TS4001 To use the "iCloud" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.

And I reopen SP and the same message comes up.....please help

Just got same problem.
#1. There is no Box, under Label or anywher to uncheck or check.
#2. The device I want to use does not have an update driver. What I really need if for the Box to check or uncheck which should be there according to Apple Help.
#3. I tried this, resetting the whole computer's kernal extension by using a Terminal command (although I don't like doing that). It didn't work. sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386
So I reset it to: sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
But emphasize, again, I don't like doing SUDO commands in Terminal.
So...Anything else to try?
Thanks for any info that might help.

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)

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.

System Preferences "Must Quit and Reopen" No "Open in 32-bit" Option to Uncheck

Everything worked fine when I had 10.7. But I still updated to 10.8 when it came out. I spent quite a while trying to figure out why I couldn't use many of the preferences in the system preferences. I kept getting the message: "To use the ____ preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen." Quitting and reopenning sends me on an infinite loop.
I've scowered the support communities and found no help. The communities kept saying I should go to the System Preferences file in Applications, go to Get Info, and uncheck a box that says "Open in 32-bit Mode." Unfortunately, I have never had that box. Today I updated to 10.8.4, hoping that this would finally get fixed. It was not.
Is there any solution I'm missing?

System preferences must quit and reopen 32-bit unchecked

Hello,
Whenever i try to open Network, users&groups... i get this message "To use the “name of pane” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen."
I've already checked that 32-bit mode is unchecked I've tried repairing disk permissions with no luck so far.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

TS4403 I am interested in using the ICloud as a storage for my pics and music on my laptop, but I wanted to know if it will work before I pay. Can I do that or do I have to get a different kind of storage

Is Icloud a good solution for back up storage for a Windows Vista Lap top?

No, iCloud is not for the storage of data from your computer. It is for the storage of data from your iDevices.

I converted an album to a slideshow: I exported it, selecting itunes as an export option. A window comes up that says iphoto at the top, but nothing happens. Also, this window will not close with the red button - I have to "force quit" and reopen iphoto

I can't seem to export a slideshow from iPhoto. I go through the export routine, but an iPhoto page comes up with other slideshows I've sent to iTunes, but nothing happens. I've waited, hoping something was happening, but nothing does. Further, once this page is up, you can't click out of it with the red button - to get it off the screen, I have to "force quit".

With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
*One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
*Never
*When I have only one tab

System preferences automatic 'quit' and re-open'.

I cannot get System preferences to quit and reopen to allow for 32-bit compatability mode to work.

Somehow the .plist for the auto backup had its' permissions changed. No idea how, since I haven't fooled with it or with any Time Machine third party apps.
For future reference, you probably didn't need to do a restore. A "full reset" of Time Machine probably would have done it. See #A4 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
Either way, Repair Permissions noticed a problem and fixed it. My problem is resolved. Thanks so much!
For bonus points:
When I did a restore, to my pleasure, I surprisingly found that it had included all my configs and even my wallpaper. I thought it only backed up data.
No, Time Machine backs-up your entire system: OSX, apps, configuration, users, preferences, etc. (unless you exclude things).
If I exclude the Library folders, will all these settings not be backed up
Correct. In most cases, it's a bad idea to exclude much of anything. See #11 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

ICloud Mail couldn't be disabled from the iCloud Preference Pane.

I want to disable iCloud Mail, but, from my system preferences I get this error message:
" iCloud Mail couldn’t be disabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open Mail and remove your iCloud account from Mail preferences."
When I open Mail preferences, there is no account for iCloud.
I was going to try to set one up and delete it, but while it set up, I still can't see it so I can't delete it.
Please advise.

HT203796 I don't have the iCloud icon in "SYSTEM PREFERENCES" , any ideas?

I could synchronize my iPad with my Mac Book Pro before replacing the hard drive and recoveing data from my Carbonite backup.
Now I don't see the iCloud icon in SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
Is this a common occurence?

Welcome to the Apple Community alapan.
Which operating system are you now using, OSX 10.6 and earlier do not have iCloud.

I've seen the opposite issue. My wife recieved an email with jpg attachments. She couldn't see or print them on her iPhone 4S but they showed up fine in iCloud or in the mail app. I had her forward the email to herself and then they showed up. I assume there is an issue with how Apple is processing the attachments and resending causes them to get reformatted in a way that makes them easier to handle.
So yeah. Seems like some bugs. Hope Apple fixes them soon.

Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

Following = Impossible; no such option in mail preferences - iCloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open Mail and add your iCloud account from Mail preferences.
