  • CAN'T OPEN ACCOUNTS IN THE SYSTEM PREFERENCES, CAN'T OPEN ACCOUNTS IN THE SYSTEM PREFERENCES

    i deleted the accounts on the ibook to create a new one for my parenst, but now i cant entern neither one of them, and they are not available fo clicking can someone help??? please!

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You can try pressing the Command + s key during startup. This takes you to Single User Mode, where you will see a command line.
    Type this when the command-line prompt (>) appears:
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    When the iBook restarts, you will see the setup screen. This allows you to create a new account. BE SURE to give the new account administrative privileges. You can now use this new account and set it to log in automatically with this new account if you don't want to be bothered with the login screen every time you start up.
    Good luck!

  • Since upgrading to OS5 I know longer receive notice of incoming mail unless I actually click the mail icon.

    Since upgrading to OS5, I no longer receive notificatios of incoming mail unless I actually click the mail icon. Then it connects to the server and loads mail. Any answers?

    Go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure your account info is correct, delete the password and reenter to be sure it is clean.  Go to Mail and then open Preferences and check the account informaiton for the iCloud account and again, delete and reenter the password for the account.  Sometimes the passwords get garbled during an upgrade.

  • Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.

    Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
    but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
    incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?

    It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice,  means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • The Apple trackpad won't except the "pinch open and close" command on Firefox version 4. It is configured correctly in the system preferences. HELP!

    I am using the Apple trackpad with Firefox version 4. The trackpad won't "pinch open and close". It is configured correctly in the system preferences. It also worked in version 3. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Do the related browser.gesture prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page still have a value set for those gestures?
    Which Firefox function should be performed with those gestures?
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?

    How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?
    It is not listed in Login items. I tried all the usual fixes plus Diskwarrior rebuild.

    I suggest deleting the Canon Network Scanner from Login Items to determine if that is the cause. Not knowing exactly what it does, I suspect it is intended to monitor the printer's supply levels all the time. It's not necessary to do that. You can always determine the printer's ink supply level every time you print something, when its Print dialog appears. You can also check its supply levels by opening System Preferences on your own, and selecting Printers & Scanners.
    Bear in mind Login Items is simply a convenience that loads the programs you specify every time you log in. That feature is less important as it had been in the past since Mavericks will re-open everything that was open when you last logged out, if you select this checkbox:
    If you want to add the Adobe programs to Login Items again, search for them using Spotlight. The Adobe programs themselves should not be causing this behavior.

  • Why does most of the "system preferences" not load due to having an intel based mac?

    I used to be able to access ALL of the items in "system preferences". Since the upgrade to Mavericks, which the Apple Store did for me, I cannot use most of them. It won't load my printer information. I cannot access security and privacy, users and accouts, parental controls, etc. Sometimes a window pops up and says "Preference Error" could not load.....pane. Or it will say "Preference Error" (and something like) cannot load ....... because it's an intel based mac.  What the heck does that mean and why does it say that when I used to be able to access everything in the "System Preferences"? Please help! I'm sooooo frustrated and confused right now.  

    Since the upgrade to Mavericks
    In order to get the correct troubleshooting suggestions, please, please pretty please, correct/update your system profile.  Thank you

  • The System Preferences will not open on my eMac. How do I get it to open?

    I cannot get the system preferences to open on my eMac. I think it is a G4 running OS 10.4. How do I get it to work?
    Not sure on this one and apple isn't much help on this.

    First, 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.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.

  • Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites.  I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section.  That seems to work well.  Are there any risks?

    Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.

  • The System Preference:Desktop&Screensaver will not open. I get a rotating circle that never stop rotating. I have to do a Force Stop.

    The System Preference:Desktop&Screensaver will not open. I get a rotating circle that never stop rotating. I have to do a Force Stop.

    Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

    Hi! 
    I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

    Don't change your story now. You did not say through Apple, you first gave a link to this site,
    http://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp
    You said, "Go there and download the latest version of Java"
    that plainly says,
    "Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
    Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac."
    This corroborates me saying that Java for Mac OS 10.6 is done through Software Update, no where else.
    If any Mac OS 10.6 user does not have Java on their Mac, they get it from Apple just as the link you provided shows it is from Apple. Not Oracle. You have provided the evidence that plainly contradicts yourself.
    This is your second link that is to Apple.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Just to go over this again. Software Update not only updates Java to the latest, but if Java does not exist at all, SU will install it from scratch. And in doing so will be the latest version.
    Providing a link to Oracle's site is useless information that does not get Java installed on a Mac running 10.6.
