Vanishing ice Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I have some interesting issues on preferences settings on my uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4. I checked the "Show Airport status in menu bar" option in Network preference and enabled Traditional Chinese input in International preference. It is pretty strange that those settings would be reset and disabled every time I restart my machine. Any one knows the fix for these issues. Thanks!

fishyeah Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I experienced similar problems. Changes to System Preferences are often reset after reboot. Sometimes when I try persistently, the changes finally got kept. I found sometimes restore to system default (if you changed setting before) for a while then change to desired setting, and the new setting may be kept. Any ideas??? PS - I installed JaS 10.4.8 and updated to 10.4.10.

Threepwood Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I always have to uncheck "play interface sounds", that setting is never saved.

Vanishing ice Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Just one last attempt to get a feasible solution. Will Jas work better regarding this issue?

CoolBits Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 You need to repair permissions with disk utility... Probably there are some wrong permissions on /Library/Preferences folder and system is unable to save normaly...

Vanishing ice Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 So, what would be the correct permissions for setting the preferences files? Thank you in advance.

CoolBits Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Open Disk Utility.app (located in /Applications/Utilities ) click on your root disk and then click on repair permissions button...

Vanishing ice Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Doesn't work still. I tried changing the permissions of some preference files with the root account. However, it seems that even the root user can't change the permission of some preference files. How come? I thought root user can change anything.

Synaesthesia Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have some strange bugs, like when I reboot, frequently the wallpaper changes, the sounds get turned back on (like threepwood), and airport doesn't work. Nothing serious, but I also wonder why it happens... Then again, I've installed 10.4.7, updated twice and transferred programs from a ppc mac via firewire, so I'm not surprised OS X is a bit messed up. I'm still super happy with it!!!

maserluv Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi guys, I have managed to solve the problem. What I did is to copy from Jas 10.4.8 DVD 1. /library/preferences/systemconfiguration/preferences.plist 2. /system/library/preferences/systemconfiguration/preferences.plist to my hackintosh, repair disk & re-start. The setting STAY!!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58354-some-preferences-settings-reset-after-restart/#findComment-424868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
