Any hacks to modify default settings in common adjustment settings?

Hey folks, I've just recently upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and am (thankfully) seeing many improvements both in performance and features.
However, it seems that with the new version, Apple has decided to not allow you to customize any of the default settings for commonly used adjustments (in my case "Crop") to use my own settings.
Specifically I'd like to add my default crop-values of a ratio of 16x9 (ideally replacing the default 3x2)
Any chance there's n easy hack?

It appears to me after tinkering around that I can set a page like I want it and then save it as a template. I did so to a folder in Finder. Now the only way I can automatically bring up "default" settings on a Pages blank document is to go directly to that file in Finder and open it from there, not from Pages itself. Is there any other way to do this?

Does anyone know a way to modify "Default Settings" printer preset?

I use enough different presets that I find that the "Last Used" preset for printing if often what not what I really want.
(Background: I save a number of different profiles for different types of print jobs, so that I can select "Color Production" as a preset, for example, and get a number of printer settings configured as once, like Color Settings, Quality, Color, and duplexing. These are set and selected using the "Presets" picker in the Print dialog box. One can use the picker to save and view settings as well.)
Am I correct in that there doesn't seem to be a way to change the "Default Settings" preset? The "Show Presets" pick in Presets doesn't offer the ability to change the presets, and the "Default Settings" preset can't be deleted here, unlike the user set presets; it also isn't possible to save a preset as "Default Settings".
Ideally, changing the default would let me check the box to always use the default (as default), but this way I would have my own defaults. Just wondering whether I'm missing something obvious - I've tried the modifier keys trick clicking on things, and also the CUPS subsystem at localhost:631.

Any Way to Set Default Settings for HDR Toning?

I have developed a nice set of parameters for the HDR Toning feature and have saved them as Noels Defaults, but I don't see a way to make them the default settings for HDR Toning. Frankly I find the default color settings for the tool very garish. I suppose that's good, because it always reminds me that I need to select my own settings, but...
Can you suggest a way to make my own settings the HDR Toning dialog defaults, so as to save a step each time I use it?
My apologies if I'm being dense and missing something obvious.
Thanks.
-Noel
P.S., I'm on Windows 7 by the way, and of course I'm talking about Photoshop CS5.

Thanks Zeno.
Well, then, Adobe, could you please make the defaults settable, for example like Camera Raw?
Thank you.

Hi,
If am understood, I hope you are expect the authorization copy.
Procedure
       1.      In the Administration --> System Initialization --> Authorizations window, choose the name of the user whose authorizations are to be copied. Hold the mouse button until a rectangle appears around the user name.
       2.      Drag the rectangle to the name of the user to whom to grant the authorizations.
       3.      Release the mouse button.
       4.      A system message prompts for confirmation of the copy operation.
       5.      Choose OK to confirm the operation. The authorizations are copied completely to the second user.

Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?

Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
If not, you have nothing to worry about.
Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account.

I can not reset factory default settings in photoshop, which will enable the "mini bridge". any ideas???

I tried uninstall and installing the program. I am taking a class and I need to open the "mini bridge" within the program. The instructions were to open the program and as it was opening, press cntrl, alt and shift to access the default settings. I did this and the prompt came up asking if I wanted to go to factory default settings, I responded yes. The program continued to open and should have shown the mini bridge tab in lower left c@orner of the application page, nothing shows up. This is my dilema.

Hi,
The Mini Bridge panel is no longer available in the most current major version (15.x) of Ps CC aka 2014. You can install the previous major version, Ps CC (14.2.1) by using the Creative Cloud desktop application.

HT4528 Is there any way to get rid of the recent iphone upgrade and revert back to default settings? Since upgrading I have experienced nothing but problems with Siri.

Since selecting the prompt to upgrade my iphone4s, I have experienced significant problems. The "old" Siri disappeared and the new one is slow, ineffective and unavailable much too frequently. The faded colors on my iphone screen are also troublesome. I wish that I could revert back to the default settings
on my iphone4s. Has anyone else experienced the above problems?

Apple does not support downgrading to a previous iOS.
You might first try a reboot:
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
If it doesn't help, try
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settiings.

Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers

Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers
We have 4 Windows Server 2008 R2 print servers, all of which has the same printer queues installed on them that are utilized by a 3rd party printing program that does a round-robin load balancing scheme.
All printers are a combination of HP and Xerox all running some variation of the HP UPD and the Xerox UPD. Some use the PCL 5 and some use the PCL 6 version determined by age of printer and need.
There are typically two printer queues for each physical printer.
Example:
LOCATION_ROOM
LOCATION_ROOM_TRAY2
The regular queue is ok being left with default setting,
The _TRAY2 queues are set to print to "labels" or "pre-printed" paper type or a specific tray.
From time to time, these _TRAY2 queues will revert back to a factory default state and lose the setting to print to a specific paper type or tray. Sometimes it happens to the _TRAY2 queue on all 4 servers, sometimes just 1 server, etc. No rhyme
or reason.
Disabled Bi-directional options on both the HP and Xerox UPDs per another article on the internet that said bi-directional could cause the printer to send back settings to the driver and cause this issue. Even with this option off, we continue to see
printer _TRAY2 queue settings revert back to factory default and lose their specific paper and tray settings. We have ruled out the possibility that users or other technicians are the ones making these changes so we suspect it is some interaction between
the servers, printer drivers and printers themselves causing the issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start by using one of the print drivers included in Windows for a few of the printers and confirm it's the universal driver that is causing the issue.
HP installs some other processes and services on the machine which communicate with the HP devices.
PML and something else. You might want to shut those down and see if these processes are the ones modifying the settings.
Run process monitor to truly identify which processes is causing the modifications.

How do I change the default settings in a printer's Default Settings Preset?

I am running Mavericks, printing to an HP LaserJet 4050N via IP. [The following behavior takes place whether the printer's internal settings are set to Duplex Printing is On or is Off.]
I would like to set the default to print duplex, whether I am in an application or 'drag and drop' a file onto the printer icon (which temporarily opens the application, prints the document, and quits).
I do not seem to be able to modify the "Default Settings" Preset to specify duplex printing. However, I have been able to create a new "Default Settings-1" Preset that specifies duplex printing. By selecting the "Default Settings-1" Preset, in any application, I get duplex printing without any problem.
First -- problem:
If I drag-and-drop a file -- e.g., .pdf or .docx -- onto the printer icon, it opens the application and uses the "Default Settings" Preset -- not the "Default Settings-1" Preset -- and prints single-sided. How do I get drag and drop to use the "Default Settings-1" Preset to get duplex printing?
Second -- issue:
Bizarrely, if I am in an application, select "Show Presets", select "Default Settings-1" and click on "Layout", it sometimes shows that "Two-Sided" printing is "Off" and sometimes that it is set to "Long-Edge Binding" -- but that seems to have no deleterious effect on duplex printing!
Any suggestions / explanations for my problem / issue?
Thanks much,
Avi

Other than using the CUPS interface, http://127.0.0.1:631,which it sounds like you've done, I don't think there is a way to edit the Default Settings. The standard approach is to create a preset, the solution you've found.
For drag and drop printing, you should be able to get to the print dialog and select your preset or turn duplex on by holding the option key down, selecting the file, then doing the drag and drop (either to a printer or to an open printer proxy application).
I realize this isn't a solution, but I hope it's helpful.

Restoring the default settings for Audition CS6

Fortunately you don't have to uninstall and reinstall Audition to do this - although that's certainly an option. Bear in mind that doing this will only work if you choose to delete your preferences as part of the process.
There are several other options though, and I suggest reading through all of them before deciding which to use. We'll start, though, with the other simple one. If you start Audition with the 'shift' key held down, this will achieve the same result - the preference files won't be read, and the default (aka 'vanilla') ones will be reinstated. Certainly with a Mac (and probably a PC as well) you have to hold the 'shift' key down at least until the splash screen appears, otherwise it might not work.
From here on, it gets a little more complicated, but you get more options. The reason for this is that in order to get at the individual preference files, we have to consider three different operating systems, XP, Windows 7, and OS X. By default, in all of them, the location of these files is hidden, and you have to reveal it. When you have done this, the path and files will be revealed.
Revealing hidden folders:
XP: In a folder, go to Tools>Folder Options>View and scroll down to the hidden folders entry. Select the 'Show' option. The path to the Preferences folder is C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Windows 7: In a folder, go to Organise>Folders and Search Options>View, and then it's the same as XP. The path to the Preferences folder is c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Mac OX: The Preferences are in a library folder, and are apparently stored twice. The locations of them are:
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Audition.5.0.plist
There is a note about this at the end of this FAQ*.
Anyway, there are, apparently, several ways to unhide them:
1. The easiest way to get there without opening Terminal is to open Finder or click on your desktop, click Go in the menu bar, then hold down the OPTION/ALT key. You should see Library appear in the menu as long as your holding that key and clicking the menu item will bring it up in Finder.
2. Use Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder>Go>Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory. When you have finished manipulating the relevant parts of it, close this window and the folder will no longer be visible.
3. To make the Library folder visible permanently (like in OS 10.6 and earlier), open the Terminal application and use the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
What do you have to do when you've revealed the folder?
The basic idea is that if Audition opens, and it doesn't find a particular file in the preferences folder, it recreates it. So, you can either delete all the files in it (the same as Shift+open), or you can be more selective. Primarily there are three .xml files that you are interested in, and if you are only having a problem with one of them, then that's the only one you need to delete.
Application Settings - deleting this will restore most of the settings in the program itself back to defaults
Effect Presets - deleting this will restore default settings, but if you have made any of your own presets, you will lose these too.
Favorites - the same as Effect Presets, only for the Favorites list.
There is also an .xml file for Machine-specific settings, but this only affects your sound device, and generally would be rewritten anyway if anything changed, so generally doesn't need to be touched. Mainly it's the three I mention above that are the ones you will be interested in.
* A note from Durin about the Mac preferences files:
"The directory path, ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/ is where we store all the preferences, presets, workspaces, log files, etc. Anything and everything a user may need access to. The .plist file is more of an application/OS level preferences - similar to an ini or registry entry in that it's less user-facing and more preferences for how the application works with the OS. In Audition's case, this stores information such as the last directory accessed, File Open/Save dialog dimensions, and other mysterious prefs that are just random GUIDs that Audition and OS X understand.
In either case, if the directory or .plist is missing, it will be rebuilt on launch to the first-launch defaults."

The success of setting the correct cassette will depend on the applications you use. If the apps are set to use any cassette, rather than call a particular cassette, then making cassette 2 the default will succeed. But if the app calls cassette 1, then no amount of driver default settings will help. So in this case, you will have more success if you create another preset for printing to cassette 2, then you can ensure you select this preset when you want to print on plain paper. And of course you can select the envelope preset when you want to do this.
If you do want to look at modifying the printer defaults, this can be done via the CUPS web page.
To access CUPS, open Safari and type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
This will open the CUPS Printer administration page and will show all the printers currently configured on the Mac. For the printer that you wish to change the defaults for, click its name in the Queue Name column.
Clicking the printer name will open the printer administration page for that printer. Here you need to click on the Administration drop menu and then select Set Default Options.
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General. Scroll down the list until you find an entry like "Paper Source" or something similar that shows the cassettes and select Cassette 2.
With the option selected you then need to scroll down the list to the bottom of the page where you will see the ‘Set Default Options’ button. Click this button and you will then be presented with an authentication window. Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
Now you can open an application and select to print and then check the appropriate paper source menu to see if cassette 2 is the default.

When & how to use default settings option in job scheduling with BO 4.1

Hi,
With BO 4.1 we got new features and one of them is "Default Settings" option in the job scheduling. While scheduling a report in CMC we are getting below attached screen. I want to know when and how to use this option? while scheduling job on queries.
Please guide me to, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mithun Pati.

Hi Mithun,
Below thread may give you clear idea.
The Purpose of the default settings is to have customized default settings for the enterprise. These settings would apply to any user who has access to Info view and wants to schedule a report. For example you can setup default values for "From" section of email so any scheduled reports use those settings. Similarly another setting we have defaulted is the number of retires involved and the seconds for each retry. Business Objects will not send out a failure emails unless the last retry has failed. The default settings should only be modified by an admin.

Can I assign my default settings in Publish?

Hi,
Each time when we publish, we need to assign some parameters again.
For example, I need to change Flash Player Version from "Flash Player 10" (default) to "Flash Player 9"
and change eLearning output from "None" to "SCORM 2004" (Enable Quiz/reporting then choose SCORM and set Manifest).
Can I assign these default settings in Publish? (Because they don't exist in Preferences)
I suppose I can modify these default values in some external files - xml, ini, etc.
Hope somebody can suggest.
Thanks.
Joseph

Sorry. I need to mofidy my saying.
We installed CP5.5 in each standalone computer without using any external share storage.
So it's true. The setting will be preserved in same project.
However, we want to have a method to pre-set publish setting.
So whenever we create a new project, its default publish settings must be Flash Player 9 (in Flash Player version) and SCORM 2004 (in eLearning output).
Thanks.
Thanks
Joseph

ITunes default settings in 7.x

Does anyone know a way to get around some of the settings in the new upgrade? For example, when I would delete a song in my external hard drive and then click on the song, it would lead back to the folder the old song had been in (very useful when putting in a better version). Now it defaults to the "My Music" folder against any defence. Does anyone know why this is now the case? Does anyone have a workaround?

No, you can't change the default settings, but you can set some common
properties for all fields. You can either select them all, and then
right-click one of them and change the options there, or you can use a
script.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
