Illustrator keeps forgetting my settings

I once set up Illustrator (CS5) with custom brushes and actions, etc. so that they load when Illustrator starts up. But since then, I've made changes to the settings, and I can't get Illustrator to remember them. My settings are saved on the hard drive, but when Illustrator starts up, I have to reload the settings each time. I've tried saving the document as a New Document Profile after loading the settings, but it still doesn't stick. Any ideas?

1) Edit these files and then choose that docuement profile when you create a new document.
HD\Users\(user name)\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS#\en_US\New Document Profiles
2) You can also save your libraries and set them to persistent. This method has not worked for me in the past, so I usually use the first one.

Illustrator keeps making En_US settings and preferences folders

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with Illustrator CS6. I had the En_GB version installed, but somehow Illustrator keeps making En_US folders and uses those as the default. Is there a way that I can just have one language installed in my preferences and libraries, so I don't have to figure out every time where for example my user swatch libraries etc. are stored? And if I make a new 'print' document for instance, it uses millimeters instead of points, as it is in the En_GB version.
Somehow I think it might have something to do with a strange update I think occurred. The thing is: I got a message to update and then it seemed it was reinstalling the whole Illustrator application. I don't have the cloud subscription yet, but somehow it looked like that update had something to do with that. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
I can remove the En_US folders, but whenever I start up Illustrator they magically appear again.
Hope you can help me figure this out!
Marinka

en_US and en_GB folders are dependent on the Language you install the software.
If you install the software in English (Universal) then en_US folder gets created, when in English (International) then en_GB gets created and when with Japan then en_JP folder gets created.
It is not dependent on the preferences or setting in Illustrator.
I think that was Mylenium trying to point in the first reply.
Have you uninstalled or re-installed the Illustartor , also did you know in what language did you installed the software ?

Safari Keeps Forgetting Settings

Safari keeps forgetting the setting after I close it down and open it up.It goes back around to the Safari Apple Welcome Page.Reinstall safari but with no joy at all.
Anyone Help

Okay ... it's likely to be trouble with settings/preferences files and so forth. So I'd be inclined to rebuild all of those. Try the instructions from the following post:

Remote app keeps forgeting Apple TV

Good afternoon! Apple's Remote app 4.2.1 on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 keeps forgetting my AppleTV 2 running Apple TV Software 7.0.3. When I open the app, AppleTV isn't an option (other iTunes libraries on my network do appear though). I can get my Apple TV to re-appear temporarily by using the remote that came with the AppleTV to navigate to Settings > Computers > Turn Off Home Sharing and then turning home sharing back on Shortly thereafter, however, the Remote app can no longer see the Apple TV.
Any suggestions for how I can get Remote to permanently remember the Apple TV? Thanks!

ICloud on iPhone suddenly keeps forgetting my password (and other sync issues)

All of a sudden iCloud on my iPhone keeps forgetting my password. Sometimes I'll enter it, everything will seem to be fine and moments later it will prompt me to renter my password. This is extremely frustrating and has happened seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't been tinkering with setting or anything like that.
I'll often be prompted to enter my iCloud password when doing things that have nothing to do with iCloud either.
Another strange thing is that Notes, for example, still syncs correctly but all my reminders are gone. My iPhone calendar is blank now too. All of the apps are turned on in the iPhone settings. Everything on my computer is there, as well as on iCloud.com.
I'm really baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Could the problem be on Apple's end?
This is happening at a really inconvenient time as I'm about to do a lot of traveling and will only have my iPhone with me during this time.
I'd appreciate any possible solutions because I'm about to lose my mind.

Sounds like you are not using icloud, but sync.me app. Why don't you check their support page and their FAQ.

MacBool Air / Leopard keep forgetting file preferences.

Hi,
My MacBook Air keeps forgetting file preferences. I'm an audio engineer, and so I want my audio files to open in the programs I prefer over iTunes. Also, quicktime can't play most AVIs, yet it tries to open them.
I know how to set the preferred programs in the info dialog. But as soon as I restart (which I do about once a week) all these settings are gone. This is particularly annoying with iTunes, as it conflicts heavily with my other software, but I can't trash it until I found a good batch convertor.
I first noticed this forgetfulness after switching on FileVault.
The question is: How can I make my macbook remember these settings?

This information is stored/controlled by Launch Services. I would try resetting the LS database and see if that helps.
Run these commands in Terminal:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/
./lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Hope that helps...

Firefox keeps forgetting the Zoom setting per page...

Hi!
While surfing the archives of the Dilbert cartoons, I have to zoom in on the sunday cartoon otherwise it is too small. But Firefox 4 keeps forgetting the zoom setting.
Everytime I click the next cartoon or even refresh the page the setting is back to standard. This behavior is similar on all websites, e.g. google.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance! wohlgetan

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

MacOS X Mountain Lion keeps forgetting wallpaper

Hi,
on my iMac (Model 2012) Mountain Lion keeps forgetting my wallpaper setting. I set it to show a random image from the default background desktop images coming with Mac OSX.
After a restart but also randomly when waking the iMac up, the desktop background is blue again. If I then check the wallpaper setting, I can see that "Random order" is still ticked. But the checkmark at "Change image daily" is gone.
Does anybody know this problem and has an idea for a fix?
Best,
René

I suspect that there's a problem with the Desktop settings file, so you must delete it. First, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences.
Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, that problem shouldn't appear anymore

How can I make Illustrator remember Magic Wand settings?

I used to have an Illustrator action that selected all shapes with a similar fill and stroke. But since actions are completely broken in Illustrator CC, I've tried getting used to the Magic Wand tool, which basically does the same thing. Except in order to make it only select shapes that have the exact same stroke and fill like I want, you have to select all the checkboxes in the Magic Wand palette and set the tolerance values to zero. I don't mind doing that once, but Illustrator keeps reverting the tolerance setting to 32 and unchecking every box except "Fill Color" every time I restart Illustrator. I even tried setting the panel the way I want it in each New Document Profile and saving the files, but that had no effect.

I have not found a way to retain these settings in the Tragic Wand panel. Seems strange that Adobe would give you a Reset in the flyout menu but not allow you to have settings retain or presets savable. Feature Request?

How do I get loops to keep the effect settings I hear when previewing?

When I place loops into a new track, the effects settings go away and it is simply a dry signal. How can I move a loop from the browser into a new track and have it keep the effects settings that I hear when I preview the loop?

If you drag a green MIDI loop onto the Arrange window space, it should create a Software instrument track with all the required plug-ins for the sound, so don't drag it to an already existing Software instrument track.
If you drag it to an audio track it will convert it to an audio file, so obviously the instrument/fx plug-ins wont be in the channel strip.
If that's what you mean?

How do I keep my library settings the same after importing?

Hi.
I have organized my whole itunes library down to the gritty upper/lowercase characters of the song names (due to my compulsive nature), and want to keep all my settings for later on when i backup my information as well as import it in the future.
When i delete my library (just the itunes library in the actual program, not the actual hard data in the music folder under users) and then import it again, it always restores back to the original setting that was before i edited all the imformation. Is there a way to make the actual hard data in my folders (deep within the harddrive) a replica of my library? (which includes, song names, artists, albumns, composers, etc.)
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer
-Denny
P.S. I don't know whether or not to "re-create" the library as i found on the other support topic. I'm so afraid that it'll mess up my library again!

You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Airport Utility Keeps Forgetting TC

Hi all,
My Airport Utility keeps forgetting the TC.
The only way to refresh the connection is to disconnect from Wifi, and then reconnect the Wifi. This in turn is affecting my TMs and is proving a nuisance. I suspect a Yosemite bug as it rarely happened on Mavericks.
The also happened when using Bridge Mode, and it happens likewise when turning off The TC Wifi and accessing it via my old router which is connected via ethernet to the TC.
Anyone else, seeing or experiencing this?
And following a quick disconnection of the Wifi...

Totally standard issue on Yosemite.. welcome to bug heaven.
There is not much you can do .. but go back to better more stable OS.. ie Mavericks.. or wait for apple to fix their latest greatest OS.

Illustrator keeps saying "Can't save illustration" and this assignment is due tomorrow - I'm worried

Illustrator keeps saying "Can't save illustration" and this assignment is due tomorrow - I'm worried

I ended up on the phone with Adobe support last evening. They told me due to the theft of subscriber / customer information from Adobe I needd to reset my password and reboot my computer. I ended up loosing the data in the clipboard however resetting my password and rebooting solved the problem. Rebuilding my work always seems to go smoother the second time through so I finised my homework none the less. As for equipment, I use a Sony Vaio SVS15127PXB iCore 7 Laptop and a Dell 23" Touchscreen Monitor.

Hello! It would be nice to have a migration script in Bridge too...
In the past, there were folders you could copy, but given the database changes, I'm not sure, I need to check first with the team.
On a Mac, it is in the collections folders in ~Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections/
PC(XP): C:Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS5\collections
VIsta/7: user/app data/roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections
Hope this helps

When upgrading no files are copied from the previous version. So you will have to find them and copy them over. Locations are in post above.
