Type “sudo chown -R yourusername” (replace yourusername with the username on your Mac), press the space bar, drag your iPhoto library file from the Finder to the Terminal window, and press return.<\/p>\n

sudo chmod -R -N<\/p>\n
sudo chmod -R u+rwX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
