She already has a thunderbird acct. but when trying and open thunderbird it wants her to create a new acct.

[This question is in regards to a friend's problem <> she somehow [LOL] lost TB]
She already has Thunderbird installed on her computer [Windows XP Home] and it was working fine yesterday. As I said, I don't know what she did to "lose" TB but today, when she tried to access her email, TB kept asking her to "create" a new account.
Not only is TB installed on her computer, but there is an existing profile under Docs & settings [from the tree on the "C" drive].
So, I created a new account and then, from the "profile" under the Docs & settings [owner<>app. data<>TB<>Profiles etc. I selected the correct folder and Ta Ta!!!! There was all of her emails, folders addies etc..
What do you think she did to "lose" TB? What could she have deleted or corrupted to attain this "computer illiterate level"
Has anyone ever encountered this problem, created this problem, or found out HOW it happened in the first place.
Thanks in advance,
Ellen

The computer probably crashed while TB was open, so TB lost the location of the profile. I suppose this might happen if an overzealous AV program was fighting for 'control' of the mail folders. See item 2. of 'Lost Profile' for a way to possibly prevent this in the future:

I am changing to iCloud on my iMac, MacBook Air and my iPhone. My iMac and MacBook both moved over to iCloud but my iPhone when I go to Settings and click on iCloud it shows my Mail setting turned Off. When I turn it on it wants me to create a new email address to turn on iCloud Mail. I already have to "me" accounts plus another email address and don't want to create another one. I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset.

Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset. I have been using Lightroom 4 for 18 months now and this problem just started happening in the last month.

No error messages. It acts totally normal but just never reopens when I try to reopen a new catalog. I create a catalog for each of my clients....I have done this since I started using lightroom as it seems tidy to me. But, I have never had this problem until now. I am using a pc and vista and Lightroom 4. Thanks.

When trying to open Thunderbird message appears XUL Runner Platform version 31.6.0 is not compatable with min Version =31.5.0 max Version =31.5.0

I cannot open Thunderbird. Above message appears on screen.

I suggest you download a fresh copy from getthunderbird.com and reinstall. I do not know what has caused it, but a reinstall should refresh the files and fix it.

I have a mac, and am trying to install lightroom 3.6, everything says it has installed ok, but when trying to open I get this message...An error occurred when attempting to change modules.

anybody have any idea?

I get the following message The file itunes itl cannot be read as an because it was created by an earlier version

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Hi Jcrisci
Welcome to apple discussions. I see this is your first post.
Any chance there are multiple users on your mac w/ separate accounts each? And are you working from the Admin account on this mac?

If my ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account. I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
*I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding. You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum. Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

Daughter has an iPhone and she can send me a text but when I text her back I get error code 2127

My daughter has an iPhone and she can send me a text but when I try to text her back I get the error code 2127. Does anyone know what this means? Does this mean my messages to her are being blocked somehow?

Usually it means you are texting a number which isn't 10 digits in length. I would recommend that you delete the entry in your Contacts for your daughter, then find the text she sent you and create your new Contact from that. If she is listed in your favorites - delete her from there too, then re-add after a successful hook-up.

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

That usually means that y ohave to add a valid payment to your account. Unless you initially set up the account withoeur a credit card

You need a valid payment method even for free stuff

Hello there, ytnoj.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky endeavor and must be done in a very specific way. The following Knowledge Base article provides the step-by-step of the process:

If FaceTime is not hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General<Restrictions) you got duped. iPods officially sold in Dubai and some other countries that prohibit FT do not have FT and there is not way to get FT on those iPods.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them. Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library. It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine. I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.
