Why do my Notification Centre widgets keep rearranging themselves after each restart?

Hi,
I've been using Yosemite for a while and I'm pretty happy with it, but recently, the Notification Centre widgets keep changing their order. This is quite annoying when you think you know where to look for something, only to realise your Mac has other ideas.
Please could anyone advise why the order of my widgets keeps changing each time I restart my machine?
Many thanks for any support you can give me.
Best regards,
Zephyyr

  • Why do my apps in Launchpad keep rearranging themselves and how do I fix the problem?

    I have a variety of apps in Launchpad and I have them arranged just how I like them but then I shut down my MacBook Pro at the end of the day and the next day my apps are in completely different locations. It is really quite annoying to have to rearrange them manually after I boot up my Mac. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the problem? Thanks

    Keyboard and mouse preferences are stored in the following two plists:

  • Sticky Keys keeps turning off after every restart

    the Sticky Keys option in the universal access prefs pane keeps turning off after every restart. how can i fix this?

    It seems to be a common problem in the OS that when you restarts some of the settings get reset. For me it happens with the screeen dimming before sleep and the double click using 2 fingers and maybe others that I don't know about. I am hoping that its fixed in 10.4.7 which should be out within a week or so.

  • Notifications in yosemite keep resetting themselves

    Having upgraded to Yosemite I changed some of the notifications only to find when I rebooted they changed back to the post upgrade status.  So I reset them again when I rebooted they changed back to the post upgrade status and so on and so forth!  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
    Thanks
    Duncan

    Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
    1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
    2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
    3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
    4. Next, open the Terminal application.
      Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
    cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
    rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
    killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
    5. Close the Terminal app.
    6. Restart your computer.
    The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

  • Safari 5 Top Sites Rearranging Themselves after Quitting

    Hello, all.
    The thread title sort of says it all. Since upgrading to 10.6.4 and/or Safari 5, my Top Sites will rearrange themselves every time I restart Safari. Specifically, two sites are removed from Top Sites and I have to manually add them again.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on fixing it?

    Greetings,
    Have you tried this:
    Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>TCP/IP.
    In the DNS Server window, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
    Next, do these things in order:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then repair permissions and restart Safari and see if the problem remains.

  • Why does iTunes on my iPhone keep rewinding songs after pausing?

    If I pause iTunes on my iPhone by either removing my headphone jack or pressing pause, if I then restart after about an hour later, the music jumps backwards several songs that have just been played. The longer I leave it, the more songs it rewinds. I find this very frustrating !!

    Make sure you're selecting the iPod in the left-hand column, and then clicking the Settings column. It should be the second line under "Options" .. I believe it reads "Only Update Checked Songs."

  • HT4623 Why isn't it updating? Keeps saying error after about an hour into updating.

    Will not let me update my operating system I've tried through my phone and computer. I even restarted my phone twice.

    it could be the servers, sometimes when too many people are downloading it can cause errors at times, try again tomorrow via the iphone in a strong wifi environment

  • Apps / Icons Rearrange themselves after sync

    This has happened more than once and it is getting quite frustrating. I have over 80 apps and I like to have them organized by screen all "card games", "internet links", "gym", etc on one screen. It's getting to the point however that I don't want to sync my phone since it shuffles the order of the icons on ALL screens across all screens - IE. an app that was on the 10th screen may now be on the first screen. Shouldn't it keep this information when it SYNCs the phone? Do I need to click something on to have it keep my custom icon arrangement?

    Hi Kit,
    What version of iTunes and iPhone software are you using?
    You can check the version of the iPhone software by tapping Settings> General> About.
    You can check the version of iTunes by clicking iTunes(near the Apple)> About iTunes.
    If you haven't already updated to the latest software available, go ahead and update to iTunes 8.1.1 and iPhone software 2.2.1.
    If the iPhone and iTunes are already updated try resetting the iPhone. Just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons on the iPhone until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    If the issue persists after updating iTunes and the iPhone, try restoring the it. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

  • My iPad 4 keeps freezing even after I restart it, and close all the apps. What can I do to keep this from happening?

    My iPad keeps crashing, and i don't know what to do. I've tried restarting it, closing all of the apps, and deleting apps, but this problem persists. What do I do?

    Hello ingco,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken and any other steps you have already taken):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Applications rearranging themselves after reset

    OK here's a new one...for me anyway....  About 2 weeks ago I noticed apps on my 2nd and 3rd pages would now appear on the first page after a reset of my VZW Pre Plus.  Things like Mobile Hotspot and Google Maps that have stayed put for months.  I would move them back only to see them wind up back on page one later.  This was before 1.4.5.1 and is still happening after the update.
    Is this happening to anyone else?  Does my Pre Plus need to see the Doctor?
    Thanks in advance for any and all help!
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)

    First thing to do is boot into safe mode and see what happens. If it's OK then look for a third-party startup item.
    Next try creating a new user account then logging into that account. If the problem ceases then you are probably looking for a login item.
    Applications don't just start up on their own so there must be something installed that's doing the deed.

  • Applications keep relaunching themselves after quit

    Hi - wonder if someone can help. On one of my iMacs, some apps automatically relaunch themselves after I've quit them (this is nothing to do with restarting). I quit again, they relaunch. Multiple times. Then after a while, sometimes the quitting takes, and they don't relaunch. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Michael

    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, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why does firefox 12 resets personal setting to true at each restart ?

    Hello,
    network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k setting is reset at each startup. This the only one that make problem.
    More generally, even when set as false, protocole ed2k is not recognized (no program associed, and not asking for selecting one).
