Is there any way to uncomact the inbox and go back to a folder with files in it?

I am running Thunderbird 24.5.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I let my inbox get rather big and Thunderbird decided to compact it, it seems to be just one file now. Now my virus checker says it has found a threat in the file InBox and wants to delete the file. I don't want to just delete my entire inbox. I was hoping that if I could uncompact it the virus checker could find and delete just the message causing the problem. I have deleted a lot of junk messages so the inbox is not as big now but I can't find any way of reversing the compression.

Re: Anti-virus
Because emails are stored one after the other in a single file, anti-virus programs are not always designed to recognise this, they only see one file.
What you could do is create a folder on the desktop and save the emails as individual .eml files in that folder. Right click on highlighted emails and choose 'Save as' options. Select the created desktop folder where to save the email.
There is an addon called ImportExport tool which can offer more options; see link below and image..
* https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
Then scan the created desktop folder containing the .eml email files. the anti-virus will then pick up the actual email that it believes is corrupt. Once you know this, you can delete the actual email from the Inbox.
Remember that after emptying Deleted and Junk folders to right click on folder and select Compact to remove all traces.
Please read this article on Anti-Virus software.

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Is there any way to match the dock and USB to the iphone it goes with?

We have several iphones in our household. An iphone 3, two iphone 3S and two iphone 4S. Our teenage daughter keeps snatching everyone's charger and then claims innocence. Funny thing, everyone's chargers are all gone and she's the only one who has one left. We've never caught her red-handed, but we know without a doubt she's the little thief in the house. Is there any way to match the dock and USB to the iphone it goes with?

A charger is only connectors plastic and rubber you Can MAKE one yourself with wires so no memories

Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
good luck

Is there any way to save data(pictures and videos) on a iPhone 3GS with no backup and the battery needs replaced?

I have an iPhone 3GS, the battery is dead and needs replaced. Is there any way to have the battery replaced and save all the photos and videos that are very important of family and friends that are irreplaceable on it? There has been no back up done on the phone that I know of. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have to think you have tried operating the iPhone with the charging cable plugged into a charger and outlet or USB. It is likely you have tried this and it failed to operate. Have you tried a Reset on the iPhone to see if that will cause the battery to function ling enough to do an iCloud backup or iTunes backup?

Is there any way to fix the flash and poor photo quality after iOS 7 upgrade?

Hi everybody,
Since upgrading to the new iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 ... I have experienced poor photo (grainy) and the flash works when it feels like it... Is there any way
possible to revert back at least on the camera settings or is there a fix that can be downloaded to solve this problem? I take and use my camera a lot on my iphone5 and for me to have this problem it has made me really regret ever upgrading and I am starting to lose my faith in Apple products. I have searched the entire web and it appears there are a ton of people experiencing this same problem.!!!!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer

Is there any way to get the black background color back in fullscreen mode?

The current background color in fullscreen mode is grey and it's distracting. It used to be black. Is there a way to change the color outside of the document boundaries?

The only way you can get themes for your ipod is by a jailbrake, jailbraking is illegal, and yes,, you can downgrade your iOS.
Jailbreaking is actually not illegal due to exemptions in the DMCA documentation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#cite_note-22).
I've got no explanation on to why the trusty interface for the old iPod style app was butchered, unfortunately (I think we're all at a loss, besides someone being given too much free reign). I came here to supplement the original question with, another alternative question:
Is there a way, similar to downgrading 3rd party apps, downgrade the Music app or restore the old iPod app as an additonal app? Without jailbreaking?

i beleve the police can do this some how as you hear of things when bad people have deleted things and they can get them back

We are not Apple employees on this discussion site. We are other users like you volunteering our time to help.
If you have never backed up then the photos are gone. You should always backup your iPad. You should be able to download your apps again in the App store purchased tab and as long as you use the same ID that you bought them with, you will not be charged again for them.

HT4859 i accidentally clicked restore when i meant to click back up on my iphone 5, is there any way i can undo that and go back to what i had before i clicked restore?

I accidentally clicked "restore" when I meant to "back up" on my iphone 5, is there anyway I can undo that and get back to what I had?

Once the Device is being Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Is there any way to use the camera and stream live via the web?

I would like to setup my mac book pro to "watch" my dogs while I am gone. I want to be able to login to a website to view the camera. I was wondering if anyone could recommend software to be able to do this? Thanks!

I don't know the actual mechanics but I know that UStream is a popular streaming site for folks and organizatiuons to broadcast live video. So how hard could it be? You would have to investigate there what's involved.
One thing to keep in mind if you persue live streaming, and that's the bandwidth caps many (is all now?) isp's are imposing. For example comcrap and at&t have a 250GB limit. Not ever done streaming myself I wouldn't know if this imposes problems or not on top of any other daily stuff you might be doing, e,g, mail, browsing, downloading, etc.
FWIW, here's an example of someone streaming their dogs on ustream:

And I can't resist, for those that have cable but don't want to pay extra for NASA in HD (which it supplise for free to cable systems), even NASA uses ustream:

Is there any way to increase the size of printing on each page? With most of the printing it is really tiny. printing

I have been using I.E. with myyahoo.com as my homepage and I started having a page freeze for 30 seconds (approx.) 5 or 6 times a session. this is powered thru ATT.net. I thought that Firefox may correct this problem. When I installed Firefox I decided to use myyahoo.com as my home page. Yahoo/IE has a magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner that allows me to increase the print size. When I am on Foxfire the basis text size is 1/16th of an inch! How can I increase this size?????????????
#2 is it possible to have a different home page for Firefox and leave myyahoo.com on IE ???????????

1. The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

Or the NoSquint extension: <br />

HT201304 If I forgot my password is there any way to remove the restrictions and backup my iPod from the computer? I tried reseting it to factory defaults and then backing it up but it still has the restrictions on.

I'm trying to remove my restrictions, and i reset it to factory default, but everytime i back it up the restrictions are still on. I don't want to have to register as a new ipod and loose everything i've bought and added.

- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:
