Resetting settings upon restart. Keyboard won't recognize

ok so i have this problem, when i restart every time it can't seem to find my keyboard and mouse, i end up having to take they keyboard/mouse out of its original port move it to another one plug the mouse in separately and then it will recognize, then when its restarted i can put it back into the old configuration. Anyone know what the crap is going wrong?
second problem may be related, upon restart of computer i have to to reset all my preferences in system preferences. I.E. what output port for audio, turn on firewall, and others like that.
just so you know i did use the transfer wizard to transfer the applications.

ok i should have remembered about that. It seem to have fixed the remembering settings thing but now one of my usb ports stopped responding. I loaded the install cd and ran system profiler and it shows up under the install. then i restarted and now it seems to have done something because it shows up now. I don't know if it will go away if i restart though.

Will the Display Menu app hold mirrored settings upon restart?

I work at a College and manage over 100 classroom computers. In each classroom the computer is connected to a projector. When we moved to Mavericks we lost the majority of display resolutions formerly available to us and unfortunately, none of the remaining resolutions match the native resolution of our projectors. We primarily set up our computers and projectors in mirrored mode.
I've been testing a couple apps that help uncover the hidden resolutions. These are: Display Menu, Display Maestro and Switch ResX. All the apps give me the resolution variety I've been looking for but only Switch ResX holds the settings I choose upon restarting the machine. Display Menu and Display Maestro are much cheaper so, I was hoping to use those if possible. Does anyone know how to get either to hold their settings upon restarting? Does anyone recommend Switch ResX ? Any other display apps I should try?
Thank you.

Try rebooting the STB and then change the clock setting and change it back. That worked for me when i had this issue. I have seen this reported a couple of times and most of the time if this fix didnt work, the issue resolved itself within a couple of days.
Also, it should be noted that with the 1.7IMG release they changed the way the front display functioned. It now changes to show the channel number at every program change and then reverts back to showing the clock after about 2 minutes.

New iMac keyboard won't recognize devices

My new iMac won't recognize my iPod when I plug it into the keyboard. I have to plug it into the display . This is tough because of it's location. Anyway to make the keyboard recognize?
Also, neither keyboard nor display will recognize my JVC camcorder of about 1 year old.
Thanks. Customer Service allows me to book a call back for today but they call back to say they are closed.....

HI,
Go here for a list of compatible camcorders.

Always connect the iPod to the USB port on the back of the iMac, not the keyboard.
Why is it difficult to connect to the display?

Resetting midi settings upon restart?

When I come back to the system the next day and re-open a project, I notice I have to reset all my volume fader and reverb settings in the Logic mixer ... relating to my outboard multi timbral synth keyboard.
I seem to remember there was a way I could resend\reset all data with a single click...
I just can't what exactly that click was.
Ben

Ben,
Unfortunately what Juhani suggested doesn't seem to work as it's supposed to. There is an option under "Logic / Preferences / MIDI / Reset Message - Send Used Instrument Settings on Reset" that doesn't seem to reset anything but the currently selected track. There's another setting in "Project Settings / MIDI / Chase - Send full MIDI reset before chasing" which is also not a complete solution.
I'm assuming you want to set them to the Fader Values and what not that you have modified within your sequence.
Here's what you do... there are 2 necessary steps:
1) In "Project Settings / MIDI / General - Miscellaneous" If you want Logic to be sure it recalls MIDI Track Volume, Pan and/or Program Change settings, check the "Used Instrument MIDI settings". You can also check the "All fader values" check box, but this setting as detailed in the Manual is specifically for Environment Fader values... and typically most people don't have MIDI Environment Faders.
2) Click on one of your MIDI tracks in the Arrange... under the Track Parameters sections on the left Channel Strip view (inspector needs to be on) you should see a Program, Volume and Pan parameter with a check box next to each. Check the boxes of the settings you want recalled on each session open. You'll have to check these for each individual MIDI track. This is a pain for any older sequences, but do this is any of your Templates so the session will be ready to go up front.
Keep in mind checking these boxes does NOT "lock" these parameters down, like Automation. If you check the Volume box and move the MIDI volume fader you'll see that the Volume parameter changes in response to the Fader movement. Also, MIDI automation will take precedence as well. Overall this is a good thing, and checking these boxes only tells Logic to send the current Volume, Pan and Program Change, but does not say add a Volume entry in the MIDI info of the track.
It's probably only necessary to send these when the Project opens, which is why it's set up that way. But I've noticed that if you want to send a single set of Track Parameters after the session has loaded, for whatever reason, up & down arrow over the track in question and it should send out the parameters. As does the "Options / Send to MIDI / Used instrument MIDI Settings".
Hope this helps...

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to reset and or restart still won't reset

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to restart and reset but does not work,did follow direstions unplugging apple TV still not resetting/restarting, any help?

Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you.

Finder windows don't remember icon/list settings upon restart

My computer recently started having this strange problem: Whenever I start my computer and click on "Macintosh HD" the window that opens up shows a jumble of icons (even though I have always had the setting to "List"). Additionally when I click on a folder at this level, its contents are also a jumbled mess of icons (even though here the settings have always been "list"). I have to manually select the "list" setting in the window or in the menu to change the settings. Throughout the workday these settings are remembered but when I restart in the morning everything is back to the jumbled mess as described above. I have recently upgraded to 10.4.9 (from 10.4.7) and didn't notice if this problem started then but it definitely started soon after the upgrade. Is there anyway to make my computer remember my view settings? I apologize if my question is lengthy and thanks in advance for any advice. --Steve

Thanks for your response Niel. I'm not sure what you mean by "run" in reference to the Terminal application. Here's what I did do: I opened Terminal. I then typed in sudo chmod a+w /.DS_Store as per your suggestion. I then pressed Enter, typed in my password and hit enter. I was asked to type my password again, I did, and pressed Enter. I was asked to type in the password yet again. I didn't do it this time but instead logged out and then logged back in. However all of the icons in my finder window were still showing up as a jumbled mess of icons. I just want to get everything back to viewing as list in every window like it was before. Did I mess something up with your instructions? Although I have been using a Mac since 1989 I am a OSX weinie and need things spelled out for me. Thanks for your help!

Keyboard Won't Recognize ~ K9A Platinum

Hi there, I just built a new system got it all in and put together...
I turn it on...everything seems fine... it gets to the MSI ansi screen and it says press tab to POST or press DEL to enter BIOS setup...
However, no amount of button pressing does anything... there are no lights on the keyboard either. I went and got a NON USB keyboard and plugged it in... the lights came on on the keyboard but it still won't allow me to press any button.
Does this sound like there is something wrong with the board or is there something I have done wrong? I have tried plugging in the USB keyboard to all the usb ports...even the front case ports.
Thanks.

Clear cmos and try again.
Go barebones outside the case.
Does it work when trying to install windows?
It is not plugged into mouse port is it?
I ask because I have done that several times

Stuck at login screen after Yosemite Upgrade - 2013 27" imac won't recognize keyboard or mouse

I installed yosemite without issues on my 2013 macbook pro retina so decided to try it on my 2013 27" imac. Install went fine until I get to login screen. Wireless keyboard and mouse won't pair so I can't type in password. Connected generic wired keyboard and mouse and still won't recognize it.
However, when I restart it I can hold down option on keyboard and it will bring up list of hard drives to boot from (I also have windows installed with bootcamp) so I know imac pairs the key

So the iMac was purchased by my father in 2011 shortly before he died. I thought, why not check if he also purchased Applecare at the same time? Turns out he did! So after calling and trying to reset the SMC, etc. with it not working the Apple tech told me to turn it over to an authorized repair shop here in Louisiana. Hopefully they can fix it.

Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning all off, and on. I have the newest version of itunes. Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks

Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

Upon restarting wireless keyboard isn't connected

ok so lately upon restarting my imac the wireless keyboard wont respond to anything. I then have to use a usb keyboard (which it instantly connects) to input my password. So going into BT under settings it shows not connected at first but within a min or two it connects. I recently added the belkin BT number keypad. Which that responds and so does my mouse at the login screen. Anyone have any suggestions?
thanks

I occasionally have to hit the on button on the keyboard because it connects to the Mac just a fraction of a second after I type in the password. Have you tried that?

Resolution won't stay on "Default for display" setting upon restart

I have a Macbook Pro 13" 2014 edition with Yosemite.
I have a problem in that my Macbook won't stay on the "Default for Display" option upon re-starting... Each time I restart the machine, I have to manually select this option (and then it works fine). Upon reboot, it always starts up as "Scaled". What can I do to make it start up as "Default for Display"?
I noticed this problem started happening a few weeks ago when I had connected my MBP to an external projector. I did have to change around the display settings then. But now that I don't have it connected to any external display, i'd like it to default to "Default for Display" upon re-starting.

Thanks for that... It led to me solving the issue.
If you care to know the full story... Once I did those steps, I realized something important I didn't notice before... Upon restart, the machine would indeed to startup in "best for display"... You can tell by the "high resolution" of the background image and dock-icons, etc... The screen would then flicker for a second and would go to "low resolution". That led me to thinking it was one of my startup apps that was causing the problem... And thus not related to my connecting to a projector like I thought, nor to the actual restart of the machine itself. I then discovered the problem app ("iDisplay") and removed it from my "login apps"... and problem solved.
Thanks!

I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 and it won't recognize my password. I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect.

I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4 and it won't recognize my password. I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect. What do I need to do?

There are two more things to try. If the first thing you try fails, try the next.
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data. Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Unplug the phone form the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes. My guess is that the reset did not work.
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPhone into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the lates version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in covery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you 've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.
