TB and Windows 8.1 - Time to eat Humble Pie. 'Cos now it works with TB 31.1.1

Ok. I admit it - I goofed. Sort of. And I need to consume a huge slice of Humble Pie.
Having asked a question on the issue of TB not working after my laptop upgraded from Win 8 to Win 8.1, in which I blasted the folks at Mozilla, I have to make an apology - it now works!!
I had repeatedly tried to get a number of versions of TB to work, the last being 31.0 that I downloaded on August 18th (more than once, too), but my e-mails would not load beyond the date of my 8.1 upgrade (May 12 2014).
Tried it again today. No joy. Hence my rant. Then I saw reference to the latest version of TB. So I downloaded 31.1.1, about 30 mins later. Just to give the 'Good ol' Guys and Gals at Moz' another chance. 'Cos I'm a fan, after all. Deep down. It loaded really fast. I typed in my e-mail address and password. And TB set it up automatically. Quickly. Easily. No hassle. Way to go. And then it started to load e-mails of May 12th 2014. S**t, I said, here we go again. Same old, same old. But then the e-mails kept coming. And coming. Right up to date. All 9300 of 'em.
So, I forgive you. Even though it took youz a while to sort it out. With no obvious, clear cut response on the issue. But then, maybe it was a tough nut to crack (it was Windows, after all. You know, from that other lot). And you're all volunteers, right? So, can you forgive me, too?
Hope so - I'm back in the Moz fold (I never succumbed to IE, Foxy through and through).
Thanks, Guys. And Gals. And......
PS. Can I drop a plug for the Waterfox Project? It uses FireFox as its base, but it runs 64-bit, which Foxy doesn't. And it really is quicker on 64-bit that 32. But they couldn't do it without the 32-bit base. So, keep it up. And try to put Foxy on 64-bit sometime. But then maybe you don't need to, 'cos Waterfox do it for you.

After taking time researching and responding to the first question, i discovered this question which is not a really a question but a further response to your initial question.
Perhaps you should have posted this information in the question you had previously asked so that it has context.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020491#answer-629525
When posting questions, please keep all reponses to that question in the same question. Please do not make further responses as if it were a new question because then no one can follow the thread.
Also, it would have saved me from hopping around and answering questions that did not need a response.
Having advised you of this and perhaps sounding like a school mistress, I'm actually rather pleased to hear that all is now ok :)

    Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
    You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service eating memory

    Hi
    I have Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essentials Role installed. I have integrated server with Azure AD, Office 365 and Intune using the Essentials Dashboard integration tools.
    I can see that Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service are eating much of server memory. What are these services for and why they use a lot of memory? Specially I am wondering about the Email Service. What is
    it for? Server dont handle email in any way so what is this service for? I tried to google it but found nothing.

    Hi
    I have 6GB of memory.
    When I check from Resource Monitor, for Essentials Storage Service, Commit Set is 4G and Working Set is 1,8G.
    Email Service Commit is about 1,8G and Working Set is just below 1G.
    So these two services are reserving almost all the memory.
    Memory is about 85-90% in use all the time, whether it be night or day.
    Server have about 12 users and at the office there is about 2-6 person at the time. Link between server and office is 100M. There are no other services installed but the basic ones. We use server for AD (O365 integration) and file shares. Traffic in File
    Shares are not big. They are more kind of an warehouse that in busy day-to-day use.
    This server is about couple of months old and it has been like this since it was fired up.
    I dont know what to look for from Event Logs and Process Monitor dont give me anything useful.

  • HT5634 iMac (Late 2006 20") with IOS Lion installed Windows 8 via BootCamp4, Then Upgrade to 8.1 Pro. Worked with warning message until today. How do I get out of Windows 8.1 to get back to IOS Lion.

    Until today I was able to ignore the compatability issues warning (I know bad idea to ignore warnings) and move between IOS Lion and Windows 8.1 Pro partitions on my 20" iMac (Late 2006) with Intel processor. After restarting Windows and spending 1/2 hour waiting for it to update (after installing Office 365) Window works fine, but when I activiate BootCamp (from Windows) nothing happens. It opens and gives me the warning with the option to run the program anyway (like always) but it the program never starts. It stays in Windows. How do I get back to IOS 7 Lion so I can upgrade BootCamp 4 to BootCamp 5 which I just saw today as the solution...?

    Power off your computer. Power up your computer, during power up press and hold the option key. When the boot manager appears select OSx.

  • I recently bought an Airport extreme, while I was living in Japan, and had a fiber optic modem. The Airport connected fine and I had wi-fi I moved back to the US, and when I got my docsis(?) modem from COX, it  wont work with my airport extreme help!

    Basically had APxtreme working with fiber optic in Japan, got to the states with Docsis(cisco) modem and my APxtreme doesnt work now. Tried forever, and it just didnt work, I had a yellow light for internet on airport utility with a green light for the APxtreme? Still nothing workey....

    Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Windows 10: I can't find a audio driver that will work with my HP Touchsmart 520.

    I am beta-testing Windows 10; It handles many HP Touchsmart operations well; but it can't find a driver for audio. I have tried many download sites; and Windows Update (which apparently does have some problems as well) and have been unsuccessful in a two-week search.
    I'd appreciate any tips, or direction on how to resolve the problem.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I think many hardware vendors are working with Microsoft to get a good out come for all and specially for customers. Users don't want a product like Windows 8 or Vista, they want a rpoduct like Windows XP or Windows 7. Windows 8.1 (not 8) is much better but many users are still don't like it therefore from my opinion: Microsoft have to do something about that.
    Back to drivers, as mentioned above, vendors are testing. We can raise our voices but still have to wait.
    Regards.

  • I was reading an earlier post about upgrading to 10.9.2 and still using Office for Mac Excell 2004.  Will Excell 2004 work with OS 10.9.2 or is there an Open Office I can use?

    I currently have 10.9.2 and just purchased Office 365.  The 365 won't work for what I want to do.  Need to go backe to Excell 2004.  Is there anyway to do this with my current OS?  Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.

    Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.
    First, MS Office 2004 will not work on versions of OS X Lion or later including your 10.9.2.  On Mavericks you need Office 2011.
    Second, the difference between Excel formats in Office 2008/2011 vs. earlier versions of Excel is that Office 2008/20011 uses the ".xlsx" filetype but earlier versions including Windows Excel 2003 use the older ".xls" filetype.  The older versions of Excel can't open the newer ".xlsx" filetype ... but there is a way you can exchange Excel files between the newer and older versions of Excel!
    In Office 2008/2011 just SAVE AS Excel 97-2004 Workbook (.xls) if you need to use or exchange your Excel file with earlier versions of Excel, Windows or Mac.  And, going the other way, Excel 2008/2011 can open and use the older .xls files just fine.
