Password save option not saving

I have Win 7 and am still getting used to stuff, I have tried run as administrator, run as user, disable master password, enable master password but nothing allows me to save my passwords into the password manager!
Help, this is getting frustrating

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

"Desktop & Screen Saver" settings not saving upon reboot.

"Desktop & Screen Saver" settings not saving upon reboot. Settings are always set back to factory default upon computer startup. Need help! Please!

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've 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.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’renot going to reset a password.
Select your boot 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.

Why firefox has removed all my passwords and now not saving them when i am trying to save them afresh! It is compelling me to lookout for other options, on a serious note.

OS: Ubuntu 9.10,
Firefox: 3.5.9.
Suddenly, all my saved passwords are lost and it is not storing any new passwords either. Although the save password button appear, but clickiing on it doesn't do ANYTHING. It is really frustrating.

Hi.
I don't know why Firefox erased your passwords, but you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
As for getting it to ask again, it has been reported that reinstalling Firefox will solve the issue.

Widget options not saved

Since the STB update I cannot save changes to the options of a widget. Specifically, I load Weatherbug and it knows only one zip code. I hit Options and enter more zipcodes. Weatherbug now knows multiple zipcodes and works appropriately but if i exit the widget and immediately go back into it, only the first zipcode remains. I cannot make it save my changes.

OPEN SAVE option not coming for attachments

Hi Experts,
we are showing the different types of attachments for Purchase order and Purchase requisition in our web dynpro abap application.
when the user opens a PO and clicks on attachment button using my custom designed web dynpro application
it shows a popup window with the list of attachments there for that particular PO.
if we click on the attachment link (file download UI element) ... it should open a window(like popup) and give the option for save and open which is not happening for .msg(email message) and pdf file formats.
but by defalut we are getting the save open option for excel, ppt, and other file type attachments and the same not happedning for .msg and pdf types.
please suggest.
Thanks in advance
Sateesh J

Hi Sateesh,
Please make sure the behaviour property of FileDownload UI should be set as 'allowsave' to enable the functionality which you need.
If you are facing the issue even after setting it as "allowsave" then please elaborate more.
Thanks,
Vishesh

PDF Setup Options not saving

I have been having trouble in Frame when I create a PDF (I think since Frame 9). Any time I tried to add or remove a paragraph tag to the Include Paragraphs it wouldn’t save my settings. This wasn’t a big deal at first. But when I started creating new manuals I started getting frustrated. Today I finally reached a point where I had to figure out what was going on. The first thing I did was notice that I didn’t have the most up-to date version of Frame. I’m all up-to-date now but it didn’t solve the problem.
The solution - For some reason it's taking the PDF setup information for the whole book from the first document. So what you have to do is open the first document and then Save As PDF (you have to open it, you can’t just select it and then Save As PDF). Set up everything the way you want the same as usual. Then once you save that you can then do Save As PDF for the whole book and it works. If you need to change a setting or change a paragraph tag, you have to open the first doc again and save it there. It won't keep your changes in the book, just the first doc.

Thanks for this post! I just had the same problem with FrameMaker 10, and it worked as you described.
Researching the matter, I discovered that while this behavior is undesirable, it's actually documented and works as designed! Chapter 13, page 464 of "Using FrameMaker 10" (framemaker_10_help.pdf) has the following note:
"In a book, the joboptions saved with the first file are applied to all files in the book. To get the desired results in the exported PDF file, open the first file. Then choose Format > Document > PDF Setup, adjust the settings, and click Set."
How about moving those settings into the book file where they belong?

.svgz web preview in save options not working

Hi there
I'm a longtime Photoshop / After Effects type with rather less experience in Illustrator, using a newly built PC system
I've just gone to save a diagram created in Illustrator as a .svgz in order to pass to the web guy, but wanted to preview it first, so hit the Web Preview button in the Save dialogue box.... and nothing happens. I have several browser windows opn - IE9 64bit, Chrome - but the svgz appears in none of them
I presumed maybe I need to link Illustrator to a particular web browser somehow, but can't seem to find reference to how to do this, if it is necessary...
How do I get the web preview to happen?
All help appreciated...
I'm using latest Illustrator in Win 7 64bit
jON

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Win 7 64 bit, and I cannot get Web Preview to work when suning Export, and exporting a file to Flash swf with frames. I have IE set on the Save for Web option, but no such option exists in the Export dialogue box. This option worked fine for the teacher in the help video that shows how to animate a snowboarder graphic when exporting to svf, but I cannot find anything dealing with this in the forums. Are you aware of why this is not working and how to implement it?

Energy Saver Preferences not saving

Hello!
The title of the question says it all. No matter what I select in "energy saver" preferences, the settings are *not* being saved, and revert to putting the computer to sleep after 10 minutes (?!) and the display to sleep after 5 minutes. (These settings are useless for my usage.)
I have Googled the problem, and even searched this forum. I have tried everything people have suggested, and still the settings don't save.
I've moved the .plist file out of the folder.
I've deleted the .plist file
I've even changed the file permissions to "read-only" for System, Wheel and Everyone.
Still the settings revert.. What could possibly be interfering with my settings? I only install software from the AppStore and an occasional game from "BigFish Games" game manager, I have never installed anything like "CleanMyMac" or anything like that.
Any help would be *greatly* appreciated!
Thanks!

OK!
I upgraded to Yosemite today, and am enjoying the update so far.
However, with regards to this thread, the problem persists. Every single time I restart, the energy settings revert to putting the computer to sleep after 10 minutes and the display to sleep after 5 minutes..
Ridiculous!! A whole version upgrade and this simple little problem remains unfixed. Sigh. Maybe on my next day off I'll take the time to totally erase & reinstall Yosemite -- maybe then it'll finally work as it's supposed to.

"Save As" not saving

Windows 7, I-920 processor, 12GB ddr3 memory, ATI 5770 video, multiple, 1 TB, 7200 rpm drives for images and backups. CS6 13.0.1 X64
I've had this periodically ever since going to CS6, but it's rare and seemingly random. I'm editing, I open a Nikon D300 .dng from Lightroom as a Smart object. Add layers, do fiddling, do a Save As. Works fine... Repeat several times. Works fine every time...
EXCEPT when it doesn't....... Open the file exactly the way every other one gets opened. Create layers, make changes, etc. Do a "Save As".... And it never gets off "0% saved".
No error, no popup, no nothing. It just sits there.
Nothing in the event log for application or system. No controller problems, no disk problems, no nothing problems.
I let the thing sit for 10 minutes in the HOPE that everything would get written to the recovery by the auto-save, then finally crashed Photoshop.
Re-opened. No recovery.
I can redo what I did, but if this is intermittently going to happen, does anyone have a way to either force Photoshop to stop trying to save so I can try again, force it to write everything with the auto-save, or force it to spit out some kind of error so I have a clue what's going on?

Does the silence mean nobody's ever seen this, or that there's no workaround?

Privacy option not saving correctly.

In the privacy options, why is it that when I chose the "only allow people in my contact list to contact me", not doing its job????
Either FIX IT or get rid of it because every time I open Skype, there`s all these "IM`s" waiting for me and then I`ve got to go and waste my time with having to remove them, very ANNOYING|!!!!

I'm not sure of what the logic behind this procedure, but actual responses from users who tried it confirm that it works (or at least this is something you can try while waiting for further responses from the experts).
Please switch your status to offline for at least a minute, then switch back to online. Then change your privacy settings to see if they will stick this time.
IF YOU FOUND OUR POST USEFUL THEN PLEASE GIVE "KUDOS". IF IT HELPED TO FIX YOUR ISSUE PLEASE MARK IT AS A "SOLUTION" TO HELP OTHERS. THANKS!

User Account Advanced Options Not Saving

I'm trying to either add an alias or change the account name of a user account in Server.app. Right click on a user and select Advanced Options. From there I add an alias then click OK. A spinner appears then disappears. No other indicators showing it saved. Press cancel and then go back in and all the fields are the way they were before I changed them. I have the latest Server.app installed.
Any one else run into this and have a workaround?
Thanks!

WorkGroup Manager will allow you to change the UID of a user.
Finder will allow the Admin to change the ownership of a folder, and then propagate that ownership to all sub-folders. I am nor certain whether Server [admin] will do that as well. I think it depends on your exact setup.
I think you could also log in as the new User, authenticate as Admin, and copy the files to the new User home (which may give them new-user ownership.

Autohide task bar option Not saved.

I go into the Taskbar properties and click the Autohide taskbar, click apply then click OK.
This works great for a while and the taskbar hides fine. Then sometime later it quits hiding, I go back into properties and autohide is no longer checked. So I Click it again, then click apply, then click lock taskbar then hit apply, then
hit OK.
each time after checking the autohide option I exit go back in and it has saved it that way and autohide works fine.
Then after some time it quits hiding again and I go back into the properties and autohide is once again unchecked.
This seems to be a different issue than what most people have which can be caused by the notifications of icons. I have already set those based on other answers but that doesn't work for my issue. Any ideas as I am stumped?

Hello LuvWhiteSand,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried the solution as T. Kujala mentioned?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
delete the value named 'Toolbars'.
In Task Manager, select 'File' -> 'New Task' -> type 'explorer' to restart
the shell.
If that doesn't do the trick, repeat deleting 'TaskbarWinXP' as well.
Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
Best regards,

Manual update option not saved

I have all my music on an external drive that is not always connected to my laptop. So I would like to manage my iPod manually. The problem is that everytime I open iTunes the manual option is not checked and my playlists get erased faster than you can say "stop doing that".
How do I enforce the manual option for all time?
80GB iPod Windows XP

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should be able to set your iPod to manual once you are connected:

IPod View Options Not Saved in iTunes

I just upgraded to 7.0.1 to see if it would fix this problem, but no dice. The view options for my 5G 80GB reset back to the factory settings each time I disconnect my iPod, or even if I restart iTunes and leave the iPod connected.
I'd like to have the browser up and have some of the other options changed, like showing track numbers and time. This is a setting that always stays the same with my previous iPod (4G 20GB). Anyone sles have this problem?

Sorry - I just posted a similar question, I didn't quite read your question carefully enough. I am having a similar problem - I keep having to restore my Ipod. If someone tells me how to check when I last updated my software, I could tell you if I upgraded to 7.01. Maybe that is the issue -
If anyone from APPLE is reading this - can you tell us if there are issues with the 7.01 upgrade in that the ITUNES software is not recognizing our IPODS anymore.
thanks,
