Energy Saver won't load through System Prefs

I recently upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4 and for some reason the Energy Saver icon will not load in System Prefs. so I can adjust my Sleep timer. I have restarted several times and all of the other Prefs load correctly. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Boot from your Install Disc, holding down the C KEY
1. Select your language
2. From the Menu Bar, select Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Select the HD, click the first aid tab
4. Select Repair Disk. Reboot.
Then from Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, select the HD and Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Energy Saver won't open in System Preferences

    I finally upgraded to Tiger (10.4.11). I want to change my energy saving preferences...specifically to keep my HD from going to sleep (because Tiger decided to override my original settings during install). The problem is that when I choose Energy Saver, I'm informed that 'Energy Saver is loading...', but it never does. The EnergySaver.prefPane file is in its correct location (System>Library>PreferencePanes). 'Get Info' tells me that it's configured to be opened by System Preferences.app. So what the #$@$# is keeping Energy Saver from opening? Not liking Tiger right now.

  • Started loading mavericks on my laptop, won't load the system and cancels out at 49%

    Started loading mavericks on my laptop, won't load the system and cancels out at 49%. Can you help

    All I can suggest is to reinstall Windows, see link below on how to order recovery media for your model. You will have to reinstall Ubuntu after using the recovery media so back up your files to an external drive. You can order HP recovery media below, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

  • Energy saver won't work in OSX 10.4.11

    I have a Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5.
    Energy Saver crashes every time I try to access it in System Preferences even after reinstalling OSX.

    Hello, try this...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions,  then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
    (Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
    Then reboot once more.

  • Energy Saver Options Tab missing from System Preferences Pance

    Recently I upgraded with Combo Update Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my Mac Pro and now I find that I have no Options Tab in the Energy Saver Pane of System Preferences. All the options that used to be available there cannot now be accessed. Sleep\Wake is functioning fine, and I can't remember what settings I had or even used. It has not been critical for me so I rarely check these options. It is possible that the tab disappeared when I applied the latest Security Update a few days ago - I'm not sure. Since the big weekend storm here I want to use the automatic restart after power failure feature that I think lived behind that tab. Thanks for any help.

    I should say that I rarely, if ever, use the lower missing options mentioned above. If I am accessing the Mac Pro from my other local computers I just wake up the Mac Pro. And I can't ever remember wanting my computer to restart after a power failure. If we have a power failure in this area, it is likely to come back on and then just as suddenly go off again. Not a good thing, I would imagine, for delicate electronics. Usually I wait 30 minutes to an hour after the power resumes in my home before powering up any electronic equipment.
    I do wonder why the options disappeared though.

  • Mozilla apps won't load after System Restore from TM

    Alas, a hard disk failure which Apple kindly replaced even though It happened 25 days out of 3-year AppleCare. Thanks!
    New hard disk installed, proceeded to do System restore from TimeMachine and everything went perfectly (as far as I can tell) EXCEPT Firefox and Thunderbird. All the other apps are loading and seem to be working as I would expect (I guess I won't know for sure until I've worked for a few days) but Firefox will not load - the icon bounces in the dock for a couple of seconds and then disappears. Out of curiosity, I tired to load Thunderbird (which I seldom use) and not even the icon appears.
    I am using OS-X 10.5.7 with Firefox 3.0.11
    I have tried deleting the apps and the associated files in Library?Application Support and doing a re-install from a fresh download - same result. I tired restoring the apps from TimeMachine using a restore date one day before the HardDisk failure. Same result. I have used MacTuneUp to repair permission. Same result.
    Any ideas why this is happening? I am most surprised that a fresh install didn't help. And it's interesting that two Mozilla apps are affected. I can live without Thunderbird but Firefox is important as there are some websites that still refuse to open with Safari.

    OK - that was a good suggestion. Firefox and Thunderbird both work when I log is as a guest. Now what should I be looking for on my main account that is blocking the apps from opening? Thanks for the help.
    probably something in their preferences. the most radical thing would be to delete the whole folders /users/usernmae/library/application support/firefox and /users/username/library/thunderbird. or just move those folders to the desktop. then try starting firefox and thunderbird. however, that will wipe all user info in both apps.

  • ITunes Won't Load Following System Update

    I did a System (might have been a Security) Update on my Mac recently and immediately following, I couldn't access iTunes anymore. It just continuously "loading". Finally it will say there is a store error and to try again later. Is anyone having the same problem? Anyone know a solution?

    I think iTunes has lost itself!
    So many different issues,
    Hopefully it will be fixed soon

    Brian:
    I replaced my hard drive in my Powerbook G4 1.25
    I take that to mean that you removed the old HDD and replaced it with a brand new Parallel ATA/IDE 2.5" HDD. Correct?
    and it will not load the operating system
    Do you mean that it will not boot from the install disk? or
    Do you mean that you booted from the install drive disk, formatted your new HDD and installed the OS and now you cannot boot from the installation?
    Here are directions for formatting and for installation:

  • [SOLVED] Games won't load through Steam

    I'm on 32bit and can't run any opengl games through steam recently,
    I don't know whether its after the latest nvidia, steam or xorg upgrades, I just can't pin it down.
    Running Day Of Defeat or Counter-Strike 1.6 I get:
    wine client error:42: write: Bad file descriptor
    ...it freezes and fails to get to the game menu.
    [SOLVED]
    It's a recent steam update that breaks some games:
    Bug 24096 -  08/19/2010 Steam client update breaks many games
    [TEMP FIX 1]
    Start Steam, then rename 'GameOverlayRenderer.dll' to something else, then start game.
    [TEMP FIX 2]
    Taking the above fix into account:
    A rename script, so Steam doesn't download the .dll after every start.
    #!/bin/bash
    export WINEPREFIX=~/games/steam/.wine
    cd ~/games/steam
    wine Steam.exe &
    sleep 4
    mv GameOverlayRenderer.dll GameOverlayRenderer.dll.bak
    wait

  • File won't load through javascript on iPad 2

  • OS Graphics won't load, causing system lag to ungodly ends

    This problem is with the computer listed at the bottom.
    Recently, I've been having a lot of trouble with my computer, but the only lasting problem thus far has been a problem with certain aspects of the OS GUI not working properly, namely drop menus, mouse overs and the dock.
    The blue high-light which follows the mouse cursor in menus does not appear anymore unless I hold down the mouse button; a minor inconvenience, but an annoying one. This is the least serious of the issues.
    Mouse overs do not work at all. This ranges from mouse-overs on buttons for the OS (like what does what in Photoshop) or changing from the pointer to the little hand when hovering links in Safari. A little more serious, IMO, but still just an annoyance at best.
    The dock no longer rises and lowers on its own. To raise it, I need to click near the bottom of the screen to get it to come up and to get it down, same process. This is really frustrating, since often times to get the dock up I will have to inadvertantly click on an application that I don't want to open, wait for the app to open, shut it down, and hope I was quick enough to keep the dock up while doing all of this. Even more annoying is that the text for each application in the dock will get stuck, staying in their places even when the dock is down.
    Last night I tried backing up and doing a complete wipe and reinstall of my start up disk to no avail. The problems persisted even beyond a complete reinstall.
    Any ideas?

    Believe me, I would if I could. But all of my $$$ goes to college right now, and a wedding...in other words, right now isn't a good time for my poor little B&W to poop out on me
    Besides, most all of my work is Photoshop editing and writing, which isn't all that CPU intensive, so 800 mhz g3 is more than enough, at least, with the RAM I have it is.

  • Energy Saver Freezes System Preferences

    I am unable to put my G5 Power Mac to Sleep. I have attempted to make adjustments through Energy Saver but any changes freezes System Preferences. The spinning wheel begins and I need to Force Quit System Preferences. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

    Hi, I have the same problem as you.

  • I DELETED MY ENERGY SAVER FROM SYSTEM PREFERENCES !!! HELP!!!!!!

    Today while checking out my new leopard operating system, I noticed how in the finder window there is a history option on the left. At first I thought it was just like internet history and I was just clearing the list. I trashed it....and now my ENERGY SAVER is gone from my system preferences. I accidentally deleted it without realizing it. Does anyone know how this can be recovered!?!?

    OK, well in that case you must have lost everything that was listed in the smart folder. See the following about file recovery:
    Basics of File Recovery
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
