IChat preferences not being saved?

Hey everyone,
Everytime I launch iChat I have to go through the initial setup process as if I've never run the app before. It really just amounts to entering my name and then clicking return a few times, but still - its annoying. I'm runing version 3.1.6 currently, although this problem has plagued me for several versions. This is the only app that seems to be doing this.
Any clues? Thanks in advance

Hi Ralph,
I'll have to check this out on Monday. This is my work computer so I'm (thankfully) not sitting in front of it at the moment.
But I've never personally added any contacts to my Address Book. If MacOS automatically configures a Me card in Address Book as part of a new user setup process then I'm sure that one is there for me. If not, then I fear my book may be empty.
One of the reasons I haven't added any contacts on this machine is that I've been trying to sync it with my laptop at home using dot mac sync. I have so far been unsuccessful and have another open question regarding this particular problem.
Anyway, I'll respond to this post again on Monday once I've had a chance to check the Address Book out on my work machine. Thanks for the responses so far

  • Window preferences not being saved

    Hi there -
    Using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP.  A few days ago a problem started happening - whenever I close InDesign, my preferences for which windows (Tools, Pages, Links, Character) I have open are not being saved.  Takes me 3-4 minutes every time i open InDesign to put everything back the way it should be.
    I've installed updates, no dice, and have deleted the preferences file as suggested by this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
    Any other steps I can take?
    thanks in advance,
    Andrew

    Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

  • System Preferences not being saved

    I've set up Hot Corners with a modifier key, because my mouse cursor occasionally jumps around and ends up in the screen corners, where it would activate hot corners. However, suddenly yesterday (I think), the modifier key isn't being saved. The corner assignments are still the way they were. But the modifier key setting isn't "saved". I tried re-enabling the key settings. I'd click okay in the drop-down sheet, and then when I clicked the Hot Corners button again, the settings were there. Then, only a few hours later, the settings would be gone. It doesn't happen immediately.
    In addition, I was on YouTube, and no matter where I clicked on the Mighty Mouse (now the Apple Mouse, I suppose) I get the right click menu. But where ever else I clicked on the page using the same location on the mouse, it was a normal left-click. When I disabled the secondary button in System Preferences (or rather, set both buttons as a primary button) it worked. But then the setting changed itself back to Secondary Button. What's going on?

    Repair permissions and try deleting the com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.

  • Microphone "Input Volume" Setting In "System Preferences" Not Being Saved.

    Hello,
    While using iChat for the first time, I was experiencing an echo sound. I went into System Preferences > Sound > Input, and changed my "Input Volume" slider from the default 71% down to 25%. This solved the echo problem.
    The "Input Volume" will stay at my setting of 25% during this iChat session, and also upon quitting iChat. However, when I start a new iChat session, the "Input Volume" slider returns back to the default 71%.
    How can I get the "Input Volume" slider to stay at my desired setting of 25% upon starting a new iChat session?
    Thanks In Advance... Dean

    Ralph,
    Thanks for that suggestion. I did leave them feedback, describing this problem. Perhaps it is something that will be addressed in a future update.

  • MAIL preference not being saved

    Recently switched to MAIL from Eudora. Set MAIL 4.3 as default application for sending and receiving mail.
    When I check the prefs to be sure, it shows the default as Eudora. I've changed it several times, but can't seem to convince my machine to SAVE those prefs. I looked in vain for a SAVE command, but if it's there, it escaped me.
    I wonder if I'm using Spam Sieve may be causing the problem.
    And, yes, I still have Eudora installed because I'm not yet through copying the contacts and messages I want to meld with the new ones. My intent is to delete Eudora once I'm satisfied that MAIL works the way I want it to.

    I THINK I may have found the answer. Eudora still had in its prefs the choice that IT should be the default mailer. I de-selected this choice and, so far, MAIL is not changing it. (SO FAR)
    If it stays this way for a few weeks, I'll consider the problem solved.

  • My history is not being saved. Yes, in preferences, I have selected save history [90 days]. I believe this happened with the recent new update?

    Running firefox 3.6.11 on a Mac OS X, 10.5.8. My history is not being saved [or displayed]. Within preferences [privacy] I have selected to remember history for 90 days. No, private browsing is Not selected. When choosing "show all history" under toolbar, my history is empty. Does anyone know what's happening? This just began happening within the last week or so--which does coincide with a recent [automatic] firefox update.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

    I have two issues:
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
    Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
    Thanks!

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

  • I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

    I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

    The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message. 
    The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos. 
    The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
    http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
    If you're publishing to a  3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
    http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
    do the following:
    publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
    use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
    You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

  • File Options not being saved

    I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
    When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
    How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
    Thanks much!

    What version of Crystal are you using?
    Are you a local PC Administrator also?
    Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
    Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
    Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
    You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
    After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
    Thank you

  • Chat logs not being saved?

    I went into my chat logs today and found that for the last two weeks, iChat has not been saving any of my chats. I am now missing several import chat logs that I was depending on, and they are not there. I obviously checked to make sure the setting was still set to save them to the correct folder, and nothing has changed, however it seems to randomly not save the logs I am looking for.
    Any ideas?
    -Scott

    SOLVED!
    I even got my missing chat back!
    See, every once in a while I go though my iChat logs. As you know, iChat creates a folder with the date and then each chat in the folder inside of the main iChat Logs folder. What I do every once in a while is go though those folders and clean them up. If the chat is worth saving, I take it OUT of the "dated" folder and put them in the "regular" iChat folder, and if the chat is not needed, I delete it, and the empty dated folder.
    What happened was, one of logs I was looking for must have accidentally been deleted, as when I opened my Time Machine backup for that date, I found it there!
    So, I guess it was just my mistake deleting the file by accident. And why did it seem that it was not saving future chats? I don't know. I guess no one chated with me in a while, and that is why there were no recent logs in there.
    So just wanted to report back that if you think you are missing something, CHECK YOUR TIME MACHINE BACK UP!
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Table extension not being saved

    Hi,
    I have implemented Table extension at item level for SC and from the config perspective all looks fine.
    1) Created Append struture with required fields
    First step: appending the field to the correct structure in SE11 or via transaction SPRO.
    Structure names for table extensions are according to the pattern:
    INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST_<y> with
    <x>: HEADER, ITEM
    2)
    Path in IMG (transaction SPRO):
    SAP SRM -> SRM server ->
    -> Cross-Application Basic Settings
    -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization)
    -> Create Table Extensions and Supply with Data
    -> Define Customer Table Extensions on Item Level
    Second step: you additionally need to append the new table extension field to the
    corresponding INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST structure called u2018cross-documentu2019 structure. This can
    also be done in IMG
    You can explicitly enter the very same field(s) (name and type) into both append structures.
    It is recommended, however, to first create another structure with the new field (in SE11) and
    then include that other structure in both append structures
    (menu path in SE11 screen: -> Edit -> Include -> Insert).
    Default append structure names in this example are
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST
    when using the IMG path..
    3)
    Third step: Set visibility of the table extension.Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).
    Donu2019t miss to populate the Transaction Type field - you could save the table entry without it,
    but it will not work!
    4)
    Fourth step: Configure Control of Fields of Table Extensions. Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).Donu2019t miss to populate the Set Level field - you could save the table entry without it, but it will not work!
    Fifth step: Configure Control of Actions
    Sixth (final) step: SM30 - maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    I have rechecked the config several times but could not find any reason for the data not to be saved.
    When I add the data to the table structure and if click enter or check button the data disappears. The entries are not captured in BBP_PDICF  table either. i can see the Z structure in se11 for BBP_PDICF.
    I have checked doc_change badi for any issues but could not find the issue. Any idea as where I should check for the data not being saved issue?

    Hello Srinivas,
    Please do this step:
    In SM30-maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    Object set type :TICUS
    Structure field name : custom field
    Object type : BUS2121
    set level : item
    Field visible : X
    field enable : X
    Regards,

  • Notes are not being Saved

    Recently upgraded to an iPhone 3G S from the first generation iPhone. Synced my phone and everything is fine, but when I use the Notes application the notes are not being saved. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

    Ensure that the "sync notes" box is checked in iTunes. Also note that the notes syncing feature doesn't work very well yet.
    If you have a note on both the phone and the computer, and you change/update the one on the phone, the next time you sync the computer version will over write the phone version.
