Airport Not connecting untill I repair Disc Permissions

Out of the blue, this morning my PC does not want to connect to my Belkin Wireless Router when I switch on. This has never been a problem up until this morning. It sees the network but cannot connect (exclamation mark). I repair permissions and it connects as it starts to run...every time!.
Shut down the computer and I have to do the same. There seems to be a lot of permissions being repaired, all iTunes as far as I can see. But the repair is not holding and every time I reboot, I have to do the same again.
iMac 27" 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, 12Gb RAM (1333MHz DDR3), running 10.8.5 OS X, all software up to date.

Do SMC reset if you haven't already. Since upgrading to 10.8.5 OS.

Then you can try some of the tricks suggested by Tesserax but if it extends to other permissions like iTunes then maybe there is a more major fault.

Not repairing Disc permissions

When I run Disc Utility, select the HD listed and run "repair disc permission" it goes through the process and list all the errors and repairs. When I go back and run it again, all the errors and repairs happen all over again, I shut down, restart and run " repair disc permissions" again and the errors and repairs are still there. I do not have a OS-X 10.6 disc to run "repair disc"
Any idea why are these errors are not repaired? I have not had a problem repairing permissions until lately.
Thanks

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
Repair User Permissions

An old macbook running 10.6.8 was restored using Time Machine then Snow Leopard was reinstalled and updated to 10.6.8. Now the machine is slow and repair disc permissions results in a cancelled by user message.

Our old macbook was getting a gray screen with flashing ? on bootup. Eventually I restored it using Time Machine then decided to reinstall Snow Leopard since it would not boot. Machine now boots but is slow. Ran repair disc and tried to run repair disc permissions but got a message that it was cancelled by user.
This machine is at least 6 years old and I just want to limp it along until I can afford to replace it in the spring.

You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS. I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before. I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure. Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

Repair disc permissions always finds files to repair

I've been repeatedly running repair disc permissions via disc utility, as my MacBook Pro has become extremely slow. Every time I run the repair button the program will find 'problem' files to repair.
When I select the verify options it will not find conflicts.
Will there always be conflicts the program finds?
Incidentally, the slowness started when I upgraded to 10.5.x. And my new (aftermarket) battery gets extremely hot and won't hold a charge for long (despite priming numerous times).

Hi,
according to this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 they will be always there and can safely be ignored.

Repairing disc permissions

I frequently repair disc permissions on my three apple computers running the latest updated version of Tiger. Today, when I went to repair permissions on each computer, I noticed a large amount of permission repairs, and all the
same ones on all three computers. After the repairs were made, and I ran permission repairs again, all the same problems showed up gain. Usually, one sees a clean slate when running repairs after it has just been done. This has occured on all three computers. I have never seen this before. I have have a G5 dual tower, a G4 powerbook 12", and a G4 powermac tower. Any ideas???
THanks

What you are seeing is normal and nothing to concern yourself with. You will see thesame messages each time you run the disk permissions utility. I used to have a link to an explanation of this but with the forum changes I can't seem to locate it. The bottom line is that it is nothing to worry about, it is just informational and not an indication of a problem,

Running Repair Disc Permissions

When running Repair Disc Permissions in Safe Mode I get dozens of lines saying : Permissions Differ on Library/Printers/Epson......... and the next line will say: Repaired "Library/Printers?Epson....... then on to the next line and on and on. It says the permissions are repaired but if I run another Permission Repair immediately, the same Details show and are repeated each time. Most of the lines refer to Epson Printers but not all. They are all Library permissions. I do not have an Epson printer and I have never had an Epson printer hooked up? Why do these seem to not get repaired even though it easy they are?

I'm here because I'm seeing this same thing (along with "Warning: SUID file....has been modified and will not be repaired").
Lately I have begun to experience some annoying performance issues with my (late 2013) MBP that I have not had before (freezes-up, slower-than-usual operation, etc.). I'm running Disc Utility more often and nothing seems to help.
Is there anything more that I can do; any other diagnostic software that I can install to see what might be going on? At one point, I had very little hard-disc space free, so I've deleted a bunch of stuff and now have more than enough free space. I'd hoped this would take care of the problems, but it's still acting up.
It figures that just when I've been bragging about how great my MBP is - how I never have trouble with it - and have been doing my best to talk my husband and a friend of ours into replacing their old, worn-out PCs with MBPs, I start having trouble with mine.
Almost as if it's trying to tell me something???
Thanks!

I am trying to change the order of one of my audiobooks (media kind: audiobook), but the ID tags are greyed out. I can't change tags for almost all my audiobooks. Music files OK. Files are all read/write. Repaired disc perms. OS 10.9.4. ITunes11.4

Repair Disc Permissions must run before I can open apps

Hi- I've been having a recurring problem over the last week: that an application suddenly won't open. After I've been to Disc Utility and run Repair Disc Permissions, it opens again....... and then perhaps a few hours later I have exactly the same problem and go through the same procedure !
Something must be wrong .................... but what ?
I've been surfing and looked at various apps for System Maintenenance and then found an extensive article in this forum which explained that normally, no extra maintenance is necessary.
So now I'm confused. And help to clarify matters would be much appreciated !
SeaDream

Wow- that was interesting reading ! Yes- I've been using Mozy for about a year, and a couple of days ago, noticed that the icon had disapeared. As I installed SuperDuper last week, I'll unclick it !
Thanks for the tip, Kay.

Airport not connecting

Having a problem with my airport, cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. It is not a distance problem as a laptop sitting right next to it registers three out of five bars and works perfectly. Been having this problem for several months, at first the connection was just dropping off and not working on occasion but every softwear update since then seems to have made it worse and worse. Now my internet does not work at all although it seems to pick up the signal but not connect. Any help fixing this would be appreciated, have tried a number of fixes and been through every used every help tool for connection issues available in the network preferences menu. I have several other issues with this mac however I use it for work and cannot afford for it to be away for repair at the moment. My other issues include dead pixels, optical eye doesn't work (cannot read any type of disc, DVD, softwear disc, CD you name it) And some form of leakage on the top left hand side of the screen that cases a shadow on the display. Has anyone else had problems like this? I love this mac like a baby so its not a chase of rough handling or not looking after it properly. This is my first mac and I can honestly say I am very disappointed by the quality of the product after all the good things I've heard about apple.

hi,
your problem is not with the airport, it is how you have configured it,you need to check system pref. and make sure you eleminate all security first, you can do this also in the internet connection app as well, this sounds like a firewall issue/

Superdrive replacement not working? Try "repair disk permissions"

Like many other folks, the superdrive in my iMac 7,1 died. I ordered a replacement from Powerbookmedic and installed it following ifixit's guides. Upon booting the iMac I found that the SuperDrive would accept a disc and the iMac saw the SuperDrive but OS X wouldn't recognize any disc I put in the drive and after trying to read it would eject it. After trying various things, I found that other users on my iMac were able to use the new drive just fine, it just wasn't working for me.
I tried various fixes but in the end "repair disk permissions" under disk utility did the trick. Posting here in the hopes of helping others. Joel

I cant access any of the files on the hard drive to back up. Do you know of a link on how to format and reinstall. It would be my first time. I have diskwarrior and it will not load at all.

Repairing Disc Permissions gets stuck

Hi, I have only just started using 'Repair disk permissions' recently not being aware that I needed to do that after downloading upgrades of programs. I've tried running it on my hard drive a few times and it gets stuck each time. I have to force it to stop, which then asks me for my system password, but it then says 'Permissions Repair Complete'. I've even left it running for over an hour and the same thing happened. Has it worked? Why do I need to cancel it to get it to stop?

Do you have the install discs (or Tiger discs, if your computer didn't come with Tiger) for the machine? If so, try doing repair permissions from the disc to see if that works OK.

Repairing disc permissions and ACL...

When I repair my disc permissions, the software takes much longer than in previous OSX's and I routinely get "ACL found but not expected in "Library."
Anyone know what this means?

You can not think that Leopard repair and verify permissions would react as Tiger's. Two vastly different OS.
The speed will take longer using Leopard and depends upon what Mac you are using. My Mac Pro takes about 3.5 minutes. My Powerbook takes about 8 mins.
ACL just ignore that dialogue. This is an old posted issue that does not merit any investigate.
In computer security, an Access Control List (ACL) is a list of permissions attached to an object. The list specifies who or what is allowed to access the object and what operations are allowed to be performed on the object. In a typical ACL, each entry in the list specifies a subject and an operation: for example, the entry (Alice, delete) on the ACL for file XYZ gives Alice permission to delete file XYZ.
