Corrupted Preference File; Delete?

Installed Leopard on 12/18. Now that OnyX is Leopard compatible, I have downloaded and installed. I then checked Preferences and the following was found to be corrupt:com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist. (User>Library>Preferences)
Can I trash this and start something up to rebuild this particular preference? If so, what? What does this .plist file do, anyway?
Thanks!

Go ahead and delete it. If it's sitting on your desktop, it's not doing it's job anyway . .. and if your computer is functioning, you're okay.
As I understand it, .plist files or "preferences" files are files created by an application to store the changes you make in the "preference" menu of the application. If there is no .plist file, it resorts to default preferences.
Try changing that mosic screensave prefernces and see if the file is recreated. If it's not, it still doesn't matter.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 preference file deleted problem

    Hello
    I hope soemone can help out here, i'm quite stuck!
    I'm running OS 10.8.5 using PS CS5.1. My mac was left on overnight (not sure how relevant that is) and when opening up PS this morning it crashed with the message 'end of file encountered' 'preferences file is invalid/has been deleted'
    I've read up on a few older posts about the same thing. I uninstalled/reinstalled from disk but the same thing happens.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Matt

    Please hold down Shift+Option+Command keys as Photoshop is launched.
    Incase this does not work, please delete the corrupt preference file:
    Go to your home folder.
    Go to your User Library folder.( OR Hit Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder > Go > Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library)
    Go to the Preferences folder.
    Delete the “Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings” (or similar name) folder.(Folder name may differ depending on what version you have)

  • To place an item in illustrator cc 2014 the command repeats itself at least twice before i can place an item. would this indicate a corrupt preference file?

    Thank you for taking the time with this issue. I do use a Mac with the latest OS X.
    I have solved the issue simply by deleting all Adobe apps (cc 2014) I ran the Adobe app cleaner tool and deleted all traces of my Adobe software.
    Then I re-installed all my apps and the issue has been resolved. In fact my Adobe apps (cc 2014) appear to be working better than ever before.
    I think I may have had a corrupt preference file stored somewhere on my system. However, that was deleted and all is working fine now, better than ever before.
    Thank you.

  • Surgery on corrupt preferences file?

    Hello. I used to have speakable items activated but turned it off in the speech pane months ago. However, am still getting a partial spoken warning from time to time (Agnes says only "ALERT...", usually when the battery runs down for example. Needless to say, my wife is not happy to hear a computer-generated female voice in our bedroom at 3 o'clock in the morning.
    I was told that I had a corrupt preferences file that needed fixing. Is there any way to do this without erasing all of my other preferences?
    Thanks again!

    Hi ¿Qué?,
    I think you just need to move these 2 to the Desktop, reboot & set Speech Prefs again if needed, most likely default is OFF though...

  • Corrupted Preferences File - Why?

    Trash your Prefs! You know the mantra. When PS fails to do something, its trash your prefs!
    I wondered why/how ones preferences ever get corrupted. Ive use PS, since 2.5 on all sorts of PCs, sometimes with it running around the clock for days. Never once had I encountered a corrupted preferences file until now, that is.
    What I encountered can only be listed as an observation. Im sure that it is but one possible cause. Still, I thought that Id share my experience.
    Up at 4:00AM to start a rush scan job. Everything boots up fine, and I start PS CS2. As its loading the plug-ins, etc., I notice that Sun Microsystems Java wants an update and its icon has appeared in the Tasktray of my XP-Pro SP3. I open it, and click Update Later, or whatever the exact dialog is. It drops back to the Tasktray. PS seems to be taking a long time to load on my workstation, but I give it a few moments. Nothing. Its hung at Reading Text Global Resources. I check Task Manager PS is shown as Not Responding. Odd, this has NEVER happened before in all those years. Not so much as once.
    I remembered that there was an update for Extend Script, that I told PS to hold off on. I go to Updates, via Bridge and its still there waiting. I End Task for PS and look for something usable from MS. Of course theres nothing. Event Viewer shows an Application Hang, with no useful info. I install the Extend Script Update, and try PS again. It gets to the same spot and hangs.
    OK, I allow Java to update (making sure to NOT allow the installation of the MSN Search Toolbar - sheezh! I try PS yet again. Hang at the same spot.
    Re-boot and hang. Though I have said it a thousand times, trash your prefs, it takes a moment for it to sink in. I trash my prefs and all is good with PS. Luckily, I had my dual-monitor Workspace saved, and it only takes a minute to change the default preferences back to what I want.
    Normally, I have everything, and I mean everything, set to NOT auto-update. I turn this feature off for every program that I install. I use Premiere a lot, and do not want Norton, or anybody, waking up and phoning home. Ill tell em when to update. Well, I missed Java.
    I can only guess that it did its update thing, just at a critical time for PSs loading and blew up the prefs file. Had it popped up a second later, or maybe a second earlier, I doubt that Id have had to trash my prefs. After all these years (decades really), I had a corrupt preferences file.
    Im sure there are a myriad things that can corrupt a preferences file, and I am only guessing at what caused mine. However, the timing is perfect, so Java gets the blame.
    Just thought Id share,
    Hunt

    Ho,
    I'm squarely with you on that one. If one's computer is just used for e-mail and browsing, it's not an issue. Real work, however, trumps getting the latest update, as soon as is possible. I just missed setting Java to manual. It slipped by my defenses. Won't happen again. I also hate any auto-update, that will require a reboot. Hey, I'm working here. I'll update and reboot, when I'm finished.
    I also think that I need to clarify that I was only making an observation of what was happening on my system. The Java updater was not running yet, but only the "message" pop-up. Also, these two occurrances could have been purely coincidental. I was just the observer. After the prefs corruption, I did run the Java updater, and after the "trashing" of my perfs, all ran very well.
    I do not want to scare people off from updating, Java, or anything. I am sorry if I was not clear. As I said, I have no idea whether the message pop-up had any effect whatsoever. It just hit at the same time. [and pissed me off, that I had not thought to properly configure it for my workflow]

  • PSE 6 MAC: Corrupted Preference Files

    I have a frequent problem with my cursors for all editing functions turning into four lines in a square pattern. I shut down, restart, to no avail. Then, I restart using command option shift and opt to delete preference file. Then all is good again. Anyone got a fix for this?

    Hi Lee,
    You must have at some point set the 'Painting cursor' to 'Precise' in 'Display and Cursor' setting under Preferences for PSE. That's the reason why when you restart no change is seen but on deleting the preference file, you get back to the normal cursor.
    You can go to the 'Display and Cursor' setting under Preferences and set 'Paninting cursors' to 'Normal Brush Tip', restart the application, and this should work.
    You can also toggle between the cursor style for the opened image by turning on/off the Caps Lock.
    Hope this helps.

  • Preferences file deleted?!

    I suddenly can't use my Photoshop CS5.  In the middle of working on it, I suddenly got an error message saying "Could not initialze Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid.  (It has been deleted.)  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS but still get the same message.  Now PS won't even open up.  Please help!

  • Corrupt preference files

    I recently had a problem with Mail that BDAqua helped me with here over the weekend.
    It was as though my Mail preference file was trashed. Well, I just now opened up Adobe Illustrator and the application informed me that the preference file was corrupt for that too, and was being trashed.
    It looks like something is going on with my .plist files. My questions are, what could be doing it (is there a known worm that affects .plist?) and what can I do to prevent it from happening again? Is there a Tiger-compatible software that will scan and repair them?
    Is this something I should be worried about getting worse?
    Thanks!

    HI Scott,
    Did you trash the Adobe Illustrator .plist file?
    No, it's not a worm. Preference files are susceptible to corruption since they are written-to frequently.
    See if you can locate a file similar to this. com.adobeillustrator.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Just because one preference file is corrupted doesn't mean they all are. It's much easier and quicker to trash one then run a 3rd party software that could end up causing you more problems in the long run.

  • Corrupted Preference Files

    Hey Gang,
    I've been experiencing an issue with Safari where my com.apple.safari.plist. files keep getting corrupted.
    On random occasions when I launch Safari (and other applications), no Safari window opens. The menu bar shows that Safari has launched but the Safari window is hidden. When I go to the menu bar, click File>New Window, no window appears and then the option to Quit in the Safari menu is faded.
    I force quit Safari and then move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the desktop. I relaunch Safari and everything is back to normal for a couple of days.
    I'm also experiencing the exact same issue with DVD Player and iTunes.
    I have repaired permissions and run Disk Warrior to no avail.
    What's going on?
    Dan

    Hi Daniel
    Your profile shows 10.4.7, if that is correct then maybe you need to update the OS X
    To get Tiger totally up to date use the 10.4.11 Combo Update below:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__Intel
    Or to get Leopard totally up to date use the 10.5.6 Combo Update below:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
    Then go to *Apple > Software Update* and get the latest other updates for Safari, iTunes, QTime etc..

  • Corrupt Dock File?

    Hi,
    So on my dock, I have my Applications Folder on it to use as a shortcut, but just recently, it started to display two of every application. See my picture:
    I also have my Downloads Folder on my Dock. When I drag things from the Downloads folder into the trash can, nothing happens. But then when I click +Show In Finder+, it shows the file as deleted.
    So it seems my Dock is not refreshing or something? So what I did to fix it was just remove the Applications and Downloads Folders from the Dock, and drag the Applications and Downloads folder from my hard drive to the dock. But everytime I log back in or download something else, the problem will arise again.
    Do I have a corrupt dock file? I didn't want to try messing with that until I consulted +Apple Discussions+ first.
    Thanks, Alex

    if recreating those stacks doesn't help try resetting your dock preference file. delete the file /users/user/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and enter the following terminal command
    killall Dock
    your dock will be rest to the default. see if the problem goes away.

  • Mail and safari hogging cpu - corrupt preferences?

    I am having a major problem when I run Mail or Safari under Mavericks on my iMac - they hog all the CPU making it hard to do other things unless I keep quitting the Mail Web Content or Safari Web Content processes using Activity Monitor. This also has shown up in other discussions on this board and no one seems to have a resolution to the problem. But the curious thing is that I only have the problem on my older iMac, but on my new MacBook Pro that also runs Mavericks, runs Mail with identical settings (and is accessing the same server) and runs Safari with the same bookmarks there is no problem. So the problem must be with something on my iMac that is causing Mail and Safari to keep running these Web Content processes and taking over the CPU.
    In the old days I would have assumed it was a corrupt Preferences file and deleted that, but no one has sugggested this. Is this possible? If so, what should be deleted?

    While everything had been working fine, this morning I installed the latest update to the operating system and I am back with the same problem (although I am only having Mail Web Content hogging the CPU and not Safari Web content this time).  I am posting below some information from the log as you suggested (sorry if it is too much but I don't know what you are looking for). Let me know if there is anything else you need. Thanks for the help LInc.

    Hi Heidig,
    Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks Forum.
    It's unlikely that this is a "New Year's" issue. The most probable cause is a corrupted preferences file.

For this one, a search, restricted to the AppleWorks forum, using "has been deleted" (without the quotes) brought up four posts on this topic, including a reference by Peggy to her User Contributed Tip, on the first page of results.

  • Firefox and Sea monkey both crash on opening and can't find preference file

    I am using Mac Os X 10.5.8 and the latest versions of Sea Monkey and Firefox. Sea Monkey crashed while trying to access a conference. Now Sea Monkey crashes every time I try to open it as does Firefox.
    I suspect there is a corrupt preference file that both are trying to access but I can't find it. I've looked at some online places that suggest various plist files in the Library/preferences folder but there is nothing there under mozilla or firefox type names or one called com.apple.internetconfig.plist that was also suggested.

    Yay, solved it. Dances. The conference I was trying to access installed a plugin called WebEx.plugin. I removed this and both now work fine.
