I messed up! Now what?

I tried to get Adobe Lightroom plugins to work and support assuring me "permissions" are read and write to the folder root. I saw this group 'wheel' and deleted. It's still in my "user" alone but not with the Macintosh HD folder.

I know it's stupid, but he did so now what. I haven't restarted the computer for fear of a problem. My last backup a month ago and all the important files are also on a couple of external hard drives.

So all the tips for this lure other than Don't touch stuff you know nothing!

Without the GROUP 'wheel' in the box user permissions / is it safe to restart my MacBook Pro9, 2 ongoing 10.11.2?

How can I get the root GROUP 'wheel' back in its place?

  • Envy: No 1 year and win 10 messed up now what?

    Bought a new laptop HP Envy, in November 2014, with Windows 7 Pro to this topic by the HP store online.  The product name and number: GOT55AV of laptop HP ENVY 15

    Two days ago, I finally decided click on free pop for Windows 10.  That's when the trouble started.  In the end, when you press the power button, the laptop would up being the beginning and then go in close and then go start and then again to stop the cycle was endless.

    This afternoon I took in the Microsoft store in the local mall.  They couldn't fix it, so after an hour, they restored it on Windows 7.  We all thought that it worked.  They did a reboot, it was fine.  So we SHUT IT DOWN and I drove home.  After tending to various things I took it out and pressed the power button and... He starts the start up and then goes into farm will start and then stop...

    I can remove the battery while it is the bike, then replace the battery and the screem comes up saying that the closure was not complete, so I can get into safe mode with network - which is what I use for this type.

    So now, what should I do?  Very close to the end of my first year of ownership.  Not sure, might be 17 Nov.

    The guy in the store of Microsoft said that they can consider for a week to 10 days and put in market.  Or I could take it on Best Buy Geek Squad, they want $150 and 4 days to turn it on.  The guys at Microsoft have no training other than Microsoft.  I had kept the plastic on the touchpad while; a guy it off, he said that was causing the startup problem.  Uh, no.  Geek Squad, I remember well, they must have a degree of 2 years in computer science / tech to get hired there.

    I have tons of pictures and files on here, I know that I have to back all this before I let anyone to run on.

    Please make some suggestions, things that I have to think, ideas and I thank you.

    Did you call HP Support to inquire fixing under the 1 year warranty service? 800-474-6836.

    If you have an external hard drive usb you can try to boot into Recovery Manager and use it to backup files. It is not my favorite backup but emergency method, it is useful. (do not complete the recovery of the system unless you are sure that the files are backed up abort, just straight up)

  • After last update 15/10 I have the blue screen. Following the instructions I can't have in safe mode. Now what to do?

    I can't get my laptop in SafeMode even after I followed insturctions screen.  Now what to do?  Even after using the f2 or f12 or f8 I get the same screen...  Help!

    alexmac859,
    The first thing is to ensure that you have tried all the steps in this post: XP without boot troubleshooting.  The next thing is what is the error message on blue screen?  Who can help us solve the problem.

    If you can boot into Safe Mode with command prompt, or if you have a XP CD and you can boot into the Recovery Console, and then run the following commands.

    Chkdsk /r

    sfc/scannow (you will need an XP CD for this command)

    I can't connect to my user profile who is also the administrator.  I get a message that the password is incorrect, however I have not changed the password.

    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

    Forget the two laptops.
    I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
    The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

    Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

    See you soon

    Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
    Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

    It is their software.

    Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

    You say that the hard drive has failed.

    He could have more than just tough that failed.
    You can have other hardware issues.

    Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

    Good luck with Dell.
