All my computer settings reset after latest Tiger OS update. Please help..
Hi,
I just updated the Tiger OS (10.4.4 8G32) automatically - through Software update. After the update all my settings on the computer are reset, including Dock, Mail, Safari etc. And each time I restart the computer they are reset again.
How can I fix this? Thanks!
PowerBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.4)
Have you ever checked your preferences with Preferential Treatment? Might not be it, but worth a try.

Were you signed in to iCloud?
Did you have Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings?
If so sign in to iCloud.com > Find My iPhone > Devices & select your iPhone
Otherwise, you are out of luck. -

Connectivity issues after 8.1.1 update please help! :(
Hi all. Here's the situation.
I got my Iphone 6 on release day.
Not had one single problem with it.
On Monday however I do a general software update to IOS 8.1.1
Now ever since then I cannot keep a steady connection to both WIFI AND my roaming internet.
BOTH show as connected however load EXTREMELY slowly or not at all. No matter where I am.
I have done a soft reset.
Switching on and off.
And resetting Network Settings.
Done all these 3 or 4 times and they are not helping.
It is too coincidental to not be because of the software update.
Can someone please help me?Still no help for you? I updated my iPhone 6 to 8.1.1 this past weekend and now have huge connectivity issues too. My home WiFi signal is 5 bars but runs very slow for example Facebook, the phone cannot update messages or photos. Try to connect for online banking, forget it. I have turned off WIFI and try using my Verizon signal which is 3 out if 5 bars, same problem. Don't understand why Apple cannot fix this apparent bug. Will call Apple Care in a few minutes and let you know what they say.

All of my settings reset after I restart my iMac.
I've been having this problem for a little over a month now, I've spent countless hours researching, and every possible solution that I've come across hasn't worked for me. I've reset my PRAM, I've repaired my disk and permissions multiple times, even by using the Disk Utility on my Recovery Partition.
Basically, about two months ago I (regretfully) changed my account shortname by going to System Preferences>Users & Groups, right clicking on my account and changing the shortname in the advanced options. Everything was fine, but now when I restart my iMac, my desktop wallpaper changes back to what it was on the day I changed my shortname, any apps that I add to my dock are removed after i restart, Safari opens up the guide that I was using to show me how to change the shortname, the "Users & groups" window even appears as soon as I log in to my account. Basically, my iMac seems to be booting back to the day I changed the shortname, now any changes I make aren't saved.
Everything keeps restting back to the way it was on the day that I changed my shortname. Since then, I've changed the shortname BACK to what it was the first time, hoping that would fix the issue.
Also, I'm not sure if this is normal, but if I go to "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist", and check the permissions, "everyone" is on there twice:
It also does this for every other .plist file in my preferences folder.You just can't change it all, not even back, which just doubles the problem.
Return to default desktop, apparent "loss" of home directory, (it can happen spontaneously too)...

Changed computer settings. Now I cannot print. Please help!!!
In an attempt to make my machine faster, I changed the settings of a few services on my Dell Studio Laptop (running Vista).
Everything is working fine with the exception of my J6450 Wireless Printer...and it worked fine before the reconfig.
It still works (made a b/w copy to enure it wasn't the machine that was broken).
It seems to connect when I start my computer, however when I print, I get a simple "Error - Printing" notice in the printer dialogue box.
I have reconfigured all HP related services in the computer management console, however the error remains.
Is anyone aware of a specific service that should be running or configured a specific way? Perhaps one knows of another forum where I could share the services running to get more focused advice?
Many thanks!!i have the same problem , was working fine before then i changed my password & cant get it to connect now .
have deleted the hotmail account & tried adding again this doesnt work
any ideas anyone ? -
Problem to start iMac after 10.4.11 update please help
Hi Everyone
My iMac suddenly unprovoked not working after I downloaded the latest OS X 10.4.11 update from apple.com.
After downloaded successfully, I double clicked the file to update, but nothing happened, the computer seemed not respond anything, so I logged out, but still not responding. I waited for almost 30 minutes I force switched off iMac by holding down the switch button.
Then I tried to switch it back on that normally iMac would run fine, but it stuck again remained as the starting screen, a white background with an Apple logo in the middle and a circle spinning displays loading, but wait forever and nothing happens.
How can I start my Mac as I am a new user of Macs? Is there another way?
Thanks.Hi
Just in case you are in the same situation & haven't already wiped your files then read this:
I was pointed in this direction (see link below) when the same thing happened to me & I have managed to retreive all of my data using another mac that has OS X & a firewire cable.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1246278&tstart=0
Here is some more info as well here from me to try to help to explain things as at first I couldn't make head nor tail of what I was supposed to do:
Make sure the mac that works is switched on & that your mac that will not start up properly is switched off. Connect the 2 computers using a firewire cable & then switch the mac that will not start up properly on while holding the 't' key down.
After a while a symbol will bounce around on your mac & the mac that works ok that you are connected to should show your hard disk on it's desktop (a bit like when you plug a camera or a phone or an i-pod in). The you can retrieve what you need to save off your hard disk (by dragging it onto the computer that works) & back it up. This may take some time but at least you will have waht you need
Then AND ONLY ONCE YOUR DATA IS SAFE you can erase & re-install your system software.
To do this you should eject your hard drive from the computer you are using to rescue your data (i.e. like when you eject a cd/phone/i-pod etc.)
Then you can restart your mac (the one that has frozen) and then immediately put your mac OS X installation dvd (the one that came when you got your mac) press c while it starts and then say install. You will need to also go to options & click erase & install. This will format your computer & erase everything off it so like I said make sure your data is safe first on another computer or even better onto disk.
I hope this is as helpful as I found it when I was told the same information earlier...

Pantech Marauder - Problems After 4.1.2 Update - Please Help!
My Pantech Maruder has been working great until Verizon pushed out the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
The problems I am having now, is that whenever I receive a text message, the alert sound no longer works. I have applied all the settings, tried new ring tones, etc,
The default browser is a mess. When I load Google News, it is no longer in mobile view, and I can not seem to fix it. Also, the back button does not work. It always takes you back to the Google home page.
These are just a few. Most of the time I have to turn the phone off more often that I did before the update, to get most of my apps to work.
Is there a way to go back to the previous version?
Thank you,
JimI don't think you can revert to the previous version. You said you turn the phone off and it gets better, briefly. Have you tried a system cache clear? This does work to clear some glitchy behavior on my Droid 4 running JB 4.1.2.
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

I backed up my movies and rebuild my computer, and after making sure i'm using the latest version of itunes and quicktime and and making sure i still had spare computer authorizations, i still get error 23132. Please help.
I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole. -
my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me
After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking fro
Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking from sleep. Is anyone else seeing this?
I am having the same problem with the screen not waking up after it goes to sleep. Once I was able to recover with pressing the power button just long enough to wake it but not restart. The other two times I had to power down and restart -- I also got the jagged screen graphics once.
I have been experiencing this since I installed the 10.5.3 update. It seems to be ok if I put the computer to sleep using 'Sleep' on the Apple menu, but if my screen saver comes on and it goes to sleep on its own, then I have problems waking it.
Frustrating - I don't like to power down and restart my iMac if I can avoid it. -
I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

What happened to the "overview" button in Preview?
