I have used Mac forever, it has always been a nice experience, no way an expert but I know some things to get me out of trouble.
My latest machine is driving me a little crazy all seemingly to be permission errors.
These seem to occur on my internal SSD, my external drives and even just in finder emptying the bin (seem to need a password to delete some files, create some folders in finder)
I have tried adjusting permissions and adding myself, on my internal HD SSD it shows me as not listed as a user? not sure if this is normal, I'm sure it always has before.
Finder seems to crash a bit when trying to change permissions on external drive also shows me as not a user, this drive kept giving me errors couldn't write in LR today. I eventually was able to ignore permissions and select all files within via the settings cog in get info.
This is a new hard drive, it was formatted via DISK Utility to Mac OS journaled. This isn't the first drive I have experienced this, Disk utility finds no trouble with the drive in first aid, can erase and reformat no problem.
I have seen finder be a bit buggy won't mount drives sometimes, couldn't change permissions crashing - reboot always seems to get things going again.
I also experience dot 36 when trying to copy any large files, had to buy CCCloner to do this (not sure its related)
I have set up a clean install already to try to fix this, have tried SMC rest (T2 reset) PRAM, followed a walkthrough on apple to reset permissions via terminal which I did.
really frustrating and not sure what else to try.
