Hi ppls! Just a question...I was using my iMac when there was a power cut, thus the comp shut downed with all my open apps. Now in Windows, when I turn on my comp again in situation like these, it would say 'windows was not shut down properly, etc' and do a scan on my drives for errors and what not. But on a Mac, it just boots up like normal. Should I be worried about errors and stuff when my Mac wasn't shut down properly?
Blackout!!

Maybe you should repair permissions in disk utility. Just to be safe
Thanks!! I tried the advise given, and this msg came out:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
Determining correct file permissions.
Group differs on ./private/etc/authorization, should be 80, group is 0
Owner and group corrected on ./private/etc/authorization
Permissions corrected on ./private/etc/authorization
Does it mean anything to anybody out there?

For a while I would just be more attentive to your iMacs performance and don't worry about the permissions they are fine.
Overall your iMac seems to be unaffected and I'm sure you would know it if there was something wrong in your circumstances.
Good idea to get a surge protector for your expensive electrical equipment like your iMac ..... :headphone
