Disk permissions that cannot be repaired

I have two disk permissions that cannot be repaired and wanted to know if there was anything I can do about them. The are: Warning: SUID file "System/library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool"has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning SUID file "usr/bin/lppasswd" had been modified and will not be repaired
I just uninstalled Skype and reinstalled it than ran repair disk permission when these showed up. I have run repair disk permissions several times afterward and they always show up now. Thanks for any help!

Installing OS X 5.5 combo upgrade will clear the problem. I had exactly the same warning downloaded the combo and install straight over the incremental 5.5 update and everything is now fine. Here is the link

  • How do I retrieve data from a HD that cannot be repaired with utility disk?

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro 15 inch mid 2010. It has 4gb of ram and 500gb of storage. I recently upgraded to Mavericks OSX10.9,4.
    First of all, when turning on my mac the screen just loads forever, hence it does not pick up the HD. It also displayed the circle with a line through icon once.
    Upon noticing this, I tried to repair the disk but it said it was unable to. The other disks are ok but the MAC HD says it stopped repairing when I attempted to repair it.
    Using single user mode (command + s): I tried this, but it continued to says the same i/o error code:
    disk0s2: i/o error.n
    0 [level 3] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype IO] [IOType Read] [PBlkNum 57547320] [LBlkNum 67604]
    0 [level 3] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [DevNode root_device] {mountPt /] [Path /private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64]
    And it kept going and going.
    I'm afraid to try anything else. I have no Mac back up in time machine (I know) but I have an external. Is it possible to retrieve the data by wiping the external and using the utility disk to transfer to HD to the external? Is that what people call cloning? Is this physical damage/can i still recover the data/use it and section off the damaged parts and use the spare space?
    Help would be appreciated!

    i/o errors generally mean that a part of the disk cannot be read. That can prevent the disk mounting or prevent the entire disk being read after the error.
    Disk Utility is not great at addressing issues like this & data recovery specialists are the safest (and most expensive) option for recovering data from a disk in this state.
    As others have said it's critical to avoid any use of the disk since if it's a mechanical fault it could seize or finally give up functioning.
    If you are intent on recovering 'on your own & on the cheap' you could look at ddrescue – it clones a disk by copying the data stream whilst ignoring errors from the source disk, the data on the second disk could be 'repairable' with additional tools.
    http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
    TestDisk & Photorec are also good when used for the right fault.
    http://www.cgsecurity.org
    These are all *nix tools & require competence at the command line! Just installing can be too much for some non technical users.
    You also need lots of spare disks to move data onto to run the tools.
    Kappy, is CNET Downloads really a good recommendation? They have a habit of bundling other junk with third party app installers. Go straight to the vendors site would be my advice (using 'https' where available).

  • How do I fix a volume if  Disk utility says cannot be repaired?

    Greetings all,
    Am having some annoying issues with my PowerMac G5 hard drive, nothing very specific, just lots of small issues like crashes and hangs and the fan going into hyper-drive every now and then. Started up from my system disc/Disk Utility and ran repair permissions and repair disc.
    On repair disk it gets to the end then says:
    1 HFS volume repaired
    1 volume could not be repaired
    I cannot find out what this means so can anyone advise?
    I also run repair permissions over and over and it never stops finding something to repair.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    Started up from my system disc/Disk Utility and ran repair permissions and repair disc.
    Do you mean the System install DVD? - that's what you should do as you cannot repair an HD you're booted from.
    On repair disk it gets to the end then says:
    1 HFS volume repaired
    1 volume could not be repaired
    This is a little odd: is there another hard disk connected? Or possibly it was trying to repair the install disk as well?
    I also run repair permissions over and over and it never stops finding something to repair.
    Repairing permissions does thrown up a lot of things which can't be repaired: this is a bug arising from a system update and is harmless: you can ignore it.
    You could try downloading Applejack which you run in single-user mode and provides an easy way of using the built-in disk repair procedure: this is quicker than starting from the DVD and you won't get any confusion with the DVD. It's quite safe: it doesn't do the check itself, just invokes the repair that you would get by typing arcane Linux codes. But note that you must run it only in single user mode (starting up and holding command-s while booting), never while booted normally.

  • IMac disk minor error cannot be repaired

    Dea All,
    My imac keeps running slow, everytime i use disk untility to verify the disk it says minor error first aid failed. So I insert the installation disk and repair it that way. But recently after i repaired from installation disk, and check the verify the disk after reboot it still says there is minor error needs repair. I repair it again with installation disk and it still comes up as error.
    Anyone know what is going on? And how to repair it completely?
    Many thanks for any of your help.
    Alice

    HI,
    Try this... boot from your install disc again.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    *If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.*
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    Perhaps another pass will do the job. Worth a try....

  • Need advice on Repairing Disk Permissions...

    I need some input from those who know how to Repair Disk Permissions (under Disk Utility, for those who don't know).
    Basically, I lost a TON of my Access and Privileges on my G4 recently--which I really only noticed after iTunes would no longer let me import anything (no matter how many times I tried changing the Ownership & Permissions on my Music folder's Info section)--which, I might add, I suffered due to a virus caused by Limewire. As had been suggested to me, I Verified Disk Permissions, and saw that I had a TON of problems listed on my startup HD. So I'm now seeking ways to repair them.
    Now, the most obvious way is using the Repair Disk Permissions program (which I've actually never had to use before). However, under OS10.3.9, when I select the Repair Disk Permissions on Disk Utility, in listing all my Drives available, it actually shows the drive in 2 formats/pictures:
    1) the actual technical name/manufactor model/GB size of the drive (on top), and
    2) the Desktop name and Icon picture of the Drive as it appears on my desktop.
    This confuses me: as you can guess, the startup Drive in question is only partioned as one. So on Disk Utility, which of these 2 pictured drives do I have to highlight and Repair Disk Permissions to (i.e. 19GB Maxtor32049 Vs. 'HAL')?
    Also, for those of you who have used other means (programs) to change Disk Permissions, which would you recommend? For example, I got a program from Versiontracker called BatCHmod, but I don't know if something like it is any safer than just using Repair Disk Permissions. Because unfortunately, I'm running out of room on my disk, and don't have nearly enough space on my other drive to hope to back the whole Drive up to.
    Please help!!!

    Hi phasmatrope!
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk HAL, in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
    "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
    New permissions are 33261"
    This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.
    Or these:
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"
    Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.
    There may be others that you can ignore. Complete lists at link below.
    Spurious Permissions Errors In 10.3.x
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

    Looking at that lot, no further help is required - The messages are just information. Provided you get the "Permissions Repair Complete" you've nothing to worry about.
    You do not need to routinely repair permissions; it's harmless, but wasted time.
    As a diagnostic tool it can be useful for some problems, but 99% of problems encountered have nothing to do with disc permissions.
    It's also worth pointing out that this procedure only looks at permissions on system files and applications which have an installer receipt package in the System Library.
    It does not solve problems with permissions on user data files.

  • Repairing Disk Permissions Problem

    I went to use Onyx yesterday and it asks for my password. I enter my password and it says "Sorry, you entered an invalid password. Please try again. If the problem persists, quit OnyX, repair the permissions with Disk Utility then relaunch OnyX." So I tried. When I am logged in the permissions repair works, but the problem in Onyx persists. So I booted to the install cd and tried there. The process starts but "Reading Permissions Database" never appears in the details and it never moves forward. I'm hoping I don't have to do a reinstall as I used to in my Windows days. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    HI,
    Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) and repair disk permissions that way instead of using 3rd party software.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

    No issues - just ignore...many users see the same.
    Apple has this to say about that:

  • Running the latest OS Mavericks.  8 gigs of RAM.  150 gigs free space on computer.  Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions.  Repaired disk permissions - no help.

    I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac).  8 gigs of RAM.  150 gigs free space on computer.  Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions.  Repaired Disk Permissions - no help.  Repaired disk - no problems indicated.  Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period.  Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

    Yes.  Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08.  Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):

    Also getting many msgs when I use Chrome.

  • HT1452 Should I repair disk permissions?

    "Permissions differ" came up about 50 times after verifying disk permissions. Should I repair disk permissions?

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program
    drwxrwxrwx
    |  |  |
    |  |   all other users not in first two types
    |  | 
    |  group
    | 
    owner
    a little more info
    Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
    After, only the user had read & write.

  • Why doesn't repair disk permissions repair all disk permissions?

    Disk Utility says there are a bunch of disk permissions that need repairing. I hit repair and disk utility says that it repaired those disk permissions. But when I verify, it says they still need to be repaired.

    See "more like this" on the side, or do a search for those terms + "site:discussions.apple.com." This question has been raised and answered innumerable times. Bottom line: don't worry about it.

  • Repair Disk Permissions - ODD !

    I learnt yesterday about the importance of Repairing Disk Permissions although I admit it makes no sense to me why the whole permissions thing is about and the Apple web page about it may as well be in martian. Nonetheless I did repair disk permissions on my MBPro with 10.4.11.
    So today I turned to my new MacPro with OSX 10.5.7 which I've had for 3 months and did a Repair Disk Permissions to see what happened. Slowly it created a LONG list of Permissions that differ and repaired them, eg: Application/iTunes....../Code Resources, should be -rw-rw-r-- they are lrw-rw--
    Then, I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.0 and thought it best to follow the advice and do another Repair Disk Permissions.
    Yet again, this task took a long time (much longer than it does on my MBPro with 10.4.11) and I can't be sure but I swear it identified some of the same permissions that needed repairing before, which supposedly were repaired, less than 30 minutes ago. EG : that listed above !
    WHY would it need to repair permissions twice if the only thing going on in the interim was playing music on iTunes and downloading Firefox via Safari ?

    Niel,
    just so you know where I got the idea from, KLAUS1 Posted: Jun 13, 2009 8:16 PM
    "*Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update*."

  • Oddity when attempting to repair disk permissions...

    I upgraded to Leopard recently and have been encountering some bizarre issues as of late. For one, it doesn't start up anywhere near as fast as it did when I first installed Leopard. And as far as the reason I'm posting this right now, all the Disk Utility processes seem to take a really long time, longer than usual. I'm running 10.5.2.
    Per example, I verify my disk permissions, and it sits for at least 3-5 minutes with the progress bar locked at about 1/8th complete and the time remaining is indicated as less than one minute. Then it moves forward and completes the process in anywhere between another 3-5 minutes. The same occurs when I repair disk permissions or even verify the disk entirely.
    Also, I'm getting the following log message. It's particularly weird because the exact same message shows up in the log after verifying and then repairing disk permissions, as if the repair process isn't actually repairing anything.
    *Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw-------, they are -rw-r-----.*
    *ACL found but not expected on "Library".*
    Again, this log message is displayed after completing each process. Quite odd... any thoughts? Please advise! Thanks in advance.

    In a nutshell, repairing permissions w/Leopard takes anywhere from 10-40 minutes, depending on what's installed and what's contained in /Library/Receipts/bom/. The repair permissions operation has changed in Leopard. The stalled progress bar is an unresolved bug (they haven't figured out how to make it work whilst it's checking or rebuilding the a.receiptdb, in /Library/Receipts/db/. To see what's really going on, open that folder in a Finder window, select list view, launch Disk Utility, select your boot volume, and click on repair permissions. Watch the Finder window flash files that are being read and checked against the current a.receiptdb file. That's what's taking all the time and freezing the progress bar. Once that's finished, the progress bar starts moving and the permissions are being checked and repaired. Also note, that you won't get any *they were repaired message* back for any that are noted to be incorrect.
