in 10.3.8 ( recently updated from 10.2.8), but as a clean install
my wifes' user account seems to be having difficulties with a large
number of things
1. safari will not allow bookmarks
2. some apps will not open
3. dock will not keep changes
4. library>preferences has red negative symbol on it, with
permission set to Admin, which I reset to her user name, red
symbol has remained
5. constantly say no keychain - reset to default!
other users
myself, admin ( root user) and daughter all work okay
OK ! Do you have full backup of your wife's user account ?
Then create a new user and use Superduper to copy back fro the Backup
all the files to that new user account . What works now ?
I have run disk utility once, while in wifes account, it changed a
few things ( that thats what it said) but seems to have no effect
on the above
Disk Utility has Disk Repair and Permissions Repair ! Did you do both ?
I just ran only permission verify & repair
After all that , do you have Disk Warrior ? Run that and it can show stuff
that the other does not show up or fix, I have been there and done that .
yep have the latest Tiger one
I'll give both of these a go before I do the user folder backup
