Preference Files not updating...

Hi,

my problem stemmed from recent items list not clearing when doing a restart on the computer.

I tried trashing preference files relating to the applications in question such as Logic Studio and Finder's recent list.

However, upon restart I find that no new preference files are created to replace the trashed ones.

I've searched this and other forums to no avail, can anyone advise what could be the problem as I'm completely stumped.

Thanks in advance,
ateight.
 
Hi,

in case anyone else has similar issue thought I'd share the following;

I've since found a solution for my problem thanks to some knowledgeable person at Logic forum.

It turns out I needed to repair my disk permissions and having done that I ran the following in terminal;

sudo chmod -R 777 ~/Library

It sets the library permissions for everyone on the computer but as its just me on my machine that's not a problem and now everything is working as should be.

Recent list now updates and preference files update!

Best,
ateight.
 
Gah!

While that may have fixed your problems, I highly recommend AGAINST settings you local user's Library folder to read/write for the world.

While it works in your situation, in a multi-user situation, this would be considered "a very bad thing."

Just my $0.02.
