System Preferences - ScreenSaver Pref Damaged & now Dock MIA

I have 2- 27" iMacs, both with OS 10.7.5, one I was going to use for teaching and never used (updated...etc) it was in the box for a year and a half. I DID HOWEVER, Upgrade the Memory and MAX it to 16GB. When I recently sold it to my employer (TO MY HORROR) I discovered that the company I purchased it from...had put in 2 bad memory chips and was crashing and causing a Kernel Panic Window to drop and damaged some of my 4.5GB (YES GB) files in the process.
After 4 days of HORROR and bringing the software up to date, repairing permissions....etc... I finally figured the chips were bad - then had to experiment as to which chips were bad....2 Chips were bad...so I replaced the chips (thankfully still under warranty) and now - NO more crashes (knock on wood).
HOWEVER, in the process...my System Preferences are goofed up as well as other .apps that come standard. iphoto...etc.
The System Prefs would crash every time I tried to open the window...so I had removed the Preference Pane for the screen saver, because I thought that was what was crashing me, I thought it was putting itself to sleep.
The System Prefs  DO open now without the Screen Saver in there...however...now my Dock is gone.
I'm able to work in Photoshop CC and my programs...but my Sys Prefs are still goofed up and I don't know what happened to my Apps! What a frustrating, hair greying week!
I know this is long winded but hoping to help others that are having Kernal Panics and shut down issues.... that it may be a damaged RAM Chip issue and NOT a power source...or anything else that requires putting it in the shop!
I am making a USB REBOOT so I can reinstall OSX Lion...but don't want to lose what I have. Can I back up this on File Vault? I kinda hate backing it up there since the system is all monkeyed up. Can I just back up programs and files? Can I "Restore in place"? It says it runs a Diagnostic... is this true?
Just need advice so I don't lose my mind and credibility with my new employer by selling him a problem!

Ha! Ha! Maybe I will resolve my own issue... Here's where the USER LIBARY can be found. Holding down the OPTION key open the GO menu in your finder. Scroll to Library and that's where you find it. It's no longer in your USER Folder on the desktop. This is where "com.apple.desktop.plist" can be deleted. So I will try that FIRST thing...hope I can get my dock back.
NOW. Should I find and dump all the Prefs for the Apps? Maybe that will help first. Since they may still crash... we shall see

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
    First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
    If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart

  • System preferences: screensaver is not functioning.

    was updating flashplayer and ended up losing my "screensaver" alltogether. Now everytime I go to system preferences and then click on "screensaver" after a couple of seconds the application quits. And get the following error message:
    "The application system preferences quit unexpextedly after it was relaunched. The problem may have been caused by the Flashplayer-10.4-10.5 plug-in".
    I have even uninstalled flashplayer  but it still not working. Once I click open the screensaver application, first of all there is nothing no images, blank page now, seems like everythins is deleted and then after two seconds it quits. The only screensaver that comes up on the computer is Apple's own insignia. Thanks,
    Mike

  • System preferences icon still in the dock but invisible

    I have this problem and I don't know how to fix it.
    The system preferences app is still working properly, the problem is that the icon is missing, it seems to be still on the dock, when the system preferences app is open there is even the little light underneath, but there is no icon, just an empty space. What should I do?
    If I could post a screen shot would be much easier to explain.
    Thanks in advance
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Click on the icon in the Dock and hold down the mouse as you drag it upward. It will disappear in a "poof".
    Now, open the Applications folder and drag the System Preferences back into the Dock and try again.

  • System Preferences will not open now

    I can't get the system preferences to open. It's showing in the dock and won't open either thru double click or by right click open. I went to the hard drive and found it listed there. Still won't open. We are NOT on a network. There are only two users and we normally don't mess with any of the stuff there except to change the desktop and screensaver photos. That's what I'm trying to do again, but it won't work. Any suggestions as to 1) how I can open my system preferences and 2) what caused this? We are novice users so pls consider that in your reply. Thank you a lot.

    HI,
    Can you access System Preferences from the Apple Menu. (Apple logo top left in your screen) Click the Apple logo, then click on System Preferences. If it doesn't open...
    Read the posts on this thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8968038&#8968038 If that doesn't help...
    Try repairing disk permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot. If that doesn't help...
    Go here. Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update This update includes *general operating system fixes* that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
    Even if you ran Disk Utility and repaired disk permissions already, do it again after you install this update.

  • System Preferences does not open in Dock, Apple menu and in apps?

    I'm experiencing an issue with System Preferences. One day the I noticed that the Icon changed to a white page with the "Applications" "A" on it. Since then, I have not been able to launch the System Preferences in my profile. In my wife's, it works fine.

    It changes in the Dock, or in the stacks pop-out window? If the latter, try double clicking it from within /Applications directly.

  • `I had to do a force quit to get the spinning color wheel off the screen for itunes, system preferences and finder.  `now the screen is lit but it cannot find finder and the itunes icon just bounces up and down whenI click on it-whay should do?

    I think my card reader was just taken out of the back of my mack pro without proper ejection. I had to use force quit on everything open to get rid of the color wheel.  `itunes, system preferences, finder were open and not responding.  `now the screen is lit but if `i click on itunes the symbol just bounces and for finder it says finder cannot be found 10810.  What should I do next?  Thanks-

    Hi Janice,

  • System preferences: screensaver crashed

    Hi,
    anyone have my problem? when i try to change te settings to the screensaver, it crashes, and i have to open it again, and then it crashes another time.
    first it worked, but a couple of days ago, the that problems began... how can i do?
    thanks

    You need to find a file that begins with "com.apple.screensaver." (like com.apple.screensaver.034e56af32fe.plist) in the directory…
    YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
    Once you found it I would suggest you…
    1) Restart your computer
    2) Go directly to the file
    3) Move the file to the Desktop
    4) Restart your computer
    And now you should hopefully be able to use and change your screensaver. If all is well yuo can delete the file on your Desktop.

  • Really confused here. I have somehow created both a managed account and an administrator account. The admin acct is now highlighted in system preferences. We are now blocked from using our computer because parental controls keeps popping up.

    In attempting to add a music lesson program for my daughters band lessons we have messed up our computer. I now have both a managed account and an administrator account (both in my name).  It is using the managed account now and not letting use the Internet because parental controls keep popping up. I would like to delete the managed account and get back to the admin account but I have no idea what my login is for the admin account. We have never had to use it before this problem started and what we thought it was when we set it up does not work. Any ideas?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery 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 OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then 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.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • System Preferences will not stay on my dock

    My System Preferences icons disappeared from my dock. I dragged it back from the applications folder but it disappears when I close the application folder. If I leave the application folder open and then open the system preferences it will stay on the dock until I close the system preferences window. I've repaired permissions, delete the com.apple.dock.plist. Any ideas ?

    Drag back the system pref icon to the dock.
    Right click and hold the mouse button untill the options window appear and then choose-select
    keep in the dock.
    hope this helps.

  • How dom I recover system preferences which I accidentally trashed from the dock

    How do I recover system preferences which I accidentally trashed from the dock

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Although you removed System Preferences from the Dock, you still have it, because it is stored in the Applications folder.
    To get the System Preferences icon back in the Dock, open a Finder window and select Applications in the Finder sidebar. Then, look for the System Preferences icon, and if you find it, drag it to the Dock

  • System Preferences no longer stick after 10.10.1 update

    I've upgraded from OS X 10.10 to 10.10.1 today.
    The upgrade caused various system preferences to change, and now I cannot change them back.
    While System Preferences.app seems to accept my changes, they are reverted after I quit and restart System Preferences.
    For example:
    Language & Region:
    - I used to have various languages in the list of my preferred languages. Since the update, only German remains in the list. Adding other languages does not stick.
    - My Region is set to Germany - English, which causes german text but english number formats to be used. Changing the number format to german does not stick.
    General:
    - When I click the scroll bar, this now causes the document to move by one page. I used to have the other setting (move to that location), but cannot reenable that.
    - Windows are now closed upon quitting applications. I don't want this, but removing the check box does not stick.
    Does anybody have an idea what the root cause may be and how to fix this?
    With kind regards
    Piers Walter

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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.

  • System Preferences Crashes or Hides on Open

    This issue just began recently -- I can't seem to pinpoint any changes is usage habits that would have caused it.
    Upon opening, System Preferences will show in the dock but require me to click on the icon for it to show.
    In many other cases, opening the Desktop and Screensaver Pane causes System Preferences to freeze alltogether. It seems to have an issue loading Aperture and iPhoto Libraries. I can't tell which, or why.

    Quit System Preferences
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"
    and delete these files/folders:
    /Preferences/com.apple.system preferences .plist
    /Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.<12digitHexNumber>.plist
    /Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Preferences/By Host/com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist of them)
    Also,/Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    Launch System Preferences and test.

  • System preferences wont open

    so im still kinda new to my macbook and the other day i noticed that my system preferences was gone and i can not find it, and i do not know what i did or what happened. is there anywhere i can download it from or anything like that?

    If its icon isn't on the Dock, then open Mac HD/Applications/ and drag the System Preferences.app icon onto the Dock. Assuming that you're new to Macs, but familiar with PC boxes, see these:
