Q: Problems since upgrade to El Capitan

Hi,

 

I bought an iPhone 6s and was on my MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 8GB) happy on OSX 10.7.5 but iTunes doesn't sync with the iPhone 6s (Thx Apple!!!!).

 

So I had to upgrade and did it on 10.11.5.

 

Since then, anytime I restart my computer, it looses my iCloud ID, and I have to reset it like the first time. The dock has to be reset as well. All files on the desktop are back to the position like I didn't do anything (I put a file in the trash and it reappeared exactly on the desktop where it was).

 

It turns me nuts...

 

Any help please?

 

Thx

 

Ernst

    try creating a new administrative account and boot to that account, set it up and reboot again

    is the behavior the same?

    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:

    /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec /usr/bin/chflags -h nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouchg {} + -exec /usr/sbin/chown -h $UID {} + -exec /bin/chmod +rw {} + -exec /bin/chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec /bin/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. Select Unlock from the File menu 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.
