by mistake i deleted my system preferences and my photo booth also.i have no idea how to put it back!😟
You are absolutely sure System Preferences isn't in the Applications folder?
What about your Apple menu.. do you see it there?
Did you try Spotlight?
i click system preferences,itunes,photobooth but doesnt open its says it incomplete??😕
Where did you click System Preferences from?
If you're talking about the icons in the Dock. No Problem. Those are only aliases. The applications are still in your Applications folder on your hard drive. Simply drag the application icon to the dock and let go. That will create an alias on the Dock.
If you deleted the application in the Applications folder you'll have to reinstall your operating system from your install disk.
thank you for the help.. but i bought this laptop from a friend and aint come with the disk.😐
If you don't have your install disks you can get the 2 gray install disks by calling AppleCare. 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
Or if you don't have any files you want to recover from your hard drive you can get Snow Leopard for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You would then erase and reformat your hard drive and install Snow Leopard. You won't need the box set unless you want the latest iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store after you update to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote and Numbers for $20 each.
thankkkk you soo much u were every helpful.🙂
I'd chase your friend for the original discs; they're no use to anyone else and should always stay with the Mac they shipped with.
my system preferences got deleted
