MBP contrast reset to default after reboot

I'm running mavericks on a late 2013 MBP 15 retina and now every time I turn it on I need to open accessibility and tick the bar so it sets the contrast to where I want it. It's not resetting the value, though.

Also, I'm having trouble calibrating through color profiles. Any tips would be appreciated.

T520 Ultranav buttons reset to default after reboot

I love the touchpad and make extensive use of its capabilities. Nearly half of the programmable functions were reinitialized to factory default after reboot when I first bought my t520. Most of the problems were resolved little by little with subsequent software releases. The only problem that has not been resolved is the reinitialization of the left and right buttons. I have set them up to execute pre-recorded keystrokes. After I reboot, the left and right buttons are reset to left and right clicks respectively. Interestingly, the keystroke sequences are retained. I just have to highlight the "Record and play....." text and apply the change. It's livable but it's annoying. My drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, computer is clean as I am very selective as to what I install. Anyone else have initialization problems like this?

go to the folder /library/preferences/audio and delete everything in it. then restart and see if sound preferences hold from now on.
note: that's the library at the top level of the drive, not in your home directory.

Bluetooth problems: prefs revert to defaults after reboot

Hi there,
I have a strange problem with Bluetooth and wireless input devices. I have set up Apple wireless keyboard and mouse, and also ticked "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" in Bluetooth preferences. However, after I reboot bluetooth icon disappears from the menu bar, and Magic Mouse prefs revert to defaults.
Apart from that, I am not able to tick "Allow Bluetooth devices wake up this computer" in Preferences – Bluetooth – Advanced.
What can it possibly be?
Before that I had the same issue with Dock (its icons would return to a certain state every time after reboot, no matter how I'd change or rearrange them before restarting). I managed to solve Dock issue by trashing Dock .plist files. I guess it may be the same with Bluetooth, but I don't know which .plist to trash this time (tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist, it doesn't work).

I don't have a logitech mouse, but is it possible that the mouse is going to sleep during the reboot, and is thus unavailable when the OS is looking for it?

Keyboard shortcuts defaults after reboot

I have changed some of the system keyboard shortcuts, but after a reboot they go back to their default setting.
I'm suspecting that I have a corrupted preference file or something, since I have also experienced some strange crashes.
Is there a program that can "clean" the preference folder or where do I find the plist that contains keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks!

If your preferences are not sticking, you could well have a permissions problem. But, note that "Repair Permissions" does not look at anything in your Home folder.
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window, one line at a time, with a return after each line:
ls -ld ~/Library/Preferences/
ls -l ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Copy and paste the result from the Terminal window to a post here.
Also, we might as well see the current settings, so copy and paste again:
defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences com.apple.preference.keyboard.configkeys.trianglestate
Post that output as well.

Safari preferences reset to default after closing app

Macbook pro 15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
After updating to Yosemite, Safari preferences revert to default once the app is closed. The "Welcome to Safari" window seems to be the home page, despite changing it repeatedly. I also can't keep the preferences I set to customize the toolbar from the Safari view menu. While these issues aren't a big deal relative to the serious problems others are having, it's quite annoying and frustrating, and not what I expect of an Apple product.
Like others, I often have to restart the computer to get Safari to load pages, otherwise it sticks at the 15% point.

Hi ..
Might be corrupted Safari preferences
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari then reset your Safari preferences.
For webpages not loading, try another DNS server > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
For OpenDNS ...
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Try Safari.

SystemD Values Get Reset to Default after some Time

Hi,
I'm using two machine as gateways and Keepalive HA load balancers, so I've enabled some kernel options, but after some time (the next day or so), these options have been reset to their default (disabled) values.
Why does that happen, and how to stop that from happening?
I have to reset the parameters each time. I could set up a script to run on a schedule, but I would like to prevent it from happening in the first place.
These are the values which get reset to 0 (this time):
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects
net.ipv4.vs.conntrack
net.ipv4.vs.expire_nodest_conn
net.ipv4.vs.expire_quiescent_template
Thank you.

I didn't find anything in the journal, but I am curious about what I did find: every 1-3 seconds, there is an entry which is repeated: "sshd[<Number>]: Set /proc/self/oom_score_adj to 0". What does it mean? I've been scrolling for the last few days-worth of this message, and there is still more... I also have many attempts to log in via ssh from China, from multiple IP addresses, with various user names and many unsuccessful authentication attempts for root; maybe the entry is related to these attempts...
Going back to the original discussion, I think I've seen someone mention a systemd service or something like that which resets kernel settings, or some other things, to their default values, in a post (here), but I didn't find it again. Is there such a service that does something like that?
It is strange that since I started this thread, and since I reset the settings to 1, they have remained at 1. I notice that it happens irregularly.

Dvr resets to empty after reboot

only have fios for 1 week now but i have to reboot system daily. after i do, any previously recorded show is gone and any programmed taping is not on the queu. is this normal? if so, i am having serious regrets. also my primary box (dvr) is totally a used unit as it is scratched all over. would like a new one if its faulty.

Why are you having to reboot daily? That in irself is not normal, and likely a good reason for equipment replacement. Since the unit you describe is apparently refurbished, I suspect you would be better off exchanging for a new box. The easiest method for doing so is to go to a nearby walk-in store if one is available. They will exchange the STB, and you might be able to snare a freebie while you're at it.

OUTPUT volume resets to high after reboot

I turn the OUTPUT volume down then shut the computer off but when I boot it up the OUTPUT volume is hi again. I have reset pram, repaired permissions and still the same.
Must be a pref bad somewhere.
There are no stuck keys on the keyboard

It may be a bug, but it obviously does not affect everyone. It does not happen on my older Intel iMac. And there is a +Early 2009+ Mac mini in the house, 2.0 GHz (same as and in Dah•veed's profile); it does not happen on it either.
When you did the test of setting volume low (or muted) with external speakers disconnected, and restarting with the external speakers disconnected, was the startup sound from the built-in speakers low (or muted), or was it already reset and loud. This will better determine when the volume reset takes place. If it's already loud, then it takes place during the previous logoff and actions that take place before restarting (or shutting down), or during the initial few seconds of startup (before the startup sound). If it's still low (or muted), then the sound volume reset takes place at some point after the startup sound, but before startup completes.
As another test, if you set the volume low, then log out and log back in (instead of restarting), does the volume stay low or does it get reset to the higher volume.
And as one more test, create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Go to System Preferences Accounts pane and set it for +Automatic login+ (If you don't use automatic login normally, then you don't need to set it). Now try doing the same test, except from this account instead of your normal account. Is there any difference in the volume setting being retained?

ThinkPad X220 UltraNav Settings Keep Resetting to Default on Reboot

Hello,
I use a ThinkPad X220 and until the last week I barely had any problem with it. The UltraNav driver settings did occasionally reset themselves in the past, but that was only when I updated the driver or used Windows Update. Since last week, however, I found the settings reset every time I shut down my computer.
I checked the solutions on other threads (which normally pertained to other systems), but to no avail. I even tried installing the Synaptics driver instead of the UltraNav driver, but I encountered the same problem: the settings kept resetting for the other driver the same way it did the Ultranav.
I updated all the drivers for the machine as of this morning, and still there is no difference.
Could anyone help me out here? I am unable to use the TrackPoint unless it is set at its lightest touch, and it is quite inconvenient to have the settings reset every time I boot up the computer.

I assume you are using Audigy 2 something, it has a terrible tendency to forget setting (not just THX) to date there is no sure fire fix. It just appears to be poor software which seems to conflict with most everything. In the soundblster forum this is a common problem.

Mail reset to default after 10.5.7 update!

Ok I just updated from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7, and now when I launch Mail, it acts like it's a brand new computer. It asks me to enter my address and server info. When I do that, it starts downloading all the messages from scratch. My saved messages still appear in the folders.
I have tried repairing permissions, but that is all so far. No idea what else to check. It's as if a file is missing or was renamed in the Mail Library, but I have done no tinkering.
I hope I don't have to revert to the 10.5.6 backup I just made! =(
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

Ok, so I got mine working by deleting my Mail preferences from ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. Just move that file to your desktop while Mail is quit. You can always put it back if you like.
The down side is that you lose your accounts and have to set them up again, but all your mailboxes and downloaded emails should be reconnected fine. The preferences file contains the information about the accounts, but not the mail itself.
I tried restoring a backup copy of my preferences file, but as others have mentioned, each time I quit and restart Mail, my accounts were lost again and it asked me to set them up. The only way I found to prevent this was to get move the preferences file aside. Now it quits and restarts without a problem.
Hope that helps. Not ideal, but you can at least get back up and running.

Windows 8.1 (running in VMware Fusion 6) keeps resetting my default program associations after rebooting

I tried to set Google Chrome as my default browser in Windows 8.1 (virtual machine running in VMware Fusion 6) but somehow mysteriously failed over and over again.
According to Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, there are 19 possible associations for Google Chrome:
Extensions: .htm, .html, .shtml, .webp, .xht, .xhtml;
Protocols: FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, IRC, MAILTO, MMS, NEWS, NNTP, SMS, SMS, SMSTO, TEL, URN, WEBCAL
I have no problem selecting some of them, or "set this program as default" so that "this program has all its defaults." (I am the only admin user, but not the builtin admin account.)
However, after restarting the VM, the program associations for Google Chrome will reset on its own. Specifically,
"this program has all its defaults" becomes "this program has 14 out of 19 defaults", losing the following five crucial protocols:
FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, MAILTO, NEWS
And these protocols simply hang there unassociated—they don't belong to IE either.
So I am extremely confused; how could the system reset my default program associations? What's wrong?
In case it is relevant, I will also post my VMware Fusion VM Default Applications settings here. All of the options are unchecked: "Open your Mac files and links using Windows applications"; "Open your Windows files and links using Mac applications";
"Run Windows applications from your Mac's Applications folder."
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I have the same issue, and I've posted on the vmware forums with no responses other than another person having the same issue.
Have you been able to fix this? I tried importing the same VM into Parallels and the problem goes away. If I do a manual uninstall of Fusion (and remove VMWare tools from the VM), and then reinstall both, the problem goes away - temporarily. I had a few
good months, and it started again. Followed the procedure mentioned, and it went away again, but only survived a few reboots.
FYI, it's definitely not an issue with Chrome, as I'm having the same issue with Firefox (although I can duplicate on chrome as well).
Have you figured anything out?
Thanks!

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
>> Please try to review the promon log. The Device value in the following Registry path contains the user's default printer:

We can use process monitor to view what issue cause the registry key reset.
There is a scenarios for your reference:
One or more network printer connection under

Resolution:
Start Regedit.exe

The back button no longer works. I have disabled all add-ons, rebooted & reset the defaults for the browser and nothing has changed. This happens on all webpages.How do I get the back button to light up again?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

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.
