OS X :: Can't Access Security Panel In System Preferences

Jan 10, 2011

I haven't been able to access my security panel in System Preference for almost 6 months and I am very concerned......

Everything else in System Preference works, but when I click on Security the program would freeze then shut itself down.....

Does anyone had the same problem and eventually solved it?

OS X :: System Preferences Crash When Opening Background And Screensaver Panel?

Jul 17, 2008

So my friend and I played a trick on an intern here at work who just got a new MBP. We swapped his background out for a vista one - real simple, right.

Well, he got back and had a good chuckle about it UNTIL - the system preferences panel crashed after he tried to switch it back.

So here is the only symptom:
Open system preferences
Click "backgrounds and screensaver"
window opens, looks ok
window closes and error screen pops up saying "system preferences unexpectedly closed"

OS X :: Stopping Startup Processes That Are Not Under The System Preferences Users Panel

Feb 21, 2010

I use the latest macos on a late 2009 mini.

I use a program called smart response. It drives electronic whiteboards and a wireless response system.

I use it at home, and I never actually connect my computer to the hardware. I use it to prepare stuff at home.

Is there a way to stop these processes from loading? I can kill them, but as a mac os newbie, I have no idea how to take control of them in the mac.

The windows equivalent would have been to go and disable the startup process under the administrative tab in the control panel.

Software :: Access Lost To System Preferences

May 8, 2010

I 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? I have been missing my Mail prefs for a long time so switched to Thunderbird but I don't know if the two incidents are related. iMac G5,1.6 GHz, 1.5 GB, OS 10.3.9

OS X :: Universal Access Has Bigger Font Size In System Preferences?

Aug 9, 2009

I 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, 2010

The 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 :: Can't Access Router Control Panel?

Jan 22, 2009

I have two computers (Mac and PC) connected to a cable modem via Belkin router. Both can connect to the Internet.

My Power Mac G5 2Ghz has two internal hard drives. My primary boot drive has Leopard 10.5.6 and the secondary has Tiger 10.4.11.

I had the built in Firewall set for "Allow only Essential Services" then I changed it back to "Allow all incoming connections" before I installed Netbarrier X5. My access to the internet and router/control panel was fine.

Then suddenly my G5 (Leopard) was no longer able to log into the router/control panel only the PC (Windows XP). Tried Safari and Firefox and both come back with the error message "Safari can't connect to server."

When I boot the G5 into "Safe Mode" it is the same thing, can connect to the internet but have no access to the router control panel. So it can't be Netbarrier.

But If I my G5 reboot with my second drive that has Tiger. My access to the router's control panel is restored.

OS X :: Unable To Unlock Security Preferences?

Oct 20, 2009

I recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6 from OS X 10.5, but after that I have been unable to unlock the security preferences. Also whenever I try to install any software or update, instead of asking me the administrator password, the system does nothing, no dialog box appears. When I tried to unlock the security preferences in the System Preferences, after the clicking the 'lock' icon, the status bar shows "Authenticating....." for a couple of settings but nothing happens after that!

I am using Intel MacBook with Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM
