Try creating a new user account and allow it to administer the Mac.

Never had such a poor OS X experience, being a happy Mac user since 2004. One try, and if there are still problems, I'll restore my trusty old Mavericks system again. Understandably, there is no record of the problems in any log file.Īt the moment I'm again trying to have my current, makeshift-wise repaired Yosemite system backed up with Time Machine (or I will buy a new external HD and make a CCC backup), then re-install Yosemite. status for the device reads ' Verified' in diskutil info, and SMARTReporter says so, too. I wonder if this is a real hardware error, since it is quite a big coincidence that this happens shortly after installing Yosemite. And I saw in iStatMenus that all disk activity had ceased first, then my hard disk drive had just vanished - which is part of the Fusion drive that carries my root filesystem. My shell session showed errors like /bin/ls: device not configured (IIRC). But suddenly the system stopped working, one window after the other showed the spinning beach ball and was non-responsive. I had decided to give a re-install a try, therefore I was backing up my current Yosemite system in advance via Time Machine. Should I re-install Yosemite to fix all of these issues, or what? How? Do I have to worry about file permissions with other files too!? I am hoping all the file permissions will be set properly with your next Yosemite patch and very very soon. Then, only then, I was able to save changes. I don't remember setting custom everybody permissions my self. I can't edit my own personal text file after the upgrade! I went into the 'Get Info', noticed 'everybody' custom in the permissions. It said file is locked, although it is not. Personal text file under my Documents directory: I don't know what to do with adding the iCloud Drive.I can't seem to edit the darn iCloud preferences even though it shows I am signed in after a restart. Once signed out, I can't sign back into iCloud.
