Sorting keeps reverting back

Hi guys
I'm quite particularly about how I catalogue my music on iTunes so I always edit the song Info tab and use the Sorting tab's function, but it keeps reverting itself back.
First of all the edits made to a song's Info will revert to whatever it was downloaded as and sync this incorrect details to my iPod without me realising, this is quite easily sorted by going to a song's Info and it will just revert on it's own, I can easily work my way through all the songs by clicking on Next repeatedly. It's still a bit annoying though.
This also affects what's under the Sorting tab, reverted back to the details that came with the file when I downloaded it. Unlike the changes made to the Info tab this doesn't undo itself by opening the Get Info screen - I have to work through all the songs again.
It does this every few days and is a bit annoying when you're as anal as I am about having this properly catalogued and categorised. Does anyone know why it might it might be reverting it's Info and Sorting details back?
Many thanks
Steve

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

I am having trouble removing/changing my iphone id. It keeps reverting back to my partners id any help would be appreciated.

I am having trouble removing/changing my iphone id. It keeps reverting back to its previous id. How can I fix this problem?

Jgreg14 you have my sympathies. 36 hours ago while using my iPad I was told that my Apple ID had been disabled. Like you I went to the forums, reset my password, and also like you, nothing changed. I have contacted iTunes support and after 24 hours they responded with this:
Cesar here from the iTunes Store Support Team. Your inquiry is very important to me, so I have requested assistance with the issue you reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Take care!
Boy do I feel special. I sat on the phone to the UK helpline for 30 minutes, and have been told my case has been elevated to "URGENT".
Basically I was wondering if you ever got your problem sorted out?

My APPLE ID is NOT working properly. I am frustrated beyond belief I have tried time and time again to change my apple ID and it keeps reverting back to my original ID!! I even set up a new email to try to submit a new id and it still does not work

To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your Apple ID.

Alpha Channel Settings keep reverting back to "Ignore"

Hey All,
Just diving into FCPX and I had a question about the alpha channel. After finding the Alpha setting in the inspector, I switched to it premultiply. However, upon clicking out of it, the inspector reverts back to "ignore alpha." It does this whether I change the clip in teh Project or the Library. The title animation I'm using was exported from after effects with the animation preset.
Is there a reason why it keeps reverting back to the ignore alpha setting?
Thanks

The computer may require a reset of the +system management controller...+
• Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
There had been a reset method in prior models of PPC powerbooks, etc
that worked by putting your palm/hand flat over the trackpad for a few
seconds, then moving it one direction in one pass. However, that seems
to not be suggested in remedies to resolve Intel-based trackpad issues.
Hopefully the SMC reset will help.
Good luck & happy computing!

Do you mean that all changes you made to your files are lost, or do you mean that changes to your preferences are lost? For example, pick any small file, make a copy of it, and put the copy on your Desktop. After rebooting, is the copy still there?

My Adobe programs keep reverting back to CC instead of 2014.

My Adobe programs keep reverting back to CC instead of 2014. I have tried restarting my computer as well as uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. InDesign won't install at all but it doesn't give me an error code, it just says "Installation Error."

Is this about internet shortcuts on the desktop or bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar?

Changing "Reel" number keeps reverting back to old number.

I have a situation where I changed the reel number on about 75 tapes that I have. After changing the #'s, I noticed that about 65 of the changes kept and about 10 keep reverting back to what they were before I changed them. Any ideas on why this is happening? As an example, I had the tapes numbered as: 1001, 1002, 1003, etc but decided to be more specific with my tape labeling and changed them all to HT1_1001, HT1_1002, HT1_1003, etc. All the changes stuck except for a select few. I've even tried dragging the source quicktime file (which is labeled correctly) back into the project...to no avail.

I don't think I would have thought of that, assuming your capture scratch was all on one drive. Thanks for posting your solution, hardly anyone ever does that around here.

HT3529 My icloud account keeps reverting back to my old account on my iPhone?

Why does my newly created Apple iCloud account keep reverting back to my old account, which happens to be my ex husbands email?

Sign out of the account on the device and sign in with the new account.
Just keep in mind that purchases and content are permanently tied to the account they were acquired with.

My internet connection keeps reverting back to using a manual proxy server configuration pointing at 127.0.0.1 Port 55414. I've tried the help regarding the user.js and prefs.js files but still it continues to revert to the manual proxy configuration!

I know how to change my network settings to fix my internet connection, I just select "Auto-detect network settings for this network" under Tools, Options, Network, Settings. However every time I close down Firefox it reverts to the manual proxy configuration pointing to 127.0.0.1 Port 55414.
I've tried all the suggestions under saving your preferences but this hasn't worked so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. If I can't sort this I'll have to revert back to Internet Explorer as this doesn't have this problem!

Why does my upgraded version of FF keep reverting back to an older version?

For the past month, I have repeatedly installed FF ver. 3.6.19. It takes and everything is fine when the window is initially open. As soon as I close out of FF and open it back up again, it reverts back to 3.6.15. This happens when I close out the window or I restart my computer. I have uninstalled FF about 4 times now and just installed 3.6.19 but it keeps reverting to 3.6.15. However, in the Control Panel, under Uninstall Programs, it is listed as 3.6.19.
I also frequently get a pop box that tells me to upgrade to 3.6.18. I click ok but it just keeps "scanning" and no update ever takes place.
This problem actually started when I upgraded to FF ver. 5. I had version 5 on my computer for a few days and then it somehow downgraded itself to 3.6.15. I have not be able to successfully upgrade FF since then.

I don't know what "popup" you're referring to. Do you mean the Control Center? If so, you can turn off that feature appearing in your apps in Settings - Control Center. I also don't know what you mean by "where did the dictionary go". Can you explain your problem more completely?
As to downgrading, that is not supported. If you are unhappy with features in iOS 7, you can comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

Itunes folder on external drive keeps reverting back to local iTunes folder

So I have all my digital music,pictures and videos stored on an external drive. I have 3 different MBP acessing these files and itunes randomely reverts back to the default local itunes folder and then I have to change and organize all over again which includes dups that I have to manage and delete later. What a pain in the arse! Does anybody have a solution that prevents this from happening, running Lion on all 3 MBP.

They are all using the library (and by that I specifically mean the library file, not just the media files) at the same time? Maybe when one is actively using the library file it prevents the others from using it or somehow interferes and makes them think the library on the external is not usuable and they revert to the internal one.
If this is set up through some fancier nettwork then probably hte person who can answer your question will want to know the details. iTunes typically revets to default when it cannot find a library on an external drive and perhaps something is happening with the network to change the identity of the drive in the way your computer perceives it.

Safari has a mind of it's OWN, it keeps reverting back to the previous website and screen flipping through my previous web history?? HELP!!!!!!

I have Lion 10.7.2 and use Safari 5. When I get online and open a website, then go to a new website Safari will take me right back to the previous site automatically. I have reset Safari and there is not an issue with the interenet access. Went to the Apple Store and the same issue happen. Example: Logged on and went to homedepot.com, after looking at the website, I went to weatherunderground and was taken right back to homedepot.com.
Checked, updated Flash, still the same issue. I am now starting to loose emails. I could be in the middle of typing an email and I get reverted back to the previous website. Does anyone have insite as to what is going on or has Safari 6 fixed some of these bugs that are going on? I can't take much more of getting thrown back through my previous web history. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

ITunes music folder keeps reverting back to default

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it: I just moved my music library to a new hard drive, following the Apple instructions on "moving the iTunes music folder" (i.e. changing the iTunes music folder location on the advanced tab in preferences, setting it up to copy files, and then consolidating the library). The move worked, but for some reason, whenever I exit iTunes and come back in, the iTunes music folder reverts back to the default (C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents\My Music). It doesn't announce it or anything, but when I go to add new music, it sends it there instead of the new drive. What am I missing on the transfer?
Windows XP SP2

"booting up"= turned on.
I have noticed that you have posted on a thread that is 2 months old. This is really a bad idea as your issue can be easily overlooked. It's always much better to "start your own topic" by click on this link on the forum main page.
