I am having a number of different symptoms, none of them very bad, but collected together they are very annoying, and I am wondering if they are all somehow related to some problem with the way OSX is saving (or not saving) my preferences, or writing permissions, or something. Any ideas or fixes would be very much appreciated. I already repaired permissions.
Whenever I open iTunes, I get a message saying "The volume is turned all the way down." Every single time. Doesn't matter where the volume was when I closed iTunes the last time. I always check the "Do not show this warning again" and say OK, but when I open up iTunes again, it's the same thing.
I have a few applications that don't work with Lion, so I removed them from the dock. When I restart, they are back in the dock.
I have changed the mouse scroll direction preference several times. Whenever I restart, the direction switches back.
I have changed the preferences in Finder to always show all files in the "list" view. Whenever I restart, it switches back to icon view.
Also, Preview and TextEdit no longer work at all.
There might be other things I'm forgetting. I just can't escape the feeling that all of these things are related. Any ideas or fixes?
Thanks again for any help.
