Colour option keeps changing back to grey scale

I imported a photo into illustrator CC and I then live traced it and expanded it. When I select it the colour options are grey scale. I can change the option but if I click off the image the options go back to grey scale. The doc colour set up is cmyk. How do I get it to stay on a different option without having to keep switch it all the time?

Step 1 - import colour photo
Step 2 - change colour options and colour mode to cmyk
Step 3 - Image trace default
Step 4 - expand
Step 5 - direct select parts of expanded image to change the colours
Step 6 - open colour options menu and see that it is grey scale
Step 7 - change it again to cmyk and choose a colour
Step 8 - direct select new part of expanded image
Step 9 - goto colour options again which has changed back to grey scale
Step 10 - change again to cmyk and pick a colour
Maybe this is normal behaviour?? But seems really cumbersome to have to keep on changing it for everything I select. I just want it to stay on cmyk not revert to what is selected.

Why do the Search Engine options keep changing back?

Hi, I have a large collection of search engines, which I keep well organized with the addon Organize Search Engines.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/organize-search-engines/
I needed to make changes to many of the search engines I've added to make them work. i.e. I had to go to Manage Search Engines, right-click on the relevant engine and choose properties to change its options (just right-clicking "Add To Search Bar" on a search box won't work on a lot of web sites unless you modify the options/settings).
Anyway, the problem seems to be that after a few firefox restarts, the modified search engines seem to revert to their default values. Confusingly, it doesn't happen to all of them. Just ones I've recently added.
I've toggled the Automatically Update Search Engines in Firefox's Advanced options or the Show Search suggestions in Manage Search Engines.
I've tried re-installing firefox and putting in the new profile and re-installing the addons I use individually (although I had to copy over the extensions folder to my new profile). It didn't seem to help.
Help a brother out.

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

Default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox

Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?

Environment fonts keep changing back to default

In order for my UIs to look good on all my deployed systems (usually windows xp or 7) I change all the environmental fonts (Tools>Options>Environmental>Fonts) to Tahoma (and, of course, set the init file to use tahoma for all these fonts). Lately I've been noticing that every once in a while I will open LabVIEW and the fonts will be changed back to their defaults. Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have a good work around? It is frustrating because I usually don't notice this has happened until I've finished aligning multiple elements and then realize I have to change the font and align them again.
Note: I'm developing in LabVIEW 2012 on a Windows 7 pc.

Hey Gollum,
I found what seems to be causing your issue. There is a bug in LabVIEW 2010 and later that causes custom font tokens to be overwritten when any other change occurs in the LabVIEW.ini file. The Corrective Action Request (CAR) ID Number is 256978. The issue was fixed in LabVIEW 2013 (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14541/en/).

Time keeps changing back two hours!

Ipod touch 4th gen. The time zone is set to Monterey (Tennessee). They have the same time as we do in Crossville. My Ipod keeps changing the time back two hours for some reason. So right now, its 9:26. My ipod says it's 7:26. I can change it back manually, but it just changes back. I didnt have this problem before i had to restore it from the update freeze. Is there another Monterey in the U.S.A. or is it just the ipod?
My computer (Toshiba Windows 7) does it too, but i dont remember if it did it before my ipod froze.
Please help!

I didnt think it was obvious. Everyone I asked always told me it was a different time zone. Well whatever, thanks.

Renaming radio station: name keeps changing back

If I select a radio station, right click "get info" and change the name on the second tab, the name of the radio station successfully changes. However, much to my annoyance, when I double-click the station, the name changes back to the name broadcasted.
Can I prevent this behavior?
(ITunes 7, Windows XP)

Are you saying that this is another thing that has
stopped working in V7?
Well, dunno. I heard so many people say they like itunes so I decided to try it. In other words, I never tried V6 I just downloaded the newest version.
Since this is not the only issue I've experienced with itunes thus far, I think I will de-install, go back to winamp or whatever and stay away from apple apps for just a little while longer again.
BTW: Thanks for the post polydorus!

Every few days I have to go to Tools- Options to recheck "Warn me when closing multiple tabs." Is there a way to lock this so it doesn't keep changing back?

I've always assumed that this changes due to some update being pushed through. I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 4.0.1

#Type '''about:config''' in the location bar where you normally type in a web address. 
#In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''' 
#Double click it to change it to '''False'''. It will change to bold type. 
#Close the tab.
Should work.

Wallpaper keeps changing back to default

I posted this in another forum, by accident.
Here is a video of what's going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_iESJDAn6g
I'm usually pretty good with my Mac, but I can't figure this one out, for the life of me.
I use my older model Macbook Pro for a media computer. It's hooked up to a surround receiver, by a DVI>HDMI cable and with the optical audio out on the laptop. The surround receiver then goes to my TV, which I use as a display (I keep the laptop closed).
Recently, I've done two new things to my setup:
1. changed the desktop around with Geektool (it now displays the time, date and a calendar)
2. bought a Logitech Harmony 1100 remote to control my media setup.
For some reason, whenever I change from the Macbook Pro to, say, my Xbox, when I come BACK to the Macbook Pro, the wallpaper has changed from what I've chosen to the default wallpaper (from when you first install OS X). When I restart the computer, everything works properly and the wallpaper is back the way it should be, but until then, no matter how many times I change the wallpaper from the 'default,' it always waits about a second and changes itself back.
To be clear, in the Desktop/Screen Saver settings, everything looks how it should look: the wallpaper that I want to be the wallpaper is still selected as the current wallpaper. When the picture on the actual desktop changes, nothing changes in the Desktop/Screen Saver Settings, which is what is so confusing to me. I can pick a wallpaper and have it show up for about a second, at which point the default wallpaper pops up on the desktop (meanwhile, the wallpaper I've selected is still the wallpaper selected in Desktop settings).
It's truly bizarre. I've tried using InsomniaX, to see if maybe there was something weird when the computer was going to sleep (when I change inputs on the surround receiver), but the problem still persists.
I've turned off Geektool and restarted Finder and nothing's happened and I can't imagine that the Harmony is sending a weird code that would make my computer's wallpaper change.
I did a PRAM reset and that didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I suspect Geektool is the culprit. Did you have this problem prior to installing it. If not, then I suggest that you contact Geektool's manufacturer to see if they can come up w/some suggestions.
Have you tried any of the following?
Trashing the desktop.plist file & restarting your computer?
Repairing permissions and/or repairing your disk from the install DVD?

How do I change the color of a calendar? It keeps changing back to the wrong color.

I have tried to change the color of the calendar on iCloud, on the iPad, on the Mac desktop, and on the iPhone. It will not change as per the instructions in the help guide. It changes for about 1 second, then reverts back to a color I never chose. How can I get it to accept my person preference?

Please just have a look in the Support Communites and you will find multiple threads discussing the exact same issue. I would assume that it is a bug and Apple will solve this issue with an upcoming software update.

Why do imessage settings keep changing back to my email rather than my phone number when I didn't change anything?

For some reason my iPhone 5 has been automatically changing my imessage settings to send/receive from my email rather than my phone number. Even after I go back and correct it the same thing happens again later. Now I cannot receive any texts from a particular number (belongs to iPhone 4 owner) but they can receive mine, how do I fix this???

I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

Calendar events keep changing back after I change them

On my iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz, Yosemite loaded, calendar 8.0 events will not change. I can add events but not change them. I've tried refresh. I've followed all the troubleshooting re: to iCloud.

Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.

Clock keeps changing back 4 hours..why?

My finder window backgound keeps changing back to white after I restart

I know this is only aesthetic but I like to differentiate each finder window (all in icon view) with a different background, photo, unusual color,e.g., I have a shelf background for my application window, a photo background for my photo window, etc. So why the heck doesn't it retain my background preference after I restart the computer?

Please help! It is bothering me a lot!
