• Thunderbird has lost all my accounts and settings

  I have been using T-bird for years with only the default profile. I have my personal Setup account separately 2 corporate accounts that are grouped in the local folders.

  Yesterday, when I rebooted and started the T-bird, it was as if I had never set up all the accounts. There is no folder or messages and all my accounts had disappeared.

  I checked the C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default and the files are still there. It is just that my default profile is not to use them, even if the correct folder is displayed when I go to help/troubleshooting and click on 'display the folder '.

  I suspect a main index file (prefs.js) is damaged or has been deleted, which should bind the T-bird to all other files in my profile. How to make T-bird to reconnect with my data files of this profile?

  Found my own answer, even though none of the research or the pages of support.mozilla.org were of no use either.

  Google found Disappearing mail - MozillaZine Knowledge Base led me to retrieve a profile that suddenly disappeared - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

  In this last article, I found this text

  • A quick way to say what problem you are suffering from is to look at your personal address book in Thunderbird. If it seems correct, proceed to the section corrupted or empty prefs.js . Otherwise, follow the instructions in the lost profile section.

  After going to the section corrupt prefs.js or empty , I found this is my answer:

  • Otherwise, you need to rebuild prefs.js. You can do this by creating the same accounts again in the existing profile and Thunderbird to use directories that contain always the missing mail, by this article that Recovering deleted accounts e-mail - MozillaZine Knowledge Base. Another option is to create a new profile using the Profile Manager, create the accounts again and then migrate your e-mail, address books, filters, and other related files of mail of the old profile by this article.

• I upgraded to el capitan today and I lost all my photos and videos

  When I updated today to el capitan, I lost all my videos and photos, I have improved on the hoof so to speak because I was helping a friend unlock their iPad disabled (as I did) but I shot myself in the foot in iPhoto on the left side, I had file on folder of ruby birthdays, Christmas, marriage of my daughter throughout her life so far and my grandson I'm gutted, I've been on the forums today but all I got are more recent who were on iCloud about 100 it is everything.

  El Capitan provides a new application called, Photos, which you can import them into your iPhoto library. iPhoto will not work in El Capitan, unless you are able to update the version you have now:

  Re: Iphoto's gone? I want to go back!

  Go to the App Store and check out the shopping list. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1 if she is there, then drag your existing iPhoto application (not the library, just the app) in the trash

  Install the application on the App Store.

  IPhoto is sometimes not visible on the shopping list. It may be hidden. See this article for more details on how to view it.

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT4928

  A question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

  iPhoto, the application and the iPhoto library are two different parts of the iPhoto program. So, reinstall the application should not affect the library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

• I lost all my folders and files from all contexts of my. Is there a way I can find my file and contects and transfer them to my new email address?

  folder and transfer contects

  Some used body my e-mail and now I have to create a new account. I lost all my folders and files all my contects.is there anyway I can find my file and contects and transfer them to my e.mail new address, I am one who is suffring now .i should add every thing from the bigning.i had this acct almost 10 years.

  If you use Outlook Express, then locate the *.wab computer.  If this is not the case, then you must be specific to the subject what email program you use, and what form of e-mail account you have and what operating system you are using, as your questions depend on this, and we have no idea if not.

• lost all my sounds and when I passed all the icons were in different places and everything is much broader.

  Hello

  Last weekend or there abouts I seems to have lost all my sounds and when I passed all the icons were in different places and everything is much broader.

  What has gone wrong?

  Hello

  I did (I think) and it did not work, so it looks like I'll have to call Packard Bell and see what they have to say.

  Thanks for your help anyway

  Ken

  As you have already gone to the website of the manufacturer of the computer and reinstalled the drivers is a good thought to contact Packard Bell about this.

  See you soon.

• BlackBerry Smartphones ONLY transfer Contacts between Blackberry's without all the data and settings again BB

  Anyone know if there is a way ONLY to transfer all my contacts from one Blackberry to another Blackberry without transferring all the data and settings to the other Blackberry with the device switch Wizard?

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  If you have a full backup of the old Blackberry, use this .ipd file to restore only the contacts on the new device.

  If your contacts are up to date in Outlook do a one-way Outlook for contacts device synchronization.

  Thank you

• Reinstalling Windows: Save preferences and settings CC

  After hours and hours of trying to diagnose a number of problems with my Windows 8.1, I have finally conceded and is going to be reinstalling a fresh copy of the operating system that you are clean.

  I want to know if anyone can tell me how I can save my preferences and settings for my Adobe CC programs so that I can jump the right to use them again as if nothing has changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I currently use Bridge, Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat.

  I would like to know if there is a way to export my workspace and reimport them on the new installation.

  I have a few Photoshop plugins I'd like to reimport.

  Other valuable parameters should I also know as well.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hi JayVilla,

  Whenever you choose to uninstall an application of Creative Cloud desktop application, you must select the option 'No, keep the app preferences', so that your app preferences keeps when you reinstall.

  

  See the migration presets in Photoshop CC link to migrate your Plugins and other older versions of Photoshop presets.

  Kind regards

• I bought photoshop elements 12 a few years back, but my computer crashed and I lost all my software and files. How can I get it back?

  I bought and downloaded photoshop elements 12 and I want to reinstall it. How can I when I never had a disc? Do you keep records of purchases? My computer had a virus and I lost all my files and software. I do not really want to buy it all over again.

  As long you have your serial number, or check the Adobe ID you simply download and install again

• lost all my colors and stacks of custom font I place after that I upgraded to 20141 is this normal

  lost all my colors and custom font stacks that I place after I've upgraded to 20141 it is normal and this will happen whenever I update.

  Hi mi32dogs,

  The October release is a new version completely and not and update to the previous version. As the colors and custom fonts are not migrated, you don't see them.

  It won't happen if you update to an existing version.

  Thank you!
