My keyboard preference is not saved.

Hi,
I use OS X version 10.9.2 and recently my keyboard preferences are not saved and it's highly annoying since I need to change it every time I restart my computer. I have a Swedish keyboard and I want to use the Swedish leyboard layout. But everytime I re-start my computer it changes back to US keyboard layout. It has never done this before. I don't know what is wrong. Anyone who has had the same issue and know where to problem lies and what I need to do to fix it? In that case I would be very grateful!
Thanks!

I Already did it around 5-6 times before asking in the forum Unfortunately that was why it was so aggrivating. It kept changing to US although I deleted it.

Preference are not saved when leaving Photoshop elements 10

Hi,
Each time I leave photoshop elements 10 (bought on Apple Store), A windows says that I don't have the required rights and my preference are not saved. Each time I restart the program it is re-installing the effect as if it's a new install.
Any change done in preference window is not taken into consideration.
I understood that this is because Photoshop is trying to save on root directory, which is not possible as protected.
Anyone has a solution as it makes it almost unusable :-( How can I change the right or tell photoshop to save the preference file somewhere else?
I use Mountain Lion.
Thanks

I do not need to install when I get from Apple Store. When I start for first time after downloading, photoshop starts first by creating content and effect window. After that the program works normally.
Except when I want to quit, another window open telling me that I don't have the users rights to save my preference.
If I restart again Photoshop it restart from scratch and tries to re-install content and effects, which should only done once.
My problem is that I bought the version 10 in february this year and I was not aware that a new version was coming, so I don't want toinvest another 69 Euros....I would at least have my version 10 working properly.

But should I see a com.apple.mail.plist file ?
No, not in Yosemite.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Java folding preferences are not saved

Hello all,
I have recently installed the latest version (11.1.1.2.0) of Oracle Jdeveloper and it seems that I'm not able to save my preferences for java folding. Every time I restart jdev, the default preferences seem to be restored. This doesn't seem to happen for other preferences like code templates.
Any ideas? Where are these preferences saved? Is there any file I could verify?
Thanks.
wf
P.S. I've also noticed that some of my old preferences were not migrated (e.g. code templates) but maybe this is for another topic.

Sorry on the typo, yes.
Maybe you can try deleting your system directory (OK, don't delete it, just rename it so you can restore after testing), don't migrate prefs and see if the problem reproduces. If it doesn't reproduce, then you'd have a perfect test case to show that migrating prefs breaks something.

Toolbar reset / preferences are not saved

Preferences are not being saved and the Firefox Updated tab shows every time. I updated to 5.0 a while ago, but have just recently started having this problem. I cannot think of any programs I have recently installed.
I updated all my plugins, but currently have everything disabled.
I do not have a Prefs.js or User.js file in my profile folder (and I made sure to show all hidden files). I am not sure if that might be causing the issue.
I have followed all the steps on the following support pages, cleared all history and restarted the computer.

*https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Toolbar%20keeps%20resetting?s=toolbar+reset&as=s
'''--EDIT--'''
I did recently get Comcast and had to install the stupid desktop tools to activate the modem. I uninstalled their software, but I may have started having the problem around that time.

Hey Willy,
Sorry, that was the first thing that came to my mind.
Maybe if you restart and login to that account try those settings you want to do and restart again to see if that works ( it's what i do when i use windows ).
Might or might not work. Just a thought.

Location Service in security and privacy preference pane not saved

Hi,
When I want to activate the location service inside the security and privacy preference pane, it is not save. I can check the box but if I leave the pref pane, and come back, it is still uncheck.
I notice that when I wanted to activate the icloud feature: localized my mac. Thus, it's not working due to my pref in privacy pane not saved.
I notice as well that in safari, there is a location option as well, and I can't activate it, like iCloud feature due to my pref in privacy always unchecked.
I tried to repair the authorization of my disk a couple of times
Is someone experiencing the same issue ?

The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us (Apple users) from speculating about why Apple does or does not take certain actions.
I can't tell you why it is the way it is. But I can say you could go a long way to alleviating your concern by going to System Preferences > Energy Saver and changing the sleep time such that your computer goes to sleep nearly immediately after you stop using it. Then even if you forget to log off, your computer will very quickly go to sleep and require a password.

My preferences are not saving in Photoshop Elements 11

I run elements 11 on a Windows 7 OS. Every time I go to edit a photo and go to the expert tab it used to save my windows settings like, the layers on the right hand side and now EVERY photo I have to pull everything up the way I like it before I can edit. I'm not sure why it's not saving them.

Preferences are not saved properly

A while back, I was doing something "complicated", with several programs open at the same time, and GarageBand crashed. Nothing unusual.
But since then, every time I open GB, two error messages come up: The first one says: "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.garageband.cs":" and lets you click "cancel". The second one says: "The preferences are not loaded completely. Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data." and lets you click "OK".
Then, when I want to quit GB, it doesn't simply shut down like usual, or that is to say, it shuts down, but then the message that says that the program has unexpectedly quit and do you want to send an error repport comes up. But then GB apparently still hasn't shut down entirely, and I have to force quit it in order to quit it completely. Because, I suppose, the program is trying to save the Preferences file, in vain, because something (but what?) is prohibiting it from doing so.
I don't really know what all this means. As far as I can see I haven't actually lost any work because of this yet (but then I haven't searched that deeply), but I would sure like to make sure that doesn't happen.
Does anybody have any clue what's wrong here and what I can do to fix it?
All the best

Safari preferences are not saving in Maverick.

Hi! My Safari preferences (homepage, open new tab with, remove history items, etc.) are not being saved. Whenever I close out of the app and restart, it reverts back to the default settings.
Can you provide any insight?
Thanks!

Specific preferences are not saving

Cookie Settings Are Not Being Saved.
Since around the 22nd of August 2014 my cookie settings are not being saved; after a browser restart a 'do not accept cookies' setting is always changed to 'Accept cookies from sites' and 'Accept third-parties cookies: Never'. This is the only preference setting that is not being saved, and prior to the 22nd of August 2014 (or thereabouts) my cookie settings were being saved.
Around this date I selected an option in the program Spybot-SD 2.4 ( http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors/ ) for 'Third party cookies to never be allowed', this may be what's changing my settings, but maybe it's something else. There is no option in Spybot to reverse the selection.
I contacted Spybot but several suggestions and changes on my system later the issue remains, and Spybot has given up.
I do not have any of the programs installed that are known to force Firefox to use certain settings, as listed at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save .
Thus far I have:
- on URL about:config , changed the network.cookie.cookieBehavior value to 2,
- deleted all the lines in the user.js file,
- uninstalled Spybot completely,
but none of these actions have resolved the issue.
I do not wish to Reset or Reinstall Firefox unless this is the last option. Please advise whether there is another option to fix this issue.

Thank you cor-el, your suggestions solved the problem. Following the instructions at:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
I found that a faulty extension was the culprit, after removing it my cookie settings were being saved again. After restarting Firefox and reinstalling the same extension the cookie settings are still being saved.

Preferences are not saving. Each time I start Fire Fox it acts as if it is my first time starting the program.

Each time I open Fire Fox, it acts as if it is the first time I'm opening the program. The 'Welcome to Fire Fox' first-run page always shows up when I open the program.
None of my preferences, like the custom themes, save - however my bookmarks, which I chose to have transferred over from my previous Fire Fox, seem to be saving.
I have version 5.01
Also, I tried all of the steps from this help page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved?s=settings+don%27t+save+after+firefox+is+closed&as=s
However, I am unable to delete or make changes (such as renaming) the ''Prefs'' file because it keeps telling me that the file is open. However, when ever I go to my task manager there is nothing under the name or description of Fire Fox running. So I can't figure out how to close this file that is supposedly still open.

Which security software (firewall, Anti-virus software) do you have?
Make sure that it isn't locking the .js file(s) in the Firefox Profile Folder

Viewing preferences are not saved / remembered "show pages side by side"

Hello all,
I just uploaded a PDF document to Acrobat.com. After it loads i need to click on "" show pages side by side" or "click to view a single page at a time" to get viewed fitted on the screen. Is there an option that the PDF always load "show pages side by side". I already added those preferences in the PDF but no result in the Acrobat.com function. But if i open it in Acrobat Pro it will open pages side by side" and if i open it in Acrobat it will open side by side.
Does anyone got an idea if this is possible?
Best regards,
Phillip

Hello Phillip,
Thank you for posting to the Acrobat.com forum. It's a very good point that you bring up: there is currently no way to save PDF preview preferences in Acrobat.com (unfortunately, the Acrobat.com PDF preview will not respond to settings within the document, as it's just a preview and not the file itself). We don't currently have any explicit plans to include such a feature, but I would strongly encourage you to bring this idea over to our Acrobat.com Ideas site:
http://ideas.acrobat.com
This site is where people who use Acrobat.com can post their ideas and suggestions to the team and tell us what they'd like to see in the service. This seems like a viable candidate for posting there; I recommend taking a look and posting this thought so that the Acrobat.com team will have the chance to see it and consider it for a future release.
Thanks again!
Rebecca

Keyboard setting (language) not saved in multiple user setting

Since I added multiple user profiles to my MacBook Pro, the system seems to forget the settings of the keyboard (Dutch / belgium) and reverts always to US. The Dutch setting is deleted then. This happens in all user accounts.
I have another MacBook Pro thay is single user, and that one does not have this problem.
OS X 10.9.1

Incidently, I just tried this on another HP Desktop PC , a Pavilion a6702f, also with Win7x64; results were exactly the same odd behaviour.

Preference Changes Not Saving

Every time I change a preference on any application, it will not save or implement the new function. What do I do? Can I restore the computer to an earlier date without loosing files?

Usually, when an app does this, it's because it's .plist file is corrupted. All you have to do is close the app, find it's preference file (usually in +<your home folder>/Library/Preferences+ ), delete it, then re-start the app and re-enter your preferences.
If you really have a lot of them that are corrupted, you may have some sort of problem with the file system on your internal HD. Use Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to do a +Verify Disk+ (not permissions) on it. If that reports errors, you'll have to boot from your Leopard Install disc and use it's copy of DU to repair it (you can't repair the disk you're booted from). Post back if you need to do this but don't know how.
