Upgrading to Windows 8 - how do I save e-mails and e-mail address books?

Converting from Windows XP to Windows 8 wipes out all files and programs. How do I save my e-mails and e-mail address books that are running on Thunderbird?

You need to save and then reinstate your Thunderbird profile.

I should point out that Firefox has a similar arrangement, with its own profile, so you can preserve your Firefox settings too.

    new firefox is great. I usually have many windows open. in your earlier version, when ever I used to close it, it would ask for save and shut down as one of the three option,but in this new version it close all my window, how do i save my window tab?

    See [[Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit]].
    Does this work for you?

  • In Windows how can I save a video just played by Flash Player?

    In Windows how can I save a video just played by Flash Player?

    This is what I ended up doing.  I put the FLVPlayback inside a movieclip and put this on the first frame:
    stop();
    var vidTime:Number=0;
    on the frame that the video plays on I have the video and a close button (which is a movieclip) and I put the following script:
    if(vidTime>0)
        htMeasVid.seek(vidTime);
    close_btn.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, seekCount);
    close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, closeBtnUp);
    function seekCount(e:Event):void
         vidTime=htMeasVid.playheadTime;
    function closeBtnUp(e:MouseEvent):void
        e.currentTarget.parent.play();
    on the following frame I have this code:
    close_btn.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, seekCount);
    htMeasVid.stop();
    and then on the last frame I have this:
    gotoAndStop(2);
    so that it doesn't reset the vidTime variable to 0.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Wife and I share itunes account.  How do we save her info and start her own account?

    When we first got our iphones, we were told at apple store we could use the same itunes account.  We still do.  Now with 2 iphones, 2 laptops, ipads, etc.  it is a mess with facetime and sharing apps.
    How do I save her information and start a new account for her?
    Thanks

    Your best bet would be to set up a separate Apple ID for her to use with iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime, but continue to use the same iTunes account for purchases (click on the second box "Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases" to go directly to the section which outlines how to do this). The reason you would want to continue to use the current ID for iTunes is because all of the purchases made under that ID will be forever tied to that ID - purchases cannot be transferred to another ID:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

  • How can I save my data and the date,the time into the same file when I run this VI at different times?

    I use a translation stage for the experiment.For each user in the lab the stage position (to start an experiment) is different.I defined one end of the stage as zero. I want to save the position , date and time of the stage with respect to zero.I want all these in one file, nd everytime I run it it should save to the same file, like this:
    2/12/03 16:04 13567
    2/13/03 10:15 35678
    So I will track the position from day to day.If naybody helps, I appreciate it.Thanks.

    Hi,
    I know the function "write to spreadsheet file.vi"
    can append the data
    to file. You can use the "concatenate strings" to display the date,
    time as well as data... Hope this help.

  • How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

    how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
    It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
    It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
    I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
    Thanks
    MG

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • I need to fdisk my laptop, how do I save my iTunes and reinstall it once I set my laptop up again? Might be a silly question with a simple answer..! I hope so :)

    I have no idea how to do this, I'd welcome some support/information on how I can save my iTunes and set it back up again once my laptop has been fdisk'd..
    I don't really understand iCloud. That might be the answer!
    If you can help, please explain in layman's terms.
    Thank you in advance!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, type "back up itunes library" into the google search bar.

    It could be that I'm older and have forgotten. I'm now 73 and will admit I have forgotten many things over the years. I have been using Photoshop since Photoshop version 3.  And can not really recall which features or changes were made in ever version of Photoshop I have installed.  Adobe has added many features over the years. The number of bugs introduce has also greatly increased after CS3.  "New Doc Sizes.psp"  in your user id preferences is edited using the two buttons in the new document dialog.
    As for guide lines in new documents Photoshop CS6 or CC seem to add some for video file presets with guide lines.  I do not know how to edit or add guide line to new doc presets. Guide line actions are easy to create. I have also seem some guideline in new documents when I did not expect any perhaps a new bug. Photoshop like most software has bugs. If you do not see Adobe new presets perhaps you copied an old  "New Doc Sizes.psp"  over Adobe's newer default file or Adobe migrared you presets and wand wiped their presets out. There are bugs. Close Photoshop down and rename your current  "New Doc Sizes.psp"  in you user id Photoshop cc preferences folder and start Photoshop it will add a dedault  "New Doc Sizes.psp"  file see if you see Adobe new presets in the new doc pull down when you select video and film...

    Hello,
    I want to know how to do SAVE AS DRAFT using Java
    mail Api.
    thanksI don't think you can. That sounds like a feature of a mail client app itself. The Java mail API is for when you're ready to actually send the thing. Saving drafts is storing them somewhere like you would any other data; nothing to do with the mail API.
