CS3 - Palette locations won't stay at their place

Hello -
Neither in Photoshop®, nor Illustrator®, my "palettes" keep their place.
I checked ON the preference in the software, but it doesn't works!
Any idea why?
Thank you, have a nice day
- Dimitri

In that case, try deleting your preferences file to start with a fresh one. (yours may be corrupted)

If it keeps happening after that, then I'm not sure what to tell you. It could be a problem with the OS. Try running some maintenance on your Mac like repairing permissions.

Dock Icons will not stay in their place (CPU?)

I have been having an issue with random dock icons not staying in their place. I move an icon to a place that makes it arranged correctly in terms of grouping or importance and it "slides" back to it's original place almost immediately. Or I will move one and start arranging and all of a sudden one will slide to the right side or something.
I finally got a chance to troubleshoot this and did a google search.
I have for a very long time had DOCK SYNC TURNED OFF.
Now I have gotten into the MBP and LOGGED OUT of my MobileMe account and it STILL does this. It has been happening since I bought the computer new. I have other issues related to battery life and beachballs and hot computer or hot power charger of loud fan so I put another 4 GIGS in the machine recently so that it now has 8.
Mac phone support says they want to walk me through checking the CPU but I have done this routine like three times on this computer where I set up a User Account and I have done a FRESH INSTALL twice since I bought it. Last week I finally caught a break in the schedule to bring it in and they say the Hardware is fine.
I mean, it is odd but I don't consider this machine to be what I would consider a "pro" line but at the same time I see that this dock thing is happening on my MacPro (albeit while I am still logged into my MobileMe account).
Thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to take the time to bring it in if I don't have to.

yup. bizarre. logged out of MobileMe and I try to move the Keychain Icon from the third on the left to the last on the right and -whoooo-oop - it slides back to the left. no fun. like having a gremlin moving books around in my library or something...

Apps won't stay in their assigned Desktops

I'm using Lion (10.7.1) on a MacBook Pro. I assign each application to its own Desktop using Mission Control, and after a while two apps will open on the same Desktop, defeating the purpose of Spaces. They don't stay where they're assigned! Does anyone know how to prevent that? The Snow Leopard Spaces worked MUCH better. Misson Control seems like a step backwards to me.

How are you "assigning" them?
If you just drag a window from the active desktop to another desktop while in mission control, that only assigns that window of the app, not the whole app.
In order to assign the whole app to one desktop, first move to the desktop you want to assign the app to. Then right-click on the apps icon in the dock and choose 'Assign to this desktop'.

Apps won't stay in folder

I now have 3 APPs that won't stay in their folders after sync. I download, move from page 2 into a folder and all is well. Then when I sync, they are moved to pg 2 again.
Whats up with that?

Strange...
After the original post I decided to put the APPS in their folders then reboot the iPad. Once I rebooted the apps were back on page 2. So I moved them back to folders. Then you post came and I sync'd, I looked in the APPS view of the ipad link on itunes and everything was cool...no apps on pg 2. So I finished sync and checked, all was ok. So I opened each app and left them open while performing another sync. Still in the folders! Really Strange!
So I will hang with this one open for a few more days be fore I let it go.
Thanks for the idea! I had forgotten about that view.

Why won't my songs stay with their albums?

When I sync my personal CDs through the iphone store, to my nano 5th they don't stay in their albums. Each album has only one of the songs. The rest sort to the end of my albums in a category called unknown artists. Does anyone know how to fix this, or what I've done wrong. TIA

This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
(There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
My Airport card specs are:
Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
          PHY Mode:          802.11a
The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
These are the changes I made:
Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
My Mini now connects on:
PHY Mode:          802.11g
Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate:          54
instead of previously
PHY Mode:          802.11a
Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate: 36
This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
The iMac is still connecting on
PHY Mode:          802.11n
Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
Transmit Rate:          216
and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

Folders in Files Panel won't stay collapsed

There are 2 folders in my Files Panel which won't stay collapsed. When I open Dreamweaver, they are expanded. If I click the arrow next to them a few times they will eventually collapse, but then as soon as I open any other file or folder they re-expand themselves. This first started back when I was using Dreamweaver CS5 with one folder which refused to collapse. A year later, I had updated to Dreamweaver CS6, and now had 2 folders which wouldn't stay collapsed. This morning I updated to Dreamweaver CC, and the same 2 folders still won't stay collapsed!
I searched the forum and found people with the same issue going back to 2007, but have yet to find any solution. A few people recommended editing the Windows Registry - but I'm using the Mac version. Several people said that they had some luck completely deleting the site settings and re-creating it - but that seems a bit extreme, plus several people said that it just started happening again later with another folder!
Does anyone have a permanent solution??
Here are a few of the other posts regarding this issue:

Also - just as an FYI. If I rename the folder, it stops happening. I can close and restart Dreamweaver and it stays collapsed. But, as soon as I rename the folder back - even if I do so after closing and reopening the program - it starts doing it again!!
Not sure if this is related either - but I saw in someone else's post that setting Related Files to Automatically, instead of Manual, fixed the problem. I did try this, to no avail. I even tried many times to turn off Related Files (by unchecking the Enable Related Files box in Preferences) but it keeps re-enabling itself!

As Jon Suggested , try rebuilding the site Cache
Allow me to Quote another DW user
First let me add here that I did find that when I upgraded to the new Creative Cloud version of DW and it imported my 12.0 site settings, the problem followed those settings into the 13.0 version.
Im on a Mac so these instructions would need to be taylored to the PC in regards to the location of the file referenced. And I am not sure if it's even the same file on the PC. So I can only speak for my experience on the Mac.
I've fixed my 12.0 version and my 13.0 version this way.
It was a corrupted "Site Prefs" file. I tried to fix it, but the entries where so mixed up that there was no way that was going to work. So I deleted the "Site Prefs" file and let DW recreate it.
In order to recreate the Site Prefs file, it meant loosing all of my site settings.
To make things less painful...
Open DW and go to Manage Sites. Select all sites and do an export of all .ste files, with passwords and user names, into a temperary folder and close DW.
Now find file folder called "12.0" or 13.0" in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/12.0 (13.0 for the cloud version)/Sites/ and rename it to "12.0_old" or whatever. (Note: you may need to Option-click the Go Menu in the Finder in order to get the Library choice to appear).
Reopen DW and it will recreate a new blank "Site Prefs" file. Go to "Manage Sites..." and click on "Import Site". Select all of the .ste files and import them.
DW will update the site's cache the first time you open each site and it might also ask you to give permission to access the password stored in you keychain. Choose "Always Allow" for each one.
That's it. Now my corrupted folder doesn't pop open every time I click on another folder.
Mac OS 10.7.5
DW CS6 (12.0 build 5861) &/or DW CC (13.0 build 6391)
As I said, this worked great for me. But use these steps at your own discretion.

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math".

Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */

Try adding this to your CSS, adjust values to suit:
.content li {

padding-left: 25px;

Icons won't stay in dock

Some icons won't stay in my dock when I drag them from the applications folder, but others will.
I have tried the following without success:
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.plist then done a restart
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.db then done a restart
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.DiskUtility.plist then done a restart
-used disc utility to repair permissions
-opened an application from the applications folder then whilst the icon is in the dock used right click.options/keep in dock
-deselected dock synchronisation from mobile me sync
None of these measures work though iPhoto & iTunes are not affected by the problem.
The only workaround I have found is to create an alias of an application and drag this to the dock where it does stay put.
Can anyone suggest anything else?

New monitor profile won't stay selected

I've been using Snow Leopard for 2 years (Mac Mini) and had two different monitors in that time. I just got an Asus VE228 monitor and it was really bright and washed out. So I made a setting that looks good but it won't stay selected after a reboot.
When opening the System Preferences and going to the Display section, it switches to the right profile the moment I click on the Color tab. I have to do this every time I reboot.
Repairing permissions did not fix it. I tried making a new user and it does the same thing with that user. I tried a system reinstall and it didn't help.
I tried a different mac mini with mountain lion and it works fine with this monitor.
Can anybody help me get my monitor setting to stick?
Thanks,
Scott

Ok I have a new plan to do this.
It would work if Spry didn't keep overwriting my colours.
I have spry:odd and spry:even set on this table. I have also now removed spry:select
When someone clicks on something I make a note of the rowID and store that globally. I also set the clicked row to have the correct color and have added an id to all the rows which includes their rowID so I can easily do a document.getElementByID to find the row that should be selected.
Now I have added an onPostLoad to the notification which finds the correct row by the id I have set and then sets the color. If I put in an alert directly after I can see that this has worked.
The problem is that spry then overwrites the background colour with the spry:odd and spry:even colours.
So... what I need to know now, is how I can do something to the row directly after spry has finished setting colours.

My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected

My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected, and its connection is set up the same way my fiance's macbook is (his macbook is about three years older than my iMac). Every time my computer goes into sleep mode and I come back (even if it's mere seconds after giving the black screen) I have no internet connection. I discovered a workaround for it some time ago, but now that is working less and less, and now my computer randomly disconnects WHILE I'm actively using the internet. Just a few minutes ago, the connection refused to come back until I restarted my computer, even though once again all other computers in the house were connected. The workaround I discovered before and which doesn't work as reliably now, is to click opne Airport at the top right of the screen, click "Open Network Preferences," then click "Assist me," then click "Diagnostics," and wait for everything to turn green again, signalling a connection.

Let's check the quality of your connection since signal strength alone does not insure a good connection. The "bars" that you see at the top of the iMac screen are there pretty much for show.
Hold down the option key on the iMac while you click on the Apple icon at the upper left corner of your screen and select System Profiler
Look down the list of items at the left of the window until you find the setting for Network, then click on AirPort.
In the window to the right, look for any listings of your wireless network name. You may possibly see two listings for the wireless network name.
We need for you to list the information that you see for Signal / Noise. These will be negative numbers. Post back with your findings and we will continue.
In the meantime, please move any cordless phones that you have or any other electronic devices that are near the iMac as far away as possible from the iMac.
If the iMac is located in a corner or an enclosed area, give it as much room as possible since the wireless antenna is on the back of the iMac and it needs to be able to "see" the room.
Anything that you can do to minimize the number of obstructions like walls or furniture etc between the iMac and the wireless router will help the cause as well.

Have current Firefox on 3 computers. Get no response on all three even though different server involved. Firefox won't stay up long enough to try your fixes.

"No response" occurs so frequently that Firefox is non-functioning. I have had to resort to using IE & Chrome. UGH! Typically, Firefox won't stay up long enough to try recommended fixes. Any suggestions?

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.
Please report back soon.

Ay ideas?

Hello,
I'm going to take a shot at this. I suspect Tiger is remembering the old settings that were initially entered when you had no password. I'm running Leopard, and the Internet settings are in a different location from Tiger. I believe you go to Applications->Internet Connect. Set up your connection manually, matching your router's settings. If this doesn't work, or the settings still don't stick, then I'd suggest deleting the settings for your router, and then re-adding it with the correct info.

Reminders Info Window Won't Stay Open

Reminder info (location, date, time) won't stay open long enough for me to input location. Winndow fades away before it can search for a location i.e. trying to input Airport but fades before I can enter airport name.

I have given up. Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 times to open the window before I can complete my short entry. I think it definetely has to do with syncing and iCloud. I wish there was a way to setup the frequency of syncs or something.
I have resorted to using notes. It syncs with iCloud, but doesn't seem to show the same quirky behavior
Reminders is SO frustrating to use on any level. It is half baked IMO, this issue, can't sort the lists, can't do a delete all for completed items.

Imac won't stay connected to wireless network

I recently moved and now my imac won't stay connected to my wireless network. Every other device connects just fine, so it's not the service, or the location, because devices are all in the same room.
Every time my computer goes to sleep it seems to completely forget how to connect to the internet. There is only one Network (mine) listed in preferred networks. The computer will connect only if I go to System Preferences and run through the Network Diagnostics to tell it exactly what to connect to. Each time it says my connection and internet are fine, which I know.
Please someone tell me how to get it to remember my network so I can stop going through the Diagnostics every time I want to use my internet.

Though all of these steps may or may not be needed, I'm including them all.

Power Mac G5 won't stay asleep

Hello,
I just bought a G5 dual 2.5ghz (june '04). It won't stay asleep. I put it to sleep and it always wakes up within 3 minutes or so. I have unplugged all peripherals except for the keyboard/mouse which are hooked-up to the back of the 20" ACD. On this machine i'm running 10.4.11
I have reset the PRAM, etc. and turned off all options in the energy saver box.
Is my motherboard fried? What else can I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

tsunami,
+*what does EIR not supported mean?????*+
That's a good question. I googled it but couldn't come up with anything logical.
Do you have an application in your Login Items that may be incompatible with Leopard? Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. If there are some apps in there, it may be worth your while to jot them down, and then remove them from Login Items. After they've been removed try to sleep your computer. If it sleeps, then (if you need them), add them back in, one at a time, and keep testing to see if sleep is affected.
If the above doesn't work, create another account (I'd give it Admin Privileges) and log into it. Now try to sleep your computer. If it sleeps, you've got an issue (I hate that word) with your account...what, I don't know. You can either continue to try to locate and fix the problem, or (I suppose) you can move your data and settings to the new account....
I'm not sure where the point of diminishing returns is...It make take a fair amount of time and effort to copy your data and settings to a new account. I wonder if an archive and install would take the same amount of time, if you need to go that route...

I'll be off line a fair amount of time today, so I may not be able to respond to any updates you may have... Sorry!
