Thunderbird refuses to load my profile.

Hello,
For no obvious reason, TB 31.1.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 refuses to load my profile on startup. Instead, it invites me to create a new account. No folders or accounts are loaded.
My ~/.thunderbird/profile.ini folder shows:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0
[Profile0]
Name=Default User
IsRelative=1
Path=glvz4zpg.default
Default=1
The glvz4zpg.default folder is located under ~/.thunderbird and contains all mail and account details.
I have used from the command line thunderbird -profilemanager and played around with new accounts and suchlike without success.
However, it does load my address book and extensions (e.g. Send later). For whatever reason no folders or accounts are created.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

You are my hero.
The link worked. My problem was that prefs.js had been corrupted.
Thankfully, I had backed up TB a few months ago so just used that prefs.js.

Thunderbird can't remember my profiles

Thunderbird is giving me a very strange problem, When I try to load it, I am given the following Error message:
"Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I can fix this and get Thunderbird to load by opening the profile manager and recreating my profile. HOWEVER, once I am done and close Thunderbird, the problem comes back as soon as I open Thunderbird again. Even if I reopen it immediately after closing it.
In other words, Thunderbird can't seem to remember that I have in fact made a working profile, and forgets as soon as it's closed. forcing me to go to the profile manager and recreate it every time I wish to use Thunderbird. Is there any way to fix this?

I open Thunderbird from my start menu, where it is set as my default email program.
When I recreate my profile, I go into the profile manage, delete the old profile, and create a brand new profile. from there, I can create this new profile form scratch or point it to the folder of a previously made profile. both options work and will allow me to open Thunderbird and use it normally, HOWEVER, Thunderbird will still go back to the error mentioned above when closed.
This recreated profile is the only one given to Thunderbird, and Thunderbird set to use that profile by default without asking.
My profiles.ini however, seem to be point to the wrong profile, I think I can fix that, i'll post again in a moment with how that works out.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

Imovie 08 refuses to load after upgrading to Leopard

I got Leopard for christmas and after upgrading imovie worked fine until I upgraded to imovie 08 with ilife. Now it refuses to load after it bounces it just stops and acts like as if I didn't even do anything. I've tried disk utility, and a bunch of other stuggestions but it dfidn't work.

Yes I did all of them. All of them appear to load except for imovie. and I did the installment of ilife 08. For some reason a folder appeared for the older version of imovie and that works fine even though i installed iLife 08, it suddenly made a folder today saying imovie (old version).
I don't get why it is doing that when the others work just fine.
Yes the display options are correct
The only one I know of is the divx codec I believe that is it.

Game center not loading my profile

Game center app on the ipad just says loading and spins never loads my profile and now some of my other games do not load.

Hello Lea1979,
It sounds like your Game Center app is not loading correctly. I would start by logging out of Game Center in the settings:
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
closing the running apps on your phone:
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6c493cac
Then close all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and try loading the Game Center again. You will be prompted to sign back in:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

HI,
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

PhotoShop 2.0 refuses to load properly

Why does my Adobe Photoshop program 2.0 refuse to load up and gives an error message personalization information incomplete . I've reloaded it filled out everything . It's older than E mail registration requires either Fax Phone or mail . How can I circumvent that portion of Reg. ?.

Noel,
There was a time, long ago, when Adobe had at least two "starter level" programs, PhotoDeluxe and also a Photoshop LE. The latter was more often seen bundled with a camera, a scanner, or similar. Think that my copy (never installed) came with an old Nikon scanner, but that WAS a long time ago. I believe that PhotoDeluxe was sold separately, but it might also have been included with some bundle. Though I never used it, I thought of it as more of an Image cataloging program, with limited Image-editing capabilities - not too far from the early versions of PSElements w/ its Organizer, but with a reduced set of editing capabilities, however, I might be wrong.
For less than professional needs, I agree that PSElements would be something that I would think about. It is bound to be much more full-featured, than PhotoDeluxe was, and PSE 11 will run with contemporary OS's. It is really not THAT far behind Photoshop, and the price is very good.

Safari doesn't load monitor profiles

I'm using my mac book pro's internal display with an external display connected through mini display port. I calibrated both of them, but safari 4.0 doesn't load the profiles while firefox does. I looked through safari preferences but I found nothing about color management or monitor profiles.
Any comments would be apprecieated.

Just tested on mine and it's working.
Are you on Wi-Fi? Mine is.

Firefox will not load. It says firefox cannot load, your profile is missing or inaccessiable. Help!

All of sudden firefox would not work. When I click on the icon, I get a message that says Firefox cannot load, your profile is missing or is inaccessiable. I have tried downloading firefox, everything seems fine, and than the same message appears. No matter what I do I cannot get it to work. I am a long time user of firefox, so this is driving me nuts. I hate having to use Internet Explorer.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Some websites say that the connection reset, but after following the instructions to fix it, it still doesn't work, and recently they simply refuse to load.

Recently, Mozilla has refused to load certain webpages for me, saying that 'the connection was reset' or sometimes not loading at all. I don't know what's wrong and if it's just me. So far, I've had problems getting onto Random.org, Serenes Forest.net (which actually didn't load a few times), and Dictionary.com. Is there something wrong with my internet, and if there is, what? And why does this happen? (I don't have wireless internet, if that helps deduce the problem.)
I know that maybe this sounds like something that doesn't have to do with Firefox, but Firefox never did this before, and my computer has always worked fine before, so I think maybe something happened to my Firefox that's corrupted it in some way. Has a problem like this come up before, and if so, was it already solved?

If you are using wi-fi:
1- Are you connected?
2- Check if you have full access or only limited access, limited means no internet connection provided. (if so, proceed step 3)
3- Ping your wi-fi modem IP address:
ping 192.168.2.1 (my modem local IP Address)
If you get high number in round trip time (in miliseconds), turn off your modem for about 1 minute.
3- ping any site that did not load
Wish it may help

Safari refuses to load phpMyAdmin icons

Safari refuses to load image file from our web server phpMyAdmin because of content-security-Policy, yet all other browsers such as Chrome load the images (icons). Attached is a screen shot. This is version 4.01 of phyMyAdmin and the same problem occurs all the way back to phpMyAdmin version 3.5.7 which loads the images (icons). I can find no content-security problem. Hopefully, I have posted to the correct community since only Safari is creating the problem. Running Safari 5.1.9 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
All feedback is appreciated.

I had the same problem. I'm also running Safari 5.1.9 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I just installed phyMyAdmin 4.0.5 and got the same results as on your screenshots.
The problem is the CSP header that blocks the load of external images.
If you comment out some lines in phpMyAdmin-4.0.5/libraries/Header.class.php, you can deactivate the image blocking of the CSP header.

IMovie refuses to load.

It seems that whenever I try to open iMovie, the GUI refuses to load. I can see iMovie up in my tool bar and according to the computer, its running just fine. It might be just coincidence, but this happened right after I downloaded a software update. How should I go about fixing this problem?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Is imovie up to date, have you installed ilife support 8.2, are your display preferences set properly for your display.

How do you continue a game app on a restored device that refuses to load the old game?

I have recently today restored my device since I have frogotten the orignal password to my iPod at that time. I reinstalled all of my apps, and most of them seems to load the old game I had on my device (thanks to my GameCenter account). But, there are 4 games that refuse to load the old game. Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary, Mini Pets, My Talking Tom, and Naughty Kitties. The only game that mentions my game saved on my GameCenter account is Flutter, saying "Sorry, your Flutter account is already associated with a differnet GameCenter account." Flutter still plays from the start.
What I am trying to say is that there are games I redownloaded that will not connect to my GameCenter account after restoring my iPod. Is there any way to load my previous games back onto my restored device? The only app I really want to keep is Flutter, because I had made a lot of progress on it.
I'd recommend a person who's experienced with the apps I have listed to answer my question, but if anyone else knows a thing or two, go for it.

Just what do you mean by "refuse to load the old game."?
He means the progress of the game. Like where he was, what level he was on, his lives, etc.
As for the OP, restore from an old backup and use lllaass' directions. Then restore as new.
