Mar 17, 2019  After rebooting I keep getting this message: 'macOs needs to repair your Library to run application. Type your password to allow this.' I google around a bit, but of course there is nothing about the last Apple Os. I already did a disk utility repair, which actually should also fix.

A requester appears asking the user to type their admin password to repair their local library, but thier password is rejected. This is a permissions error resulting from the user folder not having the correct ownership settings.

Step 1: Log in as a local or network admin

Log in to a known good account on the PC as an administrator. Open the local hard drive and then the Users folder. Highlight a problem account within the Users folder and Get Info (⌘+I).

Step 2: Give the user control of their files.

Click the lock and select the user that matches the problem account. (If you don't see their name, click the + and add them.) Give the user read & write permissions and Apply the change to enclosed items. You may also want to make them the owner of the files in their folder.

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.

  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.

  1. Make sure that you have a backup of your Mac, then erase your startup disk.

  4. If you made a Time Machine backup, use Migration Assistant to restore all your files from the backup.
