the bug in the early iTunes updater that wiped out whole hard drives for some people), it would be the first one of this nature in several years. If you truly need wide-open permissions, that would seem to be an enormous bug on Apple's part, and while it wouldn't be the first time such a bug has made it into the wild (cf.

So, with that Unix arcana out of the way, back to the original proposal: is it *really* necessary to give wide-open permissions on *everything* in your iPhoto library to make the conversion to '11 work properly, or is it sufficient for the user to have full access? I suspect the safer permissions setting would be "664" permissions, or even "664", where the "6" means that the user (and maybe the group) has read/write access, the "4" means that others (and maybe the group) just has read-only access, and nobody has execute access. Or it might not, I haven't tried monkeying with it to find out, but there is that risk. In at least some cases, Apple uses custom ACLs to enforce "magic" behavior for certain files & folders, and it may be the case that deleting this information could have adverse effects with the iPhoto library. Stripping out the ACLs may or may not be overkill.You may regret that level of trust later.

You want to give full read/write (and execute) permission to everyone? Surely it should be sufficient to just set this for the owner, and maaaaybe the group, but not everyone else, right? This may be splitting hairs, as the vast majority of Mac users have a single user account on the computer anyway, but if you have multiple users and, hypothetically, you do not 100% trust each other, then you're making it possible for any other user on the computer to access, modify, and delete anything in your iPhoto library.Possibly harmless, but I can't see why it would be useful, and I can see scenarios where it would end up being a bad idea.

This will set the photo library permissions so iPhoto 11 can do the necessary database upgrade without harm.

While awaiting an official fix or advice from Apple, I have posted an easy, safe fix on my web site. Repairing permissions in Disk Utility won't help because that doesn't affect user files, only installed programs with Receipts. The root of the problem lies in faulty permissions within the iPhoto Library. Even more, some of the 'successful' upgraders are not even aware that they, might too, lost some files! A possible bug in the upgrade process by iLife 11 causes a loss in one's library.
