How do i restore default installer settings?

Hi there,
Somehow my installer settings got changed and I now can't install ANYTHING. Someone suggested changing the file extensions, but this didn't help, or at least what I tried. Any way to revert back to default without reinstalling my OS?
Thanks,
Taylor

It could just be a bad zipfile.
Is it just that the files don't open when you click on them in the download manager window, or don't open even if you click on them in there downloaded location?
Can you install other types, like packages.pkg or diskimages.dmg?

TS1717 restoring default factory settings without itunes as both may have malware

How can I restoring default factory settings without itunes on my ipod 1 and ipod 3rd generation, as both may have malware aswell as 3 laptops, 2 mobile, TV snd BluRay Browser.
any advice will be greatly appreciated.
have tried to disinfect with Kaspersky products but the malware just overwrites everything that is put into the p.c. so I need to use just the pad itself, that is, of course, if it allows me access.
theres nothing like a ipad scorned, ask my weary eyes. cheers

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"

How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

I was trying to adjust one of the parental controlled accounts for my child. I disabled parental controls, rebooted, and re-enabled it. Now all the settings that I had setup before are gone. How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

Hi ...
I've found a solution to my problem.
Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
Hope this helps.
BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
(Thanks goes to Pondini!)

How do i restore my iCloud settings after my daughter has accidentally deleted them while setting up a new phone to the iCloud account

how do i restore my iCloud settings after my daughter has accidentally deleted them while setting up a new phone to the account?

Hello Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you need to sign out of your previous Apple ID on your device, but do not know the password, then you will need to reset the password on that account. Since you do not have access to the email with that Apple ID, you will either have to reset the password using the security questions or contact Apple ID account security.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
Take care,

How do you modify default installation path?

In the previous versions of AAMEE there was an option to change the default pathway for installation.
I d onot see this option in AAMEE 3.0
How can I modify the installation path? All my installs are usually done on a secondary HDD.
Also, there is an option to install only InDesign 64bit and Illustrator 64bit versions instead of installing both but I have not seen an option to install only Bridge 64bit. Can this be surpressed?
Thank you much for your input.

Digging through the XML I have found this option:
<Screen name="ConfigureOptions">
 <control name="EULAOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1">1</control>
 <control name="ImproverOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1">1</control>
 <control name="conflictOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1" val="1"/>
 <control name="updaterOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1" val="0"/>
 <control name="deployPathOption" platform="All" machinePortability="1" val="0"/>
Should I assume that I need to change the value to the correct deploy path?
If yes, do I replace the 1 or the 0 with the value?

How do I restore default view

Question in title. I accidentally did something in iMovie '11 and it changed the view to what you see below:
How can I restore it back to the default view?

This is iMovie 10 (the latest), not iMovie '11 (=iMovie 9).
The appearance is what you get if no project is active. If you double click on a project icon or Select File - New Movie, the timeline should appear.

How to manually retrieve Default Client Settings again

I have a question about Default Client Settings in SCCM 2012.
In our Default Client Settings we've added two AD groups for Viewers of Remote Control and Remote Assistance (Administration>Client Settings>Default Client Settings>Properties>Remote Tools> Permitted viewers and then Set Viewers).
When I logon to a client computer and open Local User manager I can see these two AD groups added to the local group "ConfigMgr Remote Control Users".
For testing I removed one of the member groups that was added.
Now the question; How does the removed group come back to the client? I've ran all the Configuration Manager Actions on the client but this doesn't work. It doesn't add the member which I removed. I also waited 60 minutes to see if it would come back automatically,
but no. Of course I can manually add this group again, but that is not what I want.
Or is the local group for Remote Control only filled the first time the Configuration Manager Client is installed on a computer? Or maybe there is another mechanism which takes care of filling the Remote Control Users group?

Today I added a new AD group to "Viewers".
After that, I ran the machine policy retrieval on my client on which I previously removed a group. After I ran this, de ConfigMgr Remote Control Users group was filled again. This time with 3 AD groups. So the group I removed before was added again and my new
group was also added.
Conclusion; if I make a change to the Default Client Settings it will push all the settings again to a client. But if you make a change locally, like removing a group, SCCM won't update this group again. It seems it doesn't do a verify on local settings
unless something has changed in SCCM itself. Indeed it seems to imply a bug.

How do I restore default preferences with Illustrator CS6 in Mac with Mavericks (10.9.2)?

In Library/Preferences I don't have the Adobe Illustrator Settings.
I tried the Find command to search for Illustrator Prefs, but can't see it.
If I were to find it, the Illustrator CS6 Classroom in a Book tells me to copy the file and save it to another folder in the hard disk? This I don't understand.
Thanks!

PA,
When you mean start up is opening Illustrator, right?
Right.
The quick and easy way to restore default preferences is the Cmd+Option+Shift.
If you have customized your preference settings and wish to be able to get them back, you can use the Move the folder way which will save them so you can move them back and thereby regain your customized settings.
For your present use, Cmd+Option+Shift is the obvious choice.

How do I restore default SSL security certificates/authorities/servers?

A website I visit often was having SSL certificate issues. I did not know what certificate I needed to remove in order to get it working again... So I removed ALL of my security certificates/authorities.
I did not realize it would be near impossible to restore them.
Now every website I go to is "untrusted" and I need to confirm a security exception.
How do I restore the certificates/authorities to the default state?
I tried removing firefox and reinstalling, but that did not fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. At this point I'm tempted to just switch to Chrome or another browser.
