System prefrences GUI is not loading but the folder does in os 10.6.8

You only get the GUI when you double-click on the app in /Applications/. The normal way to launch System Preferences is clicking on it's Dock icon. All you're doing when opening the package is seeing its components

    My MBP will not lot start up. It chimes on but will not load up the OS. Any Ideas on how to reboot, btw i do not have the OS Disc.

    The System DVDs that originally came w/your MBP has the troubleshooting tools.  Suggest that you find them.
    Do you have any 3rd party utility DVDs?  If so, they may work.  DW would be your best choice.  Does wonders.
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    I purchased a video from iTunes but it will not sync to my iPod.  I get a message stating that the video "was not loaded to the iPod because iyt cannot be played on this iPod."  I tried to use the "create an iPod version" but the command is grayed out

    I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

  • On Firefox, I select one of my usual sites on the URL dropdown menu but the page does not load. Please help!

    I click on the Firefox icon on the bottom of my toolbar screen. I go to the URL dropdown menu for my usual sites; I select one but the page will not load and the URL field is blank. It is a hassle to press the up and down arrows to select the site. Please help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    Hi deb253,
    If you are having sound issues with your new iPod Nano, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at the 6th Gen, but the steps should be similar for the 7th):

  • TS3297 After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    I have the same problem and have been fighting with it for several days. I think the last thing that I did before this happened was to let Quicktime update itself. When I open itunes and click on store, the connecting bar gets halfway and then stops. That leaves me with the white store page, if I leave it alone for a bit, I see words as in names of singers and but no pictures.
    I have ran the diagnostics and see no problems at all, no event logs in windows, no errors at all. I've un-installed itunes and re-installed but no change. I'm using Norton 360 from comcast. I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Also, the help in itunes doesn't display.
    I put in a ticket with apple and the response I got back basically told me to do what I've already done. I created a new user and have the same issue.
    Any help at all will be very much appreciated. I think this started August. 8, 2011.
    thanks so much for reading

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Purchase/install any new app
    - Try the remaining items of:

  • Images are not loading - but work in Preview mode

    Hi -
    I was wondering if anyone can help me.  I'm kind of new to Dreamweaver and I can't seem to figure this out on my own. 
    I'm using Dreamweaver 8.  I developed a web page based on a template in which everything works perfectly in "Preview" mode on all browsers.  But when I uploaded the files to my remote hosting, the template based images (found in the "images" folder) are not loading on the page. The images that I added to the template myself, found in the same "images" folder ($200,000 in ..., and picture at bottom) are loading.  So some of the images in the images folder are loading some are not.
    I've checked the Images folder on the remote site, and they all seem to be there.  I've also checked for broken links, and I'm not getting any (I don't know if that would help w/ missing images or not, but I'm trying everything I can think of).  I also checked to see if there is a separate CSS style sheet, and there wasn't one supplied with the template (there is some CSS info in the code on the html page).  The image sizes are all small enough as well.  Can anyone help me with this? 
    You can view one of the pages at: http://www.200kin5months.com/squeeze-video.html
    Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to help!

    PS - I've attached a screenshot from Dreamweaver Preview to show what it is supposed to look like.

    Your Web server is running on an operating system that is case-sensitive. You appear to have uploaded an Images folder, but not an images folder.
    You do not have a file here:
    images/squeeze-video_425x344_r9_c6.jpg
    But you do have a file here:
    Images/squeeze-video_425x344_r9_c6.jpg
    So you'll need to either change all your image/<whatever> links to point to Images/<whatever>, or upload another folder named images.
    Or, if you want to use a single folder, and if your local file system is not case-sensitive, you might be able to do it in DW's file panel. Here is a method that you might use to have all of them in a folder named images.
    BACK UP YOUR SITE FILES
    Rename Images to Foo (allow DW to update links)
    Rename Foo to images (allow DW to update links)
    Upload the images folder and any/all files that DW changed
    Delete the online Images folder
