InDesign always goes back to Default settings

I cannot seem to get my settings to stay. If I have to force quit for any reason, the default settings always come back its is so frustrating. I also always have to open the tabs bar even though I check the tabs in the menu, every time I reopen the document, the tabs bar is gone....is this the norm? I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 on a G5 Powermac.
Thanks!

>The next time I am forced to force quit,
you must make your settings then quite not force quit. When you quit ID thats when the app writes the new settings as default when you force quit ID does not have the chance to save these settings. you must follow the prceedure in post 2.
If you can only force Quite ID there is something wrong with your computer.
first thing I would do is Archive and Install the OS.

MacBook Pro screen saver keeps going back to default settings

I use the Vintage Prints screen saver and always change the folder of photos to the most recent folder of photos I have taken. (I am an avid photographer and take lots of pictures.) Periodically the screensaver reverts back to the default settings: National Geographic photos, not shuffling the slide order. This has happened multiple times. Why won't it keep my settings?

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the password as admin...all you need to do is do the wireless settings such as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
Requests & it will definately work!!!

Adobe Reader V11 not going back to default settings after print

Hi Guys, First time on this forum. Im having a problem with one of our clients Adobe Reader software, They have the latest version installed
When printing they select the options they want i.e "multiple" (Only happens when you change something in here)
Then even if they close down adobe (have made sure the task isnt running in task manager) start it and go to print another PDF it opens to this page automatically and you are required to set them back manually
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Mike

Touchpad goes back to default settings on reboot

I am using Synaptics touch pad (v 19.0.12.95).Everything was smooth as long as i was running windows 8.1. However, after windows 10 upgrade, synaptic settings change to default values everytime on reboot. Everytime I need to unclear the "enable reverse scrolling direction" and the box returns as checked upon reboot..

I found the same issue. Appears to be an issue with Version 19 of the Synaptics driver which loads with Windows 10. Fixed the issue by installing Version 18 of the Synaptics driver that was applied to Win 8.1. The problem will re-appear because windows 10 will automatically re-load Version 19 via windows update. so to stop that happening you may have to disable driver updates in win 10. Maybe this has been reported to Microsft and Synaptics ??? and the issue will be corrected in a future driver release. Clearly it was all OK in win 8.1

My Screensaver always goes back to National Geographic

Hey.
I've set a personal Screensaver because I like it when a Slideshow will be shown on my screen while I'm not on the iMac.
For some reason my screensaver always goes back to the original National Geographics Pictures and I don't know why. I've been searching for this issue on the internet before and in some other forum they said that I have to delete the "screensaver" file from the Preferences Folder in the Libary. I don't have this file through.
Here are my iMac stats :
Problem description:
My Screensaver always goes back to „National geographics“ even when I’ve set it to some personal pictures.

Try this first suggestion from linc davis
Ever since I downloaded OS X Yosemite when I set screen saver to use my iPhotos it always goes back to default national geographic images

When closing browser looses all my settings and goes back to default on reopening

I set what I want in options like do not remember history and font size and do not show download window when installed. every time I shut it down and restart it later everything goes back to default.

It sounds like a problem with the preferences file, for details on fixing it see the [[Preferences are not saved]] article.

Firefox should allow users to maintain their zoom setting when switching to a different page, instead of going back to default every time.

Page text appears very small on laptop while utilizing full resolution on a dell XPS laptop. Zoomed-in a notch or two it looks good. Readable without squinting. But browse to a different page, and its tiny all over again. Firefox, being the best browser on the web, should think about allowing users to maintain their zoom value when going to a different page, instead of going back to default. Just an idea... I know there's alot of laptops out there and if it's hard for me to read with good eyes, I'm sure it's hard for others.

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

Or the NoSquint extension: <br />

Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers

Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers
We have 4 Windows Server 2008 R2 print servers, all of which has the same printer queues installed on them that are utilized by a 3rd party printing program that does a round-robin load balancing scheme.
All printers are a combination of HP and Xerox all running some variation of the HP UPD and the Xerox UPD. Some use the PCL 5 and some use the PCL 6 version determined by age of printer and need.
There are typically two printer queues for each physical printer.
Example:
LOCATION_ROOM
LOCATION_ROOM_TRAY2
The regular queue is ok being left with default setting,
The _TRAY2 queues are set to print to "labels" or "pre-printed" paper type or a specific tray.
From time to time, these _TRAY2 queues will revert back to a factory default state and lose the setting to print to a specific paper type or tray. Sometimes it happens to the _TRAY2 queue on all 4 servers, sometimes just 1 server, etc. No rhyme
or reason.
Disabled Bi-directional options on both the HP and Xerox UPDs per another article on the internet that said bi-directional could cause the printer to send back settings to the driver and cause this issue. Even with this option off, we continue to see
printer _TRAY2 queue settings revert back to factory default and lose their specific paper and tray settings. We have ruled out the possibility that users or other technicians are the ones making these changes so we suspect it is some interaction between
the servers, printer drivers and printers themselves causing the issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start by using one of the print drivers included in Windows for a few of the printers and confirm it's the universal driver that is causing the issue.
HP installs some other processes and services on the machine which communicate with the HP devices.
PML and something else. You might want to shut those down and see if these processes are the ones modifying the settings.
Run process monitor to truly identify which processes is causing the modifications.

Recently I noticed that when I change the name of a photo (correcting a mistake) it always goes back to the previous name, keeping the mistake I'm trying to correct. A spelling mistake, for example. As I keep my photos organized by name and not by date, this is very annoying.
And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?
Diane

Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick". If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

Album info DATED BUT goes back to default

Dear Sony amd Sony Users,
I have been updating my Walkman album information for a couple of times already and my patience is thinning out. Yes, I do use the Download Music Info and it is great for some selected songs. But those songs that are saved through Bluetooth needs to be updated individually. It worked fine for a period of time but recently those Songs received through bluetooth are going back to default. The album cover, album title and album artists are gone. I have to update it individually again. I have been doing it for a couple of times already alread.
How can I save those album information PERMANENTLY? Please help. Thank you
On the verge of losing it,
Sirius.

The way I do it is to transfer those files to a Pc and use a free program called mp3tag and change the embedded info then transfer them back

Music list in songs view always goes back to top...

In previous versions of iTunes, when swapping between playlists (or building them, for example), every time you went back to the music folder in the library, you get back to where you left off.
Now, it seems that if you switch out of the Music folder in iTunes 11, it "loses" its place, and always goes back to the top of the list. It's a pain to have to scroll down to where you were especially if there are several thousand songs to wade through) every time you switch in and out of the Music folder.
Is there a way to go back to where you left off, like in previous versions? I'm not sure using the column browser helps with this if you're building a playlist that spans artists and genres...

It seems to happen in all the other views as well. Very annoying. Please post if you find a solution for this!

CS5 resorts back to default settings each time it is opened. None of my preferances save. Why not?

CS5 resorts back to default settings each time it is opened. None of my preferances save. Why not?

Then your preferences are not being saved.
Assuming you actually quit Photoshop (instead of shutting down the machine) - your preferences should be saved whenever you exit Photoshop.
Most likely your preferences folder has the wrong permissions and the preferences are not being written on exit. What OS version are you using?

How do I get back to default settings for photoshop elements edit

How do I get back to default settings of photoshop elements 9 for edit. I tried to edit one picture and now all of my pictures are discolored.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (cmd+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
