• Problems of system preferences

  I had this problem for some time. I tried all of the solutions that I can find online, without success. However, I noticed today that when I have open Preferences (Apple menu) system, it says 'Network' at the top rather than 'System Preferences '. It just freezes and finally gives the rotation color wheel, and I am obliged to Com/Opt/Esc out of it.

  Here are the recent logs:

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• System preferences icon has replaced the dock

  Hi all

  I have a strange behavior with the dock in macOS Sierra, especially with the "System Preferences" icon After you open the system preferences application, the icon was his suddenly replaced by another icon (see image below). It looks like a Doc App icon?

  

  I tried to remove the 'System Preferences' app to the dock and put new in. It's OK for a while, but something after a few hours or days, the icon has been replaced by the "Doc App" icon again? !!

  Is there anyone who has this strange behavior?

  Thank you

  The prices your Apple Watch the Mac on the same network Wi - Fi?  Sometimes the shows may use another network - its s trying to find a network, if the iPhone is not available.

  Is your set watch in place with an access code?

  Once you have changed your two-factor authentication, you disconnect from iCloud and vice versa, on the matched iPhone and Mac?

  See the specs here: automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

  Use Auto unlock with any Mac and Apple Watch that satisfies the requirements of continuity system:

  • Apple Watch (1st generation), Apple Watch series 1 or series 2 Apple Watch using iOS 10
  • Mid-2013, or more recent Mac using macOS Sierra

  Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

  • Your Mac has Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled.
  • Your identifier Apple is using two-factor authentication.
  • Your Mac and Apple Watch are connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
    On your Mac, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.

• The sound system preference and Callnote

  I installed Callnote to record Skype sessions, but I found that it was interfering with the audio system so I uninstalled using AppCleaner. However, I have always had a rest of Callnote in the input and output peripheral windows from the Sound System Preferences: How can I get rid of him?

  Also (in the spirit of BOGOF - buy one get one free), it's annoying that my startup to open Safari, it starts but does not show a window - I always click on the Safari icon in the Dock. This started to happen with Yosemite, I think; until a window appears automatically. I presume that it does not show because "Hide Safari" is an inalterable permanent choice in the Safari drop-down menu, but why is this so when no other application has this selected permanently?

  Don't know about the first part, but for Safari, try going to system preferences/general and uncheck the narrow windows when you exit an application.

• System preferences requires that my password for Google accounts - legitimate?

  Never seen that before. You want to know if I should answer with my passwords or not.

  If you use your Mac with an active firewall I guess that his Apple. There is always a chance, but he wants no doubt for is Mail (check if you are connected) or calendar/hangouts in messages app. Go to System Preferences, then Internet accounts and make sure your google account is connected. If it is, I guess you could probably ignore the message unless he shows a particular reason to connect (IE messages like etc.).

  Hope this helps!

• Not reflected in the network system preferences utility airport settings

  Airport Express model A1264

  Airport Utility 5.6.1

  Firmware 7.6.7

  MacBook OS 10.6.8

  Hello, I am trying to sort out why the Airport utility settings are not the same as the settings in system preferences > network > airport.  If I make a change in Airport utility, it does not change the settings in advance under network options in system preferences and vice versa.  Network names are the same and all other parameters, except the IP numbers are different. (Note: when asked to "Join other network" one and only network name I entered comes up.) All this occurred as a result of a new service by satellite being installed in our premises (I'm in Australia and we have a 'NBN Satellite' service).  IP address in system preferences > network seems to be the IP number, I received when the new system has been activated and the computer that is directly connected by ethernet cable to the modem.   The IP address of the Airport utility is the Airport Express IP number.  I guess that the first IP address is correct as I can connect the MacBook to the internet via Airport. To complicate things, it is that I have the additional problem of not being able to join the network using my MacBook Pro (OS utility 10.10.5, Airport 6.3.5). I get a message telling me to another computer is using IP number again xxxxxxxx test this last (or something similar).  I did originally a default zero value through the Airport utility menu using the MacBook (actually several times), but no change in system preferences > network settings. I think I should add the MacBook Pro Airport utility on the MacBook (which I have) to join the network created on the MacBook.   I use the MacBook for the e-mail and the spread of the internet, and the MacBook Pro should be able to join the network for software and other upgrades. The Airport Express has worked without problem for at least 4 years on our old satellite service. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

  I'm trying to sort out why the Airport utility settings are not the same as the settings in system preferences > network > airport.

  Setting affects only the Airport express airport utility. They do not change anything on the computer.

  Setting in the preferences of the computer only affect the computer... They do not change anything on the express.

  IP address in system preferences > network seems to be the IP number, I received when the new system has been activated and the computer that is directly connected by ethernet cable to the modem.

  Are you a public IP address on the computer? In the old system, you most likely have a private IP address.

  The computer really should NOT directly connect a modem... only a modem which has several ethernet ie is actually a router.

  That will tend to make it more difficult to set up the express. The express should plug a pure modem... and then the computer plug in the express. In this case, the express would be the main router. (I don't like this setup but because the Express is not powerful enough for this job). As far as your express is the old N a wireless with a single ethernet port.

  Honestly, do you a favor and buy another router from apple... the extreme... If you can't afford a new Gen6 then buy a Gen5 on ebay... around $60... immensely better.

  The express can then extend the wireless... or just simply do serve airplay etc. as part of the network.

  Tell us what model is the modem (+ router?) provided to you by your ISP?

  And if you get a public IP address or private on the computer directly connected to it. We can work out the rest from there.

  I'm in Melbourne... you can email me direct if you need to. Email is on my website.
