I can't access Calendar Preferences

I set up my new iMac using Time Machine (on hard drive from my G4 and Mac 10.5.8)
All worked well except that it was set up with one of two Apple ID accounts - the one I used for my .mac mail account.
Unfortunately my other Apple ID account (my Itunes account) is where I synched calendars, contacts, etc. So I managed to switch the iMac to the other Apple ID and all is now synched.
However, I'm notified that I can't use iCloud storage which seems to be linked to the first account.
Also, unlike all other programs - when I try to access Calendar Preferences nothing opens!
Is this a common problem when someone has two Apple ID's??

Hello GfCT,
Turning of your Wi-Fi should prevent this message from appearing, allowing you to open preferences in Calendars and remove the offending account.
Turn off Wi-Fi

Can't Access Calendar General Options and other issues (Sync issue?)

I have a Curve 8330m. V4.5.0.169. I recently began syncing with Blackberry Desktop for Mac. After the latest update I got sync error messages. So I decided not to sync my contacts in case I’d lose them. (I had been through quite a bit of grief to get them nicely synced). I hadn’t synced my calendar so I decided to try that. Since then, my calendar has not functioned properly.
I can’t access General Options on the Calendar Menu. When I choose “Today” it goes to a date in the future (17 days hence). The same thing happens when I “Go to Date”. The Week View is totally different and very basic looking. The date at top does not match the week . . . . .
I could go on and on. It seems like the "formatting" of the Calendar view has been corrupted.
But what I’d really like to do is fix it!
Can I delete the calendar without deleting contacts? Do I need to do a wipe and start all over? And do I risk never seeing my addresses on the Blackberry again?
I really need both contacts (thousands) and calendar for my work.
I would appreciate any help?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply, John. DM Mac does not seem to have an "advanced" option in the Back up / Restore" mode. It basically gives you two choices: restore all of a backup or select items to restore. Does this, in your view, mean that my only option is to wipe and then restore all except for calendar records and option (1) and then try to do a sync with the calendar?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

How do I set up the magic trackpad when I can't access System Preferences

Bought a new iMac and Magic Mouse. After initial installation, decided to swap mouse for the Magic Trackpad.
Trackpad is turned on but I am unable to access System Preferences since my iMac was paired with the Magic Mouse. I don't have another USB mouse to complete the pairing. Any suggestions? Thank You.

Nancy,
If you have the bluetooth icon in the menubar, you can reach that and open bluetooth preferences by
pressing FN CNTL F8. This will move focus to the right side of the menubar, then arrow across and down to get to the options you need. Press the spacebar for "enter".
Regards,

Can't access calendar after 8.1 update

I have an HTC Windows Phone 8x and I finally got the 8.1 update we've all been waiting for. Unfortunately, now I can't access my calendar. Normally I have a Live tile that lets me access it, but that tile disappeared. I figured there must be some "new and improved" way to access my calendar, but after reading up on the 8.1 update, I have no clue. I tried deleting my Exchange email account and re-adding it, thinking it will now sync the calendar and make it appear on my phone, but that didn't work. And the phone doesn't let me delete my Windows Live email account (which is the other calendar that I can normally sync to my phone). I have gone through every menu option on my phone to see if there's something I'm missing, but there are zero options related to calendar. Supposedly, when you set up your email accounts, the calendars should just sync automatically. And that IS what happened prior to 8.1. So what's going on? Anyone else having this problem?

We want to get your phone back to normal! If the application has disappeared there may have been a corruption during the upgrade. I would suggest a factory reset be completed at this point: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-66350/

Can't access Mail Preferences

Help - I am trying to switch internet providers and having issues with email change.
My mail program will not let me open preferences. It appears to be having issues with my password.
How can I get into preferences to change these accounts??

-Mail 3.6, the one that has a stamp icon
I believe that all versions of Mail use that stamp icon. Version 3.6 is the version that comes with OS X 10.5.8.
When I click on Preferences now, nothing happens.
So in Mail, you click on the Mail menu item, the Mail menu list drops down, but when you click on "Preferences...", nothing happens? That's very strange. Does anything useful happen when you use the keyboard shortcut command (apple)-comma? Have you done anything else that might affect file permissions?
You might also use the Keychain Access utility to delete any existing passwords for Mail to see if that allows you to give Mail the correct password.

Can't access System Preferences in Spaces

Quite frequently I find myself unable to access System Preferences.
I think it may be a Spaces issue and I think it may happen if I close the System Preferences window.
If I Option-Command-Esc, the window shows System Preferences is running. But force quitting System Preferences has no effect.
If I Command-Tab, I see System Preferences in the row of icons. However selecting this icon has no effect, the System Preferences window does not come to the front.
Of course I can't open Spaces to try to resolve the problem because it is a System Preference.
The only solution I have found is to Logout and log back in.

Oops, never mind. I have a Wacom tablet connected to my Mac, and turns out that the system prefs window was showing up on that screen instead of my main display.
For future reference, is there a way to delete a post such as my first one?

For the love of God!! Can't access system preferences.

My mom recently got a mac but we are new to it as we've always used Microsoft.
I've been trying to create an account for myself. I created it, and made it an admin, but it won't allow me to go into system preferences. Every time I click it, nothing opens. On my dock, the system pref. app is a question mark (?) and that wont open it either.
I am able to access preferences on the original user (my mom's user) but that doesn't help me at all.

In that second account, when you visit the /Application folder, what does the icon for System Preferences look like? How are the privilege settings for it?

Can I access system preferences, WHILE migration assistant is running on the source computer, to change the sleep setting?

I have started Migration Assistant and have NOW learned that I was supposed to change the sleep setting in System Preferences to 'never'. Since M.A. is running right now, can I change the setting or will it mess up the transferring of data??

Thank you for responding. We did continually move the cursor for a few hours, but still had 13 hours to go, so after feeling we had nothing to loose, we did go into System Preferences to turn off sleep mode and we were able to do so on the source computer. Now in the morning we see that MA kept running for 8 additional hours.

Can't access Qmaster Preferences?

I am trying to setup a new Qmaster render farm, but have run into trouble right out of the gate. I installed Qmaster on our server, and 2 of our production boxes.
On all three machines when I go to Qmaster Preferences I get a dialog box that asks for:
Brose Wide Area Network (checkbox)
DNS Domain: (text field)
Cancel Apply buttons.
All but the buttons are grayed out and I cant select or add anything? Where do I go from here?

The System prefs or the application prefs? Are you completely new to Qmaster or is this just a new farm and it's not going together for you like it did last time?
If you're new to Qmaster, there are two manuals that can help you out. One is for the admin app and the other helps you run distributed processing. They're difficult reading but see page 56 of the manual called "Apple Qmaster 3 and Compressor 3" for information on how the DNS entry is supposed to work. then see page 14 and look for "Getting Started Quickly." You must create a cluster and start sharing before you can manage a cluster.

Lightroom Crashes and can't access my preference tab in Lightroom 5

I'm working on Win8 . When I click on the preference in lightroom, I keep getting the below error and the program shuts down. Also after changing the preference catalog the problem of Lightroom crashing when trying to sync my collections has been resolved but now when I go to sign-in, it says " that it seems that the computer is not connected to the internet.
My system config is as below. Is my computer too old to run Lightroom. I just bought the monthly subscription yesterday and since then I've only been plagued with one issue after the other.

I'd try to close LR and then back up and then delete the Preferences.agprefs file. File locations.
LR will create a new one on its next launch.

Can't access system preferences

my system preferences is not accessible from the apple menu and it has a grey question mark on it in the dock

Back up all data.
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
