Changing OSX default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences

When I change the default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences within OSX, it is back at the lower level at the next listening session the following time I use iTunes on my Mac Mini. Within System Preferences there is a section that lets you "choose a device for sound output" but the only choice I have is "line-out" and under the "port" heading there is only "built-in output"--no other choices are shown. I have external speakers attached which I like to use for listening to music as I work. What is the problem? Why won't the higher volume I set remain? Also, shouldn't more than one choice be shown for sound output?

This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
So, any other suggestions?

Default Volume Setting??

I posted this message a couple weeks ago over in the Tiger forum yet no response. I think it really belongs over there since this problem is observed on all my Intel Tiger versions and on none of my PPC Tiger versions. Oh well, here it is...
I have six macs all running the latest version of Tiger.
Three G3 and G4 Macs and three duo core intel Macs. One MacBook and two Minis.
The three duo core machines are all nearly brand new - about a week old. It seems that no matter where I set the system volume control, after a reboot, the volume reverts to a default setting just over the half way point.
However, all three PPC Macs will always "remember" the preferred volume setting after any and all reboots.
This seems like a flaw in the Intel version of Tiger since only the three brand new Intel machines behave this way.
Yes, I've repaired permissions.
This is important to me since all the machines share a single set of speakers through a KVM. To set the volume to my liking and have it stay there would be nice.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

I think an issue tied into this topic is the fact that the way Intel based boards initialize during boot-up is different. Also, each model will have a slightly different BIOS/CMOS.
Most likely the Macs with Intel-based boards do not have a BIOS that supports "boot sounds" via the external jack (or Apple has not yet enabled this feature for one reason or another).
On my mini, part way through the start up process, I can hear a faint pop from my external speakers. It's my guess this is when the audio driver is finally loaded.
The G4 Cubes have audio oddities of a similar nature due to the fact that all their sound must be sent over USB. In that case, Apple created a special routine that would load the audio elements as soon as possible, otherwise those users would have had no start up sound at all.
As far as the MacBook and volume level goes (and he was a bit non-committal on the response, imo ) it's quite possible that a) their particular BIOS has been updated/fixed to support saving the volume level between reboots, or b) the version of OS X running on those MacBooks is a special revision that has a fix in itself - if they are indeed storing this setting.
A third possibility is that the volume level IS being saved but only for internal speakers (which the MacBook has).

How do I change the default of "Set code completion" to OFF??!!

Calculation Manager - 11.1.2.3.501.020
When editing a script component, by default, ENDFIX's, ENDIF's, brackets and who knows what else get added automatically, but not where I want them. I have really, really tried to get used to this but it is driving me 'round the bend! Can I, or even better, the developers, PLEASE set the default to OFF?
If you want to improve the editor, add highlighting to bracket pairs or a comment behind the ENDFIX referring to the FIX area or something like that.
Please don't "pop in" additional commands by default!

Ok, If you really want to turn it off, there is no easy way and here are the steps. The path mentioned below might be different on your computer.
Go to C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\CalcMgr0\tmp\servers\CalcMgr0\tmp\_WL_user\CALC_11.1.2.0\qxf61x\war\js\com\hyperion\calcmgr\web\common
Edit ScriptEditorEx.js and change this._codeComplete=true to this._codeComplete=false, save the file.

Edit scripteditorxx.js (there may be 3 files scripteditorFF1, scripteditorIE1, scripteditorIE9).
change _codeComplete:true, to _codeComplete:false, save all the files
Restart calc manager and delete your browser cache.

Change the default "mailto" setting in Firefox for Android

I can't work out how to change the application (or should this be program or client ? Sorry, I don't know the lingo on mobiles) used by Firefox on my android (Sony experia z2) mobile phone when I click on an email address on a webpage. Firefox currently wants to use the default android email client, whereas I want to use Gmail. I suspect that I accidentally clicked on the "use always" option and "email" once when I was asked what application I wanted to be used for this kind of resource. I know that if I were using the full web version I would follow the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-program-used-open-email-links
but I'm blowed if I can find the relevant options in the mobile version.
Any help gratefully received

You should be able to find Email as a separate items. Make sure when viewing the Apps list you're in the All list and not the Downloaded list, or you won't see the pre-installed apps.
There is a drastic option to reset ''all'' defaults. Above the Apps list, tap the "3-dot" menu, then "Reset app preferences". I haven't ever tried that myself, for obvious reasons, but have seen it suggested on forums when there are problems with setting or clearing default apps.

Cannot change calendar default reminder setting

When my calendar reminder pops up it gives me the option to end the reminder or snooze for a preiod of 5 mins. This is far too short so I went to Calendar, Options, General Options and under Actions set the Default Reminder to 15 min and saved the change.
When a reminder pops up the snooze time is still 5 minutes despite the change I made. Very annoying !
What can be done to set the reminder time to anything other than 5 mins ? Have I changed the wrong field, or is this a bug ???
Blackberry Curve 8520
v4.6.1.314 (Platform 4.2.0.135)

I would try doing a clean software reload on your BlackBerry.
Be sure to back everything up as the process listed in KB11320 will delete all your user data and reinstall the applications only.
Before restoring any data, test the Calendar. Change the settings and try making a new appointment.
It's recommended to do a selective restore of your data. KB10339 will walk you through the restore process.
Let me know how yo make out.

How do you change the Default Font setting for a HP 6310 all-in-one?

I've had this printer for a couple of years and has worked great, but just recently, the main body of text is shadowed, like a shadow font. If i print from MS word and select my font it prints great, but the default font for printing emails and anything off of the web has this shadow

It has no style so seems to be beyond the user's control.
I've tried changing it to something else and redefining the Free Form style, but it doesn't apply when you create a new comment.
The closest you'll get to what you want is to have a Style that you like and apply it to every comment when you open it, using an FKey shortcut.

Acrobat 9 Professional: changing the default save setting as version 5 and later

The situation: We are using Acrobat 9 Professional. We have PDF files with version that was save as 5.0 or later. (We need to save it as 5.0 because it allows our PDF publications to be shown on mobile devices that don't support newer versions).
The problem:
Sometimes we need to go back to our PDF to change the front cover. However after clicking on save, Acrobat 9 reverts it to the latest version making our publications unreadable for mobile devices.
Options we have considered:
Using the save as optimized feature. This is not convenient since the file is about 2000 pages and using that feature will require it to rastersize and flattend the image on every page. It takes too long.
I am currently, planning to go back to Acrobat 8 Professional, but user would like to keep both version.
The question: Is there another way to set Acrobat 9 to save PDF as the original version it was created (that at least doesn't take that much time)?
Thank you in advance!

I mark this as an assumed answer by mistake. Still looking for an answer. I do not wish to install two versions of Acrobat. (This will be my last resort, if I don't have any other options) I try it also with Acrobat X professional and it seems that it automatically saves it to a newer version. So any assistance is greatly appreciated.

How do I change the default program setting when I download a file. Numbers keeps opening the file intended for Quicken.

For example; Numbers keeps opening downloaded files intended for Quicken. I can change the program to open the download, but I can't find a way to make the change be the default.

In Finder locate a file you're having trouble with, highlight the file and type Command I (I as in Ivan). In the box called Open With choose the app you want to use to open the file with. Right below that you will see Use this apps to open all documents like this one then click the button right below that calledChange All.

Is there a way to change the default export setting in adobe premier pro cs6?

Every time I do an Export in Premiere CS6 (lots of them daily!), Export Settings open as AVI.

Any solution, please?...
Thanks!

You can create an action.
Record the action then go to file export select jpeg and then the quality etc and then exort and stop recording the action give it a keyboard shortcut.

How do i change the default character set?

I'm from Brazil, and here we have special characters like "�", "�", "�", etc.
I need the JVM to understand that from the database and print it correctly on my page (I'm using servlets).
How do i do that?
thanks to all.

java works just fine with Brazilian characters....I
should know I developed software for a brazilian
company for the last 5 years using java.
Ok. I believe you do. I just wanna know how. i'm using servlets. So, to print out the page, i use.
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("some_text");
out.println(resultset.getString("some_field"));
If "some_text" contains special characters, they are printed correctly. No problem about that.
the problem is when the string from the database/resultset has special characters. Those aren't printed correctly. And that's what i want to fix.
Any suggestions?

What happened to the default folder set (for your own libraries) in Edit/Preferences, in Adobe Photoshop CC?

Once again I come to my computer, and it's not the way I left it. While I love cloud, I think in some way, the concept of Customer Service i.e. Providing a Service to a Customer "Set Service, for a Set Price" has lost the value of "service"
I find it extremely disheartening, to always be dealing with changes Adobe makes, it costs me an exorbitant amount of time. I don't work with a team, so it's just me. And every other week, there is some changes, when my 3D quite working in CS6 I had no forewarning, just woke up one morning and "Poof" no more 3D, the software turned off the feature in my CS6, however, it did work in CC.
The things I find most disheartening
features quit working with NO PRIOR WARNING.
Plug-ins, libraries what, now have to be stored in the cloud in order for MY system to automatically see them?
Again No Default Libraries on our machines ( unless you think I'm going to store 2 Terabytes of libraries on the cloud and/or in my AppData Directory *not* Nothing but system/program files themselves go on my Primary drive, everything else is on external drives, this is a security issue and one I'm not about to change, nor should anyone have to change it, since it is a *best practices* standard.
I still can't access items in (for instance: Color Themes created on Kuler, are available on my computer, but not for me to put them into a library on the cloud. I have over 100 color themes there I have created, on my Creative Cloud account, why can they not be imported or drag/drop into the library designated for it. When I log into my Cloud Account on My iPad it is the same cloud account as on my PC, yet it doesn't even see my previously created color scheme's? Why? Does anyone have any ideas?
I use a font manager for Windows called High-Logic, a Font Manager, Creator and a Scanner for Hand Writing Fonts Great Program, I've had it for over a year, while there is no plugin for Photoshop there is for In-Design and for Photoshop, I use the Font Manager on my computer to activate the font I want and it shows up in the Character Tool Box automatically. Yet, just in the last week, every time I try and create something in Photoshop, I'm fine, until I go to use a font, at which time, my working project goes "dark" ( no longer visible) until I click on another tool in Photoshop.
I cannot keep having these issues, it's way too time consuming, it's exorbitantly time consumer attempting to get a response to questions in the forums (no one's fault, it's just the nature of the forums themselves)
The true cost of a product is not only in it's subscription based fee, but also includes the time it takes to keep up with product changes, additional training, the cost of delivery (cable connections/provider). So far since the first of the year I have logged over 100 hours to either 'fix something that quit working with no notice', time spent re-reading documentation seeking a solution, time spent perusing the forums for a solutions, or posting a question, time spent in additional training/books, etc."
While I understand I'm relatively new, as I had a 5 years off from working, I went from Macromedia Suite 8 to CS5.5 -full suite (heck-of a learning curve)
Yet, I cannot believe I am the only person having these issues, otherwise the forums wouldn't be so full.
I did try limiting the permissions to not allow Adobe to update the software automatically, however, the permissions I wrote, were in fact re-written by adobe's cloud synchronization, Which I did find disturbing on a few levels. None of which I'll go into, but it needed to be mentioned that *yes, I tried that too*.
*I ended up re-configuring my machine AGAIN* and deleting CS6 altogether, The performance change after I deleted CS6, was/is the difference and why I am still with my cloud membership.
**I have reconfigured my machine numerous times, to facilitate the cloud, I am on a PC, Adobe and Microsoft Development Environments do not play well together, I ended up removing them altogether and creating a vm for them and basically all my development work. And have twice since reconfigured it for various reasons.

Hi
One of the reasons that Edge fonts and web fonts are though to be preferable to the old font stacks was because of Android tablets/smartphones only having the Droid font family available, (Android 4.3 added the Roboto font family also).
This meant that Android device users defaulted to the 'Droid' font or a user installed font. The default font if the user had installed a custom font and set it as default, could be anything, (even a comic script font) thus possibly destroying your text and/or layout completely.
If you are not using an Edge font or a downloadable font do not forget to set the last three fonts in your font stack to -
'...., Roboto variant, Droid variant, default font'

Oracle Inventory: How to change default category set of items

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to change the default category set of functional area inventory in oracle as we are importing new items into inventory whihc need to be assigned to a new default category set.There is an existing default categpory set for this area.
As far as i understand once a default category has been set up and an item has been defined, the only way to change the default category set for a given functional area is to update all items with the new default category set before updating the default category set/functional area relationship.
How exactly do we update the defaul category set for an existing item and change it to a new one. Since we have close to 15K items what is the best way to do this.Is there ay API available?
Thanks in Advance
AM

Hi Helios,
Thanks a lot for your response
The fix given in this document is to allign all the exisitng items to a category set (purchasing in this case). This is exactly what my doubt is. How to assign 15k items to a different category set. If i am able to allign these items i can change the default category of the functional area.
Thnaks

PS: i am using 11.5.10.2

Change default character set of JVM

Is there a way to change the default character set of JVM to say, UTF-8?
System.out.println("Default Character Set: " + new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()).getEncoding());
System.out.println("File Encoding: " + System.getProperty("file.encoding")); On Windows
==========
Default Character Set: Cp1252
File Encoding: Cp1252
On Linux
========
Default Character Set: ASCII
File Encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
I would like to save on the effort of changing the many lines of code that looks like
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out)); to
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8")); Thanks

Try this:
-Dfile.encoding=utf-8
as vm argument.

Want to change default border setting for inserted subreports

hi -- When I insert a subreport into a main report, its default borders (all 4) are set to single. I want them all to be
None... and I've read that the default is None. But that's not what I'm getting.
How can I change the default border setting / restore it to what it's supposed to be?
Thanks,
Carol

This has been a development request of mine for years. Currently there is no way to default the borders to None.

[Cinnamon] Default volume level

So the default volume in Cinnamon seems to be set to max (but muted), even if it was a different level in my previous session. So when I forget about this and unmute, I am slowly driving myself up the wall.
How can I change the default volume in Cinnamon?
Last edited by abstracted (2014-08-26 05:00:24)

Try changing the state of any auto-mute settings in alsamixer. If it is enabled, disable it or vice versa. I had a problem identical to that -- in addition, the headset was not muted. if you plugged in a headset, it would mute the headset and unmute the speakers.
Edit: Note that this was a general issue -- not one specific to Cinnamon (which I do not use)
