[QUOTE="remain, post: 411536, member: 23182"] Hmm... I'm not an expert on permissions. But I remember when I accidentally set the permissions of EVERYTHING in my Applications folder to my user account, I re-set the permissions of the essential apps (like System Preferences, iTunes, etc.) by using Disk Utility. Open Disk Utility: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app Select your hard drive, and do Verify Disk Permissions then Repair Disk Permissions. [/QUOTE]
