[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1807983, member: 175845"] There's already so much to learn with a new Mac and from what you were used to, but from your description as your new Mac is, I would say it's a Mess and you need to get it fixed in order for it to operate properly, which I imagine is what you have been trying to do. But I dare say, I would seriously suggest you hire an a decent Mac tech who should be able to come to your house and work there. It will be well worth your while. It seems your basic problem is you have got your reset passwords and especially your permissions all messed up and need to start all over. Probably a lot of of the solutions will be to move your personal data to another volume as a first step and then [B]set that volume to ignore permissions[/B] and then they can be moved back to a completely new admin user account and it's proper permissions. It sounds complicated, but it's not. Especially for a good Mac Tech. It would be well worth the money spent I'm sure. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
