Settings are reset after every update...

every time i update my ipod, all of the settings are reset (language, clicker, backlight, everything)... EVERY time...
why does this happen???
i've downloaded and am running the latest ipod and itunes software...
please help!!!

That shouldn't happen -- first thing I'd try is to restore the iPod back to factory conditions with the firmware updater (choose "restore") and then completely resync. Then make your setting changes and my hunch is they will "stick".

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!

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?

After iTunes Update (10.3) mouse and keyboard settings reset after every system reboot

Since I updated to the iTunes version with cloud support (after Jobs' Keynote where the iCloud was introduced) my mouse and keyboard settings (see image) are being resetted on every system reboot.
image: this is how I want my settings, but they're resetted to system standard when I reboot my MBP
I don't know if there is a connection between the update and the resetted settings.
Does anyone know a solution to fix this problem?
Thanks
Kris

I solved it clearing PRAM and booting in safety mode as written in this article:

IPod touch reverts to factory settings after every update.

I bought my iPod touch in March, and have never had any problems. Then about two months ago, it wiped itself after a software update (through iTunes) and reverted back to original factory settings (turn it on, get starter screen telling you to connect iPod, everything is gone, etc). I figured it was a one-time glitch and put everything back on it. However, it has happened three times now, and every time, it happens right after an update. I back it up every time I plug it into my computer, but now, it won't back up, and it won't restore from a backup. It just gives me error messages, or the only available option is system restore (factory reset). I'm getting really frustrated with it, because I have to set up every single thing over and over again.
Should I just try to send it in to replace/fix it, since I still have the one-year warranty? Or is there a way to fix this myself?

This doesn't solve the fact that your iPod goes back to factory settings, but have you tried Backing it up onto iCloud? Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > (takes a few seconds to appear) Backup. You do have to be connected to internet to do this. All you have to do is to remember to do this before you update.

Wacom Intuos4 tablet settings keep resetting after reboot

I am not sure if anyone else is seeing this but on my fresh install of 10.6, I installed the latest drivers for my Wacom Intuos4 tablet and every time I reboot, the configurations are reset to defaults.
I've also noticed that when I go into the Wacom preference pane in System Preferences, along with other preference panes (like Growl, for example), I have to restart the System Preference app.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

This is a known issue with the current Wacom driver and it will have to be fixed by them in an update. In the meantime, you can make the preferences save by quitting System Preferences after changing any tablet settings and then reopening the Wacom prefpane in System Preferences and closing it again.

WiFi stops working after every update on iMac

I am hoping someone can help me out with this. After several months of trying to figure out what was causing the issue I have finally been able to figure it out and reproduce it. This problem is that after each and every update from Apple on my 2012 iMac, it breaks my wifi for every other device (macbook pro, iphone 5, ipad 3, ps3, dvd, etc). The network still shows, but no device can connect to it. The only one that will remain connected is the iMac (no ethernet cables used). In order to fix it I have to press and hold the reset button on the modem/router. Going into the router/modem and resetting the wifi, modules, router, etc does not fix the problem. Once I hold the reset button down and reboot the modem/router all is fine until I do any other update from Apple (or the Apps Store). Has anyone else encountered this or know of a fix (or even somethign to test)? Both the macbook pro and the imac are running Mountain Lion, all other devices are up to date as well. This is beyond frustrating!
Thanks!
-Jason

also i noticed that once i switch on my airplane mode and then connect to the wifi it works great as ever. but once i go back to normal made again the same problem occurs. can somebody plz help me.

Using same makepkg after every update?

Say if I tweak a makepkg file for a package in AUR, after an update how do i make it use my tweaked one again (instead of retrieving the default one every-time)

Profjim wrote:
One way to do this is to keep your tweaked PKGBUILD around. When you see a new version appear on AUR, check out the new version's PKGBUILD. If the only change is a bump in the version number (and a corresponding change of the md5sums), then just bump the version number on your tweaked PKGBUILD and either update (more secure) or delete (not secure at all) the md5sums on your tweaked PKGBUILD. Then makepkg in the directory containing your tweaked PKGBUILD and it will build the new version, retaining your tweaks.
There's a second, more automatic way to do this, which may be more what you're looking for. This is to use customizepkg (it's on AUR). You have to translate your tweaks into commands for customizepkg, and this tool is poorly documented. (At least, I haven't found any serious documentation. I "get" what one needs to do to make it work, though.) With this tool, you can for example, tell yaourt to check updates against AUR as well as against the official repositories. If yaourt finds and wants to install an update from AUR, it will first check if there are any customizing commands in /etc/customizepkg.d/ for this package. If there are, it will apply them to the PKGBUILD it downloads from AUR. Yaourt prompts you to inspect the PKGBUILD before installing anyway, so you'll have the chance to see if anything went wrong applying your customizations.
This second strategy takes more work specifying your customizations. However, once you've got it set yp for a particular package, updates thereafter are a breeze---at least, until the PKGBUILD changes in more radical ways.
thank you, atm i do do that first option, i keep the tweaked file and when every i feel like compiling the new svn i just copy/paste/compile/install,
will also have a good look at customizepkg, finding out how it works will be fun

Profiles being reset after windows updates?

Hi All
I'm having issues with Outlook 2013 SP1 resetting our users profiles after Windows Updates have been applied. Their profiles are being reset whilst their previous profiles are being renamed to "BACKUP of <profile name>".
Office 2013 x86 has been deployed via VL Media onto Win7 x64 machines and we are distributing the ImportPRF registry key via GPO (set to Update) in order to customise the profiles on first run. (basic email account and attaching a default PST file)
It appears that after windows updates are applied outlook is triggering the first run process again and therefore resetting the users profiles back to the standard set in our PRF.
We used this method to configure Outlook 2010 and for the years of deploying Office 2010 we never had any issues. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here or what might have changed in Office 2013?
Thanks

Apps are missing after ios5 update

after ios5 update on ipad2 all my apps are missing, how do i get them back?

I have the same problem. I disconnected and synced, and I can see them in itunes,
Disconnected from what? the computer? Did you connect to the computer again, launch iTunes and then do as I described above?
You have selected all of the apps to sync - put checkmarks in all of the boxes next to the app names and have the Sync Apps heading checked as well?
Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>On?
Are you signed into the correct iTunes account on the iPad and the computer?

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.
