Desktop and Screensaver Preference Pane not loading

First hiccup with Yosemite. Under System Preferences, Desktop and Screensaver Preference Pane will not open, saying "Could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane."
Desktop is solid Aqua. Have removed Preferences, rebuilt Permissions and reinstalled OS X in Recovery Mode, but no go. Does the same in Safe Mode yet is fine in a New User Account. I have Little Snitch updated and have tried turning it off. No different. Any suggestions? Not causing any annoyance but just wondering why it refuses to load.
Thanks in advance

Three thoughts...
Any user installed screen savers?  ~/Library/Screen Savers
Do you have a saved app state you could remove for system preferences?  ~/Library/Saved Application State
Try creating an empty iPhoto Library for a test.  Open iPhoto while holding Option.
1. Yes. Removed now but no go
2. Removed. No difference
3. iPhoto works fine

  • Desktop and Screensaver preferences will not open

    Whenever I go to open the Desktop & Screen Saver pane in System Preferences, it won't work and I get the message "Preferences Error: Could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane." If anyone could provide me with information on how to fix this that would be great. Thank you!!

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
    Look for these two files.
    com.apple.desktop.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Right click each  one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
    Restart the computer.

  • Could not load desktop and screensaver preferences pane

    That is the message that I have been getting when I try to load this pane (and only this pane). This has been going on ever since I tried to change my desktop photo a couple of days ago. The desktop is now a blank blue, showing neither the old photo nor the new. I have restarted the computer (13" MacBook Retina running 10.1.1), implemented the fixes suggested in the archives, including deleting com.apple.screensaver.plist and some others, used Disk Utility to repair permissions, and finally reinstalled Yosemite, all to no avail. That last is particularly puzzling—unless when you download and "install" the current OS when your OS is already current, the installer notes this fact and actually does nothing to the old installation. I note that in the second phase of installation, after I got a progress bar indicating that 7 minutes remained, it finished in a minute or less (did it skip the actual installation process because it saw that the OS was current?) and presented me with exactly the same windows that were open when I launched the OS X installer. Clearly some part of the machine state was carried over from the previous session to the post-install session, and I infer that a fault in the state of the OS was preserved as well, leaving the preferences pane unable to load.
    What's the problem?
    Does it have a simple fix?
    If not, can I fix it with a true reinstallation of the OS?
    Can I accomplish this without reformatting my drive or otherwise losing the good stuff that's on the drive?
    Thanks!

  • Issue with "Desktop and Screensaver" preference pane

    Hey guys,
    In my desktop prefs where i change my desktop wallpaper, everytime i add a new folder to select pictures from, they always add as "aperture projects" and it loads my aperture library. How can i reset this and use an actual folder??? If i delete the following preference
    User/Library/Preference/com.apple.iApps.plist
    then it fixes the problem for the time being, until i open aperture again, then back tot he way it was.

    Anyone have an idea?

  • Beachball When I Access Desktop and Screensaver Preferences

    This is strange. When I try to access Desktop and Screensaver Preferences in System Preferences, I get a beachball after a few seconds. The D and S Pref window shows up at first but there is nothing showing for either the current desktop or the current screensaver, and clicking on anything hastens the appearance of the beachball. I then have to force quit System Preferences.
    All other items in System Preferences seem to be working OK. The only other oddity I have noticed is that downloaded files do not appear directly on top of my Macintosh HD icon on my Desktop (like they always had), but they appear on the Desktop in another nearby location.
    I have logged out and in, restarted, repaired permissions, verified disk and even reinstalled the Combo 10.4.11 updater. I have also trashed com.apple.desktop. plist, all without success.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Steve M.

    Thanks for responding baltwo. After puzzling over my problem, I finally arrived at the idea that somehow the screensaver I was using had developed a problem. So I pulled my WorldBook 2003 screensaver to the Desktop and logged out and back in and lo and behold my Screensaver Preferences worked as normal!
    Since my WorldBook installation is not very current, I suppose there may be conflicts of some sort with 10.4.11 (of course I don't know for sure when this problem started).
    I guess I could put the WorldBook screensaver back in place and try deleting the prefs you suggested and see what happens. I'm a little leery of deleting systempreferences prefs for fear of losing a bunch of my settings. Since I don't really need the WB screensaver I may just leave it out permanently.
    By the way, what exactly is meant by the ByHost preferences?
    Thanks,
    Steve M.

  • Can't access Desktop and Screensaver Preferences

    Hello,
    I have had my macbook for 3 months and absolutely love it. I just have one problem which has occurred over the last couple or days.
    When I go into the System Preferences folder I cannot access the Desktop and Screensaver Preferences. And instead of the regular icon for this, there is the System Preferences icon and the letters are jumbled below the icon.
    I've searched through this forum to find a solution and have followed the following steps, to no avail:
    I've checked for software update but my computer is updated
    Have used Disk Repair using startup disk, but no errors found
    Downloaded and ran Yasu, to clear check and clear caches
    Deleted apple.com.screensaver.xxx.plist - in Home/library/Preferences/Byhost
    Finally, I attempted to delete com.apple.preferencepanes.cache, and also com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindex.cache, but they always reappear in the Cache folder, no matter if I move them to desktop and delete them, or just put them straight in the Trash.
    This all sounds really longwinded, sorry if it's unnecessarily long. I hope someone is able to help!
    Cheers.

  • Desktop and Screensaver preferences don't work;

    Desktop and Screensaver Preferences worked perfectly until the latest update, 10. 5. 7 were installed.
    I tried every suggestion and approach to solve this problem, nothing worked. So I reinstalled 10 .5
    and it works perfectly again. What changes were made in the 10.5.7 combo that would cause this problem? J. Weigel

    They work fine on my computers also.
    If it occurs again, see if it also happens in a newly created User Account. If it doesn't, there is probably a corrupt preference file. If that's the case, return to your usual User account and remove all the .plist files with screensaver or desktop in them from the folder
    Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
    including any .plist files in the ByHost folder in that Preferences folder.
    If it does occur in another Users Account, you will probably need to do an Archive & Install from the install disk.

  • Security and Privacy Preferences pane cannot load

    My mac says the security and privacy preferences pane cannot load. How do I access this pane? I just got my logic board replaced last week from Apple, if that helps.

    I understand that you are unable to open Security & Privacy from System Preferences. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would first suggest testing this situation out in a new user to help isolate the issue. Please let me know if the issue continues in a new user account.

  • Desktop and Screensaver Preferences Freezes!

    I added wallpapers folder to the desktop and screensaver sidebar then I moved the folder to a different place,
    Now, when I open the Desktop and Screensaver, it freezes all the time.
    I tried to delete the files under libarary but i could not find any of them.
    I rebuilt iPhoto, but it was not the problem.
    Thanks

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • Desktop and Screensaver preferences crashes upon opening it...

    hi,
    recently for no reason whenever i try to go to desktop and screensaver option in the system preferences it crashes automatically and means i have to force quit it. Its very odd. Is there a way to stop it doing this?
    thanks

    Hello t:
    recently for no reason whenever i try to go to desktop and screensaver option in the system preferences it crashes automatically and means i have to force quit it.
    If it crashes, there should not be a force quit required. What do you see in the crash logs?
    In any event, try trashing a preference file (com.apple.systempreferences.plist) and restarting.

  • Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file  "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

    Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit.  Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
    "Error reading/writing file
    “com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
    Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
    The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
    "The Preferences are not loaded completely.
    Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
    Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
    "The Preferences are not loaded completely.
    Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
    There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
    I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
    I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem.  If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done?  I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created.  I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done.  Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything?  I'm using Logic Pro 8.
    Thank you

    You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
    Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

  • Location Service in security and privacy preference pane not saved

    Hi,
    When I want to activate the location service inside the security and privacy preference pane, it is not save. I can check the box but if I leave the pref pane, and come back, it is still uncheck.
    I notice that when I wanted to activate the icloud feature: localized my mac. Thus, it's not working due to my pref in privacy pane not saved.
    I notice as well that in safari, there is a location option as well, and I can't activate it, like iCloud feature due to my pref in privacy always unchecked.
    I tried to repair the authorization of my disk a couple of times
    Is someone experiencing the same issue ?

    The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us (Apple users) from speculating about why Apple does or does not take certain actions.
    I can't tell you why it is the way it is.  But I can say you could go a long way to alleviating your concern by going to System Preferences > Energy Saver and changing the sleep time such that your computer goes to sleep nearly immediately after you stop using it.  Then even if you forget to log off, your computer will very quickly go to sleep and require a password.

  • HT1557 I have lion installed on my mac.  My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences, will not load.  Everything else, seems to be okay.  Any suggestions?

    I have Lion installed on my mac.  My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences will not load.  I have to Force close it, after it's been open.  I know that I
    can change my desktop pic, by clicking "change my desktop, but I would like to understand what made it freeze up like that.  All I get is that thing that looks like a piece of candy.  From there, it does nothing.  The rest of the system preferences work fine.  It's like its caught in a loop of some kind.  I would appreciate any help that I can get.  Thanks.

  • System Preferences not loading Desktop and Screensaver

    Every time I load the system preferences panel it loads fine but when I go to the desktop and screensaver settings it locks up and won't load anything so I have to force quit, if I wait it gives me the error window: system preferences quit unexpectedly, and asks if I want to reload. How do I fix this? I've restarted my computer several times and I've gone through and made sure all software updates were installed in case that was an issue.

    Try running +repair disk+ from your *software install DVD* and afterwards, run +repair permissions+ *from your HD.*
