Can't repair permissions with Install Disk

My install disk is not recognized by Leopard, which I installed like two months ago and kept up to date on regular basis. I have repaired permissions on various occasions already, but out of the blue, today the disk is ejected with no explanation at all. I tried the disk on another Mac, and it works flawless.
I repaired permissions from the other machine and tried to use the DVD again in my MacBook Pro and again the problem arrises.
Can this be related to the last firmware update?
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.

Thanks for your prompt response. Unfortunately, PRAM zap didn't solve the problem, and I watched the hole Bourne Ultimatum film 20 minutes ago....
Luckily the DVD player seems to work with CD's, and DVD's
Still fishing for a trick to end this problem.

  • Repair permissions with disk utility

    I have tried all the suggestions about permissions repair and have recently reinstalled the combo upgrade to x.5.2 twice. I am still unable to repair permissions with the disk utility. It stalls at one minute for 20 minutes and completes after at least an hour repeating the usual messages, as reported in other posts,

    Another possibility... the first time I ran Disk Utility after the upgrade it ran easily for an hour before finishing. Now it takes a few minutes, with the usual "ACL found not found" garbage.
    Try leaving your computer on overnight. Most of the Cocktail functions replicate the standard Mac clean up functions that occur in the early hours of the morning. The next day, restart, run Disk Utility - Verify. If that comes up clean, try Permissions again. Let it run until it finishes even if that is well over an hour. BTW... make sure that your machine is updated to 10.5.2, disconnect any external drives, USB or Firewire devices and make sure that there are no programs open. You may even have to check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items to see if something is running in the background that can be temporarily turned off.

  • Can't repair Permissions 10.3.8

    Hi,
    Just recently got the message: "Disk Utility lost connection with Disk Management tool...Quit and restart Utility..", while repairing permissions.
    Tried that, no luck--so I can't repair permissions. Ran Disk Warrior and TechTool with no problems. Still, Disk Utility shuts down.
    My finder, except for the time/day and stuff in the top right, now takes forever to launch. The disk tests fine, but is nearly (2.5G of 30 remaining) full.
    Any ideas?
    OS 10.3.8
    PowerMac G4 Dual 450, upgraded w/ dual 1.2 Powerlogix
    1.5G RAM
    OSX, OS9 internal 30G boot drives
    ATI Radeon 9000, dual monitors
    Thanks, MR

    Brian,
    Sorry for not reading before posting. I'll follow your post at the top of the board.
    Thanks,

  • I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13

    After installing iTunes update 11.1, I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13. When I attempt to repair Disk Permissions, there appear dozens of items showing that "Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app....", then it says that it has been repaired. However, when I do a second or third repair immediately afterwards, I see the same thing again.
    About my mac:
    Thanks for any help.

  • Repair Permissions with/without Tiger disk?

    I was wondering what the best way is to repair permissions. Should one repair them booting off the Tiger disk or can one just open disk utility and repair the permissions while running on their hard drive?
    Also, my new iMac came with two disks. I also have a Tiger disk from when I purchased Tiger for my PowerBook. If it is necessary to repair permissions from the disk, which disk should I use? Can I use the Tiger disk or should I use one of the disks that came with my iMac?
    Thanks!

    Regarding your first question, it makes no difference so there isn't any need to boot from the install disc to repair disk permissions.
    Regarding your second question, the same applies but you should use the Tiger install package that shipped with your new iMac to run repair disk via Disk First Aid when booted from the iMac's install disc on your iMac's boot volume which is much more important than repairing disk permissions.
    The Tiger retail install package is not Universal - it is for a Mac with a PPC processor only and your new iMac has an Intel processor.

  • Disk Utility Can't Repair Permissions - A different one

    I'm posting this separately from the previous thread I saw somewhere, because my situation is a little different.
    I did the software updates on my G4 15" Aluminum this morning: Battery thing, iTunes, QuickTime and Safari. Security Update? FUGGETTABOUT. Went through THAT nightmare weeks ago.
    Anyways: I can't repair permissions any way at all: not in Disk Utility, not in ONYX, and Not from Disk Utility from the Boot CD.
    MY error reads:
    "Disk Utility Internal Error: Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility"
    When I do THAT, I get the ever-so-encouraging warning, essentially telling me that I've been given a bum steer in the previous alert: "Operations Still in Progress. Disk Utility still has some operations in progress. Quitting in the middle of some operations can leave a disk non-operational. Are you sure you want to quit?"
    Other details: Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair from the boot CD and it was claimed that the disk was repaired and ok. Zapped the PRAM. Other problems are that Keychain Access just freezes when I ask to see a password. Never gets to the point of even asking for my administrative password.
    Originally, too, just as when I had problems with the Security Update, I couldn't join my Airport Network, but for no apparent reason, after a couple of reboots after zapping the PRAM, I managed to connect.
    This is the second time in less than a month that a machine which has always operated flawlessly has gone south after downloading Software Updates from Apple in good faith. I hardly think I should be expected to purchase third-party disk utilities to fix this myself.

    Thank you, JRSY Man SO much. Just for the sake of anyone seeing THIS forum, go to the one JRSY MAN linked in the second post of this thread. There are about a hundred posts from people with this problem, and a lot of hair-pulling, but someone has come up with a temporary solution, and it finally worked for me.
    There is an incompatibility in the stupid iTunes update, that creates all kinds of havoc.
    Thanks again.

  • When i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

  • Why don't I see the log when I repair permissions with Disk Utility

    I'm having issues with Safari hanging or bogging down to a snail's pace lately. I have tried several times to repair permissions with Disk Utility. It runs for several minutes, but shows nothing in the log even though the box is checked to show details. I've never seen this before. I don't know if Disk Utility is doing it's job or not....
    Any thoughts?

    If the progress bar goes to the end, then you don't have any permissions needing repair. The fact that Safari is slowing down has nothing really to do with permissions.

  • Can't repair permissions

    Any ideas why I can't repair permissions? I've installed 10.5 on my 12" 1.33ghz Powerbook and since installing I haven't been able to repair permissions. I'm trying to use disk utility without having to reboot. It will start but it just spins for ever. It never does anything. Doesn't show progress and it never stops.

    I had the same problem. But I was stupid enough to hit the powerbutton when i thought my computer froze..
    The consequence was that when my mac restarted, and my keyboard didnt work anymore, except for the num-lock option, so i could type numbers..
    I dont know very much about computers, but i can tell you that repair permission doesnt work like it ought to. I had to do a leopard clean install after that and I haven't tried the repair permission after that.
    Think we'll have to wait untill apple comes with an update..

  • Repairing Permissions With DU -Vs- MainMenu

    Hello,
    I was curios does it matter if I repair permissions with disk Utility versus repairing them with Main Menu Pro version? Also will it hurt doing system maintenance using Main Menu. I know Main Menu is 3rd party, but I think it has been around long enough to be trusted. I've used it on my iMac 2008 without issue, but don't want to take any chances with this new MBP.
    Jaco

    All maintenance applications use the same programs as Disk Utility so it wouldn't make any difference. But you can perform all the needed maintenance that the third-party software does just a few specific utilities.
    There isn't that much maintenance required. Disk Utility can repair permissions (something you should rarely if ever need to do) as well as repair the hard drive. For the rest of it you can install the freeware, Applejack - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    For the occasional time when a hard drive has a problem DU cannot fix use Disk Warrior. And, to clean caches if needed use Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner.
    Also, see:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    ynchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • Can't rip CD, can't repair permissions, help!

    I moved my itunes music library to an external firewire hard drive because my main hard drive was getting too full. Now, I cannot rip music from a CD to the hard drive because I don't have the right "permissions". Nor can I rip to my main hard drive and copy to the external. I tried to repair permissions with disk utility, but it doesn't give me that option for the external drive.
    I'm not sure how to work around this problem, can somebody help?

    OK, yes this probably would be a good topic to post in the forum relevant to your computer hardware. I have 3 internal hard drives at the moment, and am getting ready to add a 4th, so this is pretty familiar territory. If you have the manual that came with the computer (you can download it from Apple's site if you don't) you should find the right information on drive locations and jumper settings, etc. As long as you get that stuff right, you should easily be able to boot from the current (soon-to-be "old") drive or from your OS X install disc and use Disk Utility to restore the current boot volume to the new drive (or partition/volume on that drive). At that point you can set your Startup Disk preferences so that the computer boots by default from the OS X volume on the new hard drive.
    With three high-capacity drives in your computer, you'll have lots of options. I personally don't keep any media files at all on my boot drive, just to keep things on that volume as simple as possible. The other two drives contain copies of my various media libraries, and this works very well for my purposes.

    You can try DiskWarrior (about $100).
    If that doesn't work, and if you have no backups at all, you might need to send your hard drive to Drive Savers or a similar service. It will cost a lot of money to get the data back, I'm sorry to say.

  • Finder is freezing and Can't repair permissions

    I've been exporting some FCP files and when I go to finder and choose APPLE-I to get info on the files, the finder freezes and spins. When I try to force quit, finder is not responding.
    I tried using my install disk to run repair permissions, thinking that might help but am unable to select repair permissions (it's grey), I can repair disk.
    Not sure if the issues are related, but would love to solve them.
    Thanks.

    You can't repair permissions on a data volume. It has to have a bootable OS X installation on it. As for the SBBOD, see http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html

  • External HDD locked, can't repair permissions or create folder at root

    After having to do an archive and install as mac mini stuck in start-up, start-up not finished, start start-up again loop I am experiencing bizarre problem. Spend 3 days on this and now just 2 hours with Apple Support. Since the archive and install the 3 partitions of my external HDD all have a padlock on them. Tried many things including checking permissions from install disk or from usual start-up disk and even logged in as root user. At the root level it is not possible to create a new folder or trash items or to move anything to this level. At lower directory levels you can. Clicking on Get info for each partition shows the same thing. It says just above the name box that I can read only, yet by my name says I can read and write. However, selecting anything other than read and write does not stick, it ignores the request. At the sub directory level it says my privileges are custom. Logged in as a root user, I tried to move something to the root level of the HDD. It asked me to authenticate but even after doing that said I had insufficient privileges!
    Please someone help. Apple support has had to escalate now. Their comment was "I've never heard of such a sever issue with permissions."
    In the mean time I have limited control over my external HDD.
    thanks
    D

    Hopefully you can help me out here as well V.K.
    I had to reformat my Mac and now can only read my external drive. I have tried everything. Here is the response I get to running:
    sudo chflags nouchg /My Book II
    chflags: /Volumes/My Book II: Read-only file system.
    I can read files, but when I try to delete them I get a error -67 code.I also cannot write to my external.
    Thanks
