HT4907 I am getting "Could not load iCloud preference pane." when trying to engage icloud through desktop system preferences. I just downloaded ML to my 2010 macbook pro. I also am unable to engage Safari. Chrome is working. I cleared all histories/cooki

Any ideas what I need to do to get the issues resolved?
I have cleared histories/cookies, emptied trash, turned off any unnecessary programs that were running, restarted multiple times after each idea was tried.
I dont find these issues when doing a search, but realize Mountain Lion 10.8.2 is not very old yet.
I WAS able to sign on to cloud ultilizing the System Preferences from the Apple icon. But Find My Mac cannot be located. I just keep getting iCloud lit up. No icon appears.
Experience with Mac: Been playing with them since the mid 1980's
Have owned 4 of the 6 iPhone versions, 2 versions of the Touch, and an iPad.

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

contact your phone carrier as they handle cellular network.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro. Firefox and Safari are showing up in HTML (I think) and many web pages are garbled and unreadable.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro 10.8.2 Now Safari and Firefox are not functioning right - sites are garbled, show up as bulleted blue phrases, don't react. I am trying to search train tickets in Paris and can't do it. My e-mail (Shaw) defaults to HTML and I cannot access the Bay site through e-mail. Help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

TS4036 could not sign in server error when trying to restore iphone from icloud

I am trying to restore my iPhone from an iCloud backup. I deleted everything on the phone per restore instructions. Connected to wireless on iPhone. Logged on to my iCloud account. Told the iPhone to restore from iCloud backup. I keep getting ""could not sign in" server error OK. I get this messge over and over.

I actually noticed when I had this problem just now that my iPhone 4 wasn't on wif. Only connected to 3G even though I entered my network info and clicked connect. So I backed up a few steps and re selected to connect to wifi and it fixed my issue!

Preferences error: Could not load Accounts preferance pane.

When trying to access my accounts tab under system preferences, it does the usual "must restart system preferences" fiasco to boot into 32-bit mode. After it relaunches, it displays an error message:
*Preferences Error:*
Could not load Accounts preference pane.
I've searched the apple support forums, google, insanelymac, and have not come up with a solution. So far, I've tried:
-Deleting the system preference... preference under account -> library -> preferences -> com.apple.systempreferences.plist
-Under system -> library -> preferencepanes I am running version 3.0 of Accounts.prefPane
-I have booted from the system disk and repaired permissions along with disk
-I tried restoring an older version of Accounts.prefPane from my time machine back-up, and I receive the same error. (this did not happen in 10.5.8)
Any help is appreciated. It's rather important that I access my accounts tab, haha. If worse comes to worse, I'll just wipe my entire system and do a fresh install. (something I'd rather avoid.) For the record, I did do a simple install of Snow Leopard instead of a clean install.
Cheers!

Hello Mr:
When trying to access my accounts tab under system preferences, it does the usual "must restart system preferences" fiasco to boot into 32-bit mode. After it relaunches, it displays an error message:
Preferences Error:
Could not load Accounts preference pane.
I have never seen that nor did I experience it myself.
Before you do an erase and install (there is no +"clean install"+ in Apple parlance), I would reinstall OS X 10.6 (over your current installation). Frankly, the message makes no sense (I am not suggesting it did not happen).

Why am I getting the message 'this connection is untrusted' when trying to access iCloud through Mozilla Firefox?

I use Mozilla Firefox and have never had difficulty before, but today I got 'this connection is untrusted' when trying to open iCloud. There was no option to override this.
The Technical Details said:
www.icloud.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
Help!

Clear your history/cookies and stuff like that on Firefox and then retry. If that doesn't work try restarting the computer or accessing iCloud via Google Chrome or Safari for the time being. I feel your pain, I love Firefox.

Safari gets stuck on loading indicator/image placeholder when trying to load "some" images

Ok, so Safari and Firefox for Mac both have this problem.
When I go to some websites, I get an endless loading icon (place holder) and nothing appears.
However on Windows/Internet Explorer (using parralels) the page loads fine.
This happens on Ram Trucks http://www.ramtrucks.com/en/2012/ram_1500/
and also on Yelp http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5DJS-EaAN51xbEwqW7Jk6Q?select=YosUpE8E0BgZSEYbWze IKg
Since it happens on Both Safari and Firefox for Mac, Im thinking something is wrong with my MAC Operating System.
Here is what I see when I go to those sites.
YELP = i49.tinypic.com/153pslv.jpg RAM TRUCKS = i46.tinypic.com/2q3cd9t.png
Those are just two examples of sites, but it happens to other sites.. and its not all images.. it seems like its just those websites that have special/custom loading indicators when you click on photos. I think its some special HTML or scripting that the sites use to bring up the images thats causing the problem. Since its only those sites that have an animated gif as a waiting/loading indicator for the image your trying to view.
Anyone have any ideas? This was working fine, but my hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall OSX. Thats when i started experiencing this. I have already done all the MAC updates.

I already tried taking them off the SD card directly from the Mac card reader, it detects it in image capture and in iphoto, but the same thing happens, just a loading screen as pictured above.

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook. The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise. Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device. I tried and got the above message. Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message. Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook. iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
change DNS by adding ( + )
208.67.222.222
then
208.67.220.220
click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

JUst installed OS10 maverick. Got updated epson scanner software. update refused opening saying third party could not be opened. same thing when trying to open grab tif file in photoshop. any ideas?gr

Just installed maverick. dowmloaded updated drivers for epson scanner. could not open download. got message would not open because third party file. Also tried to open grab tif file in photoshop. also denied as third party file. Any ideas?

If you are trying to install the updated Epson scanner driver when you get this message, it will be due to the installer not being digitally signed - which is odd if it is an updated driver. To get past this block, which is a function of Gatekeeper, hold down the Control button and click the installer. A pop-up window will appear. Select Open from the menu. You will now get the option to install the driver software.

"This Movie could not be played" Message appears when trying to play video?

I have synced a number of vids to my iPhone 3G running 2.2 software.
This has been done thru iTunes which has a feature that advises you BEFORE you try and sync the file if it is in a compatible format and size. If not, then you cannot sync it.
I have been using a third party Vid file type converter to convert various files into iPhone compatible .mp4 files with sizes of either 320 X 240 or 640 X 480.
All worked well until today. I had just finished playing such a vid with no problems and when I went to replay it I got this message:
"THIS MOVIE COULD NOT BE PLAYED"
I then went thru my 26 vids that I had synced to my iPhone and found that 12 of them would no longer play????????
NOTHING changed...How could a vid that played fine suddenly not play anymore, along with a number of others that previously played with no problems?
I cannot think of what specific parameters are the same in those 12 files that make up the group that will no longer play?
I did a "Hard Shut Down" of my iPhone and then Reset all Settings...nothing worked?
Tonite, when I get home and have access to iTunes, I will delete and re-sync some of the now unplayable vids to see if they will be accepted for syncing and if so, if they will now play again?
In the meantime, is anyone else having similar problems? Cause? Fix? Workarounds?
Any advise would be much appreciated, as I do NOT want to lose the ability to view these vids, or any others like them, that may no longer play on my iPhone!
Thanx..
Chuck Proche

Thankyou for the two replies.
I have some good news but I still am concerned about why this happened?
Using iTunes, I deleted then re-synced the video files that wouldn't play and now all of them play again.
As I don't know why this problem occured, I am concerned about it happening again...it is NOT fun to have to delete and reload all of these vids, but, at least I know that there is some kind of "workaround"!
If anyone has an idea of WHY this happened and, perhaps how to prevent it in the future, I would appreciate that input despite the fact that all my vids now play again.

Upgraded my 2010 macbook pro to mountain lion, unable to complete time machine backup using time capsule. Getting error 112

Upgraded macbook pro to mountain lion, get the following message
"the backup disk image "......." could not be accessed (error 112)
I've tried many of the suggestions from other discussion threads, still unable to get anything to work. Have 4 other computers backing up to the same time capsule, all of them are functioning normally, however they are not upgraded to mountain lion.
Suggestions?

This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including your exclusion list. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

I get "could not open install.log file" when clicking on link in website which leads to an email address, all other links work OK.

I am blocked by a message box headed 'Wise Uninstall' and the above error message each time I attempt to use a 'contact us' feature in a website which would normally takes me to an email address. The same happens when right-clicking on an image in any website to send to an email recipient.
I would really appreciate your help in resolving this issue as it is most annoying as you can image.
Many thanks, Judy.

ok I managed to fix this! I had to run a disk repair it took a long time but after a reboot it now works fine.
hard drive -> properties -> tools -> error-checking -> check now...

I downloaded 21 Jump Street for a road trip the other day, and it won't play. I click play and a black screen appears and then it says "could not load movie." I have tried rebooting it, and it won't load. Please help.

I can't figure out how to get this movie to play - I have another movie downloaded and I had no problems. Any tips?

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?
