For those eager types who have set their Macs to automatically download and install any new updates to Snow Leopard, we have a suggestion.

Some programs, like our i1Match program depend upon the computer knowing who has administrative rights, and which programs have full read and write settings. These settings can get changed during the update of the operating system, and it could cause i1Match to behave irregularly.

Every time you change the version of OS (going from 10.6 to 10.6.1 for example), Apple recommends, (and we highly agree) that you launch Disk Utility from the Apple Utilities folder, and repair your disk permissions on the boot hard disk (top line).

The designation of the top line will very likely read the size of the disk in GB, and then the drive manufacturer's name, and model number.
Select this line, and the repair disk permissions button will become active. Click the button, and pour yourself a cup of coffee. (time required indicated in the window is sometimes very optimistic)

Much of the infomation in this window will be unfamiliar to almost every Mac user, unless you are a programmer, but any text that shows up in the window indicates that a needed repair was done.

Now restart your Mac, and now your Applications will have been corrected for read and write permission.
