Ok. So you have or have not applied updates? 90% of the time OS X has issues saving passwords it's because of corrupted keychains. Run Keychain access and repair the login keychain. Worst case, delete the login keychain and let OS X create a new one the next time you have a password to save (be sure to note all your saved passwords, if necessary. > Now my Apple Pro app [Logic Pro 9] won't save settings,I have asked at all > other forums to no avail,does anyone here know of a way to get 10.6.8 to run > Apples Pro apps as they should run?

When in a hole, stop digging. The VERY first thing to do in a case like this is boot in safe mode and see if the problem persists. (hold the shift key down when booting) A lot of the time this will fix problems because this also rebuilds a number of caches that OSX uses. If this doesn't work, log in as a different user and see if the problem persists. If you don't have another user account on this system, go create one, and use it only for testing purposes. If the problem persists when run as the other user, then it's a system or software issue, if it doesn't, it's something in your user prefs. If it's a system or software problem, try re-installing the Logic software or re-applying the 10.6.8 Combo update. If the problem only occurs with your user account, get rid of all traces of the program in your user library directory. (the one in your Home directory); typically this is in the Preferences folder and sometimes the Application Support folder. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
