App Settings Reset

I recently updated the app iXpenseit in the app store. It subsequently began to run very slow but with no other obvious changes. A couple days after the update, however, the app has reset itself to default settings. The peculiar thing though is that instead of the "vendors" field being empty, it has about six vendors in there those of which I have never visited such as Costco and McDonald's while none of my hundreds of vendors are there anymore.
More importantly I want to know if I can use Time Machine to recover my settings. To be clear, none of my history was lost but all of my vendors and categories are gone. The app has a feature that allows me to backup, but I never turned this on. Is it somehow possible to retrieve the categories through Time Machine? Though I know this is the Apple forum, if anyone can also speak to WHY this may have happened, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can - I did this to recover expenses I accidentally deleted when I removed the wrong App. Its a case of restoring the backup directory from the TM to the desktop, and then replacing the files on your Mac with the TM versions and doing a "restore from ..." in iTunes
As to why, no idea.

How to recover apps settings after syncing in another itunes?

I plugged in my wife's iphone to my itunes to copy a video from my computer then it synced. Now, the settings of her previous apps are now gone (i.e. Snoopy Fair has reset). These apps were also synced from my itunes before. But the apps she recently downloaded using her own accunt is still there. Is there a way to restore the apps that reset from where it was before?
I don't she has recently done a backup of her phone as well.
Please help. Thanks!

She would have to restore her phone from a backup made while this app data was on her phone. Note: doing so will revert all settings and data to those contained in the backup.
If she wants to do this, do the following:
Without connecting her phone, open iTunes on her computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect her phone, right-click on the name of her phone on the left sidebar of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup, be sure to select the most recent backup of her phone to restore from
Now disconnect her phone from your computer. Hopefully her phone will be back to the state it was before this happened.
When complete you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
If she wants the video synced to her phone, copy it to a thumb/usb drive and import it to her iTunes library and sync it to her phone from there.
To avoid this problem in the future only sync with one iTunes library.

Hello hjb_07
You can use that OS.Just follow the steps below:
You will need a PC, an internet connection, your BlackBerry Device and your device usb cable to implement all this.
This is how i upgrade my BlackBerry and ill make this simple and straight forward as possible.
1. Uninstall first any BlackBerry software that you previously installed on your PC, as it may and will conflict with the guide
2. Download BlackBerry Desktop Manager and install it.
3. Download your specific and latest BlackBerry device OS or any other official BlackBerry software download page and install it.
Official BB OS download portal:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html
Note: If the OS that you are downloading is from your official carrier, skip step 4, if you got it from other carriers – read on brother.
4. Change your folders option to show hidden files/folders (Click My Computer > Organize > Folder and search options > View tab > click "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
Search your C: drive for Vendor.xml and delete them, else you can look for the two vendor.xml manually thru
- Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete Vendor.xml. (If you are running 64-bit Vista or Windows 7, the path will be C: > Program Files x86 > Common Files > Research In Motion > AppLoader)
- On Windows Vista/7 navigate to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username) – On Windows XP navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. (If you are running 64-bit Vista or Windows 7, the path will be C: > Program Files x86 > Common Files > Research In Motion > AppLoader) double click Loader.exe.
Thanks.
Good luck!

IPhone 4S 5.0.1 Update Improves Battery w/ Settings Reset

After installing the update make sure you reset all setttings. I have done a few updates now and have had much better sucess after settings reset all. Standby drain has been virtually eliminated from 2-4% hr before update. It is located in settings/reset//reset all settings. You loose some wifi and desktop settings, but data, apps, etc remain intact.

freddy,
you don't really need to completely restore as new phone, but reset all settings in my experience and do a full drain and recharge. it is located settings -> reset -> reset all settings. this clears all the basic settings (i.e. wallpaper network, etc) back to default, but still keeps all of your apps, email and data as they were. when it reboots though choose "setup as new phone" after you go throught the basic questions (i.e. lang, location, siri ) setup. your apps, data will still be there as before.
still midway through my second day (east coast) and after nearly 5 hrs of standby and 30 minutes of data usage, battery is at 93%.
ps: does the mk5 refer to a golf... i have a mk6 tdi

Default app settings won't stay.

So none of my default app settings in Lion ever stick! They always reset back to the Apple defaults. And yes, I do the whole 'Get Info' thing, and tell it to apply the desired app to all files like that one. But once I restart, the settings revert. Is this a bug? Some weird permissions issue I need to fix? Yes, I repaired them. Still happens. Anyone? Oh, and I don't upgrade becuase my MacPro is too old. It can't!

Ah, just seeing THIS http://ansonalex.com/troubleshooting/default-applications-reset-upon-mac-os-x-li on-10-7-restart/

Restore only saved wifi passwords after Network Settings reset

Hi, I did a Networks Settings reset without realising it would wipe my wifi passwords. I know they're in the backup on my iTunes, but I don't want to do a full backup and lose some recent data from other apps that's on my phone. How can I restore the wifi passwords without restoring the whole backup and reverting the phone back to a previous state? Thank you!

I know - as I said, they are in the backup.
And, how do you know that? Did you encrypt your backup? No where in anything you've posted so far have you stated such.
Regardless, the restore from backup process is all or nothing, & I'm not aware of any software that can extract data from an encrypted iPhone backup. So, if in fact your backup is encrypted, then your only option is to restore from that backup.

Problem with checkbox value and app.settings.getSetting()

Hello everyone.
I`ve got a problem with getting saved settings for checkbox.
Saved settings doesn`t apply on checkbox value.
It`s strange, but it always "true".
So here piece of code:
checkMe = 11;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("savea", "chck")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"); // get saved value, else 11
                      alert("checkMe = "+checkMe)
                    if(checkMe == 11){
                        checkMe= false;   //if there is no saved settings, checkbox value will be false/ unchecked
                        alert("You run this script first time, so manual value will be 'false'")
                        }else{
                            checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck");     // if saved settings exist, get true or false
     alert("Yes, checkMe will = "+checkMe)
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value = checkMe; /// checkbox value will equal saved checkMe
var fff = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // string for alert
alert("aha! but checkbox value is = " +fff+ "\n Why so?")     // here we`ve got always "true"
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // checkbox value to variable
    app.settings.saveSetting("savea", "chck", path11); //saving checkbox value
    alert("Saved this value - " + app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"))
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value is always true.
Can someone exmplain why and how to get rid of this static value?
P.S. just in case, here is full code:
function mainFun()
    this.windowRef = null;
mainFun.prototype.run = function()
    /*----- UI -----*/
          var retval = true;
          var win = new Window("palette", "Check option", [150, 150, 460, 455]);
          this.windowRef = win;
          win.checkPanel = win.add("panel", [25, 150, 285, 265], "Checkbox");
          win.checkPanel.chkOne = win.checkPanel.add("checkbox", [10, 15, 125, 35], "Checkbox One");
          //win.checkPanel.chkTxtOne = win.checkPanel.add('edittext', [140, 15, 230, 35], '');
     win.quitBtn = win.add("button", [110,275,200,295], "Close");
checkMe = 11;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("savea", "chck")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"); // get saved value, else 11
                      alert("checkMe = "+checkMe)
                    if(checkMe == 11){
                        checkMe= false;   //if there is no saved settings, checkbox value will be false/ unchecked
                        alert("You run this script first time, so manual value will be 'false'")
                        }else{
                            checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck");     // if saved settings exist, get true or false
     alert("Yes, checkMe will = "+checkMe)
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value = checkMe; /// checkbox value will equal saved checkMe
var fff = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // string for alert
alert("aha! but checkbox value is = " +fff+ "\n Why so?")     // here we`ve got always "true"
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // checkbox value to variable
    app.settings.saveSetting("savea", "chck", path11); //saving checkbox value
    alert("Saved this value - " + app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"))
          win.quitBtn.onClick = function() {
              win.close();
    win.center();
          win.show();
          return retval;
if(typeof(mainFun_unitTest) == "undefined") {
    new mainFun().run();

Played around with different values, combinations...
Doesn`t work too:
checkMe = 111;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("333", "check")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("333", "check");
alert(checkMe);
                if(checkMe == 111){
                         win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= false;
                        }else{
                            if (checkMe != false){
                            win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= true;
                            }else{
                            win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= false;
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value;
    var path12 = path11.toString();
    app.settings.saveSetting("333", "check", path12);
    alert("Saved value - " + app.settings.getSetting("333", "check"))

How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch?

How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch? For instance: I don't want the app "Stocks" to appear on my screen any more. Is there a way to delete/hide it?

The built in Apps can't be deleted, but they can be moved to an unused screen. You could create a folder of all unused Apps and move it.

SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using
hope will never return. Thanks

We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?

I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?
I did a reset of my phone yesterday and now when I go to purchaed to download my paurchsed tabs there is nothing there.
I see them in my ipad but they are not in my itunes app section either.
I searched for one in the app store and it usually said "open" or had the cloud icon with the little arrow to downlaod again (free). But none of that shows up at all this time. All the apps that I'm missing show up in the pp store for me to buy again like I never purchased them at all!
What's going on?
I'm missing a ton of apps!
Pleae help me!
Gaby

I just wanted to add this information to my post:
I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
I want my apps back.
Thanks,
Gaby

Xfce's default app settings keep getting changed.

My xfce default app settings are constantly being changed to KDE apps.

Raccoon1400 wrote:How can I change settings so kde cant get to it but xfce can?
Well ... that you can't do I guess. The dirty solution I proposed effectively blocks anything/anyone from changing it easily.
Like I said look in the KDE configuration panel for anything related with default apps and if it is possible to leave them alone. Not much more I can say, I use xfce only.
Another option is to backup that file (if indeed that is that file that controls the default apps) and when you start xfce you copy the backup over that file, when you logout from xfce make a backup. This way kde can mess it all it likes and you will still have your default xfce apps and an easy way to change it in xfce.

Settings reset code?

Does anyone know the code for a total settings reset on the N95 please

It must only be in a few thousand posts on these forums so pretty obscure.
Revert to factory defaults: *#7780#
Soft reset: *#7370#
Hard reset: power off. Hold down '3', '*' and 'call'. Power on with those buttons pressed. Release them when the phone shows the nokia "handshake" logo or the language selection screen.
Do a backup first - these procedures will wipe your settings at least, and the resets will wipe everything in the phone's central memory (but not the content of the memory card).

ColdFusion Builder 3 Settings Reset on Restart

I've downloaded the ColdFusion Builder 3 trial and am experiencing some odd and very annoying behavior.
I've customized some code editor text font and color settings. I've added an entry to the CF Servers panel for an instance of ColdFusion 10 running inside a VMWare virtual server on my laptop.
When I restart Eclipse, all the code customizations I've made are reverted back to the default install settings and the entry in my CF Servers panel is gone.
I've been an IntelliJ user for well over a year, but in doing much more cfscript-based development the CF Plugin for IntelliJ is proving to be a hindrance so I thought I'd give CFB 3 a try and see if there were any improvements over CFB 2. However, I can't take this kind of behavior. Hopefully someone can give me a setting or someone else has seen this before and can give me an idea of where to start looking.
I have CF Builder installed as a plugin into Eclipse Kepler 64-bit for Mac. I added the CF Builder update site and have updated to CF Builder 3.0.0.290000. I also previously installed as the standalone version with no additional plugins and experienced the same behavior.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Milan...
My apologies for taking so long to get back to this. I just did some testing tonight of your instructions as well as those by Kaif above.
Firstly, I installed ColdFusion 10 locally on my Mac. I added the local server to the CF Servers panel successfully. After restarting Eclipse, the localhost entry remained in the CF Server panel.
Secondly, I followed your instructions to make a new profile and make my font/coloring customizations in it. I restarted Eclipse and my font and color selections were maintained (through 3 restarts). I noted that my newly created profile was selected in Preferences after each restart.
I then added a remote CF 10 server to the CF Servers panel successfully (as noted by the panel telling me that the server was running and being able to launch the CF Admin from within Eclipse). At this point there were 2 entries in my CF Server panel--localhost and the one remote server that lives inside my VM. I restarted Eclipse and when it came back up, only the localhost server remained. I might add that the VM has ColdFusion 10 installed in "multi-instance" mode and that the remote server instance that I added to the CF Servers panel was one of 4 CF instances configured and running inside the VM.
All the while, my font and color customizations have remained the way I set them.
So, it appears as though we're down to just one bug relating to remote server registrations in the CF Servers panel.
I saw that another user was reporting something similar in this thread: ColdFusion Builder 3 RDS and Remove Server settings reset on each restart so apparently it's not just me.
Thanks to you and everyone else for all the ideas and troubleshooting help thus far. At least at this point I think I might be able to use this for day-to-day coding, even though I really want the remote server system to work correctly so I can use the step debugger feature again.

Settings reset when Comp resta

Since downloading 2.8.0004, whenever I restart my computer ALL my sound settings reset to stock settings. (Volume settings, Mic settings, etc). So everytime I restart my computer I need to go through all my settings and put them back where I want them.... EVERYTIME. I tried to figure it out on my own, but I'm at my wits end.
Any help you guys could give me would be very much appreciated.
