Desktop color reverts to THOUSANDS at each restart

I've got an Apple 1600x1024 Cinema Display and a Samsung SyncMaster as a second monitor, and both revert to THOUSANDS of colors ONLY FOR THE DESKTOP at each restart. The display preferences panel indicates that they are at millions but that is only true for application and finder windows, not the desktop. (I use solid colors, but also tried the patterns, etc., to no avail.) To actually get the desktop to millions, I need to change each display setting to thousands (which does nothing), then back to millions (which then actually sets the desktop to millions). I've logged on as root, and the display setting there is fine. I've trashed the user (me) prefs for "com.apple.desktop.plist" as well as "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", but the problem continues. Any suggestions?

Have you trashed the display color caches? You might want to try to remove any "com.apple.colorsync.profiles" files in /Library/Caches, and hide them in the Trash for a test.
Also, drag the following files to the trash:
_ com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
_ Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
_ Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
_ com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
_ Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
I'd then boot into Open Firmware (CMDOPT_OF) & type:
reset-nvram <return>
set-defaults <return>
reset-all <return>
...and then, clear the PRAM on the reboot (CMDOPT_PR, 2 chimes).
Prior to all of this, you might want to unplug both monitors - from the utility power and from the system, and let all power drain completely, leaving them off for 8-10 minutes. I've seen monitors re-set themselves this way before.
Good Luck!

My desktop background reverts to previous one upon restart

Hi,
I got my MBP with OSX 10.8.4 this May, and since changed my desktop background once to another image.
Now, whenever I want to change to another one, OSX accepts the change, but whenever I reboot or even change the user ( only 1 present, which is me = admin, though tried to log out and in to see what happens), OSX reverts to the first image and discards any changes made to the background.
Strange enough: when I go to the PrefPane and see what background has been selected, it is the new one! But the old one is showing up nevertheless.
What I tried so far:
I deleted the file that was selected as the background image ( it still keeps showing up as the background! )
I deleted the plists com.apple.desktop & com.apple.systempreferences, nothing changed
this is quite annoying!
i dont think i have anything on my machine that would interfere with the background image... no wallpaper programs & stuff like that.
any help is much appreciated!! thanks!
PS: no I dont want to use geektool etc. for things like that. it is an "unclean" solution to this problem which should not appear at all.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Change Outlook Calendar background color but its reverts back to old on restart

Dear Support,
I am trying to change Outlook Calendar background color but its reverts back to old on restart

Hi,
Let's take Outlook 2013 for example, go to FILE tab ->
Options -> Calendar -> Display options
-> Select the Default calendar color and the checkbox for
Use this color on all calendar ->
OK.
In case the Navigation Pane is corrupted, we may try starting Outlook with the switch "/resetnavpane":
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
I hope this helps.

InDesign CC always resets desktop color settings on new start

This is very annoying: InDesign CC still is not able to save the color settings I choose for the desktop (palettes, workspace background). Everytime I restart InDesign I have to manually set these things again. Since CC came out, I have been hoping that one of the updates would finally fix this.
I am using a multi-monitor workspace, InDesign CC (9.1. ) on a mac pro. I had the problem under OSX 10.8.X and now still under OSX 10.9.1.

I am having the same problem. The workspace will not save. Every time I open the program, it has reverted to some other configuration. Very frustrating.
I am using a single monitor workspace, InDesign CC (9.2) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

Stickies in dashboard revert to yellow when I restart my computer.

When I select a different color for the stickies on the dashboard, the color changes. When I restart my computer, however, all of the stickies have reverted to the original yellow color, but when I check in the i the color I selected prior to the restart is still checked. Any fixes for this?

No, you don't have a virus or other malware. Even though you don't say, I'm sure you are running Lion or Mountain Lion. This feature is known as resume. If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Mountain Tweaks. The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button. In Mountain Lion you can check a box in System Preferences > General to close all documents when quitting an application.

Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air. It's running Yosemite.
Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?
On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.
Thanks!

How to prevent the Firefox cache from clearing -- all settings are right, but the cache is gone after each restart.

I want to prevent cache from being deleted after each restart. "Clear history when Firefox closes" is unchecked. User.js files are deleted. Checking "Override automatic cache management" made Cache folder appear in addition to Cache2. After exiting Cache is still there, but upon Firefox re-launching, Cache turns into Cache.Trash and promptly disappears. What to do?

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that. Can you please try these solution to address your concern.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Palm TX desktop colors

The opening Desktop screen colors are not close to my Windows color preferences. As I read the setup info - the Palm is copying the Windows setup. Once I go past the opening screen, the colors are very close to windows settings.
The initial colors are Black background, red lines [vertical], Green columns, and yellow when an item is clicked on.
Did I miss something in "setup"?
Thanks for your assistance, StretchG
Post relates to: Palm TX

I'm not quite sure what you're asking...Do you want different colors?
The "normal" colors of Access Desktop are light blue, but if you choose another Windows color scheme to change the whole computer, there is no telling what "normal" should look like!
(My colors on Access Desktop are definitely not black, red, and yellow!)
Unlike Palm Desktop 4.2, Access Desktop 6.2.2 does not give you the option of changing the Desktop color scheme.

I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.
