Web Browser, Mail and Chat Preferences always revert to default on restart

I have set my prefs to Adium for chat, Firefox for web and Thunderbird for Mail - however - each time I restart my machine - they always revert to iChat, Safari and Mail.
I've deleted the relevant pref files but it still happens.
I'm also using filevault if this makes a difference.
Any clues?
Thanks.

The best place to ask that question is in the Mac OS 10.5 forums here:
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard
Issues with Mail will get more eyes on the problem there than in the current forum, which tends to be more about hardware issues.
When you get there, searching for Mail issues is easily done by using the "Refine this List..." button in the upper part of the page. Click it and a number of sub-categories appear, one being "Mail & Address Book."
If you don't find a solution in existing posts. then ask you question, being sure that "Mail" appears prominently in the title, just like you did here.

Preferences always reverts to default

Every time I try to change my preferences (for sharing, importing, burning or what have you) the changes stick as long as the window is open--like if I choose another tab and then go back and check the first one without closing the window--but if I close the window and re-open it, my changes have disappeared and the defaults restored. This is driving me nuts! How can I get it to stop restoring the defaults?

Sounds like a corrupt pref file and/or a security program like antivirus blocking itunes from changing the file.
First open iTunes and at the top goto Store>Deauthorize and do this over and over til you get the message "This computer has not been authorized"
Close iTUnes.
DIsable your antivirus/security programs
Open WIndows Explorer (aka My COmputer) goto Tools>Folder options>View tab and select "Show Hidden Files" and UNCHECK "Hide protected system operating files" and hit OK
Now goto these 2 locations and delete "iTUnes.pref" and "iTunespref.xml". You will only see the "iTunes.pref" if you updated from iTUnes 6 to iTUnes 7 on the PC
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
Now when you open iTUnes you will have a setup wizard like its the first time installing itunes, go thru this once and everything will be back to normal

Social, Mail and Chat Apps as a paid service ???

Dear Nokia Team,
I would like to express my disappointment concerning the access of the Social, Mail and Chat applications on the latest s40-based Nokia mobile phones on AIS One-2-Call network (Thailand):
I purchased a Nokia Asha 303 for my wife 2 weeks ago and tried to connect her new telephone to her Facebook account via the embed Social application provided by Nokia (not the browser). It always failed to work even though everything is fine on her mobile (3g/gprs connection works, balance is positive).
Our local Nokia Care Center could not find anything wrong concerning the functioning of my wife's mobile phone and advised us to contact our mobile phone carrier: AIS
After talking to an AIS customer service officer, we learned that Facebook access through Nokia's Social application is provided as a extra option which is charged 29 THB/week !
The following link will show you the offer the AIS officer told me about:
http://www.ais.co.th/12call/chatnshare/en/nokia-cool-pack.aspx
I'm very upset. I feel like this isn't right:
I've been lured by the possibilities of this mobile phone to get easily connected to Facebook and Twitter with the Social App and access my account in just one finger tap from the home screen as it is clearly mentioned on your website:
http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-asha-303/features#social
Well, unless I decide to subscribe to the above paid service, which is unlikey to happen, I won't be using this nice feature. This is very disappointing.
Besides, Nokia's Social app is the only application available for Facebook on this mobile phone. My only alternative is the web browser ! This is definitely not good news.
Now I'd like to know:
Nokia, do you have an agreement with mobile phone carriers in Thailand ?
If so, how do you justify the existence of paid offers to access social network websites through your application while many of your competitors, if not all of them, offer free applications instead ?
If there is no agreement, then I recommend you to clear things up here in Thailand because operators are making money behind your back exploiting your own technology...

MoE14,
I would suggest making an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store to get your computer up and running again.

How to Configure E-mail and Chat functionalities

Dear all,
How to configure E-mail and Chat functionalities for IC Webclient.
through IC Webclient ICI interface how can we configure E-mail functionality, As per my understanding, E-mails can be handled in a similar way of receiving phones.
Where these E-mails can be stored?, Where we define agent E-mail id?
being ICI is a multi channel support does it need SMPT server support? If No, would there be any difference in the functionality?
How does CHAT functionality works?
Please educate in above scenarios to get a better understanding.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Best wishes

[C3] Mail and Chat are totally hopeless.

Hi.
I've bought c3 for 1 months. Everyday i tries to log on to chat and mail, but my problem is it always shows a notification like this:
Mail: service temporary unavailable. try again later.
Chat: temporary service problem. Try again later code 503.
This is really annoying. I can still use store, communities, opera mini but totally not mail AND chat. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you so much.

You did have a successful creating of Mailbox right? What client are you on? If you were using Yahoo! Mail and is set it to POP3, it would not work since Yahoo! does not support POP3 (unless you're one Yahoo!Plus) and for the chat I use Nimbuzz as its way better.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

HT201342 I cannot find any place to "Go to Mail Preferences". I have tried looking under both "Mail" and "System Preferences" and there is nothing there entitled "Mail Preferences". Where is that button located?

The instructions say "Go to Mail Preferences."

Mail and system preferences keep crashing

I just bought this new computer. I migrated my old computer (MacBook Pro (mid-2009) with OS 10.6.8).
Now I"m having problems with Mail and System Preferences crashing (this was also happening some between iCal and Mail on the old computer).
Any ideas on how to fix?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

.xbap file not opening in web browser(IE and Chrome) and just keep on downloading it

i have developed small XBAP application and trying to run (F5)
Problem is when i trying to run the Application,
its keep on downloading it (.xbap file ) and i can't see an application on Web browser even though i am developing in the local machine with .net 4.5 is installed and all necessary setting in the Internet option done.
[i just added one button in one page and not much code i have written]
i tried all the solution which i can get it from Google :-( but still failed.
Please provide me the proper solution.

You have to register the WPF Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types and file name extensions on the web server if you haven't already done so. Please refer to the following page for more information about how to do this:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms752346(v=vs.100).aspx
If you are using another browser than Internet Explorer you will need to install a plugin:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20enable%20and%20disable%20Windows%20Presentation%20Foundation
...but XBAP generally don't tend work that well in other browsers than IE.
Also make sure that you have enabled the "XAML browser applications" option under Internet Options->Security-> Custom level in IE:

Web browser zoom and text size

Has anyone figured out how to respect requests by the user from the web browser to zoom or change text size? I tried it on Adobe's home page and it seems to work for the most part, so I know it's possible, but I don't know a not too painful way of implementing this in Flex. You'd have to use the ExternalInterface to register some Javascript functions that captured the correct events and passed in the zoom or text size then change that in your Flex app as appropriate, which would take a bit of work. I'm always looking for the shortcut on everything. So if anyone knows of a widget or settings, etc. that would help in this respect, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

HT1338 Web browser crash and freeze

Every time I use the web browser no matter Safari or Mozilla Firefox, it always crash and stop responding that I have to force quit. This happens since the very first day that I've used this Macbook Pro. I've just bought it for less than 2 months. Some videos such as Mac basics on the Apple.com website can't be played. I've went to the iStudio and have it checked and they said they've done a reset and this might help, but when I came back home and start using the web browser, the same problem occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix this problem? Thank you

How to reinstall mail and restore preferences

Mail is going crazy on my MBP and MP. I am on IMAP and the spam functions on both my mac won't work. I have tried a restore and nothing will change. I have some rules and preferences that I would like to keep. How do I uninstall mail and do a clean reinstall? I have app cleaner. I also want to reload my junk mail rules and signatures.
Cheers.

"Mail is going crazy," is not a very descriptive explanation of your issues. You should provide some details, i.e, what mail service provider are you sing, what error messages are you getting, are you using Mail's junk filtering or a program like SpamSieve, have you tried deleting the Mail accounts and adding them back?
In any case, don't delete the Mail app, unless you want to reinstall Mavericks, the only way to get it back.

Viewing pvt calendars via web browser securely and remotely - not sharing

Everything in the iCal section is geared towards "sharing" which is...well...just weird. I need to be able to view my calendar info when I'm not at my imac desktop, and I need to do this from any computer web browser, over the net, securely. I don't want to publish my calendar info for anyone else but me to see. This seems like a fairly obvious application, not everyone carries a crackberry, but I see no way of doing this. I'm sure I'm just missing some obscure article somewhere...Thanks in advance!

My last comment on this is.
I'm using the gmail calendar, and have a program called "Spanning Sync"
to synchronize them.
If .mac could provide me with a working Calendar functionality, I would
have bought it. But now I'm content with using gmail instead.
Of course .mac has other functionality, but I only need email and calendar,
sync:ed and accessible from work, home-mac and mobile.
I think eventually, Apple will realize that their Calendar solution can be
improved and do this.

Web browser Certification and App connectivity issues

So my laptop shut down due to lack of power. Upon restarting, I noticed start-up applications could not connect to internet though I have a clear connection. Then once I opened any browser, I get a verification/certification errors on EVERY website along with the site not loading as they should. I tried booting up in Safe Mode with no improvement and same results.
Macbook pro running Maverick 10.9.4
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
          Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
          When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings.Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
          Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Step 7
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
