Systempreferences does not appear

Under the menu I cannot open systempreferences or dock preferences.  It does not work.  And suddenly also the date in the dock was disappeared.
I already looked in spotlight under in dutch "systeemvoorkeuren",  but nothing happens.
Who can help me.

If you can find disk utility (in your applications folder)  ... repair permissions. If you have time to spare, I see you are on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, you could download and apply the combo updater ... below.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
That should restore any minor corruptions.   Doesn't matter if you have done this before.

  • External HD does not appear in Mac HD

    I have a 2 TB Western Digital External  Storage Drive for Mac, which I used to back up some data, attached to my G3 (upgraded processor to G4 Sonnet) B/W desktop.  The drive (My Book) and a separate disk documentation (WD SmartWare) appears on the computer's desktop.   The My Book  does not appear as a device when I view the contents of the system HD.  The SmartWare Disk does appear as a device on the HD.  I can access the drive and the contents and even eject the Drive.  But since it does not appear as a device when I bring up the contents  of the System drive, I can no longer save any data to the external drive.  Since I can access the contents of the drive, it did initially work.  i tried to retrace my steps but can not think of anything I did.  I attached the WD external Drive to my G4 PowerBook and both drives appeared under the PB's system HD.
    Soes anyone have an idea what  might have done to cause this problem and how I can get it back to function correctly?

    Hi Darrel,
    Some ideas to check...
    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2474
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network.  I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up).  There is no explanation why.

    I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked.  However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer).  There is no explanation as to why not.  Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what?   Can it be fixed?  I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail.  What am I missing?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hey innerev2003,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
    If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

    Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

  • BPM Application Link does not appear in BPM Workspace (11.1.1.7)

    I spent huge amount of time to reveal why does that happens.
    All that follows further is valid for BPM Suite 11.1.1.7.
    The scenario.
    You developed a simple BPM process with Initiator pattern (maybe by following the "Quote Request" tutorial).
    But the application link did not appear in BPM Workspace.
    Here i'm skipping any kind of mistakes as "oh, incorrect swimlane", "oh, i did not include the user to the app role" and so on.
    At first, you should know about the "feature" - You have to attach task form to the Initiator Human Task to see the App Link.
    The simplest way to do that is to AutoGenerate task form (and deploy it, of course).
    Else the Appication Link will not appear.
    One exception to this rule - If your Task HAS NO PAYLOAD (no parameters) the Task Form is not required (to appearing of the Application Link).
    The second find is a bug (is think so).
    If you edited the Role that Attached to the swimlane of Initiator Task, you will not see the Application Link.
    If you look to organization.xml you will see something like this:
            <ns1:applicationRole id="StartTask.InitRole" isProcessRole="true">
                <ns5:name>StartTask.InitRole1</ns5:name>
                <ns1:processRole id="InitRole" name="InitRole1"/>
            </ns1:applicationRole>
    The Application Link will appear ONLY IF THE "applicationRole id", "applicationRole name" and "processRole id" have the same value.
    When you edit name of the application role in Organization Editor you change "applicationRole name" and "processRole name" values.
    After that "applicationRole id" != "applicationRole name" and the Link does not appear.
    How to fix?
    Just edit organization.xml (with external editor) - change the "applicationRole name" to the value of "applicationRole id".
    That allows to have value of "processRole name" something like "The Initiator Role" - that value appears in the BPMN diagram of process.
    Also you can edit organization.xml with Organization Editor and set the Name to the value of "applicationRole id".
    In that case the associated swimlane will have the same name as the "applicationRole id".
    Hope this helps somebody

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

    Well, that's fine for the OS, but sometimes not so great for Photoshop.  Try QUITTING Photoshop from the Photoshop menu, or by Command Q, before you get anywhere near your Apple menu .
    Gene gave you sound advice, but don't forget to run Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility before and after any installation, upgrade or update of the OS or any application.
    You'd think that shouldn't be necessary, but it is indeed vital, indispensable routine maintenance.
    Forget about "it had never happened before", Yosemite is a work in progress.  Apple never gets a major OS X release right until about the dot four or five release, so Yosemite has a way to go before it's at 10.10.4 or 10.10.5.  That has proven to be the nature of the beast.

    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.

  • Media Manager does not appear on my second stb

    I downloaded Verizon Media Manager and installed it without problems.  When I checked my HD stb the program is listed and I could use it.  I do not have any kind of recorder on the network.  When I check my non HD stb the VMM does not appear.  This is the unit I want to use as it will allow me to play music through the home theater sound system.
    So, am I limited because I do not have a recorder or does the feature not work on non HD stb?  If this is the case, I might as well delete the program from my PC.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi. I apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately at this time, the standard def STBs do not work with Media Manager. It doesn't have to be a DVR, but the stb has to be an HD box. If you do not wish to upgrade the STD box at this time and depending on your setup, you can always swap the STBs and move the media manager functionality to where you want it.

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
