Color theme won't stay put

Hi gang,
Seems like every week or so, I open InDesign CC, and it comes up in that horrid dark user color theme. I change it to the light theme. But a week later, it starts up dark again. I'm not sure, but it might be happening after a patch. Anyone else seeing this? This is happening on my Creative Cloud subscription, Win7 version; not my Mac OS 10.8.
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in Maryland

Lots of people seeing it. It's an annoyance but not much more since none
of the other prefs are resetting.
See if this helps:

IPhone Snyc Problems - Corrupted files, icons won't stay put

My iPhone/iTunes is acting very screwy. I'll try to be brief.
For a while now every time I synced I would get an error saying three particular .mp3 files could not be copied because they were corrupted (although they play fine in iTunes). I would delete and reinstall those files in iTunes and I would still get the error message every sync. At the same time my iPhone hard drive was gradually filling up with content classified as "Other" to the point where I barely had room for a few songs and a movie before the iPhone was full.
So I did a complete wipe-and-reinstall of my iPhone. I thought it would fix things but now whenever I sync the home screen icons are acting goofy. No matter where I put the "Voice Memos" icon, after every sync it re-appears on my home screen. And the Weather icon is completely missing from the home screens, including the extra "overflow" home screens that you can only see in iTunes (although the app still shows up under a Spotlight search so I know its there). Also, now when I sync my music I get three NEW files that iTunes claims are corrupted and can't be synced--although the files play fine in iTunes. (Not the same three files as it was claiming before).
I've wasted a day and a half already trying to get my iPhone and iTunes to play nice. I'm about ready to chuck the iPhone out the window. Any help our suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tips. Rebooting doesn't work, have tried that.
Restoring the iPhone - ahhh what a lovely process apple have come up with here... Given I'm abroad, web access is transient at best via wifi. And I can't use the data connection with my chosen NZ provider as the phone won't stay unlocked!
Is there a way to restore the phone WITHOUT a web connection? Itunes insists it must download the software - which is a 250MB download on a platform which doesn't support resumable downloads (What is this, 1998!?)
I'm loath to do a hard restore (Turn Off, Hold Home Button down for 10 seconds, incase this breaks the phone even more).
I'll definately be having words with my local apple store when I get back - I've never ever had this much trouble doing something as simple as an unlock before.

Anybody ? my CC color themes won't work

When im trying to load my cc color themes it won't work.

Sarah,
It may be related to this, so hopefully it is temporary.

Color themes won't update in Illustrator

Hi,
I've had this issue for a month now, had very poor help from adobe's twitter and the specific adobe color forum. My color themes will not update in illustrator, if I click refresh I just get the message 'can't connect to the adobe color website, you may be offline or the server may be busy'.
I've tried everything, full CC reinstall, illustrator reinstall, signed in and out a million and one times, deleted preferences. Nothing will fix this one specific issue. Can someone please help me out as it's driving me insane.

Mark,
Tehere may be a number of things disturbing and confusing Illy. You may have a look at the list. Maybe Item 7) or something else under 5) can be relevant.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Solid color background won't stay as specified

I'm trying to put a gray (68c, 63m, 60y, 51k) background behind a smaller element in a clip. Every time I click okay, save and render the file, I go back and check the gray in the Solid color control tab, and it has changed to 77c, 73m, 71y and 38k. Very frustrating. Any one know what I'm doing wrong?
(I'm posting stills and video clips to a site that has a gray field I want to match. The CMYK settings I got from the stills when I set them up in Photoshop and they match the site background perfectly. That's why I'm using CMYK. It is odd that FCE lets you use CMYK, but it does, so it should work, right?)

Hi -
I believe that while you can enter a color value in CYMK, the sequence you are working on in FCE is always in RGB colorspace. Therefore the CYMK value is converted to the nearest RGB value for display as video.
Hope this helps.

Color fill won't stay within shape boundaries

When anyone looks at my site in Internet Explorer, the color boxes (shapes with color fill) spill over the shape boundaries above and below and everywhere. I thought this would be solved when I switched to web safe fonts. It isn't. How do I keep the colors within the shapes?
Thank you.

Another way to make image files of the shapes or group of shapes is to:
1 - create them on a blank page like AllAboutiWeb suggested.
2 - select them all and do a Copy.
3 - open Preview and select File->New From Clipboard menu option.
4 - in the new window with the objects do a Command+A and then a Command+C (select all and then copy).
5 - go back to iWeb and do a paste it the page you want the objects. This will create a image of the objects that IE can view. It's about the only way to get color gradients to be viewed outside of Safari.
Wyodor posted this method in another post. Works very well.

Passbook won't stay put

Ok so I got the iPhone update and I see this Passbook thing, which to be honest I'm not thrilled about, because it insists on moving back to where IT wants to be instead of where I actually want it. I have my apps arranged in order of how often I use them and don't see Passbook being a major player. But when I try to do so, the phone restarts and it's right back on a page all by itself. That's the kind of crap I expect out of Windows software, what gives?!?!

Hello,
there is a fine DEMO with it's CSS Code here: http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS2-Sticky-Footer.shtml.

The files that won't stay put...

I've had my powerbook for a good two months now, and have been having trouble keeping some of my data on my hard drive.
I'll load some songs onto iTunes, or install a program,and the next time I turn on my mac the data is gone. I have backups, thankfully, but this is getting really annoying...
I'd just like to know where all of this stuff is going, or at least how to stop it.

Hi leeski241,
Welcome to the forum.
Did you, by chance, rename your Home Directory (the Users folder that has a house picture on it)?
If you did, then follow the steps described here and all will be well again:

Mixer window won't stay put w multiple monitors/screen sets

so i have 4 monitors, 3 of which are together and 1 off in another area for other stuff. this is done w 2 standard apple video (Nvivia GT120) cards and a few monitors. the middle one has a higher res than the others but not so much to need the dual dvi.
i want to display the mixer window across all 3 of my main monitors for a full overview in that particular screenset.
the PROBLEM here is that as soon as i switch to another screenset or even select that same screen set while viewing it, the mixer window snaps to allignment w the center monitor so that the left monitor has nothing on it and the right half of the mixer window has fallen off the right screen.
it works just fine when i only spread the mixer across two monitors. but even then sometimes it alligns to the center monitor after while.
is there some setting im missing here?
thanks!

Awe crap! Sorry for the repost. I was looking at the recent activity screen n didn't see my post from earlier today so I thought it didn't get posted. My bad. Apple forum newbie mistake.
But still.. What gives?

Equalizer window won't stay put in iTunes 7.7

I upgraded a secondary drive to iTunes 7.7 and now the Equalizer window continues to return to a default position every time I start up iTunes.
This has never happened with any previous version of iTunes.
I trashed all iTunes preference files but this had no effect.
So now I have to drag the Equalizer window from behind the main iTunes window every time I start iTunes.
Running 10.5.4 on a G5.
This a nuisance so I haven't upgraded my primary drive to 7.7 yet which I would like to do.
Thanks for any advice on how to resolve this.

Dear Steve Jobs,
I have come to the conclusion theat Apple don't read the forums nor do they give a flying $%#@. This issue of the dominating I-Tunes on top every 30 $%#^ing seconds drives me insane. Probably can be fixed with a single line of code. But heck after spending a small fortune on three ipod's why would Apple give a ****. Like any big corporation once they have your money and your subject to their 50 billion long pages of terms and condition, which I am 100% sure everyone reads in fine detail right to the bottom including the clause which says we now own not only your soul but that of your neighbours and children because your clicked the tick box and moved on. Best solution is use I-tunes for moving to and from your device then revert to Winamp for playback and playlists. At least it does what it's told.
Good job Apple, you developed the ipod, iphone and now the ipad but you can't fix a simple problem like this...
When you get your **** together I may consider using it as a player again.
Ciao

Can't get color themes to load in illustrator cc

As someone has already asked earlier this month. Any help appreciated. Been 2 days.
Libraries seems to sync and sync status says all good.
It says "unable to connect to the adobe server, you're either offline or the server is busy"
Anybody ? my CC color themes won't work

OK, so Trial Period isn't the problem? Thanks for that info.
I'm working with customer supplied files and often have to reassign colors to artwork for different projects.
I can assign colors with the color panel, but complex designs containing multiple pieces and layers can take for-ev-er to reassign colors that way.
Like I said, "edit colors" works fine in CS5, so I'm trying to figure out why it's not working in CC.
Appreciate any help the forum members can provide.

Fonts won't stay

I just downloaded Thunderbird 24.5.0 three days ago and have spent the past three days researching forums, help topics, etc and cannot find a fix to fonts that won't stay put. On both my outgoing and incoming message the fonts default to something incredibly small, probably size 8. My old eyes just can't read this small size. I need a font which is size 12 (probably Times New Roman) and that will be the default for what messages I compose and for what messages I read. Any advice is greatly appreciated as this issue is a deal breaker and I truly want to keep Thunderbird. Thanks!

Sander G, yes, that block is unchecked. Thanks for your response.

Mail icon won't stay in dock

Recently my mail icon removed itself from the dock. It may be a sync issue because it started when I began using my second laptop and trying to use the iCloud/mobile me sync.
My mail wasn't on the dock in #2 when I started it. I went through and tried to make everything equal to machine 1 but some programs are not the same. The next time I started machine 1, all of the dock items were equal to 2 so I reset the dock items on 1. When I went back to 2 they had reverted again.
Now my mail icon won't stay put on 1. It was removed (mysteriously) from the dock. Now when I put it back, it disappears within a few seconds. If I open mail and then click on "keep in dock" and close mail, it disappears, too.
I have reset my sync data to replace mobile me with info from machine 1. No luck.

I seem to have resolved the issue by moving mail from the applications folder to the desktop. Then dragged mail from desktop to the dock. It seems to have stayed in the dock.
I moved mail from the desktop back to the applications folder and all seems fine now.
I am going to leave the "sync dock, sync widgets" options off.

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color

Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color after I close the tab, put the iPad in sleep mode (or whatever it's called), or when I power off the iPad.
There are certain sites I visit where it comes in very handy to be able to see which links I've already clicked on. The links will stay the "visited" color during the time I'm on the site, but later they all go back to the "unvisited" color.
Is there any way I can fix this on an iPad?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
