Upgrade StorageCannot install safari connector
Hi
I realize from searching that this is a problem that some people have, however I did not find a suitable thread to bring back to life so I am starting a new one. Sorry if I missed something and please if so, redirect me.
I am running OS X 10.9.1, Zotero standalone 4.0.17 and Safari 7.0.1. The connectors for firefox and chrome works like a charm, however I cannot install it for Safari on my mac book pro (13 inch, mid 2012, Core i5 2.5 ghz, 8gb RAM 1600 Mhz DDR3) . All I get is:
An error occurred while installing the extension "Zotero Connector"
There must be something slightly random to this since on my iMac I have more or less the exact same setup, yet I have a working Safari connector there.
I have tried deleting the cache and resetting Safari completely. Happy for pointers and input.
Cheers

As a matter of fact I did solve it. Sorry for not posting the solution. Here it comes:
First of all, you might want to check if you are able to install any form of safari extension. I realized I could not. Hence, I gathered that it is not a Zotero thing but rather a Safari/OS X thing. I then found a solution that includes resetting the properties for the home folder, as for whatever reason it had been changed. The steps below are reproduced from apples discussion forums (original poster Linc Davis) where you may find more information: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18990494#18990494
Anyway:
The procedure below will reset the permissions of a home folder in OS X 10.7.4 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the current version first. This procedure should not be used in OS X versions older than 10.7.4.
Back up all data.
Step 1
Click the Finder icon in the Dock. A Finder window will open.
Step 2
Press the following key combinations, in the order given:
Command-3
Shift-command-H
Command-I
The Info window of your home folder will open.
Step 3
Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Step 4
In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.
Step 5
By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others, and Personal Web Sharing won't work. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.
Step 6
If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups besides "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.
Step 7
Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.
