Disk Permissions differ after a day

Hi,
Just in the past couple of days my computer has been running very slowly. It has been taking 15 minutes to log in, so I fire up Disk Utility, Verify permissions and there are a heap of differing permissions. I repair permissions and the machine runs fine. The next day the computer is back to being slow. I go through verifying permissions and there are a heap of differing permissions again.
My Hard Drive is farily full, I have 2 partitions, the Macintosh HD partition is running at 7gb free and the extended partition has 32gb free. I don't know if a full disk would be causing these errors.
Here is a log of the disk utility.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have no idea but repairing permissions or not would not likely have any impact on the computer's login time (do you actually mean login as in entering your username and password or do you simply mean boot time?)
If your computer runs slow look for other possible causes such as incompatible third-party software you have installed or corrupted caches and/or preference files. See the following:
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.
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.
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.
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):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
10. MimMac (Commercial)
11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
12. Clone X (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

  • Disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault

    Hi,
    I found my disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault, nearly everything belongs to "system" now.
    Can anyone PLEASE tell me what permissions are standard for
    -Desktop
    -Applications
    -System
    -Libary
    ore doesn't it matter anyway ????
    Thanks a lot...

    Assuming you're just talking about the Owner being System then:
    The owner of Desktop should be your user name.
    Applications and System should be System. Since these are not in your Home folder these permissions would have been corrected when you ran Repair Disk Permissions.
    The Library folder depends on which Library folder you are talking about. If it's the Library folder that's in the same folder as System and Applications, then the Owner should be System, as well. Again, if that is not in your Home folder, then the permissions repair would have corrected it.
    If, however, it's the Library that's in your Home folder, then it should have your username as the Owner.
    Filevault only affects things that are in your Home folder so turning it on/off doesn't affect permissions anywhere else.

  • I keep getting this message, I decided to delete whatever I can to free up some space. Then I get my few GBs I have left on the startup disk. Then after a day, I get the message again. I check the startup disk size and notice I have "zero kb" left. ??????

    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Restart your Mac after freeing up disk space then check Stoage again.
    Another way to view avialable space:
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel you'll see:  Available & Capacity
    Again, make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Permissions differ after installing SSD

    I recently installed a 512gb Samsung 830 series SSD into my Early 2011 13in Macbook Pro. Prior to this, I have verified disk permissions multiple times and never had any permissions differ.
    Since I've installed this SSD, I've run disk permissions several times and there is usually at least a couple permissions that differ. I repair them of course, but my question is how serious could this be?
    Overall, I'm happy with the performance of the drive and I haven't had any problems besides the permissions differing.
    Any suggestions to fix this? And is it a serious issue? If it is, I'd like to return the drive when I still can.
    Thanks for your help.

    No problem, Apple has changed things in OS X and thus certain permissions will also appear to be repaired.

    What does all this mean? How can I fix it?
    Thanks.

    You suggest I reinstall all of Leopard and then update to 10.5.1?
    No. Download and install the standalone 10.51 updater without reinstalling the entire OS.
    I found 2 Remote Desktop updates (Client and Admin) - version 3.2. Are these for Leopard?
    Use the client version.
    How will this help my problem?
    Those are status messages. You don't have a problem.

    I have connected 2 macbook pros using firewire in target disk mode and the permissions on the destination macbook pro have changed. Now when I try to start the macbook pro, it stays on the grey screen and the apple sign changes to a prohibitory sign, therefore I cant log in.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    I am unable to perform a safe boot, it simply wont happen.
    I tried to start from mac osx install disk and that works so I am able to go disk utility, I can run 'verify disk' and 'repair disk' and it shows that everything is ok, however, I cant 'verify disk permissions' or 'repair disk permissions' as both are greyed out because 'the selected disk is not mounted'. I try mounting but that wont work either, I am told to 'disk can not be mounted, run first aid first and then retry'.
    Furthermore, I try to perform 'archive and install' so I follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    But on number 7, intead of being able to choose volume to install to, there is nothing I can choose! There is no list. And of course I cant continue.
    Any help is appreciated!

  • Many permissions differ after recent updates

    I have just updated to iTunes 8.2.0, Garageband update 5.0.2 and Quicktime 7.6.2 on my 24"iMac running 10.5.7 and the number of "unrepairable" permissions has risen from 30 (which has been the constant number since installing 10.5.7) to an eye watering 8.
    This worries me.
    Is this what anyone else is seeing?

    Just in case anyone wishes to know what the "unrepairable" permissions were here is a list. As most if not all have a symbolic link they can probably be safely ignored. I have, however, sent the list to Apple in case it is of use to them when tidying things up in future releases:-

  • Time machine full backup after disk and disk permissions repair

    my macbook would not boot so i inserted the snow leopard DVD and did a disk repair and disk permissions repair, after that it booted perfectly but when it went to do a backup it did a full backup of 149GB , i am unsure why it has done this and would like to know how to stop it as i am trying to save space on my time capsule.
    thank you in advance

    I'm afraid you don't have much choice. You do have lot of space available, though.
    Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
    No pre-backup thinning needed: 165.92 GB requested (including padding), 507.60 GB available
    The "deep traversal" means TM compared everything on your system to the backups, and estimates that about 138 GB is new/changed (it adds 20% for workspace on the TM disk - the "padding" in the message).
    If there's about 138 GB on your system, see #D3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for some common reasons for TM to do a new full backup.
    If there's more, #D4 there has some common reasons for large backups.
    If all you did was repair disk and permissions, neither should have resulted.
    the reason i did a permission repair and disk repair while running from the install disk was because my laptop would not boot from the internal disk so i did both just to be safe.
    That's fine; just do the Permissions Repair again, while running normally.

  • Unrepairable disk permissions

    When I got my iMac for Christmas this past holiday it seemed dead on arrival. After initial booting it abruptly shut down. Without any options on Christmas day I just tried restarting it multiple times. With out any plausible reason it started to work and has worked fine since. I have noticed though that the HDD is making more noise than it should and at times when nothing is really going on.
    On a guess I tried to fix the disk permissions. After verifying and repairing multiple times the same errors keep coming back. So my question is, is there anything I can do with software to fix this or would erasing the drive and reinstalling OS X fix the problem. If not could it be a physical error on the hard disk?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Why you never took your machine in for warranty repair is a mystery. If the machine was DOA as you suggested the first thing you should have done is return. I do agree with the last poster about backing up your system, always keep backups using Time Machine or a Bootable Clone (use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner) on a regular basis.
    As for the messages in Repairing Disk Permissions, there is a good chance the are message you can safely ignore. Please refer to Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.
    If you want to check the hardware health of you can run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If the system reports errors please post them. If it doesn't there is a good chance your machine is operating fine. As for the noise here are some Failing hard drive sounds, if your HD sounds like any of these make an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP immediately for repair and as we have stressed BACK UP NOW!!!!!!

    My question...

    2008-11-29 08:48:26 -0800: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    and why after restarting should I end up with only
    2008-11-29 09:38:47 -0800: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    and after “Clear History” and rerunning Disk Utility why is everything clear until I start using the computer again?
    I’ve had it explained that “Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26” is not meaningful, but I’d like to know WHY it happens. I’d also like to know why “ Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .” initially appears.
    Thank you,

    As a casual "Apple Discussions" user it hadn't occurred to me that if a question had been answered previously, it should never be asked again.
    It's not that. It's because the problem's been beaten to death over the past fourteen months, since Apple shipped Leopard, that most consider it common knowledge, no matter where one's been visiting or how often. Every Apple/Macintosh related website has addressed the never ending issue. Finally, since the forums Help file says:
    *I have a question or issue—how do I search for answers?*
    +It's possible that your question or issue has already been answered by other members so do a search before posting a question. On most Apple Discussions pages, you'll find a Search Discussions box in the upper right corner. Enter a search term (or terms) in the field and press Return. Your results will appear as a list of links to posts below the Search Discussions Content pane.+

You can streamline your results by restricting your search terms by category or forum, specifying a date range, or searching for posts by username. You can also search the User Tips Library.+
    Maybe that should be retitled: *+I have a question or issue—how do I resolve it?+*
    Just out of curiosity, I wonder if any of these exceptional people can figure out my signature.

    And when I verify Disk Permissions again then everything is the same like there wasnt any repair done.
    Why is that? How can I repair it?

    They are absolutely NOT fixed in Lion. It doesn't show up on initial installation, nor after any update, as you would expect if that were the cause- it just shows up, and then things begin to go wrong. Maybe they're 'all unrelated', maybe not. Either way, if you're not using ARD/Remote Management, why not just delete it? I have done that successfully in Lion, but have had problems doing so with Snow Leopard- when I try to delete it (with all the permissions set) it tells me the process shown in the photo is running. Strange, as I don't have Screen Sharing on, RM, or Remote Login on!
    This is photo evidence of my personal experiences with the issues both in Snow Leopad and Lion:
    That second pic is the process in SL that I can't quit and shouldn't be running. The last picture is of my permissions being clean after deleting the file in Lion.
    Have a look at this (older article, but relevant, shows what this is and how long it's gone on):
    http://www.macworld.com/article/134165/2008/06/ardagent.html
    And this is the associated process: RFBRegisterMDNS -- 'This is started up when you enable Screen Sharing', according to: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330407-263.html#ixzz1oPDZb1DH
    There is more info on that if you Google it.
    People on these forums have been very, very nasty about my posting my own problems with this. That only encourages me to try to help others. Ignoring the issue is absolutely not an answer. No one will tell you why the issue can't be repaired, or why it hasn't been fixed in 3-4 OS versions. They also can't explain the associated problems and processes. They just say to forget about it, and get extremely angry if you continue to question that. For that reason alone, I'll continue to post what I know when I see the question.

  • I get message: Force Quit Application when I run iTunes about low disk space, yet I have enought disk space. Recurring often, now. When I run disk utility, tons of permissions differ on 'Applications/iTunes...uld be drwxr-x appear.

    When I run my iTunes on my Max 0SX after a while I get a window on my screen: message reads: Your Mac 0SX startup disk has no more space available for application memory (even though I run my Utility and have tons of space available.) I run the verify permissions and see tons of messages that read: permissions differ on 'Applications/iTunes...uld be drwxr-x; they are - rwxr-xr-x.' Utility cannot get rid of these 'permission' messges. This also happens when I'm working in iPhoto. Need help, please.
    This is not a Utility permissions problem. Seems it is more a disk space problem. HELP tells me to go Downloads and double-click on Downloads and choose Open Downloads.  But this does not work. Downloads will not open. Is it possible Downloads is 'locked?' And if so, how can I unlock Downloads?

    Trying to be more clear, here. Now, that I know the permissions are normal when running verify permissions in Utility.
    Main problem: when I run iPhoto for some time, or iTunes for some time, on my Mac OSX, I get a window that pops up with a message that reads: Your MacOSX startup disk has no more space available for application memory. (It asks me then to 'quit applications you are not using.' After I do that (even though only one app may be open, it tells me to Relaunch Finder).But when I check I see I have tons of gigabyte  space on my computer, I've only used a miniscule amount of disk space.
    I click on this message, without 'relaunching Finder' and I can't get rid of it.
    Why is it telling me I have no more disk space when I have tons of space? Why am I getting this message?

  • HT203172 After update iTunes 11.1(126) a great amount of permissions differ!!!

    Before updating to iTunes 11.1(126) all permissions are perfect. After updating to iTunes 11.1(126) a great amount of permissions differ in irreversable way.
    Has anybody noticed the same problem?

    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 boot failure. It is not a universal rite of healing for computers. 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.
