I bought a new iMac in November 2013 which has a wireless keyboard and mouse, which worked well but won't connect since OS was updated. I've looked in System Preferences and there is no symbol for Blutooth. In System Report / Blutooth it says 'No Information Found'. It's strange because the keyboard and mouse worked fine up to downloading and installing the update (to OSX 10.9.3.) How I can get the Blutooth up and running again?

My Wifi printer is definitely connected to my Network but when I try to connect it to my iMac using the System Preferences it does not show in the available printers window. How to get connected? Just changed to BT Infinity and installed the McAfee Security package could this be the cause?

Something has happened in my Network preferences and I believe it happened while doing a Spotlight search. When I open the Network preference window, I get an almost instant error dialogue stating "Your Network settings have been changed by another application". As soon as I hit "OK" to dismiss the dialogue box, it comes right back. If I'm really quick, I can get back to the main preferences screen before the warning reappears. I've tried logging out, rebooting, trashing the Library --> Preferences --> apple.networkConfig.plist file (followed by a log-out) and nothing has made a difference.

System Preferences (or Finder) in OSX 10.6.8 appears corrupted - mouse will not activate any commands within any preference, close Finder windows (or open apps with a double click as it used to). No joy rebooting or resetting PRAM and NVRAM.
Preferences within another user account on the same iMac however appear to be working OK.

I just plugged headphones into the headphone port on my iMac(dual core 2.4)
I went to system preferences, sound, then output and only the internal speakers show up.
I rebooted the machine and still, same thing.
edit:
I tried the same headphones on the eMac sitting next to it, and it worked just fine. Still confused about the iMac
I have an iMac G4 with Leopard, and there seems to be a glitch with my System Preferences. I can lock and password protect all of the panes available as I would normally. I have however discovered an issue. These locks seem to unlock themselves after powering back on. I'm not sure if the same happens upon logging back in, as I never log out to start with. Any solutions for this? Better yet, am I the only one who experiences this?

I have a 2007 imac and have done all updates that I know of but the transition to icloud is not working very well.
1) icloud does not have an icon in system prefernces, it's still mobile me. Although there is a message that states the account has been moved, I cannot sync etc.
2) two of my email addresses will not stay connected in mail. Since moving to icloud I have had to reinstall them everyday.
3) I host three websites from iweb but since the change to icloud I cannot find my former account where I can access my web domain info that used to be easily found in my mobile me account page.
