Thunderbird keeps wanting to compact files How do I stop this,I don't want this

Thunderbird keeps wanting to compact files!
I do not want this as I deleate them after a couple of weeks or save them to a file on the computer
It keeps wanting to compact a dozen times a day !
once a day is ok but everytime I look at an email it wants to Compact
Don't like that
Thank you
Barry

My Question is
WHY would I lose my email, only if someone that thinks! I'm smart takes them,or writes a program to do that
1) any I want, I save into a file on my comp, not in the email program
2) when I deleate at least once a week I delete the deleted files
I donot use the deleted folder as storage
ON my previous email I had it to empty the deleted folder on closing the program, more sence
3) This is a dusy about 10 or more yrs ago ! I compacted my email because my disk space was low, guess what! IT used up the space I had and locked my computer that I had to format the drive!!
SO in my opinion compacting does not save disk space! ITS B S
4) I have read that your compactor slowes down the email program
SO why is it in my face all the time

Sorry, but you'll need to provide a more complete explanation as to what it is you wish to do before anyone can offer intelligent advice.

Firefox keeps making me save files from my school Blackboard, and I don't want to save them, I just want to open them. How do I do this?

Every other computer just asks "would you like to save this or open it?" But on mine, it doesn't ask, it just takes you to someplace you can save it. I'm sure this is a really simple fix, but I can't figure it out! Thanks.

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which is likely to be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
(The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
Please find the cause of it! Thank you!

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

it is useful to offer some info on what type of account you're talking about.
'''POP'''
Pop mail accounts only look at Inbox and download whatever has not been previously downloaded. They cannot access nor download from any other folder on the server.
So if you do not want older emails downloading, then you need to access your webmail account using a browser and move all older emails into a suitable folder, but not the Inbox, then Thunderbird cannot see them.
By default, it usually downloads and deletes the copy on the server, but you can change this preference.
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
or
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
select: 'leave messages on the server'
optional:
select: 'for at most xx days'
this will delete anything older than specified number of days
select 'Until I delete them'
when you delete an email it will be deleted off the server.
click on Ok to save settings.
'''Stopping a download:'''
There is a button you can add to the Mail toolbar.
* View > Toolbars > customise
or
* Menu Icon > Options > Toolbar Layout
Drag the 'Stop' icon onto toolbar.
close Customise window - top right X.
click on 'Stop' icon to stop current action of download.
'''IMAP:'''
IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the subscribed folders on the server, so you would see whatever is in any subscribed folder.
You can choose to synchronize subscribed folders and select settings to limit what is downloaded.
Tools > Account Settings > synchronization & storage.
see good info at this link:

We don't want you to be annoyed with messages pmarx! Are you using third party messaging applications that you downloaded from the Play Store? I recommend testing the device with the standard messaging application.

I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?

I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.

I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
Sorry for bad English.

Hi dfrost10,
I wouldn't be surprised if you were hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware]. I'd probably investigate that first.
If that isn't the case, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

My itunes is acting weird it has this sheild on it and a pop up appears everytime i want to open it, how do I stop that

When I activate itunes it switches to windows basic, and it has a shield on the icon and a pop up appears when i want to open it how do I stop that and change itunes so it doesn't do that?

It sounds a bit like a compatibility mode may have been set for iTunes.
Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

This has nothing to do with CC or any of that. You have insufficient user privileges to write files locally on your computer or a technical issue gets in teh way. Since you have not provided any system info or otehr details, we cannot tell you more than that.

When I open to my desktop, my Windows Excell automatically opens, how can I stop that? I just want my desktop.

Every time I open my desk top my Windows Excell automatically opens. How do I stop that? I just want my desktop to open.
Thanks, Jamie

Look in System Preferences - Users & Groups - Highlight your user Account - Login Items - and then if you see Excel in the list then select it and click the - symbol in the box to remove it. Log out of your account and login to test.

You can clear history with these instructions: [[How do I clear private data on Firefox for Android?]] and with these you can clear the app data:
Go to App manager and select Firefox, clear app data. (Please note this will wipe all data from the app storage including profile)
