I'm using  lion 10.7.1 and ever since upgrading  my preferances are not saved after I shut off the computer. My screen saver is always photos even after changing it, itune always asks if I want to upgrade, even after telling it never to.

When I turn off the computer my preferances are forgot. My screen saver aways goes to photos. Ittune always ask if I want to upgrade even after telling it not to . firefox always goes the upgrade page  a progam I  have to save my clipboard resets itself.

This does appear to be an issue with synergy, but I've also noticed on my C2D Macbook Pro that the screen does not wake from sleep when I simply touch or move around on the touchpad.  Now, I have to hit a button (like return) to get the monitor to wake up.  Submitting a button strike through synergy does not work, though.  Neither does a mouse click on either the trackpad or through synergy.
It also appears that synergy is functioning even though the monitor is off.  My mouse does move to the screen and progress across it (I have a three monitor setup with the Mac in the middle, so I can move it off my left system to my Mac, keep moving, and eventually it will show up on the third screen).  If synergy weren't working, I would expect it to go from screen 1 to screen 3.
So I think there's something up with how Lion detects that the monitor should be reenabled, and synergy is even more affected by that decision.

  • I have a PC with a internet connection through a modem and ever since i have had it i have had no connection to the itunes store. And even if I try to update anything it says that i need to check my connection, but my connection is fine. What should I do?

    This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshooting on Windows
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day —and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues— a software or internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Click here to find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If you have not done so already, try the steps in iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshootingto troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
    Firewall issues:
    Windows XP: If you've upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2: By default, Windows Firewall is enabled. As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so, see How to enable iTunes in the Windows XP Firewall.
    Windows Vista and 7: As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so see, the "Blocked by software firewall" section in this article.
    Proxies can cause issues and should be avoided whenever possible. To disable the proxy built-in to Windows see, iTunes for Windows Can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect.

    If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
    The "hosts" file may be blocking the iTunes Store
    Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a "FixIt" to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.
    Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file but may also use it to block iTunes Store.

  • When I shut off the computer, firefox say's trouble with ending, and then it won't save my bookmarks that i had prior. I'm losing a lot of work why is this? It won't save my bookmarks.

    when on websites, after certain time the computer freezes for time, the firefox commit charge seems to get too high to work properly. When I shut my computer to reboot, i lose my bookmarks that i had placed in my bookmark files. I lose a lot of work. Can i retrive this work somehow???

    1. You're using an old version of Firefox that is no longer supported. You should upgrade to either Firefox 3.6.17 or the newest version - 4.0.1. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ - 4.0.1<br />
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - 3.6.17
    2. When you reboot your computer while Firefox is open, you risk losing data. Firefox has backups of your bookmarks file, see this to learn how you can restore a backup from a previous day.<br />

  • I installed v. 18 on my desktop last night and all worked okay, then when I logged off I had to manually shut off the computer--today no access to programs.

    After the installation, I worked on the computer for about an hour. I was listening to a music video when the sound stopped but the video continued. When I shut down for the night I could not exit normally--had to pull the plug. When I turned it on this morning, the initial screen came on along with all my shortcut icons and the start button. I cannot open my home page nor any of the programs. Therefore, I cannot access anything which might help to make an adjustment or a deletion. I am writing this on my laptop--cannot automatically receive anything on the desktop.

    Can you clarify - are you able to launch applications other than Firefox, or can you not open anything at all on your computer?
    If it's the latter, where did you download your copy of Firefox?

  • I just got a new used iPod nano 6th gen and I registered it, but it will not sync. I had an exsisting iPod nano that I no longer have, but I do have itunes on my computer. When I try and sync it, it flashes 'syncing' then stops. Help please!

    I have looked all over itunes for help, please help me figure this out. I just want to sync the music from my itunes accout from my old iPod onto my new one that I got off of ebay. I have registered it but it will still not work. Is there anything I can do? Should I call Apple? Can I reregister it? Is there some other way for me to connect it to my account? Please help me:(

    The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

  • IPhoto imported photos off of my camera and then deleted the photos from the camera.  Within a few minutes, I dropped my safe on the power strip and it shut off the computer and now the photos seem to be missing.  Any ideas how to restore them?

    Does anyone know where they might have gone?  The irony is that I was about to back them up onto an external hard drive...

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How to fix "OS X Lion user's custom preferences are not retained after reboots"?

        How to quickly fix "many of user's custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or MtLion 10.8.x are not retained after Mac reboots and/or log-offs"?

         If many of the user’s custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or Mountain Lion 10.8.x are not retained on Mac after reboots and/or log-offs, then implement this following QUICK FIX procedure:
    Login to user’s OS X login profile… access & select the Finder pull-down menu Go… next select Library (just user’s Library only available when holding-down the Option key here within OS X Lion + MtLion)… find-select-and move the Preferences folder out from the overall user’s Library to the user’s Desktop area for temporary safe keeping.  Then log-off user and/or reboot Mac… log-in as user, and reset all user’s custom preferences (System Preferences, Dock icons, etc. [OS X system now recreating all user’s login profile preferences]) according to their previous Desktop setup.  Finally reboot after making all new user preferences setting changes… log-in again as user, and check to ensure that all user custom preferences now stays retained.  If all OK, then you may move the corrupted Preferences folder from the user’s Desktop area to the Trash for final deletion.
    *NOTE: Is this above-written QUICK FIX completely acceptable to Apple's OS X Lion + MtLion troubleshooting standards?  So far this solution appears to have fixed a recent iMac user's issues with custom preferences.

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

    I had this and fixed it.
    I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
    After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
    Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
    Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
    1. Quit Mail
    2. In Problem machine, go to
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
    4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
    5. Start Mail on the problem machine
    This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

    I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

    You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
    You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
    You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

  • I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....

    I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....  In addtion, those are the only options I have.  I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two.  Zero options.  Phone works fine though.

    I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
    When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
    Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
    In a word, no.
    If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
    There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

  • Can anyone help me find my old library now that I appear to have deleted it or overwritten it accidentally?  I'm always asked if I want to update when I put in my i-pod and have to do that before I can open my library so I think it was this action.
