Can't open "Accounts" preferences pane
I have a 1 week old iMac 27". When I open "System Preferences" and click on Accounts, first it says "To use the “Accounts” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen." I click OK and System Preferences opens in 32-bit and I get the message: "Could not load Accounts preference pane."
I've tried restarting and trashing com.apple.systempreferences.plist to no avail.

Accounts preference pane will not open
When I try to open the Accounts preference pane in system preferences it says "Loading Accounts..." in the header bar but nothing happens. If I again select the Accounts icon the preference pane goes blank. I have no idea when this started because I don't need to access this pane often. How do I gain access to my account setups?
There is a way to do it in 10.4.x from the command line, but I wouldn't attempt it unless I was very familiar with the command line. You may a little afraid to do it yourself, but here is the list of commands:
I can't take full credit for this. I found it at:
http://farbflash.de/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/?find=snippets
The commands necessary to create an admin user are as follows:
sudo -s
niutil -create . /users/username
niutil -createprop . /users/username passwd \"\"
niutil -createprop . /users/username home /Users/username
niutil -createprop . /users/username shell /bin/tcsh
niutil -createprop . /users/username uid 520
niutil -createprop . /users/username gid 20
niutil -createprop . /users/username realname \"First Last\"
***if this property is not created, the user won't appear in the loginwindow!***
niutil -appendprop . /groups/admin users username
***only for admin users!***
These below are optional:
niutil -createprop . /users/username hint \"password hint\"
niutil -createprop . /users/username writerspassword username
niutil -createprop . /users/username writershint \"\"
niutil -createprop . /users/username writerspicture username
niutil -createprop . /users/username sharedDir Public
exit
There needs to be a valid home directory, shell, and/or SharedDir for the user. A home directory can be created as easily as:
sudo mkdir /Users/username
sudo chown username:staff /Users/username
Or if you want the default OS X user directory structure:
sudo cp -rp /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj /Users/username
sudo chown -R username:staff /Users/username
***(/System/Library/User Template also has other localized language templates)***
Additional info:
To change an admin user back to an ordinary user:
sudo niutil -destroyval . /groups/admin users username
Be careful to leave at least one accessible admin user, otherwise you will lock yourself out of your machine.
after changing netinfo:
sudo niutil -resync .
log out and in the user you changed. -
How can I delete old (non-active) email accounts that don't show in the Accounts Preferences pane?
Since I (reluctantly) abandoned MobileMe and switched to iCloud, when I use Mail Connection Doctor because a problem is indicated with one or more of my email acocunts, it shows both iCloud IMAP and Me.com SMTP accounts. The iCloud account is fine but the SMTP acount has a red button against it.
So Connection Doctor shows the old SMTP account always failing to connect (of course - as it's been abandoned). However, this account does not show up in the Accounts Preferences pane so I am not able to delete it. This also happens with another account which I deleted in the Preferences pane some time ago.
How can I stop these phantom accounts appearing in Connection Doctor? It's very irritating to constantly have faults indicated which apply to abandoned accounts.
Thanks people!Go to your iCloud account in Preferences>Accounts. Set the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' drop-down menu to 'Edit SMTP server list'. Then:
Set the server name as shown here. Then click the Advanced tab and check the settings.
If you are still having problems, you could start the setup again from scratch. Assuming that your signature is correct and you are running Leopard, delete any iCloud or MobileMe accounts in the list and then follow the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard -
Can't acces Accounts Preferences
Hi everyone
Here's a funny one for you.....
I've tried to access my user account setting lately, for the first time in years, and I can't open it.
Everything works fine in the System Preferences, except Accounts Prefs. When I click it a popup window first tells me that "to open accounts preferences, you must quit and re-open system preferences". The system preferences close, reopen automatically, and I get the message "Preferences Error; Unable to open the Accounts Preferences Pane".
Here are the messages this situation fires in the console:

Anybody has any idea how to fix that, other than reinstalling?
Thanks!
DominiqueI seem to be experiencing the same issue. The mention of not being able to create new users got me thinking.
When I upgraded to Lion, I, somehow, got lockcked out of my account. It kept prompting me to change the pass word but woud not recognise ANY of the passwords I used in the past. After all the frustration, I decided to do a clean install of the OS and when I attempted to create an account with the username I needed, as some of my software licenses are account username specific. The same prompt appeared after restart AND it still would not accept the password.
The question now becomes, might the ~/Preferences/ folder issue be in the recovery partition? I received the same error message after performing a virus scan using ClamXav. I scanned my entire HD not just he one partition.
Is it possible that the issue is that some of the Preferences for the OS don't match those of the recovery partition?

Internet Accounts Preference pane corrupted after 10.9.5 update
After loading the 10.9.5 update I noticed that my Internet Accounts preferences pane in System Preferences is corrupted. The pane shows mostly blank, but will show graphic corruption if I move the window around. It has the list of accounts even though you cannot see them. If I click on the first account location my iCloud account shows up on the right. The list under it doesn't show, but it is also present. I have gone through and trashed a few plist files that look related. I tried most of the items related to problems in this area, but I have been unable to figure out what is causing this anomaly. The only other problem I have that is related is that if I try to create a new Mail account, the account type picker has the last item with a radio button, but no graphic. If I select it, it shows an example AOL address, but the rest of the text is not correct.
This is the add account pane in mail. I assume that last one is supposed to be AOL.
This is the pane that shows up when selecting the blank entry. It sort of looks like a foreign language without the right font.
I am going to try re-loading the combo pack upgrade for Mavericks to see if that can correct this. Any ideas are appreciated. Did 10.9.5 pull out the AOL option and just not do it right on my system?
Just found a related issue. Add Account in Contacts (need to add a directory account) doesn't do anything. I had a directory account during the upgrade, but removed all accounts and re-added all back except that one since I cannot.
ThanksI did the Safe Boot again and had the problem. I still have the problem after rebooting into normal mode. Looks like there is an uncaught exception when I select to add an account in the address book. There are similar uncaught exceptions when I got into the internet accounts preference pane as well.

Yosemite - could not load internet accounts preference pane - same for icloud - mail not running
After Up-Grade to Yosemite 10.10:
Mail not working
Preferences Error Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane
Preferences Error Could not load iCloud Accounts preference pane
Had several issues when upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10. Finally it seemed to work. When starting Mail, I tried to restore data from Time Machine (did a back-up under Mountain Lion immediately before up-grading to Yosemite). This ran for over 2 h when I suddenly noticed that "Mail quit unexpectedly. Since then I cannot work with Mail at all.
I read on the forum that many people have issues with Mail in Yossemite but apparently it's different from what I am experiencing, and it seems that none of the proposed solutions work for me.
I can start Mail, but I will only see the bar on top of the screen. Mail "Preferences" remains grey (= cannot click).
When choosing Mail "Accounts", System Preferences opens and then I get the "Preferences Error Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane."
I noticed then that I get a similar error when clicking "iCloud" in System Preferences: "Preferences Error Could not load iCloud Accounts preference pane."
I can open "Internet Accounts" and "iCloud" in System Preferences when I log in as a guest without any errors, but as soon as I log in with my user name, I get the same errors.
As suggested elsewhere in this forum, I removed the com.apple.mail-shared.plist in library and tried the same with com.apple.internetaccounts.plist.
I've spent hours on this and find this increasingly frustrating. I would try another new installation of Yosemite, if only I could be confident it would work this time...
Any advice how to solve this will be appreciated!Hey Sage,
Glad you got it fixed!
I had exactly the same problems, but found this solution on another thread courtesy of Paul Pharoah which saved the trouble of another clean install and seems to have fixed everything . It appears the problem lies somewhere in the mail account settings.
"I 've had the same problem today and tried lots of the suggested solutions around, all without success until....
1. I moved all the files in ~/Library/Mail/V2 to the desktop
2. Deleted the folder
3. Deleted my two email accounts (Gmail and exchange server) using System Preferences>Internet Accounts
4. Re-started Mail. It now re-started as if for the first time and asked me to re-input my mail accounts which I did.
5. Mail up and running again."

Could not load iCloud Accounts preference pane
Hi,
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.10.2. All of a sudden my Messages won't open and I can't log into my iCloud account from the preferences. When I try I get the following error message.
"Preferences Error. Could not load iCloud Accounts preference pane"
Any guidance on resolving the issues is greatly appreciated.
God Bless!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!! -
Enabling "Accounts" Preference Pane
I have somehow turned off my kid's "accounts" preference pane. When I launch system preferences under her log in to manage her account, the "accounts" pane is grayed out. So I can't get to her account to turn the accounts pane back on. How do I turn the accounts pane on if I can't open her account?
You probably have her account managed with Parental Controls features switched on through an administrator account. You need to edit the account features from there.

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. -
Accounts Preference Pane empty!
Hi,
my problem is, that when I open the "Accounts" preference pane it first loads infinitely and when clicking a second time, it comes up empty.
Here's the console log:

Here's what I've tried:
1. delete cache
2. login as another user and see if problem persists. result: problem is system-wide
3. did a "nidump passwd /"... nothing seemed suspicious
4. restored NetInfoDB to last automatic backup
I haven't and don't want to try:
1. reinstalling OS X
2. rebuilding nidb from defaults

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

post scriptum: yes I tried the search and found the same problem... it seems no one can solve it... that's why I wanted to make a second post

Can't open keyboard/preferences in lion
HI,
I've downloaded lion over the week-end.
Installation went ok but I am getting a few strange behaviors:
1- When selecting "shut down" from my account nothing happens. I have to first log out and then log out!!
2- When trying to access system preferences + keyboard I first get a message saying it has to restart the "system preference" to access the option. The system preference is then restarted (I note that at the top it now indicates "system preferences 32-bit") and then a pop up window says "you can't open Keyboard preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based MAC".
I actually doubt that!!!
3- Last thing is that when installing xcode 4.1 the tool indicated at some point I had to close safari to continue installation. I did so but the installation did not continue. I had to restart the computer and reintall xcode (without safari opened) to get a successful installation.
I can survive with (1) & (3) but question (2) is really annoying as I can't customize my mac.
By the way I am using a macbook pro (2.53 GHz intel core 2 duo with lion (11A511).
Any help would be welcome.
Thx.TextEdit found in your Applications folder will open Word documents. I have the same problem. come on Apple try sort it out

Error in internet accounts preferences pane
I recently had to delete my old Exchange account (moved servers) and when I tried to add it back, the Internet Accounts preference pane keeps on quitting every time I try and add a new email account. I open the Internet Accounts preference pane, click on Exchange, type in the information, they computer searches, locates the account, then it just quits and goes back to the main Preference Pane. I have restarted, repaired permissions, Anyone have any fixes. I need to get the account added ASAP!
After trying more things and searching the internet more, I found a solution:
"Here is what I did "So I attempted to setup the account in Preferences>Internet Accounts again but this time, I started the process with all of my internet connections disabled. So I disabled the wifi and ethernet adapters beforehand. Now, when after entering my info, and selecting continue instead of crashing it displayed a new window requesting that I manually enter the server address. I manually entered the server, reactivated my network connection, and selected continue, at which point it completed successfully."
