After updating to Yosemite, my screen saver settings are not maintained. The screen saver reverts to some Apple default. There is no way to get my setting to be maintained.

Hi ..
Might be corrupted preferences.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.screensaver.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then reset your screen saver.

TS3276 After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder for one of my accounts.

After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder?

Are you storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server via your .Mac account with Mail?
If so, do you access your .Mac account with an email client on another computer or regularly access your account via webmail on another computer?
If not, any other reason you need to store Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
While composing a message with Mail, it is temporarily saved in the account's Drafts mailbox so sounds like something went wrong with the process between finishing and sending the message with Drafts and Sent being stored on the server.
If you don't have any need for this, better to store Drafts and Sent messages locally on the hard drive with Mail.

There's something else going on. When you search, the search box searches the Spotlight database that it created when indexing. It doesn't search the computer again. I suspect a hosed index. System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy->delete all volumes and readd them back in. That should reindex the computer and all attached HDs. BTW, by default there are many places Spotlight doesn't return information from, mainly the various Library folders and the System folder. If you want to find everything, do this:
Click on the Desktop, CMD+F, click on Kind button, select Other, drill down to File invisible, check it, continue down to System files, check it, and click OK. Now, click on + button, click on the left-hand item and select System files and select are included, click on the plus button, click on the left-hand item and select File visibility and select visible or invisible, select File Name, save the search, drag its icon to the Dock, and use to search your entire Mac—currently starts with By Name, but Contents is available. I use this instead of CMD+F or CMD+spacebar for all searches.

How can I restore my I-pad? Several Icons such as "setting, photo, face time are not on the screen anymore.

Several ikons just disappeared from I-pad screen. How to restore an initial setting?

You can to back up your device and restore as a new device by following the steps in this article:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Before you do that though, try resetting your Home screen layout:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
This will restore the organization of the home screen to the way it came + the apps you've added. It may restore the missing App icons you are speaking of.

After updating Firefox today I can no longer enlarge or shrink the screen with two fingers on my MacBook Pro touch pad. The feature still works on antother browser. Anyone know why?

Can no longer enlarge or shrink the screen.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Websites i search are weirdly shaped and are not fitting the screen well.

Whenever i open something, It doesn't fit the screen well and i constantly have to scroll right and left when i am doing work. Also on top, the tabs are much larger than they were before and zooming in or out does not affect the tab size.

Set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config page to 1.0 and if necessary, adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting with 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.0 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

After updating to Yosemite, preview no longer reads my notes I took in Adobe

Before the update, I was able to take notes on Adobe Reader and view my notes in Preview. However, after the update, my notes are corrupted when I open to read them in preview. What happened? and will this problem get fixed? I really regret updating now..

You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

Early 08 MBPro-TCP/IP settings are not saved

On my home wireless network I have MAC address filtering enabled and broadcast SSID disabled. All MAC addresses are entered in the router's filter. An early 08 MBPro does not retain network settings for Verizon router on the network. When I look at the TCP/IP settings in network prefs I see they are nothing like other computers on my home network. If I click "assist me" then "diagnostics" in Airport setup I get walked through a process which allows me to choose the network I want to join. There is a list of available networks which does not include mine (since SSID is disabled) and a button which allows me to choose closed network, which I take. After entering my network's ID and WEP password I finally get connected and get a message that my connection is OK. Problem is, when I put the computer to sleep or restart I can't reconnect and the old settings which don't work reappear. It appears that the TCP/IP settings are not being saved. Could this be some corrupted preference of does it sound like a hardware problem? Thanks for any insights.

Odd. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.7 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Oh, and please be sure to re-boot your modem and router.

Mail settings are not saved any more

Hi,
after my mailbox structure has crashed, I tried to reset Mail as explained in this answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22302114#22302114
After restarting Mail all settings were deleted (as expected) and I set up my accounts and settings again. Then I recognized that the settings are not saved any more. I tried some times but Mail didn't save the settings.
I hope there is a chance to fix this problem.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for linked document but I find it funny and someone rude that the article assumes that EVERYONE knows the lingo used - i.e. Profile Folder is in "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\" . Where the hell is that???? Jesus, it's much easier to switch to Chrome.

IMac screen appears to have smudges under the glass. They are not on the surface and it doesn't matter what wallpaper is in place.

iMac screen appears to have smudges under the glass along the top of the screen. They are not on the surface and it doesn't matter what wallpaper is in place. Anyone else had this happen?

The " glass" front of your iMac is really not glass, at all, but an optically clear polycarbonite (plastic) that a black border painted or possibly "printed" on the backside (to hide the strong magnets that hold this cover on) that has a metal frame glued to the back to which this frame is held in place with very strong magnets.
You use one or two small suction cups or a suction cup from a windshield mounted mobile GPS mount or purchase a small commercial glass cup, that is used to handle bare glass, to get the polycarbonite frame off.
The reason I mention the material is polycarbonite is that you should NOT be using ANY type of retail/commercial window glass cleaners on this front glass or on the LCD screen.
Polycarbonite easily scratches and clouds when using ANY conventional glass cleaning solutions.
You need to use a lint-free, microfiber style cloth dampened in warm water (completely wring the water out of the microfiber cloth to the point cloth is just warm and damp with NO water dripping at all from the cloth) and use this to get the screen and glass don't screen clean.

Screen saver doesn't work after updating to Yosemite

When the screen saver should come on the screen remains black.
The screen saver is set to turn on after 3 minutes; Energy Saver is set to turn the display off after 15 minutes.
When testing the screen saver from System Preferences, the screen saver works.
When trying to activate it with a hot corner or by leaving the computer inactive, it does not work/the screen remains black.
It does this no matter which screen saver is chosen.
Is there something I'm missing? Thank you for your help.

I updated two different Mac to "YO" last week and neither encountered an issue. Screen savers are unchanged. However, there are other reports here of screensaver issues. Some have turned out to be caused by unneeded third-party utilities. Are you running any anti-virus programs, or programs that claim to "clean, optimize, or tune up" you Mac?

My screen got totally white after updating to Yosemite

Uploaded the Yosemite to my IMac.
When installing the new update (running OS10.6.8 before) the computer restarted during installation.of program.
After that the screen is just totally white. What happened and what shall I do?

Thank you.
I’m writing from a PC at the moment.
Thanks for the answer. I can’t save anything now, the computer is ‘dead’ it is a shame on all I have on the computer.
And all this problems because of my banc who wanted my to update in order to put in a special identification program.
Who shall I blame?
I have to rebote my computer.
I am crying… ☹

Can you reboot the computer to Snow Leopard? If so, then re-run the Yosemite installer application. It should be in your Applications folder.
If you can't, then you need to erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
 1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
 with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
 After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
 a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
 2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
 button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
 After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
 size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
 partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
 and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
 (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
 3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
 with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
 4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
 Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
 you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
 by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
 installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1<http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=answerlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.apple .com%2Fkb%2FDL1399&answerid=16777216&src=support_site.downloads.search>.
