superchuckf 1 Posted February 8, 2017 I think Mac did away with allowing to repair disk permissions Sierra. Tech Support confirmed more than likely a permissions issue though caused by something in the operating system migration messing up. I created a new user account with full administrative rights and everything is working great as long as I'm signed into the new account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
