System Preferences: Could not load Keyboard and Mouse

Hi all, so after inadvertently reverting my Keyboard and Mouse PreferencePane to v3.0 (I'm currently on 10.4.11), my keyboard shortcuts are not being saved. I've tried countless ways to put the current version, 3.2, back into the PreferencePanes folder, repaired permissions and trashed the systempreferences.plist, but every time I open Sys Prefs again, Keyboard and Mouse cannot be loaded. I've tried installing the Pane using Pacifist which results in the same problem (using the 10.4.11 single, ie not combo update) and installing the single 10.4.11 update works, creating Keyboard and Mouse 3.2, but this Pane still cannot be loaded. If anyone has any idea how to make 3.2 work with the rest of my system- possibly with something related to Extensions? that's what started this problem- I would be extremely grateful.

Hi endingstart, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Use Disk Utility to Verify the HD first, then it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

How can i solve "could not load language and text preference "

how can i solve " could not load language and text preference ".. help everyone...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT1557 I have lion installed on my mac. My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences, will not load. Everything else, seems to be okay. Any suggestions?

I have Lion installed on my mac. My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences will not load. I have to Force close it, after it's been open. I know that I
can change my desktop pic, by clicking "change my desktop, but I would like to understand what made it freeze up like that. All I get is that thing that looks like a piece of candy. From there, it does nothing. The rest of the system preferences work fine. It's like its caught in a loop of some kind. I would appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks.

Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

Hi,
I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
does anyone have similar problem with me?

I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
Problem: After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked. I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
Cause: WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
Resolution: I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it. The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media". This does more than just download drivers. It creates a file called "autoattended.xml". This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download. Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
NOTE: I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive. Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

New Mac Pro does not include Keyboard and mouse

I had not noticed and forgive me if it's already been raised, but I think it's a low blow that Apple is charging if you want a keyboard and mouse with the new Mac Pro's. Sorry but in my opinion this is the height of cheapness. C'mon Apple every desktop Mac I have bought (mac user since 1991) has come with a keyboard and mouse. Does it really affect your bottom line so much to include these? I have always thought of Apple as a class act, thinking of the extras and thoughtful customer service. While this is not a deal breaker for me it sure gives me pause.... Sad.

Apple has almost always charged on the Pro machines the keyboard and mouse. Pros tend to want to customize what keyboard and mouse they use more often than people with "consumer machines."
If you go to http://www.archive.org/ you'll find that to be the case.

Distributed system manager-could not load sysmanui.dll

Hi all,
Whenever I try to deploy variables in DSC, it displays "could not load sysmanui.dll file".
I checked the location "program files>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW11>>shared" and found it was there.
I am using evaluation version of DSC but LV is licensed.
Any suggestion for correcting the error is appreciated.
Thanks.

Did someone find a solution to this problem? Whenever I tried to open the DSM I get an error message, screenshots below.

Could not load desktop and screensaver preferences pane

That is the message that I have been getting when I try to load this pane (and only this pane). This has been going on ever since I tried to change my desktop photo a couple of days ago. The desktop is now a blank blue, showing neither the old photo nor the new. I have restarted the computer (13" MacBook Retina running 10.1.1), implemented the fixes suggested in the archives, including deleting com.apple.screensaver.plist and some others, used Disk Utility to repair permissions, and finally reinstalled Yosemite, all to no avail. That last is particularly puzzling—unless when you download and "install" the current OS when your OS is already current, the installer notes this fact and actually does nothing to the old installation. I note that in the second phase of installation, after I got a progress bar indicating that 7 minutes remained, it finished in a minute or less (did it skip the actual installation process because it saw that the OS was current?) and presented me with exactly the same windows that were open when I launched the OS X installer. Clearly some part of the machine state was carried over from the previous session to the post-install session, and I infer that a fault in the state of the OS was preserved as well, leaving the preferences pane unable to load.
What's the problem?
Does it have a simple fix?
If not, can I fix it with a true reinstallation of the OS?
Can I accomplish this without reformatting my drive or otherwise losing the good stuff that's on the drive?
Thanks!
Howard

System preferences will not load

Hello, I am new to all of this and my expert is traveling. I read through this forum and saw some others had problems with system preferences. My problem is that I can not get system preferences to load when I click on it. I have tried the icon in the dock, the item in the blue Apple menu and even in the applications folder. When I click on any of these, nothing happens. This problem just started. I have not loaded any new software or updates in quite some time. Any ideas about how I can solve this problem? I am using a Powerbook G4 with Mac OS 10.4.9. Thank you!

"/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences: launch failed with error code -2857 (cfragCFragRsrcErr) for application /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences\n"
Wow, that's bizarre. "cfragCFragRsrcErr" means that the 'cfrg' resource could not be loaded, but that makes no sense whatsoever. Well, it makes sense in that System Preferences.app isn't a Code Fragment Manager application, but a native Mach-O executable. (Applications in OS 9 and prior used the "Code Fragment Manager" executable format, which involved a single file executable that had both a resource fork and a data fork. See this image for an example. In the resource fork would be the 'cfrg' resource which would define the various sections of executable code found in the data fork of the executable.)
Apple hasn't created any CFM applications in years; as you could see, I had to dig up Microsoft Word to find an example of that format. Instead, in OS X, most applications aren't single "flat" files, but are bundles or packages, which appear as a single file, but are a folder which contains the many individual files that make up the app.
It's a mystery to me why you'd be getting that kind of an error on an application that's not CFM. It would help if you ran the two commands I gave earlier and post the output you get. you can copy and paste one line at a time into the Terminal application and hit return.
<pre>
ls -la "/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences"
file "/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences"</pre>
The first command is attempting to get information about the executable file, the second command attempts to look at the internal contents of the file and see if it matches a known recognized type of file. I get the following:
MacBookPro:~ mdouma46$ ls -la "/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences"

System Preferences - Network Not Loading

Hi,
I've a OS X 10.6.2 for a week now, and my Network Preference Pane wouldn't load all of a sudden. The last time I changeed it was the other day where I removed some wireless networks.
When I load the network pref pane, it just says "Loading Network..."
I created another user to check if it's just my user account, but it has the same problem too. So I would think it's a system-wide setting that went wrong.
My console log has the following whenever I try to open the pref pane:
11/24/09 11:05:52 AM System Preferences[1586] * Assertion failure in -[NSMenuItem initWithTitle:action:keyEquivalent:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1038.25/Menus.subproj/NSMenuItem.m:270
11/24/09 11:05:52 AM System Preferences[1586] Invalid parameter not satisfying: aString != nil
Must be a setting in the plist, I just don't know which one, and how do I get that plist back without a time machine backup.
Please help, I've been all around the web and the discussions and can't find a solution to this one.
Thanks.

I have had exactly the same problem with the network not loading in system preferences. I am using a macbook pro running OSX 10.6.2. As an alternative to the suggestions made here I have tried running repair disk permissions several times and each time it brought up the same thing: Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x ." It then apparently repairs the problem but it produces the same message each time: "Repaired usr/share/derby". I realise this might have nothing to do with the network problem.
In my case the problem seemed to happen when I logged on first thing thing this morning and Time Capsule was unable to connect to the internet. It requested a network password but then restarted before I put in the necessary password. The wireless network is operating I just can't bring up the network in preferences and I don't like the sound of the various solutions that have been tried because I'm not sure what data or settings I will lose.

Hello, I've bees using LabVIEW for a few years now and would consider myself between novice and intermediate. I previously used version 8.5, but at my new job they havnt got me a copy of LV yet so I'm using 2013 evaluation for now.
My question is I am trying to figure out how to use these manufacturer-supplied .NET dll's to extract measurement data from a proprietary .dat format (Orbit F/R). I read in the help that I should start by creating a .net constructor and load an assembly. When I try to do this my assembly is not in the list (from what I can tell) and if I browse for one of the DLL's and try to load it, it gives me an error.
How do I get this to work?

Could not load iCloud preference pane and could not load internet accounts preference pane

after a recent not so succesful time machine restore, and after turning internal hard drive and ssd on my macbook pro late 2008 into a fusion drive, I get these error messages in the system preference : could not load iCloud preference pane and could not load internet accounts preference pane. I noted that Mail, Calendar, notes etc all sync to my various device, but on my mac, I can't access the accounts feature. Can anyone help me resolve this issue ? I searched all over the net with no success...
cheers !

iMac (Processor 3.2GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 3TB HD) Running Mavericks (10.9.4), I have the exact same problem. Local Apple Store unable to help. Turned to my AppleCare Program. They say their techs have never come across this issue this was what was done:
Have downloaded & new copy of OS X = same issue.
Deleted OS X Reinstalled OS X on blank drive - restored all my data from backup = now have no MS Office, no Adobe Photoshop Elements, no iWeb, no Parallels, no VMWare, no iPhoto in fact, nothing of "my" machine. (but problem is still there)
Advised to do an "Internet Restore" from good Backup (over 24 hours to complete); when complete, machine restarts = a circle with a cross diagonally through it and the spinning wheel. (It goes no further no matter how many times you reboot)
Now on my own, booted using "Command + R" to start in Recovery mode. Changed all permissions in Disk Utility. Rebooted. = my machine is back - all data intact and all programs there & working BUT problem persists.
I have now turned to Communities. Followed everything people said worked for them but in my case, after a reboot, I still cannot load iCloud OR Internet Accounts Preferences panes!!
If I add a calendar item on my iMac it will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone. If I add a calendar item on either my iPhone or my iPad that item will sync with the other device but will not sync to my iMac. The same is true for Contacts as well. Extremely annoying to have to type it in all the time. This is Apple for heavens sake and therefore it should work!!

Preferences Error - Could not load Network

My dad just bought me a (used)) iBook g4 to replace my old one. It's running 10.3.9. It didn't come with a wireless card, so I ordered an Airport Extreme and installed it. I'm pretty sure I installed it correctly, I heard all the right clicks.
It booted up afterwards and the first thing I did was to run system update and try to get everything up to date. There were a ton. After it restarted, it no longer was connecting to our wirelesss network. I tried to go to System Preferences > Network and it responds with the error message "Preferences Error - Could Not Load Network" and nothing opens. Not to mention my DVD Player no longer works!
I have no idea what's at fault here- the airport extreme card, a bad update... And no idea how to fix it! Any help would be appreciated!

That it is not recognizing the retail (thanks cornelius) Leopard DVD is a problem indeed.
It should be plugged into the mains power, as the CD/DVD drive uses a lot of power when it is spinning.
Back to your About this Mac, does it mention that your optical drive can read DVDs?
On mine this info is located down the list under ATA which will have mentioned, CD
and in detail in the lower window
eg. Drive type: CD - RW/ DVD - ROM
if it shows the DVD-ROM part, that indicates it can read DVDs.
If it should be able to, then I wonder if the iBook's optical drive is OK. I could suggest loading another DVD into it, but you say DVD Player.app is missing.
What you could try is buying from a computer shop a CD drive cleaning kit, and following the instructions, run that through it. That is a fairy inexpensive exercise.
If it still does not recognize the DVD, and you had another Mac that you could connect by Firewire Target Disk mode, you could try installing leopard on it that way. But before that rather complex arrangement, try the disk cleaner. It might be a quick fix.

Preferences Error: Could not load accounts preference pane

Hey,
i have nearly the same problem as discribed here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/10103378#10103378
I simply can't load the accounts preference pane. The error-message is something like "the preference pane 'user and groups' could not be opened" (my systemlanguage is german, so I don't know exactly). This error error appeared unter 10.6.8 as well, but I did not care for it. I just hoped this problem would be fixed by updating to lion... but unfortunatly I was wrong. It appears under 10.7 as well.
I tried every hint written in the other topic, except for reinstalling Snow Leopard.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I thought about just deleting the accounts.prefPane-file and replace it with a copy of my friends iMac. But im scared i crash my whole system
Don't know if this does matter, but my Mac is a iMac 7,1.
Thanks for any help and sorry for my poor english.

I had the same problem on *three* separate macs all running Snow Leopard 1.6.8. Not only were my System Preferences > Accounts not loading but so was Disk Utility crashing every time I opened it as well as a few other oddities.
I fixed everything in one fell swoop by following the solution on this thread :
I used Pacifist to open my Mac OS X Install DVD (10.6) and manually pulled out the PlatformHardwareManagement.framework. The one that was installed on my system was dated March '07, I replaced it with the one from the installer DVD.

Receiving error message 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'

I started getting this error message for the first time today. When I look in the event log I see it every time anyone tries to sync to a mobile device to the exchange server. I've also had this problem trying to connect using
Outlook. I believe it is an IIS issue but I'm not absolutely sure so I'm posting this in the Exchange forum as well.
The event viewer has the following information...
3008

I have tried most, if not all, of the different post's suggestions to no avail.
The steps I have taken are as follows...
1. Repaired .Net 4 (Both the client and extended)
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled .Net Framework 4.0.
3. Verified that the dll exists.
4. Checked the applicationHost.config file. It contains the follow statement...
<add name="ServiceModel-4.0" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0"
/>
5. Changed the following line in web.config to include the runtimeVersion...
<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
6. Executed aspnet_regiis.exe -iru from the ...\Framework64\v4.0.30319 directory.
7. Went to inetpub\history to use an applicationHost.config file from yesterday but it only has history from 9PM tonight. It probably had what I needed before I started changing it tonight.
I still receive the same error message.
Like I said everything was working yesterday. In fact I didn't hear or see any issue until after 1PM today.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi,
Please confirm whether users can access their mailboxes from Outlook Web Access or not. We can do the following changes to have a try:
1. In IIS > Application Pools, change the .NET Framework Version to v2.0 and restart IIS service.
2. If it doesn’t work, explore the Default Web site.
3. Renamed the web.config file to web.config.old
4. Reset IIS using iisreset command to have a try.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang
