hello, there's a general regression in firefox 27 that won't allow files to download directly into a root drive. please try to create a subfolder (like ''E:\Downloads'') and set this as default location for downloads...

ATI Catalyst Control Center wont save settings betweem reboots

I figured out I could "dim" my iMacs X1600 video by reducing the "color levels" from 1.0 to 0.5, and now my screen is not too bright anymore. When I choose "Apply", then accept that it is still working, it apparently does not write these new settings to a file anaywhere. If I restart X, or reboot te machine, the settings are back to 1.0, and too bright. I did this as both my non-root and root accounts, and it didnt save it either time. Any suggestions?

Yes, it is true that they are stored in /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.
Phoronix wrote:[...] AMDCCCLE doesn't store any changed settings from AMDCCCLE in the xorg.conf or an INI file in the home directory, but in an intermittent location. AMD's driver and the aticonfig and amdcccle utilities use the AMDPCSDB. The AMDPCSDB is the AMD Persistent Configuration Store Database and is a live database that is comparable to the registry within Microsoft Windows. The file where the AMDPCSDB data is written to is /etc/ati/amdpcsdb and is done when the X server shuts down. AMD engineers prefer keeping the display-related settings in the AMDPCSDB so that any xorg.conf changes are minimal. [...]

CMOS Error..Also BIOS wont save settings...

Well, as the title says, i get a "CMOS checksum bad" error on system startup. This never occur'd until i upgaded my BIOS to the latest version, and ever since then i get this checksum error, and also my BIOS doesnt save ANY settings which i change.
Heres what happens, i start up my PC, here a quick "beep" noise, then this comes up:
Quote
CMOS Checksum Bad
Press F1 to run setup
Press F2 to load default values and contine.
I then press F2, and continue.
The BIOS problem is strange, as i said,everything was fine until i upgraded my BIOS. Now, whenever i access the BIOS setup page, and change a setting, then press F10 to exit and save, my computer restarts (after i have pressed F10,as it should), and then i go back into my BIOS to check the settings, and they have gone back to what they were before i changed them!!
The motherboard i use is MSI P4M890M-L
If anyone could help me, i would REALLY appreciate it,thanks!
P.S. It has been suggested to me that my CMOS battery may have died, can this be possible?? my motherboard is only about 4-5 days old...my other one lasted longer than this, 7 years, and still counting.
EDIT: Well, for now it appears to be fixed. I just restored the old version of my BIOS which came with the motherboard and it appears to have booted up successfully this time round, also, my BIOS now saves correctly, and the "beep" noise has gone :D Sorry to waste your time.

I had the same problem after I flashed the new bios in windows mode. I downloaded the old bios which must be flashed from a dos mode. I noticed that one of the last steps in the flash update tool in dos is to destroy the cmos checksum. In windows mode it doesn't do this. Maybe that's the problem

Amd proprietary drivers settings wont save

I'm trying to set up a multi monitor setup
The bastard did save my antialiasing setting (On unless application specifies, default is off unless application specifies)
But its not saving my multi-display settings, if i try to run the administrative catalyst control center console as the shortcut does
amdxdg-su -c amdcccle
amdxdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking 'amdcccle' as 'root'
what can i do?
also just running amdcccle as root (after doing su) wont work, if you thought of that.

Found somewhat of a workaround, not perfect but it partially works.
if i run amdcccle as su and change the multi-display settings, then go into my window manager's display settings and save them (to make xrandr save settings) it'll work
But after doing it a few times my driveres broke and eventually messing with the options in xorg.conf led to kernel panics and whatnot (how can a X11 config file lead to kernel panics upon reboot/shutdown when X isn't even running ?!).
Which i fixed with this workaround.
aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all
aticonfig --px-igpu
aticonfig --xinerama=on
which pretty much made my dual screen display work, with the exception that i can't have my secondary monitor on the left side either because i'm so noob or because xfce wont allow it... or because X simply likes to align everything to the screen on the left. not sure.
Seeing as my second screen is a CRT tv... i can't really live with having my panel and desktop shortcuts on it
Edit: Later on i realized its a better idea to just use xrandr instead of xinerama.

Settings changed wont save after reboot

Any changes that i do in my Mac, wont save after reboot.
If i change the settings on my mouse (unchecking Scroll direction) next time i reboot, it will be checked again.
Any changes that i do to my Finder sidebar (like adding My Main Drive not visible, add downloads and pictures, change the foler view as columns) they are all gone after i reboot. Its getting freakin anoying. I Google for a solution but to find none.
When trying to opening Calender, it says that i dont have permission. I have gone to the application and checked and made sure that all acounts have r/w permissions.
On the Dock, i uninstalled an app and next reboot i will get a question mark, even tho i removed it before it comes back after the reboot.
Thanks for listening.

May sound silly, but are you sure you're not logging in as the 'Guest' user? What privileges does the user account you're using have? Check in
 > System Preferences... Users & Groups
that the account you're using is Admin. If you're using a Standard account, are parental controls enabled?
If you are admin, try resetting your permissions and removing the sys pref property file. Before you do that, backup your system and user data. Once you're backed up, open Terminal and copy/paste the following into the Terminal window:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
hit 'return'. If the prompt returns without an error (as it should), paste this
sudo chown -R `id -un` ~
hit 'return'. Enter your password as requested, but type carefully as it will be invisible while you do.
This will take a while, but after the command finishes (i.e., when the prompt returns), restart the mac.
After the restart, set the mac up the way you want, then test whether the problem is fixed by restarting again to see if your changes were kept.

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

Firefox 4 proxy settings do not save after I change them.

Every time I restart Firefox the proxy settings are changed to "manual" and it has a specific HTTP proxy address and port set. A few days ago I ran AVG's PC TuneUp and it optimized Firefox and my internet connection. I thought this might be the problem but after disabling it, Firefox 4 still doesnt work unless I change the settings myself every time. Help?

Ok I fixed it.. It was my Wolfram-Alpha search engine add on
If your proxy settings are going crazy, open the Add-on manager, disable one, restart firefox, continue until you figure out which one is messing up the settings.

Firefox wont start "XPCOM" message pops up, need my user and passwords!!??

My window 7 wasn't starting up properly so I did a system restore and now firefox wont start a message pops up stating "XPCOM" and I googled it and everything is telling to reinstall Firefox. I don't wont to reinstall it just yet because I need my passwords and username back. I cant find a solution on the forums either, or if there is I haven't found it or I simply didn't understood the solution itself. Please get back to me asap
thank you!

This usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Image wont save as it looks in photoshop.

I'm a pretty amateur user of photoshop, but I've been having this problem with an image I'm working on; it wont save as it looks in photoshop.
Basically, this is what I'm looking at when the psd file is open in Photoshop:
This is how I would like the image to look when I save it. However, when I save it as a JPEG (or any other format for that matter) it looks like this:
The saved image is a JPEG file with a resolution of 500x500, the image I'm working with in photoshop has an image size of 7000x7000. Also, the image seems to produce different results when saved at different resolutions. It's very confusing.
Here is my layers also:
I am also using a Halftone filter set to subtract on this image, giving the image the lines across the image (shown here as layer 1).
Anyone have any idea why this is happening and/or what I'm doing wrong?

There's no reason an image should be downsampled upon saving (from 7000 to 500 pixels), unless you specifically tell it to using the Image Size dialog. The only exception I can think of is if you use Save For Web, which has a number of default settings you should keep an eye on. But a 7000 pixel image has no business on the web anyway (that's w a y too big).
Resampling will obviously affect an image like this (with the line screen) in a number of ways. You should only work on this at the final intended pixel size.

I can't open Firefox and I haven't saved my extensive bookmarks, which contains all my important websites. How can I start Firefox and save my bookmarks?

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, and I use Kaspersky Internet Security. The past week, I've had problems opening Firefox - it has been slow. Today, it just won't open at all. At first I thought it was my Internet connection, so I called my provider, Comcast Cable. But I was also able to open Internet Explorer. I was told that I may have to remove Firefox, and redownload it, but it would erase all my bookmarks. How can I access Firefox and save my bookmarks?

Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode (Firefox Safe Mode, not Windows Safe Mode).
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check out this article:
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
To export bookmarks to an HTML file that IE and other browsers can read, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

After installing firefox 27 "save link as" is not working

after installing firefox 27 "save link as" is not working started a few days ago use to work fine before v27 was installed. please help.

Hello hansram, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.
