[QUOTE="Asma, post: 1366976, member: 237182"] [SIZE="4"][FONT="Century Gothic"][FONT="Arial"][SIZE="2"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"] Hi im a new member here and i hope to find a solution for my problem wish is the system preference not responce i was search on it but no solution work i tried this solution but doesn't work :'( [COLOR="Green"]This seems to be happening to a lot of users including myself when loading some new wallpaper. After downloading Wallpapers HD Lite from the App Store, the desktop and screensavor application within system preferences froze which I had to force quit. When trying to launch system preferences, the application defaulted to the desktop and screensavor application which was frozen. Holding down the shift key and launching system preferences worked, however, the desktop and screensavor application was still freezing up. Here's what I did to fix the issue: A) Completely uninstalled Wallpapers HD Lite using an application called App Cleaner. 1) Click finder then Go. Holding down the option key, click Library then click preferences. Look for a file called com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Drag this file into the trashcan and empty the trash. 2) Re-start the system. 3) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. Navigate to the Macintosh HD drive and click repair disk permissions at the bottom. 4) Run a complete diagnostic with an application called Onyx, then restart the computer again. 5) Open finder, then create a new folder called iPhoto. Drag the iPhoto Library into the newly created folder and close the finder window. 6) Hold down the option key, then launch the iPhoto application. Click the Choose Library button and navigate to the newly created folder. Click the Choose button. After running the above fix sequence, the desktop and screensavor application within system preferences became functional, however, an hour later, it froze up again. Note that Wallpapers HD Lite had placed a folder called Wallpapers HD Lite in the Library folder under Application Support which contained a jpeg file used as my current wallpaper. The wallpaper jpeg file downloaded from the wallpaper app was being used my current wallpaper, however, the application had been deleted using the application called App Cleaner as previously mentioned. I think this was why the desktop and screensaver application froze a second time.
