Why can't I just copy a profile to another system in the directory profiles and modified the ini file

My main system crashed. I have a copy of the profile. When I move a copy of the profile in the profiles folder and edit the ini file to use the new name, I get a message that there is an instance of thunderbird running and I need to shut it down. I don't see any instance of thunderbird anywhere in the Task Manager. It happens just for me the fact that I am also in firefox may be the cause of the problem to a running instance. I'm under V31.7.0

I tried to simply move the mail directory in the existing profile. The thing is that I don't see the old messages. I can see all of the subfolders of the Inbox on the left but not messages in the right pain. I can see new messages, but it's all in the Inbox and not filtered to the subfolder.

I tried to activate the function of multiple profile but that doesn't seem to work.

MY BAD
It seems that I had something that was bad in the profile. I got the profile from a backup and now Thunderbird works fine.

Sorry that I missed the problem earlier.

  • Why can't I just copy my photos of the iphone 4?

    When I try to connect my iphone 4 with photos with my windows pc, it restarts as a hard stop... But when I remove pictures of iphone 4 and connect to itunes on windows pc, it works very well... I don't have this problem on mac system... Can any1 please help.thanks

    Hi ayazabubakar,
     
    -What the file type of the images you have on your IPhone 4?
    -Were the photos taken and stored on your computer or transferred to another phone to your IPhone 4?
    -You use other imaging as a printer or a scanner or webcam device?
     
    If so, it seems a known issue with such devices. Therefore, I recommend to uninstall the drivers or disable these devices, then connect IPhone 4 and transfer pictures to your computer and check if that helps.
     
    For more information about how to disable the device or uninstall the drivers for the device, see this article:

  • Why can't I just move on with windows7 starter to windows 8, my computer is only 9 months since purchest?

    Why can't I just move on with windows7 starter to windows 8, my computer is only 9 months since purchest?

    So it will not uninstall then install my programs, or what, then another question is the offer for $14.99, that's what I was watching and I filled a free upgrade and probably has not been fully tested for this upgrade, he said I would be able to get the upgrade, but there is no decrease in my emails guess still in work. While {s it improves just $ 40 million that I should wait for a version pro or ultimate?

    And what will happen to my saved files?

    and I'll be able to restore to the factory with warranty setting and I can use my series to my computer for the upgrade?

    NOW please if you don't know it please tell me I would like to know some facts and since there is so much development, in my view, the pro version is yet to come, so...

    Windows 7 Starter is not eligible for the offer of $14.99.  Only Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. If you must upgrade to Windows 8, then you have to wait on the upgrade $ 39.99 for Windows 8 Pro that will become available October 26, 2012.

    The upgrade will allow you to keep your applications, personal files and settings.

    Yes, it should be able to restore the factory State, but always backup before making changes on your computer like installing an operating system:

  • Why can I not just use DreamWeaver?

    I bought a subscription to DreamWeaver, almost a year ago, but whenever I try to open the program, it tells me that my trial period has expired. When I followed the instructions "Of this software license", he told me to open a session and wonder a serial number. When I type the serial number: exact serial number that is listed under my username and password - it tells me the serial number is not valid. Why can I not just use the software? I had to pay a monthly fee for 11 months now, and I have to go through this charade whenever I comand to use the software. Used computers for 30 years and never experienced something like that. Any advice?

    Hi JohnLynnBob,

    You must remove all the entries of Adobe since the 'hosts' file in your computer.

    The location of the hosts file is

    For windows:-C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (open it with Notepad)

    For Mac:-Finder window Open---> click on top go---> go to folder---> Type '/ etc'---> press enter - hosts (open it with text edit)

    If you see all the entries in the hosts Adobe file delete them, save the file and then launch the product---> license this software---> identify you---> the subscription will be activated.

    Thank you

  • I have lightroom 6 and just got a nikon d7200, lightroom now reads the tiff file so I can not download my pictures on lightroom

    I have lightroom 6 and just got a nikon d7200, lightroom now reads the tiff file so I can not download my pictures on lightroom

    You really produce TIFF files? If you are, no matter what version of LR read them. Files NAVE, not so much. For NEF files out of this camera, you can either upgrade to the latest 6.4 or CC 2015.4, or you can download the latest free Adobe DNG converter software and use it to convert your files to DNG and import those into LR 5.7.

    Back to TIFF format. If you are trying to import those and get a message that the files cannot be read. You will need to change the permissions on the folder that you copy the image to. Change the permissions if you have read and write access.

  • I downloaded and installed Photoshop elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can I not see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) of the file > Import menu?

    I downloaded and installed Photoshop elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can I not see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) of the file > Import menu?

    There was no updated driver available (he says that my driver was aware), so I just deleted the scanner and the computer restarted.  When he came, the scanner has already been added again.  With great anticipation, I tried to import Photoshop... but no luck (scan was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had a lot of difficulty finding a support number) and they me finally there is no update driver for OS X 10.10 and I should like a work around using "Image Capture" application  I tried it and it works very well.

  • Why can't we just keep XP?

    I have two older laptop (a Dell Latitude D610, aged about 3 1/2 years and a Dell Latitude C640, sold in 2003). I downloaded the Advisor to upgrade to Vista and Windows 7 on the D610 and it said that I needed a video card to get the "Aero" interface It is old laptops, and I do not use my laptop to a TV, download music or nothing like that. Everything I do is surf the net, to receive and send emails, do surveys online and store (mainly on ebay). Two laptops have XP Pro SP3 on them, and the double C640 boots with Linux Mint. I'm having no problem with a laptop. Why cant Microsoft build a Windows 7 for low spec PCs and laptops, or continue to offer XP (home or pro)? They would make a fortune by doing this. There are a number of these old machines still use and sell like hotcakes on ebay. The only way to get a retail XP is via Amazon or ebay and believe me, they are not cheap. In fact, the real retail versions (not OEM-for new PC only) XP Pro SP3 sells for almost as much as Windows 7 Ultimate, these sell for $ 270 to $ 300. This isn't chump change. It is the best OS (in addition to Linux) that will run on these machines. I do not put down the new technology of "fear of change". I, like many others, can't afford a new system. The only way I see Windows 7 will be when these older systems break down and buy one on ebay approximately 3 to 5 years and then, it will be Windows 9 or 10. Get the point? Keep XP available and updated more income in the pockets of your business, instead of the pockets of traffickers. If a legal copy of the program is available, it is best for everyone. One day, all these old machines will be gone, then XP will not even be a question more. Prohibition has never been the answer in a free society. Keeping only not available XP, Linux will flourish, as well as piracy.

    You don't have to run Aero, it looks just better with it.  I have Windows 7 on my netbook (dual boot with OSX) and even if there is no way, it will never run Aero, it still works very well.
