[QUOTE="droflex, post: 969048, member: 133682"] One last thing for weird and unexplainable stuff: Some common problems, such as applications not loading or exhibiting strange behaviour, can be fixed by repairing permissions. Because Mac OS X is based on Unix, it utilizes ownership and permissions. Sometimes, key system files have their permissions changed to something other than what they are supposed to be by applications and, more often, installers. Repairing permissions fixes any accidental changes that may have occurred to the ownership and permission of key system files. To repair permissions: * Open Disk Utility, located at /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility * Select your startup disk on the left of the Disk Utility window * Select First Aid from the tabs * Click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button I just cut and pasted that stuff in there so dont credit me with it.
