programs) from Windows Vista to my new macbook pro ? Do I need an external USB-HDD (formatted with NTFS at the moment) to transfer the data from system to system ? The problem from my point of view: iTunes for Windows stores the program folder, the library itself and the data in different folders.
    And, sorry for off-topic in this forum: Is it possible to move my pictures (JPG, from digital camera) from my Windows HomeServer to the mac (iPhoto 09) ?
    Thanks a lot.

    After reading some how-to´s, there a a few questions left.
    All I want is to transfer my whole iTunes-data from Windows to Mac OS X. Some how-to´s tell me just to copy the iTunes for Windows-content to a FAT32/NTFS external USB-HDD besides the *.itl-file (=iTunes library) to the MAC OS folders. Another how-to tells me to export the library under Windows to a *.XML-file. Afterwards I would have to change the drive-letter like C: to the MAC-format - that´s all. No *.itl-file, just copying the content to the MAC-folder and importing the library-XML-file into iTunes for MAC.
    Could someone help me out ? Which promises to be the better way ?
    On Choosing the *.itl-way: Do I have to change pathes ? Does it contain pathes/drive letters ?
    Thanks.

  • Just bought a mac.. want to change the ipod from win to mac

    how can i do that and save the playlist, purchases, etc ??

    You can transfer all of your song files from iPod to Mac using a third-party utility. Macs can read the Windows format, so it should work even if the iPod is formatted for Windows.
    The free utility of choice for Mac seems to be Senuti.

  • Migrating LR from Windows to Mac

    I just got my new MacBook Pro, which I'm in the process of migrating to from my Windows desktop. My plan is to move my entire photo collection (originals) onto an external HDD along with my LR catalog and preview files. Then, I plan to install LR onto the Mac and point it at the existing catalogs from my Windows computer. Here's my problem- what is the best way to move the originals? Do I use a move function from within LR, or do I move the whole collection of originals, and then point LR to the new location and rebuild all of the connections?
    My current file structure looks like this: My Pictures->Year->Month->Date->Edited (where Edited is my exported final draft with no XMP)
    Thanks for the help on this.
    Adam

    John-
    Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean. I know what the .lrcat file is, but when would I double click? After a manual move of the originals?
    I'm already sure that I want to work from the external vs. the MBP's internal. I may move small collections onto the internal at times if speed becomes an issue, but otherwise I plan to keep everything organized on the external.
    Thanks again.
