  • User Settings lost after session is released

    I am having a problem with the User settings being lost after the user logs off the system.
    menu settings, fields displayed in Marketing  Documents,  displayed User Defined fields and the
    sequence of User defined fields get lost after the session ends.  This does not happen to all users,
    just some users.  The users that keep losing their settings keep losing their settings,  the ones that do not have a
    problem seem never to have a problem.
    has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how has it been resolved?
    Thanks in Advance!!!

  • ITunes settings lost after reboot

    I have a problem where after a reboot the settings of iTunes are back to default. For example:
    it loses the account for the Store (I have to re-enter email address and password);
    it loses the wifi sync settings for my devices
    it shows the iTunes tutorials screen, as if I'm starting iTunes for the first time
    settings under preferences are lost
    Other things are not lost:
    the library is still there;
    iTunes remembers the devices (when connecting it is handled as a known device) and knows what playlists/apps/.. to sync with it.
    Since I'm not rebooting my Windows 7 PC a lot, the problem is not occuring a lot, it doesn't keep me from using iTunes, it is just annoying. Now after rebooting I decided it's enough and I would post the issue (since I can't seem to find a comparable issue).
    Also worthwile noticing is that the problem is already there for some time, though I can't exactly pinpoint anymore when it started. Possible when iTunes 9 or 10 were realeased.
    Now I'm using:
    Windows 7 64-bit (completly up to date)
    iTunes 10.5.2.11
    Thanks for any help!

  • NIS+ and nsswitch.conf settings

    I am pretty new to NIS+, but I'm investigating setting it up in environment to help alleviate management of various files on a per-system basis. For NIS+, there is the concept of a master server and a replica server. If the master server goes down then then the replica takes over.
    If for any reason both master and replica servers are down, then the /etc/nsswitch.conf file determines the order of precedence. The entry for passwd in the nsswitch.conf file is:
    passwd: files nisplus
    One of my goals of setting up NIS+ is to alleviate having to manage a password file for each machine. If for some reason both of my NIS+ servers are down, it will revert back to the /etc/passwd file. Does this mean I would still need to have an /etc/passwd for each machine as a safeguard? or does NIS+ perform some kind of syncing mechanism to maintain local consistency of files for clients?
    Many Thanks

    Nope, he was right. If you look at the /etc/nsswitch.conf (or nsswitch.nisplus if you haven't moved it in yet) you'll see the entry:
    passwd: files nisplus
    The order of the lookup is "files" (which is your /etc/passwd file) first, and then if it can't find the entry there it will go out to the nis+ server. So essentially you'd take the users you want to use NIS out of the client passwd file and put them into the NIS+ passwd file.
    I think the problem you're having is that you still want the users to have the access to the client & resources, even if the master & secondary servers go down. That's just not possible. The master & replica servers are there to provide the functionality of centralized user management. If that functionality is lost, then naturally you will see degradation in the quality of service you provide to the end user. So if both servers do go down, then your users will also be down. That is why there is redundancy built into the NIS+ system so that if one of the NIS+ servers go down, the client has a secondary server it can contact & authenticate to. The theory is that you can get the primary server back up and running while your secondary server handles the load. If you are concerned about the master & secondary server going down at the same time, then please note that you can have more then one secondary NIS+ server.

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 - Linux Guest VLAN Settings lost after reboot

    Hi Guys,
    last night a have seen a strange behavior with a Sophos UTM 9.204020 Linux Guest VM. (This VM is based on SUSE SLES v11? i think)
    So i have Setup this in my home lab and experienced the same problem.
    ----Setup-----
    2 External VM Switches
    Management OS is on VLAN 4093 with IP 192.168.20.1
    The guest network adapter is in Trunk Mode, VLAN Tag (4093) is set in the guest OS with IP 192.168.20.100
    Everything works until you kick off a reboot from the guest or hyper-v console, after the reboot you loose the connectivity on the network adapter with the vlan trunk.
    If you shutdown the guest and start it everthing works again - this happens only on reboot!!
    I have tried diffrent things (static mac, enable disable hardware features (vmq/offloading etc) on the vm network adapter but always the same error.
    After some search on the net i have found this article: Link 
    This guy has the same problem with another linux vm (based on debian) his workaround was to trigger a powershell script with the eventlog after reboot of the vm, this works for me too but this must be bug?
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    André

    Hi Andre,
    I would suggest you to install the supported Linux guest OS on hyper-v , please refer to following link:

  • Help needed - Can't access OneKey Recovery restoration option after system reboot,

    Hi,
    I run OneKey Recovery, after I choose "recovery", and system reboot.....system automatically log in Windows 7 again, rather than access OneKey Recovery restoration option.
    I am using G570 and  OneKey Recovery version is 7. this issue never happened before, it always reboot to OneKey Recovery restoration before....please help. Thanks

    You shouldn't need Command + R since the Option key will present you with the Recovery boot volume. Seems something is amiss there, I'm willing to bet you may have been using a wireless keyboard.

  • Workgroup setting won't stay after system reboot

    Even though this issue was reported in 10.7, the issue still remains in 10.8.
    Background:
    I have a home network consisting of a iMac (2011) and two Windows 7 PCS connected to a Netgear Gigabit switch. I on occasion transfer files to and from my Mac and my Windows PCs.
    Pre OSX Lion, This situation worked fine. But since Lion and now Mountain Lion I am no longer able to copy files to my Mac from my Windows Pcs. Copying files from my Mac to my Windows Pcs work fine. In troubleshooting this issue, I found out in the Network system preference option after selecting ethernet and then the advanced button, then clicking on the Wins tab, that the Netbois and Workgroup fields are blank. After providing a Netbois name and the workgroup name the same as the Windows Pcs, then selecting the OK button generally works. Sometimes I have to go in multiple times before it takes the information but once it does everything works as it suppose until I reboot or shutdown and startup. If I do either when I go back into the Network in the System Preferences the fields are blank again.
    I've followed some of the suggestions from the other support documents but they did not work for me:
    1. Deleting the com.apple.systemperference.plist file and .lockfile
    2. Create a duplicate ethernet service add the necessary changes then make that ethernet service the active one after disabling the original one.
    None of these worked. I submitted on Apple Feedback this issue when I was still running OSX 10.7.2 but it never was fixed and now Mountain Lion behaves the same way. I will be submitting once again in hopes someone at Apple pays attention.
    It seems this issue has to do with the Apple inhouse developed SMB share implementation. When they was using the SAMBA software I had no issues.
    I even did a clean install of Mountain Lion to make sure the problem would not be transferred from Lion. Didn't make a difference.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    That work around is great. A lot easier that typing in the info repeated before it takes just to have to do it again after the next reboot. If anyone has access to the Apple Bug Reporter, please add this bug for all of our sakes.
    Two things.
    1. After the initial ML install, the word workgroup was in the workgroup field. And that did not disappear after each reboot. Only when changing it to something else is when the problem manifests.
    2. I wonder if the Macbook Air and The new Retina Macbook Pro has this same issue being that they too come with SSD styled storage. If anyone have these macs please reply with your findings.
    Thanks
    p.s. Again would really appreciate someone with Apple Bug Reporter access to log this issue. Thanks again

  • All system preferences / settings lost after restore

    Maybe I'm missing the point, but I had to run a restore last night after a hanging software update. Basically what happened was I was running normal software update (tryna get that iPhone os update), and it got hung up installing something. I was forced to restart, and the machine would not restart...
    So after going thru the requisite repair disk permissions and AppleJack to find my startup disk was not corrupted and still in fact had data on it (yet still couldn't restart) I just reverted my system to a pre-backup version via Time Machine, a backup that had occured just hours prior.
    While I did not lose any data, I did lose:
    - my default itunes library was reset (i keep my music on a separate internal disk, I had to manually add all my music into the library)
    - extensions / bookmarks / settings / saved passwords in Firefox, Coda, FTP programs, etc
    - haven't checked yet, but possibly Apache / Ruby installs on my startup disk too
    - Dock / desktop background / mouse configuration / network configuation etc.
    It's basically like a new computer but with my old files and applications installed on it.
    is just how time machine works? i'm glad i didn't lose any data, but it's a real pain to set everything up the way i had it before...
    any insight would be rad!

    That sounds like corruption on your backups, but given what happened next, I don't think so:
    * now i'm getting the "no" symbol upon startup. great, that means it can't find os X on my startup disk. it goes to the next available startup disk, which happens to be another internal drive with windows XP on it.
    That wouldn't be caused by the problem restoring Application Support.
    * i boot from the install disk again. run disk repair. install disk doesn't even show a formatted / S.M.A.R.T. verified disk in HD Bay 1. somehow hard restarting just totally ruined my startup disk...damnit.
    * i can't even start in single user mode.
    * try to erase and/or re-partition the startup disk from the Disk Utility on the CD, and can't do that either. it gives me some resource busy error. this appears to be a Leopard bug and fortunately I can reformat from the snow leopard install disk.
    I'm very suspicious of your internal HD. Try this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
    so, i'm left with reinstalling os 10.5.x via install disk on my now erased / reformatted hard drive. after that, i'm going to try to (again) restore from the time machine disk (thank god all of my media and time machine backups are on separate hard disks...). Will a time machine restore into a freshly installed OS from a previous install?
    Depends. A full restore, where you start from your Install disc, will erase the drive and restore everything, including OSX.
    If you do an +Erase and Install+ of Leopard, then use +Setup Assistant+ (see #19 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), it will bring over everything you select except OSX. Then download and instal the "combo" update to get back to 10.5.8. http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • [Solved] Catalyst Control Center settings lost after reboot

    Hi
    After having a working desktop I decided not to use xinerama because it wouldn't work with the composite extension. So i decided to start from scratch. After following the wiki on making a dual-head setup in my xorg.conf file it kind of worked (cloned display 1280x1024). I changed settings in ccc and all was perfect (Big desktop 3200x1080).

  • Network settings lost after update to 10.5.7 after each shutdown

    After my machine is shutdown or restarted my airport settings are lost and my mac fails to connect to my network. Each time I reboot the mavhine i have to manually enter the network details.
    In my case, my router is not broadcasting the SSID (which is more safe) and airport is not recognize it anymore. the connection information stills on network preferences but the system does not use it, or does not check the SSID, or does not reconnect, or i dont know. So i have to manually enter the network details again
    is there anyone with the same experience ???
    brgds,
    Paulo

    G'day Paulo,
    The hidden SSID is [not much safer|http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3576541] than a broadcast one. It will stop only the most casual of snoopers from trying to get in.
    Security will primarily come from a good WPA2 pre-shared key (64 bits long, nice and random, changed periodically). Even a determined hacker will find it very hard to get in with this.
    With regard to your problem, it might be a good idea to delete the access point settings on your Mac, set the router to broadcast and then see what happens.
    If you are determined to hide your SSID, you can do that after you get the basic connection working again.
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • Mail settings lost after restart!

    This is beginning to drive me mad! It has only started happening recently, (I haven't dowloaded any patches or add ons to Mail or any other programme for that matter).
    After restarting, or shut down and rebooting, Mail has lost all of its preferences. I have to add my account details again and change any other features that I previously changed.
    Anyone have any ideas why this is happening, and is there a preference file/s that I can backup manually so that I can just replace them and get back to normality?
    P.S. Don't know if this is any help, but my Safari settings are also lost. Including ALL bookmarks! HELP!

    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), in case there is some filesystem corruption, as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    This all seems to be caused by downloading the latest Airport update.

  • Settings lost after reboot (1841)

    After learning the basics of this router over the past few days I can't get the actual setup/settings to remain saved after the router has been shut down for a day or two (still learning and experimenting).
    Having set it up the way I want it, both through console and SDM I either save the config through SDM or "wr me" through the console and the settings are saved without any issues.
    However, whenever I've turned it off and then on again I get the "Would you like to enter initial configration dialog? [yes/no]". I've always chosen "no". I get the message that the router has undergone a cold start and my interfaces are set in a administratively down state.
    Doing a "show running-setup" reveals all of my settings have been reset.

  • Develop settings lost after re-importing folder of DNG files

    I've been using LR for several months, and - after getting accustomed to its peculiararities - love the program.
    This evening I re-imported a folder of DNG files that I had previously removed from LR - using the "add" import option. When going to the Develop module, I noticed that my original develop settings were no longer applied.
    Aren't these settings incorporated into the DNG files? How could they get lost? Are they over-written when re-importing the files?
    I always backup my catalog before closing. Does the catalog backup contain the original develop settings for these DNG files?
    I know I must have done something wrong! Please advise & explain. Thanks.

    Seven_D wrote:
    Thanks. I do have autowrite to XMP checked. - I learned that lesson a few months ago!
    I will see if I can use an older backup to recover the settings. I have never done that before, but I know where my catalog backups are located. If you can give some advice on that, I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose other DNG edits in the process.
    Correct me if I'm wrong - but it appears that if I ever do want to remove a previously imported folder from LR for whatever reason - I should just edit the RAW files without converting to DNG. I know DNGs are more compact, but at least the sidecar files associated with the RAW files will always be there! This is more important to me than conserving disk space!
    just try it on one or tow files to test. Also look at "Read Metadata from file" in the current catalog first with ine file to see if that helps. Did you have a Prest applied when importing like Zeroed?...... None is the best for importing files with dev settings already applied.
    I use DNG exclusively and haven't experienced your issue so review your import settings as mentioned.

  • LR4: tone curve settings lost after upgrade

    I've find an annoying bug in this new version that makes me really crazy.
    I've a Nikon D300S and a D7000.
    After the importation of the catalog in the new Lightroom 4 all the D7000 .dng files have lost all the tone curve settings (I normally use linear).
    The D300S files instead retain the tone curve settings.
    It's a very strange behaviour: I've lost more than half of my old photo settings.
    It's really frustrating.
    Will be resolve soon this problem?
    Until that day, for my older works I'll be obliged to continue to use LR3.

    I've probably found a sort of workaround!
    I've made some "organized" tests and here I report my findings.
    Using LR3.5, I prepared a "test catalog" using 4 images from 7 different cameras (28 images total): for each of them, I used both the original nef and the dng converted file (56 files in the catalog), all develop process was set to "2010".
    The cameras were Nikon D70, D90, D200, D300s, D700, D5000, D7000.
    I applied a strong tone curve to each image in a way that the appearance was heavily characterized.
    Before exit LR3.5, I SAVED ALL THE METADATA TO THE FILES.
    Opening and converting the catalog using LR4, doesn't show any visual change until I zoom in library or open the develop module: both these operation lead to a flat image with the strong tone curve lost.
    Curiously, the history retains the original steps but they are ineffective: histogram and tone curve changes according to the visual change but for some camera the "new" tone curve is "medium contrast", for others (D5000, D90) is "linear", for D300s is "custom" (linear with blacks cut at 9.8%, and this explain my initial impression that D300s's curves were untouched, sorry). This last behavior may depend on the fact that I've different default develop settings depending on the camera serial number.
    Finally, the update to the 2012 process only minimally changes the visual appearance and surely doesn't restore the lost tone curves.
    And here is the UNEXPECTED WORKAROUND: doing a READ METADATA FROM FILES IT RESTORES THE TONE CURVES (and the 2010 process)! Upgrading the process to 2012 minimally changes the visual appearance again but now the strong tone curve is present and evident.
