Preferences system - el Captain "Default apps?

System Preferences MBPro running that el Capitan contains 'Default Apps' - DH iMac icon (about 7 years) also runs El Captain shows system preferences but no icon called "Default Apps".

Question: Why I have it on my system preferences and it does not. Two of us using the same operating system with all the updates.

What 'Default Apps' do, why is it here (on my own), how she received there?  Why is it not on DH iMac?

Is this necessary?  What is he function?  It should be on his also, if so, how do I get it there.

Thank you very much

I don't think that it is a standard part of Mac OS x is it located in the bottom row of the items displayed in "System Preferences"? If so, this is an 'extension', you need to have installed in the past.

    Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Third party extension and plug-ins?

    If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues

    The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.

    The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

    If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.

    Disable the Safari Extensions

    You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.

    1. In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
    2. Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
    3. Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.

    If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.

    Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.

    You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:

    • The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type /Library and then click OK.
    • The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.

    The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.

    • Internet Plug-Ins
      Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
    • Input methods
    • InputManagers
    • ScriptingAdditions

    If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:

    1. Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
    2. Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
      • If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
      • If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.
  • Preferences system earned (t close after the cancellation of an account

    My computer is under El Capitan I canceled an account, as I had no use for him. Now, the preferences system won (t close after the cancellation of this account

    Hello JEHAN1,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know that to be a problem with the system of preferences on your Mac don't close does not correctly, it's not what you expect!

    If I understand correctly, you deleted a user on your Mac is no longer used. Then, when you quit System preferences, system preferences no longer and do not close. The good news is that you have two options:

    1. first of all, you can try to use the Force Quit option in menu Apple logo to force system preferences to exit, and then restart your Mac.

    Force a nearby application on your Mac.

    2. If you are still not able to get the system preferences to close, then shut down your Mac by choosing stop from the Apple menu, or press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until your Mac asked if not sure you want to shut down your computer now.

    How to turn on or off your Mac

    3. If you can't stop your Mac because it does not respond, you can force it to switch off without stopping. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until your Mac goes off. Use this method only when you cannot stop.

    You can also try the safe boot mode to help solve, as Safe Mode performs some system checks, removes the systems cache files, verifies your startup disk and tries to fix the problems of directory, if necessary.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    See you soon!

  • How can I make my default app iPhone music to a playlist?

    I created a Playlist named 'Favorites' and because I want the music app to always open in this playlist, I selected Playlists and selected reading list 'Favorites '. But when I leave the music app and re-launch-le, he never remembers that... still, it insists on opening with 'My Music' at the top of the screen, listing ALL MY MUSIC, classified by artists, so I have to select my favorite playlist every time I run the music application again.

    The impression that it is not too much to ask to have the music app to remember where it was, so finally you left.   But I don't see any option on my iPhone Settings\Music do remember, making it default to my desired favorite playlist.

    The apparent only to achieve, solution is to never force, exit music... I have to keep 'on' constantly, in the background.  I do not do that; I have the smoking habit strength applications when I don't use my iPhone (by going to the main screen, double click the main button and dragging each app, of the road, requiring each app to exit).  I do this because I do not have dozens of applications at the same time suspended in the background.

    So, is it possible to the default value of the application a specific playlist music?

    Hello autochthon,.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to make the app open to the tab list music default playback. The only available sort options come from the drop-down list at the top of the screen. In the 'My music' tab, you can choose to view music by artist, albums, songs, music videos, genres, composers and complications. In the "Playlist" tab, the drop down options allow you to select a playlist by default to display, or to display all the playlists.

    That said, I thought that it is prudent to note that double-clicking the home button and drag on an app is just the normal method of closing a Consider approx. slide out to be the equivalent of iOS of by clicking on the red x, or by pressing Cmd + Q. Force iOS apps quitting smoking is a process more long which includes holding down the lock/sleep button until "slide to power off" screen , then now the home button until the home screen appears (this force resignations unresponsive applications).

    All that being said, your best option is probably very one you are not eager to use. Just let the music app open in the playlist tab. leaving an application running in the background is a non-issue for modern smartphones. Apps are now hanging in the background, unless they are approved to update in the background (for example, push, push email notifications). So worry not drain your battery or consume system RAM. Just leave the open music app so that you can enjoy the convenience you're looking for.

    Good luck

  • Preference system, security and confidentiality, accessibility - not working/empty

    Hello

    All of a sudden my system preference, safety and confidentiality, accessibility access list does not work, it is completely empty/Virgin and I can't use + / either. They do nothing. The + tries to add an app and I can select an app via the dialog box, but the window just shows blank after choosing an app. He never adds anything.

    I reboot several times and turned to cycling as nothing will do. I also zapped the PRAM, still nothing. I also used the Onyx to repair permissions and also checked the disk, everything going perfectly.

    The list never used to be empty, there are several apps listed in there, but they are all gone now. It is completely empty.

    I have problems because the apps that were once, now on the list will not work until I have added to the list, but I can't. I would like to buy yet another application that could control this list, but I don't know of any application that does.

    I hope someone has a solution or an idea of what to do because you have lived the same exact situation.
