HT201321 system preferences is not responding

I have problem with system preference is not responding

Is it just one System Preference, if so, which?
Try this: in Finder, select Go > Go to Folder...
copy (triple-click) and paste the following
~/Library/Preferences/
so that it looks like this
... and click Go.
In the window that opens, locate the following and drag it to the Desktop
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Restart your Mac.
Fixed?
If so, good, but you will need to recreate your system preferences all over again since there was something amiss with the last configuration.
If not, drag the file on the Desktop back to where it came and you're no worse off than when you began.

HELP.........systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...During the most recent Security update download, near the end of the process,clean turned all graining and seemed to freeze. I waited awhile and then turned the computer.
ever since then I can not open up any of my systems preferences, battery level,date and time do not show up on the top of the screen as before.....
I had since gone and successfully downloaded the most recent security update for the Apple site and after a restart still no battery level, systems preferences or date and time....
Any suggestions at this point.

My system preferences is not responding, my system preferences is not responding

My system preferences has locked up. It has nothing to do with iphoto like some questions have been corrected by moving that folder. Every preference locks up. From the SP window any preference I click on will not respond. I don't care about my background picture. I have tried deleting the plist in the system folder and that didn't work either. Any suggestions. Thanks

I'm having the same problem. iPhoto starts fine, displays pictures fine, but when I select "iPhoto", "Preferences", iPhoto locks up with the pinwheel turning. I end up doing a force quit. I've backed up my computer and tried some rebuilding of my library and no fix.
Anyone else having the same problem?
The only thing I can think of is that my iPhoto library is stored on an external HD. But that shouldn't matter.

System preferences is not responding

and shows the color wheel on desktop/screen saver tab

avesole,
i found the answer on another forum and this worked perfectly for me.
I was getting exactly the same problem and so were a lot of other people. This is how to fix it - and it worked for me along with others: 1) Apple have hidden the Library folder by default in Lion. To permaently unhide it, open the Terminal utility and run the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library After running this command the Library should become immediately available, without the need to reboot the system or log out and log back in. 2) Open Finder and drill down to MacPro HD/Users/Your Username/Library/Preferences and then send the following file to the trash: com.apple.desktop.plist 3) Reboot your mac (this may not be needed but I prefered it this way) after reboot should work for you :-) The com.apple.desktop.plist gets recreated in Finder so if you are satisfied it has work, you can now delete this file from the trash.
once you have done this re-open the system preferences and go to your desktop/screensaver screen and it should work fine. (i didn't have to reboot but did it anyway after making the changes i wanted to my desktop picture) i found that a certain picture file that i was trying to set as my desktop was causing the preferences to freeze but i don't know how to fix that yet...still working on a solution
hope this helps....

My system preferences is not responding when I go to change my background photo

Last night I had imported a few new photos into my iphoto and went to go change my background to one of them but now everytime I try to change it I open up the system preferences > desktop & screensaver, and then it just says loading imagings and the pinwheel goes but nothing ever responds and I always have to force quit the program. I only have about 450 photos in my iphoto and I just don't know what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello there, Morgan1011.
The following Knowledge Base article should provide some assistance with the issue you're describing:

My system preferences is not responding

what do I do?

First try force quitting, assuming this problem is on your computer. Click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and select Force Quit.. then select System Preferences from the menu.
If that doesn't work then try rebooting your computer.
If that still doesn't work then delete the property list file and restart.
1. Select Finder in the Dock. Choose 'Go' from the menubar at the top, hold down the 'option' key and choose 'Library'.
2. In Library, navigate to /Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
(make sure you get the right file, there's a lot of files in there with similar looking names)
3. Drag it to the Trash
4. Restart.

How can i resolve my app like system preference is not responding and it's in freeze mode?

hey, am user for the 1st time! pls help! how can i combat this problem now! i am stuck with this prob for 5hrs. i am

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.
If it still isn't working...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.

Systems preferences does not work

My Systems Preferences does not work, either reminders and messages... since Mavericks(10.9) Programs do not respond and Macbook air is not responding.... Help.....

Well, you are certainly correct that the fact that the "wired" machines work sure doesn't rule out a faulty router....But that's why (as part of a process of elimination troubleshooting scheme) I hooked up my old Linksys Router, and got the same results. Now...What are the odds of 2 separate routers acting the same way? Especially when both worked fine on my TIPB and even on my MBP until a few months ago. Plus, my 12 year old son can pull a wireless signal from the router on his console games (xbox360, Wii, PS3) with no problem
Believe me, my first thought was to go out and buy another router, but when I swapped routers and got the same problem, I began to look elsewhere, eventually coming here for help and knowledge.
I did the SMC reset to no avail. I'm not sure about the stuff in System Configuration....By "pull" do you mean to delete all the files in this folder? Move them to a temporary folder? Should I just deal with the folders that have "IP" in the "bundle" file name?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

System Preferences will not open 10.10

After having some amusing issues with 10.10.1, one issue being that System Prefs wouldn't open, I decided to restore the system back to 10.10. Though I can't say yet that this has fixed all my problems, one glaring issue persists: System Preferences will not open. The icon in the dock will bounce for a good minute and "System Preferences" will show up in the upper menu bar, but the actual panel will never load up and the icon (upon right clicking on it) will eventually say "app not responding."
All in all:
I can access System Prefs in safe mode. I have attempted to remove systempreferences.plist. Nothing seems to show up in the console when attempting to boot System Prefs up (besides an excessively long hang report). I have repaired disk permissions. I have no idea when this started. Mac Pro (Early 2009). Am willing to do any and all of these things again.

Since upgrading to Lion OS, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help.

Since upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.1, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help. This never used to happen with Snow Leopard

This is a big thank you to Rys Sinnefeldt who posted this fix.
Rys has made this fix very easy to do and takes literally 2 mins. It involves replacing the Atheros Lion driver 4.0 and replacing it with the snow leopard driver. Don't worry, Rys has made this so simple to do even I could do it and so far I have had no more wifi drops.

Thanks again to Rys.

System preferences will not open after upgrade

upgraded software today and now system preferences will not open. when i click on it a message says "you cannot open the application 'system preferences' because it is not supported on this architecture". system preferences icon has a circle and slash symbol on top of it. my imac is about 6 months old and have not had a problem with it. all other apps work. please help.

Tried that, did 'repair disk permissions and it said all was ok. But when I pressed the 'Verify permissions' button it came out with an error message. Said that there was an error upon exiting, said the hard drive was damaged. Do you think that is connected to 'system preferences' not opening. As I said the 'system now has a 'circle with a slash' symbolon top of it.

System preferences will not open after Yosemite 10.10.2 upgrade

system preferences will not open after Yosemite 10.10.2 upgrade. What should I do?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My system preferences will not open!

What happens when you try?
Try booting to Safe Mode
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
After your try, open the Console app in the Utilities folder and at the time you tried look for log entry errors associated with the opening System Preferences and post them here.
