HT201240 how to enable account preferences? it just show a blank window. Mac OS X version is 10.6.8

I cannot access account preferences, it only shows a blank window.

Run the OnyX > Verify > Preferences and locate the corrupt .plist file.
#12 and #13 here
Step by Step to fix your Mac
It should be in your User/Library/Preferences folder, then place it on the Desktop and reboot, the file will be automatically recreated and system preferences accounts should work after that.
Trash the bad desktop file.
If that doesn't work you will have to log into another Admin user on the machine, to recover your files out of the other user account and then do a #17 to delete and recreate the same user account.
If you don't have another Admin account on the machine, that presents some problems as System Preferences > Accounts is used to create another Admin user on the machine.

  • HT3986 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? Many 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 Thanks

    Holy 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 enable DDE communication and Network DDE DSDM on windows 7

    How to enable DDE communication and Network DDE DSDM on windows 7

    Hi,
    For Network DDE to function, NetDDE.EXE needs to be installed and running on both machines before attempting to conduct a Network DDE conversation. NetDDE.exe is a Windows Service system file that is used to communicate the shared dynamic data exchange used
    by Network DDE. It has no graphical user interface (it runs as a background Windows service).
    For more information, please refer to this article:

  • My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

    My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there. Any way to fix it ?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • My daughters ipod is not working it is just showing a blank screen can anyone give any advice

    My daughters ipod touch is not working it just shows a blank screen.Can anyone help?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.  Have you tried each of these?

  • Why is that whenever there's a power outage or whenever I restart my computer sometimes my iMac wont completely load up? It will just  show a blank white screen. It will do that for a few days until it decides to fully load up.

    Why is that whenever there's a power outage or whenever I restart my computer sometimes my iMac wont completely load up? It will just  show a blank white screen. It will do that for a few days until it decides to fully load up.

    First step would be a PRAM reset.

    Post back if that does not work.
    The next step would be to try "Repair Disk".

  • Enabling "Accounts" Preference Pane

    I have somehow turned off my kid's "accounts" preference pane. When I launch system preferences under her log in to manage her account, the "accounts" pane is grayed out. So I can't get to her account to turn the accounts pane back on. How do I turn the accounts pane on if I can't open her account?

    You probably have her account managed with Parental Controls features switched on through an administrator account. You need to edit the account features from there.

  • How can I get my iphone5s to show up in my mac finder

    How can I get my iphone to show up in my finder.

    you know this is mac Pro forum, right? Okay, assuming you have synched up your iphone 5s with itunes, it will show up there under devices.  If you double click on your hard drive, and look  at the window that has opened up there, you will see past "Favorites", past 'Devices" there you will see "Shared" and there your iphone should show up." it will not appear on your desktop as a removeable storage device, at least that's been my experience

  • Hotmail site just shows a blank page. Although I went to options advanced network clear now.

    My hotmail.com is a blank page. I tried to go to option > advanced > network > clear now. But the problem is still there.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://hotmail.com

    I have a client with the same problem but on Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Some pages in Hotmail just show as a blank (absolutely nothing) with the green progress bar hanging forever. Seems to be linked to just clicking on a listed email in the inbox. Using a fully patched O/S and the latest Firefox release. Same page/process in IE8 and no problems.

  • How can I have ext hard disks show on "About this Mac/Storage" that are ousted and show on screen

    I have Mac 10.9.5, Intel.  I was working in iMovie, when message came up and said I do not have enough space on my hard disk.. I have several hundred GB available.  All my ext. HD's appear on my screen.  In  "About this mac/storage" only my HD and two of the four external drives show up.  The two  ext. drives that show on "about This Mac" are full.  I have done a disk utility check on every drive and they are fine.  Also, the whole machine is very slow. I have rebooted also.
