Thunderbird updated yesterday and now nothing is displayed except the top toolbars.What do I do?

My address book is still there, and it still showed that it downloaded my new messages, but there is no way to access them. The whole screen is blank except for the toolbars at the top. No Inbox, folders, nothing. Guess I shouldn't have updated.

Nope. "…after upgrading to TB31 on a Windows 7 system…"
The similarity led me to wonder if this was a TB31 issue rather than Windows version related.
This below is from the system where it all happened, though now of course I have reverted to an older TB:
Name Thunderbird
Version 24.6.0
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.6.0
Application Build ID 20140610001341
Elsewhere it says "Windows 7 Professional" and "Service Pack 1" though of course all that is displayed the traditional perverse Microsoft way in a non copy-and-pastable format. :-S
I now use gContactSync which also wanted to do some some reformatting, but the one bit that's survived intact is the Address Book. It would be odd for different contact sync tools to have trashed the mailstore and settings files, eh?
I've also seen reports that MoreFunctionsForAddressBooks breaks auto-completion in TB31, but I don't see that happening on my trusty Linux box.
I'm back at work this work after a break and some illness, and in that time away I was using exclusively Android and Linux. I'm not a big fan of the tablet and Android, but I'd forgotten just how painful and awkward it has become to use Windows. People, look around. There are free alternatives and they let you do it as you want, not as dictated by Redmond!
I'm currently copying my important work stuff over to Outlook. I'm scared of what might happen next time if I inadvertently let TB "upgrade" again. :-(

This was NOT an update, rather a downgrade... the font size in text messages is now smaller and difficult to read. I have tried changing font size in settings and it does not apply to text messages. The lock/unlock screen pattern now reminds me of drawing a stick figure. My vehicle is now having problems with Bluetooth importation of my phone book--I keep receiving an on screen error message as it tries to continuously reattempt to import... And yes, the live weather wallpaper i favored is no longer an option... Why?

beggsc54, There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
Thanks!

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

BT netprotect...updated yesterday and now won't ac...

Hi!
During yesterday BT netprotect updated itself and I thought all was ok. Turned on the PC this morning to find a windows message saying security was at rislk and firewall and anti viral software were not turned on.
Cliked 'turn on' and seemed OK but go to BT netprotect to check and it is is still red (indicating action needed). I click on the 'activate' and nothing happens.
I use BT infinity (option 3) and windows 7. Have read McAfee's forum and can't see a fix.
Simple answer only please....pretty useless with a computer....
Thanks

Opened BTNP and now see the following-
realtime scanning off, switched it back on
firewall is off, switched it back on
spyware checking is off, TRYING to switch it back on
repeat the realtime, firewall many times
still getting multiple warnings
(BT, I'm already peed off with the hub, you didn't have to throw this one at me too!!)
Well after trying everything I could think of to resolve this, nothing worked.
Uninstalled BTNP from this laptop and installed MSE (with McA siteadvisor) - WOW, the laptop is ruddy quick now
Will be dropping BTNP from the other laptop and the desktop in due course.
note to BT and McA - thanks, it's been reliable for me since feb09, shame you 'improved' it.

Updated Software and now nothing works

I just recently done a software update to my Macbook Pro and when it had finished and I went to use the likes of Mozilla or Safari, they wouldnt work. Tried to use the system update again, it wouldn't work. So basically nothing will open at all. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I could do so it will work?

Did you restart your Mac after the installs, and repair permissions?
Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

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.

My iphone just was updated yesterday and now my calendars won't synch, how can I get this to work again?

I just updated my iphone4g and now when synching my calendars will not update. How can I fix this?

System restore can do that, I recommend to avoid using system restore, it can create problems as well as solve them.
Try deleting the Firefox installation directory and then re-installing Firefox 3.6
For 32 bit Windows the default location of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory] is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
