Is there a way to reset the parameters of all the system's native users and groups to their default settings?

After the upgrade to 10.8.3 my console is streaming perpetually with hundreds of lines of what appears to be permissions denials.
I've rebuilt permissions from my admin user, root, safeboot, an external virgin os install, and the recovery partition
run disk utility multiple times
safebooted multiple times
rebuilt the directory structure via the latest build of Diskwarrior
removed all peripherals
reset PRAM
reset SMC
ran the Extended Hardware Test
all drivers are up-to-date
Used OnyX to hunt for corrupted preference files
Used Onyx to clean every cache in the system
Cleaned up the fonts via Font Book
Rebuilt Launch Services
Rebuilt dyld's shared cache
Disabled Swap
Disabled Time Machine Local Backups
I'm running a 2011 MBP Quad i7 17" 2.3GHz 750gig internal 7200rpm with 16gig of ram 1600x1200 display
OSX 10.8.3 with dev kit

For what it's worth, this is the exact same set of ACL's that get "fixed" every single time i run the permissions repair:

  • Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents of a folder?

    Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents in a folder? I uploaded all the photos into my Creative Cloud but now I am out of the office and working on another computer so I need all those images so I can create a DVD Slide show for A&M. I need all the images, over 100 of them. Is there a way I can download this entire folder or at least all the images in the folder at one time? All I can find for download is to download each image separately one at a time. I can't even select them all and say download every image selected. I don't want to sit here for hours downloading one image at a time, that's just ridiculous.
    Help Please!

    Ken,
    Just wanted let you know the answer was not helpful but it was correct. Thank you for your time in answering me.

  • Is there a way ? changing font / color in all the title lips at once.

    i am making intro titles..  but now that i have made all the title clips... i really feel i need to change the font style....  also the color .. ( color i can go to the color board after making it to a compound clip..) but to change the font for all the title clips at on go  ,,,, what do i do ???  
    I really feel this will be a useful and much demanded feature... i dont know if there is a way which already exists... do let me know.. thank you..
    regards,
    arun kanth

    You can make multiple selections of titles and make changes to parameters (like color, font, etc.) and have them apply to all selected titles at once. Use the Text inspector especially if you have varied titles -- it's easier.
    Be careful you don't make changes you don't really want to make (changing font and size can bash the formatting of specific types of titles, like lower thirds or some of the bugs.)
    If you run into the situation where a value does not appear, for example: you select several titles of all different font sizes, the size slider will look disabled. The slider might be disabled, but you can click and drag up or down on where the number should be to adjust "relative" sizes (you'll see something like +6 or -4, etc.)

  • Is there any way to reset my ipod, delete all content manually w/o itunes?

    My ipod is just jacked. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to send it off to be repaired. I would like to delete all my photos, music, etc before I send it off.. is there any way to modify your ipod without conecting to the pc? It will not connect to itunes and it is not recognised by any pc I try it on.
    THX!!

    This is from a previous post I did earlier. This also cleans the iPod out without wiping the firmware. Your iPod may not be toast after all.
    I was having the same problem as a lot of you where iTunes did not recognize my iPod. Now it does. Here's what I did.
    Disclaimer: I am no computer expert, just read ALOT of posts and figured my problem out.
    First problem I was having was that my cpu wasn't seeing the iPod as a mass storage device or iPod, just "removable disc". This was due to having my usb printer on. It was hogging resources I guess.
    Still didn't work in iTunes and locked it up. Reset using the iPod (whre the Apple logo comes up and have to select language initial screen)
    My problem included the following:
    When I looked at the "about" list on the iPod it said "Songs: 0, Capacity: 0, Format Unknown". Nothing there so the computer wouldn't read it I guess. When I right clicked in My computer/J:removable disk and got to the list with "properties" (took a while but it finally came up) it said the format was RAW, and there were 0 bytes on the iPod.
    This is the fix. On the same menu(removable disk - right click) there is selection called "Format..". Hit that and it should bring up a window to format the drive. Make sure it's set on "default Setting - or something like that", FAT32 and that the "Quick Format" is unchecked. Hit format and wait for it to finish.
    After I did this the computer shows the iPod and iTunes recognizes it and off I went on re-syncing all of the music in my playlist.
    Oh, and it did NOT delete the firmware in case you were worried like I was about that.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there a way to undo "autofill" so that all the songs, artists, albums, etc on my iPod touch 4th gen coincide/are synchronized again?

    I don't know if you can help me, but I erroneously clicked on "auto fill" under the "on this ipod" category of the itunes screen that's located on my desktop.  As a result, all the songs, albums, artists, etc., are now out of sync, don't coincide with one another, and when I touch a song to play on my ipod touch (fourth generation) it flips to a different artist/song and plays it automatically.  Is there any way I can undo this, and if so, how?   This occurred while I was purchasing/downloading music onto my iPod, and the usb cord was plugged into the modem at the time.  Any suggestions/advice offered to solve this problem would be much appreciated. 

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music

  • Is there any way to send an album without all the photos attaching and the file being huge? and the file being huge?

    Is there any way to send just a link to an album? (vs attaching everything and having a huge file?) Thanks!

    No.
    File -> Export and send them to a Folder on the desktop. Then do what you will with them from there.
    There is nothing to be gained by installing Picasa if you're using iPhoto.

    I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

    I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

    i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    No, Apple can't help.  Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode.  For that mode see:
