Software :: Access Lost To System Preferences
May 8, 2010I cannot bring up my system preferences under the blue apple icon or through a search. I installed and ran MacJanitor v 1.3 a month or so ago and perhaps that's the cause?

OS X :: Universal Access Has Bigger Font Size In System Preferences?
Aug 9, 2009I am new to the "mac world" ... just got my first macbook about a week ago so this question may have a very simple answer or it may not.
The issue I have is that in System Preferences, "Universal Access" has a bigger font size than any other window under S. Preferences. Nothing is affected, everything works well, but it just bothers me, is there any way to fix this?
I am attaching a screen of Universal Access compared with a window of normal font size.
Software :: Unable To Access System Preferences / Computer Freezes Up
Jul 9, 2010The computer is a dual G4 1Ghz with 2Gb of Ram and two hard drives. Used to run a custom built microscope in a scientific lab. Resurrecting it is imperative, as the cards and other equipment are now out of date and replacing the computer and cards would be enormously expensive (and worse, would mean switching to PC).
There are several issues:
-No response to selecting "About this mac" from the apple logo in the upper left.
-No response to selecting restart or shutdown
-The computer freezes up (pinwheel) whenever I attempt to access System Preferences (window will appear however once mouse is over it, pinwheel appears).
-does not recognize the USB key needed to run a piece of software.
-together these issues prevent us from installing the software needed to control the scope.
I've tried reinstalling (clean not archive) the OS on the original HD and a new HD. The problem doesn't go away.Have also cleared out the systempreferences.plist and the cache for both safari and preference panes.
OS X Mavericks :: Unable To Access Safari Preferences Within New Operating System?
Aug 26, 2014Recently completed the Maverick operating system update. Still getting used to new additions, however I did notice I'm unable to access the Safari preferences section. Â
I know normally, you would follow the drop down menu and click into the safari preferences. Unfortunately now the words in the drop down menu are a lighter grey and unable to click into he section.

OS X Technologies :: Use Applescript To Access The Volume Setting "input Level" In System Preferences?
Apr 14, 2012I want to make a script that adjusts the output volume of my mac based on the volume that the mic hears. I am not very good with applescript, but I do know how to control the volume.

May 1, 2012I have a 2007 imac and have done all updates that I know of but the transition to icloud is not working very well. Â
