Window views not staying put

I open a window and set for Icon View, set the size etc., then check Always Open In Icon View (in this example), I reboot and the icon size is bigger or sometimes it's in list view!
Repaired permissions, ran Cocktail, dumped the finder prefs, still no joy.
This is making me crazy. What am I missing? Anybody?
TIA,
Geoff

I"m sorry, what do you mean by, "nuke the thing"?
Try using a different user account and see if it still happens.
System Preferences/Accounts Click the gold icon lock, type in your admin password. Click the + and create a new account, name it: Test Now login to that account and see if your Finder preferences accepts the Icon view preference. If this works, then the issue is isolated to your Home Folder only, not the entire system.
One thing that might help... get Onyx. It's a free disk utility available here;
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html DO NOT download the beta version!
Run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts once a week, you can also Repair Permissions and check the S.M.A.R.T. status with Onyx.
I just thought of another idea... go here to the AppleScript Forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724 Start a new topic and explain exactly what you want to do. Hopefully an AppleScript guru has a fix for you!!! Don't give up!

Album view not staying put...

After updating my Touch to the new 1.1.4, the album view will reset to the top of the list when moving in and out of the list to view other items. That view use to stay where you last were when you moved to other pages, now it won't on mine. This problem has cropped up in different update versions. Some fixed them while others brought it back.
Anyone else have this problem?

On my ipod touch, if I pick an album to view its contents and then go back to the album list, the list won't reset. If I pick another view such as artists or genres, then when I pick the album view again, it resets to the top of the list. I have version 1.1.4

CS6 synchronize window not staying put

Most frustratingly the CS6 synchronize window is not staying where its put. This used to work just fine in CS5. I tried saving the screen layout while it's open as well. Each time it comes up in some default position and I have to move across monitors and expand the window where I want it to sit. Anybody else having the same issue? Any solutions? Can you please fix this Adobe in the next release? Thank You.

I haven't made the switch to CS6 yet, so I don't have any experience to add either way, sorry.
As far as getting the info to someone within Adobe that could make a difference if it's a bug in CS6 (and not just some kind of conflict on your machine), make sure to report your bug here:

For URGENT questions go right to https://support.oracle.com and file a Prio 1 SR with Oracle Support. For everything else I don't see why your question is more urgent then others.

Windows Will Not Stay Selected

Menu bar app windows, as well as other windows will not stay selected. To type on some of these windows, I have to click on the window after every letter or else it will become unselected.

vanborki, welcome to the forum,
it sounds as though you have a corrupted userinit.exe file as safe mode also insn't working. Have you also tried last known working configuration? You could try replacing the file, google can help here.
Worst case is that you have caught some spyware, this will not only have corrupted your userinit.exe file, but also changed the registry entries. There are methods of fixing this using BartPE boot discs.
Your drive will be accessable allowing you to attach it to another system and copy your important files. A system recovery may be the easiest option to get your ThinkPad up and running again.

Content Viewer not staying logged in

Since the last update, many of us in our office having been having problems with content viewer (iPad) not staying logged in. Its to the point where we are loggin in 10 times a day. Tried everything I can thing of, deleting all, reinstalling.. etc, with no luck. Any ideas out there?

Scratch this, just saw this... Re: ACV disconnection

Footer not staying put

I am not an expert at CSS, and I am sure that I have made a mess of things. My footer is as big as a browser window, but not as big as the webpage. I hope that makes sense? If I have a small little window open and scroll to the right to see the entire webpage the footer does not cover the entire bottom. If I just make the window bigger without scrolling there is no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

fixed it! I had to set the minimum width of the footer at least as wide as the body.

IOS 8 rearrange activities not staying put

When I rearrange the Activities order on the iPhone 6, they don't stay in the same order after I quit app. This happens in every app (Safari, Photos, etc).
Any idea why the order is not staying in memory?

Okay my IT Director and I had the same problem, On your DC go to AD-Users and Computers, go to the properties of the name, in the security tab click on advance button on the bottom. In advance the button on the bottom should say disable inheritance. If it says enable inheritance, then click on enable. Once I did this all my exchange emails came pouring in. Hope this helps anybody. Problem solved

Sound Input will not stay put!

Hi, if i go to
System Preferences>Sound>
and change the input level to my desired choice for my built in mic on my imac g5 isight, well, the level will not stay the same.
I constantly use Ichat, and use the audio chat feature with a few friends.
And it bugs me cause I have to go to change my preferences every single time.
Is there a cure for this.
I would trash the sound prefereces p.list , but im not sure which one it is.
Anyone , can you shed some light on , a
small issue, but important to me.
thanks

I will need to select character by character with Hanin, while with Zhuyin, the system will render suggestions.
This page has some info on Hanin that may be helpful in doing more characters at once:
http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/tcim_x4.html#Hanin
As for the problem with the Zhuyin IM, I think it would be best to ask on the chinese-mac list and see if anyone there has run into this and found a fix:

Icons not staying put in folder windows

Just recently if I rearrange the icons in a folder window after I do a restart the icons reaarange themselves and the folder window resizes back to a previous size and arrangement - it's driving me mad! Do I need to dump some preference file or clear some cache or the like - if so where would I find said preference or cache?

Information about the properties of a particular window, such as the view, icon size and arrangement, window size, and so on, are stored in an invisible file in every folder that has been opened. The file is named .DS_Store, the simplest way to see this is to get one of the utilities, such as TinkerTool, which allows you to see invisibles, or to use the list command in Terminal:
ls -al /
hit the retrun key, and it will show all the files and folders at the root level of the drive. It sounds like the .DS_Store file is not being written to. You could try trashing it. If you use Terminal you would type:
rm /.DS_Store
hit return, and it will delete the .DS_Store file for the root level of the drive. Open the window and size and arrange to your tastes, then close the window. Make sure the window is closed when you shutdown. You can verify that a new .DS_Store file was created by using the list command again and check the date. Thus I just trashed mine, then opened and reset stuff and ran the list command:
-bash:~francine$ ls -al /
total 11979
drwxrwxr-t 41 root admin 1496 Feb 5 12:12 .
drwxrwxr-t 41 root admin 1496 Feb 5 12:12 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 francine admin 12292 Feb 5 12:13 .DS_Store
----more stuff----
You see that a new .DS_Store file was created today at 12:13.

Palm Desktop entry will not stay put

Recent change, not sure why. Every entry or edit in the Palm Desktop Calendar drops into the previous day (ie: entry into Friday whe completed fall into thursday). I must drag it on to the day after the entry I want for it to stay where it belongs. I have used the Desktop for 3-4 years and never saw this before. Any suggestions?

Hello!
Please make sure your PC does have the daylight savings update installed on your PC, ususally windows updates or macintosh updates takes care of this. Also for your device, please go to www.palm.com/dstpalm to see if you need the DST updater for your PDA. Seems like the symptoms your describing is fitting the bill.

Mixer window won't stay put w multiple monitors/screen sets

so i have 4 monitors, 3 of which are together and 1 off in another area for other stuff. this is done w 2 standard apple video (Nvivia GT120) cards and a few monitors. the middle one has a higher res than the others but not so much to need the dual dvi.
i want to display the mixer window across all 3 of my main monitors for a full overview in that particular screenset.
the PROBLEM here is that as soon as i switch to another screenset or even select that same screen set while viewing it, the mixer window snaps to allignment w the center monitor so that the left monitor has nothing on it and the right half of the mixer window has fallen off the right screen.
it works just fine when i only spread the mixer across two monitors. but even then sometimes it alligns to the center monitor after while.
is there some setting im missing here?
thanks!

Awe crap! Sorry for the repost. I was looking at the recent activity screen n didn't see my post from earlier today so I thought it didn't get posted. My bad. Apple forum newbie mistake.
But still.. What gives?

Multiple Computer Monitor Screensets Not Staying Put

I've created 7 screensets, each distributing various windows onto different computer monitors (I have 3 monitors and a lcd tv attached to my computer) to speed my workflow. Each time I open my LPX file, all the open windows of each screenset are stacked top of each other on my main screen, instead of where I put them. I've tried locking them which keeps them in place until I reboot the computer, then they're all in stacked in the main window again.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I've tried reinstalling LPX, trashing the pref file, but no luck, the problem persists.
I am currently trying to use 10.0.3, but the problem has been there since I updated to X when it was released. I still have 9 on my computer and it is working fine. I had no problems with this in any previous logic version until now. Thanks.

I did a fresh install of Mav and LPX on an external HD and booted from it... to test out the combination and so far, so good. No major issues of note.. A few niggling OS X bugs that I can work around, (not related to LPX and it's use I might add.. ) but such minor bugs are not unusual with a new OS version... All my external hardware (Motus) work fine with the current, latest drivers although Motu do have a new beta driver specifically for Mav ready to go....but so far, I haven't come across anything of issue with the current ML drivers... All my plugins are working just fine too.
As for my main working rig... Whenever there is a major upgrade to the OS I always install from scratch... and even though I could simply upgrade the previous OS to the new one.. I have found through bad experiences in the past, that it is better just to start again from fresh to minimize issues.... I keep my major sample libraries on a separate HD so at least i don't have to reinstall those.... just the plugins like Kontakt and 3rd party FX and SIs...... It can take a couple of days to achieve all this (I have all the current versions of plugin installers stored on another external HD ready to install from which speeds things up a great deal) but for me, the time spent to do it this way, seems to always pay off in terms of the lack of issues going forward.
I do upgrade one of my test rigs rather than start from scratch.. just to see what happens in case there are any issues related to doing so, that my clients might face.... but I will only be doing that when the App Store version is actually released... as even though i don't expect any changes to be made to the Gold master version of Mav at this stage... the installer itself can change so I wait until it is released to the public... and use that version, just in case.
So, I haven't come across anything 'bad' using Mav and LPX..... and some things.. like the way Mav handles multiple monitors.. are greatly improved for sure...Overall performance in both LPX and other OS X apps seems snappier under Mav... in particular those apps that made heavy demands on the graphics sub routines. Also, after waiting for almost two years now.. a long standing bug regarding the use of the Thunderbolt to FW adaptor and a problem when the display goes to sleep, has finally been fixed resulting is stable connections to my FW800 Ext HDs and FW400 Ultralites.. which for me is a real bonus and benefit of using Mav!

My finder home window will not stay the way I set it

How do I keep my Finder window opening the way I leave it? Everytime I reboot or use folders in finder window my home view changes from icon to list or size changes. I reset it and it stays for awhile then changes to other view.

You will have to change the Home Page to the page your want to display. In order to do so, follow the steps below:
* Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
* Go to the General tab;
* Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
Also, make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).
Hope this helps!
