Cannot find the system preference icon on my Power Book G4

This is from memory, since I do not have a pre-10.5 OS on any computer.
Check the Applications folder. System Preferences is there.
What version of Mc OS X are you running?

Photos cannot find the system photo library

I’m in trouble. I was deleting photos in ‘pictures’ as I wanted to clean up some space on my iMac. My assumption was that ‘pictures' is completely separate to iPhoto (or photos as it is now called). I then go back into photos (the old iPhoto) and get the message 'photos cannot find the system photo library’.
I cannot access any photos at all. I’m working on a large project this weekend and I have purchased hundreds of photos over the last 6 months which I require for the project. Blood pressure boiling at the moment!
Any help please

You absolute genius. When I pressed alt and photos it gave me the option to open the ‘old version’ of iPhoto!!
Just so I don’t mess up again. How do I now get the old iPhotos back into photo?
I did try to look on my time capsule but when I viewed the last back up from this morning, there was no photo in the sidebar to even open?
I’m new to the forum. I did call Apple but probably not wise for me to articulate on this forum what they said!
The iPhoto migration to Photos would have been automatic when you upgraded - there is presumably a way to kickstart that again though I'm not certain how as I've not done so.
If you have a Time Capsule that's great.
I'll see if I can get some others to chip in.
Also, if you can still open iPhoto you can of course continue to use that for the time being.

I cannot log into systems preferences for icloud on my imac. icloud works on all devices including the imac, but I get the window "You can't sign in at this time" when using system preferences on the imac. I am using mountain lion, but it didn't work on lion either. Help

You may wish to try the following:
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trashh the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

I cannot find the apple tv icon on my iTunes when I plug in the apple tv unit to my mac book

How do I restore my apple tv when I cannot get the apple tv icon to appear on my iTunes when I connect my apple tv to my macbook?

You have to use a micro-usb cable
Here's a manual with a screenshot. In iTunes 12, the ATV logo is just about in the same spot, but without the actual words "apple tv" next to it:

GRC10 - Password Self Sercice - Cannot find the system/user

Hello
I am trying to setup Password Self Service for AC10 component. I have completed the following:
1. Maintain Data Source Configuration - As per SU01 on the Plug-In system
2. Define the ABAP Connector
3. Maintain Password Self Service Configuration - Challenge questions and attempts.
I have then registered my Security Questions and responses. When I try to reset my password, the system prompts properly for the Challenge questions and takes me to the next screen to select the system.
That is where it generates error message - "No records found for the search criteria entered."
The RFC Connector works perfectly well in Emergency Access and Risk Analysis.
I apprecaite your help and thank you for taking time to answer this issue.

Hi Snehal
Have a read of the following thread where this has been discussed: GRC AC-Password self service
Your options:
Connect to another Datasource - like AD/LDAP if you can somehow link your User Ids for network account to ERP
Switch off the verification (I spell out the risk and more reliance on challenge response)
Make each user a GRC user which means they then need to know their GRC password as well which puts you back in the same issue on a different system (what happens if user forgets ERP and then GRC password). This is really a different flavour of option1 as you are making GRC your data source. If each user is a GRC user then also little added value in using End User Login Functionality.
Your catch-22 to include authentication is that your users cannot authenticate with ERP password as they are using this functionality because they forgot it.

Where does the system preferences live? mine disappeared by the finder bar

i've lost my system preferences from my finder bar. please tell me how i can retrieve them.
thanks,
brad

Do you mean it's gone from the Dock (bottom of the screen) or from the apple menu in the top right-hand corner?
If you mean it's no longer in the Dock, just open your Applications folder and drag the System Preferences icon into the Dock.

The System Preferences will not open on my eMac. How do I get it to open?

I cannot get the system preferences to open on my eMac. I think it is a G4 running OS 10.4. How do I get it to work?
Not sure on this one and apple isn't much help on this.

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Deleted System Preferences Icon

Ive accidently removed the link to System Preferences from my Dock and finder, i can still access it from the apple icon on the 'task bar' at the top of my screen.
However i want to get a link back to it on to my dock, and in finder. Do i have to create an 'alias'/''shortcut' and if so how and where do i do this from.
I know im a fool for deleting both but ive done it accidently over time
Any help would be appreicated.

12" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi again Jon,
You stated in your original post that you are able to fire up System Preferences from the Apple menu (top left of the menubar). If that's the case, do the following:
1. Fire up System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. The System Preferences icon should now be in the dock as the dock displays all open applications/utilities.
3. Click and hold on the System Preferences icon in the dock.
4. In the menu that appears, scroll down and select Keep in Dock. That takes care of having System Preferences in the Dock issue.
5. Click and hold again on the System Preferences icon.
6. In the same menu that appears, scroll down and select Show In Finder
7. In the Finder window that appears select column view, You should now be able to see exactly where System Preferences is located in your system. If it's not in your Applications folder, someone moved it. Simply click and drag it to your Applications folder.

TA20605 the system preferences folder is missing

Until step 9 everything works ok but at step 10 after I shoose ''all applications'' and locate the application folder, I can 't find the system preferences folder anywhere. What should i do?

Are you really using Mac OS X 10.1? If not, please state the Mac OS X version. If you select About This Mac (from the Apple menu), it should show the version of Mac OS X.
System Preferences is not a folder. It is an application. If it is not in the Applications folder, you may have accidentally deleted it, or maybe moved it, or maybe renamed it.

Why do I have a red alert pellet on the system pref icon in IOS 6.0.1 ?

My iPhone 5 is new and from the start there has been a red alert pellet above the System Preferences icon, exactly like the one above the telephone app to indicate a message.
I haven't been able to discover what this pellet corresponds to. Any ideas?

Well that's partly the point, because no. I thought to check that and because the software was up to date—I'd just downloaded 6.0.1—I was really puzzled.

What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...
