I just upgraded to Lion (10.7.2) from 10.6.6. Everything seems to have gone smoothly, with one oddity; and I don't know if this is a "feature" or a hiccup.
The only account on this computer is mine, set as an administrator (there is also the Guest account that Lion creates). Whenever I move an item (folder, application) out of the Application or Utilities folder (which is inside the App folder) it moves to its destination as an alias only. When I move something into the folder I am asked to authenticate. I can Command-Delete to move something directly to the Trash with neither of the preceding taking place.
I did repair permissions after the Lion install, but did permissions on the Applications folder get messed up? Fix?
On a Mac since 1984. Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.
