Serious help needed, google chrome wont work, access priviledge problems

I have a 2007 MacBook Pro. I recently wanted to change the settings so I wouldn't have to type my password to make changes to the system settings, so I typed this is the terminal :
sudo chown -R myname .
Then I put in my password. After that I changed an account called "wheel" that I never saw before from "read and write" to "read". In the middle of this I think I cancelled the operation. Shortly after the internet page I was on crashed. I tried to restart Google Chrome and it doesn't respond. I tried safari and it doesn't do a thing. My iTunes keeps giving me a message that says the library cannot be saved because I don't have sufficient access priviledges.
I'm seriously worried right now that I permanently broke my laptop and I am very concerned and help would be so appreciated rn.

Just a few additional thoughts; if you would like to attempt some automated repairs:
A) Repair disk permissions via single user mode. This link should help: http://osxdaily.com/2014/01/27/verify-disk-command-line-mac-os-x/
B) Purchase a boot-able flash drive for Disk Warrior: http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior. Which is a more advanced tool than the built-in one.
By using sudo, it makes (super user) changes instantly. The reason unix and similar oses prompt for a password is to safe guard potential harmful system changes. You can't remove the requirement entirely from needing one.
Its tough to trouble shoot blind without being there, but hopefully the system can be restored with a backup or repairing permissions.

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

Do you need google chrome for new version of adobe reader

Hi=
Sorry about the previous question. I went into on-line banking to pay bills, and was advised that I needed to download the
newest version of Adobe Reader, which I did. When I click on the payee I get a message saying to install the newest
version of Adobe Reader. I guess my question is do you need Google Chrome for this to take effect. It worked before
with just Google.Thanks to the answer from grafiti, guess I did not make my question clear.so here it is again
WILL THE NEW VERSION ONLY WORK WITH GOOGLE CHROME.

In contrary; Google Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Need to uninstall and reinstall firefox, google chrome wont allow it, tells me I go some page open and I have not

need to uninstall and reinstall firefox , It tells me to close google chome windows I get thi message when I
go to control panel programs & features high firefox then uninstrall
I have done the same process with google chrome

The Firefox uninstaller asks you to close Google Chrome?? That's strange. I assume you have closed ALL browser windows when that happens.
I should ask: why do you need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox? This usually doesn't fix problems with Firefox. Maybe check out this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

Please help me my ipod wont work! D:

I need serious help D:! ok so i have succesfully synced music onto my ipod b4 but i wanted more songs so i was syncing music onto my ipod touch once again and once the sync was almost finished it said something about an error and then when i unplugged my ipod all of my songs that i had 1st put on my ipod were gone D:! after that my ipod stopped showing up on itunes on one of my computers so i switched to the other and it started doing the same thing. i came on here and was told it might be because itunes wasnt up to date so i updated itunes and my ipod but after the update, during the time when it was backing up software i think, another error popped up and said something about how the session had timed out, my internet connection is fine to so it wasnt that. after that another error popped up saying i needed to restore my ipod back to its factory settings and i said ok but another error always pops up saying the sesion timed out of something! now my ipod is like it was when i first got it! the screen shows the end of a usb cord pointed at the itunes sign! ive tried turning it off but it wont work! and when i try to hook it up to itunes on either off my computers it doesnt show up in itunes and a message from windows pops up and says "Found new hardware: Windows needs to install driver software for your apple mobile device (Recovery mode)" please help me i cant even do anything at all with my ipod right now! D:

The Internet provider might have too many people using the Internet than what the particular servers are setup for. Or your computer just needs to reset. Try restarting your computer. Also do a hard reset on the iPod. Hold the power button and wake button down until you see the apple logo come on. Let go. Then let the ipod finish bopting up . Then restore your iPod as a new iPod, NOT from the backup.

Download help with Google Chrome?

Hi! I'm new here. I've downloaded Adobe products before and I have Google Chrome. My
problem is that when I downloaded and installed Shockwave and Flash, not long after Shockwave crashed. I removed the program
from my computer(both Shockwave and Flash) because I got scared. I would like to try them again, but I'm afraid they'll crash again.
My adobe Air and Reader X work just fine. Any ideas?

Google Chrome comes with Flash Player preinstalled; you cannot install or uninstall it.
If you need help with Shockwave Player, please post in the Shockwave Player forum.

Silverlight and google chrome not working after system update

I just did a system update and now google chrome and the silverlight plugin do not work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both numerous times, restarted, and checked for updates again but nothing works. What's going on?

Check compatibility with their respective vendors.

Why can't I use certain buttons on my keyboard in certain sites on Firefox and in Google Chrome they work fine?

yesterday and this morning I noticed that my C, V, and H key was not working within Firefox browser, it works fine in MS Word and Google Chrome and other places but with Firefox it was as if the keys were damaged.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Help my Mac mini wont work with the airpot

I have got the Mac mini Intel Core Solo G5 model and ive got a ibook G4 my G4 works great and fine but my mac mini does not. I connect to the base station fine useing the drop down bit on the taskbar in finder and enter the password and it connects. But when i do network assistant and it asks for me to eneter the password again it just basicly frezzes for a min then says invalid password when i know that it is the write base station password. It did work once but froze again and said could not connect. and when i go into the airport utlity it can't descover the base station even though it says it is connected with a full signal, im doing the excatly same things i did with my ibook but it just wont work. Please can someone help me and tell me what i have to do or give me some support this is my last hope as apple aren't intrested. I will be very gratful!

The software update was for Intel based Mac computers and does not specify Core Duo or Core 2 Duo:
AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001
This update is recommended for all Intel-based Macintosh computers and provides compatibility with AirPort Extreme base stations and networks.
This is the update that generated a fix at www.macfixit.com because some folks have been having issues with connection with their internet provider and some people have had issue with their airport systems just shutting down.
It was part of an auto update that was received. One of my Macs is a MacBook Pro Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) and this upgrade (download) was part of the update check that is automatically performed.
