ISSUES & ANSWERS
  Many errors in OS X occur because of faulty permissions on the hard drive. You can generally prevent this by running the repair permissions function in the Macintosh Disk Utility. The Help Desk recommends running it at least once per month. To repair permissions, open a Finder window, select “Applications,” and then double click the “Utilities” folder to open it.  
 



     
    Find and double-click “Disk Utility” to open the program:
 
       
    Disk Utility  
         
      Select the volume on which you'd like to run the repair (for most people, it will just read “Macintosh HD”) and then click "Repair Disk Permissions" at the bottom. The process is automatic and will take several minutes to complete. You can do other things while this runs.
