Permissions issues after diskswap/fresh OS

good morning,
yesterday, i removed my existing OS disk and replaced it with a new disk, and performed 10.7.5 install via the internet.
i attempted to use time machine to recover my files from my old system to my new, but all the files have a @ permission on it, and i have to authenticate each time i want to move a file or edit/delete anything a file.
the previous system was active directory integrated, and this new install is just stand-alone standard install. so all UID/GID represents an activedirectory user of the same username i am using now. i tried to chown -R everything once i copied it back, but the @ special permission remains. i also tried to xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine (something liek that) but the @ remains.
i also plugged the original system disk back in to see if that made a difference, and copying the files form that instead of time machine still yeilds the same results.
so my question i guess is... what is the proper way to import files from another system (assuming many directories will have the red-minus/no access on them).

Just installed the 10.4.2 update and upon restart showed apple logo then kernel panic, forced shut down, started up, got to the desktop and kernal panic, and other force shut down, started back up and everything is working fine again, but no airport signal. So I found the latest panic log:

So, from my limited console knowledge, I'd say the computer has issues with the airport card and has shut it down on it's own in order for me to use the computer. Is this correct? If so, how can I go about helping them talk through their differences?
Thanks
also, the hard drive checks out fine, no repairs necessary and s.m.a.r.t. is fine

Permissions Issues after java update...

So, I noticed after I got the java update awhile back that the permissions associated with it are wrong.
disk utility tries to repair it, claims it does, but still needs to be repaired afterwards. anybody else have this issue, so would it be normal?
I can post the output from disk utility if you guys need it.

It's normal. Not all permissions issues are ever resolved with any update. Unfortunately ever since 10.1.5 had permissions repair features, it never has 100% eradicated permissions issues. Though repairing permissions before and after each update helps, you'll never see a message that all permissions are repaired. As long as there aren't any other issues, I wouldn't worry about it.

Managed Account permissions issues after all third party updates

I run a lab with 34 student accounts that are "Managed" using 10.5.7. I have given students permission to use specific software and all aspects of the software in Accounts/Parental Controls. When I update Microsoft Office or Adobe CS4, I have to go into every single student account and into each individual program to "always allow" which is about 10 programs for each machine. Of coarse all the checkmarks in the parental controls are already checked off for the student account when I check under parental controls?
Anybody having this issue. This happens on both Intel and PowerPc's.
This happens on fresh installs of Leopard to disks that have been zeroed out, on updates from Tiger and on CC cloned machines.
I have of coarse repaired all permissions before and after the updates.
It is extrememely laborious to have to do this after small incremental updates to third party software.
Actually, I've had to do it with Safari as well. It may not just be a third party issue.
One things for certain. It is ****.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is DW installed on a server or is it installed on a user's desktop? If it is installed on a server then it won't install properly because it is not designed to be run from a server because of licensing issues. Adobe can't allow you to use one user license and then installing on a server and so used by 100 other users.When you reply please also state your operating system.

Permissions issue after Mavericks upgrade

I have just updated an early 2008 IMac with OSX Mavericks.
All software running fine, but I noticed occassionally I was getting an authentication prompt on some files, didn't follow, but simply authenticated as and when I need to, I assumed it was when I moved files from my Mac Pro to my Imac.
Having run the upgrade however, I get an error message to contact the vendor (Battlefront) as my copy of Combat Mission Battle for Normandy has lost its license.
After the upgrade I had also purchased from the same vendor Combat Mission Fortress Italy. Having downloaded this and gone to run after copying to applications, this software gives me an error message saying unknown developer so I have got no where near installing a license.
Having contacted the vendor and tried to get a work around, I am now getting the message it is you Mac not our software, despite the fact that all my other software is working fine (and the fact that the Combat Mission Battle for Normandy game worked fine until the upgrade).
I do feel some sympathy for them, I do think the Mac has some sort of permission issue - I also probably compounded this by deleting a user which I did not recognise called 'wheel' which I suspect now is some form of default permisison.
Anyone got any ideas, how do I 'reset' the system - I have tried fixing the permissions through disk utility.
My vendor got me to run a sudo command through Terminal, but I got the message...
sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

Permissions Issues after Transferring iTunes Library to new Mac.

My intention is to move the library off my old iMac, and keep the iTunes library on the new one, while still keeping the old iMac around. After the transfer i intend to delete the library off the old one, and use HomeSharing to utlize iTunes on both Macs. Also, the old iMac is where our family has synced ever iPod, iPhone, & iPad we've owned... I've been on the support community for almost two days now, and thought I had it figured out, but... i obviously don't. So i apologize if there is a thread that already answers this question, if so, please be kind
in the process of moving my iTunes from my old iMac (iMac7,1 - OS X 10.6.8) to my new iMac (iMac Late 2012 - OS X 10.8.5) i used the instructions on: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. It identified how to move the library found in (on my old iMac) VolumeA/music/iTunes. I used the External Hard Drive method, only I linked up the two iMacs with an Ethernet cable (direct connect, no router) and copied the iTunes folder (as described in the instructions) to the desktop of the new iMac. Then I pasted the iTunes folder over the existing folder on the new iMac.
Now I'm having trouble with permissions on the new iMac now. At first iTunes wouldn't even open. It said I didn't have permission, or the library was in a locked file. I thought I had it figured out by going into "get info" in the iTunes folder (on the new iMac) and adjusting the permissions. which worked as far as allowing iTunes to open now (Both computers are running iTunes 11.1 (126)).
Now that i've synced my iphone 5 with the iTunes (on the new iMac) i noticed that some of the songs wouldn't sync because I don't have permission...?
Beginning to think I've screwed this whole thing up...
Also, I noticed that there is another iTunes folder, that wasn't discussed in this article: VolumeA/Library/iTunes - Do i need to copy this one over as well?
I'm such a noob at this that i'm almost embarrased to ask for some help, but PLEASE HELP!! I haven't touched my old iMac's library, and won't until
Thanks in advance for anything you can do!

It helps to know which instructions you are following. Some people follow the wrong instructions and just move media, not the whole library which consists of many files and folders. You do not do it with changing preferences.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Permissions issues after migration

I've just got hold of a new retina MBP, and have had a number of issues since using setup assistant to transfer everything over from my old MBP to my new MBP.
I suspect these are all permissions based - but would appreciate some help from an expert. My conviction that they are all permissions related is because initially I had an issue with not being able to access certain folders and applications (including Mail), which was resolved by my adding my user name to the Sharing and Permissions info section of the Home and Applications folders, and applying changes to all contents.
However these issues still remain:
TopSites in Safari not updating to show that the websites have changed.
     - This despite me trashing the TopSites plist from library, and emptying the cache.
My Epson scanner won't open.
     - When I plug it in and open the application it tells me it cannot 'write to file', and then shuts itself down.
When I open iPhoto I always get the welcome message, and I can't find an option not to show this on start-up.
     - It's like the MBP doesn't register that I'm not using iPhoto for the first time, even though everything else works fine.
I always get a file - cache.db - sitting on the top of my Home file.
   - I can trash it but it always pops back.
My Address Book won't update.
     - iCal updates fine, and my updates are changed on iCloud but I can't get the Address Book to pick up changes on my MBP.
When I reboot and open Mail it always opens the latest email at the time of my original migration
     - and not the latest or the unread at the top.
I'd be grateful if any experts out there could offer up any solutions to these riddles.

The procedure below will reset the permissions of a home folder in OS X 10.7.4 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the current version first. This procedure should not be used in OS X versions older than 10.7.4.
Back up all data.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock, then press the following key combinations, in the order given:
Command-3
Shift-command-H
Command-I
The Info window of your home folder will open. Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.
By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others, and Personal Web Sharing won't work. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.
If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups besides "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.
Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.

Outlook cant open PST permissions issue after server migration

Yesterday I spent the day consolidating files on our server.Users my Doc folders are redirected to the server.I moved the central file share \\server\User Home Folders$ from the soon to be decommissioned G: volume to the New central storage D:I used emcopy64 for this to retain all file permissions and owner etc.This is the command I used:G:\emcopy64 "g:\User Home Folders" "d:\User Home Folders" /o /s /secforce /c /r

Two of me as admin users in new MBA causes permissions issues after setup and migration

Normally I migrate to new Macs via firewire target mode. Flash forward to a new MacBook Air with no firewire.
I think I made a mistake in migration. I began setup as a new owner of the brand new MBA, then migrated my existing G4 PowerBook contents using Time Machine via USB.
The end result is that I have two accounts that represent me on the new MBA; the one I was guided into setting up when I first powered the MBA up, and the old user account from the PB. Although both are admin accounts, I have access to only some files when logged in as either admin. I tried repairing permissions, but no go. It also seems to hide files from the other account when searching in Spotlight.
It seems the only fix may be to do this all over again without setting up a new account in the MBA, but is that even possible? What would be the best way out of this mess so that I have one admin account with access to new files created under the new user and old files from the old PB user, as well as full permissions for all documents?

I concur with Colin: start over and use Setup Assistant. I used Migration Assistant once and it took me a week to clear up the mess. Although the two are basically the same process, by the time you use MA you already have an account established - hence the duplications - whereas SA moves over and creates one account.
And, for Colin:
looks like the OP inserted an impage/jpg of his post?

Permissions/ Ownership issues after time machine restore

I moved from one macbook pro to another a few months ago. I opened the brand new one up, and set it up with the same account name as my old one.
I then proceeded to restore my old data from a time machine backup using the migration assistant.
Apparently there were some issues trying to migrate from a backup with the same name as the owner of the new computer, so I had to pick a new one. I then switched back over using the root user.
Even though I'm the only account on the computer besides root, and have admin privileges, some programs won't install or upgrade, I get a system message saying that I have insufficient privileges.
Is there any way to give the one account complete control of my system? I don't like having to use root that much. Thanks for your help!

Similar issues. My iMac had one of the Seagate 1TB drives that was part of the recall program. After I loaded Maverick, I started having issues that seemed to be disk related and I started getting some Time Machine errors...never had any errors until installing Maverick.
Since I was outside my 3 Yr warranty...Apple would only cover 1/2 the costs of replacing my "faulty" drive. Can't believe this was their policy to make me pay 1/2 for a drive they've known to have enough problems to announce a recall? They told me the problem was Seagate...I refuted by telling them...no...it's Apple. Can you believe they would try to pass the buck on Seagate...Apple has their label on my machine and they are the ones that negotiated the recall with Seagate? Whew!
So I took in my Time Machine backup via a 1TB External Seagate drive...and now the fun begins. I've had my system in to the Genius bar for several weeks...many trips. I've learned to not take my machine home without test driving myself as they tend to only fix 1 of the permissions issues at a time. It doesn't seem they really know what's going on...which is pretty scarey.
Anyway...the fix they seemed to use in the store was to rename my user directory and then create a new user directory with my original name...then copy everything in the renamed directory into the new directory. That fixed issues with Mail...but now my mail is totally screwed. Can't believe the work I had to do to get my mail folders all back to somewhat normal. iMovie couldn't find my movies folder. iCloud preview pane wasn't opening. I couldn't save/write to my internal disk on most of my apps. The one app I didn't test before leaving the store was iTunes. It's still screwed up and I'm not sure the chmod command will fix it...I think they tried this as an initial fix at the store. What a nitemare...
Open to any suggestions. Thanks!

After reinstall, permissions issues even though they say read-write for owner

So I spent all day yesterday rebuilding my system after a power surge from a tripped breaker fried my old hard drive (so much for surge protectors).
Now when I try to register a software plug in, I get an error saying "Access denied. Please check permissions on /Library/Preferences/ [the software in question, it doesn't matter]".
And then, with Safari, when I try to access any website that requires Java applets, I get an error saying that the applet won't load properly, even though I've updated to the most recent version of Java. I'm pretty sure this is because the Java applets are not being allowed to write data to my /Library/Preferences/ folder (or maybe just any folder in the /Library/ folder).
When I run Disk Utility and repair permissions, I'm getting the exact same messages every single time, so even though it's saying the permissions are getting repaired, clearly it's not saving those repairs.
I'm 99% sure that this is a permissions issue following the restore from a previous Time Machine save -- I've seen this before and found a fix involving Terminal commands, but I can't for the life of me find the fix anymore.
I have temporary workarounds for the moment (though it's kind of a pain to have to re-register this software every single time I open the application, and I can have co-workers access the websites that require the Java applets to work, but that's inconvenient for all around), so it's not a pressing issue, but any help tracking down what Terminal commands I should use to solve this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

How do I migrate from one user to another to resolve sleep/permissions issues?

My MacBook Pro's been having several issues, mainly with waking from sleep. I've tried Repairing Permissions, Repair Disk, running tools like OnyX and Drive Genius, but they can't find any issues. I checked the Console log, and there was some sort of denial from displaying the login window after I woke up from sleep.
Initially I thought this had to do with some of my peripherals being plugged in when I already had the lid closed; the Mac would wake up, not realize the lid was closed, and never go back to sleep. Nothing--keyboard or trackpad touches--would wake the machine up. I'd have to hard reset by holding the Power button on.
I had an Apple Genius suggest that I create a new user and test it out with the (same) default sleep settings as the buggy user account. It wakes up from sleep lightning fast, and has thus far never had any issues.
I'm leaning toward sticking with this new user and migrating over my things bit by bit, to try and avoid potential permissions issues. But since I don't know where the source of this sleep problem lies, how should I go about it?
I've read through Pondini's Transfer Guide here http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html, but I'm just wondering where people would start, knowing that the machine has had permissions issues with some files. (The permissions issues, btw, I believe were caused by a mangled Time Machine restore. I replaced my internal HD with another one, but the Time Machine/Migration Assistant restore wasn't complete. I did it a second time from within the user account that got created, then tried to delete the malformed one and rename the complete one, but that's when the issues started.)

I wasn't intending to move the entire home folder, rather, moving things like what's inside my Documents folder in chunks.
From what I read, tracking down the origin of sleep/wake problems on a computer is notoriously hard, especially if Disk Utility and similar tools don't give any clues during Repair Disk or Repair Permissions. Creating the new user seemed to help, but I don't know why that alone would "fix" anything, so I haven't moved any files as of yet nor done anything with the new user account.
Trying to move the things from my Library folder to my desktop also seems a bit risky; it's hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion because a lot of system files are there, right? Wouldn't moving them cause problems, not just help me find what file/folder (if any) could be the culprit?

"screen shot can't be saved" and other permissions issues

After having my iMac at the Apple Store for four days solving a problem with "quit unexpectedly" issues with all Apple built-in Apps on OS X Yosemite, I got the machine back with those problems solved. It involved re-installing OS X and restore files from backup. I thought all was well; the Genius Bar dude showed me that it's fixed. He said it took so long because of bizarre permissions issues he'd never seen before.
Now that I've lugged this 40lb machine back home (after verifying the fixes in the store) I now find that several (other) functions don't work. When I try to do a screenshot, I get this message:"Your screen shot can't be saved. You don't have permission to save this file in the location where screen shots are stored." Message could have been more helpful; the "location" is the desktop. Pretty descriptive, though. Seems I can't save anything to the desktop.
I tried creatng a folder on the desktop. Got this message: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this". Type password and new folder appears. Drag the new folder to the trash, get same message..
I tried copying a file from a network drive to the desktop. I get this dialog: "Modifying Desktop requires and administrator name and password. I clicked "authenticate" and after a 3 minute delay (with "Preparing.." ) I get this dialog; "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this". I type the password and the file appeared on the desktop. Before the work at the Apple Store, this never happened. BTW I have only one user account and it's marked "Allow user to administer this computer". Thinking something might be goofy with the pw, I changed it (took 3 minutes to do, oddly) and rebooted. No joy. Same thing happens when I try to drag something from the desktop to the trash. Long time "moving" message followed by having to provide and admin pw.
I tried to save a Safari attachment to the Downloads folder and got this message: "Safari could not download the file xxxxx because there is not enough free disk space". Since I have more than 600GB of available space, I think the message is wrong and that it's really a permission issue with the Downloads folder.
Tried to reset the password again. Click to unlock the Users & Groups panel, get "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences. Type your password to allow this".
All this tells me that somehow Yosemite is in "nag" mode (reminiscent of Windows Vista.
Any ideas?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally 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, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that 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 startup 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.

Permissions Issue, Colour Wheel, Hard Drive Issue??

Hi!
I have had issues with my mid 2009 MBP recently and I'm wondering what the best way to fix them would be.
First off, I have some major permissions issues with my accounts. I am using 3 different users regualrly on the same machine and needed to access files from the home folder so I changed them a long time ago, and am not sure how to fix that. I have repaired the permissions countless times in the disk utility and it seems like there's always loads more to do each time. When I varify the disk, it says its all okay.
Secondly, I have had the machine freeze on me several times while doing very little on it. This happened awhile ago, and thought that it was just the permisions thing and so I did that again, and it started working better, for awhile. It would go a few days or weeks before doing the same thing, sometimes not even getting past the apple logo on startup before freezing. This makes me think it may be a hard drive issue???????
This morning, I tried dozens of times to boot, with no success at all..... until about the 25th time when it miraculasly booted. I have run permissions repair a few more times and it seems to be working okay at the moment, but the problem seems to be happening more often over time.
To complicate matters, I am traveling at the moment and will not be home for several months. I purchased an external harddrive last night and was able to successfully back up my data.
Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else. The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything.
Question 2: Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward? I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it. Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
Question 3: If neither solving the permissions or the OS upgrade would fix the problem and it does need a new harddrive, is it possible to buy one and install it myself? I do not have apple care left on this machine and am on a very tight budget. I am used to taking things apart and all that as part of my job and it seems simple enough. Where can you buy a replacement??
Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me out on this one.
Cheers!!!!

Disk Utility permissions are separate from User account permissions.
This link is how to fix them

Disk Utility will always show something to be needing repair, but that's ok

Verify Disk is good, that's a good thing.

Your data is backed up, hopefully not with TimeMachine alone, but if you did, then get another drive and backup data manually to that as well. If the TM drive gets messed up, it's a pain to get your data off of it.
Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else. The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything.
Well you could call Apple for replacement 10.6.x disks, and just reinstall 10.6 and bundled programs, but this can kick out kext files out of the /System/Library/Extensions folder installed by some third party software.
This method fixes OS X, but doesn't touch your files or most programs.
Nor will this method fix your Users accounts if the issue is in there.
A creation of a new user, then deletion of the others, return files from backup (set permissions) will fix User folder issues if the above user permissions fix doesn't work.
(Of course you could wipe the drive from the 10.6 disk, but you have to install all software again)
Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?
No, you don't want to install Lion, it won't fix those issues in User folders, not only that Lion has it's own issues and doesn't work with a lot of older software etc. No use clusterfscking a already bad situtation when it's seems it's only localized to the User accounts.
I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.
Yes that could very nicely and tidy up things in the process.
What you do is transfer all files to one regular powered storage hard drive.
(Don't use/disconnect the TimeMachine drive for this as it preserves the users seperated and you don't want all those users back restoring with Migration Assistant)
Create the New User on the machine as Admin, log into it and delete all the other Users, transfer all your files back from the regular storage drive, changing all the permissions to yourself before placing them into their respective folders as they will have three different permissions.
Notes:
If you have a extensive iTunes playlists on one User (say #1), then create the new user with that same name (will require some work, create User 4, delete Users 1-3, reboot, create User 1, delete User 4) then transfer your iTunes folder to Music of that User 1 (same name as before). This will preserve the pathnames of your song locations and your playlists will be preserved.
(before you ask, no you can't combine playlists)
Also if you have photo's in iPhoto Library, you have to right click on it and "show package contents" inside is a folder called Originals, copy them out and import into the iPhoto of the User #1.
Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
Yes it preserves user permissions, no it doesn't give you a brand new start. Only a fresh install, creation of new users and then just transferring of files does that.
Nothing about TimeMachine or Migration Assistant gives one a "fresh start", it's if hosed, so is your restore.
If you want that sort of pristine protection, you need to clone your ideal boot partition/drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (free/donationware) occasionally as a hold the option key bootable drive, then you can erase and reverse clone the pristine saved clone.
One can also update the clone on occasion, this way keeping the clone pristine.
I maintain 3 clones time dated, even have my boot drive partitioned 50/50 and auto-cloned, this way I have two boot partitions on the road and two externals at home.
I never use TimeMachine, it's not bootable (well it is on 10.7.2 only to restore though)

Can't Customize, Change Settings, or Move Files -- Permissions Issue?

Hey all:
Just got a new MBP w/ 10.5.2. Successfully migrated most of my user settings and applications from the old Tiger HDD (old laptop died a horrible death).
The problem is that aside from everything appearing to be the same, I'm finding that I don't have the access to do a whole lot with my own files. Several different problems that "seem" like they're stemming from the same accessiblity/permissions issue include:
Intermittent trouble downloading files with Firefox's default download tool.
Complete inability to change desktop background.
Programs fail to remember setting changes after quit and re-launch.
System Preferences do not remember changes to settings.
Certain files can not be moved, renamed, opened, or deleted w/o admin authorization, or in some cases, at all.
The problems started after I migrated the old system over after having an interim user account running for a few days prior. After migrating, I attempted to reconcile the two together and that's when things got hairy.
In the past couple days, I have tried:
1.) Archive and Install (preserving User settings - now down to just one admin).
2.) Changing permissions to system read/write, admin read/write, everyone read only for the entire /User directory, applied to all enclosed items.
3.) Repairing Permissions (which took about 10 minutes!)
I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm stuck with my OS acting the way it wants to, which is the exact way it was after being archived and reinstalled, no matter what changes I try to apply in the Finder, Preferences, or in any programs.
I'm thinking maybe a clean install and then migrating over the backup I just made on my external HD will get me my stuff without whatever troublesome thing is freezing me out, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really understand much about command lines in Terminal.
Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

Oddly enough I just had a spastic moment with a mouse click and put my Drop Box in the Trash (I keep the Delete thing in my window toolbar, which is handy, but can lead to accidents)... Since I was playing with it I noticed its absence immediately. Realized what I had done after a moment's reflection, and put it back. Which just goes to confirm something I ALWAYS do before I empty the Trash: open it and see what's in there first, then click empty.
As to whether removing ACLs is for advanced users only: well, up until Leopard that's the way it always was, there were, until now, NO ACLs on the users folders. So should everyone have been an advanced user until now? Did you ever delete a folder in Jaquar or Panther or Tiger and empty your Trash without checking? Indeed, if you use Time Machine, available in Leopard but not before, you are already protected from such goofs, since you can recover things accidently deleted using Time Machine, so actually you are in better shape with Leopard than ever before, WITHOUT the ACLs if you use Time Machine. Until Leopard there was neither belt nor suspenders to automatically protect you from losing data. Leopard supplies both.
The situation reminds me of the continuing debate about virus protection on the Mac. Personally, I have seen various anti-virus programs cause all sorts of problems, and it has yet to protect any Mac system from anything (since as yet there are no Mac system viruses). Anti-virus software may have saved some users of Microsoft Office who share files with Windows users from getting a macro virus in their Word docs, and it might have kept a Mac user from passing on some email virus to some Windows users by forwarding stuff from the Internet. But still.... if you don't use MS Office or forward email junk, you get no benefit and may get some problems.
Same seems to me to be true of ACLs: it is possible to get a benefit (you can't accidently toss your Movies folder and lose data, assuming you mindlessly empty your Trash and don't have a backup), but an awful lot of people are having an awful lot of problems.
