Quicktime Player Cannot Be Modified Or Deleted Because It’S Required By Os X How To Change Permissions

Try and create an Internet folder and move Safari and FaceTime in and you face a significant challenge.

Try to move one of these apps to the trash to uninstall it and youll get a message saying: Safari.app cant be modified or deleted because its required by Mac OS X.

This will result in permanent removal of the specified applications and could result in abnormal system behavior or improper functionality.

If you dont know exactly what youre doing and why, this is not recommended.

The following commands will only work when used in the Applications directory.

Just good old fashioned control of my data and vulnerabilities.

Now change the permissions for everyone to Read and Write instead of custom.

Once youve done that you can delete the file and empty your trash.

Hold down CMDR and power on your Mac to boot into Recovery Mode 2.

Once your Mac has rebooted you will now be able to Delete system apps, like the wonderful Game Centre, Reminders, Photo Booth apps 6.

Then Empty Trash If you dont and enable SIP you will need to disable SIP again to empty the Trash.

Skype works fine.

But in FaceTime, after a few minutes I get the same frames replaying over and over (audio is fine) and then the screen starts flickering and goes to all green.

After entering the password, I get a message: Operation not permitted.

Help. Thx.

Basically websites like edu.nightzookeeper.com no longer load but were fine and dandy with Safari 8.0.8.

They work now with Chrome and firefox using the same filtering system just not with Safari 9.x.x.

I simply want to revert back to 8.0.8 but cant without installing the whole OS.

Oh and Google docs and slides crash it tooNot great thinking Apple.

There isnt an easier way Like finding out how to change permissions in recovery mode Thank you for response either way:).

Do not attempt to delete apps or files you do not know their purpose of.

I went to delete chess and a few others but it returns as: READ ONLY how can I change permissions to get any of the apps to delete or directories I have looked everywhere for help and havent gotten an answer that works.

You need to delete your own user files, your own junk that has accumulated on your Mac.

Back up stuff to an external drive and delete the stuff from your internal hard drive.

Apple has some kind of super secret decoder ring thing going on that inhibits rm on the base applications.

If you are a power user, it is a very distracting eyesore every time you open it.

Most everything can be nicely organized into subfolders under the Applications folder.

You can even create an Applications folder or similar under your Home folder and have apps there, nicely organized and neatly displayed.
