  • Could not load Displays preference panel?

    Hi I need some help. I keep getting the following error when I try to open the Desktop & Screen save or the Displays Preference panel in the System Preferences.
    Ive just purchased the device and Its a new MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), 3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB and Ive just installed Yosemite. Not a massive issue at the moment but I guess its an underlying issue that needs resolving so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Preference Error: Could not load sharing preference pane

    For some reason my second computer (iMac 27) is no longer showing up on the left pane of any finder window on my MBP. The iMac is running Yosemite and the MBP is running Mavericks. So I open System preferences to see if there is a problem with "Sharing" on the MBP. I'm getting a Preference Error: Could not load sharing preference pane. Do I need to install the update to fix this? I'm not ready to commit to Yosemite completely. I build apps for iOS and Mac and really need to test in both OS environments.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.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.

  • Preferences error Could not load iCloud preference pane.

    Hello
    I have 3 problem.
    Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane.
    Could not load iCloud preference pane.
    I also can't open the Mail application.
    I already tried to log in as guest user, I can open everything in guest user. So guest user have no problem.
    I also tried to log in in safe mode, nothing was working. So I guess I have problem with the admin user.
    I also reinstall the operating system and nothing change.
    Please any help?
    Thank you.
    Hind.

  • "Could not load iCloud preference pane." after changing password

    I am running a Mac Pro (Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1.
    I recently had to change my iTunes (& etc.) password on my iPhone, and since then every so often throughout the day this computer pops up a window saying "this Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem..." and says to open iCloud preferences to fix the problem. When I click on "iCloud Preferences" in the window or go to the system preferences to update the password, I get "Could not load iCloud preference pane." - If I go to the iternet accounts panel and click on iCloud, it wants me to log in, and when I do (with the new password) it says I'm already signed in and "this account already exists". (As an aside, none of the stuff seamlessly connecting the computer and iPhone has worked at all since I upgraded to Yosemite.)
    Quite frankly, this is my work computer and I don't care if it's signed in to iCloud at all or if it talks to my phone, as long as my Adobe software works, but getting a popup window throughout the day (usually when I'm right in the middle of something finicky in Photoshop...) is rather annoying! Due to all the issues I'm having, I haven't even attempted to upgrade my laptop to Yosemite yet.
    Any suggestions? Either to get everything working correctly, or to get rid of these pop-ups throughout the day? The thing I like about Macs is that they usually just work and stay out of the way, so these issues are perturbing.

    Same problem here.
    Yesterday I deleted com.apple.systempreferences from User / Library and it seemed to solve the problem.
    However today the problem is back and deleting that file no longer solves it.
    This affects iCloud and Internet Accounts preference panes.

  • Could not load display preference pane Yosemite

    I had went into my Display window in System Preferences to change the rotation of my screen, upon trying to re-open the Display window, I get the error Could not load display preference pane. Now my screen is stuck upside down and I cannot fix it to save my life. I tried deleting com.apple.systempreferences and the desktop.db and restarting but it doesn't work.
    Please please please help me.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to open the preference pane. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

  • Preferences error - could not load displays preference pane

    My screen resolution changed during game play. Now that the game is off, I cant change it back. This is what the error message says "Preferences Error - Could not load Displays preference pane."

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Could not load iCloud preference pane.

    My calendar is not syncronizing with icloud contacts are just last 2 days. I would also like in increase my storage from my macbook. When I go into preferences icloud I am told  "Could not load iCloud preference pane."
    How do I resolve this. My software is up to date 10,9,1
    Thanks Bruce

    I have a limilar problem.
    I suspect it started after the recent notification from Apple that they are enabled 2 steps verification (i recently received this email from Apple "Two-step verification for Apple ID now requires app-specific passwords".)
    I am unable to check either iCloud or Internet Accounts.
    My Notes Application will crash unexpectedly too, I assume because of the same problem with iCloud.
    Help.
    I need my notes back.

  • Could not load the following distribution specification files

    I am attempting to use LabWindows/CVI 9.0 to creat a distribution package.  At some point in the process something breaks, and then I can make all the changes I want, but CVI will crash when I close it, so none of my changes to the .cds file will get written.  The error on crash-exit is this:
    "Unrecoverable Internal Error at 001b:104FB24C. LabWindows/CVI will be aborted."
    and/or
    "Panel, pop-up, or menu bar handle is invalid"
    And often, when I re-open CVI, it deletes the .cds file and gives me this error:
    "Could not load the following distribution specification files: xxx.cds"
    Please advise,

    I found that everything is fine with the PRJ, CWS, and CDS, *until* I add the automatic "Project Output (Project.exe)" in the "Files" tab of the "Edit Installer" dialog box.
    As a work-around I have added the release .exe as a file in the project, and then I link that file in the "Files" tab.

    Was hoping the 10.5.1 update might fix it, but alas no.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers!

    Now the plot thickens...
    I notice that the version number of my 'SharingPref.prefPane' file is 1.3.1 (dated late 2006). This is odd - since I installed Leopard initially as a clean install (drive erased and formatted before installing). I did experience some instabilities a few days after this clean install, so I then reinstalled, but the second installation was an 'Archive and Install'. I cant see how a file dated 2006 managed to get into the system.
    When I checked the 'Previous Systems' folder created by by the 'Archive and Install' process, the SharingPref.prefPane' file is version 3.0 (dated 27/09/07).
    So this seems to be indicating the possible problem - the 'new' SharingPref.prefPane' file is version 1.3.1 whilst the previous system is version 3.0.
    Is your version of the SharingPref.prefPane' file version 1.3.1 or 3.0?
    Bizarre. I'll investigate further. Any contributions or advice warmly welcomed!
    Can anyone share any light on this?

  • Could not load General preference pane

    Running Mt Lion and when I click on General in the System Preferences I get, "Could not load General preference pane". When I search for the plist..there does not appear to be one. Any ideas...ANYONE?

    Do Finder > Go > Go to Folder and paste this and press Go!
    ~/Library/Preferences
    A window will appear, scroll down until you see this file
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    there may be two of them, drag the one you can to the Trash and reboot, set your System Preferences again, the file was recreated, the original was corrupted if this solution works.
    If not return and/or try these steps
