katalyst777 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Found this on the ChiefTalk site regarding the same error that might help.https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/7427-critical-error-message/ On 2/20/2016 at 10:42 AM, KirkClemons said: To fix permissions: - Uninstall Chief: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18752 - In a new 'Finder' window, select 'Go> Applications' from the menu. - Open the 'Utilities' folder. - Open the 'Disk Utility' app. - Select your primary disk from the list on the left. - Click 'Verify Disk Permissions'. - When the verification is complete it will either report that everything is OK or it will list all the permission issues that it found. - To repair any issues it found, click on the 'Repair Disk permissions' button. - Restart your system, (Apple menu> Restart) - Reinstall Chief.

superchuckf Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
