Not saving preferences after change in music folder

I've successfully moved the Itunes location (folder) before on my laptop, changing the place where music was stored, but I had major problems getting that IBM Thinkpad to work with my brand new Ipod. So I brought the external hard drive back down to my old PC. So here's what happens. I follow all the directions for making that external drive my Itunes folder location (Edit-Preferences-Advanced-Change folder, etc) but then the next time I start up the program, it has reverted back to C:.../mymusic/itunes. Very frustrating and I have no idea why. It didn't happen on the other computer.
A similar problem is that on the laptop, I did not have to keep signing in to the Itunes store, now I do. Again, Itunes seems to forget every change from it's last session. Any ideas

Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes

Hi!
I am currently attempting to port forward on my Linksys E1200 Router and am not succeeding in saving my settings. I am attempting to open port 25565 though both Single Port Forwarding and Port Range Forwarding, and whenever I click the "save settings" button, I receive a full window message stating that my changes have been saved. Upon clicking this, I return to the previous screen whereupon my changes have been erased and my port has not been forwarded. Can anyone assist me with this? I've searched for hours through forums and tech help websites, but I can't find anyone else with this issue.
Issue:
Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes.
I have tried:
-Restarting the Modem
-Restarting the browser
-Restarting the computer
-Tried to Port Forward through both the Single and Ranged Port Forwarding

Hi there. You can try another browser or a different computer. If it is the same thing, upgrade the firmware of the router. You can refer to this link on how to http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0a6881b90224439b92c8d8f19ca42e5d_21511.xml&pid=80&...

Lion not saving preferences

I just switched to a new retina macbook, with os 10.7. I'm having trouble with Linotype Font Explorer X not retaining its settings - previously, you could turn a font on & it would stay on. Although sometimes it does retain some of the font settings, but not all.
I've also noticed other programs occasionally not saving preferences.
Is this a known issue with Lion?

Make sure the systemprefs plist file is not locked. If it is, unlock it. If it isn't, delete it then restart.
To find the file
1. Make Finder active. Choose 'Go' from the menu bar, hold down the option key.
2. Choose Library (you must have the 'option' key held down).
3. Go to Preferences > com.apple.systemprefereces.plist
4. Right-click (or hit 'cmd-i' on the keyboard) and choose 'Get Info'. If the 'Locked' option is ticked, untick it. Then Restart. If the 'Locked' option is not ticked, close the dialogue, remove the file to trash. Restart.
5. What happens now is that system will restart at default system prefs. However, it should now save your new settings. To test it, just set one of the setting that you know didn't 'stick before', then restart and see if all is good.

ITunes Music Folder Missing on external hard drive after changing iTunes Media Folder Location from MacBook Hard Drive. Not deleted...just missing?

I store my iTunes media folder on my external hard drive and can no longer find it there. It seemed to becomd lost after I re-designated the default iTunes media location. I had downloaded some things from iTunes without my external hard drive plugged in and when they downloaded they downloaded to the default location on my Macbook Pro. In recognizing that, I wanted to move those files from the hard drive on my MacBook Pro to the external hard drive. When I re-selected the location as the external hard drive a copy process began. I cancelled the copy process fearing the small number of files from my Macbook Pro would over-write all of the files on my external hard drive so I quit the copy process. Now I do not see my "iTunes Music" folder on my external hard drive. I fear that I have somehow lost the path but I believe the content is still on my external hard drive although I no longer see the "iTunes Music" folder on my external hard drive. I know I didn't delete it, but it isn't there. Is there a way to make it re-appear? I would really appreciate any guideance anyone has.
Thank you.
Best,
Matt

When you change the location in preferences it tells iTunes to start, from this point on, storing new media files in the new location. It then presents you with the option to move any old files in their current locations to the new location. It doesn't move the library files which are not media files. Read the links below to understand how iTunes works because you are the one with the computer in front of you and are in the better position to understand how it stands as regards to iTunes files.
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
Now, did you keep the whole library on the external drive, or did you keep just media? From your description of the situation it sounds as if you kept the whole library there and when the external was not attached it returned to default location on the internal drive. What you should have done then was plug in the external drive, hold down the option key, and guide iTunes to the library file on the external. At this stage you could have dealt with the mislocated new files on an individual basis.
I guess the key question is, did your trying to move the couple of new media files to the external drive overwrite the iTunes folder there, which because you then canceled may have also just resulted in it being deleted. I am not going to test the theory on my system.
How big was your library on the external? If it was 40GB do you now suddenly have 40 GB free?
Look for any iTunes folders on the external drive. In view options turn on "calculate all folders sizes" and see if there are any big ones.

30EA1--Database Diff not working even after changing Tools Preferences

Trying to use Database Diff but even after changing Tools > Preferences > Database > Licensing, I still get the error message saying I have to make changes to the Licensing check box. Anyone have a workaround or experience the same problem?

When you connect to any database error disappears, but still it's a bug.

Mail Not Saving Toolbar Configuration Changes

After recovering my mail by deleting the Mail Data Envelope Index files, any changes that I make to Mail's Toolbar do not save. I can make the changes (add the printer icon, etc.). Close the Message Viewer window. Open it again. Then they are there in the Toolbar. But when I quit Mail and open it again, the toolbar is back to its default (and the sidebar items are collapsed even if I expanded them all). Does anyone know where the Toolbar preferences are saved? I tried deleting the Mail preferences file in the Container folder in my Library. That did not solve the problem.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Change of music folder location... songs cant be found.

im using itunes 7.2 on mac os x recently bought an external hard drive, and after i bought it i transferred all my music to the external drive, put the old library in the trash and reset the itunes music folder location under preferences/advanced/general. everything was working and playing fine until today when i emptied the trash. despite the fact that my itunes was meant to be finding the music from my exterrnal hard drive, apparently it had been playin it from my old library, in the trash, coz now whenever i try and play a song i get a " the song could not be used becausee the original file could not be found" message.... only the songs ive added since i changed music folder location play... despite the whole library being in the new folder location. i dont want to go through 30gbs of music and select the location manually, whats happening?
Cheers,
Ben

When you click "Yes" to find the file, you're supposed to browse to the actual song file on your computer to show iTunes where it has been moved. Are you saying you can't browse to the file, or you can't find the file?
If you can't find the file--did you move all of your song files to your new computer, too? The library file only contains links (file paths) to where the song is located on your computer. You also have to move the music folder (with all of your music files) and the artwork folder (with all the cover art).

Help: iTunes freezes when I try to change the music folder location

Hi everyone,
I want to change my iTunes music folder location but every time I click on the change button (Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Change) iTunes freezes. All of my music is in an external drive and I recently reinstalled windows, so I had to back up the old iTunes folder and replace the default one (after the reinstallation) with it, but now I can't set the new location of the drive because of this problem.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
A.

Okay. Finally called Apple, and they said that this is something to do with the latest iTunes - 10.6 - and the only way to solve it is to restore my iPod, and then arrange it so I manually manage my music, etc. Which I learned how to do here: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3740-how-to-manually-manage-music-and-videos-in-itunes It worked. Woo-hoo!

Outlook 2010 not saving Sent emails in Sent Items Folder

This problem does not exist on this forum. Using Outlook 2010 (V 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit) on Windows 7 64-bit with three accounts: 1 account is Gmail and 2 accounts are IMAP. The IMAP accounts inexplicably stopped saving Sent emails. The
Gmail account still saves the Sent emails.
Tried already:
1. Changing the Sent Items setting from Save on folder on computer to Save on server and then changed back to the way it was, which is correct.
2. Created a new profile and entered the email settings. Still no sent mails being saved.
3. Ran Outlook repair. No luck.
Not sure where to go with this next. Never have run into a problem like this before.

Hi,
Please make sure you have the emails sent to the recipients successfully, if not, the emails may be saved to other folders if you have the following setting:
File tab -> Options -> Mail -> If you checked
Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,
Save to this folder, you may have your emails stored in the selected folder if the emails are not sent successfully.
Please visit the Webmail site, could you find the sent items there?
Try Reset View, then try to search for the sent emails by keywords in Advanced Find, can you find the emails?
Kindly check the following settings:
File tab -> Options -> Mail
-> under Save messages, make sure you have checked Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
If none of the above helps, feel free to contact me again.
Regards.

Yosemite Mail mail not saving preferences

OS X 10.10, Mail 8.0
I have several mail accounts set up, a mix of POP and IMAP
One IMAP account does not use secure authentication.
If I set the preferences for the account under the Advanced tab, and tick 'Allow insecure authentication', then save preferences, I can send mail to the account.
However if I return to Mail after 5 minutes or so the preference has changed back to disallow insecure authentication, and that mail account no loner works. I get a message:
"Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk."
I have a POP account for a different email address with the same provider, and the preference to allow insecure authentication is saved.
I have tried deleting the account and setting it ip again, but the IMAP presence to use insecure authentication is still not saved.

I have this issue as well. This includes the inability of font preferences to stick, and the toolbar changes to be retained.

Changing Itunes Music Folder

I was running out of space on my old hard drive and need space for music so I got a new hard drive. I went to apple.com and read the article on changing the itunes music folder location to the new drive. In the article it said to click "ok" when done, but there is no "ok" button to click so after I change the desired itunes music folder location and exit, it just goes back to my old location. This question probably has a simple answer, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dell Windows XP

In iTunes, if you go to edit/preferences/advanced/general, you should see this screen (and the 'ok' button at the bottom right corner).

JDeveloper 11g Not saving preferences

Hi.
I'm not beeing able to save my IDE preferences. For example, by default the option Line Gutter - Show Line Numbers, is not checked. If I check this option, and click ok, when I open the preferences again, the option is not checked.
This is happening for any option I change, another example is the option JSP and HTML Visual Editor - Show design time messages in log. I cannot set this property.
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely,
John

I think I've solved the problem.
I started JDev, in console mode (using jdev.exe).
When I clicked ok in the preferences dialog, I got the following stackTrace:

This led me to think that my proxy configuration was wrong. Went to the proxy configuration option, and I noticed that "Proxy server requires authentication" was checked, but my user and password were null. I filled these fields and clicked test Proxy. Got the same stackTrace, and after clicking ok, returning to the prferences dialog box, the user and password was not saved. What I did was, wen to the Check for updates under the help menu, and when it tried to connect, it couldn't because there were no user and password information saved. It showed me a dialog to put the user and password. After I've filled these fields, it did connect to Oracle update site. Closed that window, and went back to the preferences dialog. Then the user and password were saved correctly. Clicking on the test Proxy button, did not give me any stackTrace. Tried to change the Line Gutter setting, clicked ok, and the re-opened the preferences dailog. The properties was saved correctly.
Thanks for all the help.

Photoshop not saving preferences

I am having an issue with Photoshop not saving my preferences. I have created my own workspace but everytime I quit the application and restart it I still have to go through and reset all my preferences. Any thoughts on this?

I believe that would be the date that our tech team installed CS5 on my new computer. As a side note, our tech team consists of all PC people, there isn't one Mac expert among them and they didn't seem too confident setting the user accounts up. The entire team has had nothing but issues with our brand new macs + CS5. But I am not sure what part of that is Apple/Adobe/Tech fault.
When I "get info" on the settings folder my user account does not appear in the list. I changed the settings so that everyone has read & write permissions and that solved the problem. But that seems odd to me. Like I might have a much bigger permissions issue...?
Anyway, problem solved! Thanks Chris!
