THX adjustment Questions (Settings keep resetting to the default).

Why is it when ever I adjust my THX sound settings for individual speaker dB's, speaker angulation and speaker distance they never stay saved. I close down my creative windows and THX window and immediatly click on the THX icon to open the window again and the only setting that stays how I set it is the speaker angulation while the dB's and speaker distance are all reset back to the factory preset. I'm trying to adjust my speakers and they are responsi've to my adjustment but the settings never save. Why is this happening? Anyone...

I assume you are using Audigy 2 something, it has a terrible tendency to forget setting (not just THX) to date there is no sure fire fix. It just appears to be poor software which seems to conflict with most everything. In the soundblster forum this is a common problem.

Power Options Settings keep resetting back to default and system goes to sleep.

Hi I have Windows Server 2012 Standard R2 installed on one of my servers, in which there is an issue with the power settings. In power options it keeps selecting the Balanced plan by default. Even if I manually change the power plan it still keeps resetting
back to the default Balanced plan which in turn puts the System to sleep after 4 hours. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue. I have even tried using powercfg -SETACTIVE from command prompt by giving the appropriate Power Scheme
GUID. But it didn't work either. Anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server. Windows Server does not do that. I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.
Do you have power savings enabled on your NIC card? Is there some setting in VMware?

IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

Hello,
I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
It is getting rather infuriating

Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
Anyone able to help?

This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
Delete these three files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
Restart the computer.

Keyboard and Mouse Settings Keep "resetting"

Ok so I set up my keyboard's F5 to be the Desktop View ( F11 the old way ) and squeezing my mighty mouse, I set to Expose... but every time I do that, it resets itself after like a day or so..
Anyone experience this? I have to go back in and check off the F5 option again, and I have to change my mouse from Button 4, to Expose.
HELP!

I am having the same problem. I have my system preferences setup to synch with my .mac account. The mouse settings keep resetting on both computers I have synched.
The problem seems to have ramped up since the update to 10.5.3. It is now happening every synch.

ThinkPad X220 UltraNav Settings Keep Resetting to Default on Reboot

Hello,
I use a ThinkPad X220 and until the last week I barely had any problem with it. The UltraNav driver settings did occasionally reset themselves in the past, but that was only when I updated the driver or used Windows Update. Since last week, however, I found the settings reset every time I shut down my computer.
I checked the solutions on other threads (which normally pertained to other systems), but to no avail. I even tried installing the Synaptics driver instead of the UltraNav driver, but I encountered the same problem: the settings kept resetting for the other driver the same way it did the Ultranav.
I updated all the drivers for the machine as of this morning, and still there is no difference.
Could anyone help me out here? I am unable to use the TrackPoint unless it is set at its lightest touch, and it is quite inconvenient to have the settings reset every time I boot up the computer.

My Firefox Settings Keep Resetting

So I just put the settings I previously used and it works fine until after a few hours when I open firefox again, everything is reset so I have to start the process all over.

Since transfering to a new PC (Windows 8) all my Bookmarks & options settings keep reverting to the initial "Defaults" whenever I restart

Since transferring to a new PC (Windows 8) all my Bookmarks & options settings keep reverting to the initial "Defaults" whenever I restart.
This affects all my Bookmarks; Menu Bar settings; Add-on settings; history; Home Page et al
In fact everything

What files did you transfer to the new computer?
It sounds that there is a problem with the file that stores the preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

'the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings' - cs4 Mac

greetings!
every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
"the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
"the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would be a very very time consuming process for me.
i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
thank you

s,
Every time you close down Illy, the current preferences (which may have been changed while you worked on files) are saved, and every time you start up Illy, those preferences will be used.
Usually, preference corruption probably occurs randomly, caused by the OS, but if something in your files change the preferences to something that is not viable you will get an error like that.
You may press Cmd+Option+Shift during startup, which will replace the current preferences with the defaults, and probably you will get rid of the error message. It is probably not a cure, though.
If the error is persistent, the cure would be to get rid of the offending things in the files you work with.

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!

IPod Touch 4th keeps reseting all the time!!

Hey everybody! I really hope that you guys can help me..
I was trying to exclude an app and then I decided to reset my ipod touch 4th. Now, it keeps reseting all the time by itself! The ipod don't turn off or even less turn on.. What can I do??

- Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod then restore the iPOd.
- Next see if recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so your can restore it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Then try DFU mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Then, let the battery fully drain and then charge and try again.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Since I upgraded to Yosemite my screen saver keeps reverting to the default pictures.

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.
