I can fix them manually but its ridiculous half are correct and half arn't and im not going to go through 1Tb of files...

How do I fix this on a system wide basis!?

You can set permission to be ignored on a whole (non-system) volume.

Right click on the drive in Finder > 'Get Info'. Under 'Sharing and Permissions', tick 'Ignore ownership on this volume'.

Be aware that this can cause some software to fail if specific permissions are required by it.
