After rebooting I keep getting this message: 'macOs needs to repair your Library to run application. 'macOS needs to repair your library to run applications' 0 1 My wife's computer (a recent Mac Mini, still running Mojave) has gotten into an impossible state. Re: macOS needs to repair your library to run applications Jmalla 5:11 PM ( in response to wila ) Hi Wil - the issue is that the corrupted installation messed up and changed every folder and file under my user account to the root user. No amount of agreeing to this fixes the problem. Some users can log into the PC side of things fine, but when logging into an AD bound mac get this error: 'OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications'. Some users can log into windows and macs fine - correctly seeing all their files etc on both systems. In Terminal type resetpassword and click return. When your computer is turned on, go to Utilities and open Terminal. Restart your Mac and hold Command + R to enter into Recovery Mode.
I recently purchased a used iMac and it was working well until I decided to go ahead and start changing the admin name and eventually the 'home directory'. Help with 'os x needs to repair library to run applications'! Hey guys looking for some help with a major issue I'm having with my iMac.
