System reset to default

this problem has occured twice now.
after my powerbook froze i forced it to shutdown, and then after a restart everything was reset to default. all my destop files were missing, programs were missing from the dock and folders of music and program files were missing. doing searches for the lost file names turns up no results.
what do i do in this situation?
Powerbook g4 15-inch Mac OS X (10.4.3)

What you describe is sometimes the result of having changed the name of the Home folder at any point after initially setting up a machine. If this is what you did, see this Kbase document for instructions on how to restore your account:

Good luck.

Windows 8.1 (running in VMware Fusion 6) keeps resetting my default program associations after rebooting

I tried to set Google Chrome as my default browser in Windows 8.1 (virtual machine running in VMware Fusion 6) but somehow mysteriously failed over and over again.
According to Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, there are 19 possible associations for Google Chrome:
Extensions: .htm, .html, .shtml, .webp, .xht, .xhtml;
Protocols: FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, IRC, MAILTO, MMS, NEWS, NNTP, SMS, SMS, SMSTO, TEL, URN, WEBCAL
I have no problem selecting some of them, or "set this program as default" so that "this program has all its defaults." (I am the only admin user, but not the builtin admin account.)
However, after restarting the VM, the program associations for Google Chrome will reset on its own. Specifically,
"this program has all its defaults" becomes "this program has 14 out of 19 defaults", losing the following five crucial protocols:
FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, MAILTO, NEWS
And these protocols simply hang there unassociated—they don't belong to IE either.
So I am extremely confused; how could the system reset my default program associations? What's wrong?
In case it is relevant, I will also post my VMware Fusion VM Default Applications settings here. All of the options are unchecked: "Open your Mac files and links using Windows applications"; "Open your Windows files and links using Mac applications";
"Run Windows applications from your Mac's Applications folder."
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I have the same issue, and I've posted on the vmware forums with no responses other than another person having the same issue.
Have you been able to fix this? I tried importing the same VM into Parallels and the problem goes away. If I do a manual uninstall of Fusion (and remove VMWare tools from the VM), and then reinstall both, the problem goes away - temporarily. I had a few
good months, and it started again. Followed the procedure mentioned, and it went away again, but only survived a few reboots.
FYI, it's definitely not an issue with Chrome, as I'm having the same issue with Firefox (although I can duplicate on chrome as well).
Have you figured anything out?
Thanks!

Resetting System Preferences to Defaults

Is there anyway to reset the system preferences to defaults, w/o completely restoring the computer? I just installed the 7.5 update for iTunes, and also changed some settings in system preferences, and now the sound out of my speakers sounds completely different, as if there is a blanket over them. To my knowledge, none of the changes I made affected this, as I went back to change them all. If its not iTunes, then is there any way I can just wipe clean the changes I've made to system preferences and just return to the original ones, even if they're the ones the computer came with?

hmm, that's not it. thanks for your reply though.
i've switched to other programs (using command tab) and it doesn't work.
for example, right now, i have 'terminal', firefox, safari (and finder) running. i've switched to each of these programs and command q doesn't quit any of them. something is definitely hosed up.

TS4009 how do you retrieve information after the system has been reset to default

how do you retrieve information after the system has been reset to default?

From a backup on itunes or icloud, assuming you have made backups. Connect to itunes and in the first tab for your device, choose to perform a restore.

10.5.8 Finder resets to default, desktop files gone!

The Finder on my 2008 Mac pro is really acting up at the moment an I have no idea what's going on.
My desktop has been wiped clean. Nothing there, except the drive icons. I don't keep much on the desktop but there should be a few folders and files that I always keep there for convenience. Also, Finder has reset to default settings - lost my custom Places from the sidebar and opens in icon view, which I never use.
I looked at the actual folder in Finder as well and the files are definitely not there.
What I have been doing:
I ran iDefrag on my files disk (INT HD 1TB) a few days ago (first time). I forgot to turn off Time Machine so they have probably been running at the same time.
Today Time Machine decided to backup everything from scratch, which I attribute to iDefrag switching everything around on my Files disk. Also filled the backup disk so I only have two backups at the moment, both from today.
Other than that, I have mostly been using Adobe Bridge, Photoshop and InDesign CS4 for editing quite big files. Also Firefox for normal web browsing.
Hard drives are reported to be ok. Profile is still the same name. The files are not in the Trash. Everything else is where it should be. System disk is 1/3 full. Files HD (which hasn't been affected AFAICS) 1 TB 1/2 full.
Does anyone know what could be happening to my machine?

I had the same problem and finally discovered that somehow my Desktop folder had become a Package. I could not do anything on the desktop but the apps and the dock etc. were working fine. I went to Go/Home Folder/Desktop/Show Package Contents and everything was there. But nothing appeared on the desktop. I could not open a new folder and anything I tried to drag to the desktop resulted in a permissions error. I tried all of the above fixes and more. The solution? Trash the desktop folder from your Home folder, empty the trash, reboot and start all over again. If you're lucky like I was you will have a Time Machine backup and you can restore a previous Desktop easily. Worked for me!

How Can I do a System Reset for my Nokia 3120

Does anyone know how to do a system reset on a regular Nokia 3120?
Thanks!

Yes. Take it to a Nokia Care Point.
There is no way for the end-user to perform anything other than a "revert to factory default settings" on a S40 phone like the 3120.

Try to update to Firefox 29 via Help > About or download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 29.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Why does VersaMail cause system reset after HotSync?

On a clean factory default setup Treo 650, I can set up one account -- my SprintPCS account -- on VersaMail and successfully use VersaMail to download and send emails. After a HotSync with my Outlook Calendar, Contacts, Memos and Tasks, I see the following errors in my sync log. Then, when I attempt to launch VersaMail, the 650 always immediately performs a system reset.
Error loading preferences for account '': An error occured while attempting to retrieve data from the device.

Thanks in advance for help on this, PalmOne. SprintPCS technical support has absolutely no experience as yet on this sort of problem. I was on the line for over an hour covering the same ground I had before calling them. Because this is related to two PalmOne software products -- HotSync and VersaMail, I figure you guys would have a better idea where to start troubleshooting and ultimately resolving this.
Thanks again!

let's see... digging back into the memory banks here...
I think I went to www.palmgear.com, and searched for filez, and found it there. to be more specific about your question, though, are you asking how to install files to palm in general (i doubt that just from reading your thread), or rather how to find the filez file in the first place?
for ease, anyway, here's the URL for filez
http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&prodID=9992
strange, too - and you might watch out for this if you have agendus installed on your treo - now when i click on the calendar button next to the phone button, the palm does a soft reset - VERY annoying. I haven't gone through the trouble of finding a fix for that one yet, but will search one of these days...

Leopard Resets Application Default Preferences

Hi Everyone,
I think I've just encountered a huge bug with Leopard... Whenever I enable my firewall, it seems leopard resets the default application settings for all my applications. Now every time I open Firefox or Adium (after a system restart), they ask if I want to set them as my default browsing and messaging apps. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Just to update this... I ONLY experience this issue when the firewall is enabled. If I disabled the firewall, the problem goes away. shrugs

Alter system reset   give error

hi
I run following command but not working why ?
according oracle document we can reset parameters but not working .
Oracle - 9i & OS - Redhat Linux
Thanks
SQL> alter system set sql_trace=true scope=both;

The command can be used, it doesn't matter if this is a single instance or RAC, it will work on both environments.

In case the parameter is not found at the spfile, an error will be displayed:
SQL> alter system reset service_names sid='orcl';
alter system reset service_names sid='orcl'
ERROR at line 1:

Alter system reset

I am doing the following to change the undo_suppress_errors parameter value, but the problem is that when I am resetting the parameter value back to its default, it is not doing that.
SQL> show parameters undo_suppress
NAME TYPE VALUE
undo_suppress_errors boolean FALSE
SQL> alter system set undo_suppress_errors=TRUE scope=MEMORY;
System altered.
SQL> show parameters undo_suppress
NAME TYPE VALUE
undo_suppress_errors boolean TRUE
SQL> alter system reset undo_suppress_errors scope=MEMORY sid='db1_inst_01';
System altered.
SQL> show parameters undo_suppress
NAME TYPE VALUE
undo_suppress_errors boolean TRUE
This value should be FALSE.
thanks,
aks

Sccm 2012 r2 console, devices, column layout and order is reset to default

Hi :)
I am running sccm 2012 r2 console on sccm server. I've added some columns into Assets and Management, Devices (beside default name, client, site code, client activity) ie. client version, endpoint protection enabled etc. I've left console open up and running
and after some when I get back, column layout is reset to default 4 columns :(
Can you fix please that system center consoles remember column layout and order ? (sc vmm 2012 r2 does not remember only when you add column maximum memory). :(

This has to be something to do with the consolesettings.dat file. Do you have folder redirection set up on the AppData\Roaming folder? I have managed to recreate your issue using the following method:
1. Add in some columns to the Devices view.
2. Go to the \\server\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10 and deleted the consolesettings.dat file.
3. Relaunced the console and the columns have reset to default.
4. Set the columns again, closed down the console and the .dat file is recreated.
5. Re launch the SCCM console and the settings are retained.
I suggest you check either the C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\consolesettings.dat. or \\server\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\consolesettings.dat and the time stamp of the file. Do some tests and recreate
the steps above.
Somewhere along the line your dat file is being removed with your bespoke settings.

System reset deactivates alarms

I could not turn my Tungsten E2 palm on using the power button. I did a soft reset, then noticing the battery needed to be charged, did that. After this, the palm device would not stay turned off. I then tried a system reset, which seemed to work. The device stayed off, but did not turn on to notify me of any alarms. I then tried a hard reset, which made the alarms work, but the device wouldn't stay off again. I did not do a soft reset after the system or hard resets because I read to know if the system reset worked when you set beam receive to on it would default to off. After I do a soft reset, that default does not seem to hold true, so I stopped the process prior to the soft reset.

If your device is still refusing to turn off, check for any Calendar appts., Birthdays, or Tasks around Jan. 1st with reminders extending back into 2008.
Delete the event, and normalcy should return.
