On rare occasions the database gets locked by the file system, and doesn’t unlock normally. Try this: With MacGourmet not running… 1. Select your MacGourmetDatabase file in Documents and choose Get Info. 2. In the window that is displayed, look at Ownership & Permissions and make sure “You can” says Read & Write 3. If it already does, then with the MacGourmetDatabase file still selected, right-click, or control-click on the file and choose “Show package contents” which will open a window. Now, select the MacGourmet.mgdb file and choose Get Info, and make sure “You can” says Read & Write for that as well.
