messed up with file permission macintosh hd

[reddesert]

im new to macs and some day, today, i had the briliant idea of wanting to get rid of those always
present user authentication alerts
so i add my user account to file
permissions list of macintosh hd,
this ended up messing with other
users accounts, some apps wont
load, home user folders not
locked, yeah the alerts stoped, but now who cares for alerts, dont mind them at all if osx will stop acting mad,removed my account from
the list but didnt help, is there a
:solution? thanks.

Try this: http://pondini.org/OSX/Password.html. After that I would run Disk Utility Repair permissions.

thanks, when googling i come across that solution, didn´t aply till now because i think the macintosh hd , the driver i change the premission settings wouldn´t be affected, just the users folders.. so , now i did that , and didn´t resolve immediately things for me but now i was able to create another user account and the folders of that user now i see they are bloked, this didn´t happen before, fine, so i replace the user accounts with new ones, and at least every account seems private for now, i also unnistall those apps that didn´t load, installed them again and so far everything seems fine, i just don´t know if all those files above the user accounts , macintosh hd libraries and etc are ok.. will keep the system like this for now, i would do a clean install but i have a bootcamp partition and im afraid of loosing it, thanks again.

You will be able to erase the primary partition which has Yosemite installed the name of your OS X HD (Macintossh HD?) and select erase in Disk Uitlity. Select the Macintosh HD to install and your boot camp partition will not be touched.

thats good to know, if yosemite somehow seems unstable thats what i will probably end doing (no time to tested yet, but all seems ok)thanks.
