Why open system preferences for the additional hours of bad screen

Why the preferences system not open to the main screen. When I click on it and open the system preferences, it goes directly to the security and privacy, every time. It still works perfectly well. I can always click on the upper left button to return to the main screen. It is really annoying that he began to do this.

I started doing after that I had to change some of the parameters for sharing so that I can get remote access to the work of this Macbook Air to my iMac at home when they are on separate networks.

Im not sure what triggered the system preferences to do this, but the only reason why I ever went to this screen was to check some settings of the firewall. I don't change not even nothing in there, nor I have stayed there when I closed the system preferences. Nevertheless, I know has this annoying problem.

  • Does not open the system preferences of the Apple menu

    Anyone know of a good solution for this?

    A few weeks ago I started noticing that I couldn't open my application system preferences in the Apple Menu bar (via the Apple logo > system, or via the WiFi icon Preferences > network, or even Preferences by right-clicking on the desktop to change the desktop background, etc.).

    WHAT WORKS:

    I can open the system preferences if I click directly on the application icon or you try to open it from the dock.

    I can open the app in the Apple menu if I register as another user.

    WHAT DOES NOT WORK:

    The problem does not go away when I restart in mode 'start '.

    The problem does not go away when I run disk utility.

    The problem does not go away when I remove the "Finder" and "System Preferences".plist file in the Preferences folder in the user's library.

    The problem does not go away when I remove the files "Preferences panel" bury of the Cache in the user's library folder.

    The problem does not go away when I zap the PRAM.

    The problem does not go far if I replace the system preferences application from a recent backup.

    I was about to just try and re-install the MacOS, but thought I would try the forums first, since the Apple Support site said that it should not be necessary if the problem is only limited to a user's profile. I found a lot of entries in the forums for this issue dated a few years ago and have tried most of the solutions, but I don't think that you can repair the permissions of the disc more on El Capitan.

    Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    Given all of the things you tried that don't work, over time it would take to troubleshoot more, you could restore OS X in 45 minutes to an hour on a broadband connection using OS X Recovery.

    Start your Mac while pressing the command + R keys. From there, you should be able to access the built in utility to verify and repair the disk from startup (if necessary) and OS X using OS X recoveryof restoration.

  • Set preferences for the text tool

    Is there a way to change the preferences for the TypeTool? For example, when used to create a frame, can I put it so that the vertical justification is Center instead of top? At the present time, I have to use the B command to bring up a Panel to make this change. CS4 on Mac.

    You don't talk about preferences for the text tool. It would be for the character or the formatting. You talk about preferences for a frame type.

    You must create an object Style (window > Styles > object Styles) which creates a frame in the way that you want and apply like a style of object.

  • How we can get statistics current preferences for the t value specified

    We use DBMS_STATS. Procedure SET_TABLE_PREF to set preferences to statistics on the table specified in the specified schema.
    How we can get statistics current value of preferences for the specified table?

    Of course, you can use the DBMS_STATS. Function GET_PREFS to check the attributes of statistics.
    For example, to collect statistics of large properly partitioned tables, you can change the INCREMENT value:

    For each, check that the current value of the table:

    SQL> select dbms_stats.get_prefs('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS') from dual;
    
    DBMS_STATS.GET_PREFS('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS')
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FALSE
    

    Change the value for the table in question:

    SQL> exec dbms_stats.set_table_prefs('SH','COSTS','INCREMENTAL' ,'TRUE') ;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    
    SQL> select dbms_stats.get_prefs('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS') from dual;
    DBMS_STATS.GET_PREFS('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS')

  • Re: Satellite 1130-z24 - looking for the part number or a screen

    Hello world

    Never done this before, are looking for the part number or a screen for the z24 1130 above

    help please.

    Hi michael,.

    In my opinion, you should contact an authorized service provider. Why? Guys can you tell the exact part number and order a new replacement screen for you. On the Toshiba site, you can search for them.

    Alternative look on eBay. Here you can often get second hand spare parts. The screen is an expensive item so maybe you have a little luck on eBay.

  • Preference for the present 24 hours on 24

    After years of use 24 hours on all of my Macs, I'm suddenly presented with the stipulation that I can't do it because of my time zone and language settings. When what happened?

  • Why my system preferences does not open?

    Hey guys! I posted my system specs before you start.

    Anywho, after a fresh clean install of OSX El Capitan (because my iMac crashed recently and I had to wipe my hard drive completely... Yes, there was a lot of tears), like, literally yesterday, I can't open my system preferences. As I click on the sign of the Apple at the top left, then go to System Preferences...

    This is what happens...

    The small system preferences icon bounces just bounces... bounce... and then... nothing... to frikkin' ever. I have to force it to quit. I try again and again, same thing. So, I go in Applications run in 32-bit mode, try again and guess what? Celestial tracks. No problem... UNTIL I try to choose an option, any option, and he ALWAYS tells me it need to restart System preferences to open whatever it is, then proceeds to give me spinwheel thing... and then crashes and I have to force quit... again.

    So, I suppose, in 64-bit and 32-bit, it does not work properly. And Yes, for the love of God, I already tried the delete your whole com.apple.systempreferences.plist, but also the other things that other forums will tell you to remove in system preferences.

    Note: another issue, I felt at the same time, it's that for the life of me I can't Time Machine to notice my external hard drive. I tried updating all the disks on my external hard drive, repair permissions, first aid, USB 3.0 update, power cycling, rebooting with alt + cmmnd + P + R, single-user mode, fcsk, safe mode, most first aid,... like, what the hell is happening? Laughing out loud

  • I sent 2 SMS to the iPhone even from the same location 1 hour out. Why I was charged for the second message, but not the first?

    I sent 2 SMS on the phone even in the same place 1 hour apart. I was charged for the second message, but not the first. Why charge me? I was under the impression that the messages sent between iPhones are free?

    I was under the impression that the messages sent between iPhones are free?

    It's a little more complicated than that.

    If the message is sent as an iMessage (blue) uses the data that could be part of your cellular data allowance or WiFi depending on what you are connected to. If it is sent as SMS (green) it takes however your carrier charges you for SMS.

    For a message to be sent in an iMessage, both parties need to have a device capable of iMessage (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Mac), iMessages allowed to have (settings > Messages > iMessage > on) and be connected to the data (Wifi or cellular).

  • When I send a 5v of data acquisition, the voltmeter indicates 5V, but when I connect a "normally open" valve Parker for the acquisition of data, the voltage decreases automatically a.14 V. It seems to be grounded. Why is this happening?

    We send 5v data acquisition using a voltage generator. Hook us it up to a voltmeter and see 5V. When connect us the generator voltage to a valve "normally open" parker, the voltmeter indicates .14V. It seems that when we connect the two sons of the valve for the voltage generator, the son act as pattern. We want to control the voltage flowing to tap through Labview. We checked the wires to the valve and they work very well, because if we send a constant 5V since the acquisition of data and put ashore, she, the voltmeter indicates 5V. Someone knows why the son act as pattern and low blood to .14V?

    nsatpute wrote:

    Our data acquisition is NI USB-6259. The valve requires only a 5V max and our DAQ provides up to 5V. However, after connecting the valve to the acquisition of data, the grave tension to almost 0. We start from the principle that the son somehow act as the reason, but we are not sure if this is the case.

    The question here is not how much voltage the valve wants, it's the current needs of the valve.  The 6259 can put only 5mA via an analog output.  Your very likely tap needs much more than that.  If you need to add in an amplifier circuit that can supply more current to operate your faucet.

  • Why open my bookmarks in the sidebar?

    Are there no more drop-down list of bookmarks? If I put my favourites in the side bar, when I click on a bookmark, it opens in the sidebar! Why it will not open in the main window? Same thing if I use the bookmarks toolbar. If I click on "Firefox Getting Started", it opens in the main window. But if I click on Google, I have placed on the toolbar, it opens in the sidebar! What gives?

    Opening in the sidebar is the default value for the bookmarks created via a link or a button on a Web site.

    You can view the properties of a bookmark using the context menu in the side bar (Ctrl + B; Cmd + B on Mac).

    In the Bookmark Manager (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) you can click on the button more in the lower details pane on the right.

    Make sure "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
