2.2 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz), 2.5 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.7 GHz), or 2.8 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 4.0 GHz) quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 6 MB shared L3 cache and an optional AMD Radeon R9 M370X dGPU.

Somethings have suddenly gone missing in widgets & settings...

I clean installed my Macbook about 8 months ago with OS Monterey 12.7.6 (The last supported OS) and everything has been running fine since then....about 3 days ago I noticed some things have gone missing from my settings, I have not removed or uninstalled any of them:

The widgets are stored within /System/Library/CoreServicesBut Notes & Reminders are not there anymore (Maybe some others also have gone).

Unable to set weather location

Bluetooth Sharing has gone, but Bluetooth is on as I use a Magic Mouse II without any issues.

I also CANNOT change 'Open with default app' for example .mp3 or .mp4 opens with either Books, Music, Audacity, QT Player (All are different), even when I change to VLC as it always was with before via various methods NONE are changed so they all open with my preferred app. No matter what I try nothing seems to change anything, GET INFO (Set Default), Right Click (Open with other...) or even with App Cleaner app to set default app by extension etc....

This is really bugging me as I do not want to perform a complete clean install as I have a dual boot system and many files. We can rule out using Time Machine as that maybe will not solve it as from experience TM might still bring over the corrupted settings.... Is there a preferences file that I can delete or restore if so which one? Otherwise, system is running fine, these are my only issues noticed so far since a week or so. I have no dodgy software installed, nothing recently installed, no updates have been done (None to do anyway as all is up to date)..... I have booted into safe mode, rebooted as normal, but it has made no difference. Mystified on this as it is something I am usually good at fixing.

I found this link about widgets but no joy .

I have a late 2015 iMac and early 2015 MacBook Air. Both are running macOS 12.76 Monterey. I just noticed last night that the weather widget from modding from the iMac’s Notification Center. So I went looking for the app and it was nowhere to be found. This Mac recently had a new SSD installed and a fresh install of macOS. So I looked on the MacBook. That has the widget but it opens in Safari. That’s also missing the app. I know both of these Macs had the app. I remember setting the location on the iMac. It seems one of the OS updates removed the app from both Macs.

On the Mr Macintosh site it says “NOTE: macOS Monterey is no longer supported by Apple. The final version is 12.7.6 released on 7/29/24.

NOTE 2: Even though 12.7.6 was the last version released. Apple has pulled the full installer of this version and has only made 12.7.4 as the newest version available.”

It shows macOS 12.7.6 21H1320 as the most recent build from 2/09/26. That’s the build on both of my Macs. The previous build was 21H1371.

It sounds like something unexpected happened with the system settings or file structure on your MacBook, causing the Notes and Reminders (and potentially other apps or features) to go missing. Since you didn't manually remove or uninstall these, it could be related to an update, system glitch, or corruption. Here are some things you can do to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:

1. Check the System Preferences (Settings)

  • Sometimes, apps or features might just be hidden or disabled rather than completely removed.
  • Go to System Preferences > Extensions or Notifications & Focus to see if Notes and Reminders are still listed but turned off or hidden.

2. Use Spotlight to Search for Notes and Reminders

  • Press Cmd + Space to bring up Spotlight and type "Notes" or "Reminders" to see if the apps are still installed but just not showing up where you expect.
  • If found, try opening them directly from Spotlight.

3. Check the System Folder

  • You mentioned that the widgets are stored in /System/Library/CoreServices, but for Notes and Reminders, you can manually check their respective locations:
    • Notes app: It’s usually found under /Applications/Notes.app.
    • Reminders app: Similarly, check /Applications/Reminders.app.
    • If they are missing, you might have a deeper issue or possible corruption with the system files.

4. Check for Missing or Corrupted Files

  • Reboot in Safe Mode: Restart your Mac and hold down the Shift key during boot to enter Safe Mode. Safe Mode can help repair file system issues and clear certain caches that might be causing problems.
    • Once in Safe Mode, check if Notes and Reminders appear. Restart normally to exit Safe Mode.
  • Disk Utility: Open Disk Utility and run First Aid on your startup disk to check and repair any potential file system errors.

5. Try Reinstalling or Restoring the Apps

  • Since Notes and Reminders are system apps, you can't easily reinstall them like third-party apps. However, you can try to restore macOS using the built-in recovery options without erasing your data:
    • Restart your Mac and hold down Cmd + R to enter macOS Recovery.
    • Select Reinstall macOS from the options. This will reinstall macOS over your current installation, potentially restoring any missing system apps without deleting your data.

6. Check for Updates

  • Even though you’re on the last supported version of macOS for your system, it’s worth checking if there are any minor updates or patches for macOS Monterey 12.7.6 that could fix issues like this. Go to System Preferences > Software Update to make sure everything is up to date.

7. Create a New User Account

  • To see if the issue is specific to your user account, you can create a new user account:
    • Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > + to create a new account.
    • Log into the new account and check if Notes and Reminders are available. If they are, there may be an issue with your original user profile.

8. Check Console Logs

  • Open the Console app (Applications > Utilities > Console) to check the logs for any error messages or unusual activity related to Notes or Reminders that could point to the root cause of the problem.

9. Back Up and Reinstall macOS

  • If all else fails and nothing seems to resolve the issue, you might want to back up your data and perform a clean reinstallation of macOS Monterey. This would essentially give you a fresh start with the last supported version and should restore missing apps like Notes and Reminders.
