Does InqScribe work with Mac OSX Lion (10.7)? Does InqScribe work with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8)? How can I send a bug report from InqScribe? How do I access the /Library folder in Mac OSX Lion (10.7) or later? How do I find my preferences file? I'm getting an error: 'QTCF.dll is missing'. How can I fix that? InqScribe is crashing.

Sometimes you have a problem with System Preferences or something related to it, like it remembering your screensaver or desktop selection, or perhaps it won't launch or launches funky.


This procedure is for deleting the 'preferences' file(s) that is located in your (hidden) User/Library folder that can resolve issues like this.

When the computer is rebooted and the associated program launched again, it recreates this file, but blank of preferences, thus since it's rebuilt it's free of problems.


This procedure also works for other programs like iPhoto or iTunes, or whatever that stores a preference file (.plist) in the (hidden) User/Library folder, the procedure is the same, just sub out the program your having problems with .plist file instead of the System Preference .plist file below.



Known preference files issues:

Mac Hd Library Preferences Audio


com.apple.systempreferences.plist (corrupted/not launching System Preferences)


com.apple.desktop.plist (corrupted/not working desktop picture changes)


com.apple.safari.plist (safari issues)



See the Steps #12 and #13 for OnyX and it's preference file checker to find other corrupted preference (.plist) files that might be causing your issues.






So we are going to delete a preference file in a hidden folder, this will only affect the preference file, not your personal files or programs.



1: Go to the Finder and select Go menu and Go To Folder



2: Now paste or type


~/Library/Preferences





3: Press GO! and a folder will appear


4: Scroll down and find


com.apple.systempreferences.plist com.apple.desktop.plist (or whatever program your having problems with)


5: There may be two of the same named file, drag the one you can to the Trash can




6: Restart the computer and open System Preferences (or problem program) and reset all your preferences again

Photos in your System Photo Library are available in apps like iMovie, Pages, and Keynote. You can also sync them to iOS devices and view them on Apple TV. And if you want to use your own images as your desktop picture or screen saver, the images need to be in your System Photo Library before you can select them in System Preferences.

If you have only one photo library, then it's the System Photo Library. Otherwise, the first photo library that you create or open in Photos will become the System Photo Library. If you have more than one library, you might need to designate a System Photo Library, so other apps can access the photos and videos you want them to use.

Follow these steps to designate a System Photo Library:

  1. Quit Photos.
  2. Hold down the Option key and open Photos. One of the photo libraries is already designated as YourLibraryName (System Photo Library).
  3. Choose the library you want to designate as the System Photo Library.
  4. After Photos opens the library, choose Photos > Preferences from the menu bar.
  5. Click the General tab.
  6. Click the Use as System Photo Library button.

If you open a second or different library in the Photos app, and you haven't designated it as the System Photo Library, other applications will use photos from the original System Photo Library. Hold down the Option key when you open Photos to see which library is set as the System Photo Library.

iCloud and the System Photo Library

Macintosh Hd/library/preferences/systemconfiguration/networkinterfaces.plist

You can use iCloud Photos, Shared Albums, and My Photo Stream only with the System Photo Library. If you choose a different library in Photos without designating it as the System Photo Library, the iCloud tab in Photos preferences is disabled:

If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photos, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photos. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photos for more than one library in Photos.
