How to fix Mac Disk permissions:

Use the system's own disk utility to repair Disk permissions

This step fixes all the exception file and folder permissions found on the destination disk, whether you're using a boot disk, a removable hard disk, or something else.

First turn on the system's own disk tool (diskette Utility) application, under the _/applications/utilities_ folder

In the left menu bar, select the destination disk for which you want to repair permissions

On the right, select the "Repair Disk Permissions" (Repair disk Permissions) button, waiting for the repair progress to complete, depending on the size of the hard disk repair speed is also variable

In the above window you will be able to tell you a variety of information about those permissions exception files or folders have been repaired, the approximate information is similar to the following:

Permissions differ on "applications/. Ds_store "; Should be-rw-rw-r–; They are-rw-r–r–

Repaired "applications/. Ds_store "

Group differs on "library/printers/ppds/contents/resources"; should be 80; Group is 0.

Repaired "Library/printers/ppds"

When you're done, you'll see a "Permissions repair complete" message, and if you have more than one hard drive on your Mac, you'll need to fix the permissions once for each hard drive.

Use Disk Utility for permission validation

In fact, the permission to verify the steps are not needed, because in the process of your repair, you will first verify that the wrong files and folders will be repaired, and if the first verification, the second step to repair the time or need to verify again. But if you just want to know that there are problems with the files and you don't want to fix them, use this (but I don't think anyone should). The steps are the same as before, except that the "Verify Disk Permissions" (Verify diskette Permissions) button is finally clicked. The message that is prompted will only tell you the wrong place and the permissions that you should have, without actually fixing the permissions on the files and folders.
