Profile picture automatically reverting back

Did anyone notice that or is it something that has to be set up separetely? If profile picture for the contact is updated using social app after an hour or so it automatically reverts back to the old one.
Spent good half an hour yesterday to updated all of my contacts just to find out they all are back to the previous low resolution images that used to be applied in the old version of the social app.
on the good side, social app now applies high res images making it look so much better. If only it would stay there....

1. If you log in automatically, a bug in some versions of OS X will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only known workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
2. If the selected Desktop picture is stored in an iPhoto library on an external drive, export it from iPhoto and move it to a folder on the startup volume. (Credit for this solution to ASC member janay.)
3. If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "TeamViewer" application can have this effect; see this thread. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
4. If you have a MacBook Pro with automatic graphics switching, disable it temporarily in the Energy Saver preference pane, set the Desktop picture, then restart the computer and re-enable graphics switching.
5. If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
Back up all data.
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 items to the Desktop, if they exist:
          Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
          Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

I am running 10.8.2 and my Safari bookmarks keep changing to some very old bookmarks i had over a year ago somehow. I replace the bookamrks plist from my time machine backup but they automatically revert back. I dont have a time capsule or anything so these bookmarks are obviously being downloaded over the cloud from somewhere. Please help!

Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

Why would settings on my router automatically revert back to defaults?

Have a Model BEFW11S4 V2 (OK, it's old), has been in service constantly since 2002. I had WEP128 set up, had customized the name of the SSID, changed the admin password, had PPPoE specifics entered in, etc. Was gone for a couple of days, came back, and found that my router had defaulted back to the factory defaults - the admin password was back to admin, WEP security was gone, PPPoE settings were gone, and the thing was broadcasting "linksys" as the SSID.
What would cause this? Should I be concerned from a security standpoint?

Hello skyedog, the only concrete reasons why your router settings went back to default because you or someone might have press the reset button at the back of your router accidentally or did it on purpose...or someone might have access your router's web user interface and revert the settings from there..or just maybe plain firmware problem..
Ok here's your solution.
> download your router's firmware here.
> reconfigure your router back. For Cable Internet Setup and for DSL Internet Setup
*Download your router's firmware first(make sure to select version 2) and update your router's firmware. After that just reconfigure your router settings. To avoid this problem, make sure not to press the reset button at the back and change your router password to something else so no one will be able to access the web UI of your router. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Rotated photo automatically reverts back to original

I had a MBP that had some issues with burning a 8GB dual layer DVD. The Geniuses at the Apple store uploaded all my information to their server and then the downloaded it to my new MBP. However, I am using my brand new MBP and when I am viewing my photos in iPhoto 08 I noticed that previously rotated photos were no longer rotated in the right position. So I started to rotate them back. As soon as I click on a new photo, the previous one that I just rotated, rotates right back to the incorrect position.
When I export the photo to my desktop and re- import it, it works fine. This issue actually applies to every photo I have (even the ones facing the right way) so I do not want to export my whole library and then reimport it - also editing all the roll names. I have 10,000 photos and I can't afford to have a corrupted library.
I have also thrown out the plist files for iphoto 08 and restarted the program. I have run disk utility and there were no obvious issues. I have also rebuilt my entire iphoto library by holding down command option and opening iPhoto.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Well given that you have already tried rebuilding the library it does sound like your database has been damaged.
A next step might be Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back. This will not make anything worse as it leaves your old library untouched.
I have 10,000 photos and I can't afford to have a corrupted library.
You'll have a back up then? Why not restore?

When I change my profile picture it automatically goes back to blank?

I logged into my macbook pro the other day and I noticed that my picture was blank (by blank I mean that silhouette icon that you have with new accounts). So i opened my addressbook and reset my picture.
A few minutes later, I noticed that my profile picture was reset to blank again so I changed it again and waited. Right before my eyes, the picture changed back to the silhouette again.
Any ideas?

Try changing it in your Account in System Preferences > User & Groups.

I recently updated my Iphone4 to IOS5. The NEW profile picture of my contacts keep disappearing and the old photo comes back on whenever I do a sync. How do I solve this?

Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

Is it possible to revert back from iPhoto to Pictures?

Too be quite honest I have never really liked iPhoto and especially when you sync it with the iPhone and iPad etc. Is it possible to revert back to just using Pictures?
If this is possible I would like to be able to export my iPhoto album into Pictures and then delete iPhoto.
Cheers and Happy New Year!!

What is your iPhoto version?
In iPhoto '11 you would need to export your iPhoto events, one by one, to folders in your Pictures folder.
Use the command "File > Export, Kind Original" to export the original files you imported to iPhoto, and use the command "File > Export , Kind Current" to export your edited versions.
To find out, which photos have been dited or not, define two smart albums (File > New > Smat album) with the rules:
Photo is not edited
and the other one:
Photo is edited
This way you can make sure to export all edited versions as well and not only the originals.

Profile settings revert back

I get these spam system notification calls all the time, so I change my profile settings to accept calls only from people in my contact list. Which works only until the next call from these scam callers. After I get another call I go to check my profile settings and they always revert back to accept calls from anyone. It looks like somehow there users are able to get access to my profile settings and change them before putting a call through. This has already happenned to me on several occasions. Has anyone else experienced this problem and knows what to do?

I'm having the same problem! I've had about 30 random people message me, and about 5-6 calls in last day or so =/. I keep going to my privacy settings and switching it back to "contacts only" but as soon as I click "save" it goes right back to the default settings .
I've tried signing in & out and even un-installing and re-installing Skype, but it doesn't make a difference?
EDIT - Read in another thread that all you have to do it switch you're status to "offline" for a mintue and switch it back to "online" and everything should save again. It worked for me
that procedure indeed worked most of the times.

Automatic play reverts back to main menu at end of movie.

I want the DVD to autoplay, without having to make a menu. But automatic play always reverts back to the main menu at end of movie. How do I make an autoplay with no menu at all?

Hi
a. Not possibly
b. By faking a "Non-menu" one can get that impression.
• Black background slide
• No animation
• No audio
c. You can select loop. Then it doesn't end on a menu but keeps on playing.
d. I think that if You use the OneStep-DVD You'll get a non-menu at the start
(auto-starting) and no menu at end.
I would do. Copy movie back to a miniDV tape (Camera) and use OneStep-DVD from this.
There might be other ways to do this.
Yours Bengt W

Since I've updated my IMac to Yosemite, my screensaver preferences will not stay on IPhoto, it always reverts back to National Geographic pictures. Anyone have this problem?

I have an IMac from early 2009. I've updated the OS X to Yosemite to 10.10.1 and since I've updated it, my system screensaver preferences WILL allow me to set the screensaver to IPhoto, but after a few minutes, it always reverts back to National Geographic pictures. I tried putting ALL 18,000 of my pictures into a separate folder and choosing THAT folder for the screensaver, but again - it reverted back to the National Geographic pictures.
Is there any way I can set my screensaver preferences to IPhoto pictures? Am I missing something? Thanks for any input or suggestions.

That's probably an issue with '''cookies''' rather than with clearing browsing history. Are you clearing your cookies, too?
If you want to continue clearing your cookies when Firefox closes, look for an extension that will save the cookie for a preference like that one

Firefox is already running. "Check access rights" - Read Only, revert back and selected automatically!

I Have follow the steps releated issue "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system".
However, issue is solved for sometimes by following steps (1 & 2) but the issue created again. Regarding step 5, I cannot applied it, because when I uncheck "Read Only" it revert back again!!
Please advise.

Artist profile picture gone in music app, how to get it back?

Hi Guys,
I got an Iphone 5s 16gb space grey recently and i restored from backup after updating it from 7.1 to 7.1.2.
I noticed that from my backup before and my old phone before my 5s (4s) that in the artists view in the Music app, there were artists profile picture which im presuming are their pictures from itunes. So that's what's showing on the artists view instead of the usual album covers from the artists music. If apple didnt have a "profile picture" for a certain artist then they would just show normal album covers from that artists which is also fine.
However, after I updated and set up as new iphone (then restore from backup), the "profile pictures' from Apple are gone and the artist views are just showing album covers from the different albums that the artist have. Does that make sense? I actually quite like the Apple artist profile picture and would like for them to show up again, instead of the normal album covers. Hopefully that makes sense and any help or advice will be appreciated.
Regards
