Please open your Terminal.app on your Mac computer and at the prompt (in the window), enter (no quotes): I am assuming that you now have some experience with the Terminal.app – using its window in order to enter commands. For now, I am interested in your Mac computer permissions problem – and how that might be a cause for a bookmarks problem. I am wondering if/how to completely uninstall brave and re-install - if that might resolve the issue? NOTE: I did export my present bookmarks to an html file on my desktop. on the Mac computer? I purchased the new mac from Apple and set up the user account -I am the sole user. (Yet the permission issue seems so pervasive, I would not be surprised if it was related to the Brave bookmarks issue)ĭid you create the first user account, and is that original account for you(?). In fact, that issue occurred in late Sept but I am just noticing the Brave issue lately. I cannot definitely say that the permissions issue caused it. Brave bowser did not have this bookmark issue at that time. It is a fairly new 16" Macbook Pro running Monterey 12.2ĭid you perform the original setup for the Mac computer? Yes. in my case, it was associated with the night/day difference (not related to the issue I actually called them about - which is also still unresolved).Īre you the original owner of the Mac computer? Yes. Apple explained it was a routine command. What is the Terminal window command that Apple gave you? I am sorry but it is was phone conversation with Apple and I did not write it down. Thanks for asking - replies to each question: I am hoping to independently resolve this issue - without losing my current set of bookmarks. Plan is for Apple to come back to resolve the entire issue. We also discovered that I can superficially put a “band-aid” on this issue by using my password to change that extra “everyone” access to “read only.” That action resolves the permissions issue for that file. We also observed that the extra “everyone” entry has a “custom” access rather than the normal “read only” (which also still appears in the same “get info” list). (Saving grace: New files are not impacted.) One example of symptom: I cannot make a change to any of my own Word files that existed prior to the terminal command without also then “saving as” another name.Īlso, other things are impacted like my mac requiring my password just to move affected files to Trash or from Downloads to Desktop.Īpple shared desktop and discovered that impacted files that existed prior to that Terminal command now have an extra “everyone” listed in “get info” privileges section. However, Apple agrees that, for some unknown reason, this command did adversely impact files on my laptop. This Terminal command was intended to help. They gave me a Terminal command that adversely impacted numerous files on my laptop. Mitigating factor: I also have a concurrent permissions issue that Apple is in the process of trying to resolve. But my current set of bookmarks are seemingly locked into one moment of time. I can also delete a bookmark, but it will reappear when the browser is closed and reopened.Īdding or deleting a bookmark should be routine. Running Brave on Mac Monterey, I can create bookmarks, but not keep them after closing browser.
