Error message in System Prefs Screen Saver/Desktop

: When I try to open Screen Saver or Desktop Prefs, I get "There was a problem connecting to the server 'iDisk.mac.com'". I have a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion.  How can I change the prefs, and stop getting the annoying message that again pops up as soon as I click "OK"?

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.

  • Odd system prefs: screen saver behavior

    I don't understand why, but it seems that now most of the albums in my screen saver pane do not load correctly. Some load with correct photos and photos from other albums. Others only read as having the same two photos. What is going on?

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    Check and make sure that you can visit http:[server]/reports, for the reporting server.  Does that work?  If yes, I would make sure your DB has the APPSET_EXTRA database in addition to the APPSET in SQL DB.  Also, when you process the Applications, via MOdify (full process), does it fail on step 8?
    I have seen this before and it seems to be related to getting the structure correct for the Reports and reporting services.  Hope this helps.

  • Error message "The system cannot find the file specified." when reinstalling C3180 drivers

    Hello,
    I experienced scanning problems with my C3180 and the error message indicated several solutions, including to reinstall the driver.
    I worked my way through the list of fixes to this option.  I uninstalled the drivers, downloaded
    File name:
    AIO_CDA_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe [1/1, 290.27M]
    from www.hp.com/support and attempted to install.
    Just after the accept licensing screen, the system begins a screen with four steps, the first of which is Checking System.  Shortly after starting this, I receive the error message "The system cannot find the file specified.".  The file name may be in the message header, but I cannot determine it due to the path length.  It is off the displayed screen.  (see screen image capture)
    Closing the pop-up error message or clicking OK terminates the installation.
    I am re-installing on a Dell Latitude E6510, running Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64 bit.  The printer was connected via USB, but I have disconnected for this stage of the install.
    I appreciate any assistance/advice you can offer.

  • I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.

    I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.

    Reinstall iPhoto.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Find out what that third party software the kext file belongs to and update or use the developers method to uninstall the third party software responsible for it.
    I suspect it's a iTunes extension perhaps?
    You also can use the manual method of Finder > Go > Computer and opening your drive, then your  System/Library/Extensions folder and looking for the file and moving it out onto the desktop, you will need to be in Admin user and use your password, then reboot to clear the random access memory. However this method doesn't remove the parent program you still need to do that.
    How to uninstall/install software on your Mac
    The kext file wasn't loaded, so it's not running, but removing it from the Extensions folder or uninstalling what put it there will solve your notification problem as that's all it appears to be.

  • Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7.  It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified

    Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7.  It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified.I
    I have tried unistalling the current version I had which was 10.6.3, defragging and running a security scan. Now, the highest version I can get is 10.4.1. for some reason I cannot dowload itunes 10.5 or higher as it gives me the same message which is what I need to connect and update my iphone.  Anyone facing the same issue or can point me in the right direction?

    You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:
    iPhone
    It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than  just "G4" will get you help faster.

    For this, i have used the user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE. But the problem is system throwing error message and all r in display mode only. as per my requirement system should allow to change the error value field.

    Hi
    You need to use check for enahcement spot, which will be help to you.
    Bcz you are throwing custom error message in the standard transaction, once the error is display, you could not able to change the values. your prob can be solved by using the enhancement sport.
    This is include name (Include:MV45AF0B_BELEG_SICHERN).
    In the above include, you need to create a enhancement spot after this spot (ENHANCEMENT 16  OI0_COMMON_SAPMV45A.)  
    write your custom code and while displaying an error message. set flag = 'x', then use below code. It will display error message once you press ENTER, you will get the sale order in change mode, you change the values.
      IF flag = 'X'.
              fcode = fcode_gleiche_seite.
              perform fcode_bearbeiten.
              ch_subrc = 4.
              exit.
            ENDIF.

  • The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

    H,
    Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
    Event 1001
    Op Code NLS initialization
    The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
    We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now. 
    I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
    How do we ascertain the  cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

    Hi,
    This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.

  • I keep getting an error message re: System Extensions

    Almost every time that I run Software Update or when Norton runs its automatically scheduled scan, I keep getting an error message saying, "System extension cannot be used. The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/IomegaSAM.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update." I've also been having problems with Safari, in that when I've had a browser window open for a while and use it to go to different websites, etc., after I've gone to 2 or 3 websites it will then act like it's "stuck" and it won't do anything else until I close the window, quit out of Safari, and start it up again. Then it will be fine and work for a while, until it does the same thing...again.
    Are these items somehow related, and how do I fix this?
