Load customize and try to unhide it.

that's not the solution. I have the same problem with mine. I read about the bugs in this app in hackint0sh and they took the app down. Can someone upload the original Preferences.app for 1.1.1 please? I'll see if that helps

k, so what you have to do is download this (http://rapidshare.com/files/84694884...s.app.zip.html) and put into your applicaions folder by ssh so now u should be able to uninstall the extended preferences or whatever you got. after u uninstall every mod you got for your preferences.app, u are back in normal preferences.app i believe.

good luck guys

Had the same problem. Here's what I did:

Download "Finder" application in Installer - Not sure of the source

Open Finder and find the little nino sign "~" a the top right and press it

Select "Library"

Select "Preferences"

Scroll down and find the three files that start with this:
"com.apple.preferences."

Select them one at a time and press "Modify" at the bottom

You'll see "Owner" "Group" and "Everyone" lines with "Read" "Write" and "Exec" next to them. Activate all of those options so the Read Write and Exec options are blue/whatever-color-you-set-to-be-your-selection-indicator

Now go back to your "Installer" and search for "Preferences"

You may see a couple of "Extended Preferences" options... IGNORE THESE. That's what gave you this problem in the first place.

Select the "Preferences" application and install it.

That's it!

I know absolutely nothing about computers but my ipod was already screwed up so I did this to take a chance and tinker with it and it worked.

I hope it helps you too!
