Two profile two thunderbird at the same time with same user account

Dear,
I would use two Thunderbird at the same time for two different profiles with the same user accounts.
I using linux OS.
I was thinking of using:
# thunderbird -P profile1 &
# thunderbird -P profile2 &
But when launching the second command nothing happens.
Only brings in the foreground thundirbird already started.
If possible use this configuration now or in the nex future?

As a rule thunderbird only runs one instance of a profile.
However, there are a couple of options you could try.
You could use an addon to esily switch profiles:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/profileswitcher/
there is more help here:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Run_multiple_copies_of_Thunderbird_at_the_same_time
It does say: 'Multiple instances is intended for debugging, so use it at your own risk'.
One method would be to use: Start > Run
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P profilename
there is a space before '-no'
and also before '-P'
followed by a space and the profile name
You could create a shortcut/icon to run each separate profile.

  • Share Photos on the same iMac with different user accounts... How do You???

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a way to share photos with another user (same computer, different log-in names) on the same iMac?
    There are two users on my iMac and I want to be able to share photos and other documents, music etc. with them, but can't seem to do it.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
    In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?

  • Share music on same mac with different user accounts

    I'll try to make this clear, i have an imac with a large itunes collection. my two kids have accounts on that same mac, and want to be able to listen to what i have in my itunes. i can't see putting three copies of the same music on the same computer. is there a way to let them play what i have in my itunes account while they are logged in to their own account on the same computer?
    imac (5 years old)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   macbook, G4 I book, I book, Imac
    macbook w/ superdrive, G4 with combo drive, I-book w/o cd burner   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   macbook, G4 I book, I book, Imac

    Jase, you said "Music sharing works across different user accounts, whether they are on the same computer or different computers", but my son will log into his account where he currently has no music. in the window on the left, we can see the other computers in the house that are on line, but there is no sign of the master account (on that same imac). i assume this is because the master account is not logged in, therefore the secondary accounts can't find the master account's music, nor can I from a remote computer ( my macbook, for example). for instance, right now from my macbook i can see my son's itunes list (on the imac) in my "share window" (even though his list is empty). he can also see my macbooks list in his "share window". he cannot see either my list on that imac, or his sisters list on that same imac. all acounts on the imac have sharing turned on, as well as "look for shared music" turned on.
    i guess the focus is on this: can the master user itunes list be made available to other users on that same computer while they are logged in as other users (and the master account is logged off, which it has to be in order for the secondary accounts to be logged in, right?) I can't think of any other way to ask this, so i hope that clarified what we have tried and what we are asking for.

  • HOW TO SHARE MY ITUNES LIBRARY WITH MY WIFE ON SAME IMAC WITH DIFFERENT USER ACCOUNTS AND APPLE ID'S. PLEASE HELP, SOMEBODY!

    I just created an Apple Id for my wife and a user account for her.  We are on the same computer (iMac). I cant for the love of God get my itunes library to show on her user account on computer.  My library shows up under shared library when i select it it just keeps loading and nothing.  When i try the hold down option while opening itunes on her user account and then choose library my library doesnt show up as option.  What in the world am i doing wrong, why is Apple making this so difficult. We are not going to buy separte computers just to share itunes content. Please help.

    You can sync devices with the same iCloud ID, not seperate ones.
    If she has a different login on your Mac, make sure she has her own ID defined in System Prefs > iCloud

  • Apple TV - can I pair my macbook and my wife's macbook at the same time with different itunes accounts?

    Just bought the Apple TV2 yesteday.
    I'd like to pair both my macbook and my wifes macbook to the Apple TV.  We both have seperate iTunes accounts.
    Is this possible without having to sign on or the other out of apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can do that. The key to this is remembering your homesharing ID and your iTunes account ID are not the same thing (although you can use your account details for your homesharing details)
    Set up homesharing in both instances of iTunes using the same information in each, your Apple TV will then see both libraries.

  • When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
    Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

  • In regard to Time Machine. I have two accounts one is an admin account, the other is a standard user account. When I implement Time Machine when I am logged into the Admin account, is the standard user also backed up?

    in regard to Time Machine.
    I have two accounts on one Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. One account is an admin account, the other is a standard user account.
    When I initially implemented Time Machine I was logged into the Admin account. I allowed Time Machine to erase the drive and backup the computer. Is the standard user account contents also backed up?
    Also after I completed the Time Machine backup session, I turned off Time Machine and removed the portable hard drive. I plan to return in to Time Machine after being away from the portable hard drive for approximately a month. After a short interruption of approximately one month, when the Macbook Pro is reconnected and Time Machine is turned back on, will Time Machine create a new instance of a backup? WIll the back up contain the standard user account changes?

    Time Machine backs up by default all the user accounts.
    When you reconnect the backup drive after one month, Time Machine will do an incremental backup and it might take a while minutes to hours depending on how much has been changed. With a gap of a month, Time Machine will have to do a lengthier than normal survey of both drives to see what has changed, so it might take some time preparing for the backup. The backup will include everything that has changed since the previous one.

  • 16 channels of audio recording at the same time with a MAC BOOK?

    Hi,
    I want to know how many channels of audio I can record at the same-time with a MAC BOOK (2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB memory 120GB hard drive, Double-layer SuperDrive), firewire audio device and Logic Pro 8?
    You see I am aiming to record a live gig and I want to come into a firewire recording interface with 16 channels of audio all at the same time (24-bit, 44Khz) Does anyone know if this is possible? Or am I looking for trouble? No plug-ins will be used just record straight in. Anyone have some experience with this?
    Thanks.

    Ok, like this:
    Macbook - FW Port - FW Cable -In- MOTU Traveler -Out- External Harddrive.
    Firewire is capable of chaining units.
    Also plugged into your motu traveler will be an optical cable coming from the ADA.
    This will carry the 8 channels of audio it outputs.
    Also another good thing to do is to also have an optical cable FROM the optical output of your Traveler into the Behringer's input.
    That way you can sync the Behringer's digital clock to that of the Traveler, giving you a slightly better sounding signal that if you were to sync the traveler to the Behringer. This is simply because the traveler has a better quality digital clock than the Behringer unit so it's best to use that. To do this you just select "Adat input" on the back of the Behringer, and leave the Travelers sync to "Internal Clock". It is only a very very slight difference and you may not be able to notice the difference but for the cost of an optical cable it's worth doing.
    It will all make a lot more sense when you have the two units and the harddrive all plugged in.

  • Acquire Analog and Digital inputs at the same time with 6025E card

    I have 6025E DAQ card, all the analog channels are used
    up. There are several digital signals, such as flowmeter. Can I acquire both kinds of data at the same time with my 6025E card? Thanks for your help.

    I suggest you search the examples that ship with LV
    Digital
    Find Examples>>>Hardware Input and Output>>>Digital Input and Output>>>8255
    for doing each type of I/O seperately.
    When you have found two examples. Just try to run the two at the rate use need in your final app.
    Post follow-ups Q's here. I am not personally familiar with that deveice so I can not speak from experience.
    I would generally expect that if you sample rate is low (i.e. <10Hz) you maybe happy with the results. If you want to run faster or have the PC do something else at the same time, the timing of the signals form the DIO lines may be suspect.
    So...
    It depends.

  • Can you use 2 bluetooth headphones at the same time with ipad?

    I'd like to purchase 2 bluetooth headsets for my elderly parents to use with their ipad for FaceTime. They both typically use FaceTime at the same time to talk to their grandkids, but have difficulty hearing just using the ipad speaker. Is it possible to utilize 2 bluetooth headsets at the same time with ipad. If not, what's the best alternative? (Wired headsets will not work as they also are often caring for another young grandchild at the time and can't be tethered)

    You can only pair to one BT headset at a time.
    As an alternative, have you considered a BT speaker  so you can increase the volume of the Facetime call?

  • Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

    I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

    A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
    Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
    If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

  • Is it possible to get 2-ch signals from TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time with LabVIEW "7.0"?

    Hi, everyone.
    I've been trying to get the signals from 2-ch of Tektronix TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time using IVI connection with LabVIEW "7.0"
    I've already searched this developer zone for the answer.
    I've tried the famous example: "IviScope - Acq Dual Wfm Edge Triggered.vi"
    and it gave me the error message like:
    Error -1074110451 occurred at IviScope Initialize With Options.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA600D) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) The Config Server module is not present on the system.
    I think I've installed all~ the required softwares for IVI. For example, ICP 2.2, IVI engine 2.0.46, and tktds1k2k ivi (instrument driver for tds2012, in fact this one is for LabVIEW "7.1"... :-P)
    TDS2012 and my computer is connected through HPIB(GPIB) and it is shown on the MAX (a GPIB instrument as well as an IVI hardware asset)
    I've tried GPIB connection but it gives me asynchronous signals...
    Is it possible to get 2 signals at the same time with LabVIEW 7.0(not 7.1 or higher) by any means?
    What in the earth is the "Config Server" in this case?
    I don't need to sticking to IVI and any method to achieve my goal will be welcome.
    Could anyone give me the hint for this problem, plz?

    I think your problem is that the instrument specific driver is version 7.1 and you are using the class driver with 7.0. You can create your own 7.0 driver by downloading the LabWindows driver and using the Import CVI Instrument Driver under the Tools>Instrumentation menu.
    Since you don't seem to have a good reason to use IVI, why don't you try the native LabVIEW driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9139659CE034080020E748.... I believe you have all of the functions to setup each channel and then when you trigger the scope, both channels will be captured. You would then transfer each waveform separately. The data is always read sequentially but that's not important as long as both channels are triggered at the same time.
