Preference stop working

preference has no effect in mail
I made some changes in preferences and they have no effect. I have restarted the computer, restarted mail.
the preferences I have changes are to get mail manually and the incoming mail sound (now no sound plays) .

Who is the provider of the account or accounts you are using? If MobileMe, then selecting the User IDLE command will prevent the new message alert from sounding, but in turns enables Push Mail.
May impact other IMAP accounts as well, but have not tested.
More info, please.

Export preferences stopped working

Hi,
I have Gargageband 3. I am recording in Podcast and was using Garageband preferences to be ablt to export to iTunes at two different qualities, one for spoken podcast, one for musical. It was working fine, then stopped. Now it just exports to iTunes in a huge Aiff format file. Does anyone know how I can get this functioning again? Obviously, I try setting the preferences, but still no results.
Thanks
Blake

You have to have a Podcast Track visible.

Grab stopped working on mac 10.6.8 - cant find library/preferences, it is no longer in utilities - only the icon remains unuseable in the dock. Can anyone help?

Folks- I got After Effects to launch by installing OS X 10.8. I did not figure out the problem and am not certain it won't pop up again.

The zooming function on the trackpad stopped working on my Mac Air OSX 10.9.3. I've already checked the trackpad preferences to make sure I didn't inadvertently alter something.

It worked fine in the morning then when I woke my computer in the afternoon the zoom no longer worked. I use this function constantly so I hope something is not broken.

Where is zooming not working?

Manage My Places/Google Search in iPhoto has stopped working. I have always had my Look Up Places Preference set to Never. Any ideas?

I am running iPhoto 09 v8.1.2 and w/c 18th Nov Manage My Places/Google Search stopped working. I have always Managed My Places with my Look Up Places Preference set to Never. I have not updated any software in the past week. Any ideas?

That's not my experience Larry, although I'm not an expert. It was one of your earlier responses to someone else that made me check this preference out. However, I've set it to automatically and google search in Manage My Places doesn't work and the "find on map" option on the photo information tab doesn't work.
What does works with it set to automatically is if I enter "Merida, Mexico" in the photo place it will list a number of towns called Merida and I can select the Mexican one. If I enter "Calle 49, Merida, Mexico" it doesn't list anything but it does offer the "find on map" option. If I select this it loops.
I've checked my software updates and nothing on my Mac has changed in the time between this working and ceasing to work. I'm just trying to establish if anyone else has experienced difficulty with the google search under manage my places in iPhoto recently.

Lightroom 5.5 stops working when I try to Edit Preferences

I installed Lightroom 5.5 a month back. I had no other versions of Lightroom on my computer before that. I have Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC on my machine. I want to add Noise Ninja standalone as an External editor and have tried to edit preferences. I use Windows 8.1 on my desktop. Every time I click on Edit->Preferences, Lightroom stops working and exits. I read the forum and once removed the Preferences file and restarted. The problem still continues. I am unable to find a solution.

Thanks Geoff the Kiwi. Did they forget to include those two DLLs in the installation package?
Nope. Just to be clear, they are Microsoft DLLs which can be and are used by other applications, including Lightroom. In the majority of the "007b" cases that we came across on these forums it was determined that an application called iLivid was heavily implicated in corrupting these two DLLs and thus impacting Lightroom. So Adobe provided this "fix" which simply downloads "clean" versions of those two DLLs.

I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am trying to use a Logitech USB headset to record with screencast o matic. In the sound file of system preferences the headset is recording audio. However it stops working when I use screen cast o matic. Any advice?

Windows Explorer Stopped Working after Adjusting Preferences in Bridge

OK, this is the PhotoShop forum and in the Bridge forum is where this issue should be addressed, but there is little activity there, so I hope no one will mind me posting here...
The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge:
When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?
Cheers,
Michael

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

System preferences froze, stopped working

I was changing my wallpaper picture and the System Preferences just stopped working, I can't do anything in it now! How can I solve this problem?

Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

My autofill stopped working recently. I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked. When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

Back up all data, then test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
1. Press the down-arrow key. (Credit to ASC member iNeight.)
2. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
3. Click in the first field to be filled, and then select
Edit ▹ AutoFill Form

4. Select
Contacts ▹ Preferences ▹ vCard
and uncheck the box marked

5. Select your card in Contacts. Then select
Card ▹ Make This My Card

7. Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
