Windows not retaining settings after 10.4.11 update

Hello everyone,
I just updated my PowerBook G4/667 Titanium to Mac OS X 10.4.11 (from 10.4.1) and everything is working fine but there is one annoying problem. Every time I restart, when I open some of the windows on my computer, they do not retain their settings - settings like the list view and window size, for example. Some folders DO retain their settings when I open them and some don't (like the Applications folder and the Macintosh HD folder/window which I have to reset every time I restart).
I have to keep setting them to list view every time after a restart. How can I fix this so that they stay the same all the time? Does this have anything to do with the invisible .DS_store files? I don't understand why some windows retain their settings and why some don't.
I've repaired permissions numerous times. Cleared cache files. Tried setting the "global" view from the Finder > View > Show View Options to "All Windows". Tried everything I know.
Can someone please tell me what I can do to fix this?
Thanks so much,
Gerard

Hi Gerard, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Then reboot once more.

Nokia 6288 doesn't retain settings after reboot

Hi, i've a problem with a Nokia 6288 that after each reboot
does not retain settings regarding "Normal" profile and background. If i turn off the phone, when i turn it back on it reverts to blank backround and "nokia tune" ringtone and all other settings to default.
I already tried to reset it to factory default but had no luck.
Also tried reflashing firmware with nokia software updater but the problem still remains.
There is a way for "hard resetting" it to factory default?
Regards
Luca

Windows not remembering settings in MacBook Pro 15"

hey all,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" released in 2008. I have dual booting set up between Mac OS X.5.6 and Windows XP. I have what I'd consider a unique problem but may be someone else out there has had similar issues.
Every time I launch into Windows, *it does not remember any of my settings such as my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse and my bluetooth wireless rocketfish keyboard or to use my external 28 inch Hannspree monitor as my primary.* I don't care so much about windows not remembering my monitor preference but it would be nice every time I log into windows having my mouse and keyboard ready to go.
When I launch into OS X, it remembers everything, from the external keyboard and mouse to setting the dock and top bar to the external 28 inch monitor.
Any thoughts on how to get this to work in Windows. Is there some some application that can do this.
Thanks,
Doug

Is this what you've tried:
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

LR3 not retaining attributes after trip thru ext. editor

Unless I'm missing some setting somewhere, LR3 does not retain the image attributes (color label, star rating) on a new file created as a result of a trip thru an external editor, ie PS. LR2 did.
workflow:
in LR3, filter down to your (for example) 4 star photos.
select one, right click, select "edit in external editor". I pick Photoshop CS3 (I'm 100% DNG user).
I have "edit a copy with LR adjustments" selected, as well as "stack with original". These are the same settings and process I did with LR2.
Edit in PS. Save newly created .psd.
Go back to LR3. PSD is missing, because it didn't get marked as a 4-star (or color, or whatever other attribute you've filtered by). You'll only see the pre-edited DNG, with the stacking icon in the corner telling you it is 1 of 2, but the second one is not shown.
Unfilter the selection so you an see all photos. There you will find the just-created PSD as part of the just-created stack, but without the attributes that were set on the original DNG.
So the result of this is when working with a found set, choosing to externally edit photos has them dissapear when the editing is complete. You have to constantly turn off selection filtering and go find the new file and tag it with the attributes that should have been carried over -- like LR 2 did - and then turn the filtering back on to narrow down to the set you want.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
thanks-
-Matt

you can autosave XMP data. But at a penalty: everything you do is saved again and again during your editing with a speed penalty as a result.
catalogue settings/metadata/ turn on automatically write changes into xmp
Not that crazy are they? just some reading

Printing Presets Problem, Not Retaining Settings Assigned To A Preset.

Hi
I have a 10.5.8 client computer that is experiencing problems with saved printer presets not retaining the paper tray assigned to that preset. It works for other printers but not this one particular printer. I have tried the following.
1. Repair disk permissions.
2. Delete the troublesome printer presets and recreate them.
3. Reset printing system and re-add printers and recreate all printer presets.
4. Ran Onyx maintenance scripts, cleared caches, etc.
5. Re-applied 10.5.8 combo update.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi xenainoz
In SAP DMS Whatever document that are linked to an Object Such as PO, PR , Material, WBS element, Sales order Item cannot be printed directly.
Mean Suppose if you are Printing PO and want to Print also Documents linked to PO line items , this is not possible in standard SAP.You will have to do ABAP Enhancements.
Please check this link . hope you will get some idea.
When PO is Mailed to vendor the DIR Original should also go as addn attachm

Click on email not heard (sometimes) after 10.7.2 update

I've noticed that since I did the recent Lion update to 10.7.2 that when I'm in Mail (the new interface, not classic) that SOMETIMES when I click on a email in my message list that it does not pop into the view pane. Sometimes it is heard, other times I have to click a second time. It is a random thing. I've tried all different combinations of the Mail window being active and inactive as well as other possibilities and it stays random.
Of course if I double-click too fast it opens the mail in its own window (which I don't want... I do most of my mail reading in the view pane.)
I don't seem to be having problems with clicking in any other application (Firefox, etc.) and the Magic Mouse has new batteries.
I've rebuilt mailboxes and done repair permissions and have done a shutdown.
Has anyone seen a similar occurrence of clicks on mail not being heard in Mail since this update?

I have exactly the same problem...
See if
Mail does not respond to mouse clicks properly
Describes your issues...
It may be related to a corrupt preferences file, because one person on this discussion board seems to have fixed it by clearing his user related settings folders...

IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

Iphone 5s calendar not accept entries after ios 7.1 update

after ios 7.1 update the iphone 5s calendar not accept entries but will accept entries from sync with outlook connection via my MS desktop outlook

So, sometimes you discover a "fix" totally by accident. I tried the following and it's worked for me 100% of the time so far. Any entries I make using this have appearded on my iPhone and on any device where I view my calendar. Hope this helps others:
Open your calendar and then view it in the "month view";
Tap the hybrid view icon which is at the top to the left of the search icon at the top right of the screen; you'l see a list of the days activities at the the bottom of the screen.
Now, tap the "+" icon at the top to the right of the search icon. This will allow you to type in the event, time, date, etc that you want to enter.
Click "done" at the top right when finished. Now, you should see the event that you just entered at the bottom of the screen under the days activities. That should "stick" even if you close the calendar, or whatever. When I checked, it also showed up as it should on other devices. You can edit events, delete them, etc--it's worked for me.
I'm not sure why this worked--or what it's the only way to be able to enter an event since the move to iOS 7.1--but it's working for me--so why ask why??

TS1702 google calendar not working correctly after 8.0.2 update

IPAD screen inconsistant with finger comands, lags, calender events jump all over the place when begininng to enter event. minutes on the left of the page have ?? question marks, no + to add events. Also, I dont always have a volume icon when adjusting the volume. You can hear the sound going softer and louder but no indicator.
Ive shut device off, taken the calendar off the ipad and put it back on, (that fixed the ?? on the time side), cleaned the screen, turned gesture on and off. I book appoitments on this device and have been really frustrated since this update.

I have the same problem with Sprint LTE. It works fine when I'm on WiFi at work then I went out to lunch with my family and tried to show them a video and it wouldn't load. I thought it might just be YouTube but then I tried sending an iMessage to my brother and it wouldn't send until I got back onto WiFi at work. It didn't do this before I updated 8.0.2 but I'm still not sure if it's the iPhone update or just Sprint's network today.
