ICloud system preference pane

MacBook OS 10.7.4. The iCloud system preference pane does not open to the settings options - it directs me to Find my iPhone. Settings appear as expected on my iPhone. My iCloud account is available on iCloud.com. Any suggestions?

I'm not really sure what it is that you are asking, but in case it is relevant, you cannot access iCloud.com from an iOS device. Any iCloud data you wish to access on an iOS device, should be accessed through the appropriate app, such as calendar, contacts etc.

Thanks in advance… John

Go to the System/iCloud preference pane on your Mac and make sure all of the items you want to sync/sharte are checked:
If you can't check those boxes or you did and they didn't work, sign out of the account and then back in again.

Some system preferences panes won't open

I just installed Mountain Lionon my iMac. When I try to open the System Preferences panes for Notifications; Security & Privacy; iCloud; Mail, Contacts & Calendars; and Desktop & Screen Saver though, I get the message
To use the “[Name of pane]” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.
Selecting OK causes the System Preferences to disappear and then come back, but that same error message is still there. How do I get rid of it so I can acess those panes? Thanks!

Yep:
Go to Applications folder
Select System Preferences
Enter Command I
Under General, deslect Open in 32-bit mode
Then try to acess what you were trying to earlier.
Good luck!

HT4906 In iCloud system preferences why am I not able to select iPhoto Streams?

When I go to turn on Iphoto stream in iCloud system preferences on my MacBook Pro I am not able to select the iPhoto Stream option, and it is the only option that seems to me made unavailable to me.
How do I fix this so my iPhone photos start streaming to my MacBook???

What version of iPhoto are your running? Do you have Photo Stream enabled in iPhoto?
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane aand log back in.

System Preferences pane - security icon no longer works on all tabs

System Preferences pane has several tabs where there there is a security option, i.e.: a padlock icon with 'click lock to prevent further changes".
the icon is not working on all the tabs - it works on some tabs, but on others it just flashes and stays unlocked.

so today it works... WT*!

System Preference Panes non-functional (some)

I am "fixing" a friends MacBook Pro as a favour, and she's getting exactly what she paid for. It may be a few years old - not sure. It's running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, but I'm putting it in this more general section because it may not be SL-specific.
A few of the System Preferences panes don't work. A message comes up which simply says "non-functional" or something like that. Specifically, the ones whcih don't work are:
Desktop and ScreenSaver
Spotlight
Energy Saver
Background: she forgot her password, and this is on a computer which was formerly someone else's. I couldn't even get the thing to the login screen, so something else was wrong besides her password, but I had her gray Snow Leopard installation disks, so got through the re-install process, made a new User for myself, as Administrator, and was then delighted to find that all of her data was still intact. I had to add myself in to the permissions on her UserID. I made a new user for her as well, because we still didn't have her own original password, and I looked around but couldn't find it. I copied all of her data over to her new UserID.
I also did all Updates, plus tried a 10.6.8. combo update.
Then I made an error. The former owners UserID was also still there. We couldn't log on as her either, without her password, but I figured that we didn't need that anymore, checked with the current owner first, and deleted the original User (and renamed the computer). I cannot reconstruct in my mind whether the System Preferences panes malfunction occurred before or after deleting the original User.
There is other minor wonkiness, but basically the machine is running and the data has been preserved (and now backed up). But one thing at a time: I've reinstalled the OS a couple of times, without improvement. I tried to upgrade to Mavericks, but after downloading, it told me that this computer could not be upgraded (without saying why not).
I haven't found any plist files which look relevant. I did more 2 of them out of HD-Library-Preferences, without any effect, so put them back. I find the Preference Panes in System-Library-PreferencePanes, but didn't see anything to do about that. The offending panes look like they're at least present.
Is there something simple I'm missing? Can I get those panes back?
Thank you.
Charles

Macbook pros need to be at least 2009 for 13" and 2007 for 15" and 17" to run Mavericks. see system requiements.
At this point, the easiest solution will be to make your backups current, then wipe the drive and do a clean install of the system. That means more work reinstalling the backed-up data (you only want to restore data and third-party apps, not any of the system components), but it makes sure you get a clean, working copy of the system.

ICloud system preferences won't let me log in

I recently changed my apple ID password and now I can't log in to the icloud system preferences on my iMac or the App Store on my iMac. Everything else is fine with the new password; icloud.com, itunes, ipad, iphone, MacBook Air. Have tried creating a new user account but get the same messages which vary from "unrecognized user or password" to "problem communicating with icloud, try again later."
Thanks for any help.
OS X Lion

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button).
Similarly, you can sign out of the Mac App Store using the sign out option from the store menu.

Am I going to duplicate Contacts by checking Contacts in iCloud System Preferences?

I moved MobileMe to iCloud last night. At iCloud.com all my contacts are there but they are not syncing. On my Mac, the Contacts box is not checked in iCloud System Preferences. If I check this, am I going to get duplicates of my Contacts, since they are already in Contacts on iCloud.com? If so, can I avoid this somehow?

It will ask if you want to merge them and you should be OK.
If you want to be doubley sure, you might want to select all the contacts (select the first and shift click the last and drag them to your desktop as back up and then delete them from address book before ticking the box and merging.

System preferences panes won't open in M.L.

I just installed Mountain Lion on two machines, apparently with success. With a MBP, and only in one account, I can't open selected panels in system preferences panes: notifications, desktop and screensaver, security and privacy, date and time, dictation and speech, time machine, and startup disk. This issue is specific to my account. I've another account on this same machine and the preferences panes open and work. I've already done the permissions repair, used Disk Utility in Recovery mode, repaired the hard drive disk, and reinstalled Mountain Lion, all to no effect. On my iMac, all works well. Does anyone have an idea of what to do next?

Right click on the System Preferences app in your Applications Folder. Select "get info" and make sure the 32 bit check box is NOT checked.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Anyone having login issues with iCloud system preference ?

have been having issues with Login in to make changes in iCloud system preference. When I click on my icloud account inside systme prefrence it ask me to enter the password , after entering the password still everything is grayed out and cant make any changes. what is wrong?

Same thing happened. It seems to default to another me.com address I had before changing to the current me.com address. Resetting the default keychain exaxtly does what? Does it also remove all other keychain enties?

Epson scanner perfection 1670 is not detected on system preference pane

It use to work but now it only produces blank grey scans.
I have deinstalled and reinstalled new driver from Epson support site.
I have also tried cleaning the USB connection with no results.
I have noticed that when I tried connecting to the internet from the the scanner Help menu it tells me I am not connected (while I am) and I noticed also that the scanner is not detected on system preference pane.

You can open System Profiler and under the Hardware heading you will see the USB entry. The printer should be listed under one of the USB busses. If you don't see it then the USB cable could be faulty or the printer itself could be cactus. So try another USB cable and in another port on the Mac. If the new cable and socket fails to make the printer appear in the USB view then the printer is the problem.
If the printer is visible under one of the USB busses then this would indicate that the printer and the USB cable is okay. In this case the printer should be capable of being added in Print & Fax. But if you select to add the printer and it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer pane then try a reset of the printing system, as described next.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac

How do you launch new Acrobat 9 from System Preference pane? Message comes up "FMCore stopped. Start from System Preference pane, then relaunch. Illustrator does the same thing.

Update your Extensis Suitcase with the latest version. Check on their website. It's not an Acrobat or Illustrator problem.
