Search engines won't stay in the order I put them in

This is a problem with 3.6, but hasn't gone away after switching to 4.0 beta. Basically, the amazon search box keeps reverting to over the google search box and being the default when I open the browser. I've repeatedly switched the order back to the way I want it (and then closed the search with "Ok," rather than "Cancel"), but whenever I close and reopen Firefox, amazon is back on top.
I know this is pretty trivial, but with web browsers, you just want things to work and not obnoxiously ignore your preferences for no apparent reason. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Closed Firefox, deleted both files, reopened, got rid of the default search engines I didn't want, set the order the way I wanted it, closed Firefox and reopened it, and the order is back to what it was before.

Podcasts won't stay in the order I choose

This is related to another thread I saw on here. But my issue is a little different so I started another one.
I have a 2nd generation shuffle and updated versions of iTunes and Mac OS X (well almost... 10.4.9). I have reset the iPod several times and the problem persists.
THE PROBLEM:
I drag over a bunch of Podcasts. They load on the iPod shuffle. Then I reorder them on the shuffle. After disconnecting and reconnecting the shuffle, the original order is restored.
I even tried reordering the Podcasts then playing one all the way through to make sure the one I wanted to play started right after. It did. But then after disconnecting and reconnecting, the original order was back again.
Something is wrong here. Very wrong. This even happens on my old G5 computer with a 10.3 OS).
Any help? Anyone else got the problem?

I have the problem too...but slightly different. The order that I placed the podcasts in disappears immediately upon my removal of the iPod from its dock. I'll plug in and listen, and the podcasts are shuffled up, even though my iPod is NOT set to shuffle songs. This means the podcasts were NEVER ordered the way I put them on my iPod. I've tried work-arounds, such as creating a playlist with my podcasts in order, and dragging THAT to my iPod. No luck. I don't understand how iTunes re-orders my podcasts; I see no rhyme or reason to it. They're just randomly shuffled back up when I listen to my iPod. This is partiularly annoying with podcast series, dated podcasts (best listened to oldest to newest), and podcasted audiobooks.
Note that this problem does not happen with music. Music always stays in the order I place it.
I'll join my friend in saying: Any help? Anybody got this figured out?

My media (stills or movies) won't stay in the order I pick in iMovie09

In iMovie09, many of the media (stills or movie clips) that I place in a project will not maintain the order in which I place them. For example, I may place a still in the 6th position (after having placed 5 others with no problems) and instead, that will will automatically move to the 4th position. This does not seem to be related to photo date etc. The iMovie just seems to arbitrarily favor a sequence for some pictures. I've tried doing a New Project, and a Quit/Restart - no difference.
This problem is new - I've made iMovie09 projects in the past (last one about 3 months ago) with no problem.

Hi.
The problem probably was in incorrect entry in prefs.js.
I had the same issue and that was in my config:
user_pref("browser.search.useDBForOrder", '''"true"'''); -bad
user_pref("browser.search.useDBForOrder", '''true'''); - good
The wrong value set search engines always in alphabetical order.
Some plugin responsible for context searching, has change this entry to wrong value.

Lion Mail: Mailboxes won't stay in the order I want.

Lion Mail: I drag my mailboxes to reorder them, which works. However, when I quit and relaunch Mail, the mailboxes revert to the original order. And it's not alphabetical; nor is it the order of the accounts preference window.
Also, the order in the Inbox does not match the order in the lower section of the sidebar. (My iCloud account is first in the Inbox, but last in the sidebar.)

Baylon T has been uninstalled but the search engine won't get off the heading. It's a remnant I can't dispose of and most certainly don/t want. Have tried all ways I know and some told to do - nothing works.

I installed Babylon Translator to read a German letter. Didn't like it so I uninstalled it same half hour (and found out it was a 2 day trial, not free.) But the babylon search engine got into my firefox heading and nothing seems to work to get it out. I even uninstalled FF, but on reinstall, there it was again.What can I do to rid my computer of this unattractive nuisance?

My photos will not stay in the order I uploaded them to my my iPod and they changed their names

I'm really frustrated. I'm trying to put photos in albums on my iPod and iPad. I arranged them on my computer into the order I wanted and uploaded the files I wanted via iTunes as per directions. They are not in the order that they were in the file I uploaded. I spent time renaming and arranging, but to no avail. I look at things using I explorer and discovered that even the names of the files were different than I had named them. I have asked for Apple Support over the phone and in the Apple store. On the phone she was looking up stuff in the manual (I had to tell her what page to go to in the manual, she said that's what they all do to give help) and at the store it was the same story. I am so frustrated at the lack of answers and support that I could toss everything out a window!
Is there anyone out there that actually knows anything about their product?

Good morning
A couple of things that I find.
1. iPhoto "Events" can never be reordered, only iPhoto Albums. Photo events always ordered by date. Are you sure you are uploading Albums and not Events? It sounds like you are doing this correctly but the behaviour in your iPAD is suggesting otherwise.
2. iPhoto events and albums can only be synced from iTunes to an IOS device, they do not sync backwards. Events and albums can migrate from your IOS device to your computer (without a 3rd party app), only camera roll and photosteam . if activated will bring photos from your ios device to your computer.
3. Albums created on an IOS device cannot be deleted by Itunes, they can only be deleted on the device
- Albums created on the IOS device are "mirroring" a photo you have on the IOS device. If you delete that photo it will disappear from the album. So if you took it from an iTunes album or camera roll it will disappear.
When you are syncing from Itunes does your Photo tab look like this?

Why is it that my playlist won't stay in the order I make it

I currently teach a spinning class at the YMCA and need my music to play in a specific order so why is it that when i rearange it it goes into a completely random order or it just reverts to the previous order it very frustration, i have disabled shuffle.

Once you arrange the playlist order in iTunes, right-click (or control-click on Mac) on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order" to save it, then re-sync your device to iTunes (if you auto-sync).
If you manually manage music on your device, you need to make this change on the iPad while connected to iTunes (navigate to the iPad's contents from within iTunes) or replace the playlist on the iPad with an edited copy from your iTunes library.

Why aren't my playlists syncing in the order i put them in?

I put my playlists in a specific order - why, when my iTouch is synced does it not keep them in that order??? I've read about 'smart playlists' - I'm fairly certain that my playlists are not 'smart' - but I was curious as to how one can tell???

A Smart Playlist has a small cog like icon in iTunes. A regular playlist has a a musical note on top of a piece of "sheet-music paper" icon.
If you highlight a Playlist in iTunes and select File, if Edit Smart Playlist is greyed out, then it isn't a Smart Playlist. If you can Edit Smart Playlist, then it is.
You cannot distinguish Smart Playlists from regular Playlists on the iPod Touch, they look the same.

Retrieving all values from hashmap in order you put them in

Hi guys,
I want to retrieve all values from a HashMap in the order I put them in.
So I can't use the values() method that gives back a collection and iterate over that.
Do you guys know a good way to do that ?

You can just do something like this:
class OrderedMap
    private final Map m_rep = new HashMap();
    private final List m_keys = new ArrayList();
    public Object get( final Object key )
        return m_rep.get( key );
    public Object put( final Object key, final Object value )
        final Object result = m_rep.put( key, value );
        if ( result != null )
            m_keys.add( key );
        return result;
    public Object remove( final Object key )
        final Object result = m_rep.remove( key );
        if ( result != null )
            m_keys.add( key );
        return result;
    public Iterator keyIterator()
        return m_rep.iterator();
}Then use it like this:
   for ( Iterator it = map.keyIterator(); it.hasNext(); )
       final Object value = map.get( it.next() );
   }This will be in the order you put them in. However, if you want to do this correctly, you should implement the Map interface and add all the methods. Another thing you can do is download the JDK 1.4 source, learn how they did and do it the same way for 1.2.

            <p>San Francisco is one of the most exciting and vibrant cities on the planet. Bayside Beat is here to keep you informed of the best places to see, where to eat, what to do, and where to lay down your weary head after an action-packed day—or night—on the town.</p>

        <h2>Riding the Cable Cars</h2>
        <p>No visit to San Francisco is complete without a ride on the iconic cable cars that climb up the vertiginous hills of the city. Of the twenty-three lines established between 1873 and 1890, three remain: two routes from downtown near Union Square to <a href="http://www.fishermanswharf.org/">Fisherman's Wharf</a>, and a third route along California Street.</p>
        <p>The cable cars rely on cables running constantly beneath the road’s surface. The driver—or gripman—uses a lever to grip the cable to pull the car and its passengers up the hill. The gripman requires not only great strength, but also great skill. He needs to know where to release the cable to coast over crossing cables and points. The conductor works in close cooperation with the gripman, operating the brake at the rear of the car to prevent it from running out of control on the downward slopes.</p>

            <figcaption>The cable car terminus near Union Square</figcaption>
        </figure>
        <p>Although the cable cars are now mainly a tourist attraction, they’re still used by local commuters to get to and from work. The California Street line is particularly popular among commuters on weekdays.</p>
    </article>
    <aside id="sidebar">
        <h2>Cable Car Tips</h2>
        <p>A single ride on a cable car costs $6. If you plan to travel around the city, it’s often cheaper to buy a <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mfares/passports.htm">Muni Passport</a>, which gives you unlimited rides on San Francisco’s extensive public transport system, including the cable cars (but not the <a href="http://www.bart.gov/">BART subway</a> system). Even a single-day passport ($14) will save you money if you make a return trip, and stop off to visit Chinatown one way.</p>
        <p>There are often long lines at the cable car terminus, particularly on the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde routes. If you don’t want to wait, try walking a few stops along the route. The conductor usually leaves a small number of places to pick up passengers on the way. The California Street route is generally less crowded (but not as spectacular).</p>

My iPad2 won't stay in the horizontal view position

My iPad2 won't stay in the horizontal view position. I have it unlocked so I believe it should switch between views as I move it. Before I make a trip to the Apple store I want to make sure it's not user error!

Unlocked allows the screen to rotate as you rotate the device. Locked is supposed to keep the screen fixed in one orientation. However the function of the switch on the side can be swapped between orientation lock and mute, so it might not be perfoming the job you expect it to. Check Settings > General > Side Switch.

CD won't stay in the drive...

When trying to rip CDs, they won't stay in the drive. I have tried several different CDs. Every once in a great while a CD will be accepted and show up on the desktop and in iTunes, but usually there is just a bunch of clunking around inside the computer and then the cd is ejected. DVDs work fine. I have tried using a lens cleaner, but that didn't help. I fear I will need to have the drive repaired, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a preferences file I need to trash or something before I took the computer in.

When that happened to me, I had to replace the CD drive. However, my iBook would not read any CD that I tried. I didn't find other remedies. Tried the lens cleaner, too. That was pretty much a waste of time and money.
Good luck.
