    I'm moving from PC to iMac. I think that I have brought successfully my profile. My work id of addressbook, but no mail received file is obvious. The Mail subfolder in the profile of 'new' - "Mail" - is about the same size - 1.6 GB - as it was on the PC, so I guess that the mail has not moved, however, there is no sign of what I can find on the page "news" of Thunderbird. I did move by copying the profile folder of the PC on the Mac desktop, raise the profile of Mac beside him folder and dragging the PC Mail subfolder to the mail folder in the Mac profile. I think I am way over my head here; I really want to solve the problem, so I can mothball the PC. Thanks is advance for your help.

    OK, the ini file will be

    MacHD>Users>RKW (me)>Library>Thunderbird
    

    The profile folder will be in MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles with a name like d1234pg. By default. When copying content. It is this lower level folder called. Not MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles.

    To simplify a little (I hope so.

    Install Thunderbird. go to the Help menu in Thunderbird and select troubleshooting information.
    In this tab, click on the button show the frlder for the profile.
    Finder will open with the open current profile folder.
    Close Thunderbird.

    Now, locate the old profile folder, it will be contains pref.js as a file among many others.
    Copy the files and folder to this folder, and place them in the new folder Thunderbird open in the Finder for you. To replace the files.

    Open Thunderbird and you should have it all.

    Win 7 thinks that I have a 32-bit system when I try to install the 64-bit and he thinks I have the 64 bit when I try to install the 32-bit version
    I know I am running vista 64-bit, it states that in the system properties

    I have a HP Pavilion A6700, when I went to upgrade to Vista 64 bit to win7 64-bit (win7) said I can't upgrade an OS to a 64 bit one, so I tried the other way and tried to install the 32-bit 32-bit version, and then I got the msg, you cannot pass an OS 64-bit for a
    32 bit one, I looked in the system properties and it is running vista 64-bit
    Other than a clean install what can I do to improve?
    and if I do a clean install which are the files I need backup so I don't lose my data?

    Make sure you have the latest Service Pack for Windows Vista installed. Which edition of Windows Vista 64-bit you're running and what edition of Windows 7 you are trying to upgrade to?

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any breach of integrity

  • I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer.

    Original title: hoax call?

    I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

  • FM keeps thinking that I have only a trial version

    Hi people,

    I upgraded to FM 11 more than a year ago, just after its release. Now, whenever I open it, it thinks that I'm working on a trial version and invites me to 'continue the trial', 'buy', etc. This maddening behavior just started recently when I bought the creative cloud, even if the FM is not part of this package. No idea how to get rid of this annoying message?

    Gail

    I also CC apps installed and it did not affect of my installs FM.

    IIRC, the "Buy" option allows you to enter the serial number. Try this route to re - enter your serial number of FM. If this does not work, then a re-installation complete (after uninstaling) may be the next step. As a last resort, you will need to contact Technical Support.
