Some system settings not retained after restart

In Snow Leopard, after a restart, the sound volume setting defaults to 50% and some Finder window views settings change (icon view becomes list view) or a cleaned up window reverts to jammed up icons. Additionally, iTunes always asks to allow incoming connections even after using the Security setting to allow them. Reset the PRAM but the problem persists. Is anyone else having these problems and is there a solution?

I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and blow me down, full control of the startup sound has returned !
Maybe the Apple Store put something into the PRAM which was ML specific. I don't know. It's just working now.
Sorry I can't help explain what to do.

Panorama settings are not retained after restart.

In 4.0, the Panorama settings are not retained after restart. The tabs that make up the Panorama settings are retained after restarting Firefox. Any suggestions?

App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

Finder window settings not "sticking" after restart (boot drive only)

I have an annoying problem with the finder window only on the boot drive not holding whatever settings (list view) I give it after a restart. Odd part of it is that it reverts to some old settings I had at one time in icon view. When I switch back to list view I get a view with the library folder opened. I figure there is some corrupt setting somewhere, I deleted the desktop db for that folder with no luck. I have no problem on any other drives.
Thanks for any help,

Hi Larry,
navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.

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!

Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

Hi
I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
Thanks Nigel

Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

Input source settings not retained after log out/restart

Hi,
This was happening in Mavericks as well, and I have just upgraded to 10.10.1 hoping it would solve the issue.
I frequently need two input sources (US and Czech QWERTY Keybaords) for my workflow. But everytime I logout or restart, the computer resets the input source to Czech (not QWERTY). I have never selected this keyboard, but it always resets to this default.
Is there a plsit file or something I can delete? I bought the computer used from a friend in the Czech Republic, but I am Aermican and would prefer default system languages and keyboards to be US English. I do, however, need the region settings set to Czech Republic as that's where I work. So, calendar, numbers, currency etc. should be Czech, but all other system language US English.
Thanks for any help.

Its OK
Updating the driver worked, seems it wasnt binding the NVIDIA Config to the xserver

Settings not retained after a few days of non-use

If I don't use the iPod for a few days, when I turn it on I see the menu for selecting my language. Then I also have to reset my contrast and main menu options, etc. Essentially, my settings are not being retained.
I can understand the appearance of the Apple logo as the iPod restarts, but I shouldn't have to keep recreating my settings. It didn't used to do this.

Hi Michael
Have you had any answers to this as i'm expierencing the same problem.
If my g3 ipod has not been used for a few days,when i switch it on the contrast as at factory setting & the language option screen is displayed.
Again like yourself i did not used to have this problem
i'll keep checking this site for updates however if you have managed to resolve this i would be greatful if you could advise
Regards

System Preferences Not Saved After Restart MBP 10.6.8

Hi Everyone,
I've had a difficult time finding an answer to this question / problem that I can understand, and I'm hoping someone can help me. (The IT department where I work has not been able to help.)
Whenever I need to restart my MacBook Pro, a bunch of my preferences are lost. For example, I have to drag Google Chrome back in the dock. I lose my Expose preferences, login items I've disabled still pop up. Keyboard shortcuts with Spotlight (which I keep disabled because of a program I use), get set to default.
It's terrbily frustrating to have to reset all these things over and over again and I can't find the answer. Part of it is I'm not terribly saavy with computer language. I can find the Terminal and type in commands though. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. I'll try whatever I need to.

Sounds like you might have a series of corrupt preference (.plist) files, or else more problems.
likely a corrupt
com.apple.systempreferences.plist and a com.apple.dockpreferences.plist files in your User/Library folder
However it might not be just that alone

Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server

Hello,
I have been asked to create a test enviroment identical to the production enviroment. So, what I did was:
Backed up the production web application's content database: Prod_WSS_ContentDB
Created new test servers (domain controller, sql server and sharepoint 2013 server) in a new, completely isolated, network environment, without any connection with the production environment (specifically Azure)
Created a new web application in test environment with a new content database.
Dismounted the new content database with powershell: Dismount-spcontentdatabase Test_WSS_Content
Copy the Prod_WSS_ContentDB database to the test sql server and restored it with Management Studio.
Mount the Prod_WSS_ContentDB databe to the web application with powershell:
Mount-spcontentdatabse Prod_WSS_ContentDB -WebApplication http://testsp/
Then, when I type http://testsp in the browser it redirects me to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
and the site loads exactly as the production environment.
But, after some minutes, or if I restart the Sharepoint Server, when I navigate to
http://sitesp I am redirected to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
as expected, but the site does not load, the browser just show a complety blank page.
The Central Administration site loads normally.
Trying to fix it I found that if I dismount the content database Prod_WSS_ContentDB, then mount the test database Test_WSS_Content,
then navigate to the site, dismount Test_WSS_Content and finally mount again Prod_WSS_ContentDB, the site loads normally, no blank page, but after some minutes or if I restart the same happens again.
For the error event I receice in event viewer it seems that the problem is related to database. I have not found a solution for this error... How can I solve this?
The error is:

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server.
Please make sure you create a test environment for existing production site correctly.
Here are some great articles for your reference:

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?

My sound system does not work AFTER installing pc to tv wireless connection

Hi,
You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
VS General Question forum mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System and Visual Studio Editor.

AM is not retained after deployed the custom pages

Hi,
I have two custom pages, Create(page1) and Select Jobs(page2) pages.
In Create page I've a button called Populate Jobs, Once I click the populate jobs button it will navigate to another page. In page2 I'll select list of jobs using multiple selection.
Once multiple jobs selected I'm validating those jobs(lines) already added to the page1 when click submit button (available in page2).
Both pages have same AM and I'm retaining AM when I move from page1 to page2. In page 2 if click submit button I try to get all the existing lines which is arendered in page 1.
But i'm getting zero count but records are there. It is working very fine in my machine before deployment. But the AM is not retained after deployed to apps.

Hi.
Try adding some debugging statements using write diagnostics .
Check to see if VO is getting cleared on loading 2nd page.
Alternate solution would be to add these line id's of the selected lines before forwading.
On 2nd page, get these Id's and do whatever necessary.

Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install. What to do?

Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install. Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Changed Password Not working after restart[What to do]

Recently I've changed my password, but it's not working after restart.
I've noticed that, input option is not taking one of the password characters which is '!'.
I've the recovery disks, system accepts my fingerprint too.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Let me explain you what happened.
One evening I was trying to open my ThinkPad. Usually it asks for
fingerprint or password(I'm not sure which password, power-on/hard
drive). But this time I failed using my finger. and I tried with
password, but could not recall.
Then I restart and again tried with finger, this time it worked. Now
after login in Windows XP I removed all old fingerprints and create
few new. When I create new, it was asking for password, or new
password to replace. As I could not recall the pass, I've given new
password to replace.
Now to check I gave a restart. Fingerprint accepted for Power-on but
also asking for password again(Now I can see it's for Hard Drive). I
tried with new password. But it's not working. And even not taking one
character ('!') of the password.
Now can you tell me, if I did change password for Hard Drive in the
last description. Or is that possible to change it from Windows XP
environment. Else it's possible that the Hard Drive password remain as
it was which has been set from ThinkVantage before OS boot. Let me
know if you've any query which I've missed.
Thanks.
