Keyboard settings are lost with new keyboard

My apple wireless broke and I wanted a bigger keyboard so I replaced the wireless with a standard keyboard that you plug in. HOWEVER:
All my shortcuts are mismatched. Its as if the computer is thinking I am still using a wireless keyboard. How do I reset it to use the new BIGGER keyboard?
The most important thing I need to do is adjusting the brightness contrast with the shortcuts. How do I fix this? I have tried changing the shortcuts on the display settings and its not working!!!
PLEASE HELP!
THANKS
WES

I have a keyboard like this one:

Although I noticed the F4 key in this link has little clock (time machine?) I don't have that.
My Machine specs:
Mac OS X
Version 10.6.1
Processor 3.06
IMac
I'd appreciate your help.

My wife just got a new iPhone 6 and took some photos then I connected it to her computer and restored it to her iPhone 4 settings and lost her new photos. Is there a way to recover them?

My wife just got a new iPhone 6 and took some great photos then I connected it to her computer and restored it to her iPhone 4 settings and lost her new photos. Is there a way to recover them?

Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.

Proxy Settings Are Lost

I have several Mac clients that run OS X (10.6-10.8) and all are configured to access the internet via the same proxy server.
Within System Preferences, each user has their proxy server login details saved - no problem there.
Periodically (and not down to user password changes), the settings are lost and the users then have to set up the login details again to get out onto the internet.
Can anyone explain why the System Preferences would lose these details?

Library files files are replaced with new files

Almost everyday, when i start iTunes my library files are replaced with new files & then i need to replce the new ones with my backup set

There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

Which settings are saved with my Apple-ID?

Like Weather, Stocks, Keyboard Shortcuts, ... And how can one reset them to default? I mean those settings which come with an iPhone when it is resetted and not linked to any Apple-ID during initial setup. Thanks for any hint and Happy Easter. BR, Christoph.

Copied from my previous post:
Or, turn off Documents & Data for iCloud & the stuff won't sync. Not associated with your ID, per se, but synced to iCloud.
I've just done a test. I added a city to the weather app on one iPhone. A few seconds later the same city then appeared in the weather app on another iPhone logged in to the same iCloud account ID. So there is more syncing going on (not restoring from backup) than I realized. cwallwey raised a reasonable question - what other data are syncing behind the curtain? I knew about contacts, calendars, notes, etc. I did not know about weather and stock data, or keyboard shortcuts as discovered by cwallwey.

Backup restored, but my settings are lost for firefox.

I formatted my computer, so had to reinstall windows 7 and then firefox 5. I backed up the firefox folder and followed directions to put it in the right folder once firefox was installed again. Despite doing this several times with restarts of firefox and the computer, all my settings (Including bookmarks, addons and themes) are lost. I am back to scratch with a new firefox and none of my saved things.

You should only copy data from a saved profile folder that you really need.<br />
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Also if you restore a full profile folder then you need to replace the file profiles.ini as well, otherwise Firefox won't find that profile or you need to use the Profile Manager to create new profile and choose that copied profile as the location for the new profile.

X1 display flickers, grafics settings are lost all the time

Dear all,
I am facing massive problems with my X1 (i5, Windows 7 64 bit). The internal and external displays start flickering randomly, sometimes even directly when booting the system. In Windows when this happens very often the dislay settings are gone, so I have to set them manually again. Sometimes the green power button flickers also, while the display flashes. This happens without any periphery as well as with different external displays. Things that have been done already:
new mainboard (by Lenovo support)
new OS installation (only 5 days ago)
updates of all drivers using Lenovo tool
updates of Windows
One thing that might be an indicator to the problem: The resource monitor says that igfxsrvc Module has been aborted, often shortly after the problem occurs.
Has anyone another idea, what to do and what to look for?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Kigugu,
This is really hard to arrange the display setting again and again, In order to resolve the issue I suggest you to update the Video driver, Power Management and BIOS of your system manually. Kindly download and install the Display driver, Power Management and BIOS update utility from the below mentioned web link as per your Operating System.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT051705
This may help you to resolve the issue. Kindly update your BIOS at last.
Regards,
Harish

Cmos settings are lost when unplugged

Every time my computer is unplugged the cmos settings are gone when I restart. It's been like this since I got it 2 weeks ago. I thought flashing the bios with the latest version might help but it didn't. The battery voltage is 3.504V.

A weak battery can still have the correct voltage and still be bad due to not supplying the correct amount of current. There is another possible solution. Remove your battery jumper and put it back on again. You may have a bad connection. The same holds true for the battery clip. If those don't solve it then you may want to pop for a new battery.

What external hard drives are compatable with new Ipad 4

What external hardrives are compatable with the new Ipad 4 connector

Not entirely sure what you are asking. According to this review (I haven't got one so I don't know for sure) then the wifi-enabled GoFlex Satellite drives can :
The device can stream basically all content supported by the iPad including videos (H.264 video, MPEG-4, and Motion-JPEG), audio (AAC, MP3, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4), Apple Lossless, A IFF, WAV), documents (Microsoft Office, iWork, Adobe) and photos.
But non-wifi drives, i.e. those that require a cable connection, won't work with the iPad.

Mailbox and other printer-specific settings are saved with an Excel file

From the KB article:
"When you send a Microsoft Excel workbook to another user account in an e-mail message or store the file on a network share, with the print settings set to print to your mailbox or to a local
printer with specialized settings, these settings may still be in effect for the other users. If they print the workbook, it may either print to your mailbox, not theirs, or it may try to print by using certain settings for your local  printer.
I have several users who occasionally experience this exact issue with Excel 2010. A KB article actually exists for this problem (KB:829766)
and at one point a hotfix was available. I assume this issue was "fixed" at one point however the KB article was updated in April with
Article ID: 829766 - Last Review: April 27, 2012 - Revision: 2.0
APPLIES TO
Microsoft Excel      2010
So it appears that it's acknowledged to be happening in Excel 2010 but the hotfix was pulled. Does anybody have any idea about how to fix this
issue without the hotfix? I tried the registry entry that was mentioned in the KB article but it did not resolve the issue. Is there any other way to get Excel 2010 to ignore printer specific metadata? We do not want to have to deploy a VB script to remove
this information on each sheet.

I am having a similar issue: Users are saving excel documents onto a notwork share, some are using sercure print others do not use secure print. The users using secure print are saving a document with secure print selected and when others go to print it secure
prints for them. The registry edit will solve if I go to each users machine and add the registry edit, however as we add new users to the company it would be a headache managing who needs this key setup. Is there a way for people who do not want to use secure
print to not inherit these settings? I mean the easy solution is just to have users select the printer properties they want each time they print, but I have come to terms that, that will not happen despite the issues caused.

How to find out if my add-ons are compatible with new firefox version before i install?

Is there a way to discover whether any of my current add-ons will be disabled/incompatible *Before* I upgrade to a newer version of Firefox?
Whenever I've updated Firefox, I haven't found out until After the new version is installed that my favorite 'must-have' add-on is incompatible and there is no viable/satisfactory alternative to it. The loss of Certain add-ons is, for me, a deal-breaker to upgrading. And it's a royal pain to downgrade to the previous version to retrieve my add-on.
I don't know if addiction to particular add-on(s) is common - I figure I can't be the only one . . . ?
It would be So helpful if there were a database or list that shows which add-ons are/are not compatible with which versions of Firefox. Is there such a thing? If not, could one be created?
Thanks for your help!

Firefox 9.0.1 is a real old version and is no longer supported - Firefox 24.0 is the current release version.
Open the Add-0ns manager tab and click on '''More''' for each extension that you have installed. Near the bottom of each "More" there should be a link that will take you to the download page where you can verify compatibility.
Or use this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/ - but I'm not sure how well it will work when you are so many versions 'behind the curve'.

In ios 7, all of my settings are lost if I disable and then enable Restrictions.

In ios 7, when I set various settings under Restrictions (In General-Settings-Restrictions), all of my settings keep getting lost whenever I disable and then enable Restrictions. Is there some other way to 'toggle' restrictions on and off? I want to be able to toggle my restrictions on whenever I give my phone to my child, but when I click on 'Enable Restrictions', it clears all of the restriction settings I just set!
This is either a very annoying bug, or I am missing something.

Well, there's not. Restrictions are not designed to be used the way you want to use them. Again, tell Apple:

Dialing local area code with new digital voice?

So I just had Verizon phone/tv/internet installed 2 days ago. I have FIOS digital voice and I have to dial my area code to make all local calls. I'm told this service is 6 months new and that I will see a nearly $10 savings in government charges and taxes from other FIOS telephone customers.
Anyone out there have digital voice and knows someone who has regular FIOS voice and compared bills yet? Curious since it would be a couple of months before I know the exact savings. I hear the first bill is will be different than the rest.

Mine was just installed today and I have the same problem. You posted on 2/27 and have no posted solutions. Did you get this resolved?
The "solution" is to dial 10 digits. Period. What is the big deal? I have had to dial 10 digits for 15 or 20 years, starting with my original POTS service and now with Digital Voice.

Bookmarks lost with new version. Reset to default. Located old bookmarks but will not open-needs program.

I automatically updated to the newest Firefox version. My bookmarks were lost. I had two profiles. I tried to return to the Old? profile. I then reset the profile to default. I searched for my old bookmarks and found the bookmarks, but when I clicked on a previous date, the program asked which program would I use to open? I tried MsWord but it wouldn't open. I forgot how I found the old bookmarks.
Please tell me 1. How to find the old Bookmarks
2. How to download them.
3. Can I download the bookmarks from a saved data file from my mirror backups.
4. Can I save the bookmarks in a data file in case this occurs again?
5. Did Resetting to default erase the bookmarks?
Thank you ,Robin

To address some of your other questions:
Firefox's Reset feature is designed to retain your bookmarks. However, if your disk is very full or your bookmark backups were empty or unreadable, the Reset may leave you with no bookmarks.
After a Reset, your previously active profile folder is moved to your desktop and placed in a folder named Old Firefox Data. Please check in there for a folder named bookmarkbackups.
If you also had an inactive profile folder, to check in there, you can paste this in the Start menu search box and press Enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Hopefully your missing bookmarks are in one of those two places.
Please do not delete any old profile data until you are sure you've recovered everything you need.
