Signatures disappear from preferences.

This is a problem that has only just started recently. I've had my iMac for a year.
I have two email accounts and a separate signature for each and each signature is assigned to the appropriate account.
Recently, they have taken to disappearing from the accounts. The signatures are still in the preference file, but they are no longer associating with the appropriate account. I can reassign the signatures (drag & drop) and it seems to work fine for a while but, within a day they've disappeared again. I have searched for a post with a similar problem. Anyone got a clue?
Mahalo, Big Island Event Guy.

I had this problem on one of my 2 email accounts (not the .mac one), but solved it today by reading a another discussion "Disappearing Signatures" on this list. There the poster said he solved it after a discussion with Apples Support. He said "I didn't have the right setting for my outgoing mail server."
However there were no details.
I looked at the "Account Information" tab of the Account preference and notice that the "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) was listed as "none" for the problem account.
Selecting a server seems to have fixed the problem. It used to be that everytime I quit Mail, the signatures for that account were gone when I started it up again. Now it is working!
Hope this helps someone else.

The option to set a limit on 'undo's has disappeared from preferences. How do I get it back?

The first time I used AE, we had a power cut. The next time I opened the application I went to check my preferences and the option to set a limit on 'undo's has completely disappeared from the general preferences panel. Is the application damaged/corrupted?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling AE but the 'undo's limit is still missing...

The preference for controlling the number of undo levels was removed in After Effects CC (12.1). The number of undo levels is 99, the maximum.
I presume that the update was installed between the last time you changed this value and when you noticed the change.

Apple TV no longer appearing in ITunes PLUS apple TV icon has disappeared from preferences tab in ITunes

Help, please help.
Itunes 10.5.0.142 loaded. There doesnt seem to have been a software upgrade for Apple TV

No, I don't have Netbarrier X. Ironically, I uninstalled Intego Virus Barrier X6 thinking that might be the problem but it isn't. There's currently no software firewall running on the system at all. The one thing I've been able to discern, so far, is that my partner's Macbook can connect and sync to the ATV and the only difference is that she didn't download the latest security patch (2010-001) that came out on Tuesday and I did. I've let Apple Support know but their response was "we haven't heard anything about this". However, since that is the only significant difference between our two machines and hers can connect at this point I'm presuming that's the issue.

Username 'disappeared' from System Preferences List

System is a MAC Mini with 8GB of memory and 250GB SSD with a 4TB Pegasus R4 subsystem. It is running Mavericks 10.9.4 and Server 3.1.2. A month or so ago one of its non-admin users disappeared from the System Preferences User list and from the server app's Users list. The user is unable to connect to the server. When I tried to recreate the user I was told that the shortname is already in use. Changing the name of the folder in /Users doesn't change anything.
I need to either regain access to the username or delete the username so I can create it again.
Can anyone help me?

The following command will output a list of local users. Is the one in question included?
dscl . -list /Users

Import Settings have disappeared from Advanced Preferences Tab!

I'm running Windows XP and the submenus have all disappeared from the Edit->Preferences->Advanced menu.
Any suggestions? Other than Apple test new software before releasing it?

Have found the answer to my query.
My default setting was "Custom" and this is what was showing in the pull-down menu when "Import Settings" was clicked.
Now realise that you have to select another setting first, High or Higher Quality and then select Custom AGAIN to get the change/edit dialogue box for whatever mode you wish to import with.

ICloud account disappears from Mail preferences

In Mail preferences my iCloud account didn't seem to be working so I deleted it, logged into iCloud, selected 'Mail and Notes' and the Mail account was recreated. After signing out of iCloud the account disappeared from Mail preferences. Why?

So, then, do you recommend that I remain "signed in" to iCloud all the time on both my desktop and my laptop so that the iCloud account always appears in the Mail application? Or should I "sign in" to iCloud periodically to see if I have mail in my iCloud account or, alternatively, access mail in the iCloud account through iCloud.com?
The old MobileMe mail account was always present in the Mail application unlike the iCloud mail account.

Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

Downloads disappear from list immediately and automatically when download completed

Everytime a download completes it disappears from list automatically

Are you using Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 4?? Your "More system details..." link shows that you have turned off storing of history using a Firefox 4 preference (places.history.enabled), but your post says Firefox 3.6.17.
Anyway, the general history setting affects not only site URLs, but also downloads. To treat them separately, go to
Tools > Options > Privacy
and change to Custom history settings. Does that solve it?

Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name. Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book. Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts. Click Apply and sync your phone. This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book. (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

How do you stop synched iTunes music disappearing from my iPhone 5?

I have about 35G of music on my iTunes on my iMac, a good % of it having been purchased on ITunes. The music sync setting for my iPhone 5 is automatic / everything.
For the past couple of months, I've been noticing music disappearing from my iPhone when it's offline (eg on the plane, when I listen to my music on my iPhone the most). Such music would come back as "in the cloud" when I regain wifi / data access. I would then download them onto my iPhone again. And then they would disappear again! How can I stop such annoying behavior? Does switching music sync to manual help? Thank you.

In the Messages app, in the drop down menu go to Messages > Preferences. Once there click the Accounts tab and then remove the iMessage account and that will stop all messages associate with your phone number from showing up on your computer.

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

Internal RAID Drives Disappeared from Desktop & Finder

A few days ago, one of my two internal mirrored RAID sets no longer showed on the desktop or in the Finder Sidebar. A day later, the other internal RAID set disappeared from desktop and sidebar. The two remaining internal non-RAID drives show up as do two external drives. All internal and external hard drives still show under Disk Utility and Photoshop Bridge CS3.
I checked Finder Preferences and boxes are checked to show internal and external drives on the desktop and sidebar. I looked at the drive detail under Disk Utility and nothing looks wrong with the two RAID sets ON-LINE. I unmounted one RAID set and re-mounted without any change. I tried unchecking the two preference boxes to not show the drives and rebooted, rechecking the boxes and rebooting and nothing changed on the desktop or sidebar.
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?

Well our invisible drives problem is resolved but it's not the solution that I'd hoped for.
We visited the Genius Bar at a local Apple store and they denied any knowledge of problems with invisible drives in Macs and discounted my reports from Mac forums.
I went home and ordered a new 1tb Seagate drive. When it arrived, I installed it in bay 2, copied each invisible drive to the new drive one-at-a-time, broke my two sets of internal mirrored drives, erased all the affected drives and reloaded them. Now all drives are visible on the Desktop and Finder again.
I'm hoping that the disappearing drive problem doesn't surface again but view this as an unresolved Apple issue. Now I can look at other mass storage options for future growth.
