Complete list of all settings lost when Aperture prefs are removed?

Hi. Does anyone have a complete list of what is lost (and needs to be reset) after the Aperture preferences file is deleted? This would be useful, no?

Hi Kirby,
It would be very useful, yes, but I do not know of any official document.
But from experimenting I found, that the preferences file contains
all settings you set from the Preferences panel (surprise, surprise)
the "recent directory" lists
the path to your Aperture library
the layout of the GUI
I always keep the original preferences file for reference, when I need to delete it. You can read the preferences file with Xcode, a free download from the AppStore and check the older settings.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. It is far easier to say what is not in the "Preferences" file: All settings that you find in "Your User Library > Application Support > Aperture", but you probably know all that

Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops ( Logic 8

I'm sure it's been posted previously, but anyway, I'm looking to buy new Apple Loops libraries and I have faced the fact , that many of the sounds and loops produced by third parties manufacturers have been already included in Logic installation discs.
I have a list of Apple Loops DVD's that have been included with Logic somewhere, the problem is, Apple didn't post ( I believe) the credits of all 3rd party manufacturers that have produced these libraries that are included with Logic or Garage band. Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops that are included with Apple DAW's so I wouldn't duplicate anything ? I'm pretty much positive that Apple had other companies to sound design and sample all libraries for them, so is there also a way to have a list of those manufacturers? Again, the objection is to start upgrading the sound library without any possible duplication?
Thanks in advance!

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

Complete list of all bugs in portal 9.0.2

Does anyone know if there is a complete list of all bugs and their respective patches (with release dates, preferably) for portal 9.0.2 (windows edition)?
Regards,
Lene

it would be very useful to get a list of these one off patches as they are released - nothing is getting posted in this forum recently regarding availability of patches.
Any bug fixes are a good thing, especially if it means I do not have to wait until Q1 next year for a patch set.

All settings lost after startup

hello,
unfortunatly my pb keeps losing all settings(mailaccounts, bookmarks, dock etc.). after i set everthing as it was before it disappeared again.
anyone knows what to do?
thanks

I sounds like you may be setting up prefs/settings for one account and logging on another account, but not quite. Any chance you lost, deleted, or misplaced your Home folder?
Read the Apple kbase Article:

Do you have file vault turned on?

Monitor settings lost when switching user accounts.

Hi! I just recently noticed that every time i switch user accounts, my monitor settings get corrupted.
There are 2 user accounts in my ibook. One account is used for work while the other one is used for home purposes. The work account has a specific monitor setting which is calibrated to our workstations. The other account has default settings on it.
My question is that when I switch users, the settings for my work account gets corrupted. I also can't change the settings without having to restart the book.
I already repaired permissions and zapped the pram. The same thing still happens.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Chuck!
I've had this problem too. Like you, I managed to navigate to do a restart, but nothing else would make the mouse cursor reappear.
Bruce, I wasn't using Biggy, PinPoint or any of the other mouse visibility things, simply the magnification provided by System Preferences.
I put it down to a fault on 10.4.4—a very buggy release— and haven't yet been able to reproduce it on 10.4.5.
I suggest you send a fault report to Apple ([email protected]), explaining all the circumstances. Try always undoing the cursor zoom before switching users (yes, that's a pain too!!!). And if I manage to reproduce the problem, I promise I'll send in a fault report too!

Is tabook.pdf a complete list of all laptops?

Hello.
I just bought ThinkPad T510 4314-4PG.
I tried to find detailed information about my laptop in tabook.pdf file.
But I can find 4314-PG in this document. There are number models of 4314-xxx but no 4314-PG.
I believe tabook.pdf is a comprehensive list of all Lenovo laptops.
Where can I find detailed information about this particular laptop?
Thanks,
Eugene.

ekon, welcome to the forum,
the tabook covers the models marketed in the USA and some other countries. For general information regarding European models; weight, dimensions etc. etc. it's OK, but as you stated not clearly definitive.
There are unfortunately no similar publications for European models which are available to customers.

Has anyone seen a (complete) list of all the technologies that

Has anyone seen a list(diagram/mind map/chart) of all the technologies that make up java.
Such as beans, JSF, struts, JSP, servlets, etc....

Useless. What makes up Java is the JDK and the JRE - everything else is BUILT using Java technology. Imagine if you'd ask a list of everything that "makes up" C/C++, how long would that list be? Well the Java list might not be as long, but it is still long enough for you to not care.
Perhaps you want to be more specific. Do you want to have a list of all common web oriented frameworks perhaps?

VS 2013 - Settings lost when creating new project

I am having this is odd issue with my VS 2013 settings. I setup VS 2013 with all my custom settings and colors. I can open and existing project and my settings with be there. If I create a new project all my settings are gone. I
backed them up so I can import them and everything looks correct again. Is there something I need to do to make the settings permanent?

Thanks for Kulasangar's help.
Hi heffer86,
Like Kulasangar's suggestion, the real issue would be related to how you custom settings and colors in your VS IDE. For example, generally some settings under TOOLS->Options->font and Color or color theme like the following screen shot in
VS IDE, it would be saved to your current VS settings file, so it still have the same feature if you create a new project with the same settings.
But certain settings just were used for your current projects, I mean that they are not saved to your current VS settings file. So it would change to the previous settings if you create a new project. So you would check the
real settings file and make sure that which settings are saved to this file.
Or you didn't enable the settings when you export the settings file, so it would have this issue when you use this settings file next time.
Best Regards,
Jack

All settings lost on Mail and Safari

I walked away from my computer for about 10 minutes, and when I came back to check my email, I found that all my account settings were reset, and all my bookmarks, etc. gone in Safari. Any ideas why this would happpen? I am in New England with this big storm going on, would that have anything to do with it?

Not sure what the situation is now. Is your mail really gone from ~/Library/Mail/? Hasn’t it “reappeared” there, just like some of your settings?
The only thing that’s usually necessary in cases such as yours, after having fixed all the filesystem issues, is to re-create or restore com.apple.mail.plist using one of the following procedures:
(1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
(2) Set up your mail accounts again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
(3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may trash the new com.apple.mail.plist and rename the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Since Mail decided to discard it, I would expect this file to be corrupt (I don’t understand why would Mail discard it and create a new one otherwise), but apparently that often is not the case and the settings can indeed be restored by just renaming the file.
If your mail is gone from ~/Library/Mail/, however (something I find hard to believe, as you apparently didn’t have serious filesystem issues), and it’s not on the server, then you’ll have to either restore it from a backup or try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

All sound lost when usb microphone was installed

Hi all
I installed a usb mic to narrate over some tracks and clicked on the mic button in the audio window and subsequently adobe will not play any sound whatsoever. The original tracks play the sound in Microsft media player (though I also tried windows movie maker and no sound there either) so am completely flumoxed.
Can anyone help or have any suggestions please.
Cheers
Jools

Jools,
Welcome to the forum.
Did you install any drivers with the USB mic? If so, chances are that these smurfed something in your Audio Hardware settings in PrPro. Look especially at your ASIO settings now. My guess is that you will have some additional choices in the drop-downs.
Now, USB mics are prone to problems in most Adobe software. Some function OK, but others just do not.
One thing to try, would be to download and install ASIO4ALL. It's free and has fixed so many ASIO problems for others. You will have to point PrPro to use it in all the drop-down boxes. After you install it, reboot, and it will appear as a selection. Many on the Audition have used it to allow for the use of USB mics and a ton of other esoteric equipment.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why all settings lost from turning off power to Airport Express?

QUERY: Am I required to keep the Airport Express unit powered continuously forever after now, or have to re-enter all the network names and passwords every time the power is turned off?
I just bought Airport Express station a few weeks back. It's downstairs next to the cable modem and my 7-year-old iMac purchased in 2004, which has no wireless capability. There is NO cable outlet OR telephone line upstairs near brand new iMac, which is WHY I BOUGHT THE AIRPORT EXPRESS; I didn't want to string a 100-foot ethernet cable upstairs.
Monday a very patient Apple tech guy talked me through getting it set up, which involved my racing up & down the stairs, re-setting the unit to clear my unsuccessful data inputs from the previous week, watching and waiting for the unit amber light to turn green, then in-putting the new data. With the tech guy's help, it worked fine.
Since the unit gets HOT while plugged in to the socket, I switched off the power strip. (My disabled brother and I live together, and we have to share a single connection to the internet. I'm away from home during the day, so this has worked fine when we used ethernet cables and a hub seven years ago.)
BUT now the very first time I've powered up the Airport Express since it was working FINE, it's NOT working. Amber light just blinks slowly forever.
I'm posting this from my SEVEN-YEAR-OLD iMac, 'cause the Airport Express evidently needs to be reset. Since following the instructions the FIRST time DID NOT WORK, I wanted to find out if powering down the Airport CAUSED the data to evaporate, before calling Apple again. Hey! I've been working with Macs, teaching computer graphics and working in interactive games for 3 decades! But clearly, there are GAPS in my understanding.
Thanks for any comments.
