Synchronisation problems and popstate folders

After the last update and to be honest moving my profile folder to another location so I can work on multiple computers I get a huge problem. Everytime when i start up Thunderbird I get many popstate-xx.dat folders.. Sometimes even more than 100 !! And I do have a few mail addresses there so i get hundreds of this files that is causing a problem and I also get a folder Inbox (File with conflict Windows xxx my computer name 2014-12-28 ) This is also coming every time.. I tried to delete some files inside the profile folder (when Thunderbird was closed) but nothing seems to help. This is seriously effecting my company and I am asking urgently for a solution. I see more people have this problem. Please help.

Are you using Thunderbird portable as well as about everyone else I have seen lately with popstat issues?
</blockquote>
Hey Matt,
Thjanks for the reply and sorry for my later response.. No I am not using a Portable version Only the normal (latest version) thunderbird. I found out what the cause and it seems Thunderbird cannot handle a shared profile very well. I tried to put my profile in dropbox and this way I was planning to work with two computers (office and home office). But unfortunately it gives a lot of headache. I placed back the profile in the default location and tried again (after removing a lot of postate-xx.dat files). Now it is working normal again but at this moment my mail is not synchronised anymore. I had to solve it now with one Thunderbird saying leave the mail on the server. It is a shame that it did not work but too much trouble forged me to it. If you have a great idea it would be very welcome.

  • Synchronisation problems between apple mail client on a MacBook Pro and Gmail

    I am having synchronisation problems between apple mail client and gmail on the MacBook Pro, but no similar problems on the ipad and iphone. My mail is not being collected by the aplle mail client on the laptop, and now all my inbox for my gmail account has disappeared, although the Archive and sub folders under "Google" are still showing.
    This is an intermittent problem.
    I have previousy re-built the mailbox and solved the problem, but there must be something more fundamental going on, as the problem has occurred again.
    Anyone have any tips?

    Sorry, but no. POP3 versus IMAP has nothing to do with keeping spam off your computer. Your ISP should be doing its filtering before the mail reached the mail server in either case, and your Mac would be doing its filtering after downloading the mail from the mail server in either case. (Your iPad does no filtering at all.)

    Is there anyone there? I hope there is someone who can you understand this problem and have the common sense to respond?
    I open gmail. I want to save an email to one of my folders.
    I position my cursor over the appropriate Folder icon or by choice, to the Trash.
    The friendly finger pointing cursor icon changes to an arrow icon.
    The hand icon allows me flawless access to opening and/or moving emails.
    The arrow, however does not open the link.
    On the Google menu bar the cursor hand with finger opens the links to Everett (my name), Search, Images, Maps and Play.
    When I attempt to open the remaining links in the menu bar (YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and More) the arrow icon replaces the hand. The arrow icon does not work. It will not activate these links.  Nor does it open email messages in the Inbox.
    Usually I reset, even reboot Safire and sometimes the problem goes away, then reappears.
    Can you imagine if this condition should it happen to a tech savvy Google Support person? Perhaps one can share and make my problem go away.
    I am considering dropping Google as my mail source. Unfortunate!

IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

  • Recently my mozilla opened emails show loading problem of pages and emails in inbox are not getting opened and other folders of email also not getting loaded

    recently i have downloaded many video converter softwares. After that whenever i open my emails, I am not able to load the pages. Only it opens to inbox and when i click any mail in inbox, it opens the mail and immediately close that automatically within seconds and not able to view mail. It also displays error message on top for a second (e.g. problem in loading) same error message appears when i try to open any other folder like junk, draft etc. in the email and the folders does not open and only inbox comes back but could not open any emails. Same is the case with any picture files or such things accessed thru google search, it never opens and if opens like email, immediately closes. I tried removing and re-installing mozilla, but still the problem persists.

  • Synchronisation problem between Curve 9300 and Outlook

    I have a Curve 9300 on 6.0 that synchronize with Outlook 2007.
    Everything worked fine until last week (or so) when my Calendar entries on the BB don't synchronize anymore with Outlook. The Outlook Calender entries still synchronise on the BB. Everything else synchronise perfectly.
    Since this is a new problem, I assume that something has changed either on the BB or on Outlook that makes this feature stop working. This is making my life complicated. Has anyone experienced a similar problem, and has found a solution?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Every time I try to add a new video to my photo folder...iTunes says it's experiencing a problem and then it crashes and shuts down. What can I do to add video to my photo folders?

    Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
    - Close iTunes, if it's open
    - Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
    - Select 'Security' on the top
    - Untick all the security options in the menu
    - Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
    - Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
    - Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
    - You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
    - Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
    Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
    I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
    I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

    big help. In our session we keep getting this problem where the song counter stops, the music keeps playing and we get an error message saying:

    We looked in the tempo list and somehow there was a tempo event of 0.00 tempo in there.

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

    I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
    After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
    Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
    "It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
    I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
    If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
    Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
    Tony

    Tony,
    Here's something you might try:
    Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
    If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
    And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I am trying to generate a project as WebHelp and after about 10 minutes of generating, the following error message appears: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
    I am able to generate all other projects, just not this project.
    This project is not on the network. It used to be on the network, but I moved it to my local directory awhile ago.
    I tried restarting the computer. I tried generating from another computer and that did not work either.
    I tried repairing the CPD through Microsoft Access. (I am not able to rename the CPD, because when I do that, almost all of my topics appear as broken links, so I use Microsoft Access to repair the CPD instead).
    Is there anything else I can check or try?
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    Thanks. I didn't see anything in the .HHP.
    However, I think I'm getting closer to finding the solution (at least I
    think I've found the problem).
    I have various conditional tags. One is called "uni2" and one is called
    "Remove_in_uni2".
    When I generate with "uni2" excluded and "Remove_in_uni2" included, the
    WebHelp generates.
    When I switch them ("Remove_in_uni2" excluded and "uni2" included), then I
    get the error.
    I tried removing the underscores - didn't work.
    I tried renaming it to RemoveIn18 - didn't work.
    Any suggestions, anyone?
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    The CPD is created from RoboHelp's internal files so a repair will not
    necessarily fix the issue as Access will not know what to look for. A
    rebuild is what is needed and it should not result in the broken links you
    are seeing. However, that can happen and I have seen it. After repairing
    the links, I had no further problems. Try generating a CHM first as if that
    will create, it may make changes to the HHP that prevent the broken links.
    Also take a look in the HHP for any obvious path errors.
    Do you have many folders in the project? If not, creating a new project
    should not be too painful as you can import all the topics in a folder in
    one hit.

    Well I was able to successfully revert back to iTunes8. Here's my steps:
    1. In Add/Remove Programs I deleted all Apple products (iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Bonjour, etc.)
    2. I then check C:\Program Files\ and made sure all folders were deleted (QuickTime, etc.)
    3. I then ran a Registry Cleaner program to make sure all entries from Apple products were removed.
    4. I then rebooted my PC
    5. I then downloaded iTunes8.0.2 from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
    6. After it installed it said it could use my iTunes library file because it was created with a newer version. So I re-created my library by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    It took some time but iTunes is now back up and running. And I have all my playlists, etc. I haven't tried to sync anything yet. I'm just thrilled to have my iTunes back!

    I had the same issue. I found a solution under a different thread posted by scubastevee32. It worked for me. I copied pasted his solution below.
    after countless hours of dead ends.... I found this to fix the problem(thank you "b noir")
    hat one could be being caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    so let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

    Have you tried uninstalling Quicktime? If not try that. If you are still having problems then do this.
    1. Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime.
    2. Delete the folders iTunes and Quicktime where installed in.
    3. Reboot.
    4. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your User ID>>\Application Data\Apple Computer\
    5. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your User ID>>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer
    6. Delete if in your My Documents folder there is a folder called My Music with a folder in it called iTunes. Delete or rename the iTunes folder.
    7. Reboot.
    8. Turn off all anti virus and firewall software.
    9. Re-install iTuens.
    If you still get an error after that your Windows install is hosed. You will need to format and re-install it first.

  • Sync Multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders

    We have multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders in Outlook (Work and Personal). Is it possible to sync multiple folders to the iPhone?

    The problem is excactly what I just found out while trying to sync my new N97, which I also bought for the reason, it was said to be able to sync my outlook contacts (etc.). But sorry, just syncing one folder nearly equals to it cannot sync at all. I am really upset, to see the lack of this function to such a sophisticated mobile and software. (The mobile cannot do nothing about it, it is a problem of PC Suite. But the mobile worth only so much, as it is supported by the software!)
    To add to blutarskys request, it is not only used in business, that people have folders in Outlook contacts. Hello, it is the most convenient way, to organize groups of contacts, like family, friends, colleagues, support, etc. pp. Myriads of people use that function as it is one of the most basic functions.
    So please Nokia, launch this feature up asap. It is deeply requested.
    Without, N97 is of no use for me. I still cannot believe, it is not possible. I still just hope someone will state, that we just overlooked it.
    Kind regards.
