There is no quicktime preferences in System Preferences screen?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard no problem, bought the Quicktime Pro registration, but there is nowhere in preferences that shows Quicktime 7? Is it a separate download?

Look in your Utilities folder for Quicktime 7. If Quicktime 7 is not there, here is how to install it.

If you do have it, look in Quicktimes 7 Menu for registration drop down menu.

Restore Keyboard/Mouse Preference in System Preference Panels?

Dear all,
I have deleted files related to Keyboard/Mouse Preference in System Preferences... under Apple Logo in the top menu bar.
Now it is completely gone - not even a ? mark.
I know I can restore whole system using OS Installation DVD but is there any simpler and faster way to do the same?
May I get those files from someone and put into specific places manually?
Please help.
Regards,
JH

If you deleted files associated with the items the quickest fix would be the 10.4.6 Stand Alone Combo Updater.
This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that were deleted, damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions before and after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
EDIT: I see you have a few Macs so use the COmbo updater that is for the system you're on, from the "downloads page" under "support".

Can't interact with iCloud preferences in system preferences!

Since installing Maverick on my Imac 2 weeks ago I have had issues with the Icloud preferences in system preferences. I click on the icon, nothing happens, same with the internet account button.
I have been through the process of deleting the icloud folder from the application support folder and restarting, I can access icloud preferences on the restart and log in but it works for an hour or so, some times longer but have to go through the process again.
Other symptoms are mail not recieving new mail or being able to send, and having to force quit safari when I shut down imac. these are tempoarily resolved when I go through the above process.
This is the first recurring problem I have had in a lifetime of Mac use.
Any clues on how to fix?
Cheers
Rob

I figured out how to solve the problem. I guess the JavaScript engine in Safari is more robust. IWeb wraps HTML snippets in more JavaScript. I updated the webpage to include the original JavaScript from PollDaddy and the poll now works. Here's the URL:
http://somerville-cya.dyndns.org/Activities.html
Notice 1) I modified the original iWeb code to include my own javascipt effect. 2). The PollDaddy code is shown directly in the page while other snippets are in their original iWeb form.

To use the "Users & Groups" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.

When I try to access some of the system preferences in Mavericks I get an error pane that states "To use the “Users & Groups” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen."
Has anybody had this problem and if so what is the fix?

Usually happens if you opened one that was 32-bit. Then, you need to revert back to 64-bit.

When attempting to set up iCloud on my iMac I receive the following error message 'To use the "iCloud" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen'. I have tried quitting, re-booting etc but still receive this message. Any ideas?

This is a shot in the dark, but try this:
log-in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID
change your password
ensure your billing information is up-to-date
attempt to re-enable your Keychain (again)

RE: removing "quicktime" from my System Preferences?

I have removed/deleted every quicktime from my computer except the one located on my "system preferences" page. How do I delete that one? Thanks for your help. George

Niel,
Thanks for the advice. I did as you said but it was not located there. All the other ones were there. I must have a "ghost" figure showing up after deleting all of the other quicktimes. Now, how do I get rid of the "ghost" figure? Thanks for the info! George

In systems preferences display there is no arrangement tab, in systems preferences display there is no arrangement tab

i had it in OSX 10.8 but not in mavricks

The Mac uses a heavily parameterized Driver for the graphics cards, rather than drivers for each attached display. For this reason, displays MUST respond to requests for their identity and capabilities, so that the parameters can be set properly to get a picture.
You can see whether the display has responded to the request by looking in:
About this Mac > ( More Info ) > Graphics & Displays
to check for the name of the display. "No Display Connected" is exactly the problem you need to solve. Sometimes the ( Detect Displays ) button will help, but sometimes the Display itself needs its settings changed so that it knows the HDMI port is actively connected to a computer.
[√] Mirror displays is RARELY helpful, because it requires both the built-in and the TV to use the same resolution. This does not work very often -- one or the other may go dark. Uncheck this until you get it going.

10.7.5 on 2008 white Macbook, but there is no iCloud icon in System Preferences. how do i set up iCloud?

my friend has a white 2008 Macbook running 10.7.5. i'm trying to set up iCloud for her so she can sync Calendars etc. with her iPhone. however, there is no icon for iCloud showing up in System Preferences; MobileMe shows up instead. how can i set up iCloud on this machine?
she does not want to install Mavericks etc. as this would slow her Macbook down to a crawl (if it even supports Mavericks...)
many thanks!

With Lion you can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system with little down time. OS X: About OS X Recovery

"There was an error in iCloud preferences." System Preferences effor

I just did a clean install of 10.10 Yosemite.
I migrated my user to the new, clean install.
When I launch the system preferences, I can not open the iCloud preference pane.
I get a pop up window saying "There was an error in iCloud preferences."
I have google and searched for a fix. I found a couple of ideas, but none of them worked.
Can somebody help me?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Why is there not a MobileMe icon in System Preferences on my Dome?

My MacBook Pro laptop has the MobileMe icon in system preferences but the Dome does not. Both hosts contain the latest software. Will this prevent the two hosts from syncing?

You've posted this in the iSync forum - the MobileMe forums are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
(iSync has nothing to do with MobileMe syncing, or the MobileMe icon in System Preferences).
You might also want to clarify what you mean by "Dome" - probably means something to you, but nobody else!

There is no icloud icon in system preferences on my mac

I'm trying to upgrade icloud storage on my mac because the "complimentary" storage I got when they switched from me.com to icloud is expiring. The instructions are simple: open system preferences, click the icloud icon, change your options. But I don't have an icloud icon: I've still got a me.com icon, which won't connect because it indicates a server error. Anyone else have this problem?

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

My wireless mouse does not work-how do I link it by wired keyboard? Is there a key stroke to open system preferences?

My wireless mouse, keyboard and keypad for my iMac have all become unlinked for some reason. Just turned it on, no linkage. I do have a wired keyboard that I connected in order to sign on. Now I cannot choose system preferences and link my wireless devices without my mouse. What key strokes are used to choose the Apple, the system preferences in the dock, or some way to start the linking process?

First, make sure your batteries are fully charged; you can also use alkaline batteries if you want. When you insert the batteries, press the depressed button on the right side of your keyboard/wireless mouse; both should automatically "link" onto your computer via bluetooth connection.
Also, make sure the bluetooth devices are linked by going to System Preferences/Bluetooth, and make sure the "On" and "Discoverable" boxes are checked.
And please, post here if you've achieved success.

I can't find Java preferences also System preferences says i have Java 7 but Terminal says i have Java 6

So i downloaded java 7 to run this program called Spigot and Bungeecord and when i ran them in terminal it said i had Java 6 so i called apple support and they said they couldnt help to ask oracle but this lady answered and she had no clue and told me to call an engineer and you need to pay for that so i didnt and now im here As the title says I need help with those things.

There are two different Java distributions for the Mac: one distributed by Apple, and one by Oracle. They don't overlap in function.
The Apple Java runtime (version 6) is needed to run bare jar files and older standalone Java applications. Newer Java applications have the Java runtime built in, and don't depend on Apple's Java.
The Oracle Java runtime (version 7) is a web plugin only. It's used to run Java applets on web pages and Java WebStart applications. You can determine whether it's installed and up to date by looking for a preference pane named Java in System Preferences. If it's present, open it. It will launch the "Java Control Panel." Select the Update tab.

When I try to open "date/time preferences" or "system preferences" they are unresponsive.

My date/time is incorrect and when I try to open it, it is unresponsive. Also, when I try to open "system preferences" from the apple drop down menu, it is also unresponsive. How can I fix that?

You might want to try deleting your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file in your hidden User/Library folder
Use the Finder Go> Go to menu and paste this to expose the hidden folder
~/Library/Preferences
find the file, there will be two of them and Trash the one you can move, reboot and reset your preferences.
You can also use #12 and #13 OnyX routine to find any corrupt .plist files (holds your preferences) and use the same search and delete, reboot and rest preferences steps.

Sharing preference on system preference has disappeared

I wanted to add a folder to share on my network and when I went to my system preferences I noticed that the sharing option is gone. Can anyone help me get it back?

it worked for me too, it's interesting that I discovered this just today when I was installing a VNC client to use from the iPhone and I couldn't find the Sharing preference pane to change the password...
anyway, thanks a lot!

Speech preferences in system preferences

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/chinny123/why.png
As you can see, my speech preferences icon is funky. Anyone know why?

YianHuang,
Quit System Preferences, if it's running and trash the following file:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the Speech Preferences Icon will return to normal appearance.
;~)
