IDE workspace windows won't stick

I manage to drag all of the windows: e.g., Palette, Server Navigator, Application Outline, etc. to where I want them, but when I create a project and save all, they drop out when I restart the program. Any ideas?

Hi,
We could not reproduce this. Could tou please provide
the steps . Are you "Docking" the window after
dragging it to some area of the IDE?
Regards.Many of the windows disappear when I start up the IDE. Each time I have to click View then the desired window. When the window appears it is often in the wrong place (docked on the right side instead of the left or undocked). I then dock it to the desired position and open a project. If I save all when I exit the IDE, then restart the IDE, the screen returns to the original configuration with missing windows. There is probably a default template file that needs to be edited, but I don't know how. It's very frustrating having to start over every time I start the IDE. Any help would be appreciated.

Bridge CS4: Workspace settings won't stick?

I saved a Workspace based on the standard Light Table, but with larger thumbnails. The saved Workspace shows up on the list of Workspaces near the top of the screen, and I can click on it to select it. However, when I switch to it from another Workspace, the thumbnail size is not what I originally saved (it usually gets smaller, but not always to the same smaller size...) How do I make the modified thumbnail size stick?

You are right, for some reason you can not alter the preset Workspaces that came by default.
Create your own workspace starting from the default essentials. Right Click on each tab you want to remove and choose close.
Drag the content panel to the size you want and choose the size of the thumbnails. Then choose new Workspace from the drop down menu and rename the new work space. You could also choose for the other options about location and sort order which can be very useful.

"Show Script menu in menu bar" setting won't stick

Hi all,
I'm starting some Applescript development, and I'd like to make some scripts available in the Scripts menu. I checked the box to "Show Script menu in menu bar" from within the prefs for AppleScript Editor, but it doesn't work. When I close AppleScript Editor, relaunch it, and look at the prefs again, the box is unchecked. I deleted the relevant preference files from my Library and recreated them by launching AppleScript Editor, but the setting just won't stick.
Any ideas?

Taylor,
The preference that I'm looking at is within AppleScript Editor, the program I use to write new AppleScripts. Script Editor was the previous name of the same application. When I check the "Show Script menu in menu bar" in the AppleScript Editor prefs and close with window. The box is unchecked the next time I open the AppleScript Editor application, and the Script menu never appears in my menu bar. Everything works fine on my iMac at home. The problem seems to be isolated to my MBP. Weird.

Setting default Office apps won't stick

I'm trying to make MS Office X the default for my appilcations, but it keeps reverting to MS Office 2004. (I'm running 10.8.6 on a Mac Pro.)
I've had "2004" on my drive for many years and "X" for 2-3 years. I've pretty much continued to use 2004 because it's working okay and I haven't had time for something to go wrong. Now I'm trying to make X the default for Word and Excel (I never use Power Point, and I don't want to mess with Entourage right now), but I can't get it to "stick."
I tried all the usual things, and then started digging around. I realized that my System Preferences showed a plugin called "RCDefaultAPP" that I must have installed at some point. I did a search ofmy drive but couldn't find anything by that name. At this site: http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/ I found this about removing the plugin: "Drag RCDefaultApp.prefPane to the trash. Any changed LaunchServices settings remain changed, though "disabled" settings will no longer be disabled." I understand the first sentence, but I have no idea what the second sentence means. So I trashed the icon from my Preferencs Pane, ran "Repair Disk Permissions" just to play it safe, and rebooted. I'm still not getting any further.
I begin by quitting any version of Word that's open. When I open the "Get Info" windwo from a Word document (or right click on a document and choose "Open With"), it shows the icon for 2004 and says "Microsoft Word (default) (090513)." Under that, as always, it says "Use this application to open all documents like this one." From there I choose "Microsoft Word (10.0.0)" and it shows the new icon. If I close the window and launch the document, it launches "X" as expected. However, if I open another document--whether or not "X" is already open--it launches "2004." I can do this manually with any document and that document will launch "X."
So, I go back into the "Get info" window and choose "Microsoft Word (10.0.0)" again. This time, however, I click the "Change All" button. As soon as I do this, the icon reverts from "X" to "2004." It just won't stick. The same is true of Excel.
I haven't messed with any other documents or apps because I'm afraid I'll just mess something up. I've looked up "discussions" in both the Apple community and MS community....I've Googled. I don't see any other discussions about this other than the steps I've just described. I don't know what else to try.
Thoughts? Help?

Launch Services can get "temperamental" at times. For a case like you describe, if it insists of defaulting to app A when you want app B, compress app A (say as a zip file). This basically tells Launch Services "screw you - now try to find A".
So compress your Word 2004 app. The tell LS to use the newer Word. Even if it doesn't stick I think LS wil find the newer Word since none other can be found for word documents.
To compress a file, right (control) click on the file in the finder to being up its contextual menu and select Compress. A .zip file will be created. You can then trash the uncompressed original. But before you empty the trash double click the zip to recreate the expanded file and run it just to make sure the zip file was valid (this is a paranoid step). If it launches ok trash the expanded file and now you can empty the trash.

Parts missing on PP CS3 workspace window when opening...Weird!

When I open a 1 hr project the opening workspace has missing elements of the window. If I click on some missing elements they appear. Then if the workspace window actually opens properly, clicking on the drop down menus also have missing elements. Then when I scrub the CTI it leaves a trace of every position it was during that move. Then finally, when I go to File>Preferences> Memory it crashes completely and vanishes.Can't render a piece without it crashin
A bit of histry, I replaced the system mobo a couple of months ago and it appears ok after that. Rendered just fine, but for some reason, it's not working now. I swapped the Graphics card and I have removed and reinstalled Production Prem CS3 2x and still the same problem. I can't edit 'cause the cursor "sticks' to the cti or whatever tool I use. I frequently get out of memory warnings and the system appears really sluggish even though I have a Quad Core CPU. The overall application seems like its running on an under powered under memory machine but I have maxed out the mem on this XP 32 bit system.
Att is a few pics to identify the problem..
Any suggestions before I tear it down and rework it !!??

Thanks Hunt. I think I have resoled the major problem.. I simply rebuilt a
new project using files from the original source. I removed all Media caches
and preview files so essentially starting over. Guess what!! Its not only
rendered a 1 hr timeline but mpeg2 encoded too...with all the pieces of the
workspace window accounted for. I have cleaned up my machine using RegCure,
scanned for virus and malware and cross your fingers we're good to go..
In summary, it appears when I replaced the mobo, elements of the composition
/timeline got damaged even though they appear 'normal' on preview. I was
using the same projects that were created before the mobo change.
Well that's my read at this point. So far so good.. Now I have to deal with
Encore and the disc burning issue... Be nice just get the work done instead
of doing battle wit the beast..
Thanks for everyones input very much appreciated..

Windows won't recognize 5th gen

yes.. I know there are atleast 3 topics about this already, but none of them quite dealt with my problem...:
My computer (Windows) has only recognized my iPod once. I put all my songs on it, and they all play fine. Long story short, my computer crashed, I got a new one, and now nothing on my computer will recognize the iPod. It won't even give me a message of something being corrupt. It's like nothing's even there. I've redownloaded iTunes from the cd, put the latest Updater on... none of it sees that it's connected. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, resetting, and I even had Apple send me a new cable. Anyone got any ideas?
Windows XP Pro

yeah, i read that somewhere when i was looking for answers. the problem with that is that only my C: drive is there... my computer doesn't even see that it's connected. thanks for the advice though.
i just keep looking at the iPod, and i don't understand how it can charge through the computer, but yet it won't be recognized. ugh, i don't even know where to begin. any advice or links to threads anyone think might help would be much appreciated.

Deafult Printer won't "stick" XEROX Phaser 7760GX

When I set the XEROX Phaser 7760GX IP networked printer as default in system settings, it has reverted to "last used" next time I i look. I have downloaded and installed new printdriver since upgrading to Leopard and it prints fine but won't stick.
It might be the same problem but in the Adobe CS3 InDesign Print Presets [Deafult] I'm unable to select the Default Printer (Greyed out)

I have another idea on how to use the old driver. NO guarantees.
For all who may be reading this -- this is for Yosemite -- it reduces security by relaxing sandboxing. It is a workaround, not a permanent fix.
Use the Terminal utility to run the two commands below -
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
(sudo means superuser do - this is your admin user on OS X. It asks for your password - but it hides it from you when you type - for security)

New member: My Settings won't stick; I don't know how to create a signature

My Settings won't stick; I don't know how to create a signature
How can I correct these two difficulties please?

Sorry, not clear. I meant "My Settings" (top right hand corner of FCE Discussions window), not in FCE itself. The time zone setting is accepted but the next time I look it has reverted to USA GMT-8 hours, and some other settings are similarly affected
and by "signature" I meant some text that always appears at the bottom of Discussions messages, saying somethink like "Mac Pro 2.0 GHz, FCE 3.5" etc. I can't see a place to specify that.
(But now I see something has appeared!)
Thanks.

Default paper size won't stick in Snow Leopard

Hi,
I have a Mac which prints to a usb laser, which is on the network. Since Snow Leopard the default paper size won't stick. Every time I print I have to change it from US Letter to A4. It's ok on the Mac which host the printer. Both Macs are on Snow Leopard. (I have ensured that the Region is appropriate and set the Default Paper Size in the Printer prefs.)
Anyone any ideas?

I had a similar problem and none of the above solutions worked. However, with the help of my daughter, we figured it out (at least it worked for me).
Go to Apple Preferences/Print & Fax.
Pick your printer.
Ensure the 'Default paper size' is correct.
Click on the 'Options & Supplies' button, then 'Driver'.
On the Fit to Page menu, choose 'Nearest Size and Scale'
All the programs now use the default paper and size.
I hope this helps.

Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
Help!

With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
/Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.

Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.
Any suggestions most welcome…

On MacBook Pro, trashing anything requires password. How to fix so it doesn't. Also, finder window won't reopen in same place. How to fix?

On my MacBook Pro, trashing files and folders requires that I input my password. How do I fix it so that I don't have to do that every time? Also, finder windows won't reopen in same place and configuration that I left them in when I closed them. How do I fix this?

My guess is that you are storing your files on the root level of your HD. If so, move the files in to your user folder and you shouldn't get password prompts.
Once you close a finder window you cannot continue that session. You can set the default location that a finder window opens however. Click on the finder, from the menubar select FInder/Preferences then click on the "General" tab. Where it says "New Finder windows open", you can select any folder on your drive as the default. My sggestion would be to set it to your User folder where you should be storing your files.

Adobe camera raw window won't resize and can't reach buttons

When I open an image from bridge into adobe camera raw 6.1 (Photoshop CS5) on my laptop, the camera raw window fills all of the screen (top to bottom) and the buttons at the bottom of the window are below the task bar. Thus I can't open the image in photoshop except by hitting the enter key. I can't reach the open, etc buttons. The window won't resize and there are no icon/buttons in the right upper corner to go to/from full screen. When I hit the icon in the top right hand menu bar in ACR (to go to full screen size) the window then fills the whole width of the screen in addition to the height, but no matter what I do I can't get the height of the window to shrink, so that I can access the icons at the bottom of the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

Don't worry about turning aero off just yet.
There are two key first questions:
What is your screen resolution (width in pixels x height in pixels)? Right-click on desktop, choose Screen Resolution.
What setting have you chosen for the display size (Smaller, Medium, Larger) in the Display dialog? Right-click on desktop, choose Personalize, then Display.
