Recently we've heard of a number of cases where users have a mysterious 'custom' everyone permission appear in their Sites folder. To do anything with the files inside, you have to authenticate for every change. Well, you're not the only one. There are a number of pages that suggest you set the Everyone to No Access then the other everyone to Read Only and you're done. That's great, it works, but if you have hundreds of files, it's a pain. Here's a quicker way: open Terminal (you know the Unix-y type-y thing that we hardly ever have to use) from your Utilites folder. Navigate to the folder you want to fix by typing 'cd' + space + the path to the folder. In my case it was 'cd Sites'. Then copy and paste or type this command at the prompt: sudo find . -type d -exec chmod -a# 0 \{\} \; Type your admin password when asked. This will find all of the folders in your Sites and make the permission change. Do it again with the -type d changed to a -type f to get the files. There will be a number of errors coming up, but these are ok, they're just saying that there is a file that doesn't need this command. Sounds easy, but if you'd rather not risk this fix, bring your machine by Soho and we'll be happy to make sure this fix is done! mon, 7, apr, 2008, 6:39:00 pst ../index.php?page=news This is for those of you who are still on the fence, dipping your toes in the water and swirling them around if you will. For those of you who have made the switch, this is a great renewal of faith in our good old Mac's. This article isn't all Mac love but it is a nice dose of realism. We hope you enjoy! Small disclaimer: this is a link to a blog, there are a number of yahoo's leaving colourful comments as always. Please take these with a grain of salt, they are not the opinions of Soho, the article is well worth tolerating these. fri, 14, mar, 2008 10:25:00 PST http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/02/14/50-reasons-to-switch-from-microsoft-windows-to-apples-mac-os-x/ The world's thinnest notebook, the MacBook Air, is in stock and on display at Soho Now!
