How long should the default version of Apple/SysPref/icloud take to load?
In effectively dealing with an scam of an iCloud popup which would not
close and kept returning I followed this procedure:
Trashed these items:
-the caches folder at: ~/Library/folder
-the iCloud folder in the ~ /Library/ApplicationsSupport/folder
and
- the MobileMeAccounts.plist in the ~/Library/Preferences/folder
then I Restarted the computer (which I understand
puts back, with default settings, the items trashed.)
However now, when I click the Apple/SysPref/icloud
the panel reads "iCloud loading..." but even after 14 seconds
(much longer than any of the other 'undisturbed from procedures'
icons to open) there is no entry and if the cursor is moved the
icon the spinning wheel is happening and I have to force-quit
Preferences to get out and stop the beach balling.
The SysPref panel reads 'iCloud loading..." -- how long do you think
it should take? Is it reloading the default version of the system
preferences options panel for iCloud (or did that happen automatically
when I restarted the computer after the procedure describe above?) From
what I have described, what do you think is happening to this computer?
