• Cannot export the profile of calibration of camera when exporting catalogs

  I often take work and have to color calibrate the artwork using a color corrector.  The 'calibration of the camera profile' is saved in my "camera profiles.  I attached pushes a lot so when you export a catalog LR my laptop on my desk, the calibrated camera profile is not transferred. So whenever I do a manual transfer to the camera profile folder.   When can we expect the 'calibration of the camera profile' export as well as the catalogue?

  Concerning

  The way the file structure is designed, I don't expect camera profiles to be included in the catalogue. They are all grouped in the resources folder in the Lightroom folder. Lightroom chooses the profile based on the model of camera. This would require all profiles of camera must be included in the catalogue. I could be wrong, but I don't think that this is part of the Adobe development plan.

• What is the extension of the files in the profile folder - file the emails, but not the message .msf file?

  I need to recover a lost Inbox (lost due to a failure). The file to the Inbox in the profile folder is somehow cleaned as if the record has been compacted and some new emails have been added. The size of the file is now a few hundred KB when there should be a few hundred MB. I have run a recovery of files on this disc, but now have thousands of files with names like Raw122354 and don't know what to look for, because the Inbox file has no extension. I can remove those with file extensions I don't know, but that still leaves too many to go through.

  I guess I should also ask if this is a waste of time, if I have a chance to recover the file?

  Messaging files are text files, so yes, you can open them with a text editor. I wouldn't try to open a file of messages Gigabyte with Notepad however.
  There is no need to rename the file with a .txt extension, it can be opened with any text editor without worrying.

• Thunderbird crashed after checking the profile folder, now no accounts

  I was checking the troubleshooting to locate the Profiles to save folder. I clicked on "about plugins" to see if there was any plugins installed by default and TB crashed. It will not re-start until I rebooted the computer, and then at the launch he wanted to set up an account. The two previous accounts created had disappeared. I found file profiles and there are 2 folders with random numbers in the titles. I tried the command line profile manager and creates a new profile with the choice of the copied folder, I had. TB would not start. When I chose a subfolder under profiles he started and my 2 accounts were back with emails and folders that I created. I went to the resolution of problems again and clicked on the link and it happened again!

  Should I delete and reinstall TB again to be sure? What is the best way to save e-mail? I couldn't find where you would be important old mails from TB or Outlook. We have a backup of emails from our computer to work, we need to import on the laptop afterwards. I need to work it before install TB on our portable computer with an e-mail account with several old emails that must be maintained. We try to escape using the AOL Desktop application!

• Is there a way to merge the bookmarks on my old pc with those on my new pc? (PS: I have unable connect to the old pc using old profile but can access the profiles folder).

  My profile on my old laptop has become corrupted and I can't log in with my regular account (admin). I would like to add and merge bookmarks former firefox to another laptop, which already has existing bookmarks. I can not simply copy and paste the profile folder as this would crush my existing bookmarks and settings. Unfortunately, I have not set up the sync on this browser feature.

  Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't have good tools to merge and dédupliquant bookmarks. I will propose a roundabout way to do. Here's an overview:

  (1) create a new profile Virgin (#3) in your current Firefox (see details at the end)

  (2) while using the #3 profile, restore a file in JSON format to backup your old (#1 profile) system (see restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer)

  (3) export bookmarks restored to an HTML element in a perfect location, with a file name unique format (see Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks)

  (4) exit Firefox and is reactivated in your normal profile (profile #2)

  (5) file bookmarks import as HTML (see import bookmarks in HTML file)

  (6) create a backup in case something is not going to step 7 (see restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer)

  (7) rearrange bookmarks in the folder of imported bookmarks (see https://support.mozilla.org/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-w...), possibly using an add-on deduplicating

  Create a new Firefox profile

  A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

  Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Do not delete anything here. Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button to create a profile, give it a name like OldBookmarks and skip the option to change the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

  You are ready to return to the new profile and create export to HTML format.

  When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

• Suspicious files in the profile folder

  There are two executables in my Firefox profile folder called SESSIONSTORE. MSI EXE and TEMP. EXE. Both files have the McAfee logo as their icon (large red M with gray background).

  I scanned both files with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes, and no file has been reported as suspect.

  Both files have a filedate of 19/12/2008 and everyone is 3 092 KB in length.

  Are these files OK, they are perhaps a vestige of the antivirus McAfee or Site Advisor (which I used to use) or do I remove them?

  I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Thanks for your help.

  You can delete them because they seem to be quite old, 2008

  Maybe it's time to create a new profile if the profile is so old to remove the remains of the previous versions of Firefox.
  
  I noticed that your list of details system shows a lot of prefs is longer supported in the current version, and you also have a user.js file that could possibly add some of these preferences.
  
  It is highly unlikely that your localstore.rdf has a size of large file and stores the obsolete data.

  See "create a profile":

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• Just cache the files in the profile folder

  My laptop froze all using firefox and make is no longer on. I took the hard drive to back up important files including my firefox profile. However, the profile folder contains only files cache and nothing else. What happened to my bookmarks information? I was running 14 Firefox on Windows 7.

  Look you in the wrong place (probably in Local Settings\Application Data).
  
  This location is used for the cache and not the main Firefox profile folder:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > \Local Settings\Application.

  The main profile folder is located here:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

  If you do not include this file in the backup, then I'm afraid that your personal data is lost.

• Copy the profile as a means of backup folder

  I have a simple question:
  copy of my profile from an old computer folder and then paste to the location on your new computer will keep everything? I mean can it replace the backup extensions that are available?

  Yes, with the exception of the Cache. But when you copy data to the new computer, you must copy the contents of the old profile folder in the profile on the new PC folder, replace the files in the profile created on the new PC. The profile name must be the same or Firefox does not recognize.

• What is the q2tw177e.default file located in the profile folder

  The application data folder, windows xp, has a folder called q2tw177e.default, located in the profile folder. I know nothing with this label when searching google. Makes me suspicious of this folder. Nobody knows anything about. Thank you.

  There is nothing to fear from this folder.

  This is the real Firefox profile folder that stores your personal data.

  There are two of them:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > \Local Settings\Application.

  The latter is used for the cache of navigation and a few other files.
  
  See also the about: cache for the location of the cache page.

• Firefox 4. What is the difference between addons.sqlite and extensions.sqlite in the profile folder?

  I have separate facilities 3.6.15 Firefox and Firefox 4RC2, using their own separate and distinct profile folders.

  I already know that, in the profile folder:

  • Firefox 3.6.x has extensions.log, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf files
  • Firefox 4 has replaced extensions.rdf with extensions.sqlite
  • Firefox 4 has apparently no extensions.log
  • Firefox 3.6.x does not have addons.sqlite
  • Firefox 4 is has addons.sqlite

  For a better understanding of the present, can someone please clearly, answer the following 3 questions?

  What is

  1. the purpose of addons.sqlite in Firefox 4?
  2. How it / its function differ from the extensions.sqlite in Firefox 4
  3. both are really necessary?

  addons.SQLite stores the information that appears in the tab Addons > Extensions - under the button more , as well as the AMO URL for extensions that are not configuration to use this new feature.

  Extensions.SQLite stores the data on the installed extensions, by replacing the extensions.cache and extensions.rdf files.

  You really not need the addons.sqlite file, but I do not know the ramifications to delete the content of this file and 'locking' so that it is used. Not that it stores a large amount of data; only 320kb with 30 installed extensions.

• How do the profile folder to change the settings?

  A spammer has taken control of my email. AT & T says that I need to change my firefox profile settings, but I can't find the file. How to file.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Is last Thursday

  Robert, if AT & T indicates that you need to change the profile settings of Firefox, you really see the profile folder. All you have to do is change the settings of Firefox by clicking on Tools at the top of Firefox and then click Options. When you change the settings of Firefox in this way, they are automatically saved in your profile folder.

  In case you want to reset your Firefox settings to what they were at the time that Firefox has been installed, please follow the instructions in this article: Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and solve problems.

  In any case, just for your information, you can view this article to know how to locate your profile folder: How to find your profile.

• Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

  XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

  After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

  I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1:

  Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
  a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.
  You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

  Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

  Method 2:

  System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

• the profile user account folder can be renamed instead of create a new user account

  I noticed this issue posted everywhere that none got the answer, the person posting was looking for.  Basically, the question is "can the folder of the user profile account be renamed? '...  I have the same problem.  I sent a PC in for repair.  They reloaded the operating system and created the new test user account.  Rather than just create a new user account, I've renamed the test NAME user account.  I couldn't help but notice later that user account folder name has remained the same "TEST".  That's why you have people to ask the question "can the folder of the user profile account be renamed instead of create a new user account."  It of an easy fix but does not answer the question.

  It is not usually. If you have a computer, why not have just him take care of it for you instead of friction top yourself? ;-)

  Try this instead if you really must do it yourself:

  1. create a new administrator account. Call it 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar. You definitely want to have an administrative user account like this set up that you will use not except for emergency situations. You will use this in the elevation of privileges in your daily report - which will be a Standard account - but will not need to connect to CompAdmin after that company copy unless something goes terribly wrong. ;-)

  2. create a new user account Standard for your daily work. This called something that makes you happy. I don't know your real name, so I'll call it "HDXer". Connect to HDXer to create the profile files/folders.

  3. connect to CompAdmin and:

  a. Control Panel > everything on the control panel > Folder Options

  b. click on the view tab, click hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box and then click OK. Now you can see everything.

  c. using Windows Explorer ("computer"), search for the file C:\Users\Test.

  d. Select all files and folders in this folder, except the following files: Ntuser.dat, Ntuser.dat.log and Ntuser.ini.

  e. click on the Edit menu and then click on copy. If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

  f. Locate the C:\Users\HDXer folder.

  g. click the Edit menu and then click on paste. If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

  Sign out and then sign back in as a HDXer. All your stuff should be there. You need to configure your icons and wallpaper (Control Panel > Personalize) and some preferences have been postponed, but really with the exception of the email all your data, Favorites, etc., should now be at the HDXer.

  If you have messages in an e-mail program, such as Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. Because I don't know what you use for email, I can't give you the details about it. If everything is working properly, you can remove the old Test profile by using the user accounts applet in Control Panel. It won't hurt anything to make you leave the trial on the system for a while, or even forever.
