Harddisk invisible after restart. Why?

I've search the forums, and couldn't find a topic, that relates to my problem.
I have two internal harddisks in my PowerMac G5. It looks like this, with partitions:
Harddisk 1 (2 partitions):
Macintosh HD (main system disk)
Mac Test Disk (secondary system disk, for testing other Mac OS or Linux systems)
Harddisk 2 (1 partition):
Storage Disk
Recently, I installed Mac OS X 10.4 on my Mac Test Disk, but since then, the Storage Disk keeps getting invisible, after each restart. It happens when I boot up in Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
I got an application, that makes it visible again, but it just gets invisible, when I restart. Quite annoying.
Anyone can help me?

See if Paul Laskin's thread on the problem of the invisible bit getting constantly reset applies to you:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5751668
If it does there is as yet no solution. There is a bug report on the problem, but there has been one on file for about two years now, so don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to have a fix. You might have to resort to the work around of making an alias to the partition that keeps becoming invisible, leave the alias on the Desktop, and just leave the partition with the invisible bit set.

I have set Firefox to never remember history, and 'Stop private browsing' is accordingly greyed out in the options menu, but Firefox still remembers history items even after restart -- why?

I have just downloaded Firefox after reformatting my hard drive so I was not upgrading -- I wonder if I am missing a file which would have been there if I was upgrading from an earlier version.
Not much else to say: I ticked the relevant boxes.

If you set "Firefox will: Never remember history" then you enter Private Browsing mode immediately.
You can see a grayed "Tools > Stop Private Browsing" to confirm that.
This doesn't affect already stored History, but Firefox won't add new visited links to the History.
If you want to remove sites from the History then you need to do that yourself.
You can (temporarily) set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo] to ''0'' to clear the ''Recently Closed Tabs'' list.
Use the ''Reset'' context menu item to re-enable ''Undo Closed Tabs'' with the default value if you want to re-use that feature.
You can temporarily set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0 to reset the Recently Closed Windows list,
However there appears to be always one window left that is only removed if you close and restart Firefox.
You can avoid that by closing all tabs before closing the window with only an empty tab left.
Set the pref '''browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab''' to ''false'' on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config

I have loaded version 8 three times yet I still appear to have the old version even after restarting, why?

I don't know what else I can say about my problem. I got the popup that told me to update to the new version, which I did...or so I thought, 3 times!! But I still seem to have the old version. What am I doing wrong?

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
Filter = '''general.useragent.extra.firefox''' <br />
Right-click that preference and select '''Reset''' <br />
Then restart Firefox

Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
Anyone able to help?

This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
Delete these three files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
Restart the computer.

Responsibility rules : Agent determination only works after restarting the WF

Hi Experts,
We are facing a very strange issue related to agent determination in one of our custom workflow:
For agent determination we are using a responsibility rule with two parameters "Company code" and "Plant".
The responsibility rule works well and returns the agents for all the company code.
Recently I have added few company codes to this responsibility rule in the same way we used to maintain and simulate it . It returns the correct agent for newly added company codes but at run time the agent determination is getting failed and the WF goes into an error because of it. However when i restart the WF via SWPR it works well and the agent determination works well either.
This is only happening for newly added company codes the old ones agent determination work well at the run-time.
Pls suggest what could cause this problem. If there is a problem in responsibility rule then why it works after restarting from SWPR.
Thanks in advance. The helpful/correct answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Him

Hi Rick,
Thanks for replying.
1. Can you replicate this problem in the test system?
Yes I could replicate this issue in test system and it works fine there.
2. Is this a true responsibility rule or does e.g. a function module get called?
We have a responsibility where several responsibilities have been added with two parameters "company codes" and "plant". Every responsibility has a POSITION assigned into it and this position contains the related users.
This responsibility rule is getting called in one other rule with FM. Here in this another rule we are calling the responsibility rule by using the standard FM RH_GET_ACTORS to fill the ACTOR_TAB.
I have tried to simulate both the rules and it returned correct agents but failing at run time.
Regards,
Him

"Play stereo audio as mono" disabled after restart

I've been using the "Play stero audio as mono" option in Universal Access, but ever time I restart, the setting is disabled. As far as I know, this is the only setting that does this. I also have the "Balance" slider bar all the way to the left in the Sound control panel; this persists through restarts. What can I do to fix this?

Philmac88 wrote:
the setting still resets itself after restarting.
Then I'm stumped. I don't know why or what to do.
You could go around the issue by running a script at login to set this option. Here's a script I found on the net:
--script begins
on run
          tell application "System Preferences"
activate
                    reveal anchor "Hearing" of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
          end tell
          tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click checkbox 2 of tab group 1 of window 1
          end tell
          quit application "System Preferences"
end run
--script ends
(It requires the "Enable access for assistive devices" pref to be enabled.)
Save it as an app in a convenient location (eg, <~/Library/Scripts>), and add it to your Login Items. It will run every time you log back in. Note that this is a toggle—if the preference is on, it will turn it off.

Can't work after "reset"--why?

I tried the "Reset" function on the phone, not through iTunes. but then, after restart, the iphone can't work, just got stuck with only displaying an apple logo on the screen. why?
could anybody help me please?
Thanks!

Lawrence,
Are you positive the erase all content and settings option erases the firmware/operating system also?
I did this with my original iPhone once as a test after Apple changed this to a secure erase, and the firmware/operating system was not erased.

Fonts missing from CS6 after restarting laptop

I've installed (and reinstalled) open-type Stone fonts on a new laptop with Windows 7x64 and CS6. After restarting the laptop, why are the fonts gone from the list of fonts available in CS6? I have to reinstall them each time I turn the laptop on.

Nothing to do with Adobe. Some security tool or your system restore is removing them to retain a specific state or you do not have proper permissions to make permanent changes on your system in the first place.

Bridge does not tile thumbnails accross two monitors after restart

After restarting my computer Bridge suddenly quit tiling the images being displayed and only shows one row on the primary content panel.
The only alteration to my system prior to restart was installing DivX. System was restarted after bridge refused to open, and Task Manager did not give any indication of Adobe products running.
Am I missing some obvious setting, and if so do you know why it reset after a restart when it's worked repeatedly for months. I've tried restarting multiple times, I've reset the workspace, and each time I then expand the window accross the two monitors it automatically removes the grid resizes to largest size and maintains the single row even as I adjust for smaller thumbnails.
Windows 7
CS6

on one monitor it works as it did before, just not with the second monitor, which it did before.
Did you besides resetting the workspace also try to reset Bridge prefs by restarting Bridge holding down cntrl key and choose reset prefs?
This is the first thing to try whenever bridge start acting other then before all of a sudden.
There can be many things disturbing applications and Bridge is a critical app in this one.

Can't connect to database after restarting, TNS Error

I'm a little new to Oracle 10g administration. I successfully installed it on Oracle Enterprise Linux. Immediately after installation, I was able to connect to the default ORCL database using sqlplus. However, when I restarted the computer, I was no longer able to do so, even after restarting the listener service.
Here is the error I get:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor
The other strange thing is, whenver I create a new database using dbca, immediately after that I can connect via sqlplus. However, if I perform a shutdown/startup, I get the same error as above. Restarting the listener doesn't make any difference.
A tnsping to my new database is successful but I can't connect to it from sqlplus.
Running the 'lsnrctl services' command immediately after making the new database shows it running but after a shutdown/restart only the default EXTPROC service shows.
Can anyone tell me why this happens and how to resolve it? Is there some other service I have to restart? Also, why does the listener not know of the service when it is explicitly configured in the tnsnames.ora file?
Note that I change my ORACLE_SID to the service name before attempting to connect.
Everything in the listener and tnsnames files was coded by the software, not by me.
Thanks for any help.
Here is my listener file:

(DESCRIPTION =

______________________________________________

I played around a little by deleting and creating databases. Here is my current tnsnames file:
TESTDATA =

TIme Capsule won't connect wirelessly after restart?? HELP!

I plug in time capsule and it shows up on Airport Utility. I enter the information it asks for joining an existing wireless network. We have Fios through Verizon and are running a Verizon wireless router. After seeing my wireless network it asks for the Wireless Security choice. It automatically chooses WEP 128bit so I assume this is correct. It also automatically puts in my password (not sure why) but I go ahead and retype the password for our wireless network. Then this is what I get after several minutes:
"*Airport Utility was unable to find your apple wireless device after restarting.*
The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
Then when I run Airport Utility the Time Capsule no longer shows up and the only way to get it back is to push the little pin hole reset button in the back for 5 seconds to completely reset the unit. I have done this no less than 5 times.
Please advise...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jenn

In case anyone has this same problem and ends up reading my post. I, through the help of a very tech savy friend, was able to solve the problem for the most part.
Here is, from what I can remember, he did.
We plugged the TC into one of the LAN ports on the back of my wireless router. We then set the TC up on it's own as a source for connecting to the internet wirelessly. (He had to go into my settings VIA verizon and pull down some codes to make this work.) Once the TC showed up as it's own wireless network on my computer, we were able to do the back up through Time Machine no problem. We ended up just disabling our old verizon wireless router on the server but are keeping it plugged in.
Hope that helps.
