Ankle Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 You can boot safe mode with -x or you could use -s for single user mode (kinda like recovery console from Windows XP) and fix it from there. To fix permissions you can do 'diskutil repairpermissions /' from the terminal or run repair permissions from the disk utilities application in safe mode or from the install DVD.

Rammjet Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Also how do i fix permissions? If you get in via the -x mode, go to the Applications/Utilities folder and run Disk Utility. Select the partition and click on fix permissions. If you have to go the -s route then type this at the command line: /sbin/mount -uw / sudo diskutil repairpermissions / Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23037-safe-mode-for-mac/#findComment-152659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Boot up your install DVD. When it gets to the first screen, go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Select the partition for your OSX installation and repair permissions.

U.C. Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 See boot OSX with the -s option. It will ask you to type some {censored} to mount ur disk in writable mode. Do that Now type: 1) chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ 2) chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ OR Boot with the OSX disk, GO into terminal and type the above commands Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23037-safe-mode-for-mac/#findComment-152899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
