Widget options not saved

Since the STB update I cannot save changes to the options of a widget. Specifically, I load Weatherbug and it knows only one zip code. I hit Options and enter more zipcodes. Weatherbug now knows multiple zipcodes and works appropriately but if i exit the widget and immediately go back into it, only the first zipcode remains. I cannot make it save my changes.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
*do not clear the Cookies
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

PDF Setup Options not saving

I have been having trouble in Frame when I create a PDF (I think since Frame 9). Any time I tried to add or remove a paragraph tag to the Include Paragraphs it wouldn’t save my settings. This wasn’t a big deal at first. But when I started creating new manuals I started getting frustrated. Today I finally reached a point where I had to figure out what was going on. The first thing I did was notice that I didn’t have the most up-to date version of Frame. I’m all up-to-date now but it didn’t solve the problem.
The solution - For some reason it's taking the PDF setup information for the whole book from the first document. So what you have to do is open the first document and then Save As PDF (you have to open it, you can’t just select it and then Save As PDF). Set up everything the way you want the same as usual. Then once you save that you can then do Save As PDF for the whole book and it works. If you need to change a setting or change a paragraph tag, you have to open the first doc again and save it there. It won't keep your changes in the book, just the first doc.

Thanks for this post! I just had the same problem with FrameMaker 10, and it worked as you described.
Researching the matter, I discovered that while this behavior is undesirable, it's actually documented and works as designed! Chapter 13, page 464 of "Using FrameMaker 10" (framemaker_10_help.pdf) has the following note:
"In a book, the joboptions saved with the first file are applied to all files in the book. To get the desired results in the exported PDF file, open the first file. Then choose Format > Document > PDF Setup, adjust the settings, and click Set."
How about moving those settings into the book file where they belong?

Privacy option not saving correctly.

In the privacy options, why is it that when I chose the "only allow people in my contact list to contact me", not doing its job????
Either FIX IT or get rid of it because every time I open Skype, there`s all these "IM`s" waiting for me and then I`ve got to go and waste my time with having to remove them, very ANNOYING|!!!!

I'm not sure of what the logic behind this procedure, but actual responses from users who tried it confirm that it works (or at least this is something you can try while waiting for further responses from the experts).
Please switch your status to offline for at least a minute, then switch back to online. Then change your privacy settings to see if they will stick this time.
IF YOU FOUND OUR POST USEFUL THEN PLEASE GIVE "KUDOS". IF IT HELPED TO FIX YOUR ISSUE PLEASE MARK IT AS A "SOLUTION" TO HELP OTHERS. THANKS!

User Account Advanced Options Not Saving

I'm trying to either add an alias or change the account name of a user account in Server.app. Right click on a user and select Advanced Options. From there I add an alias then click OK. A spinner appears then disappears. No other indicators showing it saved. Press cancel and then go back in and all the fields are the way they were before I changed them. I have the latest Server.app installed.
Any one else run into this and have a workaround?
Thanks!

WorkGroup Manager will allow you to change the UID of a user.
Finder will allow the Admin to change the ownership of a folder, and then propagate that ownership to all sub-folders. I am nor certain whether Server [admin] will do that as well. I think it depends on your exact setup.
I think you could also log in as the new User, authenticate as Admin, and copy the files to the new User home (which may give them new-user ownership.

Autohide task bar option Not saved.

I go into the Taskbar properties and click the Autohide taskbar, click apply then click OK.
This works great for a while and the taskbar hides fine. Then sometime later it quits hiding, I go back into properties and autohide is no longer checked. So I Click it again, then click apply, then click lock taskbar then hit apply, then
hit OK.
each time after checking the autohide option I exit go back in and it has saved it that way and autohide works fine.
Then after some time it quits hiding again and I go back into the properties and autohide is once again unchecked.
This seems to be a different issue than what most people have which can be caused by the notifications of icons. I have already set those based on other answers but that doesn't work for my issue. Any ideas as I am stumped?

Hello LuvWhiteSand,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried the solution as T. Kujala mentioned?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
delete the value named 'Toolbars'.
In Task Manager, select 'File' -> 'New Task' -> type 'explorer' to restart
the shell.
If that doesn't do the trick, repeat deleting 'TaskbarWinXP' as well.
Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
Best regards,

Manual update option not saved

I have all my music on an external drive that is not always connected to my laptop. So I would like to manage my iPod manually. The problem is that everytime I open iTunes the manual option is not checked and my playlists get erased faster than you can say "stop doing that".
How do I enforce the manual option for all time?
80GB iPod Windows XP

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should be able to set your iPod to manual once you are connected:

IPod View Options Not Saved in iTunes

I just upgraded to 7.0.1 to see if it would fix this problem, but no dice. The view options for my 5G 80GB reset back to the factory settings each time I disconnect my iPod, or even if I restart iTunes and leave the iPod connected.
I'd like to have the browser up and have some of the other options changed, like showing track numbers and time. This is a setting that always stays the same with my previous iPod (4G 20GB). Anyone sles have this problem?

Sorry - I just posted a similar question, I didn't quite read your question carefully enough. I am having a similar problem - I keep having to restore my Ipod. If someone tells me how to check when I last updated my software, I could tell you if I upgraded to 7.01. Maybe that is the issue -
If anyone from APPLE is reading this - can you tell us if there are issues with the 7.01 upgrade in that the ITUNES software is not recognizing our IPODS anymore.
thanks,

Password save option not saving

I have Win 7 and am still getting used to stuff, I have tried run as administrator, run as user, disable master password, enable master password but nothing allows me to save my passwords into the password manager!
Help, this is getting frustrating

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

File Options not being saved

I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
Thanks much!

What version of Crystal are you using?
Are you a local PC Administrator also?
Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
Thank you
Don

SSMS not saving Query Options between sessions

When I run a SQL query I always want to
1. Include column headers when copying or saving the results
2. Display results in a separate tab
3. Switch to results tab after the query executes
So, I set these Query Options and click OK, but the next time I open SSMS it does not remember my previous choices...which makes me have to go in and set them FOR EVERY QUERY WINDOW? Is there a way to get SSMS to save my choices??
Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe the issue is that he is using these options and setting them but once he restarts, those settings are getting lost. I mentioned the registry key where these options are saved because it might be a permission issue (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL
Server Management Studio\XX_CONFIG)

[Solved] Synaptics options not being saved

When i manually set options in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf they aren't being used by the driver. The only way i have found to save settings is by changing them via synclient. The problem with this is that synclient doesn't save your options.
I made a script that sets my touchpad settings after gnome 3 kicks in, i've tried
running it from rc.local
and running the commands from ~/.xinitrc, before and after gnome 3 launches.
I never could get it to work, i did find out that synclient has to be run after x is started.
Can anyone help me out by either pointing out where synaptic pulls its settings or by showing me where the best place to run a startup script after x starts would be . Any help is much appreciated. Also it's almost 3am here so typos/logic not expected to be in tip-top shape.
tldr; touchpad settings won't save.

Yeah im using synclient and its not saving to 10-synaptics.conf like the article says it should.
Nvm, gnome 3 was setting its own options, had to disable that for 10-synaptics.conf to pick up.

Web Clip Widget Not Saving

I just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.6 (and then to 10.5.7 via Software Update). I tried to use the new Web Clip feature, to create a widget from part of a web page. Safari (v 3.2.3) has the scissors icon, and I am able to select a portion of a web page. When I click the Add button the clip appears in the Dashboard layer, and I can edit it, etc. But when I close the newly-created widget it simply disappears. It does not show up in the row of icons at the bottom of the (Dashboard) screen, nor does it show up in the "Manage Widgets" list--either before or after I close the widget.
The Web Clip widget (the one with the Safari icon that opens Safari if you click on that icon) is present, but I am unable to save a web clip as a new widget.
It has been a while since I added a widget from, for example, Apple's website. But I think I remember getting a message asking me if I wanted to save (or add, or some such word) the widget. I do not get this message when I try to create (and save) a web clip as a widget.
Apple's "help" says that widgets created from webclips stay ther until the user deletes them, but I am unable to get thim onto the list in the first place. Any suggestions?

The Mac Help is ambiguous: "A Web Clip widget remains in your dashboard until you remove it. If you remove a Web Clip widget, the only way to get it back is to create it again."
A "normal" widget shows up (when you press the + inside a circle at the lower left of the screen) in a line of widget icons at the bottom of the screen (as well as in the list you get by choosing "Manage Widgets..."). You may display the widget on the desktop or not, but the widget is not deleted if you dismiss it from the desktop.
This is not true of Web Clip widgets, at least on my Mac. A Web Clip widget does not show up in the Manage Widgets... list or in the line of icons at the bottom of the screen. And dismissing it from the desktop deletes it completely.
Is this what is supposed to happen?
