Jan 3, 2016 4:39 AM in response to magnusboguckiby dialabrain,If you are running El Capitan, you could try disabling SIP although I wouldn't recommend it.
Any earlier version of OSX you can run Disk Utility>Repair Permissions and see if that helps.

Jan 3, 2016 4:46 AM in response to magnusboguckiby dialabrain,Not really, no. If you look at Disk Utility you will notice the option is no longer there.

Jan 3, 2016 4:48 AM in response to dialabrainby magnusbogucki,hmm sounds like that solution could have worked. Disabling a security feature doesnt sound like a solution to get my catalogues working because this happens if i am connected online or not anyway.

Jan 3, 2016 4:52 AM in response to magnusboguckiby dialabrain,Personally I wouldn't recommend disabling SIP. Is the version of Lightroom you are using supposed to be El Capitan compatible?

Jan 3, 2016 4:55 AM in response to dialabrainby magnusbogucki,As it is the "CC" version of adobe I presume it is. When I was talking to adobe support they didnt mention anything about this either.

Jan 3, 2016 5:06 AM in response to magnusboguckiby dialabrain,There is a 2015.1 version of CC. I don't use it so I really don't know if it's 100% compatible or not.
I'm not too sure I would take Adobe's Tech support at their word, not that they are worse than anyone else.
There is a Terminal command to repair permissions that aren't protected by SIP. Not sure that would help. You would need to search for it. I'm not comfortable posting Terminal commands here.

Jan 3, 2016 8:01 AM in response to magnusboguckiby Linc Davis,Your problem has nothing to do with SIP, and you should not disable SIP for any reason.
Please back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouchg {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. You may be prompted to select a language, then the OS X Utilities screen will appear.
If you use FileVault 2, select Disk Utility, then select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another drive icon. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
Select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
