Accounts Keeps Crashing In System Preferences

Hi i have been trying to get into my Accouts Pane and every time i try to open the pane it says loading at the top and then it crashes i have already tried deleting com.apple.systempreferences.plist and it didnt work does anyone have any good solutions?
Thanks, Davio

Boot with your install disk, launch Disk Utility, select the boot volume, and repair it. Boot back into the boot volume and try again. If you get the same behavior, move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file to the desktop, log out and back in, and try again. If still no go, try a safe boot and see if it work s properly.

Why my MacBook Air keeps hanging on System Preferences and Settings whenever I attempt to open it ?

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 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.

Mail app and System Preferences--Internet Accounts keeps crashing

I can't figure out how to stop mail from crashing and I am running OS X Yosemite. Some people say that you can remove the internet account, but when I go to system preferences, It always crashes the internet accounts section. I also can' find the com.apple.mail plist in library. Does anyone know how to fix this?
-Guy

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

I cant get my accounts to open in system preferences

When i click on accounts at the top of my page it says its loading but then when i let it load it will crash my system preferences

Boot with the Snow Leopard install disc, launch Disk Utilities, and repair the disk. Once everything's right with that, reinstall SL.
BTW, don't post with all caps—that's considered shouting and frowned upon.

Removing an account not listed in System Preferences Accounts?

Somehow I inadvertently created a second account on my iMac that shows as an option at startup. I think I did this with the startup disc somehow. It's not listed in System Preferences>Accounts. How do I get rid of it?

I tried the terminal command first. It returned this line:
dsebableroot: Command not found.
I then tried the instructions after the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528?viewlocale=en_US
"Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
From the Go menu, choose Utilities.
Open Directory Utility.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Disable Root User from the Edit menu."
However in the Edit menu, "Disable Root User" is not an option. "Enable Root User" is.

If your information footer is correct, you need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.2 or higher, then iCloud will appear in the system preferences window.

Crashing on System Preferences

Hello, I have Leopard installed on my PowerBook G4 12" and when the screensaver comes on the screen goes black and it tries to start, then after about thirty seconds the screen flashes like the screen saver is ending. When I go into System Preferences and go under Desktop & Screen Saver, and try to change how long the screen saver is on, it crashes, every time, what should I do!? thanks

Do you have a backup of your stuff?
We need to determine whether you issue is hardware or software based. Begin with Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back with update.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
If this does not fix the issue, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

App Store, Notes and System Preferences keep crashing?

Okay so i have 3 problems after the 10.8.2 update for Mountain lion.
App Store continues to crash whenever I attempt to load anything from the internet. That is, it will show me what updates i need, and my purchases, but if I go into a category in the categories, it crashes, if i go into Featured, it crashes, and if i go into Charts, it crashes.
Notes will crash whenever I try to edit anything. It will sync, when i open it up, but as soo as i try to type or delete something, it crashes.
System Preferences crashes ONLY when i attempt to go into 'Security & Privacy'.
Any help would be appreciated.

Reinstalled, and when i tried to update, i got this:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)
I'm pretty sure that i installed that Supplemental update the other day though.
Either way, i still have the same problems.

Please help...I do not know what to do with this issue. Pasted the above report using my Dads user account as anything I do using my User account it just keeps crashing...Thank you.

Un-install using the developer’s instructions to make sure you remove all parts of the application. Some people recommend not installing an application unless you know how to remove it.
Cuda has caused some people problems. Try un-installing it and test.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
