How did my prefs get whacked in my new 10.11 computer?
#2
Migrated your user account? Sometimes the UID gets screwed up and need to reset home folder ownership and permissions. Just had to do that today for someone whose Adobe apps were throwing preference errors.

Run First Aid on the drive from the Disk Utility in case you have a serious problem with the directory structure.

Run SMART Utility. A 2011 iMac stands a fair chance of having an age-related drive failure.

Should repair permissions on the boot vol and ensure that you've got the latest OS updates from the App Store, too.
