Hi, does anyone know how to restore the System Preferences back in Mavericks. I had a system failure, did a restore, and now no system prefs. It all works apart from that. Thank you
Hi, hope someone can help, I am not Mac savvy. I had a system failure for some reason, and did a complete restore from a backup drive, and now no System Preferences. I had since also had the backup disk fail, so no other backups to work from. I am currently trying to restore these with a file salvage software.
The system runs fine, but, I cant change anything in the preferences. The PrefPane list is still there in the same file PreferencePanes. Thank You
System below
OSX Mavericks, Intel 24inch 2009, 8Gig Ram, 1 TB HD
But, If I boot it from the DVD using the R Button will that work?
No.
Will I Ihave to start from Snow Leopard?
Hopefully not.
Here's the thing: your Mac is older and I do not know if it has the updated firmware so you actually have a recovery partition (part of every OS since Snow Leopard - takes the place of install DVDs).
So, you can test that: choose restart from the File menu and when you hear the bong, immediately hit Command + R. If you get a grey screen with one window on it like this:
If you see this, choose to reinstall OS X and it should install the current system.
If your regular desktop appears, then you don't have a recovery and will need to start from the Snow leopard DVD (insert CD, choose restart and hold down C key) and then reinstall from there. You won't need Lion - just update Snow Leopard and then re-download Mavericks.

I have a late-2011 13-inch MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite. (Standard configuration).
My problem is that I downloaded a fan control application and it worked perfectly, but it started to get annoying so I deleted it.
Does anyone know how to reset the fan speed back to factory settings (Maybe a command in terminal?)Hello damo1177,
It should help to reset your system's SMC and NVRAM.

Does anyone know how to manage the hotspot connections?
Does anyone know how to manage the hotspot connections? Is there a way to see who is connected, disconnect a particular user, etc.? All I can see is the blue bar announcing the number of of connections.
I should have phrased that better. I have multiple devices connected at the same time, sometimes I want to disconnect one only 1 of them. To do this I need to go to the device and disconnect or turn off the device. Is there a way I can disconnect selected devices on the phone? Not so much a matter of knowing who/what is connected, rather having control of these individual connections from the phone. Is this possible?

I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s. It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone. They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone. Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back? Thanks!
I updated via my iPhone 4s. The apps were on my iPhone 4s. That's all the information that I have. The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc. But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts. No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc. They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone. Thanks.

Hi All
Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
Many ThanksHoly crap, this fixes the issue. At least temporarily it has. I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along. I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago. Thank you, tbirdvet. You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?
I basically managed to learn how to invert parameters which allows me to be as default in the clean guitar channel and if I switch the first button on the midi foot controller I switch to crunch, but at this point I tryied so hard to programm the second and third button to switch, only through a button in one step, to a third channel for distorsion or a 4th channel for solo guitar but I couldn't figured out how this work can be done!
I would appreciate if anyone could help or share this experience with others who are experiencing the same problem.
Cheers.
F.I cannot seem to get mainstage to recognize my FCB either. I am using IFCB. Anyone figure this out?
Thanks,

please does anyone knows how to delete the "others" on the iphone becuase it take me a lot of spaace and i cant have anything i have 5 GB of othres coan some one help me please?
If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup.

Does anyone know how to calculate the impedance using waveforms
does anyone know how to calculate the impedance using waveforms?

the waveforms represent the voltage and current values across a capacitive load. I am trying to find out if there is a way to do automatic calculations using the inputs from the waveforms
Hopefully a single sinusoid tone. Otherwise things get really interesting. Also know that impedance is based on the frequency. I'll have to dig into this again. I have not had to calculate an impedance in well over 10 years.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions
