Lost settings?

Hi all

So far, I have used TB successfully without any major problems.
However, a few minutes ago, I restarted my PC, and when he was ready I ran TB as always, but this time
TB appeared as if it was a new fresh install: all my emails, recipient addresses, e-mail accounts have disappeared.
Given that I am facing some problems with my hard drive (C :), I think this could be the cause of the behavior of the CT. I have also reset the settings of Firefox before, but I firmly believe that Firefox has a separated for settings storage.
In any case, I went to virtue
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\
and I found the following folder bbpcfful.default. It seems almost empty and new.

I also went
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\
and I found the same file as before, but full of data. It seems correct, but I'm not sure about this since I do not what is the way that TB stores data.

I would like to know if I can restore back my emails etc and if so, how I can do.

Thank you very much.

I'll answer myself.

I followed the instructions from the following link
kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_profile_that_suddenly_disappeared

However, in my case the prefs.js file was not corrupted or something like that.
I've recreated my account (s) and stressed the newly record the existing files (old) account (s). Everything worked fine except the logical folder, I got in thunderbird to sort incoming emails.

At this point I started to think my clicking Reset button on what I did under Firefox was related to thunderbird as well...

  • Bare metal to VM and network lost settings

    Customer site, IBM System x 3650 running VMware ESX Server 3i in turn four servers to Windows Server 2003.

    Customer has decided on this approach for the DRP.  Three of the servers have been made VMs of bare metal servers back to Headquarters.  A problem noted with raising in the virtual machine environment is that they have lost the original network settings - which is logical given the fact that the adapter is different.  But it would be nice if it were the case that is static, gateway IP address and DNS settings could be part of the virtual network adapter settngs machine.  What are the options?  This is adjustable during the construction of the virtual machine?  Or is it possible to create a virtual adapter to a bare metal Server?  Others?

    A newbie question - please be patient...

    As Erik said, remove all the drivers and hardware (com ports, serial, floppy disk, NIC ports, etc.) of the virtual machine. Among the pitfalls that you may experience after the P2V is sometimes the old IP settings are required to and you can even assign the same virtual IP address to the new network card because windows has this IP linked to the old physical card. That's when you need to run the "show no present devices ', so that you can remove the old nic in Device Manager for the news of the intellectual property contained in the output register. You might have to restart the virtual machine that you can assign the IP address to the new virtual card.

    Thank you

  • My account has failed. How to get back ALL my lost settings?

    My account was missed as if I created another account on my computer.  Of

    the start menu if I click on my images, he goes into an empty folder, which is located at.

    Desktop\My Documents\My Pictures.  It used to be Desktop\Documents and Settings\utilisateur\Mes

    Documents\My Pictures.  My Internet Explorer saved favorites have disappeared also.  My desktop computer

    wallpaper was missing as well and the default screen saver.  Something is not seriously

    Here I have no other user accounts on this computer.  I am running Windows XP.  I tried the system restore, but it did not help.  The system restore actually get worse.  At first, it was just my favorite sites of Internet Explorer who disappeared.  The problem came after using a registry cleaner to make my system faster.  I tried to reverse the process, but he did nothing.

    I think a system restore might fix this problem.  The symptoms you describe are those of a corrupted profile.  Assuming you did a restore of the system to a point in time before your operation of registry cleaning, my next step would be to try to recover the user profile:

    If this succeeds to recover your data, then you must also perform a disk check

    Could check you if refresh performed? Who would have copied the folder to the settings to a folder on the desktop named old data from Firefox. If you see something like this, you could click in and see if records show a recent modification date/time, and can be used settings recently?

    If you find this, we propose ways to retrieve your data using this folder.

    If you can't find it, could you type or paste the following text in the search box of the Windows Start menu, and then press ENTER:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    This folder must contain your active settings file (profile), and what I was asking, is if it contains all the additional files. You can look at the date of change/time for any second folder see if she might have recently lost settings.

    Note: It is normal that profile being random semi, for example file names: as75df43.default

    Find any extra settings folder?

  • backup procedure

    Hello

    How can I make a backup for the parameters of the signatures on the network sensor 4210? So, if my sensor lost settings (what is for, which is on the block), how can I put in minimum time?

    Best regards

    MAHENDER Sorin

    If you use a company like CSPM management tool, administrator Unix or the new IDS (in SMV 2.1) Management Center, the configurations are stored in the database of the tool.

    You simply reset (or even recreate the image on the sensor) with sensor sysconfig.

    Then push the configuration of the management station to the probe.

    If you use IDM and VEI in a small deployment (less than 3 sensors) then you can simply copy the different configuration files located in the directory/usr/nr/etc/on another box whenever you want to make a backup.

    If your sensor is corrupted simply recreating you the image, and then run sysconfig-sensor to reset all network settings.

    Once your sensor network is reset then just ftp on the computer containing the old configuration files and move back them to the sensor.

    Run then nrstop and nrstart to start to use the old configuration files.

    NOTE: If you re - the image sensor, make sure to run the sysconfig-different sensor options before demolishing the old config files. Not all information in sysconfig-sensor is shot directly into the config files.

    For a list of configuration files that you want to backup refers to:

  • What could have happened to my LR catalog?

    Because Dropbox recently announced an update on a cloud of 1 TB drive, I thought to pass my images (OSX) file to my Dropbox folder. Because you can't really move it in the Finder, I tried the following solution of Terminal:

    sudo rm - rf ~/Pictures & & ln -s "/Users/ [username] / Dropbox/images" ~/Pictures

    (source: https://thomashunter.name/blog/move-special-os-x-user-folders-to-external-drive/)

    After it I open Lightroom and he immediately asked the last used catalog. Chose Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5 but then it showed a library that was certainly missing some files. Do not know why.

    Because I don't like my lost settings I made sort of a roll back via a solution mentioned on https://thomashunter.name/blog/move-special-os-x-user-folders-to-external-drive/ (below):

    sudo MV "/Users/ [username] / Dropbox/images" ~/Pictures

    After that, I open Lightroom and again once he asked for my catalog with the same result as mentioned above.

    So now, I lost all my files in my library. I'm a bit lost in this. And then you are my hope to solve this . So who can help out me?

    Thanks in advance!

    I guess you need to find the most recent backup of your catalog and use it.

  • Added the new computer but lost all favorite settings on old. I need new account keep different settings on both?

    My laptop (i5, running Win 7) is my workhorse computer that had all my favorite settings stored. I added a new office (AMD, Win 8.1) that will be used as a multimedia entertainment unit, but when I connected the cable to install FireFox it replaced all the settings in my laptop with the new computer. How can I keep the different settings on each computer? Must have 2 different accounts to be able to do this? I have now lost the web address for some of my sites, so it's quite painful. The "recently marked with a bookmark" folder is the main problem, because it is where I was monitoring my sites.
    Computer LAPTOP is Acer Aspire i5 & Win 7 runs the modules listed below.
    DESKTOP is a Medion with an AMD 3.8 GHz Turbo & Win 8.1, with the new version of the FF browser.
