You really need to come up with a fix since it's your update that is causing thunderbird to not download email! This is ridiculous!

Like the rest of you......ever since the downloaded update, my email won't download my email from mail client. Has anyone solved this problem yet? I know some have said it's gone away on it's own, but so far not my case. I'm getting very frustrated, I thought I had found the perfect email that was close to MS Outlook and it was until this update. I really feel Thunderbird bears some responsibility for this, I know this is a free email program, but giving something for free then making it unusable isn't really very helpful. Anyone with a solution, please let me know. I depend on my email.......I'm Vendor chair for a Scottish Festival and can't deal with my vendors if I can't get my email.

Hmmm, have you tried turning off your email scanning in your anti virus program?
The number one cause of mail failure following update in anti virus software either just not coping with the new version or actively blocking it as it does not recognize the version number. People report it "goes away" as the anti virus gets an update from home marking the new version ok.
The second most common reason is that it has nothing to do with the update at all, but the mail provider has changed the connection settings required and the customer has ignored the mail they have sent or simply did not understand them.
The third reason is Thunderbird has a bug. It is rare, but does happen.
If multiple account on multiple domains(Yahoo LIVE Google etc) stop working it is almost always security software.
If a single account out of a number stops working or all accounts for a domain / Provider stop then it is a settings change.
So the first line is to disable email scanning in the anti virus and check it's firewall that Thunderbird (all versions) is allowed full access to the internet.
I would love to be able to organize fixes to this shoddy anti virus software, but there is nothing to be done. People keep paying for it and trusting it. It keep tripping them up.

  • Do you really need the shoes to make this product work?

    I just saw some information on the TV about this. My question; if anyone can help with it, is do you REALLY need the shoes to make this work. I mean all it is is a little disk and a wireless plug-in for the Nano. It would really help me out if someone can tell me.

    You do not need the shoes to make it work. Check out this thread for ways people have gotten the sensor to work with non-nike+ shoes: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=559827&tstart=75

  • I really need iCloud to work with 10.6

    I guess i am yet another Apple user for over 20 years being loyal to the products and purchased quite a lot of them including several rounds of Laptops and every iPhone out there. Now i was also using my .mac account with later turned into mobileme...
    ...and now turned into iCould.
    I don't mind change though, but i really need my data to be snyced on all my machines including my MacBookPro which runs on 10.6.8. This is my main machine, and a lot of software runs on it every day which cannot run on Lion, plus that this machine would face sercious performance issues with Lion, my printer would not work anymore because there are no drivers for a KonikaMinolta 2340 DL, so there are a lot of issues that require this MacBookPro to stay with Snow Leopard, aonther OS that i purchased. I also purchased a  MacBook Air 11' with Lion, another investment, and all works together smoothly, why now taking away the syncing with Snow Leopard?
    So please Apple, don't make me throw away half of my office and face serious new investments that i cannot effort as of yet to get this to work.
    When will iCloud be available for 10.6?
    You have told us how easy it is to switch rom PC to Mac since it all runs without any problems and driver hazzle.
    Is this still the case?
    I'd say then you ought to stick with that promise to ensure that not only new users will be to get onboard, but the loyal once to stay with it too.
    Please let me knonw when you have a solution!
    Thanks

    This is a user-to-user forum: you're not addressing Apple here.
    You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    There is no suggestion whatever that Apple will update Snow Leopard to allow any more access to iCloud than that.

  • Do You really Need a Screen Protector?

    I'd just like to know if you really need this, the GS has a different coating on their screen than the previous models. Do these protectors really work, do you need them on your GS for insurance?

    A screen protector on the new 3GS would defeat the purpose of the oleophobic coating. I have tried protectors on my Palms but I prefer bare back with the iPhone. Screen protectors are a pain to apply without leaving wrinkles and bubbles and you can never replicate the smooth feel of the glass. You will also lose a little bit of screen brightness as they will never be 100% transmitting. I carry the iPhone in my pocket with the screen facing my pants leg and my wallet on top without an unsightly bulge. I don't put keys or lose change in that pocket. I agree that if you are throwing the iphone into a bag, purse, or backpack with lots of sharp objects (like your eating utensils or Bowie knife set), a slip cover might be a good idea. I bought one but it was so tight and hard to remove that I don't use it. Maybe others can suggest a good case that preserves the slimness of the iPhone.

  • Do you really need an IDE?

    Do you really need to have an IDE for Java? Does it make things easier for a newbie?
    Thanks

    I hear what you're saying... I don't think BlueJ should be used to write HelloWorld, but after compiling something basic on the command line I think it can be a decent introduction to Java.
    I started programming a year ago and after a month or so of working in Notepad++ and the command line I used BlueJ until I felt I had outgrown it. It isn't anything spectacular, as you know, and is sort of buggy, but I still think it can aid in the learning of Java for someone new to the language.
    In particular I think BlueJ does a nice job of emphasizing the idea of objects -- having a visual representation of your classes as little UML-like diagrams that you can interactively play with is kind of cool. Being able to right-click to create Objects and see how they interact with each other is, in retrospect, I think, probably not a bad way to learn.

    Do you really need to install the 4-in-1 drivers if you are using windows 2000pro? What I notice is that windows 2000 pro install all the drivers but the agp drivers. Ihave the K7T TURBO 2 MOTHERBOARD.

    Do you have the abilty to backup or image your OS? If so bench mark your system using Sandra, PCMark and 3DMark, install the latest VIA Hyperion drivers and bench mark again.  I am confident that you will see an improvement.  The VIA drivers are written specifically for the chipset, like using Detonator drivers on NVidia cards.  If not rebuild you image from your back up.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

    thank you thank you for taking an interest. this is so frustrating.
    i only have apple keyboard, mighty mouse, and 20 inch cinema display connected. this morning took out memory and tried to boot up with individual pairs in the first bank. first the (2)256, the (2) 1g, and then the other (2) 1g modules. everytime I get the weird fuzzy wheel under the logo after a while, black screen flashes, then grey apple logo fuzzy screen then black forever.
    I ran tiger updates this morn. still will only boot to safe mode. then tried to run leopard disk to install it
    will not boot from leopard disk.
    tried safe boot, then doulble click install leopard, restart, then the saga repeats with the pixely red square around the wheel.
    these are fresh drives with only what came on instll disk loaded.
    thanks again for taking an interest.
    i love this system(well at least i did). I want to install leopard on my powerbook too but am terrified to do so right now since it is working and I have work to do. Can't afford to have no computer to do my work on...self employment is great?!
    This is making me crazy. I anxiously await your words of wisdom.
