Artwork and Video Viewer Settings Won't Stick

In my latest version of iTunes (9.0.2), the artwork and video viewer (lower left corner of screen) has the usual two settings: "Now Playing" and "Selected Item". I usually select "Now Playing", and in prior versions, the app would remember that choice. Now, after the latest version update, it always defaults to "Selected Item" upon startup. Any reason why? Can I make it so the last selected settings stays there after I close the program, as it did before? Or is this a bug issue? Anyone else having this problem?

New member: My Settings won't stick; I don't know how to create a signature

My Settings won't stick; I don't know how to create a signature
How can I correct these two difficulties please?

Sorry, not clear. I meant "My Settings" (top right hand corner of FCE Discussions window), not in FCE itself. The time zone setting is accepted but the next time I look it has reverted to USA GMT-8 hours, and some other settings are similarly affected
and by "signature" I meant some text that always appears at the bottom of Discussions messages, saying somethink like "Mac Pro 2.0 GHz, FCE 3.5" etc. I can't see a place to specify that.
(But now I see something has appeared!)
Thanks.

Photo Album app and Video viewing crashes the whole phone

Hi.
Not sure whether there is already another forum for this?
I am running android 4.3.
I have found that when I go into my photo album and scroll right the way down to the bottom of the page, the pictures stop showing a thumbnail and instead all I am shown are blacked out squares. When I then scroll to the top of the page the thumbnails that were previously there then turn black too. This then has the effect of crashing the whole phone. What I mean by this is that it becomes unresponsive, the back and home buttons do not work and I am then shown a barrage of "Album is not working" or "Google+ is not working" or "system is not working" messages..
This is also the case when I am attempting to view videos. The phone will play some videos but then all of a sudden it will begin to become unresponsive in the same way as I have mentioned before.
When the phone has become unresponsive, the screen times out and I am unable to access my phone again for a good few minutes. When I can eventually access the phone, I have found the same sort of messages and unresponsiveness will occur again when I enter these apps or try to view videos through the movies app or another video viewing app and I am forced to restart the phone.
The issue with album app occurs every time I try to access the photos at the very bottom of the page. The issue with the videos appears to be more temperamental and will occur every so often and through either the movies app or when viewing videos through alternate sources such as facebook.
I have only recently bought the Z1 and I have to say I am incredibly disappointed by the device so far!
Can anyone offer any sort of guidance or tips on what I should do?
Thanks!

Mail settings won't stick, how to fix?

The column settings in Mail suddenly won't stick. Probably a corrupt preference? What's the best way to deal with the problem?
Thanks,
iHope

Well, in theory, if we backup the whole shmeer, we can at least go back to where we are now...
Quit Mail. First I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
Try dragging this file to the desktop in case we need to put it back later...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
(May or may not require you to setup your account(s) again.)
Then In your home folder, try moving this +folder & file+ to the Desktop then reboot...
First, Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these +folder & file+ to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
These too...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/<[email protected]>/.mboxCache.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.mboxCache.plist
Reboot.

Message font settings won't stick

iChat 3.1 (v417)
Font selection (face and size) for messages is not sticking. Change font in preferences, the font will change for the current message for the active chat window only. Future messages are back to old font and size.
Open ichat.plist and change the font there. iChat still does not recognize this.
Changes to font and size for INCOMING messages are being set and retained properly.
I've used Cocktail to clear all the user font caches, restarted, etc.
Any other suggestions to clear this up?
Thanks!

Ralph,
Thanks again for your reply.
They are supposed to editable with Property List
Editor but like you I have found this does not always
work.
The reason I tried that was to see if there was some bug in iChat that meant that it wasn't writing your changes properly. The change was in the plist file, but iChat wasn't respecting it.
After I cleared all the font caches and restarted the Mac, iChat did respect the preference. I had previously tried just quitting and launching iChat, and logging out and back in to my account. Neither of those things was enough.
Even though I found a solution, I still consider there to be a bug in iChat or OS X.
It is unusual to get a post that says "Your answer
solved my problem but am still not happy."
This new rating system doesn't quite account for all possibilities, does it? I wanted to acknowledge that you'd helped!
Thanks again,
Steve

Homepage, Toolbar, and Default browser settings won't stay after logging out and then back in.

We have Firefox ESR 17.0.7. Our Enterprise uses Firefox as our default. We are trying to figure out why we keep some settings and lose other settings. Upon logging out we lose settings like Home Page, Toolbar changes and making Firefox the default browser. We can set them but overnight the setting will not exist anymore. We have tried creating a new profile using the profile manager and even pointing the profile folder to a different location to see if that helps. But to no avail.

You probably do not use CCleaner, but if you do, or if you use another "clean up" tool that runs at Windows launch or shutdown, make sure to create an exception for the Firefox Profiles folder.

View options won't stick

I work for radio and use iTunes to rate tracks for broadcast. Every time I pop in a new CD, I have to select View > View Options > My rating... Is there a way to make this the default view or to make this columns stick?
Thanks a zillion

The problem is only on SOME folders, like the Utilities one. Other keep the settings just fine!
did you run the commands I gave you? you can reset only the particular folders but then you need to delete just the .DS_store files for those folders. all finder windows should be closed and this has to be done from terminal (or using Onyx). for the Utilities folder it would be
rm /Applications/Utilities/.DS_Store
killall Finder
Yes, I deleted the DS-Store file from the Utilities folder and the plist and killed Finder.
was the folder closed when you did it? that's important. if it was and this is still happening then I don't know what's going on.
I then thick the option to always show in icon view resize the window. When I kill the Finder the window is at its smaller default size. When I logout or restart the window opens in list view. The folder is bewitched!

[SOLVED] NVIDIA X Settings won't "stick"

I've got kind of a weird problem that I've been looking for a solution to but I haven't yet been able to find any.
I'm running Warcraft III through Wine on a widescreen monitor. Those that have played know it doesn't support widescreen resolutions (apparently for "balancing reasons") and to make it look the best I'd like to use aspect ratio scaling so that it just chops the left and right edges off of the screen so that it will display in 4:3.
I set that option in the NVIDIA utility, and it works until the X server is restarted. If I try to launch Warcraft III after restarting X, it will take up the whole screen and look stretched out and ugly.
Apparently, though, just starting the configuration utility is enough to reapply the settings. The screen flickers, and the utility comes up. Then if I boot Warcraft, everything works as I would expect. The flickering that occurs when the configuration program boots up also only happens once until X is restarted.
Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to think that NV was smart enough to apply the settings to X on boot, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Has anybody encountered this problem before and, if so, have there been any elegant soluions?

As you've noticed, nvidia-settings apply when you ask them to, which is when you run the program. Where's it supposed to stick the settings "on boot?" In your gnome session manager? KDE? .xinitrc? Makes quite a bit more sense to leave it be and let us decide.
That said, they could be a bit more forthcoming about what to put in any of the above if you want the settings to take effect.
nvidia-settings -l
That's an L for 'load settings from config file and don't start the gtk interface'
An interesting note is that, since this loads everything from the config file, you can't actually save overclocking settings this way. This is because they won't save from the gtk interface, unlike everything else.
Overclocking example:
nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=495,1113
Stick an extra -l in there to do both.

LR2 - Auto Import develop settings won't stick.

As the subject says, in LR2 changes made to the develop settings preference in the auto import settings dialogue do not stick. I can select a different develop preset, but after closing the settings dialogue, new images import with the original preset. If I open the settings window again, the develop settings preference has been reset to their original state.
I've tried two computers and have the same result on both. Trashing prefs does nothing, but creating a new catalog seems to reset the auto import prefs dialogue, but whatever develop settings I select becomes fixed and unchangeable.
I use LR's auto import feature to work tethered with my MF digital setup on every project - it is crucial to my current workflow. This bug is small, but significant and will probably have me going back to V1 until I can find a fix so any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
(oh yeah, both systems are intel macs -- an iMac and a macbook pro -- and are up to date running osX 10.5.4)

Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
"When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version, a line in the preset was created: ProcessVersion = "5.7". When I cut and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all active when I used them."
I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

WRT54G v2 Router settings won't stick.

I recently replaced my WRT54G v2 with a new router because it on occasion it wouldn't connect to my DSL modem. However I still want to do some things with the old router, but I can no longer get any settings to stick. Whenever I change a setting and hit apply, I get a blank page (instead of the usual "Settings are saved" message) and nothing I change stays. I've tried doing a hard reset to no avail. I've also tried upgrading the firmware but instead of it working I now get a "The connection was reset while the page was loading." message from Firefox every time it begins to upgrade.
Ans suggestions how to fix this?

try upgrading the firmware on the wrt54g v2 .. click this link for more info

Bridge CS4: Workspace settings won't stick?

I saved a Workspace based on the standard Light Table, but with larger thumbnails. The saved Workspace shows up on the list of Workspaces near the top of the screen, and I can click on it to select it. However, when I switch to it from another Workspace, the thumbnail size is not what I originally saved (it usually gets smaller, but not always to the same smaller size...) How do I make the modified thumbnail size stick?
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz

Thanks!

You are right, for some reason you can not alter the preset Workspaces that came by default.
Create your own workspace starting from the default essentials. Right Click on each tab you want to remove and choose close.
Drag the content panel to the size you want and choose the size of the thumbnails. Then choose new Workspace from the drop down menu and rename the new work space. You could also choose for the other options about location and sort order which can be very useful.

It says that my iCloud storage is used up, so now my phone won't play videos. I tried to go to iCloud manage to delete the photos and videos but it won't let me

I would like to delete what I have stored on iCloud so I can see video again on my phone.

Notifications settings won't stick?!?

I have set notifications to manual sort: http://i51.tinypic.com/xkps29.jpg however, if I move the stock widget to the bottom of the "in notifications center", and save the setting: http://i51.tinypic.com/ejz9tl.jpg when I open the notifications, the stock widget is at the top?!? When I go back to check the settings, the stock widget, has moved back UP IN THE LIST?!?: http://i55.tinypic.com/1zbxrip.jpg Any have any idea what I'm doing wrong. I'd like to have the stock ticker, at the bottom of the notifications screen.

I'm having the same issue but my stock widget is doing the exact opposite - I want it under weather at the top and each time I move it up, it drops back down to somewhere in the middle of the pack.

IPhoto '08: Adjust settings won't stick!

I was editing an image in iPhoto '08 and came up with the following image while 'Edit' was invoked:
http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/8071/iphoto001jx5.jpg
When I clicked on the 'Done' button, this was the result you saw in the viewing pane without 'Edit' invoked:
http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/7033/iphoto002zm1.jpg
Has anyone here that uses iPhoto run across this? This image I worked upon is a duplicate of the original. The changes I made with the Adjust tool were: Exposure 0.68; Contrast -100; Highlights 12.0; Shadows 17.0. I am using iPhoto 7.1.3 and running OS 10.4.11.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ITunes 10.5.1 Custom mp3 settings won't stick

I've always used these custom mp3 import settings: 320 kbps, VBR Highest Quality. Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.1 my settings revert to the default 160 kbps no matter how many times I change them. I am converting these for radio broadcast and want the highest quality I can get. This has to be a bug.

Possibly the airport card in the G4 does not support WPA2. So you need to change security to a lessor common denominator. Try WPA.
