My Exposé settings keep resetting

My Exposé settings are constantly resetting to nothing. I frequently disconnect my keyboard and mouse from my MacBook, but I tested and found that the disconnection does not always cause the settings to reset. What could be making Exposé do this on me?

I am having the same problem, my mouse buttons 3 and 4 which are set to dashboard and exposé all windows keep changing in the system preferences so they no longer do anything. Also my keyboard eposé and dashboard keys (f9 -f12) are doing the same thing, their shortcuts turn themselves off. I can easily go into system preferences and change them back but it's just an irritating problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

Hello,
I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
It is getting rather infuriating

Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
Anyone able to help?

This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
Delete these three files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
Restart the computer.

Keyboard and Mouse Settings Keep "resetting"

Ok so I set up my keyboard's F5 to be the Desktop View ( F11 the old way ) and squeezing my mighty mouse, I set to Expose... but every time I do that, it resets itself after like a day or so..
Anyone experience this? I have to go back in and check off the F5 option again, and I have to change my mouse from Button 4, to Expose.
HELP!

I am having the same problem. I have my system preferences setup to synch with my .mac account. The mouse settings keep resetting on both computers I have synched.
The problem seems to have ramped up since the update to 10.5.3. It is now happening every synch.

My Firefox Settings Keep Resetting

User Settings keep resetting

I have an I-Mac. I keep using the get Info to set my preferance for opening photos and other items. I find that the computer keeps resetting them to the default settings. For example I want my .jpeg files to open with Adobe Photoshop but they keep resetting to preview. I want certain items to open in Firefox but it keeps resetting to Safari. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are doing nothing wrong. It sounds like LaunchServices is confused.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Mac book pro settings keep resetting

Hi, I am in need of anyone that can help me with my situation.
About two days ago, when I booted up my Macbook pro, all the settings would have been resetted (dock is full of apps that I removed, exposes resetted etc).
Whenever I would set up all the settings to how I had it, it would still keep resetting every single time I turned the computer on and off.
Just yesterday, my Macbook also started becoming incredibly slow. The first time I boot it up, the screen would always freeze but I could still move my cursor with the spinning wheel. It requires me to manually press the power button to turn it on and off, sometimes twice.
Please can anyone help me?

Is your data backed up? If not, you may need to do a data recovery.
If your machine is under 4 years old, resetting the PRAM can help.
If your machine is older than four years, the PRAM battery may need replacing.
If your data is backed up, and resetting the PRAM hasn't helped, getting Alsoft Disk Warrior may work, if "Repair Disk" won't work by booting either the disc that came with the computer and running Disk Utility from the Utilities menu of the installer, or Disk Utility from the command-R boot sequence available on Macs with 10.7 or later installed.

Power Options Settings keep resetting back to default and system goes to sleep.

Hi I have Windows Server 2012 Standard R2 installed on one of my servers, in which there is an issue with the power settings. In power options it keeps selecting the Balanced plan by default. Even if I manually change the power plan it still keeps resetting
back to the default Balanced plan which in turn puts the System to sleep after 4 hours. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue. I have even tried using powercfg -SETACTIVE from command prompt by giving the appropriate Power Scheme
GUID. But it didn't work either. Anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server. Windows Server does not do that. I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.
Do you have power savings enabled on your NIC card? Is there some setting in VMware?

Why do my itunes podcast settings keep resetting?

i originally set my itunes to download new podcasts every night at 12:15 am, so i could get news podcasts from the previous day if i missed it, but my download time seems to randomly reset itself to different times of day. sometimes early morning, sometimes mid-afternoon, sometimes in the early evening.
when i readjust the download time, it randomly resets itself again.
i know it can reset itself if there's a power outage, but why does it keep resetting itself randomly?

So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

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.

Mac System Settings Keep Resetting After Restart from Boot Camp

Not sure what to make of it but it's highly annoying. Most of the time when I restart my computer back into the Mac partition after I've been using Windows XP on BootCamp, most of my system settings are reset. The most obvious ones I run into are desktop background, Safari homepage, and the Spaces preferences, but there are others. Help. Thanks.

Did that reset, then rebooted into BootCamp, then restarted into the Mac. Settings appear OK, but I will try it a few more times over the next couple days to be sure. I thought it odd that it does it much of the time, but not all the time.... If it stays this way I'll post this as answered in a few days. If not, then I'll let you know that, too! Thanks guys!

Network settings keep resetting MTU to 1500

I have recently upgraded to ML on a 2010 MBP
I had the usual N-wifi connection problem* - even after 2 full-up installs, but finally solved it by setting the MTU to 1453 on both my router (Linksys) and in the network settings in MacOS
But now, for some reason the setting is back to automatic, and no changing it seems to stick. when I check back in the settings, after hitting apply, the MTU is back to its default setting.
What is going on here? why won't my settings keep?
*The connection would drop out on N-wifi networks - the wifi would not be connected to the known network

Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server. Windows Server does not do that. I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.

Privacy settings keep resetting on my mac

First of all...
I'm running: OS X Version 10.9.5
Processor: 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Starting today safari opens pop-ups anytime I click on a link or button. I also noticed that my privacy settings keep changing from "third parties and advertisers" to "never."
I have cleaned out my history, deleted all cookies, and started my computer in safe mode. Nothing has helped so far. I have no idea what has caused this. I have had my computer for 4 years or so and this is the first problem I have had. PLEASE HELP! (p.s. I couldn't even had that emoji without a popup appearing.)

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't need to download anything to fix it.
For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware. Although you should read the entire document, the Recovery Procedure at the end describes how to solve your particular problem.

Wacom Intuos4 tablet settings keep resetting after reboot

I am not sure if anyone else is seeing this but on my fresh install of 10.6, I installed the latest drivers for my Wacom Intuos4 tablet and every time I reboot, the configurations are reset to defaults.
I've also noticed that when I go into the Wacom preference pane in System Preferences, along with other preference panes (like Growl, for example), I have to restart the System Preference app.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

This is a known issue with the current Wacom driver and it will have to be fixed by them in an update. In the meantime, you can make the preferences save by quitting System Preferences after changing any tablet settings and then reopening the Wacom prefpane in System Preferences and closing it again.
