System Preferences corrupt  ! install disk missing

For some reason my System Preferences stopped working saying its corrupt or missing and having just moved i now realise i have lost my system install disks.
What can i do i cannot believe i left the disks have rang to people were i live and whatever was left was thrown out ! how stupid can you get to leave vital disks behind.

Ok this is what happened i had been using a USB CF card reader HY-01001 no problem yesterday i had company and the llid was closed and i will still online. I took the card reader out when i turn it back on i got a security message about startup and a file called pace--something ! i took no notice really. Then i tried the card reader and that no longer works i know i never installed any software for it in the first place. I rebooted a few time but every time i got the message saying cant start up system preferences so i tried to start from the application folder but it was report not working, so i went to the directory and deleted it (after all its only an app) there was something above it called pacexxx (cant remember full name) so i deleted that. I have had this happen once before but reinstalled from my disks. Then i realised that i have lost the two disks. I had to move in a bit of a hurry and yes i forgot to pack the disks yes its my problem.
Now the Macbook 6.1 (late 2009 the serial trace says) is running the card reader will still not work yet my internet dongle works so the USB seems ok and i cannot find a download for the app system preferences. I have no idea if the Macbook as screwed the card reader up or somehow blanked card readers. sorry rambling on a bit
Apple, well to be honest i could not see why i could not find a download for the system preferences app as it seems to have problems. Its not just Apple but every company seems to use high cost phone lines and you get through to a computer designed to get as much time and money out of you as possible. Having said that i love my Macbook and iPhone so love Apple products i never registered the Macbook but signed up with Apple using the serial number so its my original bought and paid for Macbook 6.1.
Sorry once again about rabbling any advice
Why the card reader no longer works .
Can i make it work again ?
Can i find a download for the missing app ?

    Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

  • Systeme Preference Corruption for All Users!

    In one of my user account, I can't get the scroll bars to show!!!
    I want in preference-general and select ''Always'' under Show Scroll Bars, but I can't see them in Safari, Mail...
    When I close Preference, my ''Always'' selection is gone and it return to '' Automatically based on input device''
    Also, issue with Screen Saver. I can select any Apple default screen saver. My iMac always play my iPhoto Library.
    I'm suspecting Systeme Preference Corruption in all my users.
    In previous post, Frank recommended to boot from recovery disk, go to terminal, rset paasword window and slect ''Reset Home Folder Permissions and ACLs''
    This is what I did, exept, it was running after 24 hrs of waiting and I decide to quit. It did the same with all users...
    Do you have a solution to this issue?
    NOTE: Lions was reinstalled and HD erase. Repair Disk Permission done, Safe boot done.
    What do I got left?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Missing "sharing" option in system preferences after installing apple remote desktop client version 2.10

    Hi All,
    I installed a wrong version of Apple remote desktop client , 2.10 and the sharing menu under system preferences vanished. I tried to uninstall the Apple remote desktop with,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
    but no luck, but after restarting the macbook pro with lion 10.7.2, i see my sharing option enabled but when clicked, it says the system preference has to restart and confirming that it restarts in 32 bit mode and even after clciking the sharing option it says, "you can't open sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac"
    . So i strongly believe the apple remote desktop is creating the issue.
    Can someone help how to fix this please?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
    Any ideas?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

    Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
    As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
    - Mike

    Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
    I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
    Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
    What can I do now?
    Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

  • Can't Turn of keyboard backlight in system preferences after installing Lion.

    After installing OSX Lion backlight on the keyboard on my Macbook Pro will not shut off even though it says it's not activated in system preferences. Is anybody else having this problem?

    Ditto!
    How did they miss it?
    Can we expect a fix in a .0.1 release?

  • Unable to authenticate myself to make changes in System Preferences or install programs

    Hello everyone I am just freaking out because I don't want/can't reinstall the system!!
    I just recently started having the problem that every time that I wanna install something, when it should ask me for my password to authenticate my admin account, the window never shows up and the program shows up as "Not responding". The same problem occurs when I try to click on the padlock in the System Preferences to try to make a change it changes from "click the lock to make changes" into "authenticating" but the window never shows up (images below).
    I am the only user with Admin rights in my Mac OS 10.10.2; MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011), 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 10 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB.
    I have tried:
    - I restarted - no good.
    - Repair the permissions - no good.
    - Also tried repairing the keychain access - no good.
    - In Terminal I tried: sudo killall -9 securityd; sudo pkill -HUP securityd; ssudo killall -HUP securityd - no good (and said that only Apple apps can do that).
    I checked in the console and this comes up:

    Unfortunately the situation persist I keep having the same problem and I cannot  authenticate! Still the window to enter my password doesn't show and the lock stays saying "authenticating" even after I reinstalled! :-( what could it be? !

  • Problems with Mobile Me System Preferences after installing Snow Leopard

    I installed Snow Leopard yesterday, and noticed that my calendar was no longer syncing between my mac and my iphone. I opened the system preferences/mobile me pane and my .mac account came up, but when I tried to hit the "sync" pane it just froze. It did this repeatedly. I trashed the system preferences file and tried again, with the same result.
    Any ideas? I'd really like my calendars to continue syncing across devices.

    I had same issue, this cured it for me...
    - Open MobileMe in System Preferences
    - Click Advanced
    - Click Reset Sync Data
    - Select Calendar from drop down menu/pop up list
    - (In my case I changed the arrow, to copy all calendar events from my mac to mobileme)
    This resets the data in mobile me.
    After this the sync function worked as normal & my iPhone syncing was ok as well...
    Hope this helps

  • System Preferences---corrupt Icon?

    When I open my System Preferences, the former icon for the printer seems corrupted. I can click on it, and it will open printer/fax preferences, BUT the icon itself looks strange. It's an oversized light switch with "print & fax" at the bottom half-way cut off. I certainly don't remember it being this way last time I opened system preferences!
    I've already tried to re-start, but it did not fix the problem.
    Thanks!

    post back if the suggestions there didn't help... but it looks to be precisely the same problem (corrupted cache).... cheers

  • System Preferences/Security/Location Services MISSING

    I did a clean install of OS X 10.6 on a mini and noticed Location Services in System Preferences > Security > General.
    I turned it off and went to another computer, a Mac Pro, that had an existing install of 10.6. But wait, the Location Services preference is gone, not existent. It is completely absent from the old/existing install (10.6.4).
    How is is possible Location Services is absent on one computer and present on another computer?
    +I have admin rights on both computers and read the Apple help topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4239+

    Kappy wrote:
    Do you mean the option to disable Location Services?
    That option doesn't exist. The whole preference is gone. Not just the toggle button. The whole thing is nonexistent on an existing install.
    It might be Safari 5 installs a location preference. Still looking.

  • System Preferences Corrupt

    My problem is: when I go into system preferences my start up logo is all corrupt looking. a. Why is this? b. How can I fix it/reset it back to original state? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

  • System Preference Pane Corrupt

    Hi, I have an unusual problem well I think it is! In System Preferences the Startup Disk Icon is corrupt, the text does not display and the icon is almost like a white box, still works if I click, just wondering how I can get it back to normal without having to re-install my whole system.
    Cheers

    u need to check if the same issue happens in a new users by going to sys pref>accounts> create new user .
    then u would need to login to that other account and check if the new users shows up the same way .
    if not its a user related issue .
    so u need to login back into that main account and remove the pref for system pref from HDD/users/username/lib/pref/system pref.plist .
    drag this file to the trash and try

  • Won't read install disk in drive-any way to restore HD to factory settings?

    I am trying to wipe my iMac's hard drive and restore the computer to factory settings so that I can donate it to a nonprofit with none of my data. However, even though the CD/DVD drive works fine with other CDs/DVDs, when I install the iMac "Software Install and Restore" disk (#1), the computer isn't able to read it. It doesn't pop up on the desktop and when I try to restart holding down the C key, it doesn't work either. Is there any other way to restore the computer to factory settings?
    I inserted the same disk in my laptop and it is readable there, so clearly a problem with the disk drive, but yet it's able to read other disks... I'm stumped...

    Unfortunately, neither of these worked. The problem is that the drive is not reading this disk, for whatever reason. When I tried to reboot from the disk by pressing "option", I only get the HD as a choice and after attempting to read the install disk, the CD/DVD drive gives up and the drive tray opens. When I tried putting the disk in and going to System Preferences and Startup Disk, the only two choices I get are "Macintosh HD" and "Network Startup". No sign of the disk in the drive. Is there someway to log on to the install disk online, via the web? or to download the software from the web?
    What's particularly baffling is that I just used the drive yesterday to burn some photo archives as well as to view some old disks to see what was on there. The drive worked fine then.
