Yosemite upgrade messed up file permissions
After upgraded to Yosemite, I am noticing a pattern:
Yosemite messed up my file permissions, and repairing the file permissions on my volume via Disk Utility did not help.
Mail:
Frequently crashing complaining about not being able to write to this file (Why was this not a problem before?!):
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not write plist to /Users/aaa/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support/Mail/OnlineAccountTypes/com.apple.updated.mailaccounts/MailAccounts.pli st'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
iCloud:
Checkboxes are grayed out in iCloud Preferences as signed-in. Once signed out, I can't sign back into iCloud.
I don't know what to do with adding the iCloud Drive..I can't seem to edit the darn iCloud preferences even though it shows I am signed in after a restart.
Personal text file under my Documents directory:
It said file is locked, although it is not. I can't edit my own personal text file after the upgrade! I went into the "Get Info", noticed "everybody" custom in the permissions. I don't remember setting custom everybody permissions my self. I removed it. and added everybody read&write.. Then, only then, I was able to save changes.
I am Admin on my own iMac, by the way.
What a mess, Apple. Very frustrated.
I am hoping all the file permissions will be set properly with your next Yosemite patch and very very soon. Do I have to worry about file permissions with other files too!?
Should I re-install Yosemite to fix all of these issues, or what? How?
Thanks.
