Please help
Note the difference between the path Neil suggested and the one you wrote, try again.

Where did Ink preference pane go?

I connected a tablet (Adesso CyberTable 12000) to my OS X Tiger and a new preference pane called Ink appeared and the tablet was auto-detected and worked fine as a mouse (absolute mode).
Then I made the mistake of installing Adesso OS X drivers. These gave me the ability to adjust pen pressure at the cost of not being able to work with a dual monitor setup. The pointer couldn't move to the other screen at all.
So I decided to uninstall the driver hoping that OS X would revert back to the original. Well, not really. The tablet stopped working completely and the Ink preference pane disappeared totally.
So now I am stuck with the reinstalled Adesso driver and limited to a tablet that only functions on the main screen.
Any idea how to get the Ink preference pane back and revert to the original, generic OS X driver?
(Alternatively any solution that makes the Adesso driver work dual-screen would work too ).
Thanks in advance!

LOL came here looking for the same thing, not mater what i do it only works on 1 monitor and after installing the drivers inkwell does not work

Installation of Preferences Pane on remote Server OSX fails

On an OSXServer mini which I connect to with RDC, I am unable to install any Preference Pane programs such as Slink or Squeeze.
I have full admin access to that machine, it's a dedicated database server, nothing exotic running on it, latest OS10.6.4, but I get the message;
"You can't open the xxx Preferences Pane because it is not available to you at this time. To see this preference pane, you may need to connect a device to your computer."
There is no mouse or screen connected to this mini, RDC access only.
The PrefPane icons become visible but remain greyed out.
Remote Management is activated in the ServerAdmin.
A very similar configuration hosted elsewhere gives no problem. Same settings, same RDC access, same OS.
At this point I'm at a loss. Clues anyone?
TIA,
Peter

The problem isn't the filesystem per se. It's bad software quality if pathnames defined wrong or multiple times with different notation. Often there is only one or two letters with the wrong upper or lower case. I guess in the current Flash installer this is the case. With the previous versions I had no problems.

My Mini isn't case sensitive, so I can't really say but I had two iMacs when I worked at Intuit that were case sensitive and they had all kinds of software installation issues. One of the Mac developers at Mountain View told me that Case Sesnitive shouldn't be chosen as a format except when a system is isolated and used as a testing server. For a workstation or home computer, it's a terrible choice for a setup.

Processor Preferences Pane

I am running a new MBP 2.3 GHz with 10.6.7 and just installed the XCode/Developer Kit as well as Onyx, but it didn't work to install the "Processor Preferences Pane". First I couldn't find the respective file on my machine (as I knew it from my earlier Macs), so I went the way thru Onyx, but it still doesn't work and Onyx keeps saying "Load Error. The Developer Tools (XCode) are required to install this Preference Pane."
Does anybody have the same problem but also a solution?

It shows up now but it says I have an Intel Pentium III Processor. That's not right. It's a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.

How to uninstall new preference panes from system preferences?

I recently got a new mouse from Logitech, and I installed the downloadable drivers to take advantage of some of the extra features. However, it doesn't work well at all, and it's added a new preference pane titled "Logitech Control Center" that completely overrides my preferences in the "Keyboard and Mouse" settings. Does anyone know how to uninstall new preference panes that are not factory-installed? I noticed that I can right-click the Logitech Control Center icon, and an option comes up for me to "Remove the preference pane," but I'm not sure if this will simply remove the icon from System Preferences without actually uninstalling anything. If anyone can give me some help I'd greatly appreciate it!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It will only remove the pref pane but will not uninstall anything.
I'm not familiar with the Logitech software, but I'd use Spotlight to search for it and delete whatever whatever you find. Or, better yet or use Logitech support.

Fresh 10.4 install - missing Classic preference pane

Just did a fresh install of 10.4 on a PPC eMac and the Classic Preference Pane is missing in System Prefs. Need to get it back as we use Classic for a few things. What am I missing here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi prefuse13!
Exactly which model eMac is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
What was the original version of OS X, that was pre-installed, when the eMac was manufactured?
Was Tiger 10.4.x previously installed on the eMac?
If so, was the Classic preference pane available?
When you performed the Erase & Install, which system disc was used, the original system disc, or the Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD?

How to upgrade Energy preference pane?

Hey,
So, you know the Energy preference pane that let's you switch between the two graphics chips?
I don't seem to have that. I'm still stuck with the generic version. I'm guessing this is an artifact of my carbon copy restore from my previous laptop? In any case, I was wondering if there's a way to manually upgrade the preference pane -- or tell the system to probe itself for goodies.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

kasey_junk,
I'm going to go further than eww's reply: Format (erase) your internal hard drive, then reinstall OS X from the "Software Restore" disks that came with the new Macbook Pro. This problem with the Energy Saver preference pane is just one problem you will encounter when attempting to run an OS from an earlier model. Save yourself the headaches, and install the one and only build of OS X that is designed to operate on your new Macbook Pro; namely, the one that is provided on its machine-specific Software Restore disks.
If you need advice on how to migrate your data from the older installation, we can provide that.

Preference pane problem after installing Tiger

Hi
I made a mistake: I put this post on another forum (iTunes !) so I start again here and edit it.
sorry for this lengthy post !
Hello
I upgraded 2 days ago to Tiger via Erase and Install. I was very nervous but I had no problem with the upgrade itself. The Set up assistant brought back my files from my back up on FWdrive and everything seems to be fine. I followed the "take control of upgrading to Tiger" step by step. I have not yet restored missing files as it is advised but I really don't know what to restore !
When I went through the Preference system, the panes all worked fine except the "desk and screen saver" pane, which behaves strangely: it opens and immediately crashes. A dialogue appears with 3 choices: "close/report or open again" (in this order). I choose "open again" and the same happens when I select the "desk and screen saver".
But, this time, another dialogue appears with "close/ retry/report" (in this order). I choose "retry" this time and the whole Preference system reappears… in japanese !
I live in Japan but I am french so my system is in french. Now, with the Pref Sys in japanese it works when I click on the desk and sreen saver pane, but I don't have anymore my selection of pictures for the desk (of course I can get them back from my pictures). When I close it I get a message (in english): "new settings have been created for this application. Do you wish to use these settings from now on ? "
choice is: use new settings / use original settings.
I tried both. But this pane crashes again after I open it (in french and not in japanese) from the Apple menu or the icon on the side as usual.
It is not a life threatening situation but it is bothering if I have to go through the whole circus each time I want to change the picture of my desk !
other anomalies:
the Iphoto and iMovie applications do the same.
the Quick Time Player does not open at all.
the iTunes app tells me that the files cannot be read because they were created with a later version of iTunes (the install DVD of Tiger is for Tiger 10.4.6 and the iTunes version is 6.0.4. But I had updated my iTunes while I was using OSX 10.3.9 and I have the 7.6 version on my back up). I guess updating the OS will be enough to fix this ?!
last thing (but not the least): when I want to add an URL to my favorites the favorites window doesn't open. "Show all the favorites" and "add a new file" work though.Do I need another kind of manipulation with Tiger ?!
I have been through all the applications, including in the Utilities folder and they are the only ones that don't work.
I'm considering downgrading and performing a simple upgrade (but in that case, I might again have trouble with iTunes, no?)
tell me if my conclusions are right:
during the upgrading, somehow some files necessary for some applications were not transfered and when I want to open these apps the computer goes back to the original language when I first bought it (japanese).
I could still use them in japanese but it is not very confortable for me and I really would like to have the french or english version of the same app !
I hope someone will shed some light on this !
thanks
parupano

ok. One by one:
1- i'll try re-installing iPhoto and iMovie. But you did not tell me if it was enough to just bring the application to the trash or if I had to look somewhere else…
2- QT: there is no pkg in the /Library/receipts !
but there are many QT "things":
QTPlayer app in /applications/QTPlayer app.
QTUpdater in /system/library/QT (together with many components)
QTPlayer in /applications(mac OS 09) /QT/QTPlayer
QTUpdater in /applications(mac OS 09)/QT/QTUpdater
_in japanese:_
QTtm settings in /system folder/control panel/QTtmsetting (classic)
QTExtension in /system folder/extension/QTextension
3 - I looked in /System/library/PreferencePanes and there are 2 aliases:
ScreenSaver.prefPane: type: alias 4KB
Internet.prefPane type: alias
but DesktopScrennEffectsPref.pefPane is like all the other panes: type: Mac OSX preferences panel
does "alias" means that they are not really there ? what should I do ?
4 - no Safari extension or helper. QT is indicated for the Preference Pane, so you were right.
well, what do you make of all this ?
for me, one thing is sure: I'm learning a lot about computer !
thanks again for your time, I'm waiting for your answer.

How can I delete old (non-active) email accounts that don't show in the Accounts Preferences pane?

Since I (reluctantly) abandoned MobileMe and switched to iCloud, when I use Mail Connection Doctor because a problem is indicated with one or more of my email acocunts, it shows both iCloud IMAP and Me.com SMTP accounts. The iCloud account is fine but the SMTP acount has a red button against it.
So Connection Doctor shows the old SMTP account always failing to connect (of course - as it's been abandoned). However, this account does not show up in the Accounts Preferences pane so I am not able to delete it. This also happens with another account which I deleted in the Preferences pane some time ago.
How can I stop these phantom accounts appearing in Connection Doctor? It's very irritating to constantly have faults indicated which apply to abandoned accounts.
Thanks people!

Go to your iCloud account in Preferences>Accounts. Set the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' drop-down menu to 'Edit SMTP server list'. Then:
Set the server name as shown here. Then click the Advanced tab and check the settings.
If you are still having problems, you could start the setup again from scratch. Assuming that your signature is correct and you are running Leopard, delete any iCloud or MobileMe accounts in the list and then follow the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

HT1461 Using a G5. I've installed windows 7. However, no sound. My copy of Lion 10.7.4 is a download (I have an install usb). How do I install the service preferences for windows 7?

Using a G5 with Lion 10.7.4. Using boot camp have installed windows 7 in an equal partition and it appears to be running alright. Problem--no sound.
My Lion install was from a online download. Since then have made a bootable usb. How do I install the windows service preferences from Lion?

Not on a G5 because a G5 is a PPC machine and won't run anything past Leopard.

Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences,how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro?

Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences, how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro when directions say to click on iCloud icon in System Pref. ?

Read the system requirements for iCloud. It is not compatible with Snow Leopard which your system profile confirms you have.

HT204053 imac- setting up icloud- no icloud display in preferences. How do i install it?

trying to set up my sisters imac do do back-up on cloud. Under system preferences there is no icloud icloud icon- only wireless etc. Where/how do i turn on the icloud icon

Please always give your operating system when you have a question. It rather sounds as if you have Snow Leopard or earlier. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.
