Missing System Pref
I just installed 10.5.6 then upgraded to 10.5.8 on my wife's G4 IBook. When I went into System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop the check-box for Translucent Menu Bar wasn't there.
It is there on my Mac Pro.
Anyone have an explanation and a fix. My wife hates the translucent menu bar.
Go to the main Apple Download Site, locate the 10.5.8 Combo Updater and download it (759 GBs - she's a biggie) then reinstall the update using the Combo Updater.
I strongly suggest you do the following before reinstalling the update:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Also, be sure to quit any open applications. For more security during updates boot into safe mode before any system updates. (Note: There is no wireless available in safe mode. Use Ethernet for any Internet needs until after you have the update installed and have restarted.)

My .Mac and Accounts apps have suddenly disappeared.
Any advice? Fixes? Causes?
Do I have to reinstall everything?
Running OS 10.4.6 on a G5Try deleting BOTH of these:
~(yourhome)/library/caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Then log out and back or restart. You'll need to reset a few of your System Prefs.

Preview missing - no menubar clock - System Prefs won't open....help!
Wow. Preview is missing (it shows up in the Application window as a zero K app, then when I click on it, it vanishes), all the Preview docs I had on my desktop are neutral icons ( just a white rectangle), and also my menubar clock is gone. System Preferences won't open. Help! I've tried repairing permissions but that's as far as I know what to do. Thanks, Chris
Wow, I feel a tiny bit proud of myself. And actually, Disk Warrior eventually helped,in a circuitous way. I reloaded the Combo Update for 10.3.9, that seemed to rejuvenate Preview. But still no System Prefs, no menubar clock. I right-clicked on System Preferences ( that
right-click or option-click is really useful sometimes, because it can open
packages and other single-icon deals that you can't see into otherwise - I
really recommend a 2-button mouse, I was resistant to it after 20 years of Mac-ing but the 2 buttons combined
with a scroll wheel is way better than the Apple mouse and the Dell mouse
is about 10 bucks on eBay)... once that was cracked, there was a Terminal
icon which I clicked on... wwhich indicated that there was a
pref file it couldn't find. When I searched for it with Find, there it was
in the 'REscued Items" folder from DiskWarrior. Dropped it in where the
Terminal readout indicated it was missing, and voila! A restart, and I
have System Prefs again and a menubar clock. The only thing still FU is
that shift-3 isn't working to get a snapshot of the screen so in order to
generate a PDF from the screen I have to use Grab and finagle there. I
have a feeling, though, that I'll find a way to fix it now. And as you
know, sometimes these things weirdly self-correct after a while, a few
dozen restarts, whatever. At any rate if that's all that I have to contend
with it's not a big deal. So -= DW helped in the end! Thanks to the respondents on this issue- C -
My systems Pref. App is totally missing from my system now...? I dont have the Tiger install DVD anymore, is there anyway of getting this App back
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

Built-In Audio Panning L&R malfunctions, system prefs.
I have noticed on my own Mac, as well as my peers' computers which include iBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, and even a new MacBook pro, that the audio coming from the Built-in audio card will randomly be panned completely to the right, or the left.
A quick troubleshoot will lead you to find that in the system preferences the panning slider is set to the right or left, an undesirable setting.
All of the computers I mentioned are running the latest updated versions of Tiger, 10.4.6, and with the exception of my self running Pro Tools, none of the other computers mentioned are running any third party audio interfaces/cards or software that uses audio other than the applications included with Tiger: iTunes, iChat, Quicktime, Safari, etc.
Unfortunately there is no Lock in the audio system preferences, which could potentially be a quick fix to the problem because if an application like iChat had a bug which caused audio panning, the lock in system prefs. would prevent that..
I am quite boggled.
question:
What might be causing this, and is there a solution?Thanks for the response guys. It seems we're in the same boat.
The problem is intermittent on my machine . It has occurred three times since I bought it. The fist time it lasted for a day and a half. I rang Apple support and went through a number of steps until the P-RAM suggestion which seemed to fix it. A few days later it disappeared again and resetting the P-RAM had no effect. My wife continued to use the computer (without sound) and some hours later it came back after a restart (she only restarted it because she is in the habit of shutting down instead of using sleep). The problem occurred again. That time I restarted the machine a number of times, with and without the external speakers plugged in, with them turned on and off etc. This had no effect. I gave up. Some time later my wife went to use the computer and it came back. I now believe that the P-RAM solution that seemed to fix the problem the first time was just a coincidence.
I rang Apple support again and they gave me the following steps (A,B & C of which I went through the first time the problem occurred):
A: Log in through another account and see if it had the same problem.
- The built-in audio was still missing.
B: Run the disk utility on the hard drive (after booting from installation DVD).
- There were nil problems on the HD, but it did not fix the problem.
C: Reset the P-RAM.
- This worked the first time though it has not worked on subsequent re-occurrences of the problem.
D: Do an Archive Reinstall.
- I did this today; though the built-in audio was working, I just wanted to complete the suggestions the Apple support person gave me. The problem has not reoccurred yet, but it has only been a few hours. I will be using the computer as much as possible tonight to see if the problem reoccurs.
If the problem reoccurs I'll be taking the machine in for warranty repairs, or better still replacement. -
Apple Desktop pictures do not appear in System Prefs
I tried to change my desktop picture and discovered that there are none of the apple images showing in the system prefs for Desktop & Screen Saver. The folders are there (Apple images, nature, plants, etc) but the folders are empty.
Digging via the finder I found in Library/Desktop Pictures all of the missing files but Prefs does not apparently see them.
The default Aurora was there after 10.5.5 upgrade, then I replaced it with one of my own from the user/Pictures folder which shows in the prefs window. All of those pictures still show in prefs.
What is wrong?Derryl S wrote:
Conclusion, there is now something about my account that no longer can see the contents of the Desktop Pictures folder. Why is unknown still.
Usually, a bad preference file or incompatible login item is the culprit, although it could also be corrupted data in a user cache.
For the first, you can try moving likely suspects from ~/Library/Preferences to a desktop temp folder, then logging out & back in or restarting to see if the problem is gone. If not replace the old preference from the temp folder to its original location to restore the old preferences. One general way that may help locate suspect pref files is to change the preference in the normal way while ~/Library/Preferences is sorted by date changed -- the file storing the preferences should be very near the top of the list.
You can also run a terminal command that checks the syntax of most preference files. It won't indicate all problems but it is worth a shot. In Terminal type:
sudo plutil -s ~/Library/preferences/*.plist
followed by pressing the return key. At the password prompt, enter you admin account password & press return again. It won't be echoed to the screen. If you get nothing besides the prompt for the next command, those prefs are syntactically correct. Otherwise, remove the indicated pref file as above & test.
If desired, repeat this for the main system-wide preference folder with this command:
sudo plutil -s /Library/preferences/*.plist
Note: since your new account has no problems, it is highly unlikely a system preference is the problem.
For login items, check the list in the accounts system preference. Suspect anything that isn't from Apple. You can list them here in a new post if you have any questions about them.
If the problem is a bad user cache, a third party utility like Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner will allow you to "clean" (delete) them. Try this as a last resort, since caches speed up the operation of your Mac & will need to be rebuild by the system, causing one-time delays until this is done. -
Somehow I have deleted the system Preferences application. I had already deleted everything from the trash bend before I realized system pref. was deleted. How can I recover or get it downloaded? Everything has been transferred to my new mac pro, but would like to give this old mac to son-in-law. Can I download system preferences back into this old mac?
Sidney Jean BienvenuHow Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
Click on the "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes: Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update .....
Default selection
Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages) -
Backblaze problem made System Prefs hang in Maverick
I am on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.1 . I use Backblaze for offsite backups.
I noticed this morning that the Backblaze icon was missing from my main system menu bar, so I went to Spotlight, searched "backblaze," and clicked on what came up. The system began to simultaneously open both a Backblaze app and my System Preferences. Then both hung and became unresponsive, so I had to force quit both of them.
Now the Backblaze icon is back in the system menu bar, but nothing happens when I click it--no menu drops down, etc. Also, I can no longer open System Preferences -- when I choose it in the Apple menu, it bounces for a while, then hangs, and I have to force quit.
I've tried fixing permissions, which didn't help. Anyone have any thoughts? I've also written Backblaze but haven't heard from them yet, and I suspect they will say that a problem with System Prefs is a Mac problem, not theirs.seems to have fixed itself after a couple of days.

System Prefs:specifically MobileMe
I usually get help from someone almost immediately at any hour but I posted this in the MobileMe Forum yesterday and have received no response, so perhaps it is System Preferences issue; I'm not sure.
I'm frustrated so I hope I'm in the right Forum this time. I have searched w/in Discussions but so far have not found a similar issue that provides an answer.
I have a MobileMe Family Pack, so two accounts are set up within MobileMe.com as Master and Member. I have gone into System Prefs/MobileMe and checked Sync: Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Bookmarks and Notes w/in each account.
In iTunes, I have unchecked Sync: Mail, Calendars, Contacts, and Bookmarks.
On each iPhone, under Settings, I have set MobileMe Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes, and Find My iPhone as the Default Account.
I have checked all the same Settings on my iPad, and unchecked Sync all those items for the iPad w/in iTunes.
Sometimes things sync to one device but not all. When I go back into System Prefs/MobileMe and look at the Sync settings for either account one account may have sync settings still checked, the on the other account, the prefs are no longer checked. When I check them, it's as if that account had never been synced. It can happen to either account. The major part of that problem seems to be that the checked settings within System Prefs/MobileMe do not remain checked. Each time I log out, that account loses the settings but logging out is the only way to get into the other account.
I have read somewhere on the Forum and thrown out
~/home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.prefs.plist and rebooted, but it again reverted to all unchecked sync prefs.
Is there something I'm missing that will allow each account's Sync Prefs to remain checked? Trying to fix this has become a more time-consuming problem than the old method of just updating various Calendars and Contact lists manually!
Thanks for any help.Concur..Mobile me is not worth the trouble. Have advised others to avoid it for now.
I have twice gotten everything truly synchronized only to have MobileMe multiply random contacts, mix email addresses, duplicate calendar entries and so forth.
About July 20 Mobileme was down late at night "for service" and there was a near simultaneous upgrade to iTunes so I thought Apple had finally fixed things..and indeed things worked until today (7/27).
So I have disabled MobileMe synchronizing....will try it again in a month or two. -
Not waking up from sleep-flashes lighted keyboard and screen, and I cannot unlock the padlocks in the system to change settings, look at keychain, etc.
Still cannot unlock system prefs/users etc. Also, many applications are returning errors like: "failed to obtain the necessary authorization" or " '' failed to obtain permission" so I've attached a portion of my log, showing when I attempt to unlock (or click on the padlock) in system preferences - User Accounts:

I can't reinstall ML, nor can I create another user (unless I use Terminal, and I'm a novice at best with Terminal).
I could really use some help here as it's been nearly 24 and I am going CRAZY! Thanks in advance for your help. -
Non admin user - changes not saved (Safari settings, system prefs, etc.)
iMac, 2 users, one is administrator and other is standard user. Recently, in the non-admin user account, it has become impossible to make any changes. For example, adding an application to the the Dock, after logging out and back in next time, the application is not in the Dock any more. Also, making changes to the prefs in Safari, changes are not saved.
I noticed this after installing FireFox v4. I installed it as admin whilst in the non-admin users account. However, I don't believe that the installation of FF has anything to do with the problem, it just highlighted it. I've checked the permissions for the various directories that hold prefs info such as user/libraries/application prefs/etc. etc. and also Safari prefs. Nothing I can see that has changed in system prefs.
Any ideas on what has caused the problem (kids are known to fiddle from within the non-admin account) and any ideas on how to fix it?
ThanksHi PPRuNe,
You could try making the standard user an Admin too. To do this, make sure you are logged in to the standard user, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Standard user (you may have to unlock the padlock) > Allow user to administer this computer
This will allow changes to be made without being prompted for a password all the time.
However, if you had Parental Controls on, they probably won't work on an admin account because as an admin you have complete control over a computer, so the computer thinks there is no point in having the controls turned on. And if the kids are known to "fiddle," just think carefully!
Hope this helps you.

I lost my iphone and my macbook pro does not show the icloud in system pref. how do i get icloud on my mac?
iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
the TV: LG Smart tvThe Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences -
I have a photo cd from photographer that was burned on a mac but it will not open on my mac. It goes in, makes some noise, then ejects. My system pref. is set to open iPhoto when a photo cd is inserted. She has sent me 2 disc and both do the same thing. Any ideas?
NOt an iPhoto issue - either a bad CD or a bad Superdrive on your computer - no way for us to tell try the CD in a different computer

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!
You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.
Maybe you are looking for
