Favorite effects folder not saving

Hey all,
I'm not sure why this is, but for awhile now, I haven't been able to keep my favorites bin in the effects tab stuffed with my favorite effects. I can usually fill a bin with a couple of cross dissolves set at different lengths, as well as some other commonly used transitions/filters, and it would stay like that even between reboots. It used to be as long as I didn't have to trash preferences, that bin would stay filled. But now, for some reason, even if I just close FCP, I have to re-create all my favorite effects.
I'm running OS 10.4.10, and FCP 6.0.3 on a Mac Pro 8-core 3.0Ghz.
I do have my normal autosaves, waveform cache, thumbnails set to my internal boot drive, where I've always kept them.
Any ideas why FCP isn't remembering them anymore?
Thanks,

This may be a perfect time to trash those preferences and try again.

Arrangement of icons in a folder not saving on reboot....

Hello - I'm posting this here as recommended - didn't get an answer on another forum.
Hi - first problem with my year old mac, and first question here. Apologies if this one has been answered already - I looked through a few pages of the forum, but not all of them.
For some reason one or maybe 2 of my folders has stopped remembering how I've arranged the icons. This only happens when I restart the computer - otherwise the icons stay where they are. Also the background gets reverted to the default state on reboot. This only happens with my main hd folder - the one in the top right of the screen, and maybe my applications folder, although I haven't checked that one thoroughly.
It could be that the ds.store file is getting hosed somehow on reboot - any ideas why this might be happening?
This is a single user computer, btw.

Hi Again Steve!
Same answer in other thread.
See if this Making Finder window views persistent, authored by Scott Radloff, helps.
Also, positioning icons, too close to the edge of the window, will cause them to reposition themselves on restart.
Positioning them too close to each other, will cause this as well.
Depending on how many icons are displayed, the Size of the icons, as well as the Text size & Label position can also factor in. Experiment with these settings.
My folder icons usually do not reposition themselves, and this is how I have my View Options set.
Icon size: 32 x 32
Text size: 12 pt
Label position: Bottom
I have none of the following options selected.
Snap to grid
Show item info
Show icon preview
Keep arranged by
A different configuration may work for you. Experiment with the options until you find something suitable.
With the folder window open,
From the Finder's Toolbar, position your cursor over "View" and pull down to "Show View Options", and click. Or use the Command + J keys.

Draft Folder Not Saving Emails

I have a mobile Me account and I have my email syncing up to 3 computers. Ever since I got the 10.6 (the others are 10.5) if I make changes to an email in Mail, save it to the Draft folder, the email disappears within a day. I can still make changes to a draft email on the 10.5 systems and those seem to stick around. It is very annoying. What I often do, when I remember, is after saving the new emails, I minimize them into the dock and then when they disappear, I am able to resave them by opening up the minimized versions.

Why is the Outlook Favorites sort order not saved?

I have added the inbox for my main email account as well as inboxes for hotmail and gmail to favorites as well as some folders and search folders. I put the inboxes at the top and exit Outlook. When starting again they are at the bottom instead. Any solution?

For some reason it works as expected now. Maybe /resetnavpane did the trick anyway even though it at first
after the reset did not work. Not sure but for now the inboxes shows up at the top as I want to. If this changes again I'll post an update.
As Deva's said, this is depend on Outlook.xml. If Outlook load the XML failure, we would not receive the correct view. Creating a new Outlook profile would refresh all of files in a new profile, this is a way for troubleshooting and we don't
need to import all of PSTs.
Thanks.
Cheers,

After Effects CC not saving ram preview when switching to different tab.

Okay so just recently upgraded to CC and have been experiencing some ram preview problems.
What happens is I will do a ram preview, watch it, then switch to a different window (Chrome, word, etc)
and when I go back to AE and do a ram preview it does it all over again even though i haven't changed anything in the comp.
I dont believe this was a problem in CS5.
Any help on what settings i should check or if its a coding problem would be appreciated.
Some specs:
16gb ddr3 ram
AMD FX-6300
Radeon R7 250
Everything Program/Cache is on SSD and the project file/video files are on Ext HDD

Okay it's kind of fixed. (it isnt deleting it like it used too)
i cleared my cache which was about 30gb, but I still had about 20gb of free space when i cleared it
but Now I am getting some crashes and other stuff (colored bars, i already read thats getting fixed though)
Do you think lowering the CPUs used to 3 will help?
Ill update if it does it again when the cache is getting close to full

Saving a speed change as a favorite effect

How do you Saving a speed change as a favorite effect? I've looked all over and cannot find a solution for this??

I'm not at my Mac right now to check this, but I seem to recall (with an old and fading memory) that it could be saved as a "Motion Favorite." Do a search in the manual for that and let us know what you find out.

Downloads of updates not saving, no prompts or icons in the Application folder-how do I ensure updates are saved?

I am following the instructions to download v 6 but receive no prompt to move the Firefox icon to the applications folder. I have done that anyway, but it's not saving-the latest version is July 11. I then get reminders to update all the time-what am I doing wrong?

A lot of people panic when they see Photoshop displaying differently from other software. But that's normal and expected. Here's what happens:
1. Photoshop is color managed and performs a document profile > monitor profile conversion when it displays. So whatever the document profile is, Photoshop will display correctly - unless you have CM policies set to "off" (...!)
2. Other applications, including many web browsers, aren't color managed and will just send the file numbers directly to the display. This distinction is extremely important, because there will be a slight difference. Again, that's normal. Photoshop is right and the other apps are wrong.
3. Without color management, it all hangs on how your monitor displays color. Most monitors are so close to sRGB that any sRGB file will display roughly correctly. This is why sRGB is the de facto web standard: it can live without color management. And that's why you should always convert web material to sRGB. Yes, that's the Edit > Convert to Profile option. You can also use Save For Web to do this if you check the appropriate boxes.

Mail attachments not saving to the folder I choose

My mail attachments are not saving to the folder I choose. When I select a file to save in the mail drop-down box, I am given options to save to a folder of my choice. However, when I select save the document is actually saved deep in some Mail Downloads area, not in my chosen folder. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

What kind of files are you trying to attach?
Is it all recipients having this problem or specific one(s)?
Could you possibly post a screenshot of the sent message from your side and a screenshot of what the recipient sees?
What happens if you send one of these messages to yourself?

Downloads not saving to Downloads folder

Downloads are not saving to the designated "Downloads" folder in My Documents.
Instead, they are saving to C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp.
Tools/Options setting is pointed at Downloads, but the files just aren't saving there.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Files not saving correctly in section of the folder CS4

When I go to retrieve a saved JPEG to upload to an editor, the jpeg is stored in the folder, but not accessibe by "day" some of these jpegs are ending up in folders within the folder for exampe June 2009 . I am just opening the folder and saving it in the general folder.
This is very annoying.
I have just upgraded to Win 7 from Vista.
I should have quick access to the photos by the current month or day-

There is a difference between Save and Save As in QuickTime Player. When you Save after trimming, the trimmed data remains in the file and takes up the same amount of space as before. When you Save As, the trimmed data is not included and you end up with a smaller file.
I don't know why CS5 is behaving differently but it's more efficient to Save As and it will solve the CS5 problem too.

Hello RumDog,
I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
You can then:
Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

STP not saving effects

This one has me beat! - In 14 years of Macs with pro video I've never had a problem I couldn't find a answer for. Basically, Open Soundtrack Pro, import a file for editing, add an effect (telephone EQ), file plays and sound fine, flatten and Save file > open in QT or FCP and effect is missing.
Tried saving as AIFF and WAV - no difference, save as QT.mov gives an empty file, the Export option from STP (Audio file function) is also greyed out. Reverted to QT 7.3 with Pacifist - no difference.
Effects do work and export using the Multitrack function!
Any ideas to try?
Quad G5 2.5, Leopard 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1, STPro 2.0.2

Bringing this back up....
Clean system re-install, FCS2 re-install, 10.5.3 update, STP 2.0.2.
Nothing else on system, just OSX and FCS - STILL NOT SAVING ANY EFFECTS - EQ or Sound Designer etc.
I can't be the only person with this......or am I?

Windows 8.1 folder view settings not saved

Hello, Everyone
Windows 8.1 Each folder view settings not saved what i can do.I
want different view settings in each folder likes folder 1 i want large thumbnails & folder 2 small
What i can do to resolve the issue thanks in advanced.
I don't have any backup no system restore I also try to rest or restore default view settings but none are working for me.

Hi,
This is default behavior. It is not possible to set Windows Explorer to remember individual folder view settings for folders included in libraries. All libraries and its included folders share the same view.
