Volume settings can't save

Hi everyone,
After my upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6, the settings which i make to my volume can't be saved. Example: It seems when I adjust the volume for my mic/speaker to 100% (previously 50%) and the next time I power up the mac or reboot, the latest setting which I used on 10.5 kicks in, which was volume at 50%. Is anyone having the same issue? It isn't a big bug, but it's not like apple to leave such an error.

Well, unfortunately...it doesn't. Thanks for the reply though. Deleting the folder did permanently save your volume at 50%...so even if you changed it and reboot, it will go back to 50%. Although your advice did give me an idea. Because i am always using the volume @ 100%, i just copied the audio folder from my macbookpro and placed it in my imac's preferences, reboot and i have full volume every i start up ^^
Thanks for the hint!~

I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, 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, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) 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.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that 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 window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How can I save the settings of my iPhone 4 before resetting the phone in addition to saving the apps etc. by synchronisation with i-tunes

How can I save the settings of my iPhone 4 before resetting the phone in addition to saving the apps etc. by synchronisation with i-tunes

All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted. Do you actually mean Restore the phone? See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

After migrating to a new MBP, when saving or opening documents, I sometimes (but not always) get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

I recently migrated from a MBP with OS 10.6 to a MCB with OS 10.8. Some glitches are popping up. Here's the one on my mind at the moment:
When saving or opening documents, I get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

Since this is isolated to a single file, try exporting it to Interchange Format (.inx), then open and save the resulting file as a new InDesign file.
Since the problem occurs during export, that may not be possible. Another option to try would be to copy all elements, page by page, and "paste in place" into a new document the same size. If you used layers, be sure to enable "paste remembers layers" in the layers panel menu.
This kind of problem is often indicative of an underlying font issue. You said there are only three fonts, and you should verify that in Type > Find Font... Try replacing, at least temporarily the fonts in use with something else that you know to be reliable from other documents. You might want to do this before the other steps.

Can Enery Saver settings affect performance in iDVD

Hi,
I would like to know if changing the settings in Energy Saver in System Preferences will result in iDVD encoding taking MORE time and thus save on processor heat etc, thus allowing me to fully encode a slideshow and its transitions without the iDVD quitting unexpectedly?
I notice when I encode using BEST PERFORMANCE that I get the encoding to go further than when I choose PROFESSIONAL QUALITY.
Many Thanks,
James

allowing your system's hard drive to "sleep" while encoding an iDvd is simply NOT recommended regardless of the fact it may be less CPU intensive. Yes it produces less cpu heat BUT it also makes for a greater number of read / write errors each time you allow the HD to enter sleep mode and the transition in and of itself can trigger the application to quit.
It's best to set these energy saver controls to "Never" while encoding. The only exception is allowing the display to sleep while encoding which can safely be performed while encoding. However my personal preference is to set EVERYTHING to Never and simply turn off the display as it encodes.

Can I save my Audition CC settings on Cloud?

Can I save my Audition CC settings on Cloud? keyboard shortcuts, preferences etc. that will save my a lot of time when I install Audition next time. thanks.

You can save the contents of C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\7.0 to wherever you like. Personally I wouldn't put it anywhere near the 'cloud' as I'd want it accessible to swap out. If you want to put the settings on another machine, I reckon that a USB stick would be a far better idea for moving them.
If you're using a Mac, the path will be different, but the principle is the same.

"Import SIM Contacts" under settings-so how can you save to SIM card?

Update took several hours and afterwards, contacts as well as internet bookmarks and map bookmarks are gone. However, the pictures under the camera icon remain. How is that? Are they on the SIM card? How come contacts didn't save to the SIM card? How can you save to the SIM card through itunes or the phone?
Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?

Apps you can re-download for free. SMS's are part of the iPhone backup, they would have to copy that folder to a thumb drive along with your photos, calendar & contact database. Your iPhone backup is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Regarding your contacts & calendar, you'd have to first export them to the thumb drive, then copy to the proper location on the computer you intend to use. Same with your iphone backup & pics.

Can't save location for Trash at Server Settings (IMAP setting).

Hi,
I'd like to set a folder (one under an account name) to move messages to when deleting messages with IMAP.
I can't select Trash under an account name at Server Settings. I can only select Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
I find that the folder settting was not saved at all. Folders settings for sent messages and drafts are OK.
How can I save a folder setting (one under an account name) for deleted messages ?
I guess this situation results to 2 Trashes (one under the account name and oner under "Inbox" under the account name). In fact, I have a trouble deleting Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
Thanks in advance for any advices or clues for the solution or workaround.

(addition to the question)
To be exact, folder selection pull-down menu doesn't start with the account name, rather, start with "Inbox", therefore, I can only choose Trash under "Inbox".

How can I save the Personal Settings done in the SAP standard viewer

Dear All,
I am facing the problem that I am not able to save changes made in the personal settings of the SAP standard viewer. I want to change the Colors to monochrome and I also want to change the background. Unfortunatelly these changes are not saved and I have to do that every time I am starting the viewer.
How can I save these changes?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Markus

Dear Markus,
normally the personal settings for the ECL Viewer are stored in the registry. Here the value for background color is for example stored in the following directory:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/VCT_Retained/6.1/Common/de/ImageViewUtils
Depending in the language of the operating system the key has weither the value 'en' (english) or 'de' german.
So here the personal settings should be stored or can be modified directly.
Best regards,
Christoph

My iPod now loses my Klondike scores/settings after I "save and exit". How can I fix this?

After my last iTunes sync, my iPod loses my Klondike scores/settings after I "save and exit". How can I fix this?

I'd try a hard reset, you have nothing to lose. If that doesn't help and you can shut off the iPod (i.e. the white screen becomes black) you can try to recover it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that still does not fix the problem and it was Apple that replaced the iPod, return it to them, you have a 90 Day Warranty. If you replaced the screen yourself, I have no idea if you did something wrong in the repair or if the replacement screen was defective. That is the main risk of a self repair. I doubt whether Apple will do an out-of-warranty repair on an iPod that has been opened, but you can try.

Can't save proxies settings

Well my problem is simple to explain, but really hard to understand.
As the title sugests I can't save the proxies' settings. I need the proxies to be configures in a certain way to have internet in my college campus. I'm able to connect to the campus' wireless network and enter the college's sites because they are in their own server, but i need the proxies to be configured with a name and a port (that I know) to be able to surf the internet.
The problem is that when i enter network preferences, advanced, proxies, configure manually or with PAC file, i then it OK, Apply, and even close the lock so that it requeires password to change settings, but right next i click advanced and nothing was saved...
I can't understand if i'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug. I'm using the latest version of Leopard in a MacBook. Any help is apreciated

Are you using the "Automatic" location?
If so, create a new location first (call it College) through:
System Preferences -> Network -> Location -> Edit Locations...
Once you have created the new location, you will be able to save your Proxy Settings. Whenever you go to college, you then need to simply select: Apple menu -> Location -> College, and your settings will be picked up automagically.
Cheers,
Rodney

Printing setting job log - can't save settings.

Hi, this problem's been around some time with my printing settings.
I am attaching the my setting image as below.
User ID & User Code when printing Color from my computer is '100109'.
I want to permanently save this numbers.
However, every time I try it appears as '100108'; may be my previous setting.
How can I save it as '100109'?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Your image shows that you are using the Presets menu. If the Preset of Color has been saved with a particular User ID/User Code (ex 100108), then delete this Preset and create a new Color preset using the number you want (100109).
To do this, with the Color preset selected, click on the Presets drop menu and select Delete. Then, change to the Job Log menu, enter your 100109 User ID and Code, and then click on the Presets drop menu again and select Save As. Give it the name of Color and click OK.
Now when you print and select the Color Preset, the Job Log menu should show the 100109 User ID & Code.

Can't save anything to desktop

I can't save anything to my desktop all of a sudden... help?

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 account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked
Allow user to administer this computer
Then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
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.
