Shortcuts sporadically reverting to defaults in CS4

I've experienced this a few times. I've change my "place" command to Command+I (i for import). Well, the default behavior of Command+I is Check Spelling. Sometimes when I hit Command+I, the Check Spelling window pops up. Much to my amazement, the place menu still shows Command+I. I guess this makes swiss cheese out of the classic "change the shortcut if you don't like it" argument, eh?
Example:
level headed AI user: "I think Command+H should be the default shortcut to hide Illustrator like all other Apple software."
AI zealot: "why don't you just change the shortcut and stop whining".
(updated) level headed AI user: "I would if it worked!"
Muahahahahahahah

Sorry Photoshop -- Problems solved -- I read the details -- turns out you need to make changes with no files open for the preferences to apply to all files.

Call park music on hold reverts to default after server reboot

Hello,
We are noticing that if you define Music on hold for the Park service, the call park music on hold reverts to default sound after server reboot. (all systems we've tested do this)
Anyone using park music on hold that can verify one way or the other?

Android 2.2 Reverts to Default email settings when roaming - Droid Incredible

When traveling with my Droid Incredible and want to send an email the phone often will lose my SMTP settings. At the same time it reverts to default settings for send / receive which means it will delete messages from POP server! Is there a roaming setting somewhere on this?

In order to better troubleshoot, we need additional information. Can you please advise what E-mail provider you are using? Can you advise where and when this has happened most recently? If the issue persists, please contact us while you are in the area affected, as we would need to determine what network you are accessing at the time, along with additional information. You can feel free to call us from a secondary phone at 800/922-0204 or DM me with a secondary contact number (other than your wireless device) so that we can conduct additional troubleshooting.

Adding a "revert to defaults" button

jpdk 1,3
I'd like to add a "revert to defaults" button
on my customize page. When I use PortletRendererUtil.renderCustomizeFormHeader(pr, out, null, "action", null, null) Only the 'apply' and 'ok' buttons are rendered. Do I have to do it manually or is there a utility I can use to do this?
thanks,
-sancho

You are right - the PDK article "Guidelines for Portlets in Edit Mode" describes such a button, which currently the JPDK doesn't support. Looking at some of the default portlets on a Portal home page, it would seem that the convention is now for this button to be called "Reset to Defaults". I have logged bug 1771249 against the JPDK and bug 1771238 against the articles to sort out these issues.

Indesign CS6 printer settings reverting to default

Hi
We have a problem which has started recently for some students when printing from Indesign CS6. Most of them have print presets which they created months ago for printing to the default printer using secure print, A3, heavyweight paper, bypass tray etc. They were working fine, but now, when they print a document using that preset it just prints on standard paper and normal (not secure) print.
I checked their print presets and in the setup for the printer within the print preset the settings have changed to the default settings. If I delete the preset and create another one any changes I make in the setup / preferences for that printer revert back as soon as I click 'Ok'. A work around I have found is that when I click 'setup' if I click on any other printer, then click back to the correct (default) printer, then click preferences and make the changes they stick and do not change back to the default settings.
This issue happens without using print presets as well, If you choose file / print and then setup, and you do not click on any other printer and then back again to the correct printer before clicking 'preferences' any changes you make will revert to default as soon as you click 'Ok'
It only seems to be affecting Indesign.
The printer is a Xerox Docucenter C6680, using the PCL 6 driver on a print server. We are also running Papercut.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I have tried trashing the Indesign prefs but this does not seem to help
Cheers
Murray

THere appears to be a Postscript diver for this printer. Have you tried that?

Outlook 2013 custom view reverting to default at random times

I have a customer who uses very specific view columns, color coding, and ordering to go with some custom addins. Every couple of months, his default view settings saved under "userdefaultview" will revert to default for no apparent reason.
Windows updates are not causing this as there is no time correlation.
System restore has worked once in the past, but is not working right now.
User is on Outlook 2013 connected to Exchange 2010 through an onsite server. He only uses one onsite desktop, and remotes in with other devices due to the large amount of customization on his Outlook client.
Thank you.

since Outlook 2003, the view settings information is stored in the mailbox or PST file. it may be difficult to determine the root cause because this issue happens every couple of months. the cause may lie with the client side or the server side.
to work around it, try to back up the custom views to a pst file which we can use to restore the views if this issue occurs. see:
http://www.outlook-tips.net/how-to/copy-outlook-custom-views/
after the backup, we can also try starting outlook with outlook /cleanviews and wait to see if it will fix the issue.

Bluetooth problems: prefs revert to defaults after reboot

Hi there,
I have a strange problem with Bluetooth and wireless input devices. I have set up Apple wireless keyboard and mouse, and also ticked "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" in Bluetooth preferences. However, after I reboot bluetooth icon disappears from the menu bar, and Magic Mouse prefs revert to defaults.
Apart from that, I am not able to tick "Allow Bluetooth devices wake up this computer" in Preferences – Bluetooth – Advanced.
What can it possibly be?
Before that I had the same issue with Dock (its icons would return to a certain state every time after reboot, no matter how I'd change or rearrange them before restarting). I managed to solve Dock issue by trashing Dock .plist files. I guess it may be the same with Bluetooth, but I don't know which .plist to trash this time (tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist, it doesn't work).

I don't have a logitech mouse, but is it possible that the mouse is going to sleep during the reboot, and is thus unavailable when the OS is looking for it?

Cases in which Domain Group Policy settings would be reverted to default settings on a Win7 client

Hi - I'm sure this info is out there somewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding it. Basically, I'm trying to identify the cases in which settings deployed via Domain Group Policy on 2008R2/Win7SP1 would get reverted back to "default settings"
on a Win7SP1 client that is still a member of the domain, and is in a proper OU, properly targeted, WMI filters should still evaluate true, etc...
For instance, it appears that if machine-level registry settings contained within a LocalGPO file on a client get corrupted (C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\registry.pol), all of those settings, plus all machine level administrative template settings
defined in Domain Group Policy, get reverted to default settings (corresponds with Event ID 1096 in System Event Log where it references "LocalGPO"). I have not confirmed if this is the case for machine level settings defined outside of administrative
templates in Domain Group Policy, or for any user level settings though. (But I suspect not.)
When a workstation is unable to talk to a Domain Controller in order to identify applicable Domain Group Policy settings (for instance, this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2421599/en-us), do administrative templates Domain Group Policy settings revert to defaults up until the next successful processing interval? I don't believe
so, but would like confirmation.
Are there any other cases in which Domain Group Policy settings for a client still joined to the Domain would be reverted to defaults?
And when a client is unjoined from the Domain, what Domain Group Policy settings would remain on the client? I understand that some Domain Group Policy settings outside of administrative templates are "tattooed" to the registry. Does
anyone know of a full list of these settings? I believe that most or all of the ones in Windows Settings\Security Settings are tattooed, and the only way to get these settings removed is to explicitly change them via registry edit or LocalGPO/Local Security
Policy, after unjoining the domain.
Any info/insight/links to other doc/etc would be much appreciated!

Hi Shaun,
>>If a client cannot talk to a domain controller at all, admin template settings still stay in-place on the client, correct?
As far as I know, it's not this case. If a client can't communicate with domain controllers, it means that the GPOs applied to the client are out of scope. As suggested by
the article I provided, for native policy, "when a Group Policy object (GPO) goes out of scope, the policy setting is removed allowing the original configuration value to be used."
>>What if a client looses network connectivity while reading Domain GPO?
Group policy will be get updated when computers start up and users log on. Besides, for workstations, group policy will get refreshed at background with by default an interval
of 90 minutes. As long as workstations can restore network connectivity, the group policy settings will get updated.
>>Are there any other failure cases like this where some or all Group Policy settings (admin template or other areas) would get reverted?
There are many reasons which can cause GP malfunction. However, Windows itself provides necessary tools for troubleshooting various issues. When GP malfunctions, we can check
Event Viewer, collect group policy result, or generate group policy log to troubleshoot.

Shortcuts for Spaces keeps revert to default settings without cause

I have a Powerbook G4 that's running Leopard 10.5.8. It has plenty of free space on the hard drive (approx 35%).
Whenever I start up my Powerbook or wake it from sleeping, the shortcut keys to switch between Spaces are no longer selected. It retains the designation I gave for which Space each application is assigned to, but the shortcut keys are for some reason reverted to where nothing is selected. Any suggestions??? This is VERY annoying.
Thanks so much for all your help

delete the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and log out/in. then set spaces shortcuts again and see if they stick from now on.

Setting CS3 apps as default over CS4 apps

Hello,
My company is currently working with CS3 applications. Our vendors use CS4, for this reason, I have a CS4 indesign program installed on my machine. I am having a difficult time setting Indesign CS3 as the default application over the CS4 version.
I have tried the standard "Get Info" solution (pull down menu to change all documents to open Indesign CS3). After selection "Change All" it immediately reverts to "open with application: to CS4. I have tried using the Choose application dialog and checking the "Always open with" option. This does not work either. Indesign CS 4 is somehow set as the default.
Does anyone know how to change the default application itself instead of just changing file types?
My machine:
OSX.5.8 dual core intel xeon
CS 3 applications stored on main hard drive applications folder
CS 4 applications store in my user spefic application folder.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Maria

I recommend you search this forum. This seems to hinge on an old registry key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT not being updated. Something to do with PhotoshopImage.90 or so. Sorry, I wasn't able to dig this up so quickly, but it's at most 2 weeks old, so you're sure to find it. Look for "file associations" or something like that.

IMovie text styles keep reverting to default

I've altered type styles in iMovie, finalized the video and exported to youtube without issue, but the next day, when I reopen the Project, some of the type styles have reverted to the default styles, and I have to restyle text. In some cases, I will copy a Project to create a variation of the video, and some of the old, default type styles will appear in the copy, even though the original is fine. There appears to be no way to manually save these changes permanently. It's causing me to delay delivery of a job. Any insights?

Hi
Do I know - NO - BUT I've a general approache
If iMovie used to behave in one way - then suddenly stops doing so e.g. after a Panic/Forced Halt (very common origin)
then most probably the iMovie pref. file got corrupted
this file contains settings as PAL or NTSC and other things that one want iMovie to keep till started next time. May be choice of font and size too.
Trach this iMovie pref file - and it will revert to factory settings - then set it at Your liking and it most probably will remain.
• Delete iMovie pref. file
iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
or - do like this.
On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go.
This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it.
Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder.
Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash. iMovie then start’s up fine!
Yours Bengt W

'the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings' - cs4 Mac

greetings!
every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
"the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
"the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would be a very very time consuming process for me.
i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
thank you
-s

s,
Every time you close down Illy, the current preferences (which may have been changed while you worked on files) are saved, and every time you start up Illy, those preferences will be used.
Usually, preference corruption probably occurs randomly, caused by the OS, but if something in your files change the preferences to something that is not viable you will get an error like that.
You may press Cmd+Option+Shift during startup, which will replace the current preferences with the defaults, and probably you will get rid of the error message. It is probably not a cure, though.
If the error is persistent, the cure would be to get rid of the offending things in the files you work with.

Assigning a new keyboard shortcut that isn't default

In CS4, I'd like to to assign a keyboard shortcut to the
"Smooth" tool (which comes up when you click pointer.) How can I do
this? When I click on Tools Panel in the Keyboard Shortcut menu, it
isn't an option and it also isn't listed in the Customize Tools
menu. I figuring, if I replace one of the available tools with the
smooth tool (again, not the one associated with pencil, but the one
that appears when you click pointer), I can do it. But how can I
replace or add to the available tools?
I'm using a mac, tiger 10.11.4
Thanks

Sorry for such a slow response. I've been up to my eyeballs in work recently! (not a bad thing). Thanks Ronin for your help. I did have a look at that link and there is some useful stuff there.
As it turns out I solved the problem another way. All I had to do was clear my synced settings and then re-sync!! can you believe that! Now when I select keyboard shortcuts from the menu the window pops up and I can customize away. Before, nothing happened when I selected keyboard shortcuts from the drop down menu!
Maybe it's a weird solo bug that only happened to me, I hope no one else suffers this infuriating thing!
Cheers
