Time Machine options not available since I upgraded to Mavericks

Hi,


I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. So far so good, but since this, from "System preferences / Time Machine" :


- Clicking the "Options..." button does nothing (means the options control panel to choose ignored folders does not appear)

- Clicking the "Choose a disk..." button has the same effect (means nothing appears too)


The "System preferences / Security" control panel has a similar issue in its "General" tab : after unlocking, choosing to enable the installation of applications from "Anywhere" is denied. The radio button goes back automatically in its initial position. Means either "Mac App Store" or "Mac App Store and identified developers".


Monitoring the system.log file from the Console application shows the same starting lines when clicking on any of the three above mentioned actions. I could provide the full error message but it's veeeery long. The essential lines are :


05/11/2013 14:07:23,513 System Preferences[10288]: -[NSRemoteView beginDeferredSheets] caught non-fatal NSInternalInconsistencyException 'unable to convert NSNamedColorSpace System controlColor to Appareil RVB colorspace' with backtrace (

Note that no error message has been issued during the Mountain Lion -> Mavericks upgrade. Go.ogle search or the support information of this site didn't provide useful information (or did I miss something ?)


Many thanks by advance for any hint.

In short : Open a terminal and type the 4 following commands :


defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUseLeopardWindowValues YES


defaults write com.apple.Safari NSUseLeopardWindowValues YES


defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false


killall SystemUIServer


That's all!

Hey i'm having a similar issue since upgrading to Mavericks, noticed originally time was wrong and went to change in systems pref and when i try to click lock to make changes i get:


User uploaded file

And same for all panels. It will not accept my username and password. I have checked they are all correct - can log in and out of account, and it's the only account on machine, and is admin. All worked fine before upgrade. I have tried running the suggested 'luke_aus' fix in terminal. No change. Have updated software, restarted, seen other fixes around but they seem to be for slightly different problems so not sure what to do.


Any further thoughts?


Thanks, Beth
