Windows 7, had to change user profile, lost all my Thunderbird info. please help.

Worm or virus caused me to have to change my user profile in Windows 7. I have everything back looking more or less like it did before this disaster on my computer and I am once again able to get into Internet Explorer but when I go to my Thunderbird email, it is as if I have never used it before and it wants me to set it all back up again. All contacts are gone and all my old emails etc. How can I proceed to try to fix this problem?

I just hope you know what you're doing. How those registry manipulations would eliminate a virus infection is a miracle to me. Having said that, viruses are rare today, being infected with some sort of malware is much more likely.
In any case, this is what we have so far:
The old Windows account is underneath 'C:\users\john'.
The new Windows account is underneath 'C:\users\john.john-pc'.
There is an 'appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder in both Windows accounts.
Please confirm.
Also, in the 'john' Windows account there is a Thunderbird profile 'C:\users\john\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\wmekpsyz.default'.
It has a date of /1/29/2015. This would indicate it's a rather new profile. Can you confirm this is your old Thunderbird profile? If so, it should contain all your mail.
What Thunderbird profile do you see underneath 'C:\users\john.john-pc\appdata\roaming\thunderbird?
Can you post the contents of the file profiles.ini for both Windows accounts?

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • Lost all my develop settings please help

    I processed over 500 CR2 files in Lightroom 4. I then cut and pasted the entire folder that these files were in from my E drive to my C drive. I then imported them back into Lightroom 4 from their new location. However, every file is now back in its orfginal state and seems to have lost all of the develop settings that I spent days doing. Is there a way to get all this development work retireved or am I going to be phoning the Samaritans?
    Thanks to anybody who can help

    In general, you can't move photos from one place to another by cutting and pasting and import them back into Lightroom to recognize them. Lightroom now thinks these are new photos that it has never seen before, with no edits.
    To fix this problem, you need to find your original catalog file which has registered the photos on the E: drive, and open that catalog. Try opening all the catalogs under File->Open Recent. If you can find this catalog, it has your edits. You can then fix the problem my moving the photos exactly to where they were before on the E drive (Exactly!), or re-link to the photos via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
    Furthermore, why would you even want to do such a cut and paste to a different drive anyway, Lightroom or not? What is wrong with just leaving them on the E drive?
    You might to do some more learning about how Lightroom works to avoid this problem and similar ones in the future. A good place to start is http://tv.adobe.com/show/getting-started-with-adobe-photoshop-lightroom-4/ You might want to think about a workflow that doesn't involve moving photos from here to there, and a workflow that achieves organization not by folders but by keywords and other metadata.

  • I have lost all my Podcasts. Please help

    Hi there,
    I have had to recently format, but I wrote down the names of my subscribed Podcasts, and re=subscribed to them.
    But I am only able to download recent Podcasts, not all of them?
    Where can I find all the old ones?
    E.g., Happy Tree Friends was one of the Podcasts I was subscribed to, but now….There’s only 3 episodes there! There was about 20 before I formatted…
    Please can some one tell me were I can re-download all my old Podcasts!

    Most podcasts only have a limited number of them listed at the iTMS.
    Older episodes often (but not always) are available at the website of the creator.
    Click on the arrow of the podcast (next to the name).
    This brings you to the podcast at the iTMS.
    Next click on 'Website'
    This will bring you to the website of the creator.
    You might now be able to download the missing ones.
    After adding them to iTunes, they won't show up in the Podcast section however. A special flag is set when you download them via the iTMS subscribtion.
    Downloading them directly off the creators' website does not set this flag.
    I don't know of any tool for Windows to set this flag, but they might exist.
    Hope this helps.

  • I lost all my bookmarks! Please help!

    I was shocked that my bookmark is gone. I have tried to follow the instruction on your website. The instruction is way too much and the details are profound that wore me out. My very simple question, why my bookmark is gone. I do not fooling around with my browser. I assume that my browser was updated automatically for its new version that wiped out my bookmark. I hope that it has automatically backup somewhere on my hard disk. Like a FireFox bookmark file.

    If you use the Time Machine on your Mac then you can try to restore the places.sqlite file or possible JSON backups.

  • Address book suddenly lost all my addresses!  Please help.

    What can I do? Not even sure if it's on my 'back-up' ext hard drive...
    Did it really just disappear?

    If you backed it up onto your external drive it should still be there.
    It might be worth booting from your install disc, navigating to Disk Utility, and then repairing your boot drive.
    If no joy, you could also check into some of the software for rescuing data like Data Rescue II. I believe you can download a demo to see if it will work for you before purchasing it.
    Do you still have the original hard drive in your iBook? If so, it could be beginning to fail, as they generally have a useful life of 3-5 years. Check the S.M.A.R.T. status--if it says anything but "verified", your drive is dying. If it's old, it could still be dying, even if it doesn't show up in the S.M.A.R.T. status yet.
    Good luck!

  • Change user profile

    I need to change user profiles in Windows XP and would like to migrate all of my iTunes music, playlists, etc to the new Windows user account.
    I considered copying the user profile with Control Panel | System | Advanced | User Profiles Copy To function, but I'm not sure if this will work and don't want to break anything. Is this the way to do what I want or can someone point me to the correct proceedure to do this?
    Thanks, Roy

    I suggest consolidating everything to a folder that isn't tied to a user profile.
    In XP, everything is stored here by default:
    C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ and
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    Consolidate it to something simple, like C:\Media using these directions
    Directions are here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
    This will keep your important ratings, play counts, etc if youa lso copy over that important database file (the ITL file).
    Then any user on the PC can use it by pressing *and holding* the shift key while starting itunes.
