[QUOTE="DSWoodard, post: 1337277, member: 227228"] I can't access System Preferences anymore -- wanted to change my screensaver, and when I click on System Preferences I get an error message that says "You can't open the application System Preferences because it is not supported on this type of Mac" huh? That doesn't make sense? How do I change my screensaver? This is a 21.5 inch iMac, and I know I changed the screensaver about a year ago. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and keep updating. I installed iCloud so I could more easily sync between iPad2 and the iMac, but now I'm wondering if that is what caused this mess? Just had the iMac at the Genius Bar as Tech Tool Deluxe gave me nasty reports on the drive...and they cleared it and fixed some directory issues, but maybe not all of them? [/QUOTE]
