Changing general preferences

Has anyone had a problem changing the General Preferences in the Home Page? When I change one of the preferences and click Apply, I receive an error message:
ORA-06550: line 7, column 2:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'UUI'
ORA-06550: line 7, column 2:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
OracleApps.UUI: SIGNATURE (parameter names) MISMATCH
VARIABLES IN FORM NOT IN PROCEDURE:
NON-DEFAULT VARIABLES IN PROCEDURE NOT IN FORM: I_10
null

Yes, I have the same problem, and trying to find an answer. Do you have a TAR open, the call is to a procedure OracleApps.UUI that appears to be able to take 10 variables but the javascript for General Preferences doesn't appear to be passing them correctly.

Script to change Safari Preferences

Hello,
I'm trying to build a script to change Safari Preferences :
"Tell Application Safari"
Set the default browser as "Safari"
End Tell
But it does not work...
I will need it to make this change on a lot of Macs from Apple Remote Desktop.
Do you know where are located the Apple Script Commands in Safari ?
Thank you
Marc

How do I reset General Preferences in Premier Elements 12?

Having used Premiere Elements 10 for a while, I now have Premiere Elements 12 on my PC, I like to set the duration for still images to 5 secs, not the default 6. I made a mistake when doing this by altering the Video Transition Default Duration in error, realised my mistake and reset that at 30 frames (is that correct for PAL?) I then altered the Still Image duration from 150 to 125, although it is showing at 150 when I access General Preferences. When I import a still image in, it says 5.00 sec under image in Project Assets but when added to the project all the images say duration 5.01 secs. I have no idea what I've done wrong and why 5.01 secs seems to be the duration.
Please could anyone tell me how to reset the General Preferences back to default settings, if this can't be done, what should I have all the General Preference settings at for PAL?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Same thing in Premiere Elements 10 and 12.
If you have a PAL project, when you open Edit Menu/Preferences/General, you will see defaults
Video Transition Default Duration = 30 frames
In the PAL project 25 frames/second, those 30 frames are equivalent to 1.20 seconds.
Audio Transition Default Duration = 1.00 seconds
In the PAL project 25 frames/second, 1.00 second is equivalent to 25 frames
(frames vs samples for audio is another story for another time)
Still Image Default Duration = 150 frames
In the PAL project 25 frames/second, so those 150 frames are equivalent to 6.00 seconds.
The above defaults will apply to all the stills that are imported AFTER the sets are made.
If you want to change the Still Image Default Duration for the project from 6.00 to 5.00 seconds, then BEFORE Still import you change
150 frames to 125 frames. That gives 5.00, not 5.01 seconds.
Examples
6.00 second duration = 150 frames
5.00 second duration = 125 frames
4.00 second duration = 100 frames
3.00 second duration = 75 frames
2.00 second duration = 50 frames
1.00 second duration = 25 frames
Again, these settings are done BEFORE and not after Still import.
If you are in the project with your Stills already on the Timeline with the Still Image Default Duration of 150 frames (6.00 seconds) as defined in preferences and you decide to change the duration of the Still from 6.00 seconds to 5.00 seconds, then you right click the still, select Time Stretch, and set the Time Stretch dialog to 5.00 seconds.
Example in Time Stretch dialog....from 00;00;06;00 to 00;00;05;00 (hours;minutes;seconds;frames).
This can be done for one Timeline Still or more than one Timeline Still at a time.
Please review and consider and then let us know if you are OK with the details.
Thank you.

How do I change my preferences to save downloads to my desktop, instead of a User's download folder?

How do I change my preferences to save downloads to my desktop, instead of an internal User's download folder? I have an older Mac Mini & recently upgraded the operating system to 10.5.8.

I presuming you're using the default Internet Browser, Safari.
Choose Safari → Preferences
Alternatively, press Command+, (comma).
Click the General tab; then click the Save Downloaded Files To pop-up menu and choose Other.
Navigate to and select the location where you want the files stored and click Select.
Click the Close button to exit Preferences.

How can I save general preferences?

Not tool specific. Things like grids, image interpolation, ect.
I want to have a workspace specifically for pixel art, and do not want to have to reset all of the general preferences when I want to create a pixel art file. Is there a way to save the general settings?
Thanks!
DC

When I saved the new Workspace (Pixel Art), and reload my normal Workspace (Dana Standard), it saved the menu locations, but not specific tool presets nor anything under the General Preferences, like Grids, etc. This is CS4, btw.
As a test, I saved the new workspace (Pixel Art) with grid settings at 8pixels/8subdivisions. I then quit photoshop. I relaunched, and the 8/8 settings remained. When I reloaded my usual Workspace (Dana Standard), the menus changed, but all of the Photoshop general preferences remained the same, including the 8/8 grid settings.
All of this means that Workspace does NOT save General Preferences.
Noel, when I save the Workspace, it only gives me three things to select and save:
Panel Locations
Keyboard Shortcuts
Menus
...none of these are part of PS General Preferences.

General preferences do not save

Hi everyone! This is driving me crazy!
I have Lion installed in my Mac BookAir, and I have started having problems since the last 2 or 3 days.
The main one is that every time I restart or turn on the computer, about 10 applications are auromatically loaded with some windows.
I tried to change the general preferences, unticking the "Restore windows when quitting...", but it looks like the new preferences are not saved. When I close and reopen the system preferences, it comes back to the original situation, with the ticked box and 10 applications, 10 documents and 10 servers selected.
I have tried to change another feature in that pane, like the highlighting color to something different of the original blue, and the same happens. Once closed and reopened again, the old settings appear again.
I have also tried to turn the SAVE APPLICATION STATE folder to only read, or only specific (application) subfolders... it worked for the specific subfolder, but it keeps on opening the 10 applications when rebooted. Very annoying.
Also that I noticed in Safari is that it has stopped keeping track of the history of sites visited.
Can Anyone tell me what to do? Is it me? Is it Lion? Help!!!!

Hi,
I have already transferred all data from the old user to the new one, with my brother's help, who is a very smart guy and a highly skilled help-desk man.
I had almost no issues with the transferring (I did transfer all the email accounts, browsers bookmarks, itunes,...).
The discussion you are directing me to... it's about freezing cursors? I guess there's a mistake... you were absolutely right saying that the fix would come creating another user account. No problems with this new user account, so far.
Thanks for everything,
Ramon

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

This is is more logical. You need to see new message in thread directly, rather than scanning to end of thread to see what is there.

No it is not possible. The newest message is attached to the message it is in reply to.

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Remotely changing System Preferences via Firewire?

Hi all,
I've got an old mac mini and a new Mac book. The trick is, I've just moved overseas and don't have a monitor for the mini any longer. I have bought a cable to connect it to my tv, but I'm afraid the tv is too old, and won't play nice with the mini! Of course I cannot afford a new monitor either!
My goal is to set up the Mini as a home server for my MacBook and a windows machine. To do so I need to adjust all of three settings. The trick is, I can't figure out how to get in to change the preferences in order to make this possible.
I can start the Mini in Target disc mode, but of course cannot install any screen sharing software, etc. remotely. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get access to the mini's System Preferences? Could I do that through Terminal? Boot camp?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
JakeOle

Hi Jake, and Welcome to the Discussions!
You could change the Sharing settings in...
Mini's /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
You'd likely have to use Terminal to reset the Permissions on it after saving it again though.
The Mini is pretty portable... know a friend with a Monitor?
