Mozilla thunderbird will not open or sync profile on NAS device

Was running two computers with thunderbird both sync to the same profile stored on a NAS device. NAS device lost a drive but profile remained in tact. Now TB will not load the profile but when asked where the profile is located TB shows correct location and profile. Have tried reinstalling TB, restarting computer, restarting NAS device, have checked the profiles.ini file to make sure it is correct. All give the same effect, TB asks me to create new profile like I just installed the software. Any ideas??

how do you know it is not loading the profile? My guess is it is and your missing something you expect and assume it is not.

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

Thunderbird will not open, even in safe mode

Recently Thunderbird refused to open on my Windows 7 64 bit pc. I have turned off all antivirus/malware programs, uninstalled with Revo uninstaller and reinstalled Thunderbird, tried to start it in safe mode. I have had task manager open while starting Thunderbird and it does not even appear in the window.
I am close to migrating to Opera. Please help me fix this problem.

AS you have Windows 7 64 bit pc, Thunderbird should have installed in this directory:
* C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe
Check the shortcut on desktop is pointing to correct directory:
Right click on Thunderbird shortcut icon and select Properties.
General tab
Under 'Attributes'
Read only and hidden must NOT be selected.
click on 'Shortcut' tab
make sure the 'Target' is this:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
click on 'Security' tab
make sure your UserAccount name has permission to run TB
click on OK
Make hidden files and folders visible:
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
Create a folder on desktop called 'TB Backup'
Then create a backup of your Profile name folder.
Locate this directory:
C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
Right click on the profile name - (usually xxxxxxxx.default where the x's are letters and numbers) - select Copy and then Paste this into the Folder called 'TB Backup'.
If you have more than one Profile which you use - copy paste that as well.
Then look for and delete all the contents from these two directories:
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\
Then click on thunderbird shortcut icon to run Thunderbird.
If this fails:
right click on Thunderbird icon and select 'Run as administrator'
Thunderbird should create a new default Profile.
It will then ask if you want to create mail accounts - do not create mail accounts - exit Thunderbird - it must be closed - this is important..
Locate your saved Profile in the TB Backup folder.
Open the profile name folder and copy all the contents.
Locate the new Profile here:
C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile folder name
Paste the copied contents into the profile folder name overwriting all the default files.
As an aid you should be copying the Contents of Profile folder name - see image below as an aid.
then try to restart Thunderbird.
Please report back on results.

Firefox reset completely, attempted to restore old Firefox data, will not open saying that profile could not be loaded.

Hello,
When returning to my computer, I attempted to open Firefox and received a prompt to either start Firefox in safe mode or reset it. I tried safe mode at first then proceeded to reset it as well. Losing all of my add-ons/extensions/etc, I tried to solve the problem by restoring my profile with a folder that appeared on my desktop titled "Old Firefox Data". After following instructions to restore my profile, a window now pops up saying that my profile could not be loaded and Firefox just does not open at all. Is there anyway to recover my old profile? I tried following another suggested method but when searing for my profile through the files, it could not be found.
Thank you!

Firefox will not open and my profile name changes, after I creat a new profile it works until I try to open again

Firefox version 16.0.2 was working I have used FF for years. A few days ago it started to run very slow opening web sites. Then this morning when I tried to open it I saw a progress bar that looked like the kind I see after an update has been applied but FF never opened.
I rebooted my windows 7 64 bit and tried again, nothing FF would not open and I got no error message.
So I opened the profile manager and only found a default profile not the one I created last year with my name. I created a new profile and browsed to my old profile folder. FF opened and ran fine until I closed it and later tried to open it again then I kept getting an error box telling me that FF had crashed and asked if I wanted to send a report and restart, I did but no good it still would not open.
I ran the profile manager again and found my profile had changed name to a bunch of numbers. I delete that profile but kept the folder then made a new one and that worked. I shut it down again and once again I get the We're sorry error box.
By the way I had set the profile manager to open when FF loads and it is not opening so the problem is before it gets to that command.

First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is.

Firefox or Thunderbird will not open with firewall enabled,(eset Smart Security)

After the most recent update to Firefox, it now won't open until I disable my firewall. Once it is open I can enable the firewall again and all is good. The same thing happened to Thunderbird about two weeks previous. When I try to open either one when the firewall is on nothing happens, yet the process shows it's running in Task Manager. I have to end the process..disable firewall.. start Firefox and Thunderbird..then turn on firewall.

After reading several posts in the Support Forum I tried a solution. I deleted the "sessionstore-backups" folder.
Please try this: click the menu button ≡ and then click help ? > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". Then a new window will open up. In this window look out for a folder named "sessionstore-backups", delete this folder and restart firefox afterwards.
The problem was resolved.

Itunes will not open and sync my Ipad after Imac update. Why?

I had a computer udate on my IMac yesterday and now I cannot get into my Itunes at all. I have no access to my music or videos, but my pictures pop up when I plug in my Ipad to the IMac. There is a message that comes up on my screen when I try to click into Itunes and it says; "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I'm not sure what to do to be able to get back into my Itunes and sync my Ipad to it. Any suggestions?

If you've reached five authorizations for your iTunes Store account, there will be a button in your Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
Regards.

Some apps will not open after sync.

Hello,
I downloaded iMapMyRun and Waze. I opened them both just fine and started using Waze without problems. Later, I downloaded eBay. It is a very wanting app but it worked. I later downloaded Angry Birds Free, but I never opened it. I did a sync to iTunes, which told me that certain apps could not be synced because they were not authorized on this device (meaning the MBP I assume). Just after that I tried to play Angry Birds, but it just flinches without opening. The eBay app began doing the same thing. I was still able to use Waze, but didn't try iMapMyRun. I just did another sync hoping that it would straighten things out. Now, I can't open any of those four applications. Everything else seems to work fine. Icons for those 4 apps show up in the recent apps list even though they only flinch instead of actually opening. I have tried force quiting those apps in the recent apps list and rebooting the iPhone to no avail.
Any ideas?
ThankU
Have Fun

Refer to this link where I posted further issues and a solution that may help you.

I did eventually need to delete Angry Birds Free. It reinstalled and began working properly. However, I lost my scores and ranking in the top .02% of > 12,000,000 players. I have found it very difficult and frustrating trying to reaccomplish the high scores I had before, but (although not as many points as before & burned out) am now in the top .03% of > 16,000,000 players. So, if there is information that you don't want to loose (& more precious than a silly high score), you may want to continue searching before using my remedy for those particular applications.
I hope it works out for you. These issues are agrevating for me, because I think everything should work correctly the first time and am then spoiled by Apple, which usually does give that outcome.
Good Day.

Mozilla browser will not open on my desktop

Cannot open Mozilla web browser. I can open Google chrome and access the internet.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Thunderbird will not open

Today, I tried to open Thunderbird to get my mail and nothing happens when you click on the icon. I have Windows 7 and have tried opening it from the desktop, start menu, and the taskbar at the bottom of the page.

I have tried reinstalling it twice and there is no change. When you click on the icon, the cursor spins in a circle for a few seconds and stops.

Firefox will not open...please help.

My Mozilla Firefox will not open any windows, although it does start and show as running in my task manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice now and restarted my computer twice.
I CANNOT start Firefox in safe mode by holding down shift or using the "firefox/safe" in the run box.
I've tried it with applications closed, and open....I've tried it online and offline, I tried to run it in compatibility mode, I checked my computer for viruses...nothing helps.
I have read every troubleshooting item here but they only say try safe mode, or do something from Firefox when it is open such as reset it. I have no add-ons or extensions on Firefox and it just worked yesterday...also my computer is brand new Windows 8.1 12GB ram 2TB harddrive and everything else works fine.
please help

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
