ICloud Won't Let Me Sign Out Of System Preferences

Mar 22, 2012

I've recently installed Lion and moved to iCloud. I have iCal set up with iCloud and it syncs with my iPad.In the iCloud System Prefs Pane, which I'd not looked at before, I have Calendars ticked, but when I click on Sign Out, I get a message telling me: "If you stop using iCloud for Calendars and Reminders, calendars and reminders stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac."This seems to me to indicate that the message generator can't see my tick next to Calendars. Or is it that one isn't meant to sign out in this Pref Pane.?

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 Resurrecting it is imperative, as the cards and other equipment are now out of date and replacing the computer and cards would be enormously expensive (and worse, would mean switching to PC).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 Mavericks :: Unable To Access Safari Preferences Within New Operating System?

Aug 26, 2014

Recently 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.   

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.

Feb 7, 2012

I just bought an ipad and it had icloud and when I attach the ipad to the macbook pro (running lion; up to date) it is not even recognizing that it is attached. I want to put the icloud on the macbook pro because it is not on there.  When I go to system preferences and look for the icon for icloud it is not there. The instructions said that you have to go to system preferences and click on the icloud icon and follow the instructions but I show no icon.

App Store :: Cannot Access Sign In Itunes Store After Lion Upgrade

May 25, 2012

Have just upgraded my macbook to Lion.  I logged into the app store, bought, downloaded and installed Lion no problem.

After upgrade I returned to the app store to download ibooks author.  I can find ibooks author but when I try and install the app I have to sign in and I get a "connection failed" error message.

The same happens in iTunes when I try and view my account - "The network connection failed" 

I can access the internet with no problems - including secure sites. I can access software update with no problems. 

I have made no changes to my network settings - could sign in and download apps before upgrade, unable to after upgrade.

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 :: Unable To Make Any Changes On System Preferences / Put Parental Control On System

Mar 29, 2010

could not be sure whether the Admin user - password reset with the CD would be the solution to my question as suggested in previous threads I searched - and have no idea where my start up install CD is

So my question-

I was trying to put parental control to ask for password when my computer starts up. I did something I guess and messed up the info.

I can log in with my own account when I restart my apple - which says now it is a standard account (must have messed that up)- but can not make any changes on system preferences or anything else that requires login and password. It requires Admin info. My own login that I use now used to be my admin so do not have any other info set.

now on system pref - accounts - an account titled "test" seems to be admin but can not even access that and reverse myself to be the admin since I can not unlock system pref. Or cant click on "Login Options" for the same reason.

There are no other users on this computer than me.

What do I need to do to make myself admin again?

Hope this was somewhat a clear question

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.
