Thunderbird 13.0-1 hangs mouse and most of the desktop

After the latest Thunderbird (to version 13.0-1-0) I experience a very annoying bug: at unpredictable moments the mousepointer in Thunderbird changes shape (from arrow into document icon) and becomes unresponsive, which makes working very difficult. The only way out (also to access other programmes) is to restart Thunderbird.
I haven't yet been able to estabish what triggers this "dead mousepointer" phenomenon.

Strange. Only workaround I can think of is switching between HWcursor and SWcursor in your video driver.

  • HT203167 So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    For iTunes purchased music you might be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to it from your computer then no, it won't be stored anywhere

    When I open FF there is no text displaying(menus, content, etc.), and most of the window is blacked out. For example... I can see the the firefox button on the top left corner, when I go to it the drop down list drops and there is no text, if I move down the drop down I hit where there is a slide out in that drop down and no text is there. So, to start in safe mode you need to go to the firefox button, and click on start in safe mode. I can't See safe mode or click on anything were safe mode should be.

    hello, close all firefox windows & hold the shift-key while opening firefox in order to launch it in safemode. in the first dialog just choose "continue in safemode" and go to firefox > options > advanced > general. in there disable hardware acceleration, restart firefox normally again and see if this has changed anything.

    You should be able to change the permissions on the files.. this is yet another bungle by Mavericks I suspect.

    Sometimes it is because you Migrated wrongly.

    It is not up to Mavericks because sadly the guy who wrote all this great info died recently.

  • I'm an artist with a number of CDs in the itunes store and most of the customer reviews are missing or hidden.  Anyone have a solution?

    I'm an artist with a number of CDs in the itunes store and most of the customer reviews and ratings are missing or hidden.  I know there have been reviews posted but I can't see them on my computer in the itunes store.  Anyone have a solution?

    You aren't being left in any lurch. Your hardware is obsolete, and the software world has moved on. If you have a qualm about the matter then discuss it with the software's developers. Apple is not responsible for software they do not develop. This is technology, and you will just need to get used to it.

  • I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange!  How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it?  Thanks in advance....

    Please help!  I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong!  Many thanks...

    Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
    I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
    They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
    Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

  • Is it possible to connect an older Power Mac (running OS 10.5.8) to an iMac running 10.9.5. I want to share the monitor, keyboard and mouse and switch between the two computers.

  • I upgraded to Yosemite OSX 10.10.1 and most of the the favicons disappeared in favorites folders.

    I upgraded to Yosemite OSX 10.10.1 and most of the the favicons disappeared in favorites folders. So much slower to find folders.

    Returning to Mail Preferences - Junk Mail, in the section
    When junk mail arrives:
    select mark as junk mail but leave it in my inbox
    This should then give you the opportunity to mark it as Not Junk
    and after several days it may improve.
    I say 'may improve', based on my experience of when I upgraded to 10.5 a few years ago.  It took a while to learn what I kept insisting was not junk. It is a slow learner but it got there.
    P.S. When you are satisfied it is identifying junk reasonably accurately, you can change the Preferences setting back to  'Move it to the Junk mail box'

  • I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done

    I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done. How can i get a refund or credit for this?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I recently bought and downloaded an album and most of the songs will only play half way then stop can i do anything about this?

    i bought the album Attack! Attack! by Attack Attack and most of the songs will only play halfway then they will just go silent i have tried contacting apple about this but have found no real topic on their site to do with this problem and there seems to be no email address for support that i can find can an of you help me?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I want to chang all the music on my i pod and it will not let me. how do I do it? and most of the music on my i pod I do not have no more and I can not take it off. how do I take it off?

    I want to chang the music on my i pod and most of the music i do not have no more that is on my ipod, how do I chang it?

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

    Hey mooshi20003,
    Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. You might also want to look at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Is ThERE A WAY TO HOoK UP A BLUETOoTH MOUSE AND KEYBORD TO THE PLAYBOoK AT THE SAME TIME?

    Is there a way to hook up both a blutooth mouse and keybord to the Playbook at the same time? If so how?

    I have an E-Bay Cheap mouse (Speedlink) and a PCWorld cheap keyboard (Advent) both connected at the same time.
    These both connected at the same time when first installed - but on subsequent connections one is required to be deleted and re-added.
    Have you tried connecting one, deleting the other and then re-pairing?
