Lion Mail: Mailboxes won't stay in the order I want.

Lion Mail: I drag my mailboxes to reorder them, which works. However, when I quit and relaunch Mail, the mailboxes revert to the original order. And it's not alphabetical; nor is it the order of the accounts preference window.
Also, the order in the Inbox does not match the order in the lower section of the sidebar. (My iCloud account is first in the Inbox, but last in the sidebar.)

Hi.
The problem probably was in incorrect entry in prefs.js.
I had the same issue and that was in my config:
user_pref("browser.search.useDBForOrder", '''"true"'''); -bad
user_pref("browser.search.useDBForOrder", '''true'''); - good
The wrong value set search engines always in alphabetical order.
Some plugin responsible for context searching, has change this entry to wrong value.

Mail Icon won't stay in the position in the dock where I put it

I have a very strange happening on my iMac (OSX 10.5.5). The mail icon in my dock won't stay in the position where I put it. After a few seconds, it moves to the last position in the dock (before the dashed line). If my dock is at the bottom of screen, the mail icon moves to right just before the dashed line. If my dock is on the right side of screen, the mail icon moves to the bottom just before the dashed line. Each time I move the mail icon to another position in the dock, it moves back to the last position. Can anyone help me figure this out - so that I can put the mail icon where I want it to appear? Thank you. Dale

first a question for you. are you using Mobileme? I've seen a number of posts with the same problem by people using Mobileme (which i don't have). haven't seen a resolution to this but you might want to check in the mobileme forum. If you are not using mobileme try resetting Dock preferences. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and restart Dock by running the following terminal command
killall Dock
This will reset your Dock to the default and hopefully fix the issue.

Podcasts won't stay in the order I choose

This is related to another thread I saw on here. But my issue is a little different so I started another one.
I have a 2nd generation shuffle and updated versions of iTunes and Mac OS X (well almost... 10.4.9). I have reset the iPod several times and the problem persists.
THE PROBLEM:
I drag over a bunch of Podcasts. They load on the iPod shuffle. Then I reorder them on the shuffle. After disconnecting and reconnecting the shuffle, the original order is restored.
I even tried reordering the Podcasts then playing one all the way through to make sure the one I wanted to play started right after. It did. But then after disconnecting and reconnecting, the original order was back again.
Something is wrong here. Very wrong. This even happens on my old G5 computer with a 10.3 OS).
Any help? Anyone else got the problem?

I have the problem too...but slightly different. The order that I placed the podcasts in disappears immediately upon my removal of the iPod from its dock. I'll plug in and listen, and the podcasts are shuffled up, even though my iPod is NOT set to shuffle songs. This means the podcasts were NEVER ordered the way I put them on my iPod. I've tried work-arounds, such as creating a playlist with my podcasts in order, and dragging THAT to my iPod. No luck. I don't understand how iTunes re-orders my podcasts; I see no rhyme or reason to it. They're just randomly shuffled back up when I listen to my iPod. This is partiularly annoying with podcast series, dated podcasts (best listened to oldest to newest), and podcasted audiobooks.
Note that this problem does not happen with music. Music always stays in the order I place it.
I'll join my friend in saying: Any help? Anybody got this figured out?

My media (stills or movies) won't stay in the order I pick in iMovie09

In iMovie09, many of the media (stills or movie clips) that I place in a project will not maintain the order in which I place them. For example, I may place a still in the 6th position (after having placed 5 others with no problems) and instead, that will will automatically move to the 4th position. This does not seem to be related to photo date etc. The iMovie just seems to arbitrarily favor a sequence for some pictures. I've tried doing a New Project, and a Quit/Restart - no difference.
This problem is new - I've made iMovie09 projects in the past (last one about 3 months ago) with no problem.

Search engines won't stay in the order I put them in

This is a problem with 3.6, but hasn't gone away after switching to 4.0 beta. Basically, the amazon search box keeps reverting to over the google search box and being the default when I open the browser. I've repeatedly switched the order back to the way I want it (and then closed the search with "Ok," rather than "Cancel"), but whenever I close and reopen Firefox, amazon is back on top.
I know this is pretty trivial, but with web browsers, you just want things to work and not obnoxiously ignore your preferences for no apparent reason. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Closed Firefox, deleted both files, reopened, got rid of the default search engines I didn't want, set the order the way I wanted it, closed Firefox and reopened it, and the order is back to what it was before.

Why is it that my playlist won't stay in the order I make it

I currently teach a spinning class at the YMCA and need my music to play in a specific order so why is it that when i rearange it it goes into a completely random order or it just reverts to the previous order it very frustration, i have disabled shuffle.

Once you arrange the playlist order in iTunes, right-click (or control-click on Mac) on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order" to save it, then re-sync your device to iTunes (if you auto-sync).
If you manually manage music on your device, you need to make this change on the iPad while connected to iTunes (navigate to the iPad's contents from within iTunes) or replace the playlist on the iPad with an edited copy from your iTunes library.

Mail icon won't stay in dock

Recently my mail icon removed itself from the dock. It may be a sync issue because it started when I began using my second laptop and trying to use the iCloud/mobile me sync.
My mail wasn't on the dock in #2 when I started it. I went through and tried to make everything equal to machine 1 but some programs are not the same. The next time I started machine 1, all of the dock items were equal to 2 so I reset the dock items on 1. When I went back to 2 they had reverted again.
Now my mail icon won't stay put on 1. It was removed (mysteriously) from the dock. Now when I put it back, it disappears within a few seconds. If I open mail and then click on "keep in dock" and close mail, it disappears, too.
I have reset my sync data to replace mobile me with info from machine 1. No luck.

I seem to have resolved the issue by moving mail from the applications folder to the desktop. Then dragged mail from desktop to the dock. It seems to have stayed in the dock.
I moved mail from the desktop back to the applications folder and all seems fine now.
I am going to leave the "sync dock, sync widgets" options off.

My macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty.

I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

        <h2>Riding the Cable Cars</h2>
        <p>No visit to San Francisco is complete without a ride on the iconic cable cars that climb up the vertiginous hills of the city. Of the twenty-three lines established between 1873 and 1890, three remain: two routes from downtown near Union Square to <a href="http://www.fishermanswharf.org/">Fisherman's Wharf</a>, and a third route along California Street.</p>
        <p>The cable cars rely on cables running constantly beneath the road’s surface. The driver—or gripman—uses a lever to grip the cable to pull the car and its passengers up the hill. The gripman requires not only great strength, but also great skill. He needs to know where to release the cable to coast over crossing cables and points. The conductor works in close cooperation with the gripman, operating the brake at the rear of the car to prevent it from running out of control on the downward slopes.</p>

            <figcaption>The cable car terminus near Union Square</figcaption>
        </figure>
        <p>Although the cable cars are now mainly a tourist attraction, they’re still used by local commuters to get to and from work. The California Street line is particularly popular among commuters on weekdays.</p>
    </article>
    <aside id="sidebar">
        <h2>Cable Car Tips</h2>
        <p>A single ride on a cable car costs $6. If you plan to travel around the city, it’s often cheaper to buy a <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mfares/passports.htm">Muni Passport</a>, which gives you unlimited rides on San Francisco’s extensive public transport system, including the cable cars (but not the <a href="http://www.bart.gov/">BART subway</a> system). Even a single-day passport ($14) will save you money if you make a return trip, and stop off to visit Chinatown one way.</p>
        <p>There are often long lines at the cable car terminus, particularly on the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde routes. If you don’t want to wait, try walking a few stops along the route. The conductor usually leaves a small number of places to pick up passengers on the way. The California Street route is generally less crowded (but not as spectacular).</p>

My iPad2 won't stay in the horizontal view position

My iPad2 won't stay in the horizontal view position. I have it unlocked so I believe it should switch between views as I move it. Before I make a trip to the Apple store I want to make sure it's not user error!

Unlocked allows the screen to rotate as you rotate the device. Locked is supposed to keep the screen fixed in one orientation. However the function of the switch on the side can be swapped between orientation lock and mute, so it might not be perfoming the job you expect it to. Check Settings > General > Side Switch.

CD won't stay in the drive...

When trying to rip CDs, they won't stay in the drive. I have tried several different CDs. Every once in a great while a CD will be accepted and show up on the desktop and in iTunes, but usually there is just a bunch of clunking around inside the computer and then the cd is ejected. DVDs work fine. I have tried using a lens cleaner, but that didn't help. I fear I will need to have the drive repaired, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a preferences file I need to trash or something before I took the computer in.

When that happened to me, I had to replace the CD drive. However, my iBook would not read any CD that I tried. I didn't find other remedies. Tried the lens cleaner, too. That was pretty much a waste of time and money.
Good luck.

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.
Regards,
