I have had similar issues. Had to purchase Disk Warrior and found
corrupt permissions on the Mac. Seems to happen when installing 3rd
party USB WIFI sticks. Verizon's came with an old installer which wasn't
compatible with a MAC Air and would corrupt it each time the user would
try and launch.

Subject: OT: DNS craziness on a mac

i hate to interrupt all the john bashing, but i have something just as
OT i thought i would look for some help with.

client has mac with snow leopard that suddenly can't use DNS.  i can use
nslookup in terminal to successfully query a DNS server.  but DNS
lookups fail when using a browser or even ping.  craziness. 

hosts file and resolv.conf look right.

i'm almost at the point of a rebuild, which is a pain when you have to
reinstall all the adobe CS apps.
