Check and repair authorisations

This utility program does not work since on 10.5.2.
Never finishes afetr hours and hours.
What is the solution to run this checking and repair.
Thanks
Marc

In Leopard (10.5) it does take a long time to repair permissions (authorizations). It should complete well short of an hour, though. Have you tried just letting it run overnight?
If you search these forums for "Repair permissions doesn't finish", you'll find quite a few entries. I didn't look through them, but you may find some help.

HT4736 Taking too long (2 minutes) to locate and download photos into Photo '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD). I checked and repaired HD permissions. Any ideas?

Regarding iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD). I am dealing with iPhoto taking too long to download photos. Specifically, I rechecked and repaired HD permissions. I am running the most current software my five year old Intel MacBook Pro can run. What happens is that when I connect an external SD card, or my iPhone, the new version of iPhoto takes up to two full minutes to fully acknowledge the device. Then locate new photos and be ready to download them to my external HD. I am kind of concerned about this. This has never happened before.
I take 20,000 photos a year. I really don't want to lose any. Or is there something I am doing wrong? Or need to be aware of? Any experienced suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Have a great day.
PS.... The cameras I use are Canon SX-30, Nikon D3100, and my iPhone 4S. Thanks again for your assistance.

Hello Old Toad.... Those sound like great ideas.
I thought I checked and repaired disk permissions on my main boot HD. That boot disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Capacity 749.3 GB. Available 562.53 GB. BUT.... now that I think of it.... the Seagate external HD with USB2 interface is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Capacity 639.79 GB, Available 36.2 GB with my latest iPhoto Library 517.37 GB that was already scanned & updated to be read by the latest iPhoto version.
I'll try your suggestions tonight as far as double checking 'permissions' and setting up a tiny test library.
Or maybe it's time to fill up another External HD?
I appreciate your and anyone else's suggestions to try.
Have a great day. ~~ David in Rochester NY

Microsoft Office 2008 and repairs

My sister lent me her copy of Office 08 to load, it worked fine for a few months, now no apps opens accept Word. I did a disk utility repair permissions. No difference, and then I discovered the disk utility was damaged and wouldn't open, so I re installed it from my Tiger disc, the D.U opened fine. But I am really puzzled as to why something used work fine and I now does not work. There is no message to say what the error is, it just attempts to open, the colour wheel wizzes and it just says in the finder 'not repsonding' in red. To which I have to force quit.
My sister has lost the original Office disc, her daughter got hold of it and lost it, and so we are using copies we made as back ups or off our external drives. My other niece had a copy and her Tiger macbook is still fine with Office 08. (but she had to have a new hard drive 7 months ago after a big crash after 9 months).
Any ideas why this might have happened? I don't want to risk reinstalling my Tiger disc. Maybe I should take it to Cancom where I bought it?

Hi Vanessa,
Sounds like Disk Corruption, in which case you don't want to do anything with it, not even Repair Permissions until you fix it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

Disk Utility can't "Verify Disk Permission" and "Repair Disk Permission"

I booted up the Leopard 10.5.5 server from the Install Disc, and tried to do disk checks on all drives using Disk Utility.
When the system drive was selected all the "Verify Disk", "Repair Disk", "Verify Disk Permission" and "Repair Disk Permission" functions are able to perform, however, if the non-system drives are selected only "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" are able to perform, the "Verify Disk Permission" and "Repair Disk Permission" are GRAYED OUT ! and UNABLE TO perform the permission check and repair!! Any idea ?

Hi, I'm having a problem could be related. I've a 3 years old Xserve (not intel) with 3 HD managed by the apple original RAID board, all that running Mac OS X 10.4.
I remotely manage the server from my mac running OS 10.5.6 and Server Admin 10.5.3.
Well, I simply cannot propagate permissions because when I do it, Server Admin freezes and i must force it to quit. Obviously, privileges are not propagated.
All that di NOT happen 1 month ago when i was "happily" running Mac OS X 10.3.x and Server Admin 10.3.x. Upgrading has been a big boomerang.
Any idea? Thanks

Can I use an OS X.3.x disk to test and repair a drive with OS X.2.x on it?

Can I use an OS X.3.x disk to test and repair a drive with OS X.2.x on it?
    I've recently got a used iMac G4 1GHz with X.2.x on it. I'd like to test and repair the HD on it, but It didn't come with any OS CDs.
    I have X.3.x install DVDs for an eMac. Can I boot the eMac OS 10.3.x disk from the iMac G4 and use it's Disk Utilities to check and repair the HD on the G4? I would be using an X.3.x disk to check the X.2.x drive.
Thanks for any info.

Thanks Niel for the info.
    Not sure what (64877) is. That number just gives this thread in the results, when I put it in the search box here.
    Anyway; after reading your reply, I did a yahoo search and found these pages confirming what you posted.
"Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
"Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup"
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1884
    I did the Safe Boot and it didn't take long at all, but then I don't have too much on the drive.
    After it booted I noticed the sound was not working, but one page did explain that not everything gets loaded in a Safe Boot. So after a restart, things seem to be working fine.
Thanks again for your answer.

How to debug a authority check in program and a authorisation object in tco

Can anyone tell me how to debug a authority check in program and a authorisation object in tcode
i just want to know the flow of authorisation object in debugging how user is assocaited with authorisation object and roles.
i know if sy-subrc ne 0 is authorisation failed ,so please help me anyone on this.
every time when i put breakpoint ,if its program level only, i am able to decide only through sy-subrc but iam unable o view the flow .

flow cannot be seen, we have to be based on sy-subrc only...
you cannot see the flow in read table... describe table... transfer...
the authorization object will be assigned to the data element, that data element has some realtion to the roles given to the users. So if the role of the user and data element value doesnt match the sy-subrc NE 0.

BI AUTHORISATION - Aggregation Check and Aggregation Authorization

Hi all,
The Aggregation Check and Aggregation Authorization in BI Analysis AUTHORISATION? I want to know why is it when I take the ( out of my 0EMPLOYEE

im kind of understood what it means, but not aware of why when i add and remove its behaving like this?
thanks everyone.

Hi there again,
Then you can try this:
Pickup a query as an example. That query is build over lets say infoProvider A.
Than you go to transaction RSECADMIN and create a ZDUMMY authorization. You give a description. Then you click on the InfoProvider button and insert the name A and click enter. Mark all characteristics but don't mark the options of : values neither the * values.
You'll see several characteristics added to your new authorization but with no values. Now double click each one and assign the values you want the test user to access.
Afterwards click on the special charact. button at the left of the InfoProvider button. Now, three new characteristics are added:
0TCAACTVT
0TCAIPROV
0TCAVALID
And values are automatically assigned to them. They can be left like that, they will be OK. 0TCAACTVT represents activity and can have the value 03, of display of the values; 0TCAIPROV represents InfoProvider and by default those authorization values will be for every InfoProvider, if you want you can change it from * to the value A, in this case, your InfoProvider A; 0TCAVALID can be *, which is valid for ever.
After that save the authorization and assign it to the test user.
Now test it, and you'll see only the values that you assign before in your ZDUMMY authorization will be valid for that query.

Windows is Scanning and repairing drive... (- Errors in Event Viewer)

Long post, please be patient... :)
I have a fairly new (purchased 8/2013) Lenovo ThinkPad T431s with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (updated from 8.0 -> 8.1). It has a very tricky error coming basically 8 / 10 boots:
Windows is Scanning and repairing drive...
Error details from Windows Event Viewer (a new similar error appears on every boot to event viewer):
A corruption was discovered in the file system structure on volume \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984}.
A file on the volume is no longer reachable from its parent directory. The parent file reference number is 0x2000000000002. The name of the parent directory is "". The parent index attribute is ":$I30:$INDEX_ALLOCATION". The file reference
number of the file that needs to be reconnected is 0x400000003db80. There may be additional files on the volume that also need to be reconnected to this parent directory.
What has been done 1st trying to fix that:
SSD disk has been changed (image from previous SSD copied back) ->
no solution, error remains
chkdsk /F /R -> no solution, error remains
SFC /scannow -> no solution, error remains
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth -> no solution, error remains after a few boots
TRIED using Windows 8.1 "Update & Recovery -> Refresh Your PC without affecting your files" -> Inserted the Lenovo "Operating System Recovery Disk Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation 3.0 Required)" BUT Windows did not accept
that DVD claiming "The media inserted is not valid"... ???
Ended up calling Lenovo Support and they instructed me to order the Recovery DVD from
Lenovorecovery.com -> Unfortunatelly Windows does not recognice the DVD(s)...
mountvol returns:
\\?\Volume{4d337687-0033-42f7-8a8e-b6968b533cb3}\

*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***
\\?\Volume{33f0062f-0aff-4fd2-8402-1c7911d86897}\

Then running fsutil dirty query on each returns:

Volume - \\?\Volume{e010cf9d-c04d-4c82-b517-3cda1b647fe7} is NOT Dirty

Volume - \\?\Volume{33f0062f-0aff-4fd2-8402-1c7911d86897} is NOT Dirty
The chkdsk on the dirty volume
\\?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984}\ returned:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or

Partition 4 Primary 146 GB 1389 MB
Partition 5 Recovery 350 MB 147 GB
Partition 6 Recovery 19 GB 148 GB
Questions:
1) Are my Partitions OK, haven't "touched" anything?
2) Excluded the dirty volume from boot checking with chkntfs /x
-> still the Error appears in Event viewer log (but Scanning is skipped/not shown anymore during the boot).
What is causing the error?
3) Why do I have three (3) recovery partitions?

What has happened in the past days:
A) Lenovo on-site-Support changed the motherboard -> had no impact on the error (which I expected).
B) I found
instructions how to manually create USB Flash stick with a booting Custom (OEM) Recovery Image.
C) Booted with USB and performed "Refresh your PC without affecting your files."
D) Windows was refreshed but...
-->>
Still the error remains (Windows scanning and repairing drive \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} on each and every boot.
1) Related Error in Event viewer (NTFS):

Now Lenovo support is proposing a full re-install (to be performed by myself) of Windows as this is SW issue.
Summary:
- Refreshing my T431s with OEM Image does not help
- The error remains on \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} (\Device\HarddiskVolume5; Lenovo Recovery partition) OR at least Windows thinks so...

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

Verifying and Repairing Permissions on Mac OS X 10.5 giving many errors

I am having a problem with verifying and repairing my permissions. I first noticed this yesterday and thought it was some kind of application conflict so I wiped my HDD via zero data and reinstalled OS 10.5 then upgraded to OS 10.5.1. Without installing any applications other than those that were installed via the CD and the update, I rechecked my "Repair Permissions" and got the following:

Macintosh HD can't be mounted, keys out of order and repairing can't be completed

Hi,
English isn't my mother tongue so I'll make my best to be understood.
I have a Macbook Pro from 2012, running on Yosemite (latest version). I installed Onyx which told me my disk needed to be verified and repaired. Following this advice, I restarted my computer with Disk Utility and completed a verifying and repairing. Which led to a terrible outcome. Since then, everytime I boot with my user on my Mac, my computer shuts down in the middle of the progress bar. I tried to find an explanation to it and fix it, so I tried the following things:
1) I booted with CMD + R to go into Disk Utility
2) I runned a verify Disk on "Macintosh HD" Core Storage Logical Volume Disk, which didn't give me any error
3) I unlocked "Macintosh HD" Mounted encrypted partition and runned a verify disk, which says :
"Keys out of order
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
File system check exit code is 8.
Error : the disk needs to be repaired, Repair disk."
4) Unfortunately, the "repair disk" button is grayed.
5) So I runned repair Disk on "Macintosh HD" Core Storage Logical Volume Disk, which didn't give me any error.
6) I tried to boot my computer again but it still shuts down when trying to open my user.
7) Did all the same process again, but now the error is "Keys length incorrect" and repairing is now always blocked in the middle of the progress bar.
Is there any way I could extract the data I care about (photos, etc.) before erasing the disk or buying a new one?

There's hardware and software.
Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes). The directory that keep track of files is corrupt. Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue. In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that. You have to boot from another drive. Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case. Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption. You can try erasing (formatting) the drive, You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues. I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation). This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data. If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format. Then you know you need a new drive.

Hi Jeffrey
The startup drive can only be repaired from another drive. You have to boot from the install disk.
To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart, then hold down the C key until you hear the chime.
This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to First Aid and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
Select the start up drive, then you click on Repair Disk .
If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
Then run Repair Permissions.
After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.

Disc Utility and Repairing Disk

First off: What is the difference between repairing permissions and repairing the disk? I assume permissions has to deal with key chains and repairing the disk?

anyone have any suggestions? Everything has been working pretty normaly. I had started a thread a few weeks ago about my lacie external HD. It hasn't mounted since I installed the latest security update. Someone had suggested repairing permissions with it disconnected and then re-installing the security update, repairing permissions again and then plugging it in again.
i don't know if the two are related or not... but i'm concerned about this latest development.
thanks for any and all help!

The version of Disk Warrior at Amazon you gave a link to is an old version (DW 3.0) for OSX 10.2.1. Unless you really are running that specific version of OSX, I'd look for a version that's closer to your OS version (eg. I assume you're running 10.2.8)
I don't know the version history of DW, so I can't give a specific DW version no., but the current DW 4.0 only runs on Panther or Tiger. Here's the system requirements for DW 4.0.
I'd check out eBay as well to get a version of DW that came out probably about 3 yrs ago (2002-2003) that will handle OSX 10.2.6-10.2.8.
Good luck!

I am using custom login module( implements DatabaseLoginModule) for authorisation.
Moreover, after logging in, when a user tries to access a secured jsp page, he should NOT be redirected to login page again. Rather the role checks should be done using existing user credentials stored somewhere. How to invoke the custom DataBaseLoginModule without taking user to login screen?
