Notifications preferences don't hold

Small annoyance here, but when I change my notifications preference from banners to alerts, they revert back to banners after restart. Anyone else having that issue?

Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
4. Next, open the Terminal application.
Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
5. Close the Terminal app.
6. Restart your computer.
The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

User font preferences don't hold

I see that back in September, another Brooklynite posted about this problem that I have always had for iChat (right now v.429, but has always been a problem for me). http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1024102&#1024102
Basically, my default user settings have the font set to Helvetica 12pt FRACTIONS of all things! So my messages, incoming and outgoing, are complete gobblety-gook. I have managed to set the incoming messages to a different font, which seems to hold (thank god), but the outgoing won't change. MADDENING! Especially when saving transcripts for business is important. Any ideas?

HI Caltlin,
The solution is to disable Helvetica Fractions from the whole system with Font Book.
Helvetica fractions has been a problem for some Apple Applications for a while.
If the Font is not acitve on the MAc then iChat will not be ale to use it for Incoming or Outgoing Text messages.

You have tested the headphones on another device?

ISO web wrapped app(s) for Google Mail and Calendar that have push notifications but don't download any data

Does anyone know which apps are web wrapped for allowing IMAPing to mail & calendar have push notifications but don't download data to the device?
Basically, our enterprise would like to allow users to use personal iOS devices to access mail, calendar and contacts (we're on Google Apps). However, our strict security requirements are such that we need to make sure the app isn't being "overly helpful" and saving the accessed data in a cache or pulling it down to the device in any way.
My quick test for checking if apps don't pull down data to reside on the device is to put the device in Airplane Mode. If you can see your email or calendar
entries with an app when it's in airplane mode, then it's pulling the data down or caching it in some way.
I've tested the Google Gmail app and the Google Apps Browser from G-Whizz and both fail this test since they cache the last mail and/or calendar entries accessed.
The only legit way for users to access our enterprise mail and calendar is through the browser only. However, they can't get push notifications or alerts for new emails or from their calendar. The concern and likely outcome is that users will just set up an account on the native Mail app using IMAP, either knowing and disregarding that it's a security violation or not really understanding that they're committing a security violation.
I gotta believe there's an app for that.
Any help be greatly appreciated!

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.

IMac isn't saving Notification preferences.

Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences. I know it's an issue, because I've seen it in other forums. Any help?

This procedure will revert your settings in the Notifications preference pane to the defaults.
Back up all data before continuing.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names. Move the files to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate the settings.
*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 and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Why don't Hold keyframes work on Audio Level?

Hi -
In the past (AE6.5) I recall using Hold frames to keep the Audio Level really low until the exact frame I wanted to bring it up to 0db. Now in CS4 the Hold keyframes don't work that way. I wind up using lots of extra keyframes and sliced up layers. It's pretty messy.
For example I have a narration where I have to replace one word in the center of a sentence.
Is there a setting somewhere or, is there a new way to adjust audio levels quickly besides using key frames that someone could tell me about??
Why don't Hold keyframes work on Audio levels anymore??
Thanks,
JL

"adjusting your Quicktime settings to use less hardware acceleration and a different audio buffer duration"
In AE Preferences I have "Audio Hardware" but no mention of QT. It's currently set on "Built-in Output".
Under "Output" I have an Audio Block Duration set at 01:00.
In QT preferences there is nothing about hardware acceleration or buffer duration.
Are any of these related to what you suggest?

Mail Notification Preferences Bug

Is anybody having a problem with  mail remembering notification preferences on emails? I'm running OS X Yosemite on a MacBook Pro 13 inch (Early 2013) I've gone through the normal steps in preferences to disable the notifications and went to the Genius Bar where they showed me how to do it too. The settings aren't being remembered.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Customer Master - Debit Notification Preferences

In the Customer master, on the Payment Details tab, there is a section at the bottom called "Debit Notification Preferences", under which I can choose a delivery method (email, fax, printed) and then enter the corresponding information (email address, fax #).
Is this information actually used anywhere? It leads me to believe that there's a tool that will look at this information and automatically email or fax an invoice. Or is it purely for reference purposes (and for building your own delivery/transmission tool)?
I've been unable to find any information in the AR user/reference/imp guide, TCA guides, etc. Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The debit notification preferences specify the mode of communication to the customers about the payments received from them.
I have requirement that, based on this field I have to do bursting. if its email , copy should be emailed and if its fax we should be Faxing it.
Though I am having difficulty finding the table which stores it. any help?

Notification Settings don't stick

I'm running Yosemite (10.10)
I have 3 Macs and this happens on all 3. (mid 2011 Macbook Air 13", Late 2013 iMac 27", 2013 Macbook Air Retina 15")
I go into Notification settings and then click on Messages. I change the Messages alert style from Banners to Alerts (because I like it to stay on the screen when someone messages me). Then a few hours or so later it changes back to Banners on it's own.
Anyone know what's going on?

After this week Mac OsX update combined 10.7.3. System Preferences don't work

All items in system preferences don't get saved/applied. By now the dock doesn't appear on my screen, dashboard and spaces tabs don't work, desktop and screen saver don't save changes or apply so desktop is grey. Trackpad functions don't work.
Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks.

Few have solved this problem by repairing disk
or reinstalling Lion using Recovery HD.
Tough but.

Preferences are not holding in IDCS3

if you quit out of IDCS3 the preferences are not holding.
tried resetting ctrl+opt+com+shft & replacing ID prefs but they will not hold after repeining the program?
any sugestions?

Sounds as if maybe the installation was damaged in the crash. If it were my system, I'd get the CS5 clean tool (Adobe - Adobe CS5 Clean Script), which can also clean earlier versions,and follow the directions for uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling.
Are you running Windows or Mac?
