My mail system does not load image automatically

my mail system does not load image automatically. how does that happen? what should i do to set the image load configuration?

Although you can configure Mail to load HTML images automatically, you should think twice about doing it. The sender of the message could determine your email address, your IP address, and when you opened his message. Not what you want if you get spam, as most people do.

System.framework (not loaded) when trying to run Photoshop

Photoshop CS3 always hangs on startup. Looking at the console error messages I see the hang has the following message:
"Cannot find executeable for CFBundle 0x1d510350 </System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework> (not loaded)"
Anyone know what this is about or how to fix it?

I would try reinstalling Photoshop, since I know for a fact that you must have a System.framework, which contains critical system components.

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

Tab bar icons are not loading. (bookmarks bar icons ARE)

In the last week (or so, I don't know exactly when this started happening) the icons on my tab bar started first of all, not refreshing - if I loaded a site onto a tab that had previously been showing a favicon the new icon wouldn't load - and then not loading at all.
I have a desktop PC and a laptop, both running Windows 7, both were running Firefox 4 but I've just upgraded the laptop to 5 to see if that fixed the problem. it didn't. I've tried Check Places, deleted places.sqlite - places.sqlite-journal wasn't there so I couldn't delete that; checked browser.chrome.favicons;true
browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size;1024
browser.chrome.site_icons;true
which were all OK.

Firefox Help already had an answer for me - should have looked better: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_icons-missing-in-the-bookmarks-menu
IT WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!!! THANK YOU!

Operating system does not load up?

When I turn my mac (2009) on it shows the grey loading screen but does not load up the operating system?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

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

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

Synching Photo Tab for Iphone will not load in iTunes

Hi. I cannot get the photo tab to open (it is available as a choice) in itunes 11, when my phone is connected. I am running Mavericks with an Iphone 5 with current iOS.
I get the spinning wheel for hours with no activity, when I click on the tab. All other synching functions working properly.
There are no photos on my iphone to synch at this time, however I would like to synch some from iPhoto. Prior to the issue, I did have photos synching fine. I may have increased the issue by renaming the album that Iphone was directed to synch from in iPhoto. However, it was also directed to synch some faces, and that information has not changed. I am wondering if all this has to do with the mavericks upgrade and also upgrading iphoto and iphoto library subsequently. There are no photos or albums showing on the phone.
Any ideas? Much apprecaited.

I have tried all the this -with no success
I am using OSX 10.9.2 all devices IOS 7.1 , iTunes 11.1.5
iPad mini ,IPhone 5 etc. The photo tab does not load up
I get the spinning wheel with no activity, when I click on the tab. All other synching functions working properly
did get error 1723 on trying to sync after clicking on the photos tab,"spinning wheel"
please help
Tks

System Prefs not showing all disks

It's been some time since I backed up and I've just copied over to my Lacie 500 drive the contents of my main drive. On checking with Startup Drive in System Prefs I note that I don't see the Lacie nor my second HD which I use with FCP editing content. (I was going to treat my Lacie to being the startup Drive as a test). What I have sshowing is the normal HD startup drive and Network Startup showing. No second HD nor the Lacie. In About This Mac, no Lacie drive is showing.
What have I cocked up, if anything?

I'm wondering why mine now aren't! I've cocked up something and maybe the drives need validating?
I thought this was answered. You copied over the contents of your internal either by dragging or using copy and paste. Startup Disc is looking for volumes that will boot the computer; that's why it's called "startup..." I'm beginning to think your drives were never bootable and therefore, never available in Startup Disc.
You can continue using these drives as data drives by dragging things over, but if you want a bootable drive -- and this can be very useful if your internal ever fails, and be up and running right away, or if the internal, startup Volume starts to show serious problems, in which case you can always do a reverse clone from a healthy external back to the internal -- you need to make a clone.
There are two distinct ways you have of creating a bootable, i.e. startup copy of your Internal. You can use Restore from Disc Utility, or, generally much more practical, you can use a cloning application.
There are several; the one I use, which is excellent and is freeware, is Carbon Copy Cloner. Once you do the initial clone, CCC offers the option of doing incremental backups. This will keep the clone looking exactly like the internal (or, since it's a MacPro, secondary drive.)
There is lots of documentation about using CCC and help for getting started at the site.
http://www.bombich.com/
You need to start from a clean, properly Formatted (this is done from the Partitioning area of DU) drive. See this about Formatting. (You have to find out if your MacPro is PPC or Intel. PPC will be Formatted APM (Apple Partition Map) and Intel will be Formatted GUID. For that, look in the Apple Menu> About this Mac>More info> Processor.) Note that Formatting will erase all the data currently on the drive.

System prefs not recognizing Mighty Mouse

I am working on a G5 1.6 Ghz 17" iMac, and have a Mighty Mouse... the mouse scrolls and I can use the right click feature, but system prefs will not recognize the mighty mouse, so I cannot configure it. Nothing happens when I squeeze the side buttons, either.
In system prefs, it just shows the screen for the normal mouse. I thought this was weird, so I plugged the mouse into an old G3 (400Mhz) PowerMac. It worked fine, and system prefs ran fine, there. Both machines are running on 10.4.2.
Any clues would be appreciated!!

It didn't come with a CD – it just came with one of the new G5s that my company ordered, and the IT person gave the mouse to me to use on my G5.

Quictime 7 update system pref not staying on

Can anyone confirm for me the following?
Under system prefs, quicktime, whenever you check mark on, under 'updates',
"check for updates automatically," it stays checkmarked until you close out system prefs. When you go back in, it is unchecked.
Thanks,
Darren

and you are referring to the "check for updates automatically" under the "update" tab in the quicktime system prefs, correct?
Wow, I just wiped my HD and started from scratch, I was hoping it wasn't something I did.
ANYONE else to confirm the issue would be great!! That way, Julie and I know we just didn't have the same problem.
Thanks Julie for replying.

Keyboard pane in System Preferences not loading.

My keyboard pane, seemingly randomly, does not load. All other system preferences load.
I've tried:
Rebooting the Computer
Rebooting and zapping PRAM
Ran some terminal commands (I think?)
Repaired disk permissionsBTW, I see this line in Disk Utlitity: Open error 18446744073709551594: “Unknown error: -22” on System/Library/PreferencePanes/Keyboard.prefPane/Contents/Resources/English.lpr oj/Keyboard.nib
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4.
Please help! I just want to use my function keys!

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
If you ever have another problem with the internal drive, it should be replaced immediately.

Sidebar items and some system prefs not synched

does anyone know how to get sidebar items synched? I explicitly synch sidebar.plist (deleted it in Apple's predefined exclusions) and BezelServices.plist - but without success.
Also annoyingly not synching: the system prefs for the keyboard menu, the screen saver prefs and the synch menu item.
Thanks for any idea to solve this.

check your ~/Library sync, remember this is not synced in the background most of these files are in use.
Do you have a login or logout sync rule?

System Does not Load, Fans Spins Non Stop, Blank Screen.

So i have a Quad Core 3Ghz with the ATI Radeon X1900 512MB ram.
I also have 2GB of internal ram and 2 more purchased 3rd party, totally of 4GB.
I have had my computer for about 3 months now i am guessing since the first week it came out. About 2 weeks ago i noticed my monitor would go out, i thought it was the monitor. Up until it started when i would start up the computer. The Fans inside would non stop spin and the OS would not Load up the Screen was still Black and not turning on but the power light was on and fans spinning. it would do this to a few other monitors as well. I did apples Hardware Test, 5 times, the extended one and nothing found, no errors. it does it with Apples Ram that i got and with just the 3rd party ram as well with out the apple ram.
I dont know if its the Graphics card because it seems to be cutting off the computer all together. when i am using it sometimes it will just go out on me. the computer light will be on like its on but the screen is out. i also was in mid chat with friends and the would not get my message hoping it was the Graphics card but it seems like it shuts down the whole system.
So yes, i have to restart it about 6 or 7 times for it to get past that Fan Spinning Non Stop stage then it clicks into gear and works. Every morning it works like that. same routine for over a week now.
Any clue as to what it would be? like the mother board or Power supply, i dont know how the power supply would stop the OS from loading and fans spinning but i am at a loss?

Mac Pro came out in August '06. This is the 8-core model?
The ATI Radeon can 'suffocate' if the air intakes on the cooling chamber of the graphics card become clogged with dust and unable to cool the card down. Needs to be cleaned from time to time.
Did you do an SMC Reset?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
Have you been using Hardware Monitor / Temperature Monitor to check on the temperatures of RAM, drives, cpu, etc?
Regular maintenance with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior to repair the drive?
An emergency boot drive?
when you boot from the DVD does it work normal? have you repaired the boot drive from DVD (lacking an emergency boot drive)? How about a clean install on another drive?
Some people use v. 2.1 of smcFanControl to force the fans to run slightly higher to insure that RAM and video card don't overheat.
How is the wall current and circuit? what else shares that circuit? are you on a UPS? (I wouldn't be without one and Mac Pro needs 1200VA.

Why does most of the "system preferences" not load due to having an intel based mac?

I used to be able to access ALL of the items in "system preferences". Since the upgrade to Mavericks, which the Apple Store did for me, I cannot use most of them. It won't load my printer information. I cannot access security and privacy, users and accouts, parental controls, etc. Sometimes a window pops up and says "Preference Error" could not load.....pane. Or it will say "Preference Error" (and something like) cannot load ....... because it's an intel based mac. What the heck does that mean and why does it say that when I used to be able to access everything in the "System Preferences"? Please help! I'm sooooo frustrated and confused right now.

Since the upgrade to Mavericks
In order to get the correct troubleshooting suggestions, please, please pretty please, correct/update your system profile. Thank you
