InDesign CC User Interface Preferences not sticking

You're not my father, you killed my father! I'll never join you!
Help I don't want to join the DARK side. InDesign won't remember my user interface preferences. I switch to light, close the app, and it goes back to dark (medium dark) next time I open. I am on Windows 7.
Anyone else notice this (mis)behavior or have a solution?
Ben Dupre

Bob, thanks.
I didn't install any updates today. Would that happen without consent?
I did notice my recent file menu is also gone though. Is there a config file I can save that can be reapplied after an update?

Coldfusion dev installer wont work - "installer user interface mode not supported..."

i just downloaded the os x version of coldfusion 7 mx
developer edition (for the thrid time making sure the download
wasn't corrupt) and extracted the zip and launched the installer by
double-clicking it. the install screen pops up where it lets you
choose what language and i press ok. almost instantly i get an
error message to pop up that says... "Installer user interface mode
not supported. Unable to load and to prepare the installer in GUI
mode."
umm... what?!
does anyone have any idea what's going on and why the
installer is misbehaving?! thanks!
: : michael

and the answer for others stuck on this...
the problems is an installanywhere bug where if the anything
in the directory path contains special characters like "!" or "#" ,
it causes problems with the install. in my case, the directory path
had a "!" in it... hope this helps someone else out!

Identity managent user interface is not available

when i try to acces user administration i get following error.
A required service for the identity management user interface is not available. Contact your system administrator.

See OSS note 869852 - Central Note For UME Web Dynpro UIs (user Admin in Portal). Topic #5 Troubleshooting discusses some possible solutions. We have found that sometimes, a complete shutdown and restart of the server works. Also, our Basis guys stopped and then restarted application com.sap.security.core.admin in the visual administrator and then the User Admin functionality was available for awhile until the portal was stopped/started for backup. Our Basis group is going to look into this further and I will post any additional info that we find. Would appreciate it if you would do the same.

Various Preferences not "sticking"

Having been a long time Mac user since the 80's starting with an SE, I have to say that I've never had so many problems with various preferences not saving after a major upgrade. It began with 10.4 with the annoying Finder views not saving my meticulous sizing and placement of my icons in a given window. I had to do a "clean" install to regain that ability after upgrading from 10.4 to 10.5.
Now with 10.6, after upgrading, there are NUMEROUS preferences not holding as well as annoying bugs: 1) Finder window sizing and icon placement; 2) sound output to direct to Digital Out; 2) Startup Disk starting up with all drive's highlighted; 3) Start Disk not showing any Boot Camp/Windows partitions/drives.
Those are the major ones off the top of my head.
The only way to resolve this was to yet another completely "clean" install on a brand new drive and manually install all my applications and copy my preferences.
This is absolutely HORRIBLE having to constantly do clean installs. I used to kid my Winblows using friends whenever they had to upgrade or resinstall their OS from scratch. But now in the past several major revisions of OS X, I, too, have had to spend DAYS with a clean install.
I have better things to do with my life than spend a whole weekend and more, on top of having to buy another hard drive in order to do a clean install and copy over all the old settings from the old hard drive.
Is everyone else beginning to experience these same OS X upgrade headaches?
Am I simply to toss my entire preferences (and perhaps Application Support) folder to see if this solves various issues?
Like I said, I have better things to do with my life than wasting it troubleshooting annoying OS X bugs.

The first upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 was on a G5 Dually 2.5. The Finder views not saving was only resolved by clean install. Perhaps it was a dysfunctional machine in some unforeseen way, but it worked just fine until the upgrade.
The next upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 was on a brand new 2008 Mac Pro 8-core 2.8. I say brand new because I just a fresh install of 10.5 and all applications when this computer replaced the dead G5 and then I deployed for a year and with a machine I used for maybe a total of 2 light duty hours over an entire year, did an in-stride upgrade to 10.6 and immediately had these issues, well, how dysfunctional can a machine get with practically no usage and now third party utilities (previously known as system extensions in the pre-X word)?
I upgraded my MBP in-stride to 10.6 and luckily nothing bad to report so far.
Regarding your unspoken suggestions, I already took the most painful of resolutions by starting on a brand new drive and installing the OS and every single application cleanly one by one. So there is no alternative suggestion that you could have had that would have evoked as much fury as the frustration experiencing with individually installing years of collected software, and setting my work spaces the way I had it before. A whole weekend shot.
I tried deleting .DS_Store files using the Terminal, manually resizing the target window in question to my liking, then after closing and reopening, staring back at all my changes lost and a "default" view thrust upon me. No matter of setting permissions and correctly with Disk Utility worked. I've trashed various Finder and OS related plist files to no end.
And to anyone who tells me I have no right to vent, well then you sure don't know much about the good ol' bad days at the dawn of the "web" where flame wars were rampant for those who did not know how to tread the cyber highway.
Every consumer product should have some sort of Quality Assurance check to ensure that certain aspects are as trouble- and bug-free as possible. The user interface is definitely one of those areas I would put a high priority in thorough testing, especially management of custom settings and preferences.
Should I parse my text with the now passe </rant on/ off> explicit commands to help those skip passages that add nothing but blather and spittle to the discussion?
Are have we turned into a bunch of overly sensitive, stuck-up arrogant yahoo's that Windblows flame-baits portray us as?

User Interface Template not displaying correctly

On some machines the user interface template is not displaying correctly (x is appearing instead of the images that make up the UI template). It does not seem to be a permissions related issue, as the same user can view the UI template on a different machine. It also doesn't seem to be a browser definitions issue as a different user on the same machine can view the UI template. Which leaves me at a loss for ideas...

Where are your images being used in the UI template stored? I like to place my images in directory:
<portalMidTier>/apache/apache/htdocs/img
Then from within the UI template I can relatively reference the images as /img/logo.gif

Mail preferences not sticking

I access iCloud email via the web when I'm at work (Win XP SP3 + latest release of Chrome). Recently (as in over the past couple weeks, give or take) my preferences (not showing images in HTML email, default email address for sending, show BCC, etc.) are not sticking permanently. Sometimes I make/save the changes and they stay for days; other times (like this morning) they don't even stay set for an hour. My rules are always there, but the other preferences need to be reset periodically -- and seemingly randomly -- to their default values.
I have deleted all cookies, cleared the cache, etc. I have not tried another browser because (1) it could be days between "resets" and I don't want to have to use another browser for that long just for troubleshooting and (2) I need this to work in Chrome, so whether it works in another browser is more or less moot. No matter what troubleshooting steps I've taken, the problem recurs unpredictably. It is very frustrating because I have to keep a constant eye on the "From" address when replying or sending new messages to mailing lists I'm on (which reject messages from the address that iCloud defaults to), plus with the option defaulting to "On" to show images in HTML email, I'm opening myself up to even more spam than usual.
So two questions:
Is anyone else having this same issue?
Why are these preferences apparently stored in cookies rather than persisting on Apple's server? Or if they ARE on Apple's server, why do I have to keep changing them back periodically?
Thanks,
Brent

As follow-up, just since I posted this message and without reloading the iCloud tab, restarting the browser, or anything like that, the preferences have once again reverted themselves less than an hour after I changed them.

Shared Component User Interface Templates not available for page use.

Hello.
I created a new User Interface Template using the wizard under shared components. All it's supposed to do is display a header image on the page. I can click on the title under User Interface Templates and it will display fine. If I try to use that template, it will not display as an option under Display Option use custom template LOV under the Main tab of page modifications. Shouldn't it be available here for selection? I couldn't find any access grant options under Shared Components that might have explained this problem.
Thanks.
Kurt

Does anyone else have this problem? How did you fix it?

Just started using firefox seriously. my user interface does not look like the one in the 'tour'. please help

i downloaded firefox a long time ago but havent used it extensively because i liked chrome. but recently chrome is just too difficult and if there is an issue i cant speak to anyone. so i am trying firefox. i went to take the user interface tour and there is suppose to be a button on the right hand side to help with bookmarks but my 'version' doesnt have that. was wondering how i get that and if i may have the wrong version.
also....i cant seem to find where to turn autofill on and right now its not working except with the occasional email address.
and one more thing....all streaming videos...tv, utube, art instruction..trailers...all get chunked up. nothing ever runs smoothly. and i am paying to get good download speed.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

User Interface does not load SRP527W

Hi,
Apologises if this question has been asked before.
We have a SRP527W router, and for some odd reason the web interface does not load.
The device has been reset to factory defaults countless number of times and sometimes I can get in but than once you save something you cant get back in.
I have completed the following steps
1. Tested via multiple browsers, (Firefox, Chrome & IE)
2. Reset router to factory defaults
3. Router can be pinged on 192.168.15.1
4. Installed Firefox extention to test with previous IE versions
5. When I managed to get into the router, I ran a restore with a backup config that worked
6. Telnet function is blocked but dont have the ssh details. (tried: admin admin, admin password, cisco cisco, cisco password)
7. add http://192.168.15.1 to the safe list
The odd thing is sometimes the web interface loads and sometimes i just get a blank page.
Any suggestions?

You are welcome
Now that you are able to login, either move or delete enough files to get at least 10 GB free, 15 would be better.
A tool to help with that is OmniDiskSweeper.

Just Type Preferences not sticking/buggy

No device
When I restart my phone any quick action or just type settings don't seem to stick, and I need to redo them...
Anyone else experiencing this?

I know this is an old thread, but it seems like the bug maybe wasn't resolved and I'm experiencing it as well:
My device is the Veer, running 2.1.2. Preferences *were* sticking, but after running Doctor for an unrelated bug (voice dial wasn't working; it is now) any reordering in Just Type prefs didn't stick anymore. They would even revert before I closed the prefs card. I even uninstalled my theme and patches just to make sure they weren't screwing with anything.
It seems to me, like others have said, that they reorder to be alphabetical and with 3rd party apps on bottom. Which sucks when what I use most in Just Type are twitter/FB posts and SMS. In order to get to them quickly, I have to keep only those 3 actions and delete the rest.

Rescue & Recovery user interface does not open

I am using T400, few days ago, I used Rescue and Recovery program to make back up system, I wanted to save back up to external hard drive but I had put the location is C:\, after that I managed to cancel the process to modify the location in Preference of Rescue and Recovery program, but the process does not stop as I expected. Then, I used Task manager to stop the program, easily the program stop after few seconds. But from this time to now, when I start the program, the interface of program does not appear on screen, I try many ways to open it but all fail. I check in Task manager, the program running in a moment then it automatically end and disapear from task manager.
If anyone faced with this problem, please help me fix this. Thank you so much.

Uninstall then reinstall RNR. RNR does not like to be cancelled via task manager.... this creates a mess.
Reinstall may also fix your issue with productivity center..

Notifications Preferences not Sticking

Since updating to OSX 10.10 Yosemite, I am unable to save any changes to the Notifications settings in System Preferences. After I log out or reboot, everything reverts back to default. I have tried deleting a number of plist files and repairing permissions, but nothing has solved the problem. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Aaron

Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
4. Next, open the Terminal application.
Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
5. Close the Terminal app.
6. Restart your computer.
The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

Some Preferences not sticking ie screen saver jump back to random after setting a particular screen saver

I set a specific screen saver in the preferences file, after a reboot, random savers box is always checked. Also when I move items to the side bar they stay there until a start-up after which they have disappeared.
Thx AL

I think that it is something wrong with kernel and graphic drivers but i'm not able to solve it from the beginning of using of Arch by me.
I'm not so sure this issue is software-related only because in my case it seems the laptop screen enters power-saving mode (10-min timeout) on its own without any events logged (as shown by dmesg) so my next thought was OK, I'm going to get rid of this issue disabling the screen power-saving timeout in the BIOS and set it to never power down or something like that and from then on managing power mode manually; ie: when I want to power down I will just use systemctl suspend/hibernate which work fine ... problem is: there are no related options in my BIOS for such timeout.
The only timeouts I have are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to 30min (#IdleActionSec) (commented) by default so these are not in effect because the screens goes blank after 10m which is less than the (default) 30m in logind. Maybe setting loggind to 9m (un-commented) to catch the event before the machine-default one ?
IdleActionSec=9min
IdleAction=suspend
Will check it and report back.

Admin preferences not sticking.

I don't know what's going on, but my admin preference for login items aren't sticking. I have several apps (FileMaker Pro, Daylite, iTunes) as login items if the server has to restart. Each time I restart the computer, iTunes has the agreement screen like when you first install it, I keep having problems with Daylite preferences, and Filemaker Pro won't seem to launch the databases (I use an applescript application to launch the FM databases).
I tried removing all of the login items except just one app, restarted, and they all loaded again.
I made sure that the option in the system preferences general tab to close all windows when quitting was checked.
No matter what I do, all of the apps keep launching and keep doing so with issues.
Any ideas?

I would look in the System (folder) >> Library >> CoreServices >> Menu Extras. Once the Menu Extras (folder) is open there should be several items with a .menu suffix. For a quick test click on the Clock.menu and see if the clock displays in the menu bar. Now if that folder doesn't exhist or nothing is there, please post back.
+(Tip: this is the place to add things like the volume slider, Eject, and other goodies- so don't be bashful. Add by clicking on the prefered .menu. Remove Command drag off menu bar-release-poof )
Now in [your home] >> Library >> Preferences see if you have;
com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist
com.apple.menuextra.textinput.plist
Possibilities of corruption within those seem possible so they may need trashed.
