How to remove games from steam library mac. I don't want it, yet it is always in my games list. I've tried contacting Steam Support since it seems I was unable to remove the games myself so far. This was their response; their only solution was to hide the games within my library: Thank you for contacting Steam. May 03, 2019  Steam shows every game you’ve ever purchased or received as a gift in its library. It remembers some free games you’ve installed, too. But you can hide a game from your library—or even permanently delete it from your account.

Your home folder contains many files and folders that apps on your Mac have permission to read or modify. If you use Get Info or other methods to change those permissions, you could experience issues such as these:

  • Changes that you make in System Preferences aren't saved after you quit System Preferences.
  • Changes that you make to the Dock aren't saved after you log out of your user account.
  • Windows that were open the last time you logged out or quit an app (before you changed permissions) open again after you log in or open the app.
  • You're asked for an administrator name and password when moving certain items in the home folder.
  • You repeatedly get a message that macOS needs to repair your Library to run applications.
  • When saving changes to an item, you get a message that the file is locked or you don't have permission to save.
  • Preview, TextEdit, or other sandboxed apps unexpectedly quit when opened.
  • You get an alert that the startup disk has no more space available for application memory.
  • Activity Monitor shows that Safari or SafariDAVClient is using a large amount of system resources.
  • Your Mac performs slowly.
  • iTunes says that your device cannot be synced.
  • Photos and videos that you import into Photos or iPhoto don't appear within the app, but do appear in Finder. Or your library needs to be updated or reselected each time you open Photos or iPhoto.

Reset permissions

If the issue started after changing the permissions of items in your home folder , use these steps to reset permissions.

  1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold Command (⌘)-R to start up from macOS Recovery.
  2. You might be prompted to enter a password, such as a firmware password or the password of a user who is an administrator of this Mac. Enter the requested password to continue.
  3. When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
  4. Type repairHomePermissions in the Terminal window, then press Return. The Repair Home app opens.
  5. Select your user account, click Next, then enter your administrator password. Click Next unlock the volume and begin resetting permissions on your home directory.
  6. When done, click Exit to return to the macOS Utilities window.
  7. Select Reinstall macOS, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall macOS.

If the issue persists

If resetting permissions doesn't resolve the issue:

  1. Make sure that you have a backup of your Mac, then erase your startup disk.
  2. When done, reinstall macOS.
  3. After installation completes and your Mac restarts to the setup assistant, create a new user account using a different name than the one you were using before. Any difference in spelling is enough.
  4. If you made a Time Machine backup, use Migration Assistant to restore all your files from the backup.

06 Clear system & user caches: Why is this done? What benefit/harm can this do?

The benefit is that it can clear up some odd problems caused by corrupted entries in the cache.
The only real downside is some very slight slowdowns after the next restart as the system rebuilds the caches. Main library uga mac.

Mac os x needs to repair library to run applications online

Mac Os X Needs To Repair Library To Run Applications 2016

Hello, I am the author of Panther Cache Cleaner. OS X and many of its applications use caching to improve performance. Occasionally, this cached data can go stale which results in odd behavior. Cache cleaning is very effective at fixing these types of problems.
However, cache cleaning is not without its risks. Caches can get quite large and consist of hundreds or thousands of files. It is critically important to check and repair any file system problems before deleting the caches. If there is unrepaired directory damage - particularly cross linked files - cache cleaning can create more problems than it solves.
On a healthy filesystem, cache cleaning is a very effective troubleshooting tool. Just remember to check your file system first.
And finally, thanks to Petey for a very nice list.

One of my personal complaints with OSX was having spent years getting to know how the Mac OS worked and how to troubleshoot it, then, just when I got really good at it, BANG, it went UNIX--Now I have to start all over. But that is OK, such is progress. These 20 steps are an excellent jump in the process.
My stepfather's eMac was not responding to the eject button on the keyboard. I was puzzled. I told him to restart the computer and voila, it fixed the problem. 'How did you know to do that?' he asked. I told him, 'It's a Mac.'

Also try holding it down.
On my powerbook, the eject button is so close, I now assume that the reason I must hold the eject button down, is for convenience.
Or else I'd be ejecting CDS all day!

I'd add some other, simpler things.

Force-Quit the offending application. Often that's all one needs to get things back to normal. Then re-launch the app.

Log out and back in. This should be tried before a restart. I admit, though, that I sometimes advise clients over the phone to simply restart---it's easier, especially for those who always use auto-login.

EMOJO: mojo no longer workin'

Twenty steps to help diagnose and fix system issues

This hint is similar to an OS X Troubleshooting List I've been posting, in various forms, to the Apple Discussion Forums for the last 9 months.
General OS X Troubleshooting List. Originally targeted at Jaguar, this list can also be applied to dealing with Panther. The idea is to clear any common software/hardware issues first, before concluding that there is a distinct processor and/or motherboard malady.
Level One - Simple
• repair permissions (Disk Utility/Disk First Aid)
• check the filesystem (Disk Warrior for OS X)
• create a new (testing only) user account, and see if the problem persists there..if not, the problem is with damaged preferences. Use Jaguar/Panther Cache Cleaner..see www.VersionTracker.com
• remove any StartupItems in /Library/StartupItems/
• unplug all USB, FireWire devices except Apple mouse, connected directly to the computer
• clear system & user caches (Jaguar/Panther Cache Cleaner, Cocktail, etc.)
• zap PRAM (See Apple.com for how-to on your particular machine - do not over use this tactic )
Level Two - Extended
• remove any 3rd party or questionable quality RAM (Samsung and Micron are trusted)
• reseat all PCI cards & cable connectors where possible (don't forget the cables for the optical drives)
• remove 3rd Party PCI cards
• reinstall the latest combo updater (Jaguar) and repair permissions again
• remove any Extensions from /Library/Extensions/
• remove 3rd party Extensions from /System/Library/Extensions
• check the hard drive for bad blocks (Disk Warrior, Drive Ten)
• run the Apple hardware diagnostic CD that came with your computer
• reset PMU (See Apple.com for how-to on your particular machine)
• perform an OS X 'archive and install'
• reinstall the system from scratch
• contact Apple and plan to take the machine in or have it returned for service
Keep notes as you go. This will allow you to answer questions when you talk to Apple as a final effort towards resolution. Be firm and be nice, but make it Apple's problem. Take down the names of everyone you speak to, and work up through the chain of command until you locate someone with the authority to deal with your issue.

kmt,
My original list was even closer to your list than this one is. You can see the progress at the Mac OS X Hints Forum link at the bottom of the article.
I went through two evolutions that might be of interest:
- Using SafeBoot as an diagnostic step up the tree allows you eliminate a bunch of items on your list.
- Since PRAM is a subset of NVRAM, resetting the NVRAM is a more comprehensive step.

I'd like to add this…
I run using Panther 10.3.2 (G4 500/1Gb Server & G3 500/500Mb PowerBook with many external FireWire drives and Belkin 2.4 Ghz wi-fi network.
TURN OFF JOURNALING BEFORE YOU START ANY REPAIRS!
I have Systemworks 2 Norton Utils loaded on separate partitions under Jaguar 10.2.8 and have downloaded Symantec's latest 'updates for NU' (December 22nd 2003)
While in Panther, open Disk Utility and DISABLE JOURNALING ON ALL THE VOLUMES YOU WANT TO REPAIR!
This will allow Disk Doctor to fix probably all the problems that Disk Utility could not. Don't be afraid to run Disk Doctor many times until 'No Problems Found' is shown. Only when you are satisfied, reboot in Panther and proceed to open Disk Utility and RE-ENABLE JOURNALING.
Happy Problem-free computing! Like me! Hope it helps

i think if DW didn't fix it, i might run norton JUST to scan the files and nothing else, to see if there's a corrupt file perhaps. then just wipe the damn thing

AS I have posted on the forum previously:

'06 Check that you are not running out of space on the system drive'
I would like to add that if you have your iTunes library set to another drive and that this drive is low on space (usually less then 100Mb) it will also cause crashes just like if the system's drive was. Personnal experience, hope it helps

I installed Panther on an old PowerMac 'gigabit ethernet'. It start hanging at random points and I tried everything here except reinstalling system. After two days, was about to reinstall OS9 again when I remembered reading something about a firmware update. Swapped in a OS9 HD from another computer (you have to update from OS9), ran the firmware update and suddenly, no more trouble when back in OSX. So with an old machine, make sure the firmware has been updated before moving to OSX

I want to add to this old thread something I've learned by experience, it's Nov 05 now, since Tiger came out: Want to get up and running fast? Add a New User Account.
After many years of actually liking troubleshooting, am sad to say, it mostly doesn't pay, in Tiger (YMMV) if your time is worth anything.
Create a new account, move everything of yours to that account--except your User Preferences Folder, my sense is, why risk taking the problem with you since it's not a big deal to recreate them--and take over the computer again.
This is a very quick and clean approach, and if it doesn't help, Archive and Install is the next most efficient step. The point is to get running again. I used to care what the problem is. Now I've seen they never reoccur, for me--so I fiddle with things less, and get back to work.

After 3 years of nearly flawless performance, my MacPro on OS 10.5.8 started freezing (usually associated with the dock) and only continued to get worse with lazy pixels, dock freezes, and ultimately grey, zigzaggy screens. I reinstalled OS 10.5.8 several times and tried every trick on the net (reset PRAM, disconnect power, Safe Boot, Disk Utility, memory checks, rebuilds, new user account, etc) for over two weeks!
The computer would operate normally under a safe boot however, so I figured it must be a corrupt system file. Yet I could not isolate it successfully.
Today I rebooted (regular boot) with ONLY the mouse connected and discovered my OEM keyboard is faulty. I am now using an old keyboard from my G3 and my MacPro is operating perfectly.
But I don't understand why --under a safe boot-- the old keyboard seemed to operate OK. Any suggestions?
So happy to have my Mac back!
