My expose keybindings are disappearing randomly!

Hello,
I've had a problem with my Macbook Pro's expose function for a while - in the System Prefs/Dashboard & Expose settings I've always had F9 bound to 'All Windows', F11 to 'Desktop' and F12 to 'Dashboard'. However, sometimes - and it seems completely random - OSX 'forgets' these setting and reverts everything back to default, which is no bindings at all. Drives me crazy! It happens on average a couple of times a month.
Why would it forget these settings like this? Is it a bug? Something wrong with my machine?
Any advice gratefully received!

I have updated to 10.5.3 and I am having this problem I dont know if that update did it, or what for it seems only a few people after a certain time are having this problem. I have fixed permissions and the system didnt have any errors in this area. Any ideas?

  • Password are removed randomly

    Hello Server specialists,
    After upgrading to Server 3 some mixed results. Some things work better,  the server application is reacting a lot quicker, but I have a big problem with passwords. The basic problem is that passwords in Mail, Agenda and Contacts are disappearing randomly. We have a number of macbooks and a server that is used as workstation as well. All users are defined as network users and can therefore login on any device. Next to the user  accounts there is a special account to share Agenda and Contact data and additional users for different e-mail accounts (the server is also used as mail server).
    Sometimes it is possible to add and save passwords but then after logging in on another macbook they are gone again.
    Anybody with similar problems and preferably a solution.
    Thanks

    No reactions so far, nobody with this problem?
    Some more information. Repairing access rights with the disc utility, resetting user rights in terminal and creating a key or resetting a key with keychains did not make any difference. Running the keychain first aid program gives no problem (when running it in English??).
    Also I have problems with connecting to the server. Although the network user has access to all the user data the connection to the server does not work in finder and therefore there is no access to the shared file systems.
    I hope this helps.

  • Since I started using Gmail, emails on my Mac Pro are disappearing

    I started using Gmail about two months ago.  Now (for the first time ever) all of a sudden emails that have been downloaded to my desktop Mac Pro's Mail are disappearing.  It seems like it's random emails that are disappearing, not necessarily all from a certain date range or anything.
    Am I doing something wrong??
    Tks!
    B

    Try rebuilding your mailbox and reindexing Mail. If the meassages are there, they should be 'restored'.

  • My notes are disappearing on my iphone 4S

    Can't figure out why my notes are disappearing on my iphone 4S

    I just had a note vanish before my eyes...
    I opened the app, was viewing the note, and it just went away...and is no longer listed with the other notes...
    Not the first time this new iPhone 5 has randomly disgarded notes from my notes app...very frustrating...
    All the old notes made with my previous iPhone 4 are still there after being carried over from the upgrade...

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.
    Best

  • Mac 10.5.8 is running slow and programs are disappearing

    Hi guys,
    I actually have more than one problem with my Mac:
    For one it is running slow especially when using Firefox and Office at the same time often resulting in me having to force quit the programs because they are not responding.
    Lately applications are disappearing. First Stickies which is really! bad, because, stupid as I am, I put important info on them and did not make a backup. I tried to restore them via Time Machine but find nothing under ~Library/.StickiesDatabase, ...Application Support... or ...Preferences/com.apple.Stickies.plist
    Then Preview disappeared which, luckily i could restore via Time Machine.
    And now iCal looks different in dock (the white square surrounding the actual date disappeared) so I am guessing this  soon will be gone as well.
    Another info that probably is important: my battery is swollen so generally I use the Mac without the battery
    Do you think this is a virus? Or maybe 10.5.8. is just too old a version? Do you think an upgrade to at least 10.6. would help or rather worsen things? And is it worth it to invest in an upgrade, a new battery, a complete check-up or should I just wait until the poor thing dies and get a new one (which would be really painful)?
    As you can see I am a clueless user, and I am sorry for any stupid questions in advance and thankful for any support!

    thank you for the reply. i checked the smart status which said disk is veryfied. i ran the repair anyways. this is the protoco (i dont really know what to make of it)l:

    Help me!!!! my itunes library and play list are disappearance!!! Please!! 50gb of music!!

    Layoff whatever drugs you are taking... they have seriously messed with your brain.
    No content shows in iTunes after updating
    iTunes 11.04 is most certainly compatible with iOS5 and previous versions of iTunes.

  • After saving the invoice, excise values are disappearing in invoice

    Hi,
    While creating invoice, we have entered all the required conditions and clicked on update button to pick new conditions
    then all the invoice values are getting updated.
    when we save the invoice and open once again the excise values are disappearing.
    net value showing without duty.
    even in the printout the excise duty values are not coming.
    your inputs & suggestions will be appreciated.
    thanks
    Regards
    Suresh.

    This is due to wrong assignment of condition types.

  • Items on my calendar are disappearing

    Dates on my IPad Calendar are disappearing and can't be found!

    Do you sync to iTUnes? In iTunes (and you can only see this with your device connected and the 'info' tab chosen) you can tell it how far back to sync events. The default used to be 30 days, which meant your device only keeps a month's worth of history around. But you can set it for longer.

  • TS4002 Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.

    Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.
    They are present for about a second, display as notified, but are not going to junk or Trash.
    The problem doesn't affect all emails and seems to be restricted to some senders.

    What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
    Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
    Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

  • Plug-ins are disappeared

    I use Photoshop cs6/64 bit version. since a short time all plug-ins are disappeared, nik-software as well as pt-lens. What happened? The plug-ins are correctly installed in the plugin-folder.

    When you install CS6 and CC on a 64bit windows system both the 32bit version and the 64bit versions of Photoshop are installed by default.  In CS6 there is an option not to install the 32Bit version but that is not an option in the CC installer.  You could be starting the 32bit version when your not seeing the Plug-ins.  For the 32Bit version of plug-ins are installed into the 32bit Photoshop version install tree.   Check your start button how many Photoshop start icons do you have.  Also make sure ant short cut icon you use to start Photoshop is starting the right version exe. Also make sure that file associations for image files are for the 64bit version not the 32bit version.

  • IPhone 6: iMessages are disappearing

    iMessages are disappearing from my Phone, I think it has happened twice, the first time I was not sure if the messages had disappeared or if I had erased them by mistake, but then it happened again this week and this time I am certain that I didn't erase them. The other strange thing is that only the message thread between me and one person has disappeared. The problem began after I switched phone to iPhone 6 from my previous iPhone 5. Does anyone know how to fix this and how I can get the messages back into my phone? The thread is obviously still in my iCloud since the thread is in Messages on my Macbook Air.

    This happened to me twice today. Even my reply disappeared. Like you, the messages that disappeared from my iPhone 6 Plus remain on my iPad and MBP, so I know I’m not imagining things.
