This is the Leopard forum but you appear to have Lion. You would get faster help on the correct forum.


Try a permissions repair.


If you cannot do this or if does not cure the problem try the following:


1 - Restart Lion, and before you hear the chime, hold down the Command and R keys.


2 - On the Menu Bar select Utilities and then Terminal.


3 - Type the following in the Terminal window.


resetpassword


4 - Hit Return.


5 - Password reset utility will open but don't reset password.


6 - Click the Mac’s hard drive icon at the top and select your account.


7- Click Reset in 'Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs' at the bottom of the window.


8 - This will take a few of minutes. When it’s done, exit the programs you opened and Restart the Mac.
