Thunderbird automatically updated to version 24.6.0. It deleted all of my saved emails without warning me. Can I recover these????

How can I recover these saved emails???

It was like I was starting Thunderbird for the first time. Created the new accounts, although it did pull all the account information over. Just upset that it didn't warn me to back up everything. Had several important emails sitting in my inbox. Went to open Thunderbird and got the message of "Please wait, installing updates". When it opened everything was gone......

Why didn't you warn me that updating from version 34 to 35 would delete ALL of my saved passwords?!?

Just update Firefox from version 34 to version 35. Deleted ALL of my stored passwords. Thank you very little.
Did it on two machines. Makes me want to not use Firefox any more.

hello disgruntle, sorry about that - could you go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on and how to resolve things...

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox - it is giving no response.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

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 and the updater process.

ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
Thanks!!

I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem. I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created. Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program. Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem. I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system. Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program. Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents? How?

I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.
So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes (for windows) and all of my saved Genius playlists disappeared and now Genius doesn't work. Any thoughts?

HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..." Why?

My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated. I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
"Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch. To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems. This third one, however has the warning above.
How do I fix this problem?
By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
Thanks.

Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

Mozilla Thunderbird automatic updating is not working at all. How to fix the problem ?

I have Mozilla Thunderbird on a Windows 7 computer. Mozilla Thunderbird does not update automatically to the latest version. In settings, I have enabled automatic updating of course. How to fix the problem ? I have Mozilla Thunderbird 17.0.8. on my computer at the moment.

Helpointa on varmasti vain poistaa nykyinen asennus Windowsin Lisää/Poista ohjelmia toiminnolla ja asentaa uusin versio.
Asetusten, sähköpostien yms. pitäisi säilyä kunhan et poista niitä ohjelman poistamisen yhteydessä.

How do I get my numbers spreadsheet changes to automatically update idisk version to use on macbook and vice versa without manually doing it?

I am a relatively new APPLE type of guy.
I have a fancy new MACBOOK Pro and a fancy new IPHONE.
I've left the Micosoft world and have decided to embrace iWork.
Was happy to see app release of iwork for iphone - purchased it - and even though spreadsheets on a tiny phone are a bit tough to get used to - i've decided to keep track of my gym work outs on the phone.
So I set up a work-out spreadsheet on my mac - threw it it idisk - and sucked it into numbers on the phone.
So far so good.
Can't seem to figure out though how to have my iphone and mac syncing with any changes to the spreadsheet i make at either end. I have a copy on idisk - and when i save a change on the macbook the change is made to the idisk file - cool - but i can't figure out how when i'm at the gym entering new data - to have that info automatically updating the idisk version.
any ideas?
or am I just a dumb jock thinking that all of this is actually possible with out me continually bringing in new versions of the spreadsheet from idisk into the numbers version on the iphone?
thanks in advance

Windows performed an automatic update. I am now unable to use Firefox. I receive an error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". Windows IE works, Outlook works. What did Microsoft do to me this time?!!!

Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..."

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.

Can i recover them from the Iphone?

Did you mean update to iTunes?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

While updating software of Ipad, it stop working and only shows the Apple on screen. How can I recover?

While I was updating the software of my IPad, it stopped working and only shows the apple logo. How can I recover my IPad?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
