My G5 loses its settings!
Sometimes when I restart my G5 I lose the settings for some things, the start page in Safari, the Dock i reset to how it was when I first installed it and all my program windows loses the way I set them up.
What is the problem and how do I fix it?
I read your post wrong. Your problem is on your G5 & not your laptop. The laptop has a rechargable battery, but your G5 does not. Look in your G5 Users Manual for the battery type.
For reference, here's some helpful laptop sites.

Why does Firefox 8 lose its settings between sessions?
Version 8 does not hold its settings from one Windows session to another. I have to keep turning the menu bar back on and resizing the window (the default of the left half of the screen -- absolutely WORST place it could be -- keeps coming back!). Fix this or you're going to start losing users by the thousands to Chrome, which never has had these problems. As well, I click Submit Feedback button and nothing happens, the bookmarks toolbar disappears, and the tabs go up top. HORRIBLE!!!

I have to set up my wireless printer every time I use it. Why won't it keep the settings? It defeats the purpose of having a wireless printer if I have to reconnect it everytime I use it. I'm using Windows XP and have a Cisco wireless adapter on my computer..
Do you have a wireless router? What brand?
You could try to set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (ends with .1) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

3G iPod loses all of its settings if untouched for a day or more
I have a 15GB third generation iPod that works fine except for one thing -- when I let it sit for about 36 hours and it goes into "deep sleep" mode, it loses all of its settings and it asks me to choose a language when I press a button to turn it back on. All settings are lost but data (songs) are intact. This drives me nuts because I don't like the default settings (no backlight, stupid clicking sound, no clock in header, etc.). I read about this problem a long time ago but I can't find a solution now. Can anybody help me?
By the way, I already updated the firmware to the latest (as of June 15, 2006) and I sync with a Mac mini.Nice avatar, Lyssa. Good advice, too, although it's really just a workaround for the real problem. I've been trying to wake the thing manually each day but sometimes I forget. This empty playlist will work until I can fix the problem. Does anyone else have a suggestion?
By the way, if you're wondering why I don't just use the iPod every day it's because I'm giving it away and have a different iPod I use myself. I used this one every day for almost three years and now I'm giving it to my mother so it's just sitting on a shelf until I see her next. I want to wow her with all of the iPod's coolness but if the thing resets all the time like a dumb Windows computer, she won't be impressed. -
I just bought an iPhone 4S 3 days ago, but its battery seems to lose 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tuned off some location services, bluetooth, and even siri, and made its settings similar to my two-year old iPhone 4. The 4S can last much shorter. I’m not sure what I can do with the 4S?
I am having the exact same problem with my iphone 5.
I took it back to the Apple store 2 days ago and they gave me a new one, but they told me not to restore it from backup cos if something (an app) is corrupted it will happen again. The only thing they could keep was my contacts cos they did something there that allowed them to transfer them to the new phone. I went home, and downloaded only ONE app (facebook), and guess what - THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING ON THE BRAND NEW PHONE! It is driving me insane as I cant get through the day without my phone.
Really hoping someone has a fix that will work -
HP Photosmart 7510 occasionally loses its wireless settings
I have a HP Photosmart 7510 which occasionally loses its WPA-PSK secret and manually set IP address.
To solve the problem I have to re-enter the SSID's WPA-PSK secret and set the manual IP address (I prefer having the printer on a specific IP address).
To my knowledge the printer has not been powered down and there were no power failure - though I would expect these values to have been stored in non-volatile memory.
Is this a known issue?
If so is there a firmware fix - currently running VEP1CN1137CR(113730)I can assure you that it is not a router issue. It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS. After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.
The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch). But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made). The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue. However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable. Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network. The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue. I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.
Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request. This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...). I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix. I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,

Why does my iphone lose its network connection
Have a new iphone and a wireless network at home. The phone connects to the network ok, but as I move around the house it loses its connection. When attempts are made to reconnect the iphone replies "incorrect password", despite the fact that the password was stored from the previous connection. Attempts to reenter the password do not help. So far the only thing that allows a reconnect is to completely reset the network settings on the iphone, after which it connects once but then disconnects again later. The issue may be related to the fact that there are two wireless routers in the house and the disconnections may be related to moving from the domain of one to another.
Hi Frayyan,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will give you some insight about how to optimize your settings to improve the battery life on your iPhone:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged.
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

My Galaxy SIII just recently started to lose its charge more frequently
In the past week, I have noticed that my phone has started to lose its charge more frequently than it has in the past. I fully charged my phone last night around 7 pm and usually that would last me all day today. I woke up this morning and had already discharged so much and was in yellow, needing to be recharged. I uninstalled a few apps that I had on there that I hadn't used. But the charge has been great since I've had this phone. Any ideas as to why this just started happening? Do I need to change something in my settings?
I've got exactly the same problem. I tried my other SIII battery (I had bought a spare) and same problem. At another website:
Following installation of the Verizon Jelly Bean update people said that the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S3 started to drain faster when the handset was doing nothing overnight. So we took the version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Verizon on Jelly Bean and charged it fully. The battery went down overnight to around 898%, by 7am in the morning. We then did the same with the device that is still running ICS (Cricket Samsung Galaxy S3) and checked it at the same time. We found out that it had gone down to 96%. There is no way of being sure why this happens, however you can turn off Google Now location services. Apparently Google Now and it services may be checking more often ever since Jelly Bean was installed.
I haven't called VZN yet to inquire. Anyone know for sure what's happening -- and more important, how to fix it! -
When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its orginal color.
When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its original color. Ex. the very clear blue that I am using turns dark and "dirty". ( my RGB is : 5,125, 255 - when I type this I get a " out of gamut warning" a little yellow icon. When I click on it indesign automatically changes the RGB into: 67, 117, 187)
I have worked with indesign for 6 years and never experienced this before. I am guessing it has something to due with that the png is in RGB and indesign in cmyk, but I have no idea what to do about it?Out of Gamut means the color cannot be printed in your current workspaces using CMYK inks. You would see a preview of the converted color if you move into Overprint Preview, use Proof Colors, or there is transparency and the blend space is set to CMYK.
If this is destined for screen use, then the color doesn't matter, but you should be sure the blend space is set to RGB. -
Apple Mail 5.3 seems to corrupt/lose its place in message id sequence numbers
OS/X 10.7/Apple mail 5.3 seems to corrupt (or at least lose its place in) the message id sequence number. Two days ago, around 2:0x mail stopped fetching email from a pop server that I own (all installed through WHM and CPanel at WestHost). This happened again today sometime around 2:0y.
Logging into webmail showed a number of emails pending. Bouncing mail or restarting OS/X yielded no joy.
When I delete the email account in Mail->Preferences->Accounts and then recreate it, it fetches all the mail as expected.
Any ideas on how to figure out what is going on?
Note that CPanel did undergo a big upgrade to 11.34 on Tuesday, so my initial thought was that was culprit, but since delete/recreate of the mail account fixes, I am not so sure.
thanks in advance,
Mike.Forgot to add, no one else using this pop server reported any problems (and I checked).

Forcing JFrame to lose its focus programatically
Hello everyone,
I have a JFrame with a button over it. Now I wants that when I click on the button,
my JFrame should lose its focus.
Can anybody tell me whether it is possible in java or not?
Thanks in advance.It depends upon the underlying OS
On Windows XP it goes to the last application which was in focus.
For eg- If I first open up a notepad and after that my java application the once my application loses its focus it should go to notepad.
But i think that will be handled by the OS itself because when you minimizes an application then the application which had the focus before this one will automatically get the focus. -
