  1. Hello Everyone, After a morning of hunting around the Internet, I have found what I believe to be a suitable fix for my own problem -- and it appears that Alfred 2 has less to do with the problem than I had thought. In fact, it appears that when migrating from older versions of OSX to Yosemite, the Permissions go a little wonky. Ultimately, I found this thread. While the user Linc Davis details an elaborate way of fixing permissions in Yosemite, another user had suggested to boot in Recovery Mode via Command (⌘)-R and then run Repair Permissions via Disk Utility. Because this seemed like the easier option, I decided to try this *first* to see if it would work. And it has for me. Now I can log into both User accounts and use Alfred with the saved preferences. So it appears to me to be maybe a Yosemite--or upgrade path from older osx TO Yosemite--problem here, and not an Alfred problem. Alfred 2 is awesome !! kindest regards, Jean-Loup
  2. Hello, I would like to echo everyone with a *similar* problem. I have just updated my macbook pro (late 2012) from OSX 10.8.5 to 10.10.2 today. I was appalled by the new Spotlight and so I quickly found Alfred after reading a few articles on the Internet. Initially I was having the same preference woes, until I did a disk permissions check and repair with Disk Utility. Since then, my preferences are working. My persisting problem is that while the preferences *are* being saved on the **principal login account** (administrator privileges), they are *not* being saved on my secondary login account (equally with administrator privileges). Unfortunately for me, where I need Alfred the **most** is on this second login user. I tried finding all the Alfred program files on the principal user account, using AppDelete, and then copying them into the local file structure of my secondary user account, but that doesn't fix the issue either. Primary user account : works like a charm -- this is soo much better than the new Spotlight ! Secondary user account : can't save the prefs!! I can change them and use Alfred durring a session, but once I Log Out or Restart, then the next time I Log In, Alfred has reseted itself. And of course, Yes, I also ran disk permissions on the secondary user login account too, but that didn't work (as it did when I ran it on the primary user login account). running 10.10.2 with Alfred v2.6(374)
