For my id, the short name is mac, so go to /User/mac You need to go down on each user id & change the ownership. You need to correct each user separately. There are multiple home folders in /Users. The same user name can have different numbers on different systems. These numbers do not have to be the same from system to system. While you see user name and group name, the system works with numbers. I advise changing the owners & permissions from the computer with the problem. You need to understand ownership & permissions to fix the problem. What should I do now? Is there a way to reset everything back to default? Other options? (Before I ran repair permissions, however, I could not open any documents/files, but now I can open say a TextEdit file.) I have already gone to Disk Utility and 'repaired permissions' (twice actually). Owner: system - there is an unlocked padlock next to thisĪccess: 'read & write' - this is grayed out You can 'read & write' - this is grayed out I know generally permissions are not to be messed with, I was overconfident. Very cavalier, I know, I rushed and didn't think it through. and changed it to I believe read & write for everyone, and I clicked 'apply to enclosed items.', but I can't remember for sure. What I can remember is, on the Mini, I selected the 'Users' folder, got info. I thought I would change the permissions - select folder, get info, change 'ownership & permissions' - to access most of the data between the two computers without having to move things about via a dropbox, public folder, etc.

What happened was I tried to connect via Firewire the Mac Mini to my MacBook Pro so I could move files over from the Mini to the Pro. I think this may be related to the issue. I can launch Mail, but new emails have not downloaded. I can launch TextEdit, Safari, Calculator, other basic programs. You don't have read or write permissions on the Address Book database file.' 'Couldn't open the Address Book database. 'The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.'

Quick and simple and you will never see those files again.I made a mistake with ownership & permissions on our Mac Mini and I don't know how to fix it.

How annoying when you cannot empty it because some files are thought to be in use by the Finder! The app offers a nice 'Force Empty Trash' menu when you click on its icon or when you go to the Bat Chmod Menu when you run it.

If you moved a folder or files from another machine or another user on your machine, the tool can help set you up as their rightful owner.Īh the beauty of a nice clean Trashcan on your Desktop. Sometimes, a whole hard disk can become inaccessible or locked and often, BatChmod can unlock those too! If you no longer have permissions to files or folders, change the permissions back. If something is locked, it can unlock it.
