Disk permission errors

Hi, I just verified disk permissions for the first time.. my MBP is a month old. I was surprised to find hundreds of errors in the log, but they all looked similar, all for AirPort Utility, such as:
2010-05-15 10:40:10 -0400: Permissions differ on "Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/MoreInfo.strings", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are -rw-rw-r-- .
2010-05-15 10:40:10 -0400: Group differs on "Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/ProblemPanels.nib/keyedobjects.nib" , should be 0, group is 80.
2010-05-15 10:40:10 -0400: Permissions differ on "Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/ProblemPanels.nib/keyedobjects.nib" , should be -rw-r--r-- , they are -rw-rw-r-- .
2010-05-15 10:40:17 -0400: Group differs on "Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app/Contents/Resources/Japanese.lproj/AAUAdvanced.nib/keyedobjects.nib" , should be 0, group is 80.
I don't notice any functional problems, but I'm wondering what these permission errors with AirPort Utility are about..?
Can these be left alone, or is it a good idea to run the repair?
Thanks,
Karen

So this means that I should run the repair anyway..
you can but it probably won't do away with those error messages
I wasn't sure if that was a completely safe operation
it's safe, no worries
to do routinely
not routinely. see this read: _*Five Mac maintenance myths*_.
or if it should only be done if there is a noticeable problem.
it's a way to troubleshoot your Mac, yes.
happy computing !

  • 2008 Macbook OS 10.7.5 disk permission errors, freezes

    Hi, I have a 13" early 2008 MacBook 4,1, described as:
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  Intel GMA X3100 144 MB
    Serial Number  W88280ZR0P6
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)-
    A few days ago it froze on startup. It loaded to my home window, I could move the cursor, but couldn't click on anything.
    I got around that by unplugging from the wall and the battery, then it would run all right for a short while, then freeze again.
    Ran Disk Utilities, verified and repaired the disk, and then found over 1,000 disk permission errors. Permissions errors were mainly from Safari or Itunes, a typical message line reads:
    Permissions differ on "Applications/ITunes.app/Contents/Resources/tr.Iproj/InforDialogue ArtworkVieww.nib",should be drwxr-xr-x, they are -rxwr-xr-x.
    I have the utility repair the disk permissions, which it says it does, then clear the window, and restart. When I go back to disk utiities, all the errors are back again.
    I don't know what to do next. Re-install the Operating System? Get rid of Safari? (I hardly ever use ITunes, the other main source of error messages.) Take the machine to the local Mac shop? Any advice or insight would be appreciated.

    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on lock icon and enter your admin password. Click on the Add [+] button below the users list. Configure the new account and be sure to check the box for an Admin account. You also need to change the auto-login account which is done in Login Options. Log out of your account then log into the new one.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Repair Disk Permission Error Message

    I routinely run Disk Permission Repair through the DU as part of maintaining my Mac (I can't help it - I was once a Windows user :)). Today when I ran this on my primary drive, I received this error:
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired
    I checked previous posts and this ISN'T listed as one of the disk repair messages I could safely ignore.
    Any ideas as to how to fix this and how serious an error this is?
    Thanks.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 indicates most but not all warnings (not errors). Ignore it.

  • Disk permission error, anyone know what it means?

    I repaired my disk permissions tonight and got this message,
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    It's the only one it wouldn't repair, I tried to fix it twice, anybody know what it means?
    Thank you.

    Although it’s immensely popular, repairing permissions is a waste of time unless you have a specific indication of a permission error involving system files, which is rare, or a startup failure. It has traditionally spewed bogus warning messages that mean absolutely nothing.
    The built-in help for Disk Utility reads in part:
    If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.
    It’s justifiable, though rarely necessary, to repair permissions after running a third-party software installer, as defective installers have been known to damage the permissions of system files.

  • Disk permissions errors

    Hi All,
    I keep getting these disk permission errors everytime I try to repair the disk permissions can anyone help
    Thanks

    Rohan --

    Now, if it every says, Repair Permissions could not be completed,

  • Web-Disk on OSX 10.9 Give me this error: "Finder got an error: Network file permission error."

    Previously I was using OSX 10.8 and Web Disk was working great.
    Since I upgraded to OSX 10.9 Web Disk Dont Attach to my compputer and give me this ERROR:
    FInder got an error: Network file permission error.
    When I got this ERROR first time I searched GOOGLE and found this link: http://cammodude.blogspot.no/
    And I did:
    To force all connections to be SMB1:
    Open A terminal window
    paste in the following line followed by the return key(should be all on one line): 
    echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
    What the command does:
    Creates a file called nsmb.conf  in your  home directory at the path ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf.
    Adds directives to force SMB connections to use the SMB1 protocol.  This is slower but stable.
    Then I could use Web Disk on OSX 10.9 after executing this command in Terminal.
    But now I restarted my Macbook and now Im NOT able to connect to Web Disk and get the same ERROR.
    FInder got an error: Network file permission error
    After trying 100 times it attaches 1 time but then show this ERROR:
    Can't get <<class cdis>> "my.server.com/2078" of application "Finder".
    If this happen then I can see the files in Finder and see the Contents and Size of files but if I open a PHP file in BBEdit then it shows BLANK.. But actually it is NOT blank.
    Now Im stuck How can I solve this? All help is highly appericated..
    Thank you so much...

    Hi,
    Make sure to chmod the app, something like this :
    chmod -Rf 777  secure_site_WebDisk.app
    (in my case the CPanel provided the app for my OSx version.)

  • I purchased a IMac in Feb later I added a Seagate ext. hard drive. On April 29 I received an errors that the ext. Drive may be a read only and not backing up files. I'm unable to check disk permission or correct errors. Help would be appreciated.

    I purchased a IMac in Feb later I added a Seagate ext. hard drive. On April 29 I received an errors that the ext. Drive may be a read only and not backing up files. I'm unable to check disk permission or correct errors. Help would be appreciated.

    Click on the hard drive on the desktop, then File > Get Info. What does it say about permissions?  If this is just a data drive you may want to consider "ignore ownership on this volume".
    Otherwise I can only say I have not been reading good things about Seagate drives recently.  I have some of their rock-solid ones from about 10 years ago (still running well), but now...?

  • Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium Disk space and Permission Errors

    Win7 clean install, Dual Core 3.0, 4gigs ram, Audigy Sound Card, nvidia 8800 GT video card, 600 gig HD space, no anti virus, no firewall, no other programs installed.
    Download manager and alteritive method both result in extration error " A problem occured while extracting some files. Check avaibile diskm space on your computer and write priveleges on destination folder ". A whole week of trying to sort this out but no joy. Adobe tech says D/L file directly to C: trying that now but has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

    D/L from another location and onto different computer, extracted the 
    file with Winrar from the root drive not from a user account and Bingo 
    not corrupt files.Then moved then to the host machine and installation 
    work perfectly.  That took a week and a bit to figure and I hope 
    others can benefit from my experience.  ( In Adobe Ninerva now ! ) 
    Thanks, Mylenium.

  • Reoccurring Quicktime permission errors in Disk Utility?

    Hi all.
    I have this Mac tower:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_1.8_dp_2.htm l
    Running 10.5.8
    I ran Disk Utility to verify and then repair permissions recently, but when I reopen the
    utility again the very next day or same day and verify again I get what I am assuming is
    the same errors, all seeming to do largely with some aspect of Quicktime?
    Can anyone tell me what might be causing all these? I have pasted a copy of the permission
    errors below. Thanks a lot.

  • ITunes Disk Access Permission Error after Account Migration

    We purchased a new mac mini and used the account migration tool to move an account from a g4 Powerbook to the new machine. Everything went fine, but there was a problem with iTunes. It would not import any music from a CD. The error was "You do not have disk permission to write the music."
    HOW TO FIX:
    1/ Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced
    2/ Check the iTunes Music Folder Location. (it is the first window down)
    3/ It should say something like:
    Macintosh HD:Users:yourname:Music:iTunes:iTunesMusic...
    (In our case, it was still set for the old machine.)
    5/ Select "reset" button on right. Click OK.
    That's it.
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    I followed the instructions and it opened the itunes application correctly and allowed the user to access itunes account. However when I overwrote the new library folder with the old one the problem re-appeared so the fault lies with this library folder and some sort of permissions issue?. This has happened with a lot of accounts on our system and I am at a loss as to why it is happening. Furthermore it has now started to occur with Apple works files. Any ideas anyone?

    Any ideas on what to do next?
    I'm running and iMac 20-inch  early 2009
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    Step 1
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    Step 2
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • After installing 10.7.2 from scratch, permission errors remain

    Hey, this is a summery of what have happened:
    1. upgraded to Lion from SL (via AppStore)
    2. have played with 'get info' > 'apply to all enclosed items'  :/
    3. things have gone messy, slow, permission errors. example:
    (Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.)
    4. booted from DVD of Lion dmg.
    then, formatted and performed a clean install.
    (backed up to a new disk image with CCC, just in case)
    5. Notice that I did not copy anything or downloaded/installed a single file/application yet.
    after the so called 'clean' install, I've ran the disk utility to verify permissions again (both from DVD and from cmd+R - recovery partition).
    still I get the warning about ARDAgent, still verifying and repairing permission takes 2-3 minutes. with only the OS X installed on HDD.
    6. Got this advice from several boards:
    Open Terminal as an admin user.
    type in the following:
    sudo chmod -RN ~
    you will have to authenticate with a non-blank password.
    then follow the steps of resetting the ACLs.
    I have done this, and got: Failed to clear ACL on file ubiquity.socket: Invalid argument
    Then, booted from DVD, in terminal typed: 'resetpassword' and chose the HDD and "user" and clicked on 'reset password and ACLs'.
    restarted, Spotlight did index againg.
    7. still permission errors, so I didn't copy anything back yet, waiting for help to get the right way or restoring to default/formatting again.
    My questions are:
    1. Did I do everything right? Is it possible to perform a clean install from the DVD that I made?
    2. If so, shouldn't it cancel all the ACLs problems and reset them to the default?
    3. Is there a way to make a real 100% clean install of 10.7.2, with erasing even the recovery partition (if it has to do with ACLs)?
    4. if and when this will be solved, I will need to copy back my files and folders from external FW800 WesternDigital,
    will I need to reset their permissions too somehow? It could cause more problems with the ACLs.
    thank you very much.

    baltwo,
    I have a lion clone. so I guess there is no reason to install lion upon it's own clone.
    anyways, how is it possible that after the complete format, the ACL problem remains.
    what about removing the recovery partition.
    the reason I want it to be done is to get rid of the problems I had with the new installation, tham I'm afraid will not be fixed otherwise: crashing apple applications (safari quitted unexpectedly), slow performance, computer freezes, GUI lags (copying 138 items to another folder stucks and I have to relounch finder) and other animation bugs at almost everywhere on the system.
    restoring lion clone and turning on the time machine sounds like the last option right now...
    and I'll be happy to hear opinions about what to do with the backed up data on the external hdd permissions.
