FCP 7 keeps losing my user preferences.

Every few days I have to go back and reset them. Any idea why they won't store permanently? I'm on a Mac Pro running 10.6.8

Could be a problem on your startup disk. Boot off your OS install disk and repair the startup disk. If you've got DiskWarrior, boot of that and repair the startup disk.

Apple Configurator keeps losing Backup (user)

I assign an iPad to a user, and test checking out and in a few times and all works well, then after a while when I next check it in I will get a message saying the backup is missing and it gives a long string of numbers.
To be able to check out for the user again I have to delete the user and recreate it, losing all of their data.
This has happened on two different computers, I set it up on one and when it started happening I wiped everything and started again on another Mac, but its happening again, and not just for one user it happens for them all

Open System Preferences (from the dock, or under the Apple icon in the menu bar).
Choose "Network". Then choose "Assist me ..." on the bottom. Then choose "Assistant ...". It should help.

Keep losing site info

Since I reinstalled DW 8 after a round with (presumably) conficker causing me to reformat, reinstall Windows, Dreamweaver keeps losing my user name and password to one site, even though the save box is checked. It may last 2 or 3 times, but eventually the information comes up missing. Any ideas, Folks?

Thanks, Ace. I appreciate your speedy response.

FCP user preference question

I got a project from overseas, gotta fly there to edit a video. they provide my basic facilities.
I used to edit on my own machine....because the short cuts and whole the favorite effects and transitions that I saved in my FCP.
So my question is, since I gonna shift my FCP user preference files to another FCP, do they affect other editor's preferences. I am pretty sure on the FCP, there are lots of preference settings that other editors made.
in particular, let's say my shiftcontrol2 is 3 ways color correction tool, but on the computer that I am going to use might not be the color 3 ways, it might be some other functions...
can i just save their preference in a folder, and put my preference in , and after i am done, and put back their preference..?
thanks for your advice and suggestion in advance,
your help is highly appreciated

You can use FCP Rescue to backup FCP preferences file and restore it later:

Or you can do it manually:

Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

When you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules.

I keep losing my Selection arrow functionalities on documents I've converted from CS2 to CS6. I reinstall preferences and it works for a few minutes but all is lost again. What to do?

What OS?
Id you still have CS2 installed someplace, export the original files as .inx (InDesign Interchange) and convert that instead of the .indd.

User preferences keep on changing

Hi,
All of a sudden, some of our users are loosing their preferences continiously. The worse part is columns shown and the order that they appear.
It's very hard to work this way as columns go to a strange order and you see the wrong columns. No patch has been installed and only minor changes have been made to our add-on, which in no case works with user preferences.
Thanks!

Hi Sergi,
We have the same problem. But it is not easy to know in what circunstances happens this configuration loose.
One known scenario for this behavior is this:
One User logs using User A. Another user logs using User A.
Firs user makes some configuration changes and Closes B1 (this is the moment when B1 saves the configuration). Then Second user closes B1. This saves the configuration, and changes made by the first user are lost.
Another times, when an error happens and B1 is closed, looks like the configuration is reseted.
I haven´t get any good answer from SAP about this issue.
Try putting a message and good luck.
Hope helps,
Ibai Peñ

Address Book in Tiger 10.4.3 keeps losing track of the data file

Address Book in Tiger 10.4.3 keeps losing track of the data file associated with it and creates a new file without the data I used to have.
Any methodology to follow to correct this issue?

I think Import would be better, or Migration Assistant, I'm thinking AB changed formats from 10.3 to 10.4, but the stuff for 10.4 For Address Book...

Then why are you even asking here. Obviously you know Verizion could never possibly have network issues.
Every network has issues from time to time, no network, company, or person is perfect.
Try basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide and contact Verizon to ensure they are not having issues.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

AA3 keeps losing Audio Hardware Setup settings...

I work in a broadcast center with a number of AA3 machines that keep losing their Audio Hardware Setup settings. It keeps switching from the LynxONE drivers to Audition 3.0 Windows Sound. I can find no documentation on this.
I've found that the trigger is when AA3 has "release ASIO driver in background" NOT checked, and the user minimizes it and plays something from another audio program. Then they have to go in and set it back again before AA3 will pass audio again.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

In the Options menu. Device Properties. Then you have tabs for Wave In and Wave Out amongst others. Also you may need to also set Device Order from the same Options menu.

Mac Mini keeps losing iTunes authorization

I have a Mac Mini that keeps losing its authorization to play new iTunes content. Each time I try to use it, I have to deauthorize it and then reauthorize it to play the content
My iTunes content is stored and shared from another PC. So when I fire up the Mac Mini, I select my shared library. Then when I try to play new content, that's when it tells me the computer is not authorized to play the content. After deauthorizing it and then reauthorizing it, the new content will play.
This problem only occurs with new content that has been downloaded since the last time I used the Mac Mini. Existing content plays just fine.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks!

This normally happens when your neighbor and you are using the same WiFi channel. Try changing the default channel in System Preferences -> Network.

Why does my trackpad keep losing connection

why does my trackpad keep losing connection

I am using Mountain Lion on a 2011 Macbook Pro and this is happening to me.
The notebook never used to drop the connection on Snow Leopard or Lion as far as I can remember. At first it was fine on Mountain Lion as well I think, but after the last couple updates the connection to the trackpad is gone when it wakes from sleep. Dropping down to Bluetooth and choosing connect does not help. It must be deleted and repaired each time under sytem preferences and bluetooth settings. Batteries are fine, Apple rechargables, lights up green when tap button. I also have an Apple keyboard used for this notebook and that never loses connection. Just the trackpad, and only after the most recent updates the past month or so. It pairs fine at first, then the connection is gone and I can't get it back without very inconvenient deleting and repairing.
I seem to remember it happening shortly after a long update. I am currently on 10.8.2.
