My MacBook Pro 13" Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is freezing every time I open System Preferences (Desktop & Screensaver)
I wait it until it stops loading but it didn't happen. Continue loading 24 hours.
How do I fixed it?
What should I do?

Ciao.
Quit System Preferences if it is running.
Open up iPhoto anad click Events in the list on the left hand side. Double click on any of the events show.
Make sure that the event appears under Recent on the list on the left.
This should fix it.
First follow the instructions in this support article.
If an iPhoto or Aperture library is the source of your desktop pictures, it may need to be rebuilt, or you may need to update the application to the latest version.
Otherwise, continue as below.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences doesn't exists Linc Davis & I did all what you told to me but it still loading and loading and loading ...
Non stop loading.
No events on my iPhoto & Aperture Tlix.
I did it but nothing happens OGELTHORPE ...
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences doesn't exist
But the other file does. Did you move it?
