Profile changed back after fixing it

3.6 installed itself this morning. I guess I chose the wrong item, as your profile manager did not explain what was going on. I did not choose default. After not getting my settings, I looked here, and found out about profiles for 3.6. The NEW profile had been created in C:\Users\Public. I then copied all of my old (only) profile to this new location. I restarted Firefox and found my settings again, though I had to reset ForecastFox settings. During this session I set several bookmarks. Then after my session, I went on to other things. I then returned to Firefox and found that all my settings (and bookmarks) were gone. I then found out how to start the Profile Manager and this time chose default. Something is very wrong about how you went about this.

Sorry that you had the problems you described after the Firefox program update, but that isn't the way Firefox is supposed to work or even does work if something went wrong as a result of an update or any other problem. Five or 6 years ago the developers changed the Profile Manager so that it doesn't appear when there's a problem; all Firefox 1.5 and later versions show a "Profile is already running ..." message instead of showing the Profile Manager window. <br />

1. The Profile Manager is a hidden implementation detail that the user should never see, unless they use the correct command line switch to bring it up. Someone did something with your Firefox installation for you to see the Profile Manager after the Firefox update - that's not how Firefox works under normal circumstances, or even when there's a glitch in the update.
2. After a Firefox update or upgrade, will use the "Last Used" Profile per the setting in the '''profiles.ini''' file, the one marked Default=1, regardless of the name of that Profile - the Profile having "default" in the Profile name has no influence on that.
3. Firefox will never create a new Profile anywhere except the correct location - C:\Documents and Settings\''user''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ - on WinXP and W2K, other OS's have their own default locations. <br />
The user has to click a button during the creation of a new Profile, and select the location they want, for the new Profile to be located - for it to end up in a location such as C:\Users\Public, that you mentioned. Firefox just plain won't do that without user input. <br />
'''Do not''' even consider using the Profile Manager to remove the Profile in that location, because if you have data or files from another program in the same folder that "someone" placed that Profile in, you are going to everything in that folder - the Firefox Profile files and everything else! By design for large scale corporate installations, that is the preferred action, and the developers refuse to change that action as "normal" users shouldn't be using the Profile Manager or using non-default locations for Profiles to begin with.

Decision Table values changes back after deploy.

Hi All,
I created Decision Table and filled it by some values.
Then I built my Rules Composer project and deployed it.
After that I changed some values in my Decision Table from RulesManager and uploaded their.
Then I deployed my Rules Composer again.
After that I looked in Decision Table from RulesManager again and saw that all values were changed back to their original values.
Does anybody knows is this feature or bug?

Hello SMatveev,
The functionality is as follows:
1. You selected the active version to open the project - made changes to the rules, uploaded this. This version though is the latest, it has not been activated. The rules project which will be open will still be the active version, that means the changes recently made will not be displayed.
2. You selected the latest version to open the project - made changes to the rules, uploaded this. This version is the latest as well as the active version. The rules project which will be open will be the latest version, that means the changes recently made will be displayed.
3. After the changes were made, you uploaded (even activated) the changes. The rules are changed in NWDS and uploaded, now the version of the rules as were in NWDS at the time of deployment will be the latest/active version of rules in the server.
The behavior you saw is expected. (3rd point)
The way to prevent this loss of modifications made to rules using rules manager, is to - first download the runtime version of rules from server using the option available in NWDS; make the required changes to this active version and upload this DC to server.
Best Regards,
Arti

Screen resolution does not change back after using a projector

Hi!
My office uses several different models of macbooks, but there is a small problem with all the Airs. When I have been using them with a projector I have to change back the screen resolution manually (go to the system settings and change resolution). On the macbook pros, however, the desktop restores themselves as soon as the projector is disconnected. It seems to me that this should be the standard behaviour of all macs, does anyone know why it is not working on the Airs?
Best regards
Erik

Hi Erik,
I had this problem on a MacBook and resolved it by recreating some plist files.
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.preference.displays.xxxxxxxxx.plist
The xxxx's are your machine's EthernetID (MAC Address). I wouldn't delete, rather just move them to your Desktop and restart the computer. See if that resolves it.

Calendar events keep changing back after I change them

On my iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz, Yosemite loaded, calendar 8.0 events will not change. I can add events but not change them. I've tried refresh. I've followed all the troubleshooting re: to iCloud.

Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.

My customized genres get changed back to the iTunes default genre

I customize my genres, I find the genres provided by iTunes to be insufficiently accurate. Every time I buy new music from iTunes - or download previously purchased content - my genres are set back to the original iTunes genre.
When I play a track with a changed-back genre it once again reverts to the genre I assigned it. But I am now into thousands of tracks that have customized genres, so I've begun avoiding iTunes and buying from Amazon simply to avoid contact between my iTunes application and the iTunes store, so that it doesn't set back my customized genres.
Not sure that was clear: Example:
I bought Lou Reed's "Hudson Wind Meditations" in the iTunes store, and I download it to my iTunes software so I can sync with my iPod and iPhone. The genre it is assigned by iTunes is "World." I consider this the default genre.
I don't consider it "World" music, and want to find it along with my other Lou Reed tracks when sorting by genre, so I change the genre to "Rock - Avantgarde - NY". I have a number of customized genres.
The next time I buy and/or download anything from the iTunes store, all my customized genres are reset to what to the default genres the tracks had upon purchase. - This is highly frustrating, because I have given thousands of tracks customized genres. So after downloading something from the iTunes store, my Lou Reed "Hudson Wind Meditation" shows the genre as the default genre again, in this case it says "World" again.
Oddly enough, if I play a track that had a custom custom genre but that was changed back after contact with the iTunes store, it reverts back to the customized genre. So if I play the Lou Reed track again, it changes back to my customized genre as soon as I hit play (it would change back to "Rock - Avantgarde - NY".
It isn't a tenable solution to hit play on every track after every new download. Nor is going back in and re-customizing every album in a bulk move.
Can I lock genres? Help please.
iTunes 11.2.2 running on 10.9.4, but it's been doing this for several iterations.

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.
(Not sure if this also works if iTunes match is in use since I don't use it.)

Monitor Color Profile Changes after FUS

My monitor color profile changes after fast switching users, and then I cannot change it back in the prefs for display-color. Attempting to choose (restore) my chosen calibrated color profile does not work.
The only solution is restarting. Loging out and back in does not fix it, only a restart.
What could be causing this?

Best way to change config then change it back after a while.

I spent some time today trying a couple approaches to this, but they all seemed a little klunky.
I'm looking for the best way to change the BGP prefixes which are advertised out to an ISP, based on some check. I want to set a timeout so the router won't attempt to send the route again for say 30 minutes after it is triggered, but then will start advertising it again, and monitor to see if the trigger condition returns. If the trigger condition returns then again withdrawl the route for 30 minutes and so on.
I'm using a prefix-list already to limit outbound route advertisments, so it seems simplest to just make a config change to remove one line in the prefix-list, then a few minutes later put it back.
I tried just using the "cli command wait", but if I set the wait period too long, the applet seemed to die, and never ran the later cli commands to put the prefix-list line back. There is also a exit-time clause for the event, but I couldn't figure out how to put the line back after the exit-time expired. Lastly I tried doing an event with a watchdog timer, but also couldn't get that to work either. Before I spend too much time working on differant options, I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations.
I've done some TCL scripting on Cisco routers, but that seemed to be overkill for this, and I wanted to keep the config easy to manage for peers who might not be as proficient in TCL scripting.
This is intended for ASR-1002X routers if it matters.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Derek

Thanks for all your help Joe.
Ok, so here is my current script, which seems to be working pretty well (changing to entry-type "value" fixed the variability in detection times). For testing in the script below, I'm using a 30 second timeout for when the line gets put back, and a 60 second timeout for when monitoring should resume after the event is triggered. The script checks the value of the OID every 5 seconds.
The only other thing I would like to do with it that I can't figure out, is how to use an environment variable for the exit-time. Ideally, I would just add a value, like 10 seconds, to the ATimeout variable. However I can't figure out the syntax to just use a var for the exit-time. Anyone know the secret (or if it is possible?)

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

How do i get my old firefox profile back after uninstalling it from my computer

I uninstalled firefox by accident because I was on another user account on my laptop and I didn't realize that it would uninstall it from my programs. how do I get all my bookmarks back after reinstalling firefox from scratch?

You will have to do this the hard way.
Open the file browser / explorer on your computer.
Depending on your system, you need to find this folder;
'''C:\Users\'''=<User Name>='''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles'''
The profile with the newest date should be the new profile. Look for the
profile with the next newest date. That is likely the one you are looking for.

SanandaDutta
tried on a different mac. The same problem exists.
If that is the case, its extremely unlikely you have a bad USB cable on the seagate, rather as I mentioned earlier a bad SATA bridge card.
If the Seagate 1TB USB external wont open on either Mac and youve verified same (try a diff. USB cable if you have one however this is nearly never the case),....then to get the data off that HD (unless it is dead which is also extremely unlikely),......then you would need to extract the HD from its case and insert same into either a HD dock or USB HD enclosure.
8 out of 10 seemingly dead inopperable 1-3+ year old external HD are perfectly fine, rather the cheap 50 cent SATA bridge card fries and dies (alas)
reply back if you need help in extracting same.

Notifications Profile changes after a phone call

I have created a custom profile and set my notifications to this profile but After either an incoming or outgoing phone call the profile switches back to 'Normal'... why is this happening?
peace and love

How are you ending the call? You can end a call two ways, one is to hit the End Call button on the screen when you take the phone away from your ear, the other is pressing the top of the phone.
