Is there a way to recover my stored emails from the version of Thunderbird I had on my Windows XP system that was upgraded to Windows 8?

I can find the folder Windows.old and locate the Thunderbird files in there, but can't find any old email info. Do they exist and if so where to find them?

If you currently have personal data in Thunderbird, the safest thing to do is to use the ImportExportTools add-on. See the second link if you need more detailed usage instructions than those provided in the description.

If you need to transfer other data besides mail, see the following article.

If you don't have any personal data in Thunderbird at the moment, then you can simply replace everything in your current profile with data from your old profile:
# Click the '''≡''' menu icon in the top right.
# Open the '''Help''' menu and choose '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
# Click the '''Show Folder''' button. This opens a Windows Explorer window with your current profile.
# Click the '''≡''' menu icon and choose '''Exit'''.
# Create a backup copy of your current profile folder.
# Select all files in your current profile folder ('''Ctrl+A'''), then press the '''Delete''' key to erase them.
# Open a new Windows Explorer window and navigate to your old profile folder.
# Copy all files and subfolders from the old profile folder into the current one.
You're welcome.

  • Is there a way to call a stored proc from the web in Oracle 10g?

    I've found an article about Native Oracle XML DB Web Services in 11g, but it appears to be a new feature. Is there any way of accomplishing something similar in 10g? I would like to be able to process XML documents that contain the name and parameters of the stored proc/function to execute.
    Link to 11g article:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb_web_services.htm

    I agree with you. I was looking into mod_plsql, but it turns out that their development standards include not using Oracle HTTP server. The whole reason why they want to be able to execute a stored proc based on what is specified in an XML doc is that they want to avoid having to change their middle-tier configurations anytime a new stored proc or a change in stored proc parameters is made. I'm not familiar with what all is involved with .NET and the middle-tier, but supposedly this way, they can specify any stored procedure name and its parameters in an XML file. The XML is then suppose to be passed on to an Oracle stored procedure which will parse the XML and dynamically execute the stored procedure that was specified in the XML.
    Here is an example of the XML:
    '<Root>
      <PackageName>TEST_PKG</PackageName>
      <ProcedureName>TEST_PROC</ProcedureName>
        <Parameters> 
        <Parameter>
            <Name>EmpID</Name>
            <Value>12345</Value>
        </Parameter>
        <Parameter>
            <Name>Org</Name>
            <Value>ABC</Value>
        </Parameter>
        </Parameters>
    </Root>I basically need to parse out the pkg/proc names:
      SELECT t.COLUMN_VALUE.extract('//PackageName/text()').getstringval() PkgName,
             t.COLUMN_VALUE.extract('//ProcedureName/text()').getstringval() ProcName
         INTO v_pkg_name, v_proc_name
         FROM TABLE(xmlsequence(XMLTYPE(v_XML_input) .extract('/Root'))) t;...and then execute the procedure:
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN '||v_pkg_name||'.'||v_proc_name||'(:a, :b, :c); END;'
          using in v_in_param1, v_in_param2, out v_XML_output;The problem is that this approach is very complicated since there can be any number of IN/OUT parameters and of various datatypes. I would have to create all kinds of possible bind variables!

  • Is there a way to recover deleted video files from the finder folder

    I recently and mistakenly deleted video files that were in my Finder folder,don't know why they were in there but that's another question, in doing this it also deleted them from IMovie and I have lost them unless someone out there know's different,

    If you haven't emptied your trash, they should be there.
    If not, they should be in your last Time Machine backup. (Or other backup.)

  • Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

    Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

    That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file.  First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
    Click to view full size
    If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

  • I have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

    i have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

  • Is there any way to recover ePrinter account email by using a ePrinter e-mail address?

    My problem is as follows, I registered my printer onto ePrintCenter and set custom email address to my printer. But, I logged out from the ePrintCenter and sine that time I couldn't login into the ePrintCenter any more as the system says that the e-mail address I set for ePrinterCenter is not used in the system.
    So, I have my ePrinter e-mail, is there any way to recover ePrintCenter email address by using the printer email?
    Thank you, Agrifert.

    Hi Agrifert,
    Unfortunately its not possible to retrieve the email address you used to create your ePrintCenter account from the printer's ePrint email address. Are you still unable to log in to your ePrintCenter account? I'll wait to hear back from you before suggesting any further actions.
    Best.
