Bootcamp Trackpad Settings Reset on Reboot

I have a 15in MacBook Pro running Vista and every time I start the computer I have to go back into the Bootcamp trackpad settings and turn on "tap to click" and "2 finger tap to right click". It never seems to remember these settings.
Does anybody have any idea what's causing this?

same here. never remembers settings and f keys dont trigger brightness or volume etc...

When dual-booting with Windows 7, Mac OSX time settings reset every reboot.

I have recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro via BootCamp (Running Mavericks BTW). Everything runs grean and have not experienced any problems on the Windows side, but I have a problem with Mac OSX now. When I am using Windows 7, and I reboot into Mac OSX, I find that my time settings are wrong. It seems like my time zone has changed, because the date is correct, as well as the minutes, but the hour is always wrong. When I go to Date & Time in System Preferences, and my time zone is correct, but I still have to chage the hour in the time. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that.
Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two. Apple's own Boot Camp drivers for Windows are supposed to fix this problem, though some users have noticed that it still happens even with the drivers installed, and some Linux users are left out in the cold. Furthermore, if you have a Hackintosh, you can't install the Boot Camp drivers, so you'll need to find another way around the problem.
To fix it, just hit Start and type regedit.exe in the search box. Hit Enter and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal, then double click on it and give it a value of 1.
Lastly, reboot into OS X, then reboot back into Windows. You should now notice that your clock actually displays the correct time.

OSX 10.4.8-mouse and trackpad settings reset

Another problem after the 10.4.8 update: whenever I plug in my mouse (Razer Diamondback) or modify the mouse driver settings, the trackpad and mouse tracking speeds reset to the lowest values. I've repaired disk permissions. Anything I can do?
(I know that Razer gaming mice typically do not have Mac drivers, but the Mac driver for the Razer Pro is exactly the same thing)

Hi there,
I am having the same problem with my Powerbook G4. Since last update of OS, them ouse settings are lost all the time I reboot (normal Apple wireless mouse). I checked and I can not do all of the other changes in the other properties and also can not change system password. Nothing gets saved. When I try to run theupdater again I get message that the file can not be mounted.
VERY BAD. Could not find a solution yet

Calendar Settings reset after reboot

Hi,
Could anybody please check if you have the same issue on your phone?
Sony Calendar resets settings after reboot.
For example, if I set "Week starts on" = "Monday" and reboot the phone, this settings will be back to "Sunday" (which is the default).
I am now running Calendar 20.0.A.2.5, but I believe this bug was there before as well (even on my old Xperia V, I believe)
P.S. I found this topic, but either I didn't understand the solution correctly or it doesn't work for me... I tried to disable the Calendar app, but it didn't help in any way...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I will forward this internally for further investigation. I will update you as soon as i have more information.
But as a possible workaround, i suspect you have selected a country/region under Settings -> Language & input -> Language where the week normally is set to start on Sunday like English US? If you are in the Netherlands but want the phone on english you could try setting it to English UK instead to avoid this until i have more information.

Personal settings resetting on reboot

I've had my macbook for about a month now, and for the past couple weeks everytime I reboot some sort of setting would get reset to default. At first it was my firefox homepage, then my adium settings, then my dock. All of which, while annoying, weren't really big deals.
But now everytime I restart my parallels virtual drives are corrupting. This is a critical problem for me since this is my work computer and half of my apps are run on windows, half on mac. This has happened the past 3 days I've come into work, and each day I've had to uninstall/reinstall parallels, reinstall windows xp, and reinstall all my apps... not fun and takes me out of working capability for 2 hours or so.
Any idea why this might be happening? We are upgrading to leopard soon, but thats a company decision, not mine.
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forums!

System Preferences settings reset on reboot.

I have a Mac Pro that keeps loosing is System Preferences. I change the mouse settings and as soon as the machine is rebooted, settings go back to default. I've seen other posts similar to this but no one has had a solution.

Hello afloc,
You will have to reset your System Preferences to do this but it might help.
Locate this file: com.apple.systempreferences.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences
Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
Now try your mouse...

Hot Corner Settings reset after reboot

Hi,
my settings for the hot corners are reset to default (that is nothing) every time I reboot my mac. I have no idea why this is so. Any suggestions?
Thx
JaTo

OOPS! MY MISTAKE, SORRY!
I think those are stored in the com.apple.dock.plist file in Preferences. If you trash it you will lose your Dock settings also. Worth a try though.
Actually moving it to the desktop is a better idea. Then if it is not a solution you can always move your original dock file back and relogin.
There is also a possibility the info is stored in com.apple.finder.plist but I am not sure.

Why are trackpad settings resetting at each boot?

Trackpad resets itself after each boot. Does anyone know why and what can be done to fix this? Thanks.

You might try this one fix, which is to reset the non-volatile memory, or NVRAM using open firmware.
To boot into open firmware, hold down the cmd-option-O-F key combination at power on until you get a white terminal screen with dark lettering. Type the following three commands:
*reset-nvram <cr>*
*set-defaults <cr>*
*reset-all <cr>*
The last command will cause a reboot. It may do some good, it may not.
If it doesn't help things out, then the next thing to look at would be the backup battery. Unfortunately, Panasonic quit making the 3.7 volt CGL3032 six years ago, which is a problem. You can get pulled battery/circuit board assemblies, but unless the battery has been replaced with something newer, it's likely going to be weak or non working.
Adventuresome folks can get [a replacement battery|http://www.ifixit.com/PowerBook-Parts/PowerBook-G4-PRAM-Battery/IF154-1 22], which requires some soldering skill, to replace the original.

10.6.7 - Audio Settings Reset after reboot & plist missing

Hey all,
I have a mac pro and I'm having an odd issue similar to http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10412664-263.html.
I set my settings on the sound preferences. Once I reboot the sound setting resets. It seems to be a preferences issue and as the article states its' located here:
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > Audio
The files will be:
com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Unfortunately, I'm unable to locate these files for whatever reason they are long longer on
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > Audio or <home directory> Library > Preferences > Audio.
I thought it was find i'll just move it from the new macbook pro with 10.6.7 but that computer also doesn't have these files anymore.
Question:
Where are these files

On my computer, those 2 plist files are right where you indicated. Are you sure you looked in the right place? Did you use spotlight to search?

Settings reset after reboot of device

Well, I found out today that when I reboot my device the normal way (volume down and sleep/wake), my device totally reverts it's settings. This is includes music settings, to my wallpaper, to accessibility.
What's interesting is it's stuck on my settings I had prior to the 1.1 update..so it has sound check on, the zen sand wallpaper I chose, the equalizer I chose, everything.
Anyone else get this or is this another bug?

You would have to drag them back onto the nano from your library. If you have tracks you got from other libraries, you would have to get access to those libraries again to drag them over.

Yosemite Notification Settings Reset After Reboot

I searched this issue and couldn't find a similar question. This makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong. On each of my five computers running Yosemite (brand new and older Macs) after I reboot, all of my preferences for the Notification center go back to default settings. So if I say Facebook should not be in the Notification center and I deselect any banners or alerts, etc., as soon as I reboot, BAM! Facebook is right back there in the Notification center notifying me like there's no tomorrow. This is mostly annoying (unlike my wifi issues!!!), but I'm pretty sure the settings should stay put.
Any thoughts?

Hi there JAS_66,
It looks like the OS X 10.10.1 update addresses this issue. Take a look at the release notes below for more information.

MSI Control center windows 8.1 fan settings reset after reboot.

I wanted to see if anyone has any information about this. I have a z77a-gd65 motherboard running windows 8.1 and I have saved profiles for cpu fan and sys1/sys2 fans. After reboot the fan curves get reset to factoy defaults.
I didn't have this problem with windows 7 and am running the latest version of Control Center.
Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

I actually did find a response from MSI in a random query.
They said, 'CC is used for temporary changes, use the bios'.
Which I can see the validity of that statement, but at the same time, what if you want to adjust things to a finer degree than the bios and want it applied after restart?
I know you can save and load individual pages of the Command Center, but still..
I do find it VERY irritating I can't set fan speeds lower than 50% for the System Fans. (or is there a way to do this?)

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%.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
