Settings are gone after restarting computer

After I'm restarting my computer my settings are gone. I'm not sure if all of them, but this is what I need to change:
- all toolbars are enabled (in standard setting I don't have everything on all the time)
- my start pages are not the same
- FF behaviour after restart is not the same
- my default download directory is not as it was before.
What is more - if I'm closing FF and then opening again without restarting my computer - everything is fine. It is just happening after I'm restarting my computer. It is like some settings are removed after restarting ...
It start happening after upgrade ...
What's more - I'm usually putting my computer in stand by or hibernate mode, so it can be caused by that. I'm restarting computer only if needed ...

This just happened to me again. And I do not understand the reply you gave me. I just want all my tabs & groups back. Can you tell me in less technical terms how to fix this?

My user preferences are gone after restart

I use Mac OX 10.8.2 suddenly my user preferences are set to default everytime I reboot my MacBook Pro.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Deleted messages are gone after 2 weeks!

After I delete my message, it goes to the trash. I have changed the preference to go to the new folder and not automatically delete the messages after 30 days, but they are not working. My messages are gone after 2 weeks and not in any folder. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you checked the settings and preferences on all your devices that sync your mail, if your mail is set to be removed after two weeks on any device, then that action will be synced across all of them.

After restart, all user settings are gone and reset to defaults

Hi after waking up my iMac from sleep today, it appeared something had gone wrong (apps not responding…notification that my external drives had "not been ejected correctly" etc). I restarted. After restart, and logging back in to my regular user account, all user settings were missing and reset to factory defaults: Desktop reset to the "wave", Dock reset, Download folder missing (grey question mark), Dropbox unable to connect, Safari bookmarks missing (but still on my iPhone-- so it's a local iMac problem, not an issue with iCloud), small things like mouse scrolling prefs reset etc.
Basically all of my user preferences are missing. I've seen a number of threads about how to fix some of these items individually, but seems like there is a single corrupt preference file somewhere maybe?
I've repaired permissions a few times (there were a lot), and restarted but nothing has fixed it yet.
I had been logged out of iCloud, but once I logged back in, my Mail came back (just my me.com account-- still missing my Gmail, will need to reset I guess), along with Calendar and Contacts-- those are ok.
I keep all my files on an external LaCie RAID, and that all appears to be fine. Folders all intact etc.
Suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

I lost my home folder all my settings are gone. like i have a new Mac.

I was cleaning up the icons on the left side of the screen under the bar. My Rheta/Home icon was not there, nor was the Desktop, even the Computer icon was gone. In moving Pictures, Movies, Documents, Desktop and Rheta/Home back in the order I thought they should be I found Iphoto6 in the column and thought...this is an alias not needed here. Rather to access my Pictures I should choose the Pictures Icon. I had moved it also.
I had recently started dragging image files after importing and burning DVD backups of my SLR camera imports. Once files were off camera media and into computer and burned. I had read to drag them to External Drive and then delete from my primary startup drive. The reason. I have only 14 GB left on hard drive and need to download Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 before April 30.
I suddenly was presented with a welcome screen to IPHOTO 6 and would I like to watch Quictime educational material...like I had a new upgrade of IPHOTO.
Then I noted I had no images in my IPHOTO library.Great. I went to Rheta/Home and a whole new desktop is there with large Icons, none of my settings, and no email...wants me to set up like I bought a new computer. The only thing left is Safari works and has my Bookmarks. My address book is gone. I guess I could say like another person just wrote...Help I have a new computer..where did my home folder go and how do I get back to my settings? i am very much confused, frustrated/ my last experience bringing a consultant here because my hard drive is full cost $300. Only thing accomplished is he set me up on a new external hard drive with Super Duper. But i have had a messed up system of lost IPHOTO library and all my original files I kept in a file under Pictures in same heirachy as Music, Pictures, i had a folder called Pictures_notIPHOTO. This folder is my whole original and edited Photoshop files. Most of which I had dragged to my partitioned external drive as they were older and I needed space. But alas, all the dragging ended up in me inadvertently dragging the IPHOTO library there and then deleting the Trash as anything in the trash added to my full hard drive. I had only 2 GB at one point and warnings from Apple to delete files, etc.
So I have one external with .Mac Backup which I stopped using after the consultant and I can't get it to mount. It is a LaCie 160. I read others lost their LaCies after upgrading Tiger to 4.9.
Today...after my long explanation....How do I get my own settings back instead of this blank desktop? Please I know this is a lot of information. But the biggest deal is losing my desktop or Home folder settings I guess.Thanksing anyone in advance. I cannot afford another wasted $300. I could buy a new mac. I hope switching isn't result in having to buy a new computer because tech suport is so expensive. I have horror stories about Apple store help/genius bar non help/ Apple Care it is online dude.PS my G5 is four years old. I just successfully added a second 500 GB internal drive and got it initialized and ready to use for either more backup or file storeage off my primary. It is not yet partitioned.

I would start with How to safely apply system updates
Most problems are from using the computer while updating; not repairing the boot drive ahead of time; forgetting to make a bootable backup. And restart before updating.
I would suspect an underlying problem.
Startup Fails
Login Problems
One thing I always do before an update is to run something like Applejack to clean the cache folders, make backup with SuperDuper, and run Disk Warrior.

All messages are gone after deleting some text messages iOS8

Hi guys!
I've got a quiet annoying issue. Don't know if that is the hardware or software problem. I've replaced my 6 plus because of camera problems, and after that each time I try to delete ANY message from message app, app just crushed, and each time you're opening it it shows you empty inbox plus "new iMessage" window. That's not the end. Closing the app doesn't solve the problem. All of contact are gone in the same time so iMessage, phone call stop working. The only solution is restart the phone. Open the message app, close it again and open. But all of deleted messages are restored...
Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Erase content and restore from backup doesn't work, plus new update has been released today - still the same problem.
Thanks for the answers!
Adam.

Hello Adam,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Given your previous troubleshooting, the next step for this issue is to reinstall iOS. If that doesn't work, then the next step is to restore to factory settings. To reinstall please follow the directions outlined below.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Have a good one,

Mac System Settings Keep Resetting After Restart from Boot Camp

Not sure what to make of it but it's highly annoying. Most of the time when I restart my computer back into the Mac partition after I've been using Windows XP on BootCamp, most of my system settings are reset. The most obvious ones I run into are desktop background, Safari homepage, and the Spaces preferences, but there are others. Help. Thanks.

Did that reset, then rebooted into BootCamp, then restarted into the Mac. Settings appear OK, but I will try it a few more times over the next couple days to be sure. I thought it odd that it does it much of the time, but not all the time.... If it stays this way I'll post this as answered in a few days. If not, then I'll let you know that, too! Thanks guys!

Pictures are gone after iOS 8 update

After the iOS 8 update, I went to my picture gallery and all but 43 of my pictures are gone. I've gone to Photos --> Collections and still, only those 43 images are there. Where did my pictures go and how do I get them back?

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync them to the iPhone.
Did you update without making sure that you had imported everything to your computer?

All of my songs are GONE after i updated my Nano to 1.2!!!!

well last night i connected my nano to my computer, then started up itunes nd i get a msg to update it to version 7.0. So i installed it then it asks me to upgrade to version 1.2 for the ipod. so i'm like WHy not.
after the firmware for the ipod has been updated, i disconnected the cable, i went through my ipod and i noticed it asking me which language i wanted, so i scrolled down to english. then i went through my songs n next thing i know, everything is GONE.
i connected my nano back to the comp, nothing shows up on Itunes either. But when i went on My Computer to check my ipod, it does show how much space my songs have taken up!

Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
Anyone able to help?

This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
Delete these three files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
Restart the computer.

Changes in Bundle.js file are disappear after restarting the UCM

Good Day,
I add some javascript code in bundle.js file within the following path: domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources\bundle.js .
the changes are reflected fine on the UCM, but once the UCM Server restated the changes are gone and the file revert back as is; without my changes.
the code that i want to add is:
if ((typeof Range !== 'undefined') && !Range.prototype.createContextualFragment) {
Range.prototype.createContextualFragment = function(html) {
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
var div = document.createElement('div');
frag.appendChild(div);
div.outerHTML = html;
return frag;
i want to add it because i have a javascript error like this: Object doesn't support property or method 'createContextualFragment', this erro occured when the used version of Internet Explorer is V.9. ; no javascript errors appears on Version 8. when i add this piece of javascript to the bundle.js file, it the error is gone and everything goes fine, but as i said earlier after restarting the UCM the added javascript code is gone and disappear from the bundle.js file.
For that reason i want to ask, is there is a way to keep my code and stay as is even after restarting? Or is the file uploaded on restart from another path?
Any Suggestions?

This is actually quite simple to explain:
- domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources is a directory that holds runtime version of resources
- if you want to make your changes persistent, you will need to do it in a source directory. In 11g there are two source directories; one for standard components, and the other for custom ones. You should use the latter
- in fact, if you create a custom component with Component Wizard, make your changes there and activate the component, you should be done. The only another thing you should pay attention to is the loadOrder parameter of your resource - it should be higher to get applied.
