System Prefs Accounts
Opening "Accounts" in System Preferences (10.4.11), I get a blank screen. Regarding this problem, Niel posted this suggestion in an earlier thread:
Open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for user accounts that have no name property or for which the name property is reported as not being an UTF8 string; if you find any, create or change the name property so that it has the same value as the realname property.
Do not delete anything in the NetInfo Manager.
However, I don't understand this solution. I've opened Netinfo Manager, clicked "users," and each user has a name and a different realname. I guess I don't know what a "name property" is. Can someone explain this suggestion a bit more? Thanks.
I don't see "text to the right of the name and realname entries". For example, for user "amavisd" the name (under "property") is "amavisd" and the realname (under "value") is "Amavisd User".

System Prefs Accounts and directory problems
I've had ongoing problems since mid 2005 when I upgraded to OSX 10.3.9/iTunes 4.9/QT7 and my Digidesign 001 Core Audio Drivers. I think I'm now on top of those problems after making carbon copy clones, backups, OSX maintenance utilities etc and finally zeroing various HDs and reinstalling everything.
Just when things were starting to go OK towards end of 2005 starting experiencing the spinning beachball of death when I open System Preferences>Accounts (I always check my Accounts as an indication of whether everhthing's OK or not). I'm getting a wide range of flaky & wierd behaviour even when I use other boot vols with OSX 10.3.9 but same user account volume. Typically Disk Utility, Text View and other apps don't start up etc. I sytematically use a range of disk/system maintenance utils eg Onyx, Cocktail etc to run cron scripts, flush caches, repair permissions, fix prebindings etc. I also run Disk Warrior regularly.
A couple of days ago when things had gotten really bad I booted from my DiskWarrior 3.0.3 CD and every volume I had brought up directory errors (typically):
• 1194 link files had a creation date that was repaired.
• 2 folders had a directory entry with an incorrect custom icon flag that was repaired.
• 14 files had a directory entry with an incorrect text encoding value that was repaired.
• The Root creation date was repaired.
I did multiple passes with DW until every volume came up clean and did multiple restarts from each of my boot volumes. All of my problems were fixed!
Today, I boot my Mac and I'm getting the same flaky behaviour. I've run DW this morning and each of my volumes has the same set of problems as above and I'm now rebuilding each of the directories again.
Anybody help?I don't see "text to the right of the name and realname entries". For example, for user "amavisd" the name (under "property") is "amavisd" and the realname (under "value") is "Amavisd User".

System Prefs window freezing when clicking on Login Items
Can anyone help me with this? In System Prefs>Accounts, I click on the button next to "Password" called "Login Items." It turns gray like I clicked on it, but everything in the window freezes and nothing happens. None of the buttons work except "Login Options." I bring up Force Quit, but the application does not show as "not responding," in other words, it appears to be working fine, but even the red, close window button stops working. The only way to get out of it is to hit command-Q to quit System prefs and then reopen it.
This is annoying, but when you are authenticating with a network ID it adopts settings which restrict access to the login items. If you look in your Accounts control panel, you will see under the name something like Admin, Managed, Mobile/Network (depending on if you made the account mobile). That "managed" word is the problem. If you hold down option when you login you have the option of disabling the management. This will give you full control, but only for that login instance. You can check the save this choice box, but it seems to be useless.
On another note, has anyone figured out how to get around this without having an admin account on the AD domain? -
Duplicate accounts listed in System prefs
Ever since I transferred my admin account from my old Mac to the new machine (MPro 2.66) I've had duplicate accounts listed in the Users tab of the System Prefs. I have two legitimate accounts, my main account and another admin account; the main account is listed again 3 times under "Other Accounts", with the same photo and login info as the original account. They do NOT have folders in the Users folder however, so it's not like they're complete duplicates; they only appear in this panel. It's not affecting anything adversely, just wondering if I can delete them without affecting my account since all the name/login info is identical.
Thanks,
JKBe careful about deleting those duplicates. You might end up deleting your home directory. Make a backup of your machine just in case. If you are wiling to take some risk then proceed.
I played around with this and found that if you have more then one account pointing to the same home directory, then deleting any of the duplicate accounts will not impact the home directory.
However, one of those accounts must be the *Primary Owner* of that home directory and deleting that user will delete the *Home Directory*. Not quite what you want to have happen.
If you try to delete the Primary account you should get a prompt asking you what to do with the *Home Folder*.
Choose *"Do not change the home folder"*
That should preserve it incase you need to get that directory back.
The first think I would do is see if all the duplicates are using the same *Home Folder*
Open up Preferences
Open up Accounts
Ctrl-Click on one of the Duplicate Accounts and select *Advanced Options*.
Record the *Home Directory* for each of the accounts.
If they are the same, then you should be able to delete the duplicates without a problem. Again, if and when prompted, choose *"Do not change the home folder"*.
If the duplicate *Home Folder* point to a different location, then you just have to figure out which is your primary account and delete the duplicates. Again, I'd play it safe and save those home folders until I knew everything was working and there wasn't anything in those folders that I wanted. Once they are gone they are gone.
Good luck! -
So i have read many discussions and didnt find how can i fix it my problem.
I cant uncheck in system pref /icloud/ calendars , because it is grey.
I have never used icloud for calendar...i think i will loose all of my data if i clean the caches...and i cant access to export command in Calendars...
What happens with you, Apple???? The last two years was THE SHAME!!!! I cant believe how many problems got it, more than 8 years before it...
Anyone can help me????
THX!!!!i had the same issue recently. user melisolaris posted this and solved my problem:
1. Force quit iCal and Reminders.
2. On your computer, unlink Calendars and Reminders from iCloud:
> System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Calendars AND Reminders
(I did this because my Reminders uses my Calenders; I set deadlines for reminders, etc. Also, because my reminders weren't syncing with my iCloud as they should.)
3. It'll ask if you want to delete the calendar and reminder events from your computer. Say yes because you should already have the most up-to-date copy on your iCloud.
4. Open iCal. It should no longer display the "moving calendars to server account" message.
5. Add your iCloud account to iCal.
> Calendar > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
6. Give it a minute to update. You should see all your iCloud calendar events with no error message.
7. Quit iCal. Open Reminders.
8. Add your iCloud account to Reminders.
> Reminders > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
9. Test the two programs by adding test events and reminders to see if they show up on your iPhone and your Macbook. -
Opening system prefs is fine...when I click on users/accounts, the spinning ball appears and eventually system prefs just closes itself down.
I've also had a lot of ? Kernel panics....the grey see through screen slowly drops down, the multi language restart writing appears....I restart and it's just the same.
At the moment it feels like my mac is unusable...should I just uninstall lion and reinstall snow leopard?
So...system prefs help please and
Advice re whether or not to uninstall the annoying lion!
Thanks,
NickiOk.....it makes no sense to me (no surprise there I bet).
The latest one looks like this....

Mavericks System Prefs Internet Accounts
The real new feature now is that I can setup an email account under Systems Prefs but I need to re-edit the entries in Apple Mail anyway. Wow!
Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

I am trying to delete a user account but attempt locks up system prefs
I have been trying to delete a user account in 10.9.1 (Mavericks) on a 2009 Mac Pro. The problem is that System Prefs never completes the "archive account" and when check which processes are using up CPU time I find that writeprefs is pegged at 100% and has stayed at that level for seven hours plus. Of course the account is never removed and the only way of restarting the machine is to force quit system prefs after which the reboot works. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Do you really need to archive the user folder?
linc, that would be desirable but not absolutely essential. And, thank you for your swift response! -
Not waking up from sleep-flashes lighted keyboard and screen, and I cannot unlock the padlocks in the system to change settings, look at keychain, etc.
Still cannot unlock system prefs/users etc. Also, many applications are returning errors like: "failed to obtain the necessary authorization" or " '' failed to obtain permission" so I've attached a portion of my log, showing when I attempt to unlock (or click on the padlock) in system preferences - User Accounts:

I can't reinstall ML, nor can I create another user (unless I use Terminal, and I'm a novice at best with Terminal).
I could really use some help here as it's been nearly 24 and I am going CRAZY! Thanks in advance for your help. -
Non admin user - changes not saved (Safari settings, system prefs, etc.)
iMac, 2 users, one is administrator and other is standard user. Recently, in the non-admin user account, it has become impossible to make any changes. For example, adding an application to the the Dock, after logging out and back in next time, the application is not in the Dock any more. Also, making changes to the prefs in Safari, changes are not saved.
I noticed this after installing FireFox v4. I installed it as admin whilst in the non-admin users account. However, I don't believe that the installation of FF has anything to do with the problem, it just highlighted it. I've checked the permissions for the various directories that hold prefs info such as user/libraries/application prefs/etc. etc. and also Safari prefs. Nothing I can see that has changed in system prefs.
Any ideas on what has caused the problem (kids are known to fiddle from within the non-admin account) and any ideas on how to fix it?
ThanksHi PPRuNe,
You could try making the standard user an Admin too. To do this, make sure you are logged in to the standard user, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Standard user (you may have to unlock the padlock) > Allow user to administer this computer
This will allow changes to be made without being prompted for a password all the time.
However, if you had Parental Controls on, they probably won't work on an admin account because as an admin you have complete control over a computer, so the computer thinks there is no point in having the controls turned on. And if the kids are known to "fiddle," just think carefully!
Hope this helps you.

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!
You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
Thank you in advance for your help.OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

Built-In Audio Panning L&R malfunctions, system prefs.
I have noticed on my own Mac, as well as my peers' computers which include iBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, and even a new MacBook pro, that the audio coming from the Built-in audio card will randomly be panned completely to the right, or the left.
A quick troubleshoot will lead you to find that in the system preferences the panning slider is set to the right or left, an undesirable setting.
All of the computers I mentioned are running the latest updated versions of Tiger, 10.4.6, and with the exception of my self running Pro Tools, none of the other computers mentioned are running any third party audio interfaces/cards or software that uses audio other than the applications included with Tiger: iTunes, iChat, Quicktime, Safari, etc.
Unfortunately there is no Lock in the audio system preferences, which could potentially be a quick fix to the problem because if an application like iChat had a bug which caused audio panning, the lock in system prefs. would prevent that..
I am quite boggled.
question:
What might be causing this, and is there a solution?Thanks for the response guys. It seems we're in the same boat.
The problem is intermittent on my machine . It has occurred three times since I bought it. The fist time it lasted for a day and a half. I rang Apple support and went through a number of steps until the P-RAM suggestion which seemed to fix it. A few days later it disappeared again and resetting the P-RAM had no effect. My wife continued to use the computer (without sound) and some hours later it came back after a restart (she only restarted it because she is in the habit of shutting down instead of using sleep). The problem occurred again. That time I restarted the machine a number of times, with and without the external speakers plugged in, with them turned on and off etc. This had no effect. I gave up. Some time later my wife went to use the computer and it came back. I now believe that the P-RAM solution that seemed to fix the problem the first time was just a coincidence.
I rang Apple support again and they gave me the following steps (A,B & C of which I went through the first time the problem occurred):
A: Log in through another account and see if it had the same problem.
- The built-in audio was still missing.
B: Run the disk utility on the hard drive (after booting from installation DVD).
- There were nil problems on the HD, but it did not fix the problem.
C: Reset the P-RAM.
- This worked the first time though it has not worked on subsequent re-occurrences of the problem.
D: Do an Archive Reinstall.
- I did this today; though the built-in audio was working, I just wanted to complete the suggestions the Apple support person gave me. The problem has not reoccurred yet, but it has only been a few hours. I will be using the computer as much as possible tonight to see if the problem reoccurs.
If the problem reoccurs I'll be taking the machine in for warranty repairs, or better still replacement. -
Access to non-apple system prefs
We are in a corporate environment. When setting up new Macs we turn off access to the System Preferences using the Accounts Control Panel. We want to prevent users from changing Network settings, Sharing options, etc. that we setup up for our company.
The problem with this is when we install software for third-party products such as mice or graphics tablets. Many of these items install Control Panels that are accessed only through the System Preferences, but a non-admin user cannot go in and change the individual settings for these devices without having full admin rights to the System Preferences.
Are there any workarounds for being able to control which Control Panels users have access to when using System Preferences?
Thanks for any help!If your users are non-admins, they shouldn't be able
to change the Sharing or Network prefs unless they
enter an admin password. When setting up the new
accounts, go into those prefs and ensure the little
padlock icon is locked.
Apparently this has improved over earlier versions of OS X when I wasn't looking. When we intially loaded OS X I remember turning on the access to System Prefs and locking the various control panels for the non-admin users, but I recall that some of them didn't stay locked. That's why we started turning off access to them completly. After that initial install of our desktop Macs I never tried this again. We've updated the OS a couple times, but never went in and tried this again because everything was working fine. But when I went to setup some new laptops with wireless mice that had their own control panels this became an issue and that's why I was looking for the workaround. It would be nice if Apple gave you a way in System Preferences to turn on/off access to the individual CPs without having to muck with system like this. But this will work for now. -
System Prefs - options greyed out or non-functional
I have been having a bad time lately with my System Prefs. I first noticed it when settings to Mouse and Sound would not retain after a restart.
Now the problems are much worse...
I cannot open the Date & Time pane at all (ignores clicking), all options in Sharing are grayed out and cannot be changed (even though account is admin and the lock is unlocked), I am unable to create a new user, and changes to Energy Saver result in spinning color wheel.
I have deleted every preference and cache I could find in the user and rebuilt permissions but no luck. I am considering enabling root and seeing if that can go in and make changes since I cannot create a new admin user otherwise.
Short of a painful OS reinstall anybody have suggestions?
I also might consider riding it out and waiting for 10.5.Ralph Johns (UK) (to Emily Vu) 19 minutes ago
Hi,
Check the Font AppleGothic.ttf is active and validates using the Font Book app.
if you have to change anything restart the Mac.
If this is not the issue go to ~/Library/Preferences and find com.apple.ichat.plist and Drag it to the Trash and then restart Messages.
The above reply in another thread solved my issue! Namely that my apple gothic font was disabled, breaking the entire Messages app.
