[QUOTE="witeshark, post: 27636, member: 3865"] [color=darkred]Cut and paste: command C to copy command V to paste. If you are new to Mac and don't use Mac Janitor: repair permissions. After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions. Click repair permissions. Also make sure you run cron tasks Finder, Applications. Utilities Terminal type (switching to root - superuser) sudo sh /etc/daily > this needs to be done /weekly (instead of daily) and monthly. again with all apps closed. Setting permissions for disks, folders, and files To control access to your important information, Mac OS X automatically sets permissions for disks, folders, and files. You can change these permissions for an item using the Info window in the Finder. Mac OS X provides distinct permissions for three types of users: The "owner" of the item, which is usually the name of the person who created the item, or yourself Any member of the group assigned to the item by Mac OS X Any other user with access to the computer There are four levels of permission: Read & Write allows a user to open the item to see its contents and change it. Read Only allows a user to open the item to see its contents, but not change the contents or copy them. Write Only makes a folder into a drop box. Users can copy items to the drop box, but cannot open the item to see its contents. Only the owner of the drop box can open the drop box to take items out of it. No Access blocks all access to the item so that users can't open the item, change its contents, or copy its contents. Select the item you want to set permissions for, then choose File > Get Info and click Ownership & Permissions, if necessary. Choose a permission for yourself from the pop-up menu. If the menu is dimmed, you don't have permissions to change this setting. To change permissions for the owner, group, or others, click Detail. If necessary, click the lock icon and, when prompted, enter the name and password of an administrator user of your computer. Choose permissions for each type of user from the Access pop-up menus. The pop-up menu at the top of the Ownership & Permissions pane tells you the access privileges you have for the selected item. If you are the owner, you can use this menu to change your access privileges. If you want to apply the same permissions to every item contained in the selected folder or disk, click "Apply to enclosed items".
