Arranging Apps on Mac/iTunes not keeping settings

I have synced, rearranged, removed but it keeps adding back the ones I've deleted and puts them in a new spot. I've got my app icons arranged where I want them. Then I have unchecked or clicked the circled X and it keeps changing what I've done or I lose what I've done. Getting frustrating. I don't usually have this many problems with Apple products.

I really hate to say this but Duh. Sorry, I had to. Of course I do. It's either Apply after arranging or Sync. I guess it depends on what all I have changed but yes. I think I've got it now though. Not sure what is going on. As I was typing though...I had just unchecked Angry Birds and was downloading Angry birds HD. Then once it was done it add back Angry Birds regular and now they're both side by side. Like it was magic or something.
Thank you for the response though.

Arranging apps on ipod touch not possible with itunes 9?

I spent some time at work today arranging the order of my apps on my ipod touch and got everything layed out how I liked. Then I came home tonight and synced my ipod with itunes 9 and all my apps have been re-arranged to match the order they are within iTunes. I assumed when you sync it would look to see which had the most recent changes, ipod or itunes and then sync in the right direction. If itunes always re arranges the order of the apps what's the point of being able to arrange them on the ipod if the changes are going to get lost next time you sync?
My other question is that i've deleted a few applications from my ipod but they don't get deleted from itunes. Therefore i'm always having to remember what i've deleted in the day so I can delete them from itunes as well. Is there anyway to get the ipod and itunes to sync so that they contain the same apps and therefore not having to delete apps twice?
Thanks

I rearranged my apps on my Touch and then synced it to iTunes to see what happened. When I ejected my Touch and checked my apps were still in the manner that I arranged them so the method you are having issues with works perfectly fine for me. Also, looking at the online manual about the syncing of apps it states:
+iTunes automatically syncs applications you’ve downloaded or purchased on iPod touch to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to your computer.+
+_This lets you access the downloads on your computer and provides a backup if you delete applications from iPod touch._+
Based on the underlined part it is my understanding that iTunes is not set up to delete the items from your library just because you deleted them from your Touch...it keeps the apps in the library as a backup until you delete it from iTunes so that's just the way it is. As for the apps arrangement issue...if you haven't already you may want to try reinstalling iTunes 9. Not sure if that would fix the issue or not though. And not sure if anyone else is having that issue since no one seems to be posting that they too have experienced the problem.

Re-arranging apps in iPad / iTunes syncing

I was arranging my apps in my iPad into the folders that mirror my iPhone (because of the issue with restoring iPad from iPhone backup and folder arrangment doesn't sync).
I tried re-arranging the apps in iTunes, but everytime I sync'ed, the apps on the iPad would revert back to the original restore.
What I did was:
1) delete the iPad backup from iTunes.
2) eject iPad from iTunes
3) re-arrange apps on iPad
4) re-connect to iTunes using cable.
5) back up and sync to iTunes
Hope this helps someone else.

I get that ipad specific apps wouldn't transfer, but I'm talking games like angry birds and words with friends, stuff that I would have to repurchase to get on my iphone at this point even though they're in my itunes.
I went to the app store on my iphone and looked where you said but they weren't there either.
Can I really not put games I've purchsed on more than one device with the same itunes acct?? that seems odd...

Apps purchased on itunes not syncing with iphone

I recently purchased some apps from the App Store using iTunes but when I synced it with my iPhone it didn't work. This is the first time it's happened. All the other times I purchased apps through my macbook, they synced perfectly once I connected my iPhone, except for the ones I downloaded last night. I tried downloading them straight from the App Store in my iPhone, and when asked "You already purchased this, would you like to download it again for free?" I clicked Ok, but still nothing happened. Now I have five apps missing which I paid for and haven't even used.
Any suggestions as to what else I should try?

Similar problem. Apps downloaded to iTunes do not sync to my iPhone (Edge/2.0) despite clicking "Sync" in iTunes. The icons do not appear on the iPhone. My account shows the apps ordered in the receipt, but they only remain on my Mac.
Workaround: I had to download the apps directly (wirelessly) to the iPhone. I did not restart the iPhone.
Expected behaviour: the apps should appear on the iPhone after syncing with iTunes.

Arranging Apps on Mac

I can arrange apps on my MacBook Pro, itunes 11. Then sync with the iPhone 4s. Syncing has no effect on the apps, or arrangment on the iPhone.
If I leave the apps tab, then come back to it, it reloads app arrangment form iPhone. How can I fix this issue?

I really hate to say this but Duh. Sorry, I had to. Of course I do. It's either Apply after arranging or Sync. I guess it depends on what all I have changed but yes. I think I've got it now though. Not sure what is going on. As I was typing though...I had just unchecked Angry Birds and was downloading Angry birds HD. Then once it was done it add back Angry Birds regular and now they're both side by side. Like it was magic or something.

FontBook does not keep settings after computer restart

I have thousands of fonts on my HD folder, and a standards set of System and Library fonts. Any time I disactivate and acivate certain font families, my FontBook keeps these settings (for activation and disactivation) ONLY UNTILL next computer restart cycle.
After restart, when I load my FontBook application to check my fonts settings (for to make the fonts I set previously working again), Fontbook starts activating all my thousands fonts in my custom library, taking munites of waiting for a spinning wheel. I also do not see (off) signs for fonts diactivated during previous session. I see lots of duplicate font warning because Font Book is auto-activate all.
Consiquently, I have to reppeat all the process of activation/disactivation and to help my computer working with less fonts load and resolve duplicates.
So, why Font Book does not keep setting for fonts activation/disactivation in a custom library after computer restart?

Mac mini not keeping connection with Cisco wireless access point

I am trying to get my wife's Mac Mini to keep it's connection with the wireless network at her school. They are using a Cisco access point (not sure of the model) which works fine with my G4 Powerbook and the numerous Macbooks being used there, but for some reason her Mac Mini drops the connection after 4 or 5 minutes, at which point she needs to log right off for it to reconnect (as opposed to just turning the card off and on again). I have already gone through the deletion of the Networkinterfaces.plist file, and recreation of the Airport card profile process, but this only kept the interface active for about 36 hours, then it was back to the same old problem. At this point I am thinking "flakey card"...before I ship it off to Apple, can anyone offer any other possible solutions?

After spending time on the phone with a Apple support technician, he indicated that the Iphone has a compatibility problem with the wep key encryption that the Cisco appliance uses. I find this disturbing being that Cisco is the biggest in network gear. What's UP Apple? We need SP1 for the IPHONE!!!

IOS 5 sync with iTunes not keeping playlist sort

Anyone else have the problem of iTunes playlists not keeping their sort when sync'ed to iOS 5(iPhone 4)?

Fixed, sort of!
I'm having the exact same issue with iTunes 10.5, iOS 5 on an iPhone 4S. My regular (not smart) playlist was sorted by "Date Added" newest on top, and in my phone it seemed to be sorted by "Date Added" oldest on top (which is silly because I want to play my new music more often than my old music...)
Anyway, on a whim, I tried sorting my iTunes playlist by "Plays" and synced and it WORKED (properly sorted by "Plays" on my iPhone). Thinking I had fixed the issue, I again sorted by "Date Added" newest on top, and synced, and the iPhone reverted to "Date Added" oldest on top...
Thinking it might be just the "Date Added" column sorting that's F'd, I sorted by "Name," and synced and it WORKED (properly sorted by "Name" on my iPhone).
Not wanting to test each column, I decided to leave it sorted by "Plays," least on top, which is similar to "Date Added" newest on top, but not exactly. It'll have to do until Apple fixes this issue.
Conclusion: At least the "Date Added" column sorting in iTunes is completely disregarded on the iPhone, choose another sort column for now

Mac does not save settings.

Hi, I'm new here (I haven't got my mac for a long time either), so please bear with me!
I have a problem with many programs, namely my mac does not save the settings.
Word: The change of default Czech language into Polish is not permanent. Czech comes back after the restart.
Ableton: The authorisation of the program is withdrawn when I switch the laptop. I have to authorise it again after every restart.
Cubase: It changes audio input and audio output back to internal speakers and microphone after the restart.
Additionally, for example, I have changed the preferences of video files. I have changed the default player from QuickTime to VLC. Restart undoes the changes.
Has anyone have a similar problem?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

ITunes not saving settings

Every time I start iTunes after a reboot, the "first-time" wizard pops up, and my settings are not saved. I have tried to unset the Application Data folder from Read-Only, and I have tried deleting both of the .prefs files. This seems to happen every time I install a new program or modify the registry in any way. How can I fix this problem?

Any help?

Iphoto 9.2 not keeping settings

Im running 10.7.2 and Iphoto 9.2 but my setting for displaying my pictures(Sorting By Keyword)do not seem to take.
I will close down Iphoto and leave it set but when I reopen the app it comes back as if I hadnt changed the display settings.
I have deleated the app,the settings,it seem to be a bug after 9.1 any ideas.
Thanks!

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed if you haven't tried them already:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
