Can't find Blutooth in preferences

I bought a new iMac in November 2013 which has a wireless keyboard and mouse, which worked well but won't connect since OS was updated. I've looked in System Preferences and there is no symbol for Blutooth. In System Report / Blutooth it says 'No Information Found'. It's strange because the keyboard and mouse worked fine up to downloading and installing the update (to OSX 10.9.3.)
Does anyone know how I can get the Blutooth up and running again please?

Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Then "pair" the keyboard and house > Bluetooth Quick Assist

Can't find my Photoshop preferences file

I KNOW this is stupid, but on Windows 7, 64-bit, with all the stuff turned on to show me hidden files and system files and everything, Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1?), and Lightroom 4.3
I'm trying to follow the advice that everything I do in Photoshop should be backed up somewhere other than as part of Photoshop, I periodically move all the stuff in
the Users/<me>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe... folders to a backup drive... And, by and large, I can find and figure out what stuff is.
But, I can't find my preferences file. I went to the Adobe help, and it says:
General settings
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp (32-bit version)
Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp (64-bit version)
Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings
I don't have ANYTHING called "Prefs.psp" in the Users stuff. As near as I can tell, I don't have anything called Prefs.psp ANYWHERE on the disk..
Do I get to pick where this file gets put? Could I have put it somewhere ELSE? Or, is it actually named something else?
I wouldn't be much concerned about his, but my latest stupid human trick (we won't go into that please) has convinced me I should do a better job of making sure I can restore Photoshop and Lightroom in the event of a "small error in judgement"

Thanks Noel. It's nice to know that at least THIS time, I'm not crazy..........
As far as backups, I've got a good setup, EXCEPT for the system backup... I'm using Syncback to back up everything but the O/S, and I've recently added a backup that takes everything from the system except the Windows folder tree... So, every night at 1 a.m. everything gets backed up to internal backup drives and a large external backup drive.
What I'll do is add an (hopefully) automated Windows Backup to the other backups. Given the appallingly stupid things I periodically do I figure I need suspenders and a belt.

I can not find the display preferences tab to turn on video mirroring. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to get my Macbook Pro to stream to a Samsung Smart TV. I just came from the Apple Store and they told me I need to turn on Video Mirroring. I went to System Preferences/ Display but can't find Display Preferences or the box to check for Video Mirroring. The only tabs are for Gather Windows and Detect Displays. It does detect the Samsung TV but how do I turn on the Video Mirroring? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using Lion (if that means anything.)

It is only my Ipad that is causing problems, my laptop does not suffer the same issues.
Does the problem happen only with specific sites? If so, what sites? Also, have you tried testing the iPad on a different network to see if the problem goes away? It is possible that you may have some kind of ad blocker or anti-virus software that is doing something to prevent the ads from appearing on the laptop, which would explain why you're seeing what is probably a network-related problem only on iOS.
Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, or have otherwise accepted the installation of an app from a website rather than the App Store, there's no known adware or malware capable of infecting it. If you have done one of those things, you should restore your iPad to factory defaults, and should not restore anything from a backup.

I can't find where in preferences I can change to have the brush tip always stay the same as the previous line - so that I don't have to re-choose the brush tip each time I draw a line.

hi, can someone jog my memory on what to change in preferences so that the brush tool tip stays always the same when i continuously draw - so that I don't have to re choose the same brush tip with each line I draw. I know its possible but re-installed Illustrator and can't find it now. Thanks

Estella,
In the Appearance palette you can toggle Between new Art Has Basic Appearance and New Art maintains Appearance.

HT204053 I would like to set up iCloud on my Macbook but I can not find it in preferences. Help!

I realized that when I bring up preferences on my Macbook Pro, there is no iCloud icon to click on in the internet, wireless group. I'd like to make sure that iCloud is set up on my computer, but don't how to get it started. Thanks for any advise!

Go to System Preferences>iCloud to sign into your account (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html). Requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.

Hi all, i have problems to connect my mac (os x 10.8.1) to some projectors. Any idea? And i can not find in system preferences, the option to select the screens. Before my upgrade, the projector was recognized automatically. Any idea? Thank you.

Thank you

These instructions finally worked for me as well, but there are two things that are left off that I had to do in order to make it work. The first is I had to have an ethernet plugged from my wireless router into my mac in order to complete the steps. The second is that after restoring the defaults, I had to then click on "enable wireless" on my desket BEFORE connecting wirelessly to the "HP" network that popped up.
Once you finally get to the web page and click on the networks tab to install the printer on the network, you may lose internet service which will then inhibit you from completing the process (every time I connected to the "hp network" that kicked me off of my own home wifi network, but you have to be connected online in order to complete the process). After trying over and over again, I finally plugged the ethernet in and started all over again with the restoring degaults, then clicking the button the deskjet that says "enable wireless", then followed all of the steps above and I finally received the completed message. Then I unplugged the ethernet cord and all was well (it was a little slow at first like someone mentioned).
So if the steps are not working for you, try plugging the ethernet from the router to your mac first, then follow all of the steps (including the restoring defualts as step one), click on ebable wireless on the printer, then after all of the steps and the complete message, unplug the ethernet.
I also should mention that I have os x 10.9 of which there is no driver on hp's site, so I installed the driver for os x 10.8 first before doing the steps and that is also what helped this to work (I wasn't even able to click on the "webpage" tab on the printers page because it wasn't even finding the printer at first before downloading the 10.8 driver for the deskjet).

I installed Maverick on my Intel IMac. All my icons and menu bar are tiny. How do I get them back to large Can't find how to make larger in preferences

Help
All icons now tiny on my 27" iMac. Can't find anything in preferences to change the sizes.

There isn't a way to change those sizes. You must reduce your display resolution.
In Display System preferences, Display tab, select Scaled.
Then, pick a resolution that is sufficiently large.

I can't find icloud in system preferences?

I can not find icloud in preferences? Do I need to do something. I did go to LION

Your profile states that you are using OSX 10.6.8. What exactly do you mean when you say "I did go to lion". Do you have lion or not, OSX 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud.

Can't find Comment tool nor preferences nor Getting Started nor the version etc

I am starting to try and work with Adobe Reader for Windows 8.1 but I find it so streamlined as to be unworkable. I have checked some You Tube videos and the support subjects but apparently everything I need is hidden away somewhere.
I can't find what version I am using.
I can't find where my preferences are
I can't find Getting Started
I can't find the Annotations Panel
I can't find the Comment Tool
I can't find the Commenting Panel
I believe the apps bar to be along the bottom but when I pull that up and click options I can access "info" and that is it. On the upper right hand corner I can minimalize or close. That is it. I can change from single to double page and I can set it for continuous but nothing else. And disconcertingly when I enter these questions in the support search they are not found. Streamline is good but this isn't Thanks,

Dear Pat -
It's official. This is the worst program I have ever seen. You and I have gone back and forth many times and the amount of time I am wasting trying to get the most elemental tasks accomplished is not to be believed. How is Adobe still in business?
The first and MOST IMPORTANT thing is where is the MANUAL . I cannot anything that helps me. and NO I can not find in the Control panel the version I am supposed to be using. But AGAIN the MAIN THING is for me to get some help with the rudimentary aspects of the program. Unfortunately your program came with my windows package but because you guys decided to hide all the functionality I can't use it. I can't print, Your help and support is utterly worthless since it starts from the premise that I can find the buttons or controls necessary. I cannot. I can now find how to add a note, but I discovered that accidentally. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE MANUAL is or, if there is none and it could be dicey since I CAN'T FIND THE VERSION i AM using is there a tutorial or ANYBODY OUT THERE who can help me figure out how to do the basic stuff. My organization is trying to persuade me that we have to use this program but I am fighting back. Unless and until someone can demonstrate ANY USEFULLNESS, I hate Reader.

Senior moment? I can't find the Eject button on the menu bar preference

Whether through temporary blindness or by virtue of a senior moment, I can't find where the preference to show or hide the Eject button on the menu bar is located. I'm trying to hide it, as it had always been.
Any help will be most appreciated.

If you don't want it there then CMD drag it down, if you ever want it back...
On your main hard drive, dig down into System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras. Inside that window, double-click on the icon called Eject.menu.

FF is not asking if I want it to autofill my login information and I can't find a switch in preferences

Recently reloaded FF after a HD crash. In the past FF would automatically fill login info after prompting me to allow it. I'm not seeing that prompt anymore, and I can't find anything in preferences addressing this.

Hi yrkddn-
You have the power to adjust your password preferences within Firefox. I would recommend that you read this Support article troubleshooting issues with password management:
[[Username and password not remembered]]
Hope that helps!

Can not find com.apple.bluetooth.plist

my bluetooth works for a minute and then stops. Can not find it in Preferences and the icon on the top right of my screen is greyed out. I have read some on the site and seems I should have the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file, but I dont.
Please help

Hey Adam, are you running 10.5.8? Reason I ask, on my SL machines I don't have a com.apple.bluetooth.plist in my ~/Library/Preferences it's in /Library/Preferences
Just figured I'd clarify as the OP has 10.6.2 in their sig line. Why the location of the file changed, beyond me.

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

HT2495 I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences.

I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?
Thanks,

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.
