Can't deselect checkboxes in lang preferences

Hello everybody!
We have 2 russian keyboard layouts - native and PC-based. I'm using PC-based. Everything works fine, but after upgrade I've found native layout... Ok, no problem - Pereferences->lang's-> deselect checkbox with native.... oooops! nothing happens, look to preferences again -> same checkbox seleted, deselect again... So I've tried several time, I'm not able to deselect this checkbox, all others checkboxes work fine, but this not... Do you have any work-around to exclude native layout?
Thanx

you can try removing the audio settings, and see if you get get into settings.
to do so, open the terminal (applications, utilities)
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist.old'
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist.old'

You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
Every time I try, I get the following message:
"You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi Michael,
I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
So the cure is pretty easy:
On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
Cheers
Niels

You can't open the application "System Preferences.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac

All of the sudden my System Preferences in Mavericks has stopped working and I get the error message:
You can't open the application "System Preferences.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
It was working fine before this, and I have run Permissions Repair, restarted to another partition and run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro, but none of those has helped. Anyone have any ideas why this happened, and what I can do to fix it?

I tried several times but not successfull ...
please help me to update my OS.

Are you asking why those non-ASCII characters are printing incorrectly? It's because the console is still treating the output as ASCII. The JVM is encoding each character as two bytes according to the UTF-8 spec, but the console is treating each byte as a separate, ASCII-encoded character. Changing the locale of the OS or the "file.encoding" property of the JVM doesn't affect the behavior of the console.
When I run your code on my WinXP machine (leaving "file.encoding" at its default setting), I get this output: // __ System.getProperty("file.encoding"): |Cp1252|
// __ |en_US|
// __ |225|�|
// __ |233|Θ|
// __ |237|φ|
// __ |243|≤|
// __ |250|�|
// __ |252|ⁿ|
// __ |241|�|
// __ |191|┐|
// __ |161|�|
// __ |251|√|
// __ |224|α|
// __ |223|▀|
// __ |232|Φ|
// __ |235|δ| The JVM is outputting the text as cp1252, but the console is treating it as cp437, its default codepage (encoding). When I change the console's encoding with the command "CHCP 1252" and run the code again, I get: // __ System.getProperty("file.encoding"): |Cp1252|
// __ |en_US|
// __ |225|�|
// __ |233|�|
// __ |237|�|
// __ |243|�|
// __ |250|�|
// __ |252|�|
// __ |241|�|
// __ |191|�|
// __ |161|�|
// __ |251|�|
// __ |224|�|
// __ |223|�|
// __ |232|�|
// __ |235|�| I don't know if it's possible to change the encoding of the console in your OS, but that's not a showstopper. Just write the output to a file, then use a reasonably capable text editor to view the result. And there's no need to change all those OS/JVM settings; just specify the encoding when you open the file for writing: FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("out.txt");
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF-8");

Google Mail Notifier Has message: "Can't sign in. See Preferences. Fetch

My Google Mail Notifier not working.
Has message:
"Can't sign in. See Preferences. Fetch -2"
I have no idea what this means. When I go to Preferences, there is nothing about "Fetch -2".
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. I am a beginner with computers, so patience may be needed
I don't know if this is helpful, but I have:
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
Thank you!

Sorry, but you'll just have to contact Google... I doubt that many of us around here use Google Mail Notifier and note that it's a beta project, so it may not be working 100% of the time...

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

I need to apply for a job but I'm told I need to enable cookies and java script, how do I do that? I can't find it in system preferences
I just updated to the new operating system which i'm starting to think was a bad idea, because it reset all my settings and I don't know how to fix them.

so when I go to safari>preferences>security>uncheck box labled enable java script links on webpages don't work and pictures and links son't want to appear on websites. this made it so webpages don't want to work past loading the content in text format. I have to check enable java script to go the webpages to work right so images and links work again but when I try to apply for this job the error message pops up saying I need to enable cookies and java script.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS IF JAVA SCRIPT IS ALREADY ENABLED HOW TO I ENABLE COOKIES?

HT204053 I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?

I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?

Lion is required to see the iCloud Preference Pane: this is an upgrade, not an update, and has to be paid for. If you want to install Lion, go to the Mac App Store and purchase and download it there ($29.99).
First check that your Mac meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space

I installed time machine but I can't find it in system preferences?

I installed time machine but I can't find it in system preferences? How do I access it? Light is green but is it backing up?

???
You installed Time Machine or Time Capsule? Time Machine is part of Leopard (OS X 10.5.x). If you are referring to Time Capsule, you set it up via AirPort Utility. You should have the install disk. If you are talking about Time Machine, can you confirm you have OS X 10.5.x? Your signature indicates you only have Tiger (OS X 10.4.11). If that is correct, you need to upgrade to Leopard.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!

you can try removing the audio settings, and see if you get get into settings.
to do so, open the terminal (applications, utilities)
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist.old'
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist.old'
