What is "lightning"?
Started using a new laptop recently. Forced migration from Windows XP to 8. I note several major changes in the version of TBird now than I had on my old system. One newbie is "Lightning". What is it? Do I need it?
This tells you about it and has the download link.

When will Lightning be compatible for firefox 29.0 on linux/ubuntu 14.04?
Tried to install Lighning on Firefox 29.0 and it would NOT due to incompatibility. When will lightning be updated to be compatible with v29.0 of Firefox?
In that link I posted it says '''Works with SeaMonkey and Thunderbird'''. If it worked with Firefox also (which no version has) then it would be mentioned also.
Are you actually trying to install it in Firefox on purpose when it will never work or are you trying to get this installed in Thunderbird?
For Thunderbird you need to right-click and save this extension to disk and then install it in Thunderbird.
These are what the Lightning extension works with

The Lightning calendar works with the email in Thunderbird and email client in the SeaMonkey suite. Firefox however is only a web browser. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar/ -
Questions about the iPhone 5 Lightning Cable?
Ok, so the new iPhone comes with a "Lightning" USB connecter thing. So, why do they sell Lightning to 30 pin adapter? What does this do? Can lightning charge on the newest MacBook Air with USB 3.0? Any idea how long it will take to charge through this? So, if it comes with Lightning to USB, that should charge the iPhone 5 with the USB power adapter it comes with right? I know this is a lot, but what I'm mainly confused with is what the Lightning to 30 pin does, and if the iPhone 5 will charge with the accessories that come with the iPhone when you buy it. Thanks!
The lightning to 30 pin adapter allows you to still use all the old sound docks, third party charges and so on with your new iphone 5.
I am happy that apple came out with the adapter. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. $29 for the adapter is a bit much. Especially since it does not support video out. -

Yesterday my wife's phone got a message that the device had over heated and please wait while it cools down. Not sure what the exact message is, but asked her to screen shot it if it happens again. Anyone else seeing this? I have searched other blogs and have seen a mention of it. I also asked her to inspect the battery to see if it got swollen or deformed.
Well no 2 phones are alike & many things can factor in from the CPU in the phone and how it handles the Load of items that are currently running on em, To how the Display's put out the lite through the phones panel.. I could on and on but differences in the phone's Architecture's can possibly mean a difference in how you have to use them..
For myself for instance I Race.. Real Racing 3 and I Play Madden25 on my htc One m8 I have to watch how hot the phone get and it can pretty Warm and can Drain the battery in about 2 to 3 hours if Race hard.. On my Droid Maxx it is completely different I go Longer in my Racing the phone doesn't get as Warm or sometime Hot and the Battery in it can Last up to 8 to10 Hours and I will admit even though my One m8 cost more has a more Fancier or shall I say pristine Display I Like racing on my Droid Maxx because the Display on it to me is more Crisper.. More radiant it's my pick when I play my Games..
Hope this Helps..

Hello, I was looking to buy a HDMI cable so I can connect my MacBook pro to my HDTV so I can use my wacom tablet with my TV. Well I quickly noticed that there was no HDMI port. So I looked it up and saw that I should buy a DVI to HDMI cable. Well it didn't look like I had a DVI port either. I looked it up again and it looks like possibly a Mini DisplayPort. I am not positive on this though because the symbol next to it is different than mine. The one next to the Mini DisplayPort in all of the pictures looks like a square with lines on each side, while mine looks like a lightning bolt with an arrow at the end. So I got on apple support to see what the lightning bolt with an arrow port was called, or if it was the same thing and the symbol has just changed. I entered my serial number to make sure I pulled up the right manual. It told me I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), so I pulled up the user manual ( http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Pro_Retina_QuickStart.pdf ) and zoomed in on the ports. This looks nothing like my computer. I bought it in august so it shouldn't be old. But these pictures show a HDMI port. On my MacBook Pro I have ports on the left, and a CD slot on the right. So I thought maybe it was the wrong manual so I went to my desktop to apple > about this mac > more info > support > user manual. This brought me to the same manual. What happened to the HDMI port? What is the port with the lightning bolt arrow? What kind of cable do I need to connect it to my HDTV? I'm just so confused now. Thanks a bunch for your help!
Only Retina Display MacBook Pros have HDMI Ports. The reason the MacBook Pro in the manual looked different is because it was a Retina Display MacBook Pro and you have the Mid 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-Retina). The port with the lightning bolt next to it is the Thunderbolt Port. I actually just bought a Thunderbolt to HDMI cord to connect my Mid 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro to my HDTV and it works perfectly! You have the non-retina MacBook Pro like me so you need this cord: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Thunderbolt-Mini-Display-Port-to-HDMI-Cable-for-MacBoo k-Pro-13-inch-MC374LL-A-/310432403148?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item48473 68ecc

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 alongside W7. Since I'm not comfortable dropping Windows completely yet, I want my W7 Thunderbird and my Ubuntu TB to have access to the same data file holding current messages, so I don't have to get out of one to use TB on the other. I rely on Lightning and also want my reminders to be consistent from either OS. I have a separate NTFS data partition which, I understand, can be used to house the profile directory (though I've not seen that as a solution for Lightning).
In trying to set it up, I've run into questions that I can't find a good answer for -- want sources that address the problem and are recent. I'm pretty patient, and I can stumble through a lot of things (like learningn about partitions). But I'm not a programmer, and this start-stop-sort-through-dozens-of-old-incomplete-and-irrelevant-answers process is frustrating. (Nor do I lift the hood and tune my own car engine.) I also recognize that some things I want to do aren't necessarily common, so they're not at the top of anyone's "tell the world how to do this" list.
1. My profiles directory has 6 *.default files. I assume the current one is the most recent. Do I need the older ones? How did I get them, since I've never knowingly created a new one? I'm the only user of my machine and thus the only user for TB.
2. I saw the following before setting up the dual boot system, so it's likely not related -- but if someone who knows TB well can comment I'll appreciate it: when I view All folders, I see 58(!) folders with names nstmp-##. The contents overlap with normally-named folders, but the sets of messages are not identical. Do these indicate a problem and/or should I change something? Does this have to do with compacting or archiving, neither of which I do? Never saw the need, and never saw an article saying that they're important. I just want to use mail and reminders. And BTW I've been using TB/Lightning for years and am Very happy with them, so I want to keep using them.
3. Is there a way to set up Lightning to hit the same data file(s) on my data partition? Or somewhere? Where are Lightning's files? I remember one source mentioned linking to "storage.sdb", but (1) I can't find the reference again, and (2) links to some of my files don't always work. Broken links aren't Mozilla's problem, but someone might know how to geet around the problem for the sake of Lightning. Also, storage.sdb and calendar* directories exist inside my *.default profile directory -- so why would I need to link anything? Are these not where calendar data is stored? If not, where?
I'd rather understand the reasons behind recommended procedures ("do A because Y is how Lightning/TB works" -- vs "do A, then B, then C...and it will/should(!) work."). But if you can point me to a clear procedure that will get me where I want to go, that will be enough.
Last, the following two URLs looked like they would help but don't -- so you don't need to point me to them again:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sharing_a_profile_between_Windows_and_Linux -- this is only 2 years old but:
(1) it only says that "settings" specify file locations, without saying which settings. Stumbling around, I found "Local directories" under Server Settings. For more detail the page refers to an article that's 10 years old. Neither source says which subdirectory under *.default should be the target. The older one references ".../mail", but when I enter that value in Local Directories under Ubuntu, nothing shows up. When I went down one more level to "/Local Folders", the folders appear and the new-message counts seem(!) ok. But I also got a couple "folder missing...will adjust filters" messages. I never got those under Windows. So am I good to go, or am I missing messages?
(2) The above page only says that Lightning is a "potential problem", with no suggestion of a solution or link to a discussion. Searching results in many hits, but I haven't found anything helpful.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624973 -- this looked promising, but the comments are dated 2009-2010, deal with ubuntu 10 and XP, and don't seem to address my problem -- unless I'm not savvy enough to recognize it, which is entirely possible.
Thanks for any insights.Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
(You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-) -
Upgraded to Firefox 8 and now I've lost my Lightning calender that I used in Thunderbird because it's not compatible with 8. What can I use now and where is my old calender information?
Hi Brian,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps! -
I got the new iPhone 5 last week and have been happy with it. I went to the apple store on-line a few days later to order some adapters for the power cord, so that I could use it with my alarm clock and dock at work - although they are back ordered until nov. yesterday I lost my lightning power cord and there are NONE available in my city and the apple store is till out of stock for at least a couple of weeks. My phone now has 10% battery and losing last - what can I do to power my phone???? I use it for work, I need to have it working and available butndont seem to have any options. Please let me know if there is another device I can use to power my phone!!
Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?
Actually have three questions.
1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
Thanks.http://store.apple.com/us/ipad/ipad-accessories/cables-docks#!

Could someone please tell me the correct lead I need for an Applie Ipod 7th Generation 16GB for a Sony docking station. I bought a Lightning to 30 pin adaptor that fits the dock but not the ipod (this was recommended to me by someone from the Apple shop believe it or not). I need one that will fit the ipod and then slot into the 30 pin dock. The dock pulls out and my old ipod (5th Generation) just slotted straight in, but this slot obviously doesn't fit. It would really help if someone can recommend what I need to use or even if there is one that just slots in or whether I need some sort of cable and can't use the docking station. I've had a lock at the Apple store but just keep getting confused about what does what and can't seem to see anything unless I need an additional cable to slot into the 30 pin adapter I already have?
HELP - CONFUSED.COM!If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be. -
Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
Use Case 1:
When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
Use Case 2:
A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)? -
I want to know what for is the "Sync" button in Lightning and if there is a way to sync my LOCAL Lightning calendars between two computers. Thanks
sync is about synchronizing network calendars. Simply create a network calendar and synchronize it on multiple machines and forget local calendars.

What lightning cable can be used with iPhone 4?
What lightning cable should be used for the iPhone 4? All the cables I have looked at do not say for iPhone 4, but for iPhone 5, etc.
Well that's really interesting, since my iPhone 4 has a lightning connector on the bottom & the charging cable sent with it is USB on one end & lightning connector on the other. BTW, I tried a USB to lightning cable my brother has been using with his iPhone 5 & it charged my iPhone 4 just fine.
Thanks for replying, though.
