I had recently had a Mac on Lion unable to load the Users & Groups Preference Pane. Like this: My IT support had suggested reimaging the computer. Reinstalling the Operating System, reloading the applications, and transferring back the User information from Time Machine Backup. Well, after doing all of that, the problem reappeared immediately. I scoured through Apple Support Communities and found this fix. For some reason, some transparent users are showing up in your system. They need to be deleted.

Super simple tool for getting links and information out to people in a passive way. Got a concert? Why print off a program when you can have people grab a link from the qr code and look at it on their phones. Making stations for your classroom?
