System preferences doesnt display text

The usernames will not display at startup, none of my drop menus will display and there is no text in system preferences! 
Help Please   =)

If it really looks Greek, you might want to search your system for the word "Cyrillic."
It could be there's a Times Cyrillic on there that is conflicting with times.
Look in your Font Book while you're there already,
and search carefully for a font that looks like the one you're seeing.
Let us know how you're doing, OK???

  • How to modify System Preferences dialogue box text.

    I know that to change any dialogue box for the finder the path is Devices (name of your device) > (drive name) > System > Library > CoreServices > Finder.app  > Contents > Resources > English.lproj. If you open that file with Text Wrangler you can modify any finder message to whatever you want it to be, my question is how can you do the same thing but for the System Prefrences application? I don't know what path to follow for that. Thank you for any possible assistance!

    I'm specifically trying to modify the dialogue box that appears when you want to modify (add or delete) user accounts in System Prefrences "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences. Type your password to allow this." However I can't seem to find it in either the Finder or System Preferences English.lproj files. Where else might I look? Or do you think I just missed it?

  • System Preferences crash (on text-to-speech settings)

    Every time I try to change text-to-speech settings under System Preferences, it crashes.
    I was trying to change it because I was experiencing crashing in Skype, and Skype recommended I change the default voice for text-to-speech.
    All my data on this MacBook Pro came from my old MacBook Pro via a Time Machine restore. Not sure if this info is helpful or not!

    HI,
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, uninstall Skype and see if System Preferences crashes.

  • In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

    When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance.  This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
    Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work.  However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer.  We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
    Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
    Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
    Thank you

    Hi there!  Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
    But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you.  I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences.  After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
    I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers.  If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
    Take care

  • Strange System Preference Icons Display

    Hi all - all of my System Preference icons except Spotlight and the CD and DVD, have changed into images of switches with the original images showing as tiny rectangles in the bottom left corner of each 'switch'. Fortunately they do all still work correctly.
    I have not seen anything like this in all my many years of using Macs,
    can anyone shed some light on what has happened, and how to rectify it?

    Hi BDAqua - thanks for responding. That instruction you directed me to seems to be designed for more than I need to do, although I must confess it all looks very confusing to me! Do you know what part of it might apply to my problem?

  • URGENT!!!  My System Preferences doesnt show arrangement pane!!!

    i have 2 displays working but they are in mirror.
    i followed instrutions on help but i dont have nothing saying arrangement so i can put the displays in extended desktop.
    can someone help me??
    thanx!!

    Hi, lindezas.
    If the Arragement tab is missing, this means that your video card does not support Extended Desktop.
    See this post on the Mac Mini Discussion.
    Help from an older version of Mac OS X is more explicit on this topic. The article "Mac OS X: Multiple displays setup doesn't work" states:"The Arrange tab in Displays preferences only appears when you have more than one graphics card installed in your computer and your computer can display an extended desktop."The video card in your MIni can only support one display. A video splitter does not permit Extended Desktop.
    Good luck!

    Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player.

  • System Preferences - "Displays" shows no options

    Hello all,
    I was wondering if anyone has encountered the following issue since upgrading to Leopard and whether you have pointers on how to fix it?
    After upgrading to Leopard a week ago, System Preferences option "Displays" shows no selectable options. It comes up blank. I have installed the latest update to OS X (10.5.1) and this update has not resolved my issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I see you've not had any input on the "Displays" issue. I just upgraded my PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz, 2 GB Ram to Leopard 10.5.2. I even reinstalled the OS a couple times, which is a pain, but still didn't get any options. It says "loading displays" if I single click the preference. If I double click it shows a blank gray window. If you have resolved this problem please pass it on.
    Thanks.

  • System Preferences - Display Preferences ---- not opening

    I tried resetting PRAM and NVRAM. Also is deleted the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Still it did not solve the issue.
    Please let me know how i can solve the issue.

    Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. Then have your corporate IT reinstall the image and use the Migration Assistant to restore all of your customizations. See these for details:

  • System Preferences "Display" Pane not showing!!!

    So  recently went to check my system preferences because i was downloading a wallpaper i liked and i needed to see my iMac's dimensions. So when i went to system preferences the display pane wasnt there! its usually under "Hardware" but its not there. I've logged in in safe mode and everything, it wasnt there. I dont know what happened, the only thing i did recently was in Disk Utility, i repaired my disk permissions, but i dont think that could have done anything to my preferences.
    Please help, how can i get my Display Pane back?
    By the way, im running Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8

    How many things do you see there?  Mine has 30 items.  The displays panel file is the oldest, which suggests that the best way to fix your problem is to reinstall OS X 10.6.  You should be able to do that safely over the top of what's already on your Mac's drive, but I'd have a good backup anyway.  After the installation finishes I'd apple the "combo" update for OS X 10.6.8 before you run anything else.  Then use Software Update to apply any other missing updates.
    Since you've already booted into "safe mode" I won't suggest that you run "verify disk" or "repair disk" operations.

  • -to-Speech system preferences crashes

    I've used the text to speech several times in past. Haven't used for a couple months. When I select the Speech in Systems Preferences the display changes to the window for setup with the Text-to-Speech tab highlighed. The System Voice box shows "loading voices", then the Preferences crashes.
    Where are the files for this function located? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Alan

    If you create a new user doe it happen in that account?
    If not, you may want to start removing preference files from the:
    Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername(home)/Library/Preferences folder.
    You might try this one:
    com.apple.speech.prefs.plist
    or if that doesn't help, try:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Move each to the Desktop and restart. If that doesn't help, they can be moved back to the original Preferences folder to replace the newly created ones.
    If it occurs in another user's account, you may need to do an Archive & Install.

  • My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
    First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
