Weird Message from Repairing Permissions

Had a new iMac for about a month.
For a lark I did a repair permsissions - mainly as a speed test.
I got a message that "CoreServices...as been changed. Unable to repair"
(Yes, "has" was mispelled)
Hovering over the line showed that the file in question was in Apple's Remote Desktop .App
I wouldn't necessarily care, but this screams security issue.
I have installed:
Rosetta
I partitioned with Boot Camp, but I have not used it yet.
The only non-Apple Apps are a driver for a USB sound interface
Adobe PhotoShop Elements
The older version (PPC)of Microsoft Office (2005?)
Quicken and Turbo Tax
Is this a common error?

There are numerous but innocuous messages reported by Disk Utility when repairing permissions. See the following: Mac OS X 10.5- Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.
These messages will occur each time you repair permissions, and they may be safely ignored.

    Hi,
    I was repairing the permissions on my MacBook Pro and during the repair I got the following message:
    ACL found but not expected on "private/var/root/Library/Preferences".

    Does anyone have any idea what this means? I have no idea. Thanks

  • Unable to subscribe to my podcast... weird message from iTunes. Ideas?

    Help. I am unable to subscribe to my podcast...weird message from iTunes saying that The item I requested is currently not available in US stores. This a a FREE podcast and it appears that way when I do a search for it. However, it does not appear in the category I put it in.
    When I go to Advanced and put in the URL manually it does work.... but that makes it difficult for viewers. I want them to see it in Podcasts>Arts & Entertainment>Photography and then be able to subscribe.
    What can I do now?

    Is your library located in the Pictures folder? See if you can do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database if necessary.
    Also to see if you've inadvertently installed some malware or adware download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

    I went into iMessage and a weird message from someone else's phone was on my phone saying it was from me

    Well the best thing you can do is call an apple specialist tomorrow because there closed today or talk straight up to the person that is currently hacking your apple ID. You can also change your password just try to login to apple id on a computer and say forgot password and it will lead you from there. Tell your family and Friends or who you were texting that thats not you.
    I really hope the hacker goes away! I also hope this answered you question But also what type of things aree they saying just to be clear

    It sounds like you used the 10.5.1 update using Software Update.
    Download the larger 110MB file of 10.5.1 directly from Apple and this will most likely take care of all but one SUID warning.

    The remaining warning is normal and will cause no problems.

  • Message after repairing permissions on MB wit Leopard

    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    This message came after I repaired permissions on MB with Leopard - any idea what it means and is it important or not - something to do with Remote Management which was selected at start up - can tis be deleted or removed and what is remote management anyway - I was not aware of it being in the Tiger OS version beofre I upgraded.
    Thanks
    RC

    It's normal. Other people are getting it too. Just disregard it for now.

  • Odd Messages While Repairing Permissions

    Had that annoying spinning beach ball today, so I used software update and then repaired permissions after. Never had a message like this before in all my mac years:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/lppaswd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    No other permissions were repaired.
    Um . . . HUH? I have two firewalls on this thing and have to approve even outgoing print jobs manually. I'd be surprised if I had anyone get n here, but anything is possible. I sync to mobileme and my iphone and ipod video. Have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but no other bluetooth devices. My wireless network is hidden and secured with a password. . .
    I'm the only user, the computer is only a few weeks old.
    Should I be worried? Should I be deleting something? Would love some thoughts and opinions!
    Thanks in advance!
    Sharon

    A commonly known situation. See Mac OS X 10.5- Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files.
    No, you need not be worried.

  • Weird Msg after repairing permissions

    hello
    I am on Lion OS,
    I repaired permissions and got the following message
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    What is it.? and do I fix it?

    You can safely ignore this message. It is accurate, but not a cause for any concern.

  • Warning message when repairing permissions

    I Just repaired permissions and the usual large list showed up. But this time I got a message that says:
    "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreService...ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    I navigated to that site and could not find a SUID file. Does anyone know what that stands for and could this be a problem?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Rich

    Thanks Macjack,
    I seemed to get that response after updating to 10.6.7 and my confusion is that when I go to Core Service Folder in the Library, I don't even see any SUID File at all? And this is the first time I have ever received a warning that a file has been modified and not repaired. Have you seen a warning like this before?

  • Obscure error message while repairing permissions

    OSX 10.6.3. While repairing permissions, I spotted this strange message: Warning. SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices..." has been modified and will not be repaired."
    Seems a little strange. I've done nothing exotic that would modify the system in such a way.
    Anyone have an idea what's gone wrong?

  • Message in Repairing Permissions

    Leopard 10.5.2, running Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. Got a message saying: "found ACL in library not expected" or something pretty close to that. Does anyone know what this might mean? I can't find anything in my Library that might give me a clue.
    Thanks for any insight.

    It's benign; ignore it.

  • Error message when Repair permissions

    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAge nt" has been modified and will not be repaired."
    This is the message I get when running Repair Permissions. What is it and how do I fix it. I thought the issues was with Office 2004 and removed that but it remains.

    That error is a result of the Remote Desktop software update.
    There are numerous threads in here about this already.

  • Warning Message when Repair Permissions

    When I "Repair Permissions" I get the following warning: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Does anyone know what this means?

    That means that a recent version of Apple Remote Desktop is installed. Ignore it and any of these other messages.
