Does not retain window position preferences

I have a new Mac Pro. When it came it was loaded with Lion. The windows prefernces (position, list view vs column view, etc) wouldn't be retained. This wasn't just between restarts but even if I opened a folder, closed it and opened it a half-hour later. So I got the free upgrade to Mountain Lion (I had bought the computer just after June 2012. I thought the upgrade might help but it didn't.
Itried deleting the .pref for the finder and some other fixes I found online. No luck.
Still the same problem going on.

Can any one help me.....

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
My code snippet is :Snippets don't help.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.

All time Bug! Accordion widget does not retain content position as in design view

I have noticed that content placed inside an accordion widget that is stretched to fill browser width do not retain the position of its elements. This is very annoying as ones layout does not look right and balanced across screen.

That was it KathH --- THANKS!!!
Had created the row w/out <td> cells to carry the top banner (sort of cheating) on spanning the cells i guess ( )
Anyway, re-wrote so that the banner table was independant and did not require span and picked up the data table independantly.
Problem solved and designer picked up the image precisely.
Thanks again!!!
Curious though that the image is dependant on the <td> tag. I would have expected any image called within the page to display in the designer regardless of location in the html.
Oh well, fixed and onto the next challenge.
Once more THANKS!!!

Does not retain system sound preference settings

I use a Tascam US 1800 audio I/O with my Mac Pro, but I have to reset the System Preferences to the US 1800 every time I restart the computer. The computer defaults to Line In and Line Out.
I thought perhaps there was something wrong with the US 1800, so I tested it with my MacBook Pro and that computer retains the Sound preferences to the US 1800 when shut down and restarted. So it seems like the issue is with the Mac Pro.
Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this and how to remedy it?
Thanks!

The permissions are totally wrong. It looks like someone has intentionally changed them.
First, since I don't know what other damage has been done, you should at the very least back up all data and then run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. That action may fix some (not all) other files with wrong permissions, but it wont fix this one.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
sudo chown 202:202 /L*/P*/A*/*.audio.*.plist; sudo chmod -N $_
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Quit Terminal and reboot.

Preview app WILL NOT retain window position

This one is annoying the s$@t out of me...I work on a two monitor set up (which I dont even believe is a factor)...but Preview is the only app that will not remember its position - in fact - every time I open a PDF, its position changes.... even when setting ALL PDF's to the center of my screen.. When I open it again a 2nd time, it is different. It is actually splitting between both of my screens (most on the left, some on the right)
I tried deleting the PLIST file for Preview, but it does not work...
Anyone have any ideas?

I know exactly what you mean. I've been looking for a solution myself, as I have an unusual two-monitor setup. It seems to only be an issue when opening PDF's, like you mentioned. I've tried modifying PDFDocument.nib to change the initial starting location, but it doesn't seem to help, for some reason. If anyone is curious about what we're talking about, I took a screenshot:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FF 4 does not retain user website preferences - help!

Hi.
In IE 8 there is a provision under Tools -> Delete Browsing History to Preserve Favorites Website Data, like CNN and MSNBC settings, etc.
I don't see how I can do this in FF 4.
I tried leaving the Site Preferences box unchecked, to no avail. All of my personal website settings are deleted anyway.
What's up?
Please respond.
TIA :0)

MW64, cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the context menu does not retain recent folder destinations after I close the program

W64, cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the context menu does not retain recent folder destinations after I close the program. The context options that show are the ones from original install. The workspace I set up is also gone. I have every explorer box and cleaner checked to save recent. Had to disable nivedia desktop software because of weird display conflict. Have Dell pro support and they cannot fix. Any ideas to help me with this would be appreciated.

Self-solved! I work in column view in Finder so get there in a Finder window with folders and files appearing.
There really is no problem, just select an ITEM in the COLUMN before right-clicking!
The "old" context menu will appear. If you click in the white space in that column (or anywhere in a Finder window) and then place the cursor over a folder or file WITHOUT selecting it and right-click you will bring up the secondary context menu - Open, Copy, Duplicate, View Options and a greyed out Labels option. No "Move to Trash".

Is there a save option on iPhoto? Sometimes iPhoto does not retain the name on a face I've added to a photo.

Sometimes iPhoto does not retain the name on a face I've added to a photo. I have 'added a face' then flipped to the next picture then back to that picture and the label has disappeared.

No. It's supposed to be automatic. You might try repairing the library's database and then see if it still crops up now and then. If that doesn't help try rebuilding it the same way.
Launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and select the database repair option in the rebild window:
Then the rebuild option if necessary.

DHCP snap-in will not retain window settings, columns, etc.

DHCP (version 6.3) will not retain window settings or columns after being closed. I haven't been able to find any information on this so far. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi,
I understand your issue. The DHCP management console won't save the view customize settings.
We could customize the DHCP management console using MMC (Microsoft Management console)snap-in, customize it and save it to a place. Doing this makes the console remembered the configuration.
More information regarding MMC, please take a look at the below link:
Microsoft Management Console 3.0
For the DHCP management console does not remember the customization, this might by design. If we want to make a customized DHCP console shortcut, we could take a try to enter DHCP in author mode, more detailed steps, please take a check with the post of
Josh in the below thread:
DHCPMGMT.MSC in Remote Server
Administration Tools (RSAT) won't remember DHCP server
Hope this may help

Bridge does not keep my Label Preference

I want to be able to rate my images in Bridge CS3 using only the number keys. So I go to Preferences - Labels - then uncheck "Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings". This works fine and I'm able to rate images by tapping keys 1 through 5 (for star ratings) then 6 to 9 for color labels.
The problem is when I close Bridge CS3, it does not keep my labels preference. Every time I open Bridge again, the Control key is required to rate images. If I check the preference, that option is once again checked off.
Is there a way to keep that UNchecked???

Adobe has started to release really crappy software. Their bug testing is God aweful, and their willingness to fix their problems is even worse!
Bridge constantly crashes for no reason whatsoever for me. If I leave it open, but haven't used it in a while, when I pull it back up, it often crashes. Explain that! I'm not even doing anything with the program.
I'm having the same problems with labels retaining the preference. Inexcusable, and a complete failure of proper testing.
How long has it been since Vista's been released, and yet there's STILL no native DNG preview? Sure, you can buy one for $30 bucks from a third party. Remind me again why I need to pay a third party to do Adobe's job?
And because they make some of the best stuff, they can get away with this shoddy workmanship. But only for so long. Keep it up guys, and you'll inspire a competitor to do a better job.

Browser: Print to PDF does not retain hyperlinks

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can give me some guidance.
I have several html pages that contain numerous hyperlinks throughout the page
On each page there is a javascript print button (ie. onclick="window.print();returnfalse..........)
Whenever a user chooses the option from the print dialog box to print the page to Adobe PDF, the output (pdf) does not retain the hyperlinks.
Is there a way, feature, or product that will allow external users to print to pdf and still have the hyperlinks work?

Printing to PDF never includes interactive elements - it is what it says, a digital copy of a printed page. No links on a sheet of paper = no links on a PDF printout.
To retain interactive content you must save the page as a PDF, for example using the Acrobat plugin for IE or Firefox.

Home Page does not retain sign-on

I just recently updated to FF 7.0.1. Since then my Home Page (Google.com) does not retain my sign on even though I have checked the box to remember the sign on information on this computer. It always worked before the update and that is the only thing that was changed. Windows VISTA home premium sp2 operating system. HP Pavilion dv9843cl Notebook PC.

Safari does not retain Full Screen state

Yosemite: version 10.10 (14A389)
Safari: version 8.0 (10600.1.25)
Safari does not retain Full Screen state when opening, or re-opening, quitting and restarting Safari, or rebooting the computer, even when the last state was in Full Screen.
Under Lion, this did not happen. Safari would always keep the last state used even after quitting, or rebooting the iMac.
In God's Harmony

navigate to your Users Library folder ( it is hidden , so use Finder's "go to folder" menu ) , then locate inside the Library folder "preferences", search for com.apple.safari and delete the plist you find for Safari.
then restart Safari and it should present all new Lion Options.

Does not retain sort state

App Store does not retain sort state when returning from viewing an individual app to the full list of apps. If the full list spans more than one page, the page you were on is also not retained.
I have no idea if this is a bug, a feature (or lack thereof), or an oddity on my computer. Since I can't find any other way to request a feature or post feedback to Apple, I'm putting this here.
If by some chance this is an issue with my computer only or I'm missing some preference somewhere (ha!) I'd appreciate any help provided by the community.

Yes, it is indeed VERY frustrating that the App Stores don't return you to where you left off browsing if you stop to click on an app to read more about it. Once you're done reading about an app that interests you, you're dumped right back at the beginning. So, just to get back where you were, you may have to plow through ten pages of apps. I get so fed up with being whisked back to page 1 all the time that I just give up and leave the App Store in disgust. I hate wasting my time paging backnthrough all the apps I've alread covered. ALSO, when looking over GENIUS recommendations on the App Store, why is it that even when I click on NOT INTERESTED for a given app, the app just stays there? It's like my clicking NOT INTERESTED has no effect whatsover. What's the problem with the App Store?
