Import settings not saved

I'm running iTunes 4.9.0.17 loaded from the disc that came with my Nano and have used all its functionality with no trouble until now. (I reverted to this previous version due to import problems with 6.0). I can change the import settings, but the changes won't stick after exiting the window. When I reopen Preferences and check the Import settings, they always revert back to the default High Quality (160kbps) setting. My drivers and firmware are up to date. I've made no changes to my hardware or software configurations. I have very little hair left after trying to figure this out, so any help is greatly appreciated. A more detailed system configuration is available, if it will help.

Check out this post from Otto42. It deals with EQ presets, but I have a strong suspicion that your Import settings are in the same file.

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal

User Settings Not Saved

Hello,
I am using the VB .Net Autoupdater for my app, its working perfect however.
Lets say I am using version 1.0.0.10, Initially when the app ran after I installed it I had to fill in a bunch of user settings via a form a created.
I can close the app, re-open it and the user settings are saved, all is good. Now
I need to make a change and now have version 1.0.0.11 I use the autoupdater and it pulls down the .exe file overwrites the existing .exe.
Now when I launch the app again, the correct version is used however I have to re-enter my user settings again.
How can I preserve my user settings without using a Click Once install?
Thanks
MW

Sure,
I'm always open to learn new ways of doing something.
Thanks
MW
Ok, have a look at the code that I posted on a page of my website here.
It's very specific to what you want saved and how it's to work, so that's what you'll see: It's very much customized to what he wanted.
One important part is what you'll see early on:
Private Shared _instance As Settings
and this:
Private Sub New()
End Sub
Those are private, so only that class can access it. The backing field (variable) is shared so that it's relevant to the class as a whole, not to any instance of it; that is -- there can only ever be one instance of it.
The constructor is parameterless and PRIVATE, so that the consumer of that class can't create an instance; that's only done through the shared method meant to do it:
Public Shared Sub GetInstance(ByRef instance As Settings)
See what I mean?
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

Settings not saved correctly

Saving that always a file should be opened with a program does not work correct.
I want *.nzb to be opened with a certain program. I save this combination and still everytime I get the option of an other programm.

The article you provided is not related to the error message that the user is getting it.
Can you please provide better solution? I know this answer and this post is old but I am having same issue.
The error message is only (The Delegates settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed) I was not able to attach screen shot.

Graphic EQ settings not saving??

Hi. I've just installed an old version of soundtrack 1.2 which I've never used before but I'm very familiar with other DAWs and finding this nice to use.
I'm using it for live backing track purposes with 10 songs in sequence in their own tracks and the plan was to have the Apple graphic EQ assigned to every track so that I can EQ each song to sound it's best at gigs. The problem is that for some reason each time I've set them, saved session and rebooted, all the EQs have been reset to flat (either that or simply not saved).
I have now removed all Graphic eqs and I've assigned Ozone to each track temporarily (risking CPU overload really) so that it's usable and the Ozone settings are saving fine.
Can anyone shed some light please, this is weird. (incidentally, the Graphic EQ checkboxes are all checked in effects window).
Thanks- grateful for any help.

Hi,
10 songs in sequence maybe too much, Graphic EQ should can save all the settings.

Outlook view settings not saved

I have one user who looses all View settings when restarting Outlook. Occasionally they will save, but it is very rare. Setting the Reading Pane to Off is one good example of a setting that does not save.
The creation of new Views is also not saved. After restarting Outlook, the new View does not appear in Manage All Views.
I have tried creating a new Outlook profile and I'm told that Office 2013 C2R has been re-installed since this problem started.
Outlook 2013 Click-To-Run via an Office 365 E3 subscription. Exchange Online mailbox. Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Basically, Outlook view settings are stored in the default data file. If the data file is corrupt or recreated every time Outlook restarts, the view settings may be not saved.
Does the user use Outlook with Cached Exchange mode enabled? If so, please go to
C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Outlook Files and check if you have multiple .ost files in the folder.
In addition, you may try to switch to turn off Cached Exchange mode and then test this issue again.
Please let me know the result.

N82: Clock settings not saved!?!

Just got an n82, and I found that the clock settings that I entered the first time when starting the phone are not saved. Every time I turn on the phone I am asked to enter time and date again, which is quite annoying. A consequence is that the alarm does not work either. Any idea on what to do?

The phone itself might be new, but who knows how long the battery itself has been waiting in the storehouse. So it should be checked first...

6303i - display settings not saved!

Hello - I have updated my 6303i to the latest firmware from the nokia site.
Everything works fine but now any chance I make to my display settings (e.g. wallpaper) are not saved, i.e. the change is being populated until the next reboot of the device. Once I rebooted the device, all my display settings changes are lost and e.g. I am back with a device with no wallpaper.
Any idea what is going on?
thanks

The problem came back a while after installing 10.10.2.
However, it does seem to have been fixed by 10.10.3. Hooray.

VPN settings not saved after upgrading ipad

I got an ipad mini so I did a backup of my ipad 3 and restored that copy to the ipad mini.
Everything was restored ok with the exception of my VPN settings, it's a VPN from work and now I can only access that network from my ipad 3, not form ipad mini.
Please help

I'm having the same problem too. I backed up my iPad 3 settings and downloaded to my iPad mini, now the exchange email settings won't save.
The credentials are exactly the same as my iPhone, bit it keeps giving the message 'unable to verify account information'
Anyone else having this issue with the iPad mini not saving settings?

Some settings not saved in Presets file

I'd like to setup my fme environment with preset Xml files
(and with some dirty scripting hacks, we make the app load them
automatically).
Unfortunately, not all the Device settings are saved. There
is a tuner specific Settings tab whose settings are not saved. So
if I want to change the actual TV channel I have to use the GUI.
Other settings (like crossbar_input) are found in the XML file.
Is there a way to set entries that are not saved by the GUI
directly in the XML presets file and make fme use them?

What you're looking for is startup.xml, which will be in the
application data directory for the current user. On my Vista
machine, the path looks like this:
Drive:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Media
Encoder\startup.xml
that's where all of the current UI settings are stored. So
you know, startup.xml is UTF-16 encoded and it needs to stay that
way, and (for some reason) there needs to be a blank line at the
end of the file.
Hope it helps

Settings NOT saved for the iPod, because- not found

I've a lot of regular changes to make when updating my music library on my iPod. But when I'm in the middle of doing so - that is using TAB "Music" (which "Sync Music" enabled) - and checking all relevant playlists, an error appears:
"The settings were not saved for the iPod “<my iPod name>” because it could not be found."
I don't know what to do because the only related articles all dates back to… 2007! That's 5 years ago!!!
Of course I tried all the solutions of 2007, and when I do other errors occur like:
"iPod sync failed" OR… my iPod simple disappears from the list (and even DEVICES doesn't shows up anymore in the left pane).
THANKS for helping me.

Can you post a link to the article you are referring to?
I assume you have tried using a nother USB sync cable to help rule out the possibility of a faulty one? What about plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your Mac?
It might help to remove any other USB devices you have connected to the Mac. Then reboot the Mac as well as your iPod by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try to resync.
Could you provide the full text from the error messages you are referring to?
Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).

Import Settings not working

I have been trying to Import all settings from another project: File>Project Settings>Import Settings.. (all boxes) ticked - then navigate to another Logic Song and Open... nothing happens to the original.
I want to end up having imported the Midi Environment, Audio Environment and the same Arrange Page layout into the new song.
For some reason Import Settings does not do this - am I missing something?
thanks in advance

hi Audiophilia!
this is sometimes caused by a corrupt itunes preferences file. folks can often get their custom import settings to stick by rebuilding their preferences file. (make a note of any custom settings you have though ... the rebuild will set all preferences back to their defaults.)
although it's about a different issue, the preferences file rebuild technique is given in this User Tip:

High Quality Import settings not working

Hi,
Running iTunes 6.0.4 for Windows and have completely removed and reinstalled it to try to resolve this problem.
When I go to the Importing preferences and I try to selet a "Custom..." bit rate....it always defaults back to 128kpbs. I've tried setting the AAC encoder to 192kpbs as well as the MP3 encoder. As soon as I go back into preferences, they have defaulted to 160kpbs.
What's going on here? Why won't iTunes let me use the higher bit rate settings?
