Thunderbird autocomplete for PC Version 31.4.0 appears to have changed in a very annoying way (also on the latest Mac version)
Hi Support,
I manage email accounts for several users - one of which is my wife. I noticed an autocomplete problem on my version of Thunderbird (on a mac) - and a little while later my wife complained about the same issue on her version (PC version 31.4.0). The problem is that the order in the autocomplete list for the email addresses we have been typing have changed. Instead of the most commonly typed version of an email address which we used to use appearing at the list top, it now lists old email addresses and badly formed email addresses that we have not seen for ages. This is causing havoc as we think we have sent an email to the right person e.g., [email protected], but instead an old (like 6 years old) one comes up at the top of the list ([email protected]) or badly formed email addresses ('me>> <[email protected]). Since the order used to be correct we often hit send too quickly only to find we sent the email to the wrong place or fails.
It seems unlikely that this issue is only confined to us as we have both hit this problem independently on different operating systems after recently upgrading Thunderbird. I hope there is a fix for this either now or in the very near future or I will have to clear out the saved addresses or if it persists - use a different email client.
Cheers
Peter
It is a combination of a bug and a misguided change in the search option. The auto complete used to go on "starts with" but now it uses " includes".
We keep hearing that they are working on a fix but so far all versions after v31 have this issue.
The last general release that worked properly was v24.6. You might want to go back to that version.

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.
How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality. -
i just bought ilife11 from a friend and tried to install it but it says I need to have 10.6 or later. I have 10.5.8. Can I upgrade to the latest version with a "download" ?

You need Snow Leopard before you can go to Lion...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements...

I have no sound on macbook air. This is the latest version (purchased July 2013) and just recently sound will not work at all, even with headphones. Help?
did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
* this occurrence is being looked into.
Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
Test this and re-verify

I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?
It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3? iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.
If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod. -
When I update an app it asks for my password (as usual) but now there is no touch keyboard or other way to enter the password. This problem started, I think, after the latest OS update.What's going on?
I tried a reset and it did the trick.

I cannot access files I uploaded from an old computer. The email account to which some tracks are connected is deleted. For some reason my birth date doesn't work either. Is there some way to transfer the files to my current address and username?
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008
I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!! This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence. I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again... is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?) -
What is the latest Mac OS X I can download from apple for the eMac?
I want to update the OS X on my eMac, but can not afford OS X 10.5.8. I currently have OS X 10.4.11. I am looking for the latest OS X I can download for free from apple or any other website that will carry a newer OS X for my eMac. I did find a disk one for OS X 10.4.2 in the trash the other day, but not sure if it's a newer OS X or even if I need a disk 2. Here are my specs:
Machine Model: PowerMac6,4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.2f1
Please Help,
EddieThe highest all eMacs can go to is Leopard 10.5.8. Like the others said, an install CD set is the only way to do this, I don't know if apple has them anymore but they usually go for around $60 online and eBay. Once you upgrade to 10.5.8, you can run safari 5.0.6, which lets you do almost anything online. Or on the other hand, for the $60 you'd spend on a CD set you could probably buy another used mac online which already has 10.5.8 for almost the same price.

I have tried over and over to send this large file. I've never synced before so i got that all set up. Then asking for master passwork to security device. Don't think I had ever set up an account so did that and created password. When trying to send the email I ask to link it goes to 'box' and I authorize thunderbird to use use it. then it ask for master password and I type that in and it doesn't work. I have reset master pw for firefox and thunderbird and still can't get it to work. I really don't know what I am doing here so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
In my previous response, I gave a link to this website page:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password
It contained some information about what to do if TB keeps asking for a 'Master Password' which was never set. This was an old bug that was resolved years ago, so it is surprising you are getting it assuming the Thunderbird Master Password was never set.
However, your comments are confusing because they are conflicting; in your question you say:
'' I have changed master pw on firefox and TB ''
This implies you set a master password in Thunderbird and changed it, but in last comment you say you never defined it:
'' I have used the Firefox direction to eliminate the master password, which I never defined in the first place,''
I'm not sure what you mean by 'I have used the Firefox direction' - perhaps you mean the link I gave. As of course we are not talking about firefox :)
So, at this point, it is hard to know what you did because you are posting conflicting information.
Using info at the link, I presume you tried this:
quote
''Thunderbird: Choose Tools -> Error Console, paste the expression: openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul") and press the Evaluate button. That will open a dialog asking you if you want to reset your password. ''
quote
''If that doesn't work exit Thunderbird and delete the '''key3.db''' file in your profile.''
Did you do this? You do not say if you did this.
At no point does it say uninstall Mozilla Thunderbird program, so I do not know why you would do it. Uninstalling the Program has nothing to do with your Profile for very obvious reasons.
'''More clearer instructions on how to delete the '''key3.db''' file.'''
Make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
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".
Assuming your Profile was stored in the default place, it can be located here:
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
Thunderbird must be closed before doing anything in the Profile folders.
If you have since reinstalled Thunderbird, you can also use it to get quick access to your Profile folders.
In Thunderbird
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'show folder' button
* '''Close/Exit Thunderbird - this is important'''
* Look for and delete this file : '''key3.db''' file.
* Restart Thunderbird.
