I have NO idea of what has caused this to happen at all, but :
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache
Those files are nowhere to be found on my computer anymore. I learned this because after trying to open my System Preferences from the main menu several times, it just wouldn't work. So I did my research as to why this might happen, and found people saying to locate these files, re-locate them to the desktop and then restart the system.
Well, those files don't even exist anymore. I've repaired my permissions, cleaned my cache and every other available thing to clean or repair in Onyx. No love. I did receive a console warning pop up at some point though, and here's what it gave me: (I have moved this text to my next post because this post is too long)
Is anything in there suspicious ? I noticed that there are things listed that I don't even have installed, but am assuming that it's just a standard query fetched from Apple's database?
The only thing I've done recently is to have install the trial version of Candybar 3 and was messing with it a bit. Noticed that it wasn't really working to my expectations though, and had to do a lot of logging off, rebooting etc.. Not sure if that's the culprit, but it is the only thing that has been different from my usual tasks and such.
I do not have Time Machine running, so have no backup and that is out of the question. Is there a way to fetch these files from my Snow Leopard install disk ?
There's only one thing I can add which might be something.. I was opening System Preferences and meaning to quit Candybar 3, but I think I managed to quit preferences instead, which I'd not think anything of... but the timing was a bit odd, and wonder if that had anything to do with this.
Any other suggestions are greatly welcomed.
