ITunes resets after reboot

This has been going on for quite sometime now, but I finally decided to do something about it. My iTunes use to work perfectly, but at some point in time it began to reset itself after I rebooted my computer. What I mean by this is now after I boot my computer up each time and decide to open up iTunes it now prompts me to go through and set the basic settings for the utility like it would after an install. Things like "primary media player," and so forth. The settings that I have set in options and in preferences remain the same for the most part, except about once every other week the program completely resets and I have to set all my preferences and options once again.
I work in I.T. so I like to consider myself a little knowledgeable on subjects like this,but I honestly don't know why this is acting up on my system. I have tried updating to the latest version, uninstalling and reinstalling, making sure the program isn't blocked or modified by other programs, and so forth. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

This should be fixed by reinstalling iTunes.
Otherwise, you might want to consider a free alternative such as these http://ipodmanagers.blogspot.com

Calendar Settings reset after reboot

Hi,
Could anybody please check if you have the same issue on your phone?
Sony Calendar resets settings after reboot.
For example, if I set "Week starts on" = "Monday" and reboot the phone, this settings will be back to "Sunday" (which is the default).
I am now running Calendar 20.0.A.2.5, but I believe this bug was there before as well (even on my old Xperia V, I believe)
P.S. I found this topic, but either I didn't understand the solution correctly or it doesn't work for me... I tried to disable the Calendar app, but it didn't help in any way...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I will forward this internally for further investigation. I will update you as soon as i have more information.
But as a possible workaround, i suspect you have selected a country/region under Settings -> Language & input -> Language where the week normally is set to start on Sunday like English US? If you are in the Netherlands but want the phone on english you could try setting it to English UK instead to avoid this until i have more information.

MSI Control center windows 8.1 fan settings reset after reboot.

I wanted to see if anyone has any information about this. I have a z77a-gd65 motherboard running windows 8.1 and I have saved profiles for cpu fan and sys1/sys2 fans. After reboot the fan curves get reset to factoy defaults.
I didn't have this problem with windows 7 and am running the latest version of Control Center.
Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

I actually did find a response from MSI in a random query.
They said, 'CC is used for temporary changes, use the bios'.
Which I can see the validity of that statement, but at the same time, what if you want to adjust things to a finer degree than the bios and want it applied after restart?
I know you can save and load individual pages of the Command Center, but still..
I do find it VERY irritating I can't set fan speeds lower than 50% for the System Fans. (or is there a way to do this?)

Wacom Intuos4 tablet settings keep resetting after reboot

I am not sure if anyone else is seeing this but on my fresh install of 10.6, I installed the latest drivers for my Wacom Intuos4 tablet and every time I reboot, the configurations are reset to defaults.
I've also noticed that when I go into the Wacom preference pane in System Preferences, along with other preference panes (like Growl, for example), I have to restart the System Preference app.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

This is a known issue with the current Wacom driver and it will have to be fixed by them in an update. In the meantime, you can make the preferences save by quitting System Preferences after changing any tablet settings and then reopening the Wacom prefpane in System Preferences and closing it again.

System Sound Output Level Reset After Reboot ?

Whenever my iMac Core Duo is rebooted, system sound output level always get reset to value 0.56 (-24dB) as shown in utility "/Applications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup". I have to increase the system sound output level to desired value of 0.75(-12.75dB) to match with built-in amplifier of Altec Lansing FX6021 speaker system. The desired setting lasts until next reboot. Is there any way I can fix the system sound output level at desired level between reboots ? Why I have to be involved in such constant struggle with the iMac for such simple audio configuration ?
Audio Hijack Pro 2.6.7 wihtout Soundflower 1.1 virtual audio device has been installed. Audio hijack function of this utility has not been used at all. Thank you for any pointer.

Thanks for the confirmation that my iMac is not an isolated case. In case you are not willing to use Audio Hijack Pro, just use Automator to create an Automator script to set system volume (In Automator's Library plane: Applications>System>Set System Volume) and save it as application. Set this application as Login Items for your account through following menu path:
System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. Whenever you login with this account, the script will be invoked automatically by Mac OS X and sound levels for output, input and alert will be set to user preferred levels. For older versions of Mac OS X (10.3.9 and earlier) without Automator, same effect can be achieved with Apple Script, use Apple Script Editor instead of Automator to create Apple Script and set it as Login Items. This workaround has been working consistently on my iMac Intel Core Duo.

Display Resolution always resets after reboot

Every time I reboot, my monitor resolution in the system preferences is reset to 640x480. This is starting to become EXTREMELY annoying. This has only started happening since my upgrade to 10.4.4 and has continued thru 10.4.5 . Does anyone know why this is happening, and is there any way to "lock" the screen resolution to 1280x1024 (Refresh Rate: 75 Hz)?
Thanks!
EDIT: Thought I might add that this is a Powermac G5 1.6 Ghz.

Is this the only setting you lose between boots? Does it happen no matter how you start up or only if it has previously shut down? Could it be that the internal battery needs to be replaced (see Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM)?

Hot Corner Settings reset after reboot

Hi,
my settings for the hot corners are reset to default (that is nothing) every time I reboot my mac. I have no idea why this is so. Any suggestions?
Thx
JaTo

OOPS! MY MISTAKE, SORRY!
I think those are stored in the com.apple.dock.plist file in Preferences. If you trash it you will lose your Dock settings also. Worth a try though.
Actually moving it to the desktop is a better idea. Then if it is not a solution you can always move your original dock file back and relogin.
There is also a possibility the info is stored in com.apple.finder.plist but I am not sure.

Default printer resetting after reboot in Windows 7 x64

I'm managing a domain with roughly 450 clients, all running Windows 7 Ent x64, and about 50 printers. All clients have the same desktop image with the exception of a few desktops need special additional software. I push out printers via GPO and it was
running fine until recently. The client pc would reset it default printer every time the pc reboot or log off. First, there was only a handful and now it spreads to almost half the number of pc are being effect with this problem. I've tried different
approaches, even completely rewrite the GPOs with no success. The pc would reset to either PDFCreator or OneNote or XPS or Fax. I found that if I re-image the client desktop the default printer would remain default but I'm keeping that as the
last option since it involves with data migrating and probably consumes a whole lot of time (200+ effected pc). Any leads or suggestions are much appreciated, my clients are not happy and they are chewing me alive :)
I must add that setting default printer via GPO is not an option for me since people with different groups or branches are sharing the same building/floor.

Hi,
I’m not able to get security clearance to send these files to public, I apologize for that, is there a particular section/part that
I should pay attention to from that report? I went through a report just now and I’m not sure what to look for. Would you mind to give me some direction? Thanks again

Yosemite Notification Settings Reset After Reboot

I searched this issue and couldn't find a similar question. This makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong. On each of my five computers running Yosemite (brand new and older Macs) after I reboot, all of my preferences for the Notification center go back to default settings. So if I say Facebook should not be in the Notification center and I deselect any banners or alerts, etc., as soon as I reboot, BAM! Facebook is right back there in the Notification center notifying me like there's no tomorrow. This is mostly annoying (unlike my wifi issues!!!), but I'm pretty sure the settings should stay put.
Any thoughts?

Hi there JAS_66,
It looks like the OS X 10.10.1 update addresses this issue. Take a look at the release notes below for more information.

10.6.7 - Audio Settings Reset after reboot & plist missing

Hey all,
I have a mac pro and I'm having an odd issue similar to http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10412664-263.html.
I set my settings on the sound preferences. Once I reboot the sound setting resets. It seems to be a preferences issue and as the article states its' located here:
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > Audio
The files will be:
com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Unfortunately, I'm unable to locate these files for whatever reason they are long longer on
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > Audio or <home directory> Library > Preferences > Audio.
I thought it was find i'll just move it from the new macbook pro with 10.6.7 but that computer also doesn't have these files anymore.
Question:
Where are these files

On my computer, those 2 plist files are right where you indicated. Are you sure you looked in the right place? Did you use spotlight to search?

Trackpad one finger click reset after rebooting.

Hello,
from couple days ago, when I reboot my macbook air or come back from hibernation, somehow trackpad's one-finger click option is unchecked. Thus I cannot use mouse right clicking with two fingers or any other one-finger clicking related feature until I reset it from preferences.
I'm not sure whether it's a bug, but now it's really annoying to reset this every time I reboot or unfold the screen.
hope there's someone know clear answer for this.. lol
Thanks

Try deleting your /Users/xxx/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist file and restart.

Settings reset after reboot of device

Well, I found out today that when I reboot my device the normal way (volume down and sleep/wake), my device totally reverts it's settings. This is includes music settings, to my wallpaper, to accessibility.
What's interesting is it's stuck on my settings I had prior to the 1.1 update..so it has sound check on, the zen sand wallpaper I chose, the equalizer I chose, everything.
Anyone else get this or is this another bug?

You would have to drag them back onto the nano from your library. If you have tracks you got from other libraries, you would have to get access to those libraries again to drag them over.

Double-click speed resetting after reboot

Hi,
Every time I start my MacBook the mouse and trackpad double-click speeds resets themselves to very slow.
I've installed all the software updates, and tried repairing permissions from single user mode, but nothing seems to change.
It's tough to live with because I'm a very fast clicker (drink lots of coffee) and prefer the double-click speed to be set to maximum.
I'm using Leopard (10.5.5) on a brand new 15" MacBook Pro.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
(I'd even settle for a startup script that sets the speed on boot.)
Thanks!

I have been having this exact same issue for several months now. I followed the instruction re: deleting the .plist files, but the problem persists... however... today I discovered something new, and perhaps it might help with the troubleshooting.
I started my machine today and opened my System Preferences to reset my double-click speeds (before my system finished it's start-up routine), but to my joyful surprise they were already set where I like them (2nd fastest setting). I started working in different programs (Mail, Firefox 3.0.3, and Adium 1.3.2) and noticed that my double-click speed had slowed down. I re-opened System Preferences and indeed... both double-click speeds had been reset to zero.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi...
Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that didn't help, since your Mac was purchasd last October, it must be running Lion v10.7 and it's still under the one year warranty.
Try using Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall the Mac OS X.
If nothing above helped, take your Mac to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider.
You can make a reservation at a Genius Bar in advance.

Whilst connected to internet itunes will only open once after rebooting and thereafter it will not open again until reboot. When reboot with internet off itunes will open repeatedly. Help

This problem has only appeared in the past few days before that I had nio problems with itunes. Firstly I discovered that I could only open Itunes once after reboot - thereafter it would not reopen until I reboot again. I have spent considerable hours yesterday talking to the Apple help by phone and tried all there suggestions including of course reinstalling itunes amongst other things. Eventually I thought the problem had been solved when I discovered that I could suddenly open Itunes repeatedly without rebooting. After a short time I then discovered that the reason it was working agai was that I had rebooted with the internet disconnected and itunes would open repeatedly as normal provide I left the internet disconnected. When I reconnect to internet the problem resurfaces. HELP
