OSX 10.7.4. will not save ANY of my preferences (system or application -- Safari, Office, etc.)

I am running System OSX 10.7.4 on three different MacBooks. It will not save any of my preferences (system or application based), passwords, log-ins and keychain. Even Safari did not save imported bookmarks. I am running Office For Mac 2011 (v 14.2.1) and Outlook will work for a day or two and then I get a rebuild database error message, losing everything. Word, et all, will not save any preferences, not even recent files.
I did a full erase and clean system reinstall and a fresh install of Office. This problem occurs on all 3 of my MacBook, 2- MacBook Pro’s and a MacAir. One of the MacBook Pro’s is BRAND NEW.
Any ideas, any fixes out there?

I have what seems to be a similar issue. Are you having other issues like mine?
Macbook air      11-inch, Late 2010
                        4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software           Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have updated the latest combi update from the apple site and still have the same issue.
No matter what I try every time I restart my Mac all my preferences and applications reset. (Also preferences don't save when exiting the preference folder)
For example when in >system preferences>general -untick the 'restore windows when quitting and re-open apps' I exit preferences and then go back in to check it has automatically reticked the box.
I have deleted 2 applications several times (including removing the icon from the dock) and each time after restarting it shows a question mark on the dock where I had deleted it from.
On restart I loose downloads and history in safai.
On restart it re opens documents and applications I have quite even after unticking the restore applications on restart box (the one that comes up when shutting down or restarting)
I have been trying to solve this for a month now and it really is frustrating the **** out of me.
helpppp pleaseee...

Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

Firefox 7 will not save any passwords

Since installing firefox 7 it will no longer prompt me to save passwords on any sites. All settings in Security are correct. I still have 3.6 installed in another folder.

PASSWORDS NOT Being Saved:
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)
Also in '''Tools > Options > Security''', make sure you have check-marked "Remember passwords for sites", anythings listed in Exceptions will not be saved.

How to create a UDF on BP Master Data that will not save any data?

I need to create several UDFs on the BP Mater Data screen that will be configured to automatically show a balance of 0-30Days, 31-60Days, 61-90Days etc.
I am currently able to do this although I cannot seem to find a way to only show the current data without saving it.
Eg. I have a UDF with an SQL statement that shows the current BPu2019s 0-30Day Balance, but the BP Master Data screen always changes to u2018Updateu2019 every time the UDF balance is updated.
I am looking for a way to show this information on the BP Master Data screen similarly to the default BP Account Balance without saving the data.
I am working with SAP B1 8.81 PL09 and B1UP 4.3.0.0. Thank you.

Thanks Gordon, I appreciate your assistance. I can get all the fields to display as I want them, but my issue is having to save the BP Master Data form every time I wish to move away from it.
Is there anywhere in SAPB1 that stores a running total of account balance for 30Days, 60Days, etc..? (just to be sure)
I might also try to create a new tab on the BP Master Data form that shows an SQL Aging Report and see if I can pick up the info from that embedded report.
Any other ideas would be also appreciated.

Fire fox will not save any passwords even after checking the save passwords box

I don't know how else to say it, the save password does not work even after checking the save password box if I can't get it fixed I'll use some one else

Go to Tools | Options and choose the Security tab from the Options dialog. Check the "Remember passwords for sites" checkbox. Click the Exceptions button to make sure the site you want to remember is not listed.
From that point on, Firefox will record the username and password combination you enter for a site provided it can recognized those fields in the website form. If the username and password are not already recorded for that site, a bar will expand down at the top of the webpage below the page tabs asking you if you want to remember or ignore that new information. Clicking the Remember button will record that information for that site. When you visit that same form again, either the single recorded username and password should automatically appear in the form fields, or a drop-down list of choices will appear when you set the focus to that field. The choices can be filtered by typing the first letters.
If the "Save password" checkbox you mentioned is displayed on the webpage, it is not a part of Firefox and is a function of the webpage of that site, so it does not affect the ability of Firefox to remember usernames and passwords for a particular site.

Photoshop will NOT save any paths! Grrrrr!

Is anyone else having trouble lately with Photoshop not saving paths? I am a seasoned user and am on a Mac, have all the latest software, etc. I save the path, make it a clipping path, save the file, close the file and then upon reopening, the path is gone. Is there a silly setting I accidentally hit? This is crazy-making!

Well, I take back what I said... I finally got in front of my workstation and tried it.
File - New, created a path with the Pen Tool, then File - Save As, JPEG.
Sure enough, when I opened it back up the path was still there.
See if you can open this up and see a path in it...

Ff will not save any login information re installed still not doing it

for the last 5 days ff has started logging me out of my sites (forums etc). Re-installed still doing the same, and i have noticed everytime i open up ff it searches for add ons it has never done this before.
I have it on my netbook and desktop, the laptop has exactly the same settings but they keep me logged in whereas the laptop wont.
I totally uninstalled every trace of ff from the laptop before re-installing from fresh, if i log into a site, close ff it has logged me out.
Up until a week ago it had no problem at all keeping me logged into any site.

CC AI keeps crashing - will not save

All of the work I did and saved in AI for the past several days is gone. When I try to create a new file AI will not save any changes and crashes. I've been using CC for 9 months and it has worked great. Over the past two weeks I have had a couple of AI files that have lost everything and AI is having a problem saving anything. What do I do? I can't afford to keep losing work.

Aperture 3.0.2 will not save Print Presets

I am extremely frustrated right now as I burn through very expensive paper. Aperture 3.0.2 will not save any of my Print Presets. I have two Epson Printers a Epson Photo 900 and and Epson R2400. I want to print to the Epson R2400 and when I do, the photo comes out all screwed up it keeps putting in Adobe PDF 9 as the printer. I had my printer completely dialed in and could print orders with no problem in Aperture 2.0 lost all those settings upgrading to 3.0. Attempted to duplicate them, but it will not save my Printer or Paper Size. I have an order to fill and it's looking like it's going to cost me money because of all the paper I am wasting trying to get this to print. Tried numerous posted tricks and nothing is working.

I discovered the image quality was a more basic duh thing. Had to clean my print heads. However, the Presets will STILL not save my printer or paper size.

RVS4000 Firmware v2.0.0.3 will not save settings

I have a RVS4000 that will not save any settings. Click on, for instance, Disable WAN requests. Click save and it goes back to Enable.
If I create a VPN tunnel, click save, it clears all settings like I didn't type anything.
What is going on?

I recently purchased the RVS-4000 v2 and setup a single VPN tunnel. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware v2.0.0.3. Today, I attempted to add a second tunnel and none of the settings could be saved. I found that this was not limited to the VPN settings, so the issue is more widespread; although, I was able to do deletions of tunnels, so this appears to be some sort of global-edit-save issue.
My workaround for the moment was to go back 1 level in the firmware, which of course, is always dangerous with any brand or device. I was not comfortable doing that, but it works for the moment.
Looking at the security issues which v2.0.0.3 addressed, I (and other users) are at a severe disadvantage if we are forced to use firmware prior to v2.0.0.3, and if we do, then we lose edit-save, at the least for VPN, which is why I purchased this to begin with.
So, I'll throw this out to Cisco - the first report of this issue was in August. It is now almost December and there is NO FIX? Cisco is supposed to be *the name* in networking devices. What is going on there? Was ANY Q/A done on this firmware? Now that you know it's broken, why isn't it fixed? I recognize that now you are looking to retire the 4000, but I for one can tell you that this is going to leave a bad feeling with this author if it is done without resolving the obvious issues. I am very sure you have a firmware engineer who knows what happened here and has a fix. So, why isn't it out here for end users? Product manager - where are you?

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

Well, not sure if having the disk in a firewire case or over a network would have made a difference.
The solution of making a disk image as in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2664 was what worked for me.
After, mounting the disk image the Migration Assistant completed without errors. So far everything seems to be working like it did on 10.4.11.
