Try running Repair Permissions.
To use: open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
Click on the icon for your boot volume.
Click the repair permissions button.
Don't run from CD as updates have a newer version of Repair Permissions.
Run Repair Permissions from the volume being repaired. Disk Utility uses
receipt files from the disk on which it is running (not necessarily the same
as the disk it is "repairing") in order to set the "correct" permissions. If
you run Disk Utility from a CD, it will use the receipt files on the CD (if
any) to determine what the "correct" permissions should be. This could mean
incorrect "repairs."
In short: Disk First Aid should always be run from CD (or by using fsck at
startup in single-user mode), whereas Repair Permissions should always be
run from the volume being repaired. The exception to the latter being if a
permissions problem is preventing startup. In that case, boot off of the CD
and run Repair Permissions, but if doing so, allows you to boot up again,
make sure you re-run Repair Permissions from your OS X volume afterwards.
