Thunderbird just "spinning" no email downloaded no error message

My email hasn't updated since Jan 20. The spinning circle indicator just spins endlessly with no error messages and no information as to what it's trying to do. Any help?

No Dice. That didn't work. I can send email but get an error message saying that Thunderbird encountered a problem while trying to save the message to the sent folder.
Don't know if that helps.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

TS1702 In plain english how do you download past error message 0x800B0101

In plain english how do you download past error message 0x8ooB0101?

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 and the plugin-container 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.

Downloading podcast error message

I am unable to download any free podcasts. I subscribe successfully, but when I click "Get" a grey exclamation point appears immediately. The error message is "There was a problem downloading "the podcast" . The required folder cannot be found. Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
I get this message everytime I attempt to download something on ITunes. I have disabled the firewall and pop up blockers. Nothing changes -- same error message. I use Mozilla Firefox as a browser.
Any suggestions?

PDFs will not open in Windows 7 (downloads receive error message)

I have spent so much time on this and it is so frustrating! There are many other forums on the web with other frustrated customers/clients using different versions of Windows / AV and the same problem. I am using Windows 7, downloaded Adobe Reader X. The program installed fine. When I download pdfs from email, and then open them in Adobe X, everything is "a-okay." However, when I save a document from the internet and then download it from windows 7 (same procedure), I get the error message that the file is corrupted or damaged. EVERY SINGLE FILE FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATE OR LEGAL WEBSITES that, also, previously opened fine in prior version of Adobe Reader. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, "repaired," uninstalled again with Norton & Window AV off and installed again ... still no luck. I depend on this Reader EVERYDAY!! I have seen numerous threads with this, BUT no solutions!! Please help!

I just had to let you know that with your help, I have CS2 up and running.
The path to the "Run as Administrator" was a little different. There was no
CS2 icon, but I found what I needed by right-clicking the setup.exe icon.
Thank you SO much. This was a puzzle to many people who gave up thinking
that because the CS2 and Win7 are not officially compatible, that it
couldn't work.
I toast you! Clink!

My emails from the last five years have disappeared and trying to receive new emails generates an error message

My antivirus scan secured a FakeAlert threat. Now, all emails from the past five years are no longer visible in my Inbox and are not in the Deleted Items folder. Any time I try to receive a new email I receive the following message:
"There was an error downloading the following message:
From: <sender>
Subject: <subject>
This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?"
Enter No:
"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."
I have write privileges and 184 GB of free disk space. I recently deleted many emails and compacted my inbox. I cannot restore any files that the scan deleted because there are none visible.
I have contacted my antivirus software providers and they concluded that the problem lies with my email software. Can you please help?

REmove all emails from the Inbox to other folders.
When it is empty do the next stage.
If you are using a POP mail account and have some emails in the webmail view that are missing in Thunderbird, you could get everything currently on the server downloaded again.
Make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In Thunderbird
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'Show Folder' button
* '''close Thunderbird now - this is important. '''
* clickon 'Mail' folder
* click on mail account name
* Locate and delete these files: '''Inbox and Inbox.msf'''
* locate and delete this file: '''popstate.dat'''
* close the window - top right X
* restart Thunderbird
A new Inbox will be created.
A new popstate.dat file will be created.
It keeps a record of everything downloaded, as it is new and empty, TB will believe everything currently in server Inbox needs to be downloaded.
This will get everything currently in server Inbox back in Thunderbird. As you already have some emails, you may get some duplicates, but only the once.
I would not expect any emails are recoverable from the Inbox in Thunderbird because they may have been corrupted by either an unknown reason or by the antivirus program doing something with the file to make emails lose information, it is possible that when you compacted the file emails were lost. Compacting removes 'marked as deleted' emails, but if it didi not know where a marked as deleted email ended, good emails could have been removed due to the corruption.
In future, compacting should be done on a regular basis, but never compact a file/folder that you think may be corrupted. Getting the error message saying the file may be corrupted was a good hint that somethig was wrong.
Report back on results.

Email Address Change -- error message rec'd

I just changed my email address and now I'm having difficulty accessing iTunes. The error message says to be sure my computer allows cookies from iTunes. Sounds basic, but I don't know how to do this. Can anyone shed some light for me? Thanks.

Have you set up your email as a BIS account (you log onto a website to set up the BB accounts)?
or do you need to leave your PC and outlook and Desktop Redirector running all the time?
it sounds like an Outlook issue running in conjunction with a Antivirus/antispam program.....

HT201413 I do not have an apple product, but I do have Itunes on my computer, and it will not let me play my downloaded music-error message computer needs registered, and it is. Can you help me?

I have had iTunes on my computer, which is not an apple poducts for about 6 or 7yrs now, just recently it will not let me play the music I have downloaded. I get a error message stating this computer is not registered. So I put in the information to register it, and it tells me that this computer is already registered. But I still can't play my music, the error message just keeps popping up. Can anyone help me?

Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

Added iCloud to ipad but now iTunes won't allow downloads. Error message: cannot connect to iTunes

I can open iTunes but if I click to download any app an error message pops up stating cannot connect to iTunes please try again later. I reset my Wifi router n deleted address and reset it on ipad, iTunes password reset then updated on ipad, restarted devices and still nothing. I just added iCloud to my ipad and it may have an incompatibility problem and all my phones and iPods don't get an error message and downloading completes no problem. Please help,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Logging into iCloud with the Apple ID you use for iTunes, won't affect iTunes in anyway.

"Unable to download items" error message on iPhone Music App

On my new iPhone only some of the songs from my itunes song list would download to the "Music" app. All the Albume covers and titels show in the dowloads section of my itunes app but underneath the song title it says "Download error. Tap to retry"? When I do I keep getting the error message "Unable to download items"? Funny because about 10 of the songs from the itunes app moved over to the music app but the rest won't? Anybody run into this? Thanks!

I am still working on this problem and I just noticed that when I go back into itunes on my computer and then go to "File" then "Devices" all the tabs under devices are greyed out so I am unable to sync or transfer purchases?

Tried sending via a list (contains my own address twice), send folder is updated, no email returned, no error messages returned

T'bird 32.1.0.
I send a newsletter each week to 3 different mailing lists. (my own address is on first list.)
Today I got no error messages. Sent folder contained confirmation copies. No one received a copy.
I created a new list, 2 entries - both my name - sent. No errors. No e-mail message sent.
Suggestions?

You don't need to use, and shouldn't be using Bcc: in mail merge. Each message is addressed to just one recipient. Since that message is uniquely addressed there's no point or value in hiding the addressees. So you just use To:. Your CSV file attempt sounds better suited, but it can be very picky about the CSV file structure, using quote marks to include spaces and so on.
I don't have any real use for mail merge myself so can't speak for its usefulness or performance. When I have tried even small mailings to just a few of my own email addresses, it seemed a bit fragile and prone to stopping and getting stuck, leaving you with no clear idea of which messages had been sent and which needed to be attempted again.
The mail merge built into the open office/libre office suites seems to work rather better.
