IChat windows loose data after restart

Hello,
If one keeps a series of ichats open and shuts down ichat and restarts the computer, after restarting ichat the windows are still open but know have a question bubble with the name of the person previously ichated with.
using 10.6
under a previous version (10.5?), after a restart the windows reopened but with the ichats still showing. How do we get back this behavior?

Hi,
In iChat 4 you had "Remember Open Chats across Launch" which displayed the last chats you had.
In IChat 5 you have a different setting linked to Save Transcripts.
Save Transcripts has to be On.
You can then set to Display a certain number of Chats.
This does not replicate the Remember Open Chats.
Last Chat when a Buddy is also clicked in the Buddy List will display the last chat you had with them.
The Last 25 Chats option (as with other of the numbers) will display the last chosen number of IMs from that chat (Or the last chat of another selected Buddy)
(Returning to Last Chat then only displays the Last IM).
Now as iChat 5 is a new version the .plist is rewritten the first time.
This has a direct effect on the Last Chat options.
The .plist is now missing some info about the Last Chats although it can search and display the Last Chat with a Buddy if a Buddy is clicked.
It seems to get better as time goes on about displaying Open chats on Quit like the previous version if left at Show Last Chat rather than one of the numbered choices.
Another way to explain it.
In the File Menu of iChat you have Recent Items.
This lists the last Text Chats and Video or Audio chats you had and Saved Chats
(The Number of items displayed here is set in System Preferences > Appearance > Number of Documents)
It seems that there is a correlation between th Recent Items and the Saved Chats and the Last Chat has to be in both to replicate the "Remember Open Chats across Launch"
It is not a perfect match for the previous setting.
It does seem to improve.
Having said that I played and tweaked mine running though all the option I could think off and then left it for a while.
Now mine seems to remember the Last Open Chat properly. (I may have beaten it in to submission)

Unable to install Windows 7 pro after restart by Boot Camp Assistant

Hello,
I have an issue with installing windows 7 pro 64bit on my MBP 13" mid 2009.
It has 500GB Samsung HDD.
I tried to install windows 7 on a boot camp partition with boot Camp assistant and also during the process, I
downloaded the driver helpers from apple website and burned it on dvd. after system restart, It starts to load windows
files and then asks me to give it the cd of drivers [ right after I select the country and language in the start of the setup ]
I tried to select the files of the cd [ which I burned by the boot camp assistant ] but it just keeps telling me there is
NO suitable driver matches my mac.
I have downloaded the genuine windows 7 and burned it on dvd.
Also I have Lion, Boot Camp 4.0.1
Can someone please help on this issue?
Many thanks,

The partition table needs to be repaired.
That is why the guide asks to backup before you begin.
Try Lion Recovery and check health of all the partitions.
Sometimes repairing or try shrink and expand the partition.
But it is not uncommon for what happened to you to render the drive with smaller HFS and then require erase the drive in some cases and restore.
Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2
Cloning as a Backup Strategy
CCC is now able to also clone Lion's Recovery Partition as well.
Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility

Why 2 Desktop Windows IN Finder after RESTART?

After EVERY restart (whether internal or external drive) Two IDENTICAL windows appear in front
Each window lists two item: 1-icon and name of the internal HD (and external drive if any) AND
2- the NETWORK icon similar too what we see in the System Preferences window for internet, etc.
What kind of setting, where, needs to be altered so that does not occur.
It's happening on two different mac MINI's (to which changes have been made with software, butwhat did what.)

Found answer in another post on a different topic. Reset the startup disc preference and locked it
(had previously restarted from 3 different discs. here's the site/info
Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Mac Pro (previous to 2009) > Using your Mac Pro

Your Mac "writes down" the preferred Startup Disk in Parameter RAM. That is often your Hard Drive, but at times it could be a CD or an external drive. You cannot eliminate the additional choices, and you would not want to. What you want to do is make a selection from all available and have that selection be remembered. If there is a remembered selection, that choice will be highlighted when you open Startup Disk preference.
Open that preference and Click on your Hard drive to select it. If you close the preference and re-open it, the Hard Drive will be still be selected. As long as there is stable power to your Mac, that preference will be remembered.

Restoring windows/application state after restart.

I occasionally work for a guy that is a bit of a crackpot. He almost refuses to restart his laptop, (17" G4) because he'll need to open all of his applications again. He'll have about 10-15 applications running at any given time.
Is there a way to record what applications are open and what document/location in a document is open so that it can be restored after a restart? If there is an application to to it, that would be great, otherwise, I expect it would be an Apple script type of solution.
Thanks,
Chris P.

Hi,
at least the disks must be there/accessible, before the OracleCSService can start.
As you can see in the logs, he cannot acces OCR/Voting disks.
If I can remember correctly, there should be some other service (OracleVolumeService) which provides the links (\\.\votedsk1).
You can verfiy these by using guioracleobjectmgr.exe (which will display the tags) (or was it guioracleobjmanager.exe)...
Still: For all this to work, at least the Windows Diskmanager should see the physical disk.

Sebastian

Safari Minimized Windows Get Lost After Restart

If I have any minimized windows when I quit Safari, I can't make them visible after I re-launch Safari without some extra trickery.
They are shown in the Window menu, with the "◆" bullet prepended, but when I select one of them, the bullet is replaced by a ckeck mark, and the frontmost window loses focus, but the minimized window isn't shown. It's as if the window is fronmost but not visible, as if it were positioned outside of the viewing area.
If I then select View > Enter Full Screen, the window becomes visible and remains so after I exit full screen mode.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? It's obviously a bug of some sort, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it bufore I report it. I have a hunch that it might be limited to Safari 7 and Mavericks running on older hardware. I'm currently using Safari 7.0.4 in OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), but I have noticed this ever since upgrading to Mavericks. I'm not sure exactly how old my MacBook Pro is, but it's old.

Is this system in domain ?
The new group policy is named “Force
a specific default lock screen image” and can be found in this path in the group policy editor: “Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative
Templates\Control Panel\Personalization”
Is this configured?

Loosing data after RenameMbr

Hi,I'm trying to rename a member using ESSCMDQ. The script below works fine -the member is renamed- but I'm loosing its data.Any idea?LOGINSELECT App Db;OPENOTL "2" "1" App Db Otl "Y" "N" "0";FINDMEMBER "0" Member "0";RENAMEMEMBER "0" "0" NewName;VERIFYOTL "0";WRITEOTL "0" "2" "1" App Db Otl;RESTRUCTOTL "1";CLOSEOTL "0";qUNLOCKALLOBJECTS App Db;Thanks.

I took a quick look at the documentation - I have never used this utility, but it could have somthing to do with how you restructure this outline. It looks like you use option "1" which according to the documentation, looks like is Input level data. Is this member calculated or loaded?Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

How to sync iPhone safely without loosing data after reinstall of OS X

Hello,
This might be a very basic question! I recently erased and reinstalled Mountain Lion on my 15" MacBook Pro. I have full backup on an external drive. My iTunes library was not very well organized, I am planning to rebuild iTunes library. My guess is if I connect and sync my iPhone 4 (iOS 6) to iTunes, it will erase everything from phone? Is that true?
I do not want to loose Notes, Apps and other settings from phone, Notes are only on the phone (and lots of them), not on iCloud. Music, I dont care much, I will sync as I add more music to iTunes library. Also, I have an iPad (with iOS 5) which I want to sync to new library as well.
How should I go about it?
Thanks much in advance!
Cheers

Desktop items loose place after restart

Like many users I keep a number of items on my desktop.
I have done this for more than 20 years.
I arrange my desktop items very precisely to where I want them.
Since upgrading to lion, every time I restart the system all the
desktop items are lined up under the hard disk drive icon.
This is almost enough reason to go back to Snow Leopard. The frustration
and aggravation this causes is to much.
I am using a mid 2007 20 inch aluminum iMac.
It is embarassing as a user to have to constantly search across the internet to find answers
to sloppy programming and Apple's general indifference to ciomputers these days.
Back in the OS 9 days there was a little utility that took a snapshot of your desktop items
so if something happened you could put them back with 1 clock.
Maybe someone out there knows what the problem is and can offer a fix.
Shame on Apple.

Most likely a mucked up .DS_Store file in the Desktop folder. Do a search for .DS_Store AND baltwo in these communities and see my suggested solutions.

E90 Hangs after restart.... Requires Hard reformat...

Hi Guys,
Any one faced problems with E90 Phone getting hanged after restart.... It hangs up at the boot cycle..... You have to hard format using * + Call + 3 + Power on button to reformat it.
But after reformating it after i restore my data, after restart it again hangs...
Any one aware of any firmware or software that can help me solve this issue.

It is the orginal Snow Leopard install disk that came with the machine.
Techtool indicates that the dvd drive is working correctly.
Techtool shows Disks 3 and 4 are working correctly.
Disk utility and disk warrior show 3 & 4 are working correctly.
Disk utility and disk warrior say that the raid setup needs to be rebuilt.
In order to rebuild the raid and lots of other reasons using the install disk is necessary.

After restart or power off and on. total recent apps and data(call,sms history) loosing.

i am using BlackBerry Z10 with 10.3.1. OS. 2-3 times i was tried. when ever i restart my Mobile, i am loosing recent apps and data like call and sms history.
eg. today is 25th Apr 2015. today i was restarted my mobile. after restart data and apps are available which ever i was installed before 3rd Apr 2015.
after 3rd Apr 2015, no call or sms history and apps are not there in my mobile.
this same thing was happened from last 2-3times.
so please do needful for me.

To help me better understand I was wondering if each of you can complete the following?
Go to KB36747 and download BlackBerryFix.zip
Run the tool and confirm that it says ‘The fix is not applicable to this device’
Assuming the tool states the fix was not applied, please complete the following test:
Make and receive 2 or 3 phone calls
Press the Power/Lock key followed by tapping Restart
When the device restarts do you see a blue LED?
After the device restarts, check the Hub and Phone app to identify if the calls made and received during step 1 still appear. Should this calls be missing, please capture logs using the steps below.
Open the Help app
Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap Create Report
Tap Save Log Snapshot
If prompted to upload logs, tap No
After completing these steps, using File Manager on your device go to Documents folder by Logs.
Tap and hold the log file (i.e. bbswltLog-<date>.zip) followed by tapping Share and send it via email to supportforums{at}blackberry.com.
If I can ask, what other type of data disappears? If you create a document using Docs to Go and save it to your device memory, does restarting your device result in document being removed from your device?

MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart

Hi, as mentioned in the header : MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart
After the battery drains to 0% the computer switches off.... *Makes sense*
Once I put the charger power chord back in for an extended period of time I hit the power button and then see the login screen.... *Makes sense*
However it won't let me type into the login box therefore having to force a restart and lose any saved data or data open when it died of battery. *WEIRD*
This happens every time my computer runs out of battery. I understand that obviously not letting the laptop die is a good idea, however it seems like there is something wrong as it allows me to login yet won't let me type anything...
Any solutions? Anyone else experience this?
I have an early 2012 MacBook Pro - 15 Inch Screen.

Hi s4mboy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd start with resetting the SMC and PRAM on the MacBook Pro:

Open Link in New Window creates an invisible window (visible after restarting).

When I use the right mouse button menu to Open Link in New Window from a web page it creates an invisible window. That is, I cannot see the window but it is listed in the Firefox Window menu. This newly opened window cannot be selected either by mouse or from the Window menu. However, if I quit and restart Firefox the new window appears as 0 pixels wide (i.e., a 1 pixel wide vertical line) and I can select it (by mouse or Window menu) and zoom it from the Window menu. After zooming I can operate on the window normally.

Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

If you want the shuffle to be always visible in Windows (outside of iTunes), you need to Enable disk use.
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, select the Summary tab. You should see a checkbox that says Enable disk use. Check it and click Apply.
NOTE: If disk use is enabled, you have to Eject the shuffle in iTunes, BEFORE you physically disconnect it. If disk use is NOT enabled, you can disconnect the shuffle at any time, as long as iTunes is not doing something with it at that moment (such as syncing); the shuffle's light will then be blinking (to indicate DO NOT DISCONNECT).
So, unless you want to use the shuffle like a USB flash drive (carry random files on it), you may want to NOT Enable disk use.
