Once that appears, press 'Command i' (command button and the letter i). A Finder window will open that should have a little house as the icon. From the basic 'home' screen without anything running other than Finder, select the 'Go' command in the top row of your screen and select 'Home' from the drop-down menu. Next came the steps that worked and I'm not sure if the previous steps are required or not. As a side note, it wasn't because it also happened the second time I ran Repair Permissions. This took a fair amount of time and I received some kind of ACL issue and then it said it was repaired. Then run Verify Permissions and Repair Permissions. Run Verify Disk and Disk Repair (if needed). Go to Applications/Utilites and select Disk Utility. That did nothing, but just in case, you can run these steps: The first sequence of steps took about 5 or so minutes and it did nothing (that I know of), but follow along anyway - it's just a handful of minutes.įirst they had me open Disk Utility and run a few checks. I'm a Mac novice so I may not say this in 'mac-eese'.
