For some reason OSX ONLY copies files- never moves them. Any suggestions?
TLDR:
For some reason, whenever I move a file anywhere except the trash, it creates a copy of the file rather than moving it. Example:
you have a file:
~/Desktop/someFile.txt
and a folder:
~/Desktop/aFolder/
with your mouse, drag someFile.txt to aFolder/.
release.
now you have:
~/Desktop/someFile.txt
~/Desktop/aFolder/
~/Desktop/aFolder/someFile.txt

Here's what I've tried so far:
PRAM reset.
Power reset (command + option + shift + power at boot)
verify/repair disk permissions
verify/repair disk
REINSTALL Mountain Lion

Any other ideas? Should i get rid of a library setting or something? it happens for all users on this box so whatever it is it'd have to be at / not ~/
