Do the options/preferences ever reset themselves, like after an upgrade?

Is there a way to tell when certain options have been changed? Firefox was set to delete history when it closes, but before yesterday this was not set, as far as I can remember. I did notice that Firefox said it was not the default browser last night, but I was pretty sure it was set as default. Any info on how these changes could possibly be tracked would be appreciated. On a similar note, is there any way to recover deleted history?

Revo Uninstaller is just that. A simple program(s) uninstaller. When I couldn't get rid of the Incredimail search bar, I used Revo and completely uninstalled version 15 Firefox. Before doing so I exported my bookmarks, etc to another browser.
I reinstalled Firefox, put my add-on's back, just as if it were my first time using Firefox. I had a list of add-on's and extensions and plug-ins showing up on Firefox as was normal. I logged into Last Pass and when I went to set the options, the entire form on the add-on's page was blank. The drop down menu for Last Pass had some weird icons...icon of man and woman, some kind of emoticons...not sure what they were because they weren't marked and they would not do anything once clicked.
After having to copy and paste from Last Pass Vault just to get on my various sites, I reset Firefox. Same problems. I then went to my C:/program files and removed the Mozilla Firefox folder as specified by Mozilla. I then upgraded to 16. Now I don't have any add-on's, just the search for add-ons page. When I tried to add my Last Pass, Clear Preview..etc...they installed but would not show up anywhere on Firefox. I then did another clean uninstall with Revo. I did a clean install for 16 Firefox. Same thing. None of the add-ons I put back show up. I have Windows Professional Edition XP Service Pack 3 and all updates are current. I have Zone Alarm Professional Security Firewall and anti-virus, System Mechanic, Spybot Search and Destroy. I have no idea what is causing my problems. I do use Chrome for some web surfing and I do have many of the same extensions on Chrome that I use(d) on Firefox. Would that interfere? Thanks for the prompt reply!

HT5312 For the security questions, it won't give me the option to change it. Like when I go to manage my account,it doesn't say " send security code." What should I do?

For the security questions, it won't give me the option to change it. Like when I go to manage my account,it doesn't say " send security code." What should I do?

The reset will only show if you had put a rescue email address on your account, if you aren't getting the link then you don't have one and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

        and service.

Share option for email does not work after Yosemite upgrade.

Hi,
Does anybody know why the share option, "Share via email" does not work anymore after Yosemite upgrade? I love this feature. It's just quick and easy.
Rod.

On Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 no longer recognizes the Share > Send Via Email categories. You will have to export and manually drag/drop/attach documents to Mail. There is no fix.

HT5312 When I go to Account Managemet. They won't have the option about, send reset security info to your email. Why don't they have that option?

Help

Because you didn't previously set up a rescue email address, which isn't the same as an alternate email. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Where is the option (preference) to eliminate the "Save to Online Account" from the Save or Save to Screen?

Or to enter "none" in the online account.
My earlier versions of Acrobat were not plagued by this.

AFAIK, no. Just ignore it...

How do I bypass the password which is no longer recognized after I upgraded to iOS 5?

I upgraded my iPad to the new iOS 5 and was able to upgrade my apps. Then it locked the screen on me and when I entered the password I had previously set, it is saying it is wrong. I have been locked out over and over. I have also tried to reset by holding the start/lock button and the home screen button until the apple icon appears......that doesn't wipe clean so I can reload. I have also tried to sync with my computer again and nothing will work unless I can unlock the ipad with my password which it won;t recognize!!!!! Frustrated!

The face time button on my iphone 4 is no longer there. It was there in the beginning, I think it went missing after I upgraded the software. I am on the latest version 4.3.5 now. Is there any solution for this?

I am not sure which upgrade version caused this to happen. I have upgraded the phone several times since last year and not really a frequent user of face time. I just noticed when I want to test it with my son's macbook.

There isn't a separate app icon for Facetime for the iPhone like there is for the iPad and iPod Touch. Facetime is built into the iPhone's iOS.
Here a refresher on how it works:

Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

Printers and Scanners preference pane does not work after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded to Mavericks on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and my printers and scanners preference pane stopped working. Sometimes it comes back as an error and wont open, other times it opens but the list of printers is obscured and not really showing, and it does not react normally. I tried reinstalling from System Restore with the onlie version, but that just took 6 hours but did not really help. I am going a little crazy as I cant get my Canon MX330 scanner installed and recognized. Does anyone have any ideas for me please??

I'm assuming that you're referring to the Printers & Scanners in System Preferences (not a preference pane, which is a different animal).
While I haven't experienced your issue, one thing that users find helpful is to go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/, and delete the printers listed by tapping on - (minus). Then, reenter the information when it's required later.

I haven't seen anything from Apple on the Maps App being only in Chinese after iOS5 upgrade. Does anyone know anything?

This issue is all over the forums, and google claims they are addressing it with Apple, the developer of the Google Maps app. However, still nothing has been done, the thousands of users that depend on this app to get around in China are desparate, and we hear nothing from Apple.
Can anyone at Apple comment on this problem, or does anyone else know anything?

BACK TO ENGLISH AND CHINESE LIKE BEFORE!!!
YES APPLE OR/AND GOOGLE FIXED IT.
now works with and without the VPN.
THANKS!!!!!!

Can't see the text of any e-mail received after ios4 upgrade

I can see some text whent it is listed, but i can't see it when I open the e-mail. Can anybody help me?
Message was edited by: Mapidufol

This just happened to me this morning during my commute. I read about 10 of my e-mails fine, but when I went to the next unread e-mail, the body of the e-mail was blank. I changed the preview to five lines and could see some of the text in the preview, but when I opened the e-mails, the body and subject lines are blank. It's been weeks since I upgraded to iOS4, so I don't know if it's related or not.
When I get home tonight, I might try resetting the iPhone.

Why is the full screen button missing in iPhoto11 after Lion upgrade?

I upgraded to iPhoto11 with Snow Leopard with no problems. Loved the new look and full screen view. Now that i've installed LION iPhoto appears to have reverted back to the iPhoto 09 look. For example, the full screen tab is missing.... WTH???

I think the problem is that the full-screen button has been moved in the Lion apps. In Snow Leopard it used to be the bottom left, in Lion it is in the top right corner. Is it there in your case?

Do the options/preferences ever reset themselves, like after an upgrade?
