Reset home folder permissions and the default ACL on macOS Sierra?

A tool that I've used in the past to troubleshooting doesn't seem to be available in macOS Sierra.

There was a procedure in el captain to reset the permissions of file and ACLs in start in recovery mode, by running the command terminal, resetpassword.  This command pulls up a GUI in Sierra as el cap but the "reset the user permissions and ACLs" option is no longer there.

This article describes the procedure to el captain

Is there another way to reset the permissions of the user and the default ACLs on macOS Sierra?

If you are looking for in the forums on the topic and limit to messages by Linc Davis, he posted a script that will reset everything.

  • Method to reset the default ACL of support?

    In Windows 7 Professional x 64, is there a supported method to return all ACLs (access control lists) to their default settings that do not need to reinstall Windows?

    I ask because well-meaning Web sites advise to use subinacl or secedit for this. I want to know if these are methods supported. I don't want to risk the integrity of my installation of Windows. If the only supported way to reset ACLs is to re - install Windows, I need to know that.
    If not, is there a web page somewhere, perhaps on a Microsoft Web site, which shows what are the default ACLs?

    Hello

    I suggest you link and check if that helps.

    How to restore the security settings to a known working state?

    Note: Applies to Windows 7.

    Subinacl or Secedit commands do not support Windows 7. However, for more information I suggest you send your query in the TechNet forums.

  • I just installed FF4 and the default theme seems odd, how to fix?

    Hey, I just installed firefox 4 and the default theme doesn't look like the screenshots I've seen. I have no button firefox (I have a menu instead) and the interface has a dark background. In addition, the new tab buttons and the home page are in a different position.

    How do I change this to the default settings?

    The screenshot you provided does not work!

    It seems you're on Windows XP.

    Right-click on the menu bar and uncheck the option menu in the right click menu bar. You will see a Firefox orange Button in the leftmost tabbed moving upward.

    Where you need the menu bar in the future as it is sometimes necessary for some options, you can easily get it by the F10 key. It displays the menu temporarily.

    You can customize it by selecting the Customize option in the right click menu that I said to you, and you can drag and drop any button anywhere.

    The default theme on Windows XP is very dull.
    So, why not try personas. It is large and not memory hogs.

    as well as the name of wi - fi network.   They are all gone.  I don't know how this has happened and I can't find a way to get back them.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I found the problem.  The new installation of BlackBerry Protect caused the time and date and other above disappearing icons.  I have since deleted the application and everything was restored.

  • By default and the default installation path

    Should I use best practices in default installation of MS Office and other programs path because my company uses the directory default for MS Office installation and other programs? The default path points or C:\Program Files (x 86) C:\Program but my company created a new folder directory outside the Program Files directories for several executable programs. Let me know that my company should follow best practices to avoid the mess of the operating system?

    Typically, you leave the default installation path is.

    Show you the paths are for 64 bit & 32 bit programs, more often that it is senseless to do otherwise.

    And if you talk to a separate partition/drive programs usually function properly, or not at all, if installed on other than the partition Win

  • How to define commands and the default view

    I have Acrobat 9 Standard, and I want to set the default to open files to view full page with one-page-at-a-time of scrolling.  I regularly open multiple PDF files and have to scroll through the entire document.

    I managed to get the full view page to work, but does not scroll the entire page.  Currently, when I open the document, the mouse scroll the document continuously wheel several rows at a time.  What I want is for the mouse wheel to scroll through the document to a full page at a time (page up/page down).  I can manually set it by selecting the 'Full Page' button on the toolbar (the one with the four arrows), but it is another step, I have to every time I open a document.

    Is it possible to put the scrolling in full screen by default?

    You must put once the file PDF is loaded. You may need to edit document properties in some cases (use ctrl-D). I say this, but it seems that using one link to another location in the document resets the display properties based on the document. In this case, you will need to change the properties of the document (if available).

  • How to change the space between folder icon and the text on the personal toolbar?

    I have some files in the personal toolbar with just a letter to indicate what they are, but on the theme that I use, the letter is too far from the record, it belongs to and partially falls under following folder icon. I don't want to increase the space between all the icons to show the full letter, as this decreases the amount of icons that you can have in the toolbar. Instead, I want to reduce the space between the file and the text belonging to him, so he is right next to him instead of 5 pixels away.

    I found various entries to change the padding and margins in userChrome.css, but it's always around the icon, I don't know where to look to close the space between the icon and the corresponding text.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Did you check the value of the left margin of the text?

    You can set if necessary negative margin values.

    #PlacesToolbarItems .toolbarbutton-text { margin-left: -2px !important; }

    Add .bookmark-item [container] If this enough for the items in the folder

    #PlacesToolbarItems .bookmark-item[container] .toolbarbutton-text { margin-left: -2px !important; }
  • I have a problem with the American version of Firefox layout for printing in millimeters and the default page as A4 instead of the letter size.

    The default page size is A4 instead of the letter in the American version of Firefox (10.0.2). I know it was the letter before. The margins were 0.5 inch now is 12.7 millimeters. What happened twice. I unloaded the extensions I thought that maybe caused this, but nothing helped. It is a pain to export all bookmarks, uninstall Firefox and remove all traces of the program and reinstall. Is there a way to default on letter with thumb size margins?

    I deleted the resolved status as you indicate that you have not fixed yet.
