Trying To Access My Account Settings?
I have two accounts - when I try to access my account settings - Tools - Account Settings - Window for account
settings: But, when I click on any of the choices (including my name) I get the following: "Account Wizard -
An Account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name." When I switch profiles and go into my wifes account I am able to access her account settings with no problem.
The rest of my Thunderbird account is working normally.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I'm having what appears to be the same problem. All Google Mail accounts can be edited without problems, one that is Office365 shows a problem.
From the Thunderbird main window, right click on the afflicted email account in the account tree and select 'Settings' the Account Settings dialog is displayed. From here if OK is clicked, with or without any changes, or if any of the other dialog panes are selected ( Server Settings, Copies & Folders etc.) then Thunderbird dislpays an error box 'Account Wizard' with the message 'An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name.'
As far as I can recall previously everything worked fine with this email account, and mostly still does - I can still receive and send emails with it - only the settings page is now broken apparently since the recent update.
This is happening on Ubuntu 12.04LTS and Thunderbird 31.0.

Somebody tried to access my account on iPad
Google alerted me that somebody from Columbia tried to access my account. I followed instructions on tighter security. Same day I received email that was also sent to all my contacts on iPhone. And then last night while playing Phase Friends somebody started a game that I don't invite. I have setting set for no random players. This is scary. Is somebody hacking my ipad?
Did you change the password in your gmail account I assume and now that's iPad will not accept it in the mail app? If that is what you did - try this. I'm not sure if this will work the same in way in gmail as it does in other accounts.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
Make sure that your username and password are correct in the account settings as well. Settings>Mail, contacts and calendars>gmail>Account>tap the blue arrow next to your email address and check the settings in the next window. -
I have an existing account with itunes and am trying to access my account but i am getting error messege 5002.How do i solve this issue had no problems yeterday opening my account,please help.
The iPhoto library is also installed on the cloud drive and I am trying to import the pictures via a wireless networked MacBook Pro me865b/a running the latest version of osx.
There's your problem. Simply, as you are discovering, iPhoto cannot have the Library on a network and the Library must be on a drive formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
So, on your local HD or on an external HD attached directly to your Mac by USB, Firewrire, Thunderbolt, and
formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). -

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).
I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

The last 3 or 4 times I have tried to access my account, it has told me it has been deactivated and I have to reset each time, or give credit card info again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?
You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552 -
I keep on getting emails asking me to reset my password when I haven't requested a password change. I somebody trying to access my account as i've received this msg like 4 times in last few days now?
ThanksIf you use Mail.app, hover your cursor over any of the links in the emails you're receiving to see if they lead directly to an Apple-owned subdomain, like so...
If the links in the email(s) you received are exactly like this, then it's possible there's an issue with your account that you should probably follow up on. If they don't look like exactly like this, then these are phishes, and you can post screenshots of those links here so that someone from Apple can follow up on them. (Best not to click on these!) -

Trying to access Flash Player Settings Manager always asks to install but I already have it installe
I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager. I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have. I download it successfully. Windows 7 control panel has Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit. When I link again, I get the same message to download flash player as if I never did it before. What am I missing? There is also Flash Player (32-bit) icon that invokes Flash Player settings manager.Is this the best I can do to get the website storage settings? My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.

I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Just at what site are you getting this message to download instead of the settings panel?
My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.
If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files. If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager. Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer. However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting. -

SophieI don't know why you can't access it, but if you were a MobileMe subscriber with the free extra storage this has now been removed and your account will have reverted to 5GB.

Thunderbird times out when trying to access my account, but no trouble with firefox.
connection to server j.maude@ntlworld timed out.
firefox access sees these accounts with no problems. WHY!!I could wax lyrical for ages on possible whys!. Lets just say that the only similarities between the two processes is your see your mail in both.
However Assuming you have just updated Thunderbird there is about a 99% chance the issue will be the firewall in your anti virus program or some other component of it. They react very badly to version number changes and manual intervention is often required to allow a program that has worked for years.
The second most common cause of mail woes is the mail scanner drops the ball and mail just does not get through the anti virus. Turning off mail scanning is the easiest way to check that one.
Coming a distant Third is your mail provider has changed the settings to connect to their mail servers ( this usually is accompanied with an error, often complaining incorrectly about the user name and password) -
I tried to access my account to sync and it says it does not exists!
Well, actually, the title already said everything. I have tons of important bookmarks in my account and I can't access it, it says "Unknown account.". I know my password and the recovery key, also. I ever was able to do it, but, now, I can't! Also, if possible, after recovering it, I want to change the e-mail address... PLEASE, SAVE ME!
''(personal information removed by moderator. please see [[Forum rules and guidelines]] -m)''I think I got it: I just installed an old version of Firefox and sync it like the old times. Now I'm gonna sync it in the new way. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Thank you, the-edmeister, for trying to help.

I cannot establish a connection when attempting to add a data account with ATT. I received the following message: "Connection Failed - The connection to the server was lost. Please try again later."
I've been trying all day! Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Go to System Preferences > Sharing > Options...
Unshare your home folder and then you can connect. Apparently Lion shares your home folder by default.
