I updated Snow Leopard to Lion on a MacBook Pro, and enabled the Guest account just for sharing. Then I saw the login icon on the preferences error could not load users & groups preference pane el capitan menu bar, which I didn't add, so went to the System Preferences to access Users & Groups but I get the same error.Any help appreciated.Cheers, marcello Helpful (0) Reply options Link to this post by larosa, larosa Jul 26, 2011 5:24 AM in response to larosa Level 1 (0 points) Jul 26, 2011 5:24 AM in response to larosa I can log in as guest (user = guest, no pass), and from there I can access the Users & Groups preferences for that account. In the worst case, from there I could create a new admin account and then remove my previous one. However I would like to avoid that...

It seems I can only access that panel from the Guest account...Anyone out there with the same problem? (or better with a solution to it...) Helpful (0) Reply options Link to

I've tried deleting the property list file: /library/preferences/com.apple.systempreference.plist I also tried clearing the PR and booting in Safe Mode. Anyone have any other ideas before I wipe and re-install? thanks mcgrailm preferences troubleshooting share|improve this question edited May 23 '12 at 22:02 wxs 770925 asked May 23 '12 at 20:17 mcgrailm 210211 I'm adding the text "Could not load Time Machine preference pane.", copied verbatim from the http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/52001/the-system-preference-panes-will-not-load sheet I see on System Preferences when this happens to me.

Maybe you'll find some error messages there which can narrow the problem down. You can view log files in Console, located in /Applications/Utilities. Have you tried to check (and maybe repair) the file rights. You can do this with disk utility.

Haven't tried to delete my prefs folder :). Maybe you can use Time Machine to restore the folder? –Pfitz May 23 '12 at 20:50 ha good point , doubt they had time machine running but thats a good thing to try thanks for your help –mcgrailm May 23 '12 at 20:52 just checked: directory for system PrefPanes is : /System/Library/PreferencePanes –Pfitz May 23 '12 at 20:54 | show 2 more comments up vote 1 down vote Boot in single user mode (Hold down SHIFT key right after
