Brightness resets to lowest setting after reboot.

This has only just started happening since the 10.5.1 update. Every time I boot up my iMac, the brightness setting is turned all the way down. Is there a fix for this?

See if the response in this thread helps:

If not, then repair permissions & restart. Hopefully, that should do the trick.

Brightness resets to highest setting after restart...

I'm a mac noob and absolutely love my 24" iMac. One thing I've noticed is that the brightness will reset to the maximum setting after a restart. I've seen other posts about the brightness reset to the lowest setting, but has anyone experienced a reset to the maximum setting? I calibrate the monitor with the Monaco Optix XR and the icc profile doesn't change, just the brightness setting.

Hello Mike
Welcome to Discussions
If you are using a wired keyboard and some others you can use the F14 & F15 keys to adjust display brightness, try this it will save you time not having to open display preferences.
Another option is to just let iMac sleep. I sleep mine for days at a time, only shutting down when not using for days or bad electrical storms.
Hope this will help

Volume resets to maximum setting after iPod wakes up from PAUSE

I recently upgraded my 60GB iPod to v1.2 software with iTunes 7 on my Win XP Professional PC. Every time since the v1.2 IPod software update, if the iPod is placed on PAUSE and turns off, the volume is reset to its maximum setting when PLAY resumes.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks.

This happens to me when I use the radio adapter. This was happening before I updated the software.

BlackBerry Q5 reset to factory setting after upgrade

This Topic has been Moved for correct placement

Hello,
Depending on how you performed this update, that may be expected behavior. Or, something may have gone wrong during the update. With this result, I'd recommend an OS reload and then restore from your most recent backup (which, of course, you take regularly, right?).
Good luck!

IMacs Display Brightness Resets Overnight

I have 2 iMacs, one G5 and one Intel, They have both developed a problem where the display brighness resets to the lowest setting after it has been turned off and left overnight. Otherwise the brightness stays the same all day. One is running 10.3 and the other 10.4. PRam reset, permissions and adjustments to the power saver settings did nothing.
Any Ideas

My brand new iMac G5 is now doing this, exactly as you describe. I used to have an iMac G4 800mhz that did this also. Never could find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

T520 Ultranav buttons reset to default after reboot

I love the touchpad and make extensive use of its capabilities. Nearly half of the programmable functions were reinitialized to factory default after reboot when I first bought my t520. Most of the problems were resolved little by little with subsequent software releases. The only problem that has not been resolved is the reinitialization of the left and right buttons. I have set them up to execute pre-recorded keystrokes. After I reboot, the left and right buttons are reset to left and right clicks respectively. Interestingly, the keystroke sequences are retained. I just have to highlight the "Record and play....." text and apply the change. It's livable but it's annoying. My drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, computer is clean as I am very selective as to what I install. Anyone else have initialization problems like this?

go to the folder /library/preferences/audio and delete everything in it. then restart and see if sound preferences hold from now on.
note: that's the library at the top level of the drive, not in your home directory.

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?)

Oh I've found it meanwhile! The is a 2nd post! So never mind this one! I think lawyerhusain understood he has to let Apple know, if he wants them to know and the technical thing will continue with the 2nd post!

IMac Brightness forgets setting after shut down

Hi, I have an old iMac (not sure what year but it's the white model 24").
Everytime I log in, the brightness setting is always at the lowest setting. At the minute I'm having to change it everytime I go on my mac.
The iMac is running OS X 10.5.8 if that helps at all?
Please help, I've searched for the issue have found nothing so far

Someone had posted this link on another thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=881&start=135
So I'm going to try that when I get home. Having Googled and searched these forums it seems I'm not the only one with fan problems, although there seem to be lots of varying issues. I'm now aware that shutting down my computer every night is not necessarily a good thing, but some threads I've read say that the diagnostics that Macs perform in the wee small hours don't get done if the computer is sleeping, either. So what is best? Just leave it turned on? I worry about leaving non-essential electric appliances on all night.
Any help would still be appreciated! Thanks.

After reboot PC sets speakers to 2

I've setup my 5. speakers and everything works great! After reboot, it's back to 2. and I have to change the settings manually. Why is it not saving my setup?

Joachim_Joe wrote:
I turned off sync, rebooted and it stayed on 5., both in the control panel and in the SB Li've Speaker setting. Great. Weird, guess the sync function does not sync
Anyone else have this problem?
I think this is quite old problem for CT software (I had this w/ SB Li've! Value).
But, if it still gives you grey hair and no other resolution can be found, then, you can autorun the script found from
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=69900
Set script to work the way it sets speaker mode to 5. and add a link to the script into startup folder.

SG200-08 VLAN-trunk setting ignored after reboot

Hi all,
The ports on my SG200-08 are configured as follows:
Port 1; VLAN 1+4; trunk
Port 2; VLAN 4; access
Port3-8; VLAN 1; access
The config for Port 1 looks as follows: "switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,4". The problem I want to point out here arises right after rebooting the switch; in the running config, the aforementioned line is now present as "switchport trunk allowed vlan add 4", i.e., VLAN 1 is missing in the trunk. The problem is reproducible every time I reboot the switch. At this moment, I assume it to be a bug in the firmware. This is a problem for me, since the switch's management VLAN is 1 and it gets its IP address (DHCP) over VLAN 1 as well.
I have attached my startup config to this thread, as well as the running config exported right after reboot. In both of them, I've sanitized the rows on user accounts.
Does anyone recognize this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hi chrebert,
Thanks for your answer. You're right in concluding the VLAN 1 is my default VLAN. The problem is that the switch should contact my DHCP server over VLAN 1 and since the traffic on port 1 is not tagged, the traffic DHCP request will never reach my DHCP server. As a consequence, the switch always ends up with its factory default IP address (192.168.1.254) instead of the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. And yes, that's a problem
So to summarize, when I configure tagged access for VLAN 1 on port 1 and write this to the startup config, it is indeed present in the startup config afterwards. However, the switch ignores this upon reboot, causing VLAN 1 on port 1 to feature untagged access.
By the way, I completely set up the switch from scratch after restoring the config to factory defaults. It would be great if you could try to reproduce the issue and hopefully come with a fix. In case you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

W8-Display too bright on lowest level after upgrade to windows 8 (64bit)

Display is too bright on lowest level after upgrade to windows 8 (64bit)
Hello,
does anyone know how to get the old drivers for w7 to work?
or is there another solution?
My installed driver:
Mobile Intel series 4 express chipset family MS corp. -WDDM 1.1
8.15.10.2702
even on cloudy day it hurts my eyes... (my temp solution is dimScreen app- black filter on top of all windows)
Fn+Home/End
funny thing is that the scale which shows on top left corner has like 11 steps but only top 8 works
also the old bottom page brightness scale (15 steps) disappeared.
background info:
X301-2776 so IMO it is GM45
i had w7pro i i have over installed it with w8pro both 64
thanks ahead for any ideas

success
this makes the trick - old drivers for win vista 64bit
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7xd649ww.exe
and for 32-bit
