problem,how do i get back my system preference? i think i delete it my mistake.

did you delete it from your dock or did you delete it completely from the computer
if it has just been removed from your dock all you have to do is go into your application folder and drag the system prefrences icon back to your dock .. if you are running an older version of osx go into finder click applications and find the icon for system prefrences there .. if you have snow lepord you can get the icon in the application folder on the right side of your dock
if it has been deleted completely from the computer use the disks that came with your computer to reinstall it
if your too nervous to do it yourself you can always make an appt with an apple store in your area at the genius bar and they can probably get it back for you

How to get back utilities, system preferences and safari

The utilities was lost in my iMac, and so did safari. Maybe my boy deleted them in mistake, he is interested in finding the secret of iMac since I bought it three months ago. I can't launch system preferences to change the setting of iMac, and thanks God, I can connect to internet by firefox. How can I get back utilities and safari? Do I need to reload the OS X 10.4.4 then update to 10.4.9 again?

Your entire Utilities folder and/or its contents was deleted?
If so, I suggest performing an Archive & Install selecting preserve user and network settings. If not and you don't know exactly what your boy deleted (have you checked the Trash?), performing an A&I will take care of everything known or unknown at once.

Now is also a good time to create a backup - preferably a bootable clone backup of your entire hard drive saved to an external firewire drive used for backup purposes only.
And I also suggest creating a computer login account for your boy WITHOUT admin privileges and disable automatic login for your admin account which will require manually entering your log in password for your admin account during a computer startup, restart and with Fast User Switching.
Before stepping away from your Mac or whenever it will be used by anyone that is unattended by you, log out from your account.
Keep the install package for your Mac in a safe place but in a location that is not known by your boy.

How can i get back and app i buy because i delete by mystake

i need to know how can i get back my application because i delete by mistake or i have to pay again for it

If it's in your iTunes library, resynch your iPhone. If not, just re-download it. You will NOT be charged twice if you download it with your same iTunes account.

Install left problems HOW CAN I GET BACK TO TIGER FROM LEOPARD?

so i upgraded from tiger to leopard, then i had a few problems, i.e. itunes would quit everytime i tried to delete a podcast, or editing multiple song info would make it crash. My ms word continously crashes as well as ichat.
So since i really need this maching working for school, can anyone tell me how to get back to tiger?
i tried an archive install and that did not work, i also tried creating a user acount and i know the problem lies within my primary user account, not other newly created accounts, i also tried removing cache and some plists so it would rebuild but still same problem.
So, CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK TO TIGER WITHOUT LOSING ANY OF MY DATA? PLEASE?
THANKS

You can do an Archive & Install back to Tiger.

How do I get rid of System Preference panels that are incompatible?

I need to delete 3 Leopard-incompatible System Preference panels. How do I get rid of them?
(I am currently working on making a new clean install, but I'm using an update-from-Tiger installation until I get my applications and preferences setup on this).

Thanks! I knew it had to be something easy; I just didn't try the right key-combination. For me, without Mighty Mouse, it's ctrl-click to equal a right click.

How can i get back my contacts when they have been deleted?

I tried putting music on my iPhone 5 for the first time and after doing it I realized all my contacts, messages, and photos were replaced with my moms contacts, messages, and photos that she had backed up on to the same computer. How can I retrieve all of the things i had lost?

What address book or cloud service were you syncing them with? Are they still there?

How do I get back my contacts after my som manually deleted them from his iphone with icloud?

How do I recover my contacts after my son manually deleted them all from his iphoe which obviously mistakenly was synced with icloud?

If you are using the same AppleID for iCloud as your brother, then the contacts were deleted. There isn't a way to recover them. Sorry.

How can i get back a deleted text message

how can i get back a very important text message i deleted by mistake.my phone is iphone 3g
thank you

I'm going to post what I found via Google. As I understand, it works for some, not for others, so I'm not vouching for this, so do it at your own risk:
FACT: SMS messages remain on the iPhone after deletion. When “deleted” on the iPhone, they are technically hidden and marked for deletion. Text messages are then deleted only after sync with iTunes.
In order to recover a deleted text message or messages, run through the following 4 easy steps:
STEP 1:
Make sure iTunes doesn’t automatically sync with iPhone when connected.
STEP 2:
Connect your iPhone to iTunes and Back up by selecting Preferences > Backup from iTunes, or right-click on your iPhone and choose back up.
STEP 3:
Restore your iPhone by selecting Restore under Preferences. Note that restoring the iPhone will restore the previous iPhone firmware. Your iPhone will be completely erased after the new firmware is installed. So make sure your back up is good!
STEP 4:
The final step will be to restore your iPhone from the back up you created on step 2. This will allow you to restore any data you have backed up, including the “deleted” text messages.
That’s it!
It’s important to distinguish between iPhone data restore and iPhone firmware restore.
iPhone data restore allows you to restore data you have already backup on iTunes. This is your photos, video, text messages…etc.
iPhone firmware restore is pretty much like a restore to factory switch. This will restore your iPhone to the previous firmware or system and no user data. This option is often recommended if your suspect that your iPhone OS or iOS is unstable.

How do I get back the capacity on my start up disk?

I deleted about half of my startup disk capacity when I was trying to partition. I own a 128gb macbook pro late 2013 retina. How do I get back the capacity? The part I deleted had free space. My storage reads 30.64gb free of 60.24gb.

Then here's my suggestion.
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.
This will give you a whole new start on the SSD.

My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.
