When i press the iCloud pane under system preferences, all i get is "Preferences error. Could not load iCloud preference pane." The same happens when i try to open iCloud from within Internet Accounts pane.
All other pane´s open with no problems and i can log into iCloud with safari fine enough.

From Console i get these error messages when trying to open the iCloud pane:

25/06/15 21:59:59,392 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1](com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.pid.System Preferences.819) Path not allowed in target domain: type = pid, path = /System/Library/PreferencePanes/iCloudPref.prefPane/Contents/XPCServices/com.apple.preferences.icloud.remoteservice.xpc error = 122: Path had bad ownership/permissions, origin = /Applications/System Preferences.app

Anyone got a good idea whats wrong and what to do, please?

Don't you hate when people do that? Ask for help on this forum, fix it for themselves, but won't tell anyone precisely what they did!
Selfish jerks!

I would assume, since it was a problem with the iCloud System Preference pane and that they did "re-install" (post 2), that they must have re-installed Yosemite OS. A OS reinstall is the easiest way to reinstall a preference pane. Try reinstalling Yosemite to see if it helps.
