MAIL preference not being saved

Recently switched to MAIL from Eudora. Set MAIL 4.3 as default application for sending and receiving mail.
When I check the prefs to be sure, it shows the default as Eudora. I've changed it several times, but can't seem to convince my machine to SAVE those prefs. I looked in vain for a SAVE command, but if it's there, it escaped me.
I wonder if I'm using Spam Sieve may be causing the problem.
And, yes, I still have Eudora installed because I'm not yet through copying the contacts and messages I want to meld with the new ones. My intent is to delete Eudora once I'm satisfied that MAIL works the way I want it to.

I THINK I may have found the answer. Eudora still had in its prefs the choice that IT should be the default mailer. I de-selected this choice and, so far, MAIL is not changing it. (SO FAR)
If it stays this way for a few weeks, I'll consider the problem solved.

Window preferences not being saved

Hi there -
Using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP. A few days ago a problem started happening - whenever I close InDesign, my preferences for which windows (Tools, Pages, Links, Character) I have open are not being saved. Takes me 3-4 minutes every time i open InDesign to put everything back the way it should be.
I've installed updates, no dice, and have deleted the preferences file as suggested by this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
Any other steps I can take?
thanks in advance,
Andrew

Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

System Preferences not being saved

I've set up Hot Corners with a modifier key, because my mouse cursor occasionally jumps around and ends up in the screen corners, where it would activate hot corners. However, suddenly yesterday (I think), the modifier key isn't being saved. The corner assignments are still the way they were. But the modifier key setting isn't "saved". I tried re-enabling the key settings. I'd click okay in the drop-down sheet, and then when I clicked the Hot Corners button again, the settings were there. Then, only a few hours later, the settings would be gone. It doesn't happen immediately.
In addition, I was on YouTube, and no matter where I clicked on the Mighty Mouse (now the Apple Mouse, I suppose) I get the right click menu. But where ever else I clicked on the page using the same location on the mouse, it was a normal left-click. When I disabled the secondary button in System Preferences (or rather, set both buttons as a primary button) it worked. But then the setting changed itself back to Secondary Button. What's going on?

Repair permissions and try deleting the com.apple.systempreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences.

IChat preferences not being saved?

Hey everyone,
Everytime I launch iChat I have to go through the initial setup process as if I've never run the app before. It really just amounts to entering my name and then clicking return a few times, but still - its annoying. I'm runing version 3.1.6 currently, although this problem has plagued me for several versions. This is the only app that seems to be doing this.
Any clues? Thanks in advance

Hi Ralph,
I'll have to check this out on Monday. This is my work computer so I'm (thankfully) not sitting in front of it at the moment.
But I've never personally added any contacts to my Address Book. If MacOS automatically configures a Me card in Address Book as part of a new user setup process then I'm sure that one is there for me. If not, then I fear my book may be empty.
One of the reasons I haven't added any contacts on this machine is that I've been trying to sync it with my laptop at home using dot mac sync. I have so far been unsuccessful and have another open question regarding this particular problem.
Anyway, I'll respond to this post again on Monday once I've had a chance to check the Address Book out on my work machine. Thanks for the responses so far

Microphone "Input Volume" Setting In "System Preferences" Not Being Saved.

Hello,
While using iChat for the first time, I was experiencing an echo sound. I went into System Preferences > Sound > Input, and changed my "Input Volume" slider from the default 71% down to 25%. This solved the echo problem.
The "Input Volume" will stay at my setting of 25% during this iChat session, and also upon quitting iChat. However, when I start a new iChat session, the "Input Volume" slider returns back to the default 71%.
How can I get the "Input Volume" slider to stay at my desired setting of 25% upon starting a new iChat session?
Thanks In Advance... Dean

Hi DeanMachine,
Time for http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html I
think.

Ralph,
Thanks for that suggestion. I did leave them feedback, describing this problem. Perhaps it is something that will be addressed in a future update.

Maildir and mac mail (sent mail not being saved)

Our IT moved a while ago from mbox to maildir and I was experiencing the same problems as everyone, my sent mail wasn't being saved. Read thread for background, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3622469&#3721196
I tried the following:
1. Click Mail
2. Click Preferences
3. Click the Accounts button at the top
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. In the IMAP Path Prefix box enter INBOX.
6. Close the window, close Mail, reopen it and try again
Doing this was necessary but not sufficient. After reading the above thread I also tried selecting an appropriately titled mail folder (sent-messages) in my mail account, clicking MAILBOX in the header menu and selecting USE THIS MAILBOX for SENT. Well long story short, it finally worked!
This last step is what's being described in the Mail help topic, "Saving copies of email you send."
For some reason I didn't understand or they didn't explain enough that I first had to select a mail folder.
This was a head scratcher so I hope it helps somebody.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2)

Thanks for all of your responses.
I redid everything you guys mentioned and at one point I got a message that it wasn't reaching the server. The option to "resolve to server" came up (which wasn't the default option) and I clicked it for the heck of it. Sure enough, it fixed the connection. Again, what was odd was that the deault was "try again".
It's working fine now, but since I don't know what caused the disconnect in the first place, I'm hoping the connection doesn't break again, I accept a meeting, and it doesn't get added to iCal. You'd think there'd be a redundancy for .ics files where it would say:
You have responded to an invite. Would you like to add to iCal?
[Yes] [No]
[ ] Never ask me again
Or it would there would be an option in Mail that says "Display Calendar invites as [] Attachment [] Email."
I know the preferences should take care of this, but meetings and appointments are important enough for this type of anal retentiveness.
Thanks again fo rall your help.

My history is not being saved. Yes, in preferences, I have selected save history [90 days]. I believe this happened with the recent new update?

Running firefox 3.6.11 on a Mac OS X, 10.5.8. My history is not being saved [or displayed]. Within preferences [privacy] I have selected to remember history for 90 days. No, private browsing is Not selected. When choosing "show all history" under toolbar, my history is empty. Does anyone know what's happening? This just began happening within the last week or so--which does coincide with a recent [automatic] firefox update.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

I have two issues:
1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
Thanks!

Sent or replied to emails are not being saved in mailbox

My sent emails or the replies to emails sent to me are not being saved in my mailbox. The "sent" box is empty. What is happening and where can I find a copy of the emails I sent and the replies I sent?
Thanks.

I am not sure why it's not enabled by default, but when you go in to your mail and you can see your inbox. look below your folders on the left hand side you'll see mail settings under general.
click it
and you'll see an option to save your sent messages.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Sent emails on my iphone not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Sent emails on my iphone are not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Delete the account on your phone under settings> Mail, contacts, calendars> hotmail account> delete. This will not erase anything on your email account as your phone only accesses the server. Then you can add the account again in the same place in settings. Just make sure you have the password so you can add it right away. Sometimes people forget their password because they never use it. If that's the case you can go online and click "forgot password" and resset it before you uninstall it on your phone. Hope this helps.

Messages are not being saved on N96

On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message.
The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos.
The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
If you're publishing to a 3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
do the following:
publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.
