Which settings are saved with my Apple-ID?

Like Weather, Stocks, Keyboard Shortcuts, ... And how can one reset them to default? I mean those settings which come with an iPhone when it is resetted and not linked to any Apple-ID during initial setup. Thanks for any hint and Happy Easter. BR, Christoph.

Or, turn off Documents & Data for iCloud & the stuff won't sync. Not associated with your ID, per se, but synced to iCloud.
I've just done a test. I added a city to the weather app on one iPhone. A few seconds later the same city then appeared in the weather app on another iPhone logged in to the same iCloud account ID. So there is more syncing going on (not restoring from backup) than I realized. cwallwey raised a reasonable question - what other data are syncing behind the curtain? I knew about contacts, calendars, notes, etc. I did not know about weather and stock data, or keyboard shortcuts as discovered by cwallwey.

Mailbox and other printer-specific settings are saved with an Excel file

From the KB article:
"When you send a Microsoft Excel workbook to another user account in an e-mail message or store the file on a network share, with the print settings set to print to your mailbox or to a local
printer with specialized settings, these settings may still be in effect for the other users. If they print the workbook, it may either print to your mailbox, not theirs, or it may try to print by using certain settings for your local  printer.
I have several users who occasionally experience this exact issue with Excel 2010. A KB article actually exists for this problem (KB:829766)
and at one point a hotfix was available. I assume this issue was "fixed" at one point however the KB article was updated in April with
Article ID: 829766 - Last Review: April 27, 2012 - Revision: 2.0
APPLIES TO
Microsoft Excel      2010
So it appears that it's acknowledged to be happening in Excel 2010 but the hotfix was pulled. Does anybody have any idea about how to fix this
issue without the hotfix? I tried the registry entry that was mentioned in the KB article but it did not resolve the issue. Is there any other way to get Excel 2010 to ignore printer specific metadata? We do not want to have to deploy a VB script to remove
this information on each sheet.

I am having a similar issue: Users are saving excel documents onto a notwork share, some are using sercure print others do not use secure print. The users using secure print are saving a document with secure print selected and when others go to print it secure
prints for them. The registry edit will solve if I go to each users machine and add the registry edit, however as we add new users to the company it would be a headache managing who needs this key setup. Is there a way for people who do not want to use secure
print to not inherit these settings? I mean the easy solution is just to have users select the printer properties they want each time they print, but I have come to terms that, that will not happen despite the issues caused.

Quicktime Settings are saved ...Where?

Greetings, anyone know where the Quicktime control panel applet saves it's settings?
I have Quicktime player installed on XP Pro machines. Latest SPacks and updates applied. In Win2003Domain, and users have mandatory profiles and run at user level. Problem is getting Quicktime settings ( in the Quicktime applet in control panel ..ver is 7.3 or thereabouts ) to stick. For example if I open up the Quicktime Applet in control panel, and want to uncheck Play Movies automatically or set Mime settings so that Quicktime is default MP3 player, I can check and uncheck these settings, however when I close the applet, the settings are lost.
I need to find a way to get these settings to stick, not for the user, but for me as domain admin. The only way I have found to make them stick, is to temporarily make the Domain Users administrators on a workstation, start the Quicktime applet, make the changes, logoff and remove domain users from Workstation administrators group. I could spend the next week doing this but I think there must be a better way...
I am trying to find out where these settings are saved so that I can apply them to the users mandatory profile at logon but have come up against a brick wall.
I have tried:
Registry -- setting all Apple and Quicktime locations I could find to Users Full Control
Local Settings\Application Data\Quicktime - Users full control
Application Data\Quicktime - Users full control
Setting the Quicktime and Apple folders to Users\Change permission in Program Files
I have also tried copying profiles that did work on the workstaion to the server and making them manadatory profiles that are called by user accounts, but the settings are not applied...they just revert to the default Quicktime ones.
Any suggestions
I am stumped. I cannot figure out how to make these settings stick. I need to do this because a particular application that uses Quicktime Plugin in IE7 casue IE7 to freeze because Quicktime automatically checks for updates and this seems to cause the whole thing to freeze at 100% CPU until killed by Task Manager. Once I disable this setting in Quicktime the Web applet works a treat.
Thank you for reading this rambling treatise.

Thanks to all who replied, however..
If the settings were stored int he CPL file ( which would be very odd but there it is ) I would expect that I could create a CPL file with the settings I want on one computer, and copy them to the same folder on another computer whose settings I want to standardize in the domain, however, this does not appear to be the case. I copied the entire ..\Program Files\Quicktime folder from one computer which had the settings I wanted, to another computer which didn't. The settings did not follow the copied Quictime folder and contents, so, with all respect and gratitude due to those who replied, I don't think settings are stored in the CPL file or any other file in the Quicktime folder.
In any case, I don't really care where they are stored, I just need a way to propagate a single set of settings across multiple computers in a domain. I've never run across an application before that was so reistant to this type of thing...
Thanks again

No settings are saved

When I exit Safari and re-launch, none of my settings are saved. This includes preferences for start page, status bar, toolbar as well as bookmarks.
I'm running on Windows XP SP2 with full administrator privileges.

This problem is due to the fact that Apple has not yet incorporated certain advanced features into Safari. The advanced feature that is missing in this case is an "OK" button on the preferences window.
However, since this is Beta software, when they learn how to include an "OK" button, the problem still may not be fixed. The final solution will require the uber advanced feature of a functioning "OK" button.
I recommend that everyone send Apple a bug report every day regarding this issue.

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user. Among the surprises:
- it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
- it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
- it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
-mail merge
-meaningful Applescript/Services support
-non-contiguous text selection
-ability to set defaul zoom
-ability to see comments while editing
-ability to print comments
-ability to read RTF files
-ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
These about about 90 other features are gone.
Then there are the bugs. Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers. Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system. Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!). Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

Determining which services are associated with which programs

In the Services Preferences, Services submenu, how does one determine which services are associated with which programs?

Danged if I know! I just took a guess and enabled the ones I wanted, then tried what came up to see which program launched to do it. Some are easy: "Copy to Tex-Edit Plus" will obviously use the program Tex-Edit Plus. But I have no idea which program owns "New Document Containing Selection" and since I want TextEdit to handle that sort of thing I unchecked it, and simply checked "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" because that's obviously TextEdit. I left "New Window with Selection" checked, and then tried it, and TextWrangler launched. OK, I do sometimes use it, so I left it checked. But it would be nice if it declared itself in the Service list so you could tell what program is going to do which thing. However, that is not Apple's fault--it is the fault of the application, someone just didn't bother to write a proper line for the system to display that would tell the user what application it is. That is probably because in the "old" Services menu items were arranged in folders by application, so there was no special need to have the service itself declare to whom it belonged. Perhaps this situation will change as applications are updated for Snow Leopard.
I happen to know that the Services are declared to the system by the application, and the place this comes from is the Info.plist of the application, which is inside the application bundle. You can open this and check the plist: the service will be listed in the NSServices section in the NSMenuItem default field. Not something most people would ever want to do, you have to open the bundle then open the plist with Property List Editor.
Meantime, I think trial and error is the only way to tell where the service is coming from. I would be delighted if someone knows otherwise.

I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. I had create new apple id, change my password, delete the icloud acc. But still I can not update my apps. I have many of red notifications on iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

Update it from the original Apple ID or delete and redownload the applications when signed into another one; the second option may require repurchasing them.

Control which events are synced with iPad?

I have iCloud set up on my Mac/iPad, and it is successfully syncing my calendar events.
However, I don't want minor recurring events that I have on my Mac calendar to be popping up alarms and cluttering up the calendar on my iPad.
How do I control which events are synced with the iPad?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could either make a calendar under "On My Mac" to take the events you do not want synced to iCloud.
Alternatively make a calendar under "iCloud" for them and uncheck it on the calendar list on your iPad.
Best wishes

You cannot.
Some people wish there was a way to print out a list of authorized computers that would look like "Suzy's laptop, Dad's Macbook, and the desktop we threw away last year." But there is no way to do so.
It is especially confusing, since a single machine may be using up multiple authorizations. Also, authorizations may be used up by machines that do not even exist any more.
If you are at the limit, you can use the Deauthorize All command, and then reauthorize just the ones you need.

My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.
