Parental controls panel won't load

Did a clean install on my MBP i7 of Mavericks.
Pointed our daughter's HOME directory back to the original directory on the original disk. My directory is clean and new.
However, now when she tries to run MS Word, it bounces a few times then stops. Little or no info in CONSOLE.
Went to Parental Controls from my acct, but when I select her Acct, it comes up with a message: "There was an error in the Parental Controls preference pane" OK.
Now, the funny part is that I enabled remote settings of Parental controls. If I select this machine and her acct from my MBA - it loads just fine.
I fixed this problem before by removing the Parental restrictions on her account then copying the restrictions back from the MBA. This worked for a while, then failed again today. Looking for a more permanent fix. Seems like it could be a problem with Mavericks itself?

As far as I can tell, 10.6 has stuffed up Parental Control. The only thing that appears to work is the 15 min warning that the time allocation is about to expire. 15 minutes later they don't get logged out. Have two girls with identical settings. One can access their webmail, the other one can't, there are random messages about people being able to login at all, or not, don't appear to be any logs to read, can't seem to add programs that are permissible. Used to work before I upgraded the OS. Apple don't appear interested at all.

ICloud 2.0 Control Panel won't load on Win 7 32-bit

I installed iCloud 2.0. The install seems to work but the following issues occur:
iCloud control panel won't open
iCloud icon in notifications area won't open iCloud
Outlook 2010 won't open, instead it hangs in the splash screen with "Processing..."
iCloud is running according to Task Manager
I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with the same result.

Here's what worked for me after looking around this discussion board:
Uninstall iCloud
Reboot
Make sure that if you're using a web proxy (many corporate accounts require these) that you don't use a proxy script file (.pac file)
For 32-bit Windows 7:
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
On a 32-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files" folder.
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
Find the APSDaemon.exe file and set it Run As Administrator
Reinstall iCloud 2.0.
Note: APSDaemon.exe causes iTunes to hang on quit. I had it renamed to disable it but it's required by iCloud.

Control Panel won't open/Software License Service fails to run

I'm not sure what happened, I had left my computer on sleep for about 4 hours, I came back and I was getting these UAC messages even when I was opening elevated mode for task manager. Soon I realized my control panel won't open. After some googling, the problem was apparently linked to a service called Software License Service and it was either caused by virus(but I have avast..) or files that somehow got corrupted. I had: updated my system using Thinkvantage system update + did a system backup+ ran memtest86+ + turned off AMT + turned off Intel onscreen display. That's all I did before this happened.The error code I get when I try to start control panel through cmd is Error 34 (don't know what this means). And Software license service won't start.
*control panel opens fine in safe mode
*ran sfc, there were problems that 'couldn't be repaired'
1. Is there any way to fix this, ie is there a hotfix available or something I can just download and install?
2.Any idea what might have possibly caused this?
3. I did a quick restore using the backup I did and the problem was still not fixed. Will a full restore help or will I have to resort to factoy restore?
Thanks. *having so many problems with the new thinkpad + vista =/*
I have a T400(2764-CTO) 32 bit on vista business.

I installed or updated to iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later for Windows and signed in, but when I go to iCloud Photos I see a message that it's not enabled. I go to the iCloud Control Panel won't allow a ck mark to be put, pls help!

I went to the ICloud Control Panel 2.1 to enable iCloud photos, the area to put a ck mark is grayed out and won't let me enable it.
This is on my HP desktop Windows 7. I have iphone 5 and newset iPad that do fine on iCloud.
Please help me to get my iCloud photos enabled on my desktop.

Hello,
You might not have the plugin for Firefox installed. Adobe has two different versions of Flash - one for Internet Explorer and another for Firefox. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX. You can check if Firefox has the plugin by going to:
* Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, or
* [Image: New Fx Menu] > Add-ons > Plugins
In Firefox, go to this link and Adobe should give you right correct installer:
* https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If for whatever reason it is not choosing the correct OS for you, you can manually select Windows Vista and "Other Browsers" here:
* https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

IdeaPad Y580 Nvidia control panel won't switch to dedicated GPU

Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for a while already, I try to switch the default GPU for Rust PC game. It's set on integrated Intel GPU and I try to switch it to a dedicated GTX660m video card. The problem is, everytime I enter Control Panel, switch it, press Apply it switches back to integrated GPU! I can't play the game because it just won't run on Nvidia GPU and I have to launch it via Steam. How can I permanently switch to GTX600M card? Is there any way to do that instead that control panel which does nothing? Or is there any way to permanently disable Intel HD graphic? Help please!

Dear Qbuteq
Welcome in lenovo community
Have you tried to reset the BIOS
Also you can right click on the game and choose run with Nividia and check .
Just let me know
Thanks

Boot Camp control panel does not load: Windows XP via VMWare Fusion

whenever i try to access the boot camp control panel--either via the diamond-shaped boot camp icon running in the task bar, or through the windows control panel itself--i get the following error message related to administrative privileges:
"An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again."
is this because i am running windows as a virtual machine within fusion? obviously i'm not interested in the control panel for its startup options, but rather for its other adjustments such as brightness, trackpad, etc.
i am logged in as administrator--that is the only account i have--and i am running boot camp 2.1 on windows xp sp3.
boring possibly-related background info:
- i installed sp3 before ever putting boot camp on my windows virtual machine. i started, of course, with boot camp 2.0 via the OEM leopard install disk, but even after that installed successfully, i could not access the boot camp control panel. so i plowed forward and installed the 2.1 update, but to no avail.
- i even un-installed sp3 and rolled back to sp2, then removed all traces of boot camp, then re-installed starting from 2.0, but to no avail.
google reveals that a few others have gotten this error message, but i've seen no definitive answer for any of them.

Check your XP Task Manager to see if the processes are running or not. I found that I had issues with my Boot Camp Control Panel if I let it auto-launch. It would hang and not start properly most of the time (but it would sometimes). I removed the process from the auto-start list and put an icon on my desktop to manually start it, and it works right every time now. As for the special keys, etc many of those only work right once the control panel app running.

BT Parental Controls window won't go away

Hi there,
I use BT Internet and am on wifi. Today I switched on my PC and every time I open a webpage in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, I get a little window from BTInternet asking me if I want to activate Parental Controls. I click "No" and it takes me to a page, saying "You have chosen not to enable parental controls." All fine and dandy. So I click "Close" on that page and it tries to do something, then just times out. I usually use Chrome but I tried it on Internet Explorer as well, where it closes instead of timing out.
HOWEVER
It doesn't seem to be registering that I DON'T want to use parental controls because the message appears on every online shopping website I try to visit, and because it's there, I can't browse any of the pages.
The other PC connected to the router via ethernet is not having this problem.
I've tried clearing cache and cookies and using a different browser (Internet Explorer) but this doesn't work.
Can anyone please help me?
This is what I'm seeing.

Hi laalaa,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting!
Sorry for the problems you're having. There was an issue with parental controls but everything should be sorted now. Can you post back to let me know please? If you're still having problems I'll give you a hand from here if needs be.
All the best,
Robbie

Boot Camp Control Panel Won't Open in Win 7 with 3.1 BC 64bit Drivers

I have an early MacPro running both SL and Win7 64 bit, each OS on a dedicated drive. I installed BC 3.0 drivers previously without problem. I upgraded the BC drivers to 3.1.
Now, if I attempt to open the BC Control Panel, I get an error message stating I "don't have privileges to modify the startup disk." I have administrative privileges! I checked the properties of the Control Panel (resides in Win folder/sytem 32) and ensured that I have full user control. Also, I tried to open the Control Panel in compatibility mode with no success---same error message.
Anyone with a similar issue?? Anyone with a suggestion to resolve the problem.

I'm having same issue. I don't trust that simply adjusting Digital Vibrance is returning my colors to normal. This adjustmet just makes things grayer to me.
Problems started after:
Upgrading SL (10.6.2) on Mac side
Installing Bootcamp 3.0 from SL disk onto win 7.
Downloading and updating Bootcamp 3.1
Colors all look 16 bit and saturated, though nvidia control panel says color depth = 32 bit.
I've tried:
Rolling back my driver to previous settings
manually downloading and installing both nvidia driver versions separately (181.22 32bit + 197.13 64bit)
Also tried going to control panel checking for driver updates (says latest is installed).
I own eye-one display calibration hardware but don't want to go through this process until internal functioning appears normal.
Any suggestions out there for me?
Thanks,
Mike

Windows 7 Control Panel won't uninstall Adobe Drive CS4

As I am now running Adobe CS6, I attempted to use the 'Uninstall or change a program' facility in the Windows 7 Control Panel to remove an entry labelled 'Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium'. In fact, all that currently remains under that heading is Adobe Drive CS4. The Uninstall process for Adobe Drive CS4 appears to be working but then ends with the following message.
Done
Some problems occurred while components were
being removed. Please see below.
However, nothing is shown below that message except an Exit button. The uninstall process has no effect no matter how many times it is run.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or which disk locations are relevant for a manual deletion?

Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
Follow on-screen instructions
This information is NOT correct. Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop. It only shows the most current installation. Photoshop is a great example of why this is so. I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription. Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe. In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident. For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe. Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe. So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused. But that does not help the rest of us.
The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications. I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on. So, I'd add a question for Adobe: How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use. Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed. So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?

Can't get Parental Controls Preference Pane to load

On a fairly vanilla iMac (Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz) running Mac OS X 10.5.4 I get the infinite colored pinwheel when trying to get into the Parental Controls pane of System Preferences.
This has been going on for several 10.5.x releases now, I can't remember exactly when it started.
I've tried repairing permissions and installing the latest combo updater (everything is up-to-date).
The error I see in the console is:
System Preferences[713] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks - that's nice and clear - so only works if I set-up my children with separate log-on and restrict what they can view in their itunes view?
Is there any way of achiving the same with one single account?

Nvida control panel won't let me set up to single or clone display with mbp

In mac os, I have no problem using the external display. But in windows (bootcamp), in the nvidia control panel at the multiple display set up menu, whenever I chose single or clone play for my external monitor(I actually want to use the external display) and when my external display is on, my mbp would flash ones and the Nvidia control panel would blinks then blinks, and keep readjusting back to laptop single display. But when my external display is off, then I chose the single display for my external monitor, my mbp would turns black; then when I turn the ex monitor back on (it shows no signal), instead, my mbp's play would come back on...
Please help me on this, I've google it and found no solution. Thank you.

I've been googling to every website, can't find anything. Asked around too, nobody encounter the same problem. Still no solution. Because of this, I havent use window for a long time. The main reason I want windows is to watch streaming TV in Tudou, I want to use Tudou's video accelerator that's only compatible in windows...

I was downloading music to my iTunes account and playing music from my I tunes library when all of the sudden it stopped playing and the control panel won't let me restart the music.....why

I was downloading music cd from my PC to my I tunes library and playing music on the I tunes player at the same time when all of the sudden my music stop playing and I can't get the I tunes player to restart playing music from my library again. The I tunes equalizer / player box with timer shows the song ready to play but the controls won't restart the song.......why not, and how to I get it to restart playing my library?

- You need to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and start anew. Is the restore button visable in iTunes? If it is they restore the iPod.
- If it is not visible try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If the restore button is still not visable, try placing the iPod in recovry mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Music Control Panel won't stay off on ITOUCH

The music control remains on the screen when I switch between programs. It appears when I press the home button to switch between applications and I can't get it to stop coming on.
What does it look like? It's the IPOD music control box that contains an arrow in the middle pointing to the right which pressed becomes a pause button (fast rewind and fast rewind arrows beneath) This is the box that has the large CLOSE and MUSIC buttons at the bottom.
I have tried to double click to get it off and it takes several times.

According to another post, if you press the home button twice, as opposed to a "single" time, the music buton will appear so you can control your music. Try hitting the button only once and see if the controls appear. My dilemma was the exact opposite and I wanted to know how you actually get the controls to appear, so hopefully this works for you.
