I have been working on this a while, some of the files I can not find, when I try to modify the plist from 5530 to 5525, in the 3 places I see, I can not get it to save the changes. I have tried what it says to allow read and write, instead of read only, and included the user listed with my name, the administrator, and the other 3 listed on the main part (wheel, etc) - I also tried restarting, thinking perhaps changes would take upon restart and enable me to save the changes on the plist. No luck.
I have contacted Crywolf in San Diego (apple reseller) where I bought my 2 original G-5 Imac's with the Motorola chips (mine was upgraded to an Intel due to a bad logic board), to see if they can walk me through this. Thanks for the help, any more thoughts? This type of stuff is new to me.
