Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

  • How do I fix this? Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.

    Photo Booth encountered an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time.
    How do i fix this?

    I had the same issue, as suggested by others on similar question I checked my permissions and they were fine.
    This worked for me
    1) First saved the photos from my current Photo Booth library
    2) Deleted the photo booth library folder
    3) Created a new admin user
    4) Copy the photo booth library from the new user and paste it in your user (where the previous photo booth library was)
    5) You can then delete the new user you created.
    *this is my first  attempt  here, so my bad if its not up to scratch*

  • "this alias cannot be saved at this time"

    I've been trying to add an alias to my icloud account since september.
    I have 2 of 3 available.
    it should work.
    But every time I try it said "this alias cannot be saved at this time"
    The only answers I've found in these forums is "icloud is still being rolled out, just wait"
    That's not an acceptable answer, especially since I got the official email that my icloud was active, months ago.
    There must be another answer!
    Anyone?

    That's so, but you won't be able to create a new alias until your account is updated. There's no way of knowing how long this will take: you should get an email telling you when this is done (though I didn't) but you could check by sending yourself a message to [email protected] from time to time. When it stops bouncing you may be good to go with the aliases.

  • Your Information cannot be saved at this time

    Trying to setup a new account for my daughter and I keep getting this stupid error message: Your Information cannot be saved at this time
    I am using my birth date since I will control the account, but it will not let me proceed.
    Please help.

    I get the message that the info cannot be saved.
    What's the precise text of that message please, elizabeth? (It's reminding me of one that can be related to a damaged SC Info file, but I'm not quite sure of that on the basis of the current description.)

  • Subscribe to Photoshop CC for photographers but keeps saying my trial has expired. Both Photoshop and lightroom. Smetimes this happens 3 times in one day or perhaps every  third day. When I open either package I get a message saying that I have 00 days le

    Both Photoshop and Lightroom exhibit the same error. Sometimes this happens 3 times in one day or perhaps every  third day. When I open either package I get a message saying that I have 00 days left in the trial and to continue I need to purchase a licence or start a trail. If I click on purchase a Licence the once I log in with Adobe ID I can get started. I have contacted Adobe chat support 6 times. They suggest deleting an opm.db  file and assure me that this will sort the problem and within 24 hours back to square one

    Here it happens only with photoshop cc 2014. i just deleped opm.db i will check again tomorrow.

  • Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
    But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
    Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

  • When I open another tab I get the wheel of death for 1-2 minutes and I often have to force quit FF. Mac OS X 10.6.8/ FF 7.0.1

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 using FF 7.0.1. When I open another tab I get the wheel of death for 1-2 minutes and I often have to force quit FF. I saw this question asked but no real answer given as to why this has been happening in the last three weeks after I've used FF for years and not had this problem before. Please give some help or I'll have to use Safari full time.

    Delete and reinstall it.

    When I open Safari, I keep getting the Jobs video from Tim. Once was OK.ow do I turn it off?

    First, go to the website that you wish to make your Home page.  Then click on Safari>Click on Preferences on the dropdown menu>Click on the "General" tab on top of the window which should be on your screen>click on the "Set to Current Page" button which is under the Home Page line.  This should solve the problem.

  • HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

    How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

  • Have FF 15.0. When I open FF I always get following message: Norton Cofidential does not support FF 1.5, as if I have 1.5. What's up?

    I have FF 15.0. When I open FF I always get following message: Norton Confidential does not support FF 1.5, as if I have 1.5. How do I fix this. Do I not have a secure site?

    It is most likely because Firefox 15 is in beta, so norton hasn't added full support for it yet. I'd except them to update their software in the next 3 weeks (Firefox 15 gets released in about a week and a half).

  • When I open iTunes I keep getting the same speech from the general meeting. How do I  delete

    When I open iTunes I keep getting the speech of the last general session of new Apple products. The talking is always in the background of any new music I try to play. How do I stopped the speech from always playing in iTunes?

    Try to going to the section where the sound is coming from and see if the video or speech is still active for some reason. See if there is a way to quit it.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
