Proxy Settings Are Lost

I have several Mac clients that run OS X (10.6-10.8) and all are configured to access the internet via the same proxy server.
Within System Preferences, each user has their proxy server login details saved - no problem there.
Periodically (and not down to user password changes), the settings are lost and the users then have to set up the login details again to get out onto the internet.
Can anyone explain why the System Preferences would lose these details?

Hi Gary, kind of a long shot, but I suspect a past network connection is coming into play.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
If using Wifi/Airport...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
Fill in the Proxy again.

I'm having major buffering problems since the IOS7 upgrade. Proxy settings are set to off.

I,m having major problems with buffering on my iPad & iPhone since the IOS7 update. My proxy settings are set to off.

Turning off and back on or hard reset seems to work for a day or two. After resetting I am occasionally losing messages that were there before reset. In addition, I have had 3 messages that I received a notification for when they came in but go into messages and not there. Message incon still shows 3 unread messages but when I open messages I have no unread messages??? Power on-off or hard reset does not seem to fix this. At least a reset gets imessages working again. Hope fix is out soon. This is a PIA.

Backup restored, but my settings are lost for firefox.

I formatted my computer, so had to reinstall windows 7 and then firefox 5. I backed up the firefox folder and followed directions to put it in the right folder once firefox was installed again. Despite doing this several times with restarts of firefox and the computer, all my settings (Including bookmarks, addons and themes) are lost. I am back to scratch with a new firefox and none of my saved things.

You should only copy data from a saved profile folder that you really need.<br />
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Also if you restore a full profile folder then you need to replace the file profiles.ini as well, otherwise Firefox won't find that profile or you need to use the Profile Manager to create new profile and choose that copied profile as the location for the new profile.

When I bring up Firefox it asks me to make sure the Proxy Settings are correct. What are the proxy settings?

When I double click on the Mozilla Firefox icon to open it up an error message comes up and says "The Proxy Server is refusing connections" Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
Please help me with this.
Thank you

Try the following solutions and whichever setting works, keep it Permanent:
1) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option1 -> Click OK -> OK
2) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option2 -> Click OK -> OK
3) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option3 -> Click OK -> OK
Check which solution works.

X1 display flickers, grafics settings are lost all the time

Dear all,
I am facing massive problems with my X1 (i5, Windows 7 64 bit). The internal and external displays start flickering randomly, sometimes even directly when booting the system. In Windows when this happens very often the dislay settings are gone, so I have to set them manually again. Sometimes the green power button flickers also, while the display flashes. This happens without any periphery as well as with different external displays. Things that have been done already:
new mainboard (by Lenovo support)
new OS installation (only 5 days ago)
updates of all drivers using Lenovo tool
updates of Windows
One thing that might be an indicator to the problem: The resource monitor says that igfxsrvc Module has been aborted, often shortly after the problem occurs.
Has anyone another idea, what to do and what to look for?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Kigugu,
This is really hard to arrange the display setting again and again, In order to resolve the issue I suggest you to update the Video driver, Power Management and BIOS of your system manually. Kindly download and install the Display driver, Power Management and BIOS update utility from the below mentioned web link as per your Operating System.

This may help you to resolve the issue. Kindly update your BIOS at last.

Whenever I restart firefox, my proxy settings are changed and my homepage too.

Basically, My friend has told me that a computer worm has been eating away at my computer, but I'm asking you if you know how I can make it so that whenever i launch Firefox again it won't reset the proxy settings to where it says: 'Firefox cannot connect to the internet, we suggest you re-configure your proxy settings.'
(That is not the exact way the message was displayed, I just it's words into mine.)
Also, whenever i fix it, I discover that my homepage was reset to this: http://www.v9.com/?type=hppp&ts=1402272131&from=amt&uid=FUJITSUXMHT2060AH_NP0DT492ATSDT492ATSDX&i=psd&t=343d1bf21

Cmos settings are lost when unplugged

Every time my computer is unplugged the cmos settings are gone when I restart. It's been like this since I got it 2 weeks ago. I thought flashing the bios with the latest version might help but it didn't. The battery voltage is 3.504V.

A weak battery can still have the correct voltage and still be bad due to not supplying the correct amount of current. There is another possible solution. Remove your battery jumper and put it back on again. You may have a bad connection. The same holds true for the battery clip. If those don't solve it then you may want to pop for a new battery.

In ios 7, all of my settings are lost if I disable and then enable Restrictions.

In ios 7, when I set various settings under Restrictions (In General-Settings-Restrictions), all of my settings keep getting lost whenever I disable and then enable Restrictions. Is there some other way to 'toggle' restrictions on and off? I want to be able to toggle my restrictions on whenever I give my phone to my child, but when I click on 'Enable Restrictions', it clears all of the restriction settings I just set!
This is either a very annoying bug, or I am missing something.

Well, there's not. Restrictions are not designed to be used the way you want to use them. Again, tell Apple:

Keyboard settings are lost with new keyboard

My apple wireless broke and I wanted a bigger keyboard so I replaced the wireless with a standard keyboard that you plug in. HOWEVER:
All my shortcuts are mismatched. Its as if the computer is thinking I am still using a wireless keyboard. How do I reset it to use the new BIGGER keyboard?
The most important thing I need to do is adjusting the brightness contrast with the shortcuts. How do I fix this? I have tried changing the shortcuts on the display settings and its not working!!!
PLEASE HELP!

IPhone 6 problem with Wifi/Http Proxy settings being lost

In Settings/Wifi, you can set up a Manual Http Proxy
I have noticed a bug only seen on iPhone 6, where it doesn't store the Manual Http Proxy setting you enter.
e.g. You enter a Server and a Port number. If you then press Wi-Fi in top left to exit this screen, it doesn't store your settings and the Manual settting is not there when you come back into the screen.
This does not happen on the following devices
iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
iPad Mini with iOS 7.1.2
iPad Air with iOS 8.1
It seems to be an iPhone 6 issue, not an iOS 8 issue, as it works in iOS 8 on other devices.
Anyone else noticed this?
Note: This "Manual Http Proxy" setting is used by Web Testers (such as me) when trying to use the program called Fiddler to setup access to development servers (on PC and Mac you edit the hosts file to achieve same thing)

I 've met a similar issue. It's about Auto proxy instead of Manual proxy in your case.
I solved it by chose 'Forget this network' then search that wifi, input password connect again.
I guess the reason might be the new iPhone's network connection is restored from back-up of old iPhone?
Anyway, reconnection solved my problem. Hope it works for you too!

While upgrading E71, lots of settings are lost

What do I do wrong? Before upgrading the firmware of my E71, I back-upped (by using PC Suite) the Phone Settings. But apparently this didn't prevent me from losing Nokia Maps plus my Internet and E-mail settings. Is there a way to save all this, so that upgrading becomes less time consuming?

Hi,
I have been following the below mentioned blog to create a program to consume a webservice.I am currently on Enterprise version(4.7), release 6.2.
I get a communication_failure(sy-subrc = 1) when using "METHOD http_client->receive".Please let me know if you have any solutions.(The code of the program is in the blog..link mentioned below)
Could the group provide solutions to the following in relation to blog mentioned below:
Webservice consuming using ABAP in 6.2
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2004/09/20/consuming-web-service-from-abap
- What Proxy settings are required to be performed,
where can we perform the same
- What is the information required to fill the user id
and passwords for ? - Are the credentials for the
webservice we are calling or for the proxy
(correct me if i am wrong)
- How can we fill the fields Proxy and port, how do they
play a role.
Thank you

Hi,
As reply to his blog DuraiRaj Athavan Raja has provided the following information.Thank you Raja.
http_client->receive - Communication failure obtained
2006-07-18 22:29:04 Durairaj Athavan Raja [Reply]
do you connect to internet via proxy? if yes you have to either code proxy authentication or simply maintain it in transaction SICF.
go to
SICF->client->proxy settings
go to http_log tab
host name: proxyhost.domain.com
port: <portno>
user - > proxy user id
pwd -> proxy pwd and save it .
and this setting is per client , so you have to do that for all clients.
Regards
Raja
I am working on getting the proxy settings completed and will update the post when i am through with all the findings.

How to display the proxy settings for a specific group of servers in an OU ?

Hi,
Can anyone here please assist me in how to display the value of Proxy server settings from the computers in a specific OU member ?
$Computers = Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=Terminal Servers,OU=Servers,DC=domain,DC=com" | Where-Object { Test-Connection $_.Name -Count 1 -Quiet }
ForEach ($Computer in $Computers) {
| Export-csv "C:\Proxy-Setting-Results.csv" -Append -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
I've done similar script for some other task but not sure how to do this for Proxy setting.
Thanks.

Proxy settings are not set in Active Directory
The below code works for 2003 servers and Win XP
$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Proxy" -namespace "root\CIMV2" `
-computername $env:computername
foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {
write-host "Caption: " $objItem.Caption
write-host "Description: " $objItem.Description
write-host "Proxy Port Number: " $objItem.ProxyPortNumber
write-host "Proxy Server: " $objItem.ProxyServer
write-host "Server Name: " $objItem.ServerName
write-host "Setting ID: " $objItem.SettingID
write-host
You can try checking the registry values- Works in 2008 + and Windows 7
Get-Item 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings'
or use netsh
netsh winhttp show proxy -r <remotemachinename>

Proxy Settings Issue Adobe Creative Cloud

Hello,
I am running the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App for Windows 7 and it cannot connect to the Internet when my IE proxy settings are set to "automatically detect"
The isssue can be allieveiated if I manually enter in the proxy server and port as stated in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1264828
This does not pwork well in my environment because we use a proxy script to send web traffice to other proxies
Is there any other way to get the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App to connect to the Internet?

[email protected] I would recommend reviewing the Adobe Creative Cloud Service Access Documentation for IT section of http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html. In particular the Network Endpoint documentation maybe useful to help ensure requests to those addresses are handled properly.
