Some settings lost after AVG virus scan

I run Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows XP SP3.
I use AVG Internet Security 2013.
Normally, Firefox runs fine and opens my chosen Home Page every time I open the program.
However, the first time I open Firefox AFTER the daily complete PC virus/trojan scan by the AVG software, Firefox opens 5 tabs:
- Welcome to Firefox
- Mozilla Firefox Start Page
- Flash Got best FF download
- AVG Secure Search enabled
- IE View.
It has forgotten my home page.
So I go to Tools, Options, General tab, re-enter my home page, and everything is then fine.
And it is fine every time I open FF again until the next day when the AVG scan runs and the same thing happens again.
What is happening and how can I stop this?
Many thanks in advance for all advice given.

It sounds like AVG is corrupting some Firefox data files when doing that scan. <br />
Learn how to not scan Firefox files with that daily scan, by reading the AVG manual or ask AVG support how '''not''' scan your Firefox Profile folder.

Is the latest version of avg virus scan incompatible with firefox?

Ive tried installing the newest version of avg virus scan and both times i get an error message regarding some kind of response time to slow. is avg 9.0 incompatible with firefox?

AVG 9.0 might work, but IMO it causes too many problems for Firefox users. You would probably be better off using either Avast or Avira.

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!!!

I purchased an album on iTunes. During the download, my computer restarted after a virus scan. When I got back on iTunes to retrieve the download, some of the songs were missing. So, now I have all but two songs on an album that I have already payed for.

Any suggestions? Other than just buying the last few songs, which I'd like to avoid. The whole getting charged twice for the same item is not ideal.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Replaced battery; won't charge beyond 27%. Some settings lost on restart

I recently took advantage of Apple's replacement program for overheating PB batteries, although I hadn't experienced any actual problems. After I installed the replacement my battery won't charge past 27%, plus the date and time reset to 1969 and my AirPort network settings are lost whenever I restart or shut down.
The power indicator in the menu bar constantly shows ""Calculating."
I've already tried resetting the PMU and allowing the battery to discharge fully.
Any ideas?

And now for the good news…
The Genius Bar at the KC AppleStore was the source of the solution. They diagnosed a bad battery (the one I'd received in the PB battery replacement program) and changed it out. All's well now, including the "disappearing" settings.

All settings lost after startup

hello,
unfortunatly my pb keeps losing all settings(mailaccounts, bookmarks, dock etc.). after i set everthing as it was before it disappeared again.
anyone knows what to do?
thanks

I sounds like you may be setting up prefs/settings for one account and logging on another account, but not quite. Any chance you lost, deleted, or misplaced your Home folder?

[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). But then after restarting all ccc configuration was lost.
xorg.conf:

And here is the log:

Does anyone know how to fix this or have a better solution on dual-head without xinerama?

I just realized that I wont need to be able to drag windows between screens. heh
I got it mostly right now. It's just that my second screen is black. You can move the mouse there but thats it. I will keep on working.
My .xinitrc
cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
setxkbmap -layout se
exec awesome
The xorg.conf.d should be untouched
sudo ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
10-evdev.conf 50-joystick.conf 50-vmmouse.conf
10-quirks.conf 50-synaptics.conf
The main issue and reason I started over was that Composite wouldn't work when xinerama was enabled.

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

Develop Settings lost after backup: HELP!

I have opened LR5 and found ALL the pictures have lost development settings that cost me hours of work.
Or better: when I open a folder in the Catalog the pictures are first shown for a couple of seconds with the edits (for example BW) than as originally imported. All the development settings are gone and can't be found anymore. The history is empty.
The last thing I did when I last used LR was a backup.
I opened the backup Catalog, but also this one doesn't show any edit.
Is there any way to recover.
I am honestly tempted by throw this software to the waste bin.
Thanks for any help.
Max Polix

While regular backups of the Catalog are a good idea, it should not really be necessary to make them every single session IMO. It is (of course) better to become confident and sure enough in the use of the software, that backups are needed only for "background" protection. If you don't trust the software, or don;t trust yourself with the software, that prevents you from progressing - so it is first necessary to understand what kinds of thing can go wrong, but also what kinds of thing cannot go wrong with LR.
Example reasons why your edits may seem to disappear from view, include firstly, that the images may have been Reset. This option applies default values to all the various adjustments, replacing whatever edited value they may have shown prior to that. However, those prior adjustments still remain accessible within each image's History; having being automatically logged to the Catalog as you have gone along, in this case as the previous step before this latest "Reset Settings" step.
Or perhaps the metadata settings may have been brought in from the file on disk, e.g. by accidentally selecting "Read metadata from file" instead of "Write metadata to file". If metadata had not previously been written out from LR to the file, then this would be like going back to its beginning "as first imported". Or if they had been saved, at some earlier point, you would be in effect recalling this earlier state again, to the top of the History. Again, however it may appear, this loading-in of the metadata is a NEW thing happening to each image. The previous step in the History still holds the PRIOR edits of the image, as they appeared before this happened.
So it is worth looking at the Catalog that you have - almost always information still held there is the key to retrieving things back to where you were before. It is important to resist rash action here: NO re-importing, NO Syncing folders, until you have worked out what the situation truly is. Then of rectifying whatever specific thing has got temporarily out of shape (most often, this is a matter of updating something within the Catalog itself), and then... carry on.

Cellular data settings lost after updating iphone 4. How do I return these settings?

Hello All,
I bought my iPhone 4 from the Apple Store in the UK, the phone was bought "SIM FREE" and hence it is unlocked.
When I used to go to the phone settings, I had the option to change the network settings for my Internet Connection, MMS settings and others.
After updating my iPhone 4 using iTunes, I lost these settings and now I cant configure my cellular data connection.
Does anyone know how to reactivate the settings for the Cellular Data Settings?
Thanks in advance,
Raed

You will need to contact the carrier. All supported carrier settings are in the iPhone's database and are applied automatically when a SIM card is installed from a recognized carrier.

Palm TX: Bluetooth settings lost after soft reset

Hi all,
all my bluetooth settings get lost, when I perform a soft reset. Does anyone have a hint which files are getting deleted or "updated" from the ROM so I can restore them from a backup? Or do you perhaps have a solution so that the settings won't get deleted?
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers!

I too have a problem with resets while using the Palm Bluetooth Keyboard 3245WW but i think my resets are only limited within Wordsmith when pressing the Delete/Del key. Try seeing if your problem is related to one particular key... though admitedly i use a T3 not a TX and i have read about others on the TX experiencing random resets. I am just wondering if it is tied to the Delete key like my problem.
My fix for my problem was to stuff some paper under the Delete key so i wont accedentally press it while typing.
