Setup -- my preferences is missing from my OEM 12c.

Here I have 2 question on receiving the E-mails from OEM grid 12c.
1. In my console , I am not able to see setup --> my preferences ( tab)is missing from my OEM 12c.
Somehow I am able to set up my E-mail yesterday by going to setup -->notifcations--> my notification schedule (don't remember correctly how I did it now). Yesterday I got one test mail as well from EM server after setting up. Intentionally I didn't add the another E-mail address yesterday in the E-mail address table.
I am not able to find a way to add another E-mail addresses to E-mail table.

2. Today I adjusted some Metric thresholds to very low to chcek I will be eceiving the E-mails.
I didn't receive any E-mail notifications for the metric alerts. But I am able to see the events underneath each DB incident manager -->events tab.
What is going wrong here ? Why I am not able to receive the E-mails ?
My OEM verison is 12cr2.
Thanks,

Based on the fact that you entered some data in the Manage dialog and you got an email - I would assume that the rule you setup is set only to trigger when one of the incident workflow conditions is met.
If you are interested in getting notifications on a specific metric alert event:
1. Create a rule, Select "Incoming events and updates to events"
2. Select "Metric Alert" in the Type drop down
3. Choose the radio button "Specific events of type Metric Alert" if you are interesting in choosing specific metrics. Click Add on the table that shows up on the right and follow up to add relevant metrics and the severity you are interested in.
4. Click Next
5. In the actions page - click "Add" , Enter your user id in the "E-mail To" text field - click continue
6. Click Next - add a name (if you want to) and click Next to got the review page.
7. Review the rule - click continue.
8. Once you are back in the main ruleset page - click save (I am assuming you have the ruleset setup with the right targets etc)
Beyond this - its a bit hard to do debugging on the forum. Feel free to open an SR and they can pull us in as needed.

Scanner Actions & Printer Preference sections missing from Solutions Center

I have just bought a Photosmart 6510 e All-in-one. I had no problem setting it up on my laptop and easily set it up on an old desktop PC. However I noticed in the HP Solutions Centre on the laptop that two sections are missing from this - 'Scanner Actions' and 'Printer Preferences'. The only sections appearing on the laptop's page are Web connected solutions, Shopping resources, Help & Support and Privacy Disclosures. However the missing sections both appear on my desktop PC's Solutions Center. How can I get them to appear on the laptop's Solutions Center?
The Solutions Center I am referring to is the page that appears when I click on All Programs/ HP/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series or the printer icon.
Desktop PC - Windows 7 Professional (32 Bit)
Laptop - Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
EDIT: I have completely rewritten this post, including the title as I was using the wrong terminology so hopefully it now makes more sense and I can get an answer to my problem. Maybe even an expert one!
Apologies in advance to moderators if I have done the wrong thing by rewriting this, sorry.
This question was solved.

Hi,
To clarify, HP solution center is utilized on prior models. The software title our newest models use when accessing via All Programs/ HP/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series or the printer icon or the desktop icon is simply 'HP software'.
First run the following utility and let me know what results you have
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-96506-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Make sure you have installed the printer with the latest software - a quick uninstall - All Programs/ HP/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series- uninstall and reinstall using the link below will insure this
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-100190-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...=
Do you have any anti-virus or 3rd party firewalls on the notebook? If so, what type and version info.
thanks!
I was an HP employee

AppleHIDmouse.plist missing from out-of-box installation. Right click on mouse not working

Hello all!
I have several MBPs that I help manage. Some of our users state their (wired) Apple Mouse does not right click even after setting it in preferences.
When we looked at those computers more closely, they are missing the AppleHIDmouse.plist file in /System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/Contents/Plugins directory. While other computers have it included and right clicking works with no intervention on our part.
Does anyone know what would cause an out-of-box installation of OS X to miss that file? We copied it from a working computer and placed it into the directory on the machines showing the symptoms and their right button works now. But I'd still like some input from the community for our future deployments.
Technical Details:
The MBPs showing symptoms are 15"-17" with a mix of 8 and 16 GB models.
We tested OS X 10.7.4, 10.7.5, and 10.7.4 w/ Combo Update. All installed as fresh installs. File was still missing D:
Thank you in advance!

Preferences are missing for Time Machine,how can I fix this?

Preferences are missing from Time Machine,how can I fix this?

Please don't SHOUT!
We're all users here and you'll get more help if you give us some coherrent information.
Firstly, do you have an external Hard Drive connected to use for your Time Machine backup?
Secondly "stacks" is not a programme; it's one method of presenting folder icons in the dock, and is accessed from the 'view options' choice which appears if you click on the folder. Right-clicking the folder will go straight to the options menu.

Accounts Preference is missing

Just this morning I noticed that on my Powerbook G4 (running 10.4.11) the Accounts preference is missing from the System Preferences window. I'm not sure what would cause for this to happen. I have shutdown/restarted several times to see if there was a glitch, but it's still missing. I've never had this happen before. I downloaded and am using Onyx to run a clean every now and then, but I don't think this would have affected anything. I remember setting up a new admin user about 7 months ago, so I know at one time it was there. The laptop only has an admin user. I never added guests. When I start up, it always goes to the login screen where I have to enter my password to access the machine, so I know that my account info must be somewhere. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Any suggestions?

IOS preferences plist file is missing

I've successfully defined my applications settings dialogs in my app as I can see them in the Settings panel. However, when I run the app, the preferences file ${ApplicationID}.plist is missing. I've confirmed this by using Xcode in inspect the data files in the application sandbox (/Library/Preferences) the file is not there.
If change any of the settings in the settings panel, the preferences file is created, but only with the values I changed. The other default values are missing from the file.
Am I overlooking something?

The .plist file you want is in user level not root.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.FontBook.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try Font Book.
If it crashes again, then it's not corrupted Font Book preferences.
See if you can do this before Font Book crashes.
With Font Book open, from the menu bar click Font Book > File > Restore Standard Fonts

"Firewall" and "Internet" buttons missing from "Sharing" preferences page

Hi,
I recently upgraded two servers to 10.4.3 (one was running 10.2 and one was running 10.3). On both servers now the Firewall and Internet tabs are missing from the Sharing preferences. Also, under the list of services on the Sharing prefs, there are only three services listed:
REmote Login, ARD, and Remote Apple Events. No other services are listed.
I found this problem because something in the firewalls changed and was blocking access to the servers via ARD. If I stop the firewall, then ARD works. So I wanted to go into the firewall settings and open up the ports required by ARD. Lo and behold, no Firewall tab on the Sharing page!
I've searched everywhere for info on what could make most of the services disappear, along with the Firewall and Internet tabs. But I can't find anything. Any ideas out there?

A call to Apple confirmed that the majority of services on 10.4 Server are now handled through Server Admin rather than through the Sharing preferences window.

TS1846 I have some troubles recently with Final Cut Pro 7 and would like to remove my preferences. I can't find any "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder but I do have some preferences. So, where could be the file ?

"events" is missing from iPhoto source list / left-hand menu

The "events" menu option is suddenly missing from the left-hand side menu of my iPhoto library. See screenshot:
Photos, Faces, Places, but no Events! It used to be there and now it's not, not sure what happened. When I open a different iPhoto library it is there, so it seems like a problem with my iPhoto library? I tried rebuilding the iPhoto database and that didn't fix it. The event data still seems to be there, when I browse the photos view pictures are still grouped by events. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm using iPhoto v 9.6 on Yosemite. Thanks in advance for your help!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Emails missing from inbox on iphone

I have a good number of emails missing from the inbox on my iphone. My only email is gmail. The emails are random, not from any particular person or place. The messages are in the inbox on my imac and also when I access gmail account on my pc. They are simply missing on the iphone. If I access my gmail account on the pc and star one of the messages, then it does appear on my iphone in the starred folder. Remove the star and it's gone (still doesn't show up in inbox). I just noticed this yesterday because I was looking for something, so don't really know how long it has been like this. I have looked at iphone settings for mail but don't see anything to give me a clue why this is happening.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

There are two things you can try.
1. Move the file com.apple.mail.plist from your ~user/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and relaunch Mail. If that's cured the problem, delete the Preferences file you moved to the desktop, otherwise move it back again overwriting the new one Mail just created.
2. Try reinstalling Mail from your Install DVD - this only reinstalls the app itself not the mailboxes, but take a backup of them first, just to be on the safe side.

Downloads missing from dock

Both the downloads icon and the documents icon are missing from the dock. I try to drag them from Finder and nothing happens. Where they should be there are very light grey bars. This sounds odd, but I think they got pulled below the dock. Sometime they appear in grey behind the dock but cannot be opened by clicking on them. How do I get them back.

(this is not going to solve it but it will help us see what you're saying. can you hit shift+cmd+4 at the same time, the cursor will become crosshairs. now hit space bar. the cursor should become a camera. place this camera on the dock, the dock should be highlighted when doing this, and click the mouse.
A picture will be saved on your dock, upload that picture here for us to see.
if you have your dock hidden this will not work, you'll need to right clickt he track where it separates your applications with the trash icon and then right click that go to dock preferences and then uncheck automatically hide and show dock. you can also access these settings in system preferences>dock
should look something like this (I customized my dock so it won't look exactly like this but it will isolate your dock

Calendar missing from iCal's list.

Noticed today that our Work calendar is missing from iCal's list. Checked partner's iMac, iPad, 2 iPhones, MobileMe. Missing from all of them. Turned off syncing with MobileMe on both iMacs & all other devices. Quit iCal/Calendar on everything.
In Finder window selected ~/Library. Entered Time Machine. Selected ~/Library/Calendars. Selected a timeline a few days back. Clicked Restore. Said 'Keep both', & removed original from Library folder.
Opened iCal. When it first loaded the calendars, Work was there, but it quickly disappeared and what's more, events added in other calendars since the timeline date chosen were there too. So there's something else (to do with Sync Services?) I need to turn off or delete....?
I'll be very grateful for enlightenment here.
OS is 10.6.8

These are evidently MobileMe calendars, to which the Apple Tech Note linked to above does not apply; and turning off syncing in System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync has no effect on iCal syncing which no longer uses that method.
This is why your calendar is disappearing: MobileMe sees it as deleted, so every time you add it back in from Time Machine (whereupon it has an earlier modification date than the deletion) MobileMe brings it up to date by deleting it, and also updates the other calendars.
There is a method for dealing with this issue, though it's a trifle complicated and you need to work through the steps carefully and exactly. The process is detailed here:
