Messages doesn't keep my "Show as Boxes"display preference after restart.

Any ideas on how to make Messages keep my “Show as Boxes”display preference after restart. It always defaults back to “Show as Ballons”.
Thank you community,
Paul

Hi,
Open a Finder window
Go to the View Menu and chose "Show Path Bar"
This will show the way to the folders and files you navigate to.
In the Finder still, use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key
Select the Library that appears
Navigate to the Preferences Folder.
Now Right click the Library in the Path Bar.
Choose Get Info.
In the panel that opens up check the Ownership and Permissions section
highlight your Name and then use the cogwheel type icon.
Your shortname should appear in a sentence that reads "Make Shortname (me) the Owner" but it should be greyed out if you already Own the folder.
Your name in the list should have Read and Write Permissions.
Do you have Read and Write Permissions an Own the Library folder ?
Repeat for the Preferences Folder.
Repeat for a file in the Preferences folder called com.apple.ichat.plist (just highlight the file and then do CMD + i keys (Get Info))
Basically to be able to change a Preference you need permission to Write to the file involved.
However you also need Read and Write permissions to the containing folders.
If it is not sticking then it would seem you do not have those.

Keeping "Lock Zoom Position" always enabled, also after restarting Lightroom?

I use "Lock Zoom Position" a lot in Lightroom. Unfortunately it gets switched off after restarting the program.
Is there a way to keep it enabled all the time? I would like to set and forget it and only in certain situations maybe turning it off.
I haven't found a way to enable it by default using the settings or so. :-(

I think the "Available Memory" figure is pretty standard for a 32bit system, which is what I think the OP is running.
@howmanyetc: A couple of observations: the systems specs would seem to be not much higher than the minimum requirements for LR4, so blazing fast it ain't ever going to be. Also is the J drive the new external drive that you bought? If so I'm guessing that it may be USB2 connected? If so having the catalog on a "relatively slow" external drive is probably not the best idea from a performance perspective. The "red lining" of the CPU during exports is entirely likely, the processor is simply not sufficiently powerful to do the work quickly. As a comparison, exports which take maybe 3-4 seconds on my desktop would take upwards of 30 seconds on my old Thinkpad laptop (similar specs to yours) with both cores at 100% with no deviation (and that was back in LR3, so I can't imagine how slow it would be using LR4). The "getting real slow" after a while is more than likely due to your RAM limitations, especially on a 32 bit system.
I'm not saying that you should rush out and buy a brand new powerful system, though I do think you might struggle to make significant improvements given your specs. It sounds as though you are doing everything you can to improve things, however as I said, if the catalog is on a USB2 external drive, trying it back on an internal drive would be the first place that I would start. Having the images on the external is probably OK, your bottleneck for things such as Exports is CPU, not I/O.
Do you need to be writing XMP for all your files? Do you have the "Auto write XMP" setting enabled? If so, turning that off and using Ctrl+S to manually write the XMP at the end of a session may help a little.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

App doesn't show up in System Preferences after Installation

Hi -
I've been trying to install a Wireless-G USB Adapter on a G3
and is is supposed to show up in the System Preferences,
but after the installation is complete, it's not there.
Can anyone help???
Thanks...

The guide that came with the adapter says it's for OSX - OS10.3, and I'm running 10.2 - The adapter is a Hawking HWL2A for Apple users, and I was told it would work on my G3.
I understand that my USB is only 1.1, but does that affect the installer?
Would you recommend me to just obtain the original airport card & adapter?
Thanks for your help...

Windows 10 doesn't keep settings of the Synaptic's TouchPad after reboot

A temporary solution here: https://translate.google.ru/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fanswers.microsoft.com%2Fru-ru%2Fwindows%2Fforum%2Fwindows_10-power%2Fwindows-10-не%2F94075d3c-0e42-48f6-9079-8437d6cf58e1%3Fauth%3D1 It is to install the older Sinaptiсs driver and ban update new version of this driver.We are waiting for an official decision.

Good afternoon!
After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, no longer saved settings Synaptic's touchpad after reboot system.That is, I change the settings of Synaptic's touchpad, but they work only until the system is rebooted. After system reboot the settings are restored again by default.

How do I keep my tab groups in my toolbar after restarting...all of a sudden they disappear on restart. I have the restore tabs option on but the groups aren't

I have 2 problems.......
1.recently on restarting Firefox, all my tab groups disappear...the tabs there but not in my tab groups.... I have the preference set to open all tabs and can't find anything to say open tabs in groups....can you help? I am working on a Mac desktop version 10.93 with Firefox version 30.0....
2.also on the Firefox homepage there is no "restore previous session" button.....

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Gnome shell shows 24 hour time, fix after restarting shell

Hi, so my problem is that I want normal 12 hour AM PM time. But it seems that gnome shell converts the time to 24 hour time and displays it on the top panel. I have gnome set to display 12 hour AM PM time, so im not sure why this is happening. Also, I can usually fix this by typing Alt+f2 and then "r" and restarting gnome shell. Doing this will show normal time again.
Why is this happening? Any way to fix it?

bump. No one else has this problem? Its very annoying having to reset gnome shell to see the time in the correct format. Any clues as to whats going on?

Sony File Commander really doesn't save files on sd card - they vanished after restart

Like in the subject. I've Sony Xperia Z3 dual sim version - 16GB + 64GB Kingston SD card. I was recording very important meeting with my phone. But after a few hours the internal space was full and I moved all of the recordings to my sd card using Sony File Commander. The files where there. But I have to restart my phone and I was so surprised that after doing that all of my files on sd card that I've moved using SFC where gone. I've lost very important stuff.
I'm using Sony Audio Recorder and this program can save recordings only to internal storage. There is no option in settings to change that. Please help! Sony, help!
Going back to factory settings, uninstalling software updates and cleaning data of SFC didn't solve the problem. All versions of SFC have this problem.

I think this is something related to the microSD cards themselves. Have you tried others?
I'm using two Kingston 64 GB SD cards. The same issue is on my Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. When I remove my SD card and plug it directly through my SD/USB adapter to my computer I can easily cut and paste any files on it and there is no problem with them at all.

Mail doesn't download Mail; shows "124 of 124 messages" in Activity.

My girlfriend hasn't been able to get mail from one account for the last 30 hours, using her unibody MacBook (10.5.8) . Her 4 peers, using various Macs, are able to get their mail from the same server.
Mail logs into the server fine, but messages don't download and the Activity window immediately shows the number of messages as if it were downloading the last of her messages -- for example, it now shows "127 of 127 messages" -- and then goes blank as if it has completed downloading.
If there is any error message, it goes by too quickly to read.
How can we figure out what's going on? Is there a way to make the Activity messages persist? Is there some hidden switch that gets Mail to log its activity?

Hello there,
It seems we face the kind of same trouble. Now here is the way I solved it, but I am not sure it is academic although it worked. But before you choose to try this (when in deep shxxxxxt, it doesn't cost much to take some risks, does it), maybe try with the very last step which is to close or force close mail, get rid of the Mail app in the Dock (if you use this way of accessing Mail) and open Mail from the Applications folder on your hard disk. As mentioned, this is what I did at the end of the process I explain below and now Mail works like a charm again. So maybe this simple step would work too, but I don't know.
Now for what I really did: I accessed the Library (on my account, not on the hard disk – System 10.5.8). In this Library folder, there are 2 folders that you have to open. FIrst, the Preferences. In this folder, get rid of com.apple.mail.plist Then, in this same Library folder, there is one folder called Mail. I don't know what is in yours, but in mine I got rid of all documents dated with today's and yesterday's date or dates since when the trouble starded. Some of the documents are: AvailableFeeds, BackupTOC.plist, Envelope Index, DefaultCounts, MessageRules.plist, etc. (basically everything with a .plist and as mentioned everything dated very recent. They are sub-folders in that folders, such as POP-(account-name)@(provider).com, in which there are other subfolders named Messages. In this Messages folder, there are documents numbered with a .emlx extension. I got rid of all of those too.
When I deleted all these documents, I nervously restarted my computer then as mentioned above, I got rid of my Mail access from the Dock and opened Mail from the Applications folder on the hard disk. When you do so, there are some prompts, you click OK as if it was the first time you use Mail.
At the end of this process, Mail was opened and miraculously it worked like a charm.
As I said, I am not a guru, I don't know if this way is the way to go, but it worked for me.
Good luck

I keep losing entire events in iPhoto on my iMac. Where an event was, there is a light gray event box displaying a dark gray palm tree and when I hover my cursor over the box, it shows 0 photos are there, where there were once photos.

WHat version if iPhoto? Where is your iPhoto library located?

BAckup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys while launching iPhoto until the first aid window comes up and repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

Ok. So I figured out that I can add the email address to my iPhone 4s to receive the iMessages sent/received from my iPad. How do I get the messages on my iPad that were sent to my iPhone? Is it possible?

TS1368 I downloaded the latest ITunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but I can no longer access the Itunes Store. No error message, it just keeps "accessing" but nothing shows up. I've restarted my computer twice.

Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.

Framemaker 9 Graphics Show Grey Boxes Half way through Doc

Hello,
I am using Framemaker 9 (service pack 2, windows XP) with a ~5000 page document, thie document has lots of embedded Graphics.When create a PS (postscript file) about half of the way through the PDF file the figures Show Grey Boxes. This occurs using either the Framemaker save as PDF file or when printing to a PS. An error message apprears "Cannot Print Some Imported Graphics", I click OK and the systems creatse the PS file. When viewing PDF the grey boxes appear. Now for the interesting anomaly, I delete the first 2500 pages and the PS and PDF files are fine. If I delete only 1000 pages the grey boxex occur later in the document.
Any help on this is appreciated,
Nick
PS
same error occurs on computer with Service pack 3

Ah, 1gig of RAM. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to cut it in FM9, not for that large a size document. You might try rebooting, not turning on any other app like e-mail, and see if you can manage it then, but I'd doubt it.
Even though the job works with FM7, FM 9 has substantially more features that could definitely require more RAM, e.g. the unicode features alone.
Here's a comparison in Task Manager on my XP system:
FM9 running without a doc open shows as approx 110,320 K
FM7 running without a doc open shows as approx 34,508 K
Other questions:
in your FrameMaker Preferences (File > Preferences) do you have "Save FrameImage..." turned off? If not, that will add exponentially to the memory use. A couple of other things that might save some memory:
FM automatically loads the Windows Character Map app. You can find it listed in your Task Manager. To save some memory you can disable this, following info in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/click.jspa?searchID=3832601&objectType=2&objectID=2325331
AND, here's another REALLY important thing to test: you want to test using FM without any of the Workspaces open. The workspaces definitely add time and memory usage in FM9. Doesn't matter whether you actually use any number of variables or markers or whatever in the doc, just the work that FM has to do to scan the entire doc to update these panels takes an enormous amount of effort.
Being sure that all the workspaces are really closed can be a bit tricky; I'll post instructions in a separate post.

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go
