Repair Permissions High Sierra Dr. Cleaner How To Force Stop
Repair Permissions High Sierra Dr. Cleaner Full 128GB SSD

I implemented the fix outlined so fingers crossed on this issue.

The last couple of days, as I was organizing some files and folders, some operations like copy and paste, or move, were denied by the OS, with no helpful info in the error dialog or the system log.

Even today, I was trying my hand re-encoding some home videos to HEVC, with QuickTime, and the last two failed.

The error message said I didnt have permission to write to that folder (my home folder, so there shouldnt be a problem), but at least it got some useful info.

Repairing the volume in Disk Utility didnt solve the problem, nor restarting Finder.

Yesterday I had to reboot the machine to get rid of the problem, and today was the same.

The problem appears to be localized to the folders Im currently working on.

Yesterday, the locked folder wouldnt even display its contents, appearing as an empty.

My guess is some issue with read and write privileges on APFS, but I really dont know.

Does anyone have experienced this issue Is there anything that I could do to work around it until Apple fixes it (assuming they are aware of the problem) Thanks in advance.

Im a little surprised that my computer has been apply privileges for so long now though.

I do have a lot on this machine, so perhaps the hours should be expected Any reassurance appreciated.

The permissions (or privileges if you will) were changed in under a minute (on my two thirds full 128GB SSD), so I think you got something of an issue there.

In my first try, the very option Sharing Permissions were unavailable.

It should be completely safe, even though you cant access it, so keep trying.

It is doing something - Finder is staying up there in CPU and memory usage.

That made me think this process might be doing something file by file.

Im a little worried about how to force stop it if it comes to that, but for now Im just letting it run.

I opened Terminal, started the second step, and when I woke up this morning everything looks great.

Click on cogwheel and select apply to enclosed items.

After process finish, you should be able to log to your primary account and everything should work fine.

This time it worked and I am able to add files and documents to my hard disc.

Thank you.

I am running macOS 10.13.2 and my startup up disk is using APFS.

I have not had file permission problems on this disk but have had random crashes of some of the apps mentioned.
