MacOS X Mountain Lion keeps forgetting wallpaper

Hi,
on my iMac (Model 2012) Mountain Lion keeps forgetting my wallpaper setting. I set it to show a random image from the default background desktop images coming with Mac OSX.
After a restart but also randomly when waking the iMac up, the desktop background is blue again. If I then check the wallpaper setting, I can see that "Random order" is still ticked. But the checkmark at "Change image daily" is gone.
Does anybody know this problem and has an idea for a fix?
Best,
René

I suspect that there's a problem with the Desktop settings file, so you must delete it. First, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences.
Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, that problem shouldn't appear anymore

Firefox keeps forgetting the Zoom setting per page...

Hi!
While surfing the archives of the Dilbert cartoons, I have to zoom in on the sunday cartoon otherwise it is too small. But Firefox 4 keeps forgetting the zoom setting.
Everytime I click the next cartoon or even refresh the page the setting is back to standard. This behavior is similar on all websites, e.g. google.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance! wohlgetan

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

Wireless MM,keep forgetting to close flap on bottom-am I wasting batteries?

Hi I'm new to Mac so please be gentle!!
When I shut down my iMac I keep forgetting to close the flap on my Wireless Mighty Mouse. I know your supposed to do this to switch off the MM.
Am I wasting batteries by not doing this? as I say the iMac is shut down and the Mm is not moved?
Should I close the flap everytime Im finished? what about when you go into sleep mode? should you close the flap/switch off Mm then as well?
cheers

Hello loc-man:
Here comes a gentle reply!
Apple wireless devices go into a very low power mode after a brief period of non-use. I never shut mine off unless I am shutting the computer down (only done when I am gone for several days).
Something I have found to be helpful is using rechargeable batteries. I use 2650 Duracell ones and I have an Energizer 15 minute recharger (both obtained very reasonably on eBay). In that way, I am never more than 15 minutes away from new batteries and it is environmentally sensitive to boot.

Remote app keeps forgeting Apple TV

Good afternoon! Apple's Remote app 4.2.1 on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 keeps forgetting my AppleTV 2 running Apple TV Software 7.0.3. When I open the app, AppleTV isn't an option (other iTunes libraries on my network do appear though). I can get my Apple TV to re-appear temporarily by using the remote that came with the AppleTV to navigate to Settings > Computers > Turn Off Home Sharing and then turning home sharing back on Shortly thereafter, however, the Remote app can no longer see the Apple TV.
Any suggestions for how I can get Remote to permanently remember the Apple TV? Thanks!

ICloud on iPhone suddenly keeps forgetting my password (and other sync issues)

All of a sudden iCloud on my iPhone keeps forgetting my password. Sometimes I'll enter it, everything will seem to be fine and moments later it will prompt me to renter my password. This is extremely frustrating and has happened seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't been tinkering with setting or anything like that.
I'll often be prompted to enter my iCloud password when doing things that have nothing to do with iCloud either.
Another strange thing is that Notes, for example, still syncs correctly but all my reminders are gone. My iPhone calendar is blank now too. All of the apps are turned on in the iPhone settings. Everything on my computer is there, as well as on iCloud.com.
I'm really baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Could the problem be on Apple's end?
This is happening at a really inconvenient time as I'm about to do a lot of traveling and will only have my iPhone with me during this time.
I'd appreciate any possible solutions because I'm about to lose my mind.

Sounds like you are not using icloud, but sync.me app. Why don't you check their support page and their FAQ.

Airport Utility Keeps Forgetting TC

Hi all,
My Airport Utility keeps forgetting the TC.
The only way to refresh the connection is to disconnect from Wifi, and then reconnect the Wifi. This in turn is affecting my TMs and is proving a nuisance. I suspect a Yosemite bug as it rarely happened on Mavericks.
The also happened when using Bridge Mode, and it happens likewise when turning off The TC Wifi and accessing it via my old router which is connected via ethernet to the TC.
Anyone else, seeing or experiencing this?
And following a quick disconnection of the Wifi...

Totally standard issue on Yosemite.. welcome to bug heaven.
There is not much you can do .. but go back to better more stable OS.. ie Mavericks.. or wait for apple to fix their latest greatest OS.

MacBool Air / Leopard keep forgetting file preferences.

Hi,
My MacBook Air keeps forgetting file preferences. I'm an audio engineer, and so I want my audio files to open in the programs I prefer over iTunes. Also, quicktime can't play most AVIs, yet it tries to open them.
I know how to set the preferred programs in the info dialog. But as soon as I restart (which I do about once a week) all these settings are gone. This is particularly annoying with iTunes, as it conflicts heavily with my other software, but I can't trash it until I found a good batch convertor.
I first noticed this forgetfulness after switching on FileVault.
The question is: How can I make my macbook remember these settings?

This information is stored/controlled by Launch Services. I would try resetting the LS database and see if that helps.
Run these commands in Terminal:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/
./lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Hope that helps...

Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now, no joy (have new iMac May 2012)

Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now with resumes and restarts, no joy (have new iMac May 2012). Any ideas, please?
Thanks, bb2804

In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
Would that work out for you?

IPod keeps forgetting it's configuration

My iPod 15GB with dock connector (no click wheel) keeps forgetting it's configuration if not used for a few days.
The battery is fully charged; often the iPod is in the dock with power continuously connected.
When switching on, the iPod displays the Apple logo for about half a minute. Afterwards it comes back with the default configuration (English language, no backlight, by far too low contrast -- almost unreadable, etc.). At least the music library is kept
I'm using iTunes 6; the iPod is updated to 2.3
PC Windows XP iPod

I hope you get a reply soon this is driving me crazy. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and that seemed to fix it for a couple of days, but it's back on bad behavior now. Really, really aggravating.

My imac running Lion keeps dropping the Internet.

My imac running Lion keeps dropping the Internet. Sometimes just switching the wi-fi off and on corrects this but sometimes there it says no ip address. I have found restarting router sorts the no ip address. Help can I do something to stop this. Thanks simon

Your profile shows you're using SL, but you posted it in the Lion forum. So, assuming you're using Lion, I've seen posts where creating a new Network Location and adding a different named wi-fi connection has help others with this problem.
You can also check your router for firmware updates.
Many posts on this topic. Search forums for other possibilities.

Safari Keeps Forgetting Settings

Safari keeps forgetting the setting after I close it down and open it up.It goes back around to the Safari Apple Welcome Page.Reinstall safari but with no joy at all.
Anyone Help

Okay ... it's likely to be trouble with settings/preferences files and so forth. So I'd be inclined to rebuild all of those. Try the instructions from the following post:

Lion keeps Resetting things that were deleted!!

I am having problems. After every restart, Lion keeps loading my menubar apps that were deleted. Also, I've made Chrome my default browser but after every restart, it asks me do I want to set it as my default browser. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items and uncheck them or delete them.
If you menu bar is still acting up then in Finder on your "Go" menu and paste this
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
then delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
The in your "Go" menu
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
Find and delete these files/com.apple.systemuiserver.0017f2c28128.plist and any other numbers
Log out and back in or restart.
This resets the menu bar menu extras on the right hand side to default.

Lion keeps crashing

lion keeps crashing. have run utilities and keep coming back with same repairs. mouse is jumping all over screen.

Thanks for the info, according to the Parallel website I was on a Lion supported version. They state build #12094 (http://kb.parallels.com/en/111612) as supported, but they conveniently keep pointing to Version 7. Perhaps my build 102106 is still not a full patch.
Removed SyncMate and will try the combo updater.
Appreciate the pointer.
Even without Parallel and before I installed SyncMate, it was crashing. I think I have a lemon.
Testing my patience and MAC love factor.
Thanks again.
