Metadata Columns will not stay the way I order them

I have PPro CS6 and cannot get the Metadata columns or their off/on status to stay the way I want them.  I've tried saving my settings to a custom name and find that using it to try and restore my settings does nothing, at least not in terms of the order I want the columns to be.  Also, should the Metadata panel settings change when I change Workspaces?  Am I doing something wrong?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Mark,
Many thanks for your very clear explanation of how this works.  After posting I played around some more and I began to see a pattern which pointed to what you've written.
I'll have to experiment with some scenarios to make sure I understand this more fully.  I was getting pretty frustrated. 
None of the training I've done explains this beyond the most basic level, but as I'm discovering, there are many little "gotchas" which most training simply glosses over.  Having said that, I do enjoy the challenges... keeps me on my toes.  PPro is one hell of a product, and I use it as an amateur for my own personal stuff.
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to explain this to me.  Thanks.
Jim

  • My finder home window will not stay the way I set it

    How do I keep my Finder window opening the way I leave it? Everytime I reboot or use folders in finder window my home view changes from icon to list or size changes. I reset it and it stays for awhile then changes to other view.

    You will have to change the Home Page to the page your want to display. In order to do so, follow the steps below:
    * Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
    * Go to the General tab;
    * Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
    Also, make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).
    Hope this helps!

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why won't websites I visit stay the way I set them up when I use Firefox?

    As an example: When I go to MSNBC I set the number of articles for different subjects and they revert to default every time I open firefox. This does not happen with IE. Another is I have to log in to get to my hotmail & Gmail account every time I re-enter the browser. Please help .
    Thanks, Nicholas

    You have accidentally told Firefox not to remember cookies, or to refuse them.
    Cookies are small text files that websites use to store information used by them, such as your session ID (so you can "remember" sessions), a tracking ID (used by ad platforms to offer you personalised advertisements), or simply few preferences websites have.
    This cookies are sometimes abusive (for example, the tracking IDs), so some users may want to disable them.
    In order to tell Firefox to allow cookies again, go to Firefox/Options (Edit/Preferences), privacy tab and choose Firefox will: "Remember history" in the combo box.
    If you tried to disable browser history, that's the reason for which you have this problem. In that case you want firefox not to remember your browsing history, choose Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" and uncheck "Always use private browsing mode" and "Clear history when Firefox closes" and check the "Accept cookies from websites" checkbox.

  • Key bindings not working (the way I want them to)

    Hey forum,
    Annoying problem.
    In the following program the key binding doesn't work. But if you add the line that is now commented out it does work. Why? and how do I make it work without that line?

    I found the bug. In my main program I serialized the KeyStrokes to file using xstream (http://xstream.codehaus.org/). This seemed to work fine, the files were written and read without error, the deserialized objects all existed and had the right settings (printing the same output with toString()). But apparently there is still a problem. I replaced the xstream code with ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream and the bug disappeared.
    Too bad I can't use this library now, I really liked the XML.

  • IPhone 6 will not stay on 802.11ac

    So I have a brand new iPhone 6 that I absolutely love. The only issue I have about it is that it will not connect to my wireless network at 802.11ac speeds. My home network consists of an AirPort Extreme AC router and an airport express that is hard wired to expand my network and give me more coverage. I have a handful of devices that are connected via wifi and those are a macbook pro, iMac, Amazon Fire TV stick, iphone 5, my iPhone 6 and an iPad air 2. The only 2 that should be running at AC speeds are my ipad and iphone 6. Well my iPad is always connected at AC speeds and has since the day I got it. Never had any issues with it and the speed is always super fast as it holds a strong connection to my wifi network at AC speeds. But when I got my iPhone 6, it never connected and stayed connected at AC speeds. So to diagnose it, I reset my network settings, restarted the phone, even did a full reset and setup the phone as new and it still has the same issue. I have gotten my iPhone to connect at AC speeds but only for a short window before going back to N speeds. I toggle wifi on/off and even restart my phone and it will connect at AC speeds again but it will not stay that way. I have no idea why I am having this issue as all of my other devices connect just fine and my iPad run at AC speeds 24/7. I had my iPhone replaced by Apple already and both the old one and new one had this issue with staying connected at AC speeds. Any help on what I can do to fix this issue? is it a hardware issue on the iPhone 6's or is it an iOS issue that I'll have to wait for a software update to fix? both my iPad and iPhone are running iOS 8.2 by the way. my iPad has always connected at AC speeds regardless of what software version was installed on it. It worked great before 8.2 and it continues to still work great on AC (knock on wood). the iPhone has had this issue both before and after iOS 8.2. And both my airports are running the latest firmware as well. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!!!

    Thanks for all of the help.  I have already tried this and this did not correct the issue.  This issue occurs on any and all apps that I have set to only use Wi-Fi.  Below is an example of what I get when it automatically loose connection to a Wi-Fi/wireless router.  This is even occurring at my work Wi-fi connection. 

  • Sound Input will not stay put!

    Hi, if i go to
    System Preferences>Sound>
    and change the input level to my desired choice for my built in mic on my imac g5 isight, well, the level will not stay the same.
    I constantly use Ichat, and use the audio chat feature with a few friends.
    And it bugs me cause I have to go to change my preferences every single time.
    Is there a cure for this.
    I would trash the sound prefereces p.list , but im not sure which one it is.
    Anyone , can you shed some light on , a
    small issue, but important to me.
    thanks

    I will need to select character by character with Hanin, while with Zhuyin, the system will render suggestions.
    This page has some info on Hanin that may be helpful in doing more characters at once:

    As for the problem with the Zhuyin IM, I think it would be best to ask on the chinese-mac list and see if anyone there has run into this and found a fix:

  • After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

    By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.

    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.

  • F irefox will not stay on a url more 30 seconds a lot less the majority of the times. I would get rid of the broser but it seems it's the only one that is somewhat running! Can you help with this problem or give me an e-mail address!

    It occurs on every web site I enter and has continued this way since Monday it's Thursday now and there is no change!!!!

    ''''' "Firefox will not stay on a url more 30 seconds a lot less the majority of the times." '''''
    Please explain what you mean by that. The web page loads and then it disappears after 30 seconds? Or, the page loads and then you are re-directed to another web page? ''(If so, is the page you are re-directed to always the same? URL of that page?)''

  • I need to register my PS and I have the numbers but it wont let me register online, only on the phone. So I called the number and it I have to take a surve for a freaking trip that I DON"T want. If I don't regiester my photo shop it will not stay up. How

    I called the number to register my photo shop but I have answer some questions for a freaking trip that I don't want supposed to be "FREE" and I asked to be redirected but the people wont do it. They hung up on me twice. Can someone PLEASE help me register my Photo shop? It will not stay open if it is not registered.

    This whole deal reeks. I do not know where you got your product from, but that's not how Adobe Photoshop works.
    Go here first: Contact Customer Care
    That is the official contact.
    Contact Customer Care by chat or Phone.
    If the website you went on is not www.adobe.com, close the browser.
    If the number is for a "survey" to "win a trip", hang up. It's a scam to get your credit card in order to "secure" the trip.

  • My Macbook will not stay connected to the internet, while my Dell computer works fine. Why? What can I do?

    My sister and I both have Macbook Pros that will not stay connected to our internet (wifi). Our dell computers and HP computers in the household work great- but both of the Macs do not stay connected, and often say "you are not connected to the internet". I have saved our wifi name to the computer so it is registered as our home network- but it still will not work fast or stay connected for long periods of time. Is there a setting I need to change, or anything I can do? Very disappointed with how the Mac works with our wifi.

    Mac's will have trouble connecting to WEP Encrpyted and/or "hidden" / "invisible " networks.
    OpenWEP (insecure) or WPA2(AES) is the only secure standard.
    ..WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
    WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
    Also make sure the date and time are current and updating to Apple's servers for your location in System Preferneces > Date and Time. Then reboot and reconnect.
    If your still having trouble after this, take both machines back to the store for a free evaluation.
