W700 desktop icons get rearranged every time I boot up

I read in this forum about a similar problem some people were having on theThinkpad W500 laptop running XP where their icons got messed up when they closed the lid. My problem is that my icons get messed up every time I turn the laptop on, and I'm running Win7. I have no idea what setting needs to be changed to prevent this. Does someone have the solution?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Desktop icons are rearranged after booting

Sometimes - I cannot make up the reason - my desktop icons are rearranged after booting in alphabetical order,
and also the icon-arrangement in some of the folders placed on the desktop is rearranged !!!
I'm used to arrange my icons in my way, and it's terrible, if the icon order is ****** up !!!
What's wrong? What can I do?

It looks like, that there is no solution yet for this problem !!!
As far as I see, there' no thread that offers a solution.
I there a way to knock at Apple's door to see, if they are at least aware of this problem ???
To some degree the problem with the desktop icons has been going on, well, forever! There were even problems back in OS9 days trying to arrange the desktop the way you personally wanted them. To solve that problem then the utility DIM (Desktop Icon Manager) was born. And believe it or not, the OSX descendent of DIM still exists today! See this link. Yes, DIM still exists because the problem still exists.
Interestingly enough I don't have the problem with my desktop so I don't use DIM. I initially did install it before I discovered my desktop icons were staying put without it. Everywhere else is another story. Don't get me started on that (d@mn View Options hierarchical effect).
Speaking of View Option, one thing to check is to see if your View Options for the desktop are snap to grid or None. I use snap to grid.

I get this message every time I boot my laptop...I have uninstalled itunes and all its files and re installed three times....exactly the same result

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

ITunes Library.itl gets corrupted every time I restart my CISCO VPN enabled laptop.

Hi,
iTunes Library.itl file gets corrupted everytime I restart my laptop.
I am using Lenovo T410 with Windows 7.
This is causing alot of problems as all my iPhone songs and apps get deleted after every sync.
Please help.

I have the same problem.
I have removed and re-installed iTunes. The music files are still intact but the library gets erased every time I restart the PC.
This means I have re-scan all my music files over and over again.
Also, an inspection of the iTunes directory reveals lots and lots of temp (iT*.tmp) files, all of them are about the same size as the iTunes library database (10mb in my case) so it looks like iTunes is not closing down correctly / writing the temp file back to the iTunes library (iTunes Library.itl)file.
Can anybody help?

Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel. Please Help.

Hello,
I'm currently in mac recovery. I have a 21.5'' iMac (I think late 2011). I'm running OSX mountain lion and I think its kept up to date. Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel (not the beachball one). This seems to go on for ever (at least 3 hours) ant will not boot. Booting in safe mode does not work and results in the same problem. As I said earlier I can get tom recovery mode. Thanks Oliver.
I have on/for my machine:
Mac OSX mountain lion
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
4GB of ram
OSX 10 FULL backups (External 2TB drive)
500GB HDD
Please ask if you would like more Information.

Hello, disconnect any external drives for now.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Javascript variable getting intialized every time in IE

Hello
I have a javascript variable that is decalred outside the functions in a script so that I can access/modify it from more than one functions. I am facing an issue when it comes to IE with such a declaration. The value of the variable that is declared is getting initialized every time when the function is called. This is not happening in Mozilla Firefox. The sample code is as given below.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var errMSNo='';
function alpha_Validate(relatedMS,msNo)
errMSNo=errMSNo+'MS'+msNo;
function errorAlert()
if (errMSNo=='')
doSubmit('DRAFT');
else
alert ('Error ' +errMSNo);
</script>
Here even after calling the 'alpha_Validate', IE perfoms the doSubmit operation. Can any one help, please.
Thanks

Good day Sidharth Namrta,
It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How do I get rid of a message "airlocks32.dll" is missing, I get it every time I re-boot.

how do i get rid of message "airlocks32.dll" is missing, happens every time I boot.

And what does that (allegedly) have to do with Adobe software? you need to explain better and provide a lot more info, including at least some basic system specs.

Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

Do we get charged every time we have to update our apple app games

Do we get charged every time we have to update our apple app games?

Updates never have an additional charge associated with them. App Upgrades do. An upgrade would be going from a free version to the full paid version and there would be a charge for that. When apps are updated, new feature, new interface, etc. - there is no charge for that.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed.

type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />

IPhoto starts every time we boot our MBP

iPhoto starts up every time we boot our MBP from a full shutdown. How do we make it stop?
Thanks!

Since you are learning, when you right-click or ctrl-click on a dock icon, you will get a contextual menu. One of the Items is to have the program start at login. You may have accidentally done this with iPhoto which may explain how it got into the login items.
