CS5 resorts back to default settings each time it is opened.  None of my preferances save.  Why not?

Then your preferences are not being saved.
Assuming you actually quit Photoshop (instead of shutting down the machine) - your preferences should be saved whenever you exit Photoshop.
Most likely your preferences folder has the wrong permissions and the preferences are not being written on exit.  What OS version are you using?

  • Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers

    Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers
    We have 4 Windows Server 2008 R2 print servers, all of which has the same printer queues installed on them that are utilized by a 3rd party printing program that does a round-robin load balancing scheme.  
    All printers are a combination of HP and Xerox all running some variation of the HP UPD and the Xerox UPD.  Some use the PCL 5 and some use the PCL 6 version determined by age of printer and need.  
    There are typically two printer queues for each physical printer.  
    Example:
    LOCATION_ROOM
    LOCATION_ROOM_TRAY2
    The regular queue is ok being left with default setting,
    The _TRAY2 queues are set to print to "labels" or "pre-printed" paper type or a specific tray.
    From time to time, these _TRAY2 queues will revert back to a factory default state and lose the setting to print to a specific paper type or tray.  Sometimes it happens to the _TRAY2 queue on all 4 servers, sometimes just 1 server, etc.  No rhyme
    or reason.
    Disabled Bi-directional options on both the HP and Xerox UPDs per another article on the internet that said bi-directional could cause the printer to send back settings to the driver and cause this issue.  Even with this option off, we continue to see
    printer _TRAY2 queue settings revert back to factory default and lose their specific paper and tray settings.  We have ruled out the possibility that users or other technicians are the ones making these changes so we suspect it is some interaction between
    the servers, printer drivers and printers themselves causing the issue.  
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd start by using one of the print drivers included in Windows for a few of the printers and confirm it's the universal driver that is causing the issue.
    HP installs some other processes and services on the machine which communicate with the HP devices. 
    PML and something else.  You might want to shut those down and see if these processes are the ones modifying the settings.
    Run process monitor to truly identify which processes is causing the modifications.

  • Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings?

    Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?

    Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
    If not, you have nothing to worry about.
    Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account.

  • How can I get Firefox to take me back to the last Bookmark folder I was in like Internet Explorer instead of going back to the beginning each time??

    When i find a website using bookmarks in Firefox and then I want to look at another site in that same folder, especially in a subfolder, Firefox takes me back to the beginning of the bookmarks menu. With Internet Explorer, it takes me back to the same folder or subfolder I was in. For example, if I was wanting to search newspapers, especially if they are in subfolders, I want to stay in that same place. Firefox loses that place, unlike Internet Explorer, and takes me back to the beginning each time. Sometimes I have several layers of subfolders and it takes time to find that place again each time.

    A possibility is to open the Bookmarks Sidebar.
    Click the list icon next to the star on the Navigation Toolbar and click "View Bookmarks Sidebar" (Ctrl+B).

  • How do I get back to default settings for photoshop elements edit

    How do I get back to default settings of photoshop elements 9 for edit.   I tried to edit one picture and now all of my pictures are discolored.

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (cmd+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

    # Question
    I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

    Is this the Firefox branded Google page? If it is, Firefox can store multiple home pages and you may have 2 home pages set. Follow the instructions to set a single home page in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    If it is the Firefox has just updated page that keeps on appearing, there may be a different problem, for details on fixing that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

  • HT204053 can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and  how do I sync updates on applications?  Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.

    can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and  how do I sync updates on applications purchased from either store?  Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.  The trouble is I set up my appleid in new Zealand and so all icloud and itunes and app stores are under New Zealand Apple ID I have since moved to Australia. Im a real beginner at this stuff so bare with me pse.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • PDF file size grows each time form is saved (with no data changes). Why?

    I have an SAP Adobe form (PDF) and we are seeing a difference in the Save behavior between when it is viewed in Adobe Reader vs. the adobe plug-in(?) for Internet Explorer.
    When the form is viewed in Internet Explorer, every time the user saves the form the file size grows (even with no data changes in the form - i.e., open the form, hit save).  This is not true if the form is opened in Adobe Reader.
    The form in question has multiple pages but the only fields directly bound to the SAP source are a handful of identifiers (e.g., order number) and a dynamic table.  It appears from our testing that the more entries in the table when the form is created, the greater the size increase each time the file is saved.  The table length is not changed after the form is first generated.
    Is there a known difference in the behavior of Adobe Reader vs. the browser plug-in which would account for this difference?  Our users have Adobe Reader X installed on their machines.

    If this is an XFA form, as opposed to an Acroform, you should ask in the LiveCycle Desiger forum or a more relevant LiveCycle forum.

  • InDesign always goes back to Default settings

    I cannot seem to get my settings to stay. If I have to force quit for any reason, the default settings always come back its is so frustrating. I also always have to open the tabs bar even though I check the tabs in the menu, every time I reopen the document, the tabs bar is gone....is this the norm? I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 on a G5 Powermac.
    Thanks!

    >The next time I am forced to force quit,
    you must make your settings then quite not force quit. When you quit ID thats when the app writes the new settings as default when you force quit ID does not have the chance to save these settings. you must follow the prceedure in post 2.
    If you can only force Quite ID there is something wrong with your computer.
    first thing I would do is Archive and Install the OS.

  • MacBook Pro screen saver keeps going back to default settings

    I use the Vintage Prints screen saver and always change the folder of photos to the most recent folder of photos I have taken. (I am an avid photographer and take lots of pictures.) Periodically the screensaver reverts back to the default settings: National Geographic photos, not shuffling the slide order. This has happened multiple times. Why won't it keep my settings?

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
    Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the password as admin...all you need to do is do the wireless settings such as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
    Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
    thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
    Requests & it will definately work!!!
