Hi,
Somehow I made my main hard drive read only. Is there any way I can fix this? (I did this by uninstalling safari one too many times). I'm really panicking right now so if you have any ideas please help.
Edit: Okay I got it to read/write again but now Safari claims I don't meet the requirements any more. What the heck did i do? Is there any way to fix this without a reinstall of OSX

kay scratch this. It turns out the problem was the fact I had deleted Safari thus making me unable to actually use the safari 3 install. I used pacifist and my restore disks to redownload safari and everything was better

In case you messed up the permissions open Disk Utility and do a "Repair Permissions" on the main drive.
Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Select main OS X partition
Click "Repair Permissions" button
If any kind of weirdness occurs on OS X, this is the first thing you should do.
Somehow permissions get screwed up rather easily on OS X. IMHO one of the few weak points of the OS.
Help! I think I messed something up.
