Can't run unity 2.6.1 on mac os x 10.6.3

Question

I always get this error: "can't set permissions" when I try to open a project I created or when I try to open the island demo project. And then unity dies.

My filesystems is Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive, journaled). Is the filesystem the problem?

Probably. I would suggest not using case-sensitive for general usage because it's not all that uncommon to find apps that won't work with it (small stuff like Adobe CS4...).

A case-sensitive filesystem? I can't even imagine the problems that would cause... yes, I agree, this is most likely your problem.

That was it. Switched the disk to $$anonymous$$ac OS Extended (Journaled). Unity 2.6.1 works fine now. Thanks.

Trying moving the Unity projects folder (/Users/Shared/Unity/) to another location (preferably another disk), then restarting Unity.

It should then ask you to open a project, from which you can select the new location, or start a new project.

Did you not read the comments? This issue has been fixed. He was using a case-sensitive filesystem.
