Mac Forum / Applications / Firefox / Mozilla / July 2004Unable to run the latest Thunderbird
Hi, I have been using the Thunderbird 0.5 for a while for newsgroup access. I have tried to use the latest Thunderbird 0.71. However, when the new Thunderbird is launched, the icon appears in the dock for 1 or 2 seconds and then disappear. It looks like the application has quited without starting up properly. I have tried removing the directory ~/Library/Thunderbird, but the same problem occurs. Does anyone has the same problem? Any fix? Thank you very much. Best Regards, Tony Cheung > I have tried removing the directory ~/Library/Thunderbird, but the > same problem occurs. > > Does anyone has the same problem? Any fix? Hi Tony, I've noticed that this problem happens to me when there is more than one entry in my profiles.ini file in ~/Library/Thunderbird ... weird that it still happens to you when your remove the ~/Library/Thunderbird directory entirely, so this problem probably isn't what your facing, but it's worth a try ... anyway ... here's a copy of a 'clean' (1 profile profile.ini entry) .. i'm not sure if this is what's happening to you, but here it is anyway .. ------ [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/default.dw4 ------ of course you'd have to change your Path dirctive to point to your 'salted' default directory ... -steve Tony, The .7 series along with the rest of the avery branch moves profiles from ~/Library/<app name> to ~/Library/Application Support/<app name> which is where your problem lives. You can use the "fix" suggested by Steve however this works for me [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/default/<salted dir> > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Best Regards, > Tony Cheung > Tony, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > IsRelative=1 > Path=Profiles/default/<salted dir> Now that's interesting. My TBird .7.1 profile is in ~/Library/Thunderbird The funny thing, Tbird .7 Release candidates put the TBird profiel in ~/Library/Application Support/Thunderbird .. but the actual release moved them back. -steve Yes. I only have ~/Library/Thunderbird, not I did not find the ~/Library/Application Support/Thunderbird. I have removed ~/Library/Thunderbird and then start Thunderbird 7.1. The icon appears in the dock and then disappears after a second. The ~/Library/Thunderbird is then created with the following profiles.ini, [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/default.tmc What else can be wrong? Thanks a lot! Did anyone else have the same problem? Tony > > Tony, > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > -steve I have just tried Thunderbird 0.6 and it works on my Mac 10.3.4. However, I still cannot get Thunderbird 0.7.x work on my Mac. Anyone has any more ideas? Thank you! Tony > Yes.
