Disk Permissions not repaired

I run Disk Utility>First Aid>Repair Disk Permission every couple of weeks. Until recently running this utility has cleared all repairs. But now I am getting a list of repairs that doesn't "clear" (meaning that the next time I run Repair Disk Permissions, the same list appears again. This has been associated with iTunes and iPhoto running slower than they have in the past. The list (see below) seems to refer mostly to Front Row, iTunes and iPhoto. Please advise if you know what's going on and how to fix it. Here is the list:

Permissions repair complete

I have exactly the same issue. I have 100 plus of those same errors showing up all involving iPhoto, iTunes & Front Row. No matter what I do, I cannot get rid of the errors. Doing an archive & install is a last resort for me. I have not yet tried the 10.5.6 combo reinstall yet either.
What I have done so far:
1.Soft boot repair permissions & restarting.
2.Regular boot or restart, repaired permissions and restarting.
3.Ran the install disc verify disk and repair permissions settings. Disk results are always green - no problems. The exact same errors show up on the disc when repairing permissions & remain there without disappearing
4.Ran Diskwarrior. All green. Graph 0% out of order.
5.Ran Techtool Deluxe. All clear.
I never get the permissions has been repaired. It's always, permissions repair completed. Well, what exactly did it complete? Sure isn't repairing.
I am going to give Apple Care a call. I paid for it, might as well get my monies worth!! Will post their solution here _*IF IT WORKS.*_

  • Disk Utility can't Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions"

    I tried to run "Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on an external partition, but they all grayed out! "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" were fine! The "Owners Enabled" is "Yes". Why they were grayed out ?!
    Get Info on this volume showed:
    Ownership & Permissions:
    You can "Read & Write"
    Details:
    Owner: admin
    Access: "Read & Write"
    Ignore ownership on this volume: checked or unchecked STILL grayed out!
    Other partitions on the SAME drive are able to do "Very Disk Permissions" and
    "Repair Disk Permissions" (as they are NOT grayed out !) The ONLY difference
    between the one (CAN'T) and the rest partitions is that one (CAN'T) has
    owner by "admin", and the rest partitions (OK to veryify pewrmissions) are owner
    by "system". ANY CLUE ?
    -DC

    The options to verify or repair permissions are only available on a disk with Mac OS X 10.2 or newer installed, and all Mac OS X versions set the owner of the partition containing them to system when installed.

    Hi,
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Then Repair the backup Disk... any change?

  • Permissions not repairing with Disk Utility

    I booted off my internal backup drive to run Disk Utilities on my main drive as I've been having some display problems and wanted to check for viruses and check the integrity of my drive. No viruses, disc verifies OK, but I had a lot of permissions needing repair, which I did.
    I then cleared history and ran Verify Permissions again and even though the repair said all permissions were repaired except the last SUID file, these 7 came back. I ran repair again. Disk Utility said all except SUID were repaired like before. Ran verify again and they same 7 plus SUID showed up needing the same repairs Disk Utility said it fixed twice before.
    Is this indicative of a serious problem? Any ideas how to fix them? Do I even need to?
    Have MacPro1,1 - Running OSX 10.6.7, 8 GB RAM

    Thanks re permissions. I was going to try DiskWarior, to see if it could repair them, but won't now.
    For viruses I ran MacScan. Only found some tracking cookies and removed them.

  • Disk Utility Not Repair Permissions on OS 10.4- Are there other options?

    How can I repair repair HD permissions when disk utility does not work? I have a powerpc g4 that I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged and as a result something affected my boot on my main drive. I removed the 2nd hard drive, reset pram, nvram, and would not boot. Tried the usual reset commands and no boot up. (gets to the gray block screen instructing to restart and stops). Restarted trying to get to safe mode by holding down "shift" key but only gets to blue screen and goes no further with spinning circle looking for something. Used my os x install disk and tried disk utility and s.m.a.r.t indicated was ok and ran repair disk and passed with no problems with the file structure. Then ran disk permissions and disk utility would not run or would not complete. I left the computer on overnight to see if it would repair the permissions.  Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option and restarted and the computer booted up. The desktop came up looking like the old one but most items would not work properly and very slow or would close automaticly.  Looked in system information and found spaces between items. I closed the computer down by restart again to see if it would correct the problem but went back to gray screen instructing a reboot. Reboots brought me back to the same gray screen. Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced? Where do I go from here....thanks

    I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged
    What makes you think this? It's not very often that a new hard drive is defective out of the box. More likely is that it was connected improperly. Don't jump to conclusions without evidence.
    Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option
    What? No such thing. Do you mean Archive & Install?
    Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced?
    If Disk Utility says the drive is good, then we have to assume that's true. It appears that you've somehow corrupted your entire OS X installation, so whether or not you have a backup from before this happened, your best option now is to completely erase that hard drive and reinstall OS X from scratch, along with all the Software Updates to bring it to 10.4.11, as well as your third-party applications.
    Then, if that doesn't work, that may be an indication of a drive problem, or even a system hardware problem.
    To prevent this kind of thing from happening again, you need to invest in at least one external backup drive to use for a bootable backup of your entire hard disk, and keep it updated every day before you shut down your Mac. You can use SuperDuper ($27.95) or Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware) for those.

  • Repairing Disk Permissions - Not Working with Lion

    I simply am not able to repair disk permissions when my Mac is booted normally - the disk utility hangs and never stops - when I boot in recovery more I can run the utility just fine - and then boot as normal.  I am wondering what might be causing this or if anyone else is having a similar problem?

    With Lion, it is best to do any disk repairs via the recovery partition
    And why do you say that?  I have heard no such thing, and this was never the case with previous systems.  It has always been recommended to repair permissions while booted from the system whose permissions need to be repaired.  Do you have documentation that this recommendation has changed?
    Joe, repairing permissions works fine for me without needing to boot into recovery mode.  Are you giving it plenty of time to finish?  Sometimes it may seem to be frozen... sticking on "less than a minute" for well more than a minute, for example.  Have you repaired the hard drive (which you do need to boot from the recovery partition to do)?

  • Repair Disk Permissions not working?

    Based on a printer problem, HP suggested that I run Repair Disk Permissions. I did, generating 9 pages of fixes.  But if I clear the history and run it again immediately, the same list of repairs is generated, suggesting that nothing was fixed.

  • Repair permissions not repairing

    I've been digging on this for a while and don't see a relevant answer, so here goes. My ichat stopped working earlier today. Clicking the icon in the menubar says "no account enabled." Now, normally when this happens, I just reboot to the recovery partition, run "repair disk permissions" in disk utility, boot up again and things are grand.
    Only, this time, I've run repair permissions about a half-dozen times, and all of the items listed as a problem don't seem to go away. I saw a post somewhere that this was a known java issue that didn't affect anything. However, ichat still says "no account active" so I'm conviced that this is a problem in some regard.
    So, how do I repair disk permissions that will not be repaired?

  • Verify Disk permissions not working

    Just updated to 10.5.1. No problem with the install. Everything seems to be working fine. BUT, I updated a couple programs that had patches for Leopard. Went to verify the disk permissions etc... after these updates and now the verify process has just stalled repeatedly. This used to take 25-35 seconds or so in 10.4.11. I have had the progress bar telling me "about a minute" for nearly 20+ minutes on 2 attempts. The STOP VERIFY buttons works immediately however...
    Should I be concerned about this situation? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Some details my computer generated when I tried to Repair Permissions follow. Perhaps they will be of some help to someone who can figure out what's happening.

  • Disk permissions/not enough disk space Warnings

    When trying to export tracks, on one system we use, (using an External FW800 1tb HD) with only about 50gb used, after I hit EXPORT on the menu, It tries to write, then I get a disk permissions warning/not enough disk space. ALl the permission on my disk are set to read and write. Anybody?

    sorry for the multiple posts... First two tracks exported fine, then the third track generated the error again. I discovered that track had a / in the track name, which meant the files had a / in the name. Removed the slash by renaming the track. BINGO, problem solved. files on computers can't have / in the file names right... beware of the other characters not allowed.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Previous system folders hav 10gb on an 80mb disk  could not repair vol

    I'm trying to install Virtual PC. It seems to hang and the reason I suspect is there isn't enough disk space. Can I delete the previous system folders? I shouldn't need them for anything I can think of. There are two of them 5gb each.
    I have another problem I ran disk repair and it said one vol could not be repaired in red but it did say 1 vol was repeaired. I'm not sure what this means since there should only be one vol on my hard drive? When I ran disk repair I got the following messages:
    Checking HFS+ vol
    checking Extents overflow file
    checking catalog file
    Reserved words in catalog record incorrect data
    checking multi-linked files
    checking catalog hierarchy
    checking extended attributes
    Invalid leaf record count should be 6706 not 549
    checking vol bitmap
    checking vol info on Mac HD
    Repairing vol
    the vol was repaired
    1 HFS vol repaired
    1 vol not repaired
    I have MySQL Server and PHP installed. I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I need VPC to run and I need space to install Windows on the Mac HD but I'm wondering why disk repair could not repair 1 vol and why it thinks there were two volumns.
    thanks in advance,

    Is there a second partition for Virtual PC, or other use?
    In Disk Utility, each partition should be listed below the main line (with the Drive name/size).
    If there are two (or more) then you have multiple volumes.
    The one named "Mac HD," that was repaired, is almost certainly your boot volume, so look at the other(s).
    See what the format of each is, by clicking on it and looking at the bottom. If it's not some flavor of Mac OS Extended, then DU likely can't repair it.

  • External hard drive error / disk utility not repairing

    I am having problems with a particular external hard drive. Device is a Transcend StoreJet 25M (640GB) currently formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It was previously formatted in FAT32, exFat, and also Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It started giving me problems when I used it to store all my music on it. My iTunes library and music files were all stored on it, and at one point iTunes started acting funny - it would play a song for a few seconds, pause, play for a further few seconds, pause again, and so forth. I decided to stop using it and when I shifted the iTunes library to the Mac internal hard drive and the music file into another external hard drive, iTunes worked fine. So I figured it must be a problem with the external hard drive itself.
    I recently reformatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and transfered some data on to it (include a back up of the music folder). I noticed that Spotlight keeps trying to index the drive but never actually managed. Times indicated for indexing runs into days. The hard drive tends to be slow to load files expecially when there are multiple folders and tiers, and is generally unreliable. It occasionally unmounts, or when I try to unmount it I get an error saying it cannot unmount because it is being used (but no indication as to which app is using it even if all apps are closed except for Finder).
    I tried repairing it using disk utility. The attached image shows the results. It seems that it can't be repaired by disk utility. At this point, and after much deliberation, I would have to questions:
    1. Should I just smash the thing on the floor?
    2. Is there another application I could try and repair it with?
    3. Even though I have reformatted it several times, it keeps giving me the same problem. When I do a disk verification of the hard rive itself it all seems fine, however when I do a disk verification or repair of the volume I get the error shown in the image. Is this a problem being caused during formatting?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Oh, I forgot to attach image....

  • DisK Utility Not Repairing Permissions

    Hello, I have a problem with my iMac.
    The problem is as following: I cannot repair permission using Disk Utility.
    What happened first was that I wanted to install a program from a mounted drive, however a Pop up occurred and said the framework of installer was incorrect.
    After that, I went to Disk Utility and clicked repair permissions when a Pop up like this came up:
    http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/2582/picture1mt4.png
    What is the problem?
    Thank you for any help,
    Daniel

    -are you running Disk Utility from the HD or booted to the instal disk?
    -what are the affected files?
    If the file(s) was not installed by the mac OS X installer, Repair Permissions will not fix the issue
    Tip:
    If the files are located in your home folder,
    boot to instal disk#1,
    choose Reset Password Utility from the menu bar
    and "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs".

  • New hard drive - Disk Permissions not working

    Recently had my Hard Drive relplaced, and while updating ran in to multipul issues.
    The main one being with iTunes, I can't download songs I purchased from my iPhone & when I try to do it manually it tells me the my permissions need to be changed. So I ran a permissions verification on DiskUtility and it's telling me a whole bunch of stuff doesn't match up.
    Should I run a repair?
    Any other ideas?
    Also, my last hard drive had no issue installing Mountain Lion, and this one refuses.
    Any one else have this issue? 

    MK6475GSX
    Yes, that has AFT. See MKxx75GSX.
    I uploaded all the drivers..
    But the point is that when you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, all the drivers are already properly installed. Everything should work as it originally did.
    I would perform the restore again and immediately install this driver.

  • Permissions not repairing

    Hi,
    Setting up my wife's new mac mini today. used setup assistant to transfer users and settings from my mbp running 10.4.11 which was updated and permissions repaired before doing anything. i did transfer everything, applications, users, files, etc. (maybe i shouldn't have done the apps) anyway, things seemed to go smoothly.
    then...
    repaired permissions on mini before taking software updates--ok
    took software updates, restarted--ok
    repaired permissions again and there was a ton to fix.
    did followup repair to see if all were caught. but they weren't.
    repaired again. but now keep getting the same results over and over.
    three are related to system/library/frameworks/java...
    comes back saying those three are repaired.
    also get five "Warning SUID file ....... has been modified and will not be repaired.
    after repeated attempts i keep getting the same results, whether i do restarts in between or not. i figure sooner or later these bad permissions will come back to bite me if i don't get it fixed. suggestions? should i start over, erase and install but this time without the apps.

    BB623 wrote:
    What causes these to be issues in the first place?
    The short answer is the cause is differences in the permissions database the process compares to the item's actual metadata. Permissions can be "repaired" only in the sense that they can be reset to what is in the database when the two differ.
    So for instance, if an OS or application update doesn't update the database as well as the item itself, you get a message telling you about that. It isn't an error in the item, just in the database, & the process is smart enough not to "fix" the item … which actually would be an error!
