I clicked on my "Disk Utility" icon, selected "Macintosh HD", then clicked on "Repair Disk Permissions".
A window appeared saying that "Disk utility came upon something it couldn't handle, and I should quit disk utility, then restart disk utility.
When I tried to quit, another window appeared saying that "quitting in the middle of a disk repair could damage the disk, and did I still want to quit?"
I said "no" to quitting, but the disk repair was still not proceeding.
So I clicked on the "Stop Permission Repair" button, and the words "Stopped by User" appeared in red in the main window of Disk Utility.
Then I tried to close Disk Utility and it won't close after several attempts..
I tried to stop the permission repair by clicking on the "Stop Permission Repair" again, but again, it printed on the screen in Red: "Stopped by User".
How do I solve this problem without harming my computer?
Thanks,
Elaine
