Can anyone please tell if if this is normal/safe?

... or should I be worried someone has been snooping on my computer.... I don't think I've ever noticed an "unknown" level for user access before.

None of the permissions for the drive are correct. They should be:
Owner=system with r/w privileges
Group=admin with r/w privileges
Everyone with read-only privileges
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. Enter the following commands pressing RETURN after each:
sudo chown root:admin /
sudo chmod 1775 /
killall
This should set the permissions for your drive back to what they should be. Of course without any additional information it's impossible to know if the permissions elsewhere on your drive are correct. It would make sense for you to do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported , then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
After the computer boots up open Disk Utility then select your OS X volume and click on the First Aid tab in the DU main window. Click on the Repair Permissions button.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

    Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

    Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
    "Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
    Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
    With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
    I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

    I've got the same problem.
    It wasn't the case before the upgrade to v 9.2 (Iphoto 11) yesterday.
    The previous solution preferences - advanced - "select a store" (last option) doesn't solve it anymore.

    Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you

    Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number.  If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
    Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site.  You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Hi, can anyone please tell me if it is possible to download Google chrome (or similar) on the New Ipad... Thanks!

    Hi, can anyone please tell me if it is possible to download Google chrome (or similar) on the New Ipad...
    I keep getting an a message that reads "Safari cannot download this file" ... is there any other browser that can run on the New Ipad
    Thanks!

    You can't download programs via Safari. The only programs (i.e. apps) that you can install are those that are in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app directly on the iPad - PC and Mac programs are not compatible with the iPad, they are different operating systems.
    There are a number of browser that are available in the store e.g. Atomic Web and iCab Mobile are two of the most popular, and there is also a free Opera browser (though what is available in the store may depend upon what country that you in and therefore what is available in your country's store).

  • Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will download easily and run with mac 10.5.8 Snow Leopard?

    I posted a question which was: Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will work with Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Then this window popped up saying mark this discussion with as a question and this window.  I have no idea how this works. It already is a question and if I need to emphasize that, how does this window that looks like a Word editing window, help me do that?Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

    You asked the question in the title area instead of the area where the body of your posting is intended to be.  No fault of yours - they need to make the form clearer.
    Check the system requirements for the various versions of Photoshop Elements and see which suits your system.  Adobe only sells the most recent versions of their software, so if you need an older version you will need to find a vendor for it.

  • Can anyone please tell me how the attribute node in LABVIEW ( ver 5) in builtin INSTRUMENT I/O exampe file

    Can anyone please tell me how the attribute node in LABVIEW ( ver 5) in builtin INSTRUMENT I/O exampe file works and how it is being made.............

    Samura,
    After running LabVIEW 5.1 I found in the Search Examples help file a link titled Instrument I/O. Under there I see several examples, one of which contains many attribute nodes. It is difficult for me to tell you pecifically what the purpose of each and every attribute node in this forum.
    Generally, attribute nodes in LabVIEW 5.1 are used to set the properties of the front panel controls and indicators. The properties available in an attribute node are very similar to the properties made available by right clicking on a particular front panel control or indicator.
    If you have a question about a specific attribute node, I would like to ask you to post in a new thread with a detailed description of the attribute node.
    Thank you, and have a great day

  • Can anyone please tell me some basic infomation about Master data?

    Can anyone please tell me some basic infomation about Master data like
    1)The history of master data
    2) Why it is so critical
    3) What the advantages of it
    4) What is the future of master data
    Any inputs in this regard will be very helpful
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Gowri,
    Master data is backbone of any business software.It helps us to do transaction.
    If you go to any ATM and do some transaction,you get a monthly statement.This monthly statement contains your address details and your transaction details.
    So your address details and your account is like master data which is not changed so frequently but your transactions keep on happening on regular basis on your account and name.So your name and account are your master data which is set up once and donot change so frequently.
    Similary if you create a Purchase order in SAP system.You need Material master and vendor master.The material master contains material details and vendor master contains vendor details and using that you create PO which is a transactional data which keep on happening for a particular vendor & material combination on regular basis.
    So we set up master data once and make changes to these only when needed and record transaction against that.
    So in first case your banking details which you enter while opening account is your master data and in next case Material Master and vendor master is master data which set up mostly once.
    There are  three types of data in SAP system
    1. Organizational level data (ICICI Bank and Branch)
    2. Master data (Your User data while opening account)
    3. Transactional data (Your Regular transaction).
    I hope ,you are clear on this by now.
    There is a SAP software in Netweaver Stack now called MDM (Master data management) which will help to manage master data.
    regards,Nishant
    Please reward points if this helps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can recover any photos in photostream, by logging into your account on your computer. Any photos that are in the camera roll and not in photostream may be in your backup if yo kept one. When you replace your phone, restore it using this back up.
