Why doesn't my new Thunderbird account see my migrated email files and account info?

Said bye to Win XP and did clean install of Win 7. Have tried 3 dif methods described at
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_restoring-to-a-different-location (Restoring
a profile backup, Restoring to a different location, Moving a profile) to transfer my email
files/settings/accounts, but nothing shows up except the account configured at install of
Thunderbird. I have closed Tbird and rebooted PC, but none of my backup files show.
Somewhere I read:
Find the "Mozilla" (for Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey 1.x), "SeaMonkey" (for SeaMonkey 2),
"Firefox", or "Thunderbird" folder in the profile folder path that contains the registry.dat
file or profiles.ini file and the "Profiles" folder (Windows and Mac)...
My understanding was that all I needed to back up was the profile folder and all below it and transfer it to my new Thunderbird Win 7 location. I have no registry.dat file or profiles.ini file.

Umm, that looks OK. I was wondering if it had inserted an extra layer of folders; when moving from XP to W7 myself, I found it had separated the profile data into a new subfolder, Profiles, but you already have that and it's correctly declared in the profiles.ini file.
I'm puzzled. Just to check, the folder named pf8j2npn.default should contain, amongst other things, folders named Mail and ImapMail, and files such as prefs.js, abook.mab and history.mab
Could you post your settings here please?
In Thunderbird, '''Help|Troubleshooting Information'''.
Clear the "include account names" checkbox. Click the "copy text to clipboard" button, use paste (ctrl+v) to paste into your next reply here. Feel free to chop out anything you consider too personal (but please leave server names), and we don't need all the stuff about fonts and printers. But I'm not expecting it to list very many accounts. :-(

    why doesn't my new Samsung s5 ring?

        @phoenixman
    It's important to be able to hear when someone's calling you!  I would love to assist in resolving this issue with your device.
    When did this problem begin?  Has the ringer on your device worked in the past?  Have you tried adjusting the ringer volume?  I'd also like to suggest soft resetting your device http://vz.to/1wDTX1Y.  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

  • HT1657 I had rented a movie on my IPhone5 and after downloading almost all of it, I get an error that there is no enough space. Why doesn't the store check to see if I have enough free space before proceeeding with the order?

    After downloading almost all of it, I get an error that there is no enough space. Why doesn't the store check to see if I have enough free space before proceeeding with the order?
    How do I get a refund?

    Well, with apps genneraly you do get told ahead of time. I'm not sure of the current algorithm with movies though.
    Why not just clear up some space? You can check your usage in your settings btw.

  • When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?!

    When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?! and then I'd like to erase the original files since the space requirement is huge!!!! Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!

    hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 

  • Can I migrate my files and all my notes over to a new PC?

    I have 150 files that I read into Adobe Digital Editions, and I made notes in many of them. I need to preserve my notes. Almost all the files were free downloads (except 2), so I'm not worried about problems associated with Digital Rights Management. If I preserve the directory structure on my new PC (in order to keep the migration as simple as possible), what procedure can I follow to migrate my files and notes over to a new PC?  I trust someone at Adobe has thought about this issue.  Thank you

    I'm not sure this will work, but I think that if you install ADE, and then copy the directory
    C:\Users\<youruser>\Documents\My Digital Editions  from the old computer to the new, you will see all your annotations etc.
    The annotations themselves are in C:\Users\<youruser>\Documents\My Digital Editions\Annotations
    Don't lose anything from the old computer until you are sure it is all working on the new.
    Also, the old one may well be on an older version of ADE (eg 1.7.2), and the new will naturally install ADE2.0.
    I'm not sure if they have changed the format of annotations at all between the two;
    one reader recently reported the loss of many books when updating to V2.0. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1140605?tstart=0
    There are lots of bugs in V2.0, so if you are not yet on it you may do best to keep with the old version.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    You can also run the old version by copying the ?:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions directory; no need for an install.
    The only thing you seem to miss from a 'proper' install that way is association of .acsm and .epub files with ADE; which you will have to to manually.

  • Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

    Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another??  I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker.  I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too.  I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated!
    Anne

    You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
    Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
    Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
    Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut).  I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
    Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
    Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
    To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
    Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.
