Dashboard settings don't save

when i mark widgets as being deactivated - then logout or restart my computer - all of my widgets are once again activated and i have to deactivate them by hand.
i want to save RAM and deactivate the ones i never use using the widget manager..

It could be that your dashboard preferences have become corrupt. Navigate to your home folder, then to Library -> Preferences. In there, look for com.apple.dashboard.plist. Trash that file, log out, and log back in. Then deactivate the widgets you don't want, log out, and log in to see if that worked.
Even if that doesn't work, keep this in mind: Just because a widget is shown in the bar at the bottom of the screen, doesn't mean it is taking up memory. The only time a widget can consume memory is when it is actually placed on the dashboard (either by clicking the icon in the bottom bar, or dragging it from the bottom bar to the Dashboard).

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

Internet Options, LAN Settings don't save when using Run As

Hi,
On Windows Server 2012 RTM with IE ESC off I can log on to the console of the server as UserA, I can open IE, open the Internet Options window, select the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, change a setting (eg specify a proxy server), click OK, and click
LAN Settings again to confirm my changes were saved.
However, if whilst logged on as UserA, I right-click the IE icon on the taskbar, select "Run as different user" and specify credentials for UserB instead, any changes I make in the LAN Settings window are forgotten the moment I click OK.
But, if I log on to the console of the server as UserB and open IE, the LAN Settings window does remember the changes I make, so this is not a user permissions or Group Policy issue.
Additionally, if I use Fiddler's "Tools, WinINET Options" menu to access the Internet Options window, I experience the same variations in behaviour I described above depending on whether Fiddler is run from the console user, or via "Run as different user".
Lastly, using Sysinternals's ProcMon, when the LAN Settings are saved correctly, I can see it is done via DllHost.exe (WinInetBroker) calling GetUrlCacheEntryInfoEx which in turn writes the "Internet Settings\Connections\DefaultConnectionSettings" value
to the registry. I can also see iexplore.exe writing the "Internet Settings\Connections\SavedLegacySettings" key. When attempting to change the LAN Settings when "Run as a different user", ProcMon still shows the successful write to the SavedLegacySettings
key but the other key is never written to, there isn't even an Access Denied.
A reference to "GetAppContainerRegistryLocation" in one of the ProcMon captured stack traces suggests this is behaviour new to Windows 8 as part of the "Metro"-style app isolation, however this is occuring in IE desktop mode and Fiddler (which is not a Metro
app).
I believe this is either a bug that needs to be fixed to allow changes to save correctly or return an error when attempting to save the changes if they will be ignored. At the very least, this behaviour needs to be documented.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,
I have tested in my lab, and got same result with you. below is my test and results.
1. log on with user1>> click "IE" and select "Run as different user">> type user2's credential >>change proxy, click "OK". open "internet option" again, the change was not saved.
2. log on with user2, check proxy in IE, the change was not saved.
Then I tested on "Home Page", zone settings, , I found the changes can be saved.
I have done further test on other applications, such as notepad (enable/disable status base), calculator (View >> standard/scientific/programmer/statistics), the change can be save from "Run as different user".
since this is a behavior of IE, I suggest you submit a post in IE forum and IE experts may give you explanation on that.
Thanks.

Print settings don't save

I am trying to print to a Zebra GK420d Label printer and firefox will not remember my paper size after one label is printed. Ideas on how to force a paper size and have it remember it?
I am on windows 7 and have changed my paper size for Printer Preference and Printer Properties and it will print correctly in notepad.

Just tried printing to another printer on our network and the settings definitely save from print job to print job. Ideas on why it would only be an issue with my Zebra GK420D label printer?

HT5957 APN settings don't save on my iPad after software update iOS 7.0.2

Since the software update to iOS 7.0.2 my iPad 2 will no longer save my carrier APN settings. I have spoken to the carrier (virgin) and have tried to reset the APN to factory default then re-enter the APN settings. Nothing appears to be working and virgin told me it is the fault of the apple software update. Can anyone help or can Apple please fix this ASAP? I can't use my 3G at all, only wifi and need 3G access while travelling.

I had same problem.
Solved it by clearing cmos a couple of times, using the cmos clr button on mobo, after I upgraded BIOS. Solved the issue.
Thanx for trying help me, but this metod don`t work
I try clear CMOS, try replace SATA ports - no result
Strangely enough, on the second BIOS everything works (I have not updated), and on the first even if you downgrade - the problem remains.

My settings for email save is 500 but only about 50 are saved?..

My IPad settings for email save is 500 but only about 50 are saved. Why????

If you call any company you do business with, that protects your information, you generally have to provide an account number and some other type of information for that company to verify your identity.
I don't choose to live in bubble of paranoia. No, I don't give my info to every Tom, Dick, or Harry that calls me - I am actually much more wary of people that call me - but when I call a business I expect to provide some type of identifying infomation.

In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
(The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
Please find the cause of it! Thank you!

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

System Settings will not save my desired mouse scroll direction

I understand the Apple genius of wanting the Settings: Mouse: Scroll direction: Natural box to be checked. But **** it, this is MY iMac and I want the scroll direction to remain Unchecked, so the screen scrolls in the direction I’ve been used to for YEARS.
The problem is the System Settings will not save the unchecked scroll box. I have to return to the System Settings every time I log on to UN check the Scroll Direction: Natural box.
Will Apple ever fix this so that I, and others, can operate the scrolling as THEIR LONG-TIME USER sees fit?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Sequence Settings Don't Match

Good evening.
I'm using FCP6 to edit video shot on a DVX100B in 24p Squeeze Mode. When I setup a new project I choose the following:
Format: (all formats) Rate: (all rates)
Use: DV NTSC 23.98 Advanced Pulldown Removal Anamorphic (a custom setting)
When I drop my first clip into the time line I inevitably get the following message:
"Attention- This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
Is there something I'm doing incorrectly, or should I just expect this and always allow FCP to change my sequence settings?
Thanks,
John

Hi,
that is normal message when your source material and your sequence settings don't match.
If you check from your media browser the item properties for your source material and then compare that with the sequence parameters, you will see something either in audio or video that doesn't match.
May be you've got anamorphic material and your sequence was not set with the anamorphic flag on.
Answering yes to that form will make sure you won't have to render all time you add a clip to your timeline.
Regards,
Armando.

Why the "Synchronize with Item" property don't save?

I created that table :-
create table syn (col1 number , col2 number);
and in forms 6i ..... I determinate col1 as the value for "Synchronize with Item" .
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6258/synar6.png
and when I test it in runtime , it work correctly and after I saved the data and get out of forms and went to database to ensure the data existing ... I surprised that the data in col2 not existing at all .... wholly empty
SQL> select*from syn;
COL1 COL2
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
8 rows selected.
why the item (COL2) don't save the data that inserted into it automatically by "Synchronize with Item" property ????

i should use copy property not Synchronize ?That's meant for copying values from master to detail, so it would probably not work as you want within the same record. I think you should set the value of the secondary item in pre-insert and pre-update triggers, depending on what you're actually trying to accomplish?

Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

cor-el,
Yes, I will....the next time it happens. In the past it has happened to AOL a number of times (which is usually my home page), as well as some Yuku message boards I visit...The History Channel A&E, Spike TV, all at various times.
Unfortunately, this morning when it happened to one of the Yuku message board, I went directly to the tool bar, cleared my cache and cookies, without capturing a screenshot. Now , everything I've bookmarked is working properly but I will tell you it's a problem that I only experience on Firefox and not any other browsers, even when I've imported bookmarks from Firefox. It's been a fairly consistent problem for the past 6 months or so where I manually uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox (my preferred browser) and again, manually started bookmarking my sites all over again. It seems that when it happens most of the icons, graphics and photographs are missing, leaving me with only disorganized text.
The next time that it occurs, I will take a screen shot and forward it to you.
Thanks for you interest and help.
