Is iCloud the only thing missing from System Preferences?
If, while in System Preferences, you click View -> Customize does it show up then?

Icon missing from System Preference on MacBook Pro. Please Help

The icon for my mail, contacts and calendars is no longer under my System Preferences. Can someone help me get it back? Thanks.

If you're running the OS version in your profile, you never had that icon. Assuming the profile is wrong, do as follows.
Select
View ▹ Customize...
from the System Preferences menu bar. If the missing icon appears, check the box next to it, or click Show All. Then click Done.

Energy Saver Options Tab missing from System Preferences Pance

Recently I upgraded with Combo Update Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my Mac Pro and now I find that I have no Options Tab in the Energy Saver Pane of System Preferences. All the options that used to be available there cannot now be accessed. Sleep\Wake is functioning fine, and I can't remember what settings I had or even used. It has not been critical for me so I rarely check these options. It is possible that the tab disappeared when I applied the latest Security Update a few days ago - I'm not sure. Since the big weekend storm here I want to use the automatic restart after power failure feature that I think lived behind that tab. Thanks for any help.

I should say that I rarely, if ever, use the lower missing options mentioned above. If I am accessing the Mac Pro from my other local computers I just wake up the Mac Pro. And I can't ever remember wanting my computer to restart after a power failure. If we have a power failure in this area, it is likely to come back on and then just as suddenly go off again. Not a good thing, I would imagine, for delicate electronics. Usually I wait 30 minutes to an hour after the power resumes in my home before powering up any electronic equipment.
I do wonder why the options disappeared though.

Icloud icon Missing from system preferences

Why can I not find my icloud icon in system preferences? Help!!!

Because you're running Snow Leopard (10.6.8 as noted in your profile)?
You must upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion to 'get' iCloud. Or just wait until Mavericks is released later this fall. You can directly upgrade now to Mountain Lion, if your system has the right specifications -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5444 - or wait for Mavericks. Your call. Mountain Lion is $20 and available from the Mac App Store: Apple hasn't announced a price for Mavericks.
Good luck,
Clinton

Why is the padlock missing from System Preferences, App Store?

I noticed that System Preferences, App Store no longer shows a padlock at the lower left hand corner, yet other System Preference windows show the padlock. Why is that? Is there a way to restore the padlock? I have already tried "repairing" my install and the padlock did not come back. Thank you.

This will answer everyone of y'all, why some have it and why some don't.
System Preferences---> Security & Privacy---> (unlock the PadLock)---> Advance---> checkmark the "Require an administrator password to access system-wide preferences."
Before I checked that, I had the same set up as FoxFifth. Where App Store, Time Machine and others did not have the PadLock. However, after checking it. The App Store and Time Machine did have a PadLock.

File Sharing Missing from System Preferences Sharing

Hello, I am running MAC OSX Server 10.5.8. When I open System Preferences and click on Sharing I do not see the option to enable File Sharing. What must I do to get that to show up in the list? Right now my list looks like this...
__ DVD or CD Sharing
__ Screen Sharing
__ Remote Login
__ Remote Management
__ Remote Apple Events
__ Bluetooth Sharing
That's it. No File Sharing and everything I have searched to this point makes me believe it should be there.
Also, I have enabled AFP, NFS, SMP in the Server Admin. I have also turned off Firewall just to see what happened. Nothing.
Thanks for your help.

Text missing from system preferences permissions window

I recently changed the short name on a 2009 (I think) Mac running OS 10.6.3. Everything transfered over fine, but when I went to disable the root user, the window asking the username and password appears completely blank (see picture below).
It's only happening with one user and only within systems preferences. I can select the different fields, but the text is not visible. However, I have been able to enter the information and proceed to unlocking the area.
If anyone out there knows how to fix this, your help and knowledge will be much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Casey

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

Bluetooth vanished from system preferences

Today my system seems to have forgotten that it has bluetooth hardware. The OS doesn't see it. In fact, the bluetooth panel has vanished from system preferences.
So far I've...
reset the PRAM
reset the SMC
tried to delete com.apple.bluetooth.??? (but it wasn't there)
deleted com.apple.preferencepane.cache
No luck - stil no BT.
What should I try next?
system: 2010 mbp 15" i7 2.66 with hi-res anti-glare, running 10.8.2
Thanks a lot for your wisdom...

Has the black barrel by the hinge of the LCD been damaged or exposed to liquid recently?
Bluetooth is not intergrated, just a chip swap. Sadly, its in barrel

Can't load Network Settings from System Preferences

For some reason I can't load Network Settings from System Preferences anymore - it just stalls with the bar showing "Loading Network" and doing nothing. This is happening in conjunction with a new inability to connect to a network printer - it won't show up on the list of printers, even when I manually enter the IP address. Something is obviously mucked up - can anyone tell me what it might be & how I can fix it? Thanks!

I was able to fix this myself by using one of the techniques suggested here for a different problem. Basically I went into Library/Preferences/System Configuration and deleted networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist & com.apple.nat.plist. All were rebuilt when I restarted and went to System Preferences/Network and I was able to load the Network Settings. This didn't fix the problem with my printer, but at least it got the settings up.

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

I cant't verify my icloud account, never received verification email, i did requested it from system preference menu

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

HT4901 iCloud app can't be launched from system preferences.

iCloud app can't be launched from system preferences and screens an error to be reported to Apple:
Process:         System Preferences [408]
Path:            /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences
Identifier:      com.apple.systempreferences
Version:         11.0 (11.0)
Build Info:      SystemPrefsApp-214009000000000~8

Parent Process: launchd [134]
The rest of apps can be openned but not iCloud. I have tried to log in into iCloud from the web and my iPhone and it works fine.
Any help on how to solve this problem from the macbook?
Thanks

Does it open in the guest user? If it's not enabled, you can do it from the apple >> system preferences >> users and groups. Open the lock, select the guest user account and check the box to allow logging into it.

Bluetooth disappeared from system preferences and menu bar...

My bluetooth preferences disappearead from system preferences as well as the menu bar. I discovered this because my bluetooth mighty mouse stopped working. I tried replacing the batteries but nothing happened. I used my trackpad to click on the bluetooth icon on my menu bar and told it to connect to my mouse, which was there in the list. I got the swirling ball and so restarted my computer, when it came back, bluetooth was gone from the menu bar and system preferences, so now I don't know how to reconnect my mouse.
I tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM as recommended by another post, I tried it twice as the instructions outline, but I haven't had any success.
I have tried doing spotlight for bluetooth in system preferences, this takes me to keyboard and mouse, then I get this message:
"The Bluetooth tab of Keyboard & Mouse preferences is hidden because you don't have a Bluetooth module installed or attached to your computer."
When I do a spotlight on the entire system, I get a result for bluetooth in system preferences, when I click on that, I get this message:
"You cannot open “Bluetooth” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. You might need to connect a device to your computer to see this preferences pane."
But, the irony is, that I can't connect a bluetooth device without this option in preferences. Also, in utilities, I remember that there used to be a bluetooth setup assistant, and that is not longer there.
I realize other threads have come up on this, but I haven't found anything besides deleting the plist, restarting, and resetting the PRAM and NVRAM (whatever that is). I've tried this but haven't been successful so I'm looking for more ideas.

HI Daniel,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
~/Library/Caches.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, download and install the 10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
It's ok to do this even though you are already running 10.5.8.
Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. I already tried to rebuild the iPhoto Library (all the possible options) and tried to update teh version from 9.4.3 to 9.5 but the problem still persists: is there a way to delete this slideshow without selecting it ? How can I solve the problem, please?
Kind Regards

Can you restore your iPhoto Library from a backup version, that was created before you added the slideshow?
If not, have you tried to rebuild the slideshow with iPhoto Library Manager?
As described by Terence Devlin here: Re: iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.
