Though the Apple file system does not require maintenance like defragmentation, correct file permissions are important for stability and performance. Repairing permissions on a Mac can take anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes.
- Open a new Finder window by clicking on Finder
- Navigate to the "Applications" folder
- Select the "Utilities" folder and then "Disk Utility"
- When Disk Utility has opened, find “Macintosh HD” (you may have renamed this) in the upper left corner of the window
- Click the button that says “Repair Disk Permissions”
When Disk Utility is done repairing permissions, close it and continue about your day!
