Disk Permissions will not repair everything

Recently both my G3 Macs running fully updated versions of 10.3.9 have been unable to repair 5 permissions. Is anybody else with similar systems seeing this is in Disk Utility and does anybody have any ideas how to correct it? My Intel iMac running 10.4.9 repairs all permissions when needed.

Hi Robby
In Panther some disk permissions will always appear to be repeatedly repaired, but this s a characteristic of Panther that was rectified in the later Tiger. This may be what you are experiencing, and if so it is nothing to worry about.

    These days it's quite normal to get a long list of 'errors' on doing a permissions repair because Disk Utility has not been upgraded to allow for some changes made to the system.
    As long as at the bottom of the list it says 'Permissions repair complete' you can safely ignore them all.

    What can I do to fix these errors? Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply's!
    I did run 'Check permissions' first, after that I ran 'Fix permissions' two times.
    The output I posted above was indeed the output of a 'Check' run. But this was just to see what wasn't fixed after the to 'Fix' runs.
    To reboot the server with the installation CD sounded very logical (why didn't I think of that). I just tried it, and a lot of things were fixed. After that I ran the check again, this is the output:
    *Output of 'Check Permissions' after a 'Fix permissions', (both from the 10.5 Server CD):*

  • Disk Permissions will not run using Disk Utility app

    I just recently (yesterday) ran disk utility to repair permissions and this is the message I received "First Aid Failed - Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions on “Macintosh HD” because the following error was encountered:
    No valid packages" I ran it multiple times, restarted 3x and still the same message.
    What in the heck in this? Never got this error message before.
    Mike

    Open the /Library/Receipts/ folder and look at the items inside; there should be roughly 62 items inside, which may significantly vary depending on your configuration. Some of these receipts are necessary for Repair Permissions to operate; if you've deleted these, you can copy them from another system. If you cannot get these back, you need to create another Mac OS X installation or reinstall Mac OS X on your existing system to get new ones.

  • OS X Yosemite will not shut down, Disk Utility will not repair HDD

    When I try to shut down OS X Yosemite on my MacBook Air, the screen goes black almost immediately with the mouse pointer remaining visible (and moveable). However, it appears that irrespective of how long I give my Mac to shut down, it never does.
    When I run Disk Utility it tells me that my HDD needs to be repaired, and that I need to reboot while holding Cmd + R before running Disk Utility. When I do this, Disk Utility tells me that there is nothing wrong with the HDD.
    What's the best way to go about resolving this issue?

    It runs in single user mode, where it runs more safely than other maintenance/cleaning programs because there is less chance of interference from the OS. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO,"  you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
    The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

    HI Griff,
    About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions Feature
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    From the last link: "Repair Disk Permissions often produces messages while it is running. These messages are generally of an informational nature and can usually be ignored. Some of these messages may be repeated every time Repair Disk Permissions is run as the receipt for the object in question is forcing the setting of specific permissions, even if no correction is required. Again, these can also be ignored. *Only messages indicating the failure of the Repair Disk Permissions process, or the inability to correct permissions on a specific file or folder, should be of concern."*
    The more you educate yourself on the Mac OS X, the more confidence you will have in the system.
    I just ran Disk Utility and have the same permissions as you. As long as you see this at the end...
    Permissions Repair complete. You're fine.

  • Repair disk permissions does not work

    Repair disk permissions does not work. Disk Uitliy fines many incorrect permissions (ACL found, but not expected) and says that it would repair it. However, when checked again, it finds the same permission errors.
    I have tried Disk Utility as well as the command line "sudo diskutil repairPermissions /" (which probably does exactly the same as Disk Utility).
    Any hints?
    C.

    Are you trying to Repair Permissions because you have file access problems in the System files, or just because you think you need to do it?
    If the former, please explain what you are seeing. If the latter, stop wasting your time.
    The things it doesn't repair are not repaired because there is nothing broken. The orginal Receipts files have the old settings, and subsequent updates have changed the permissions on those things to what they should be, now. It will report the differences it finds every time you run Repair Permissions because they will always be different and they should be the way they are.

    Boot your computer into Safe Mode usually by tapping the F8 key at boot.  Select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
    From there type  rstrui.exe and select a Restore Point prior to the time the problem started.
    If unable, you will have to perform a Factory Restore.

  • Disk Images will not mount and Disk Utility will not runru

    I am having some major problems with Disk Utility, Disk Images, and software update. First, Disk utility will not open or run. When I double-click the application icon, nothing happens, no message, nothing. I am running OSX 10.4.11. I have deleted diskutility prefs. I am able to run Disk Utility from the Startup DVD of Tiger. On first run, it verified and repaired permissions. I run verify and repair permissions several more times from Startup DVD and everything is fine. But Disk Utility on my startup HD will not work. Similary, NONE of my disk images will mount. No matter what Disk Image i try to mount, nothing will. And I cannot use Disk utility to mount them! So, no matter what I download, no images will mount. And thirdly, when I try to run software update, it will not work. I do get a message: it says, "Could not load Software Update." Finally, i tried to download Onyx to delete log files, etc.. but again, the disk image will not mount. I was able to install a dashboard widget called "maintidget" and was successful in running the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks. Can anyone help? Everything else works fine!!! All apps! Safari, Mail, iTunes, MS Office, everything works fine. Thanks for ANY help!

    Previously, I had run verify permissions, repair permissions multiple times(from startup DVD) - no probems found. Deleted disk utility prefs. Run the maintenance taskes (daily, weekly, monthly). Nothing worked. But, I forget to check the drive for problems. So I ran disk scan. It found "invalid node" and repair disk could not do it. So, do I erase and do a fresh install or get DiskWarrior? I am running Leopard so I do not have Time Machine but I have backed up my documents, iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, etc... Another thing I found out the hardway is to sync all your bookmarks, mail settings and messages, etc... with .mac if you have an account. Any more suggetions?

  • Disk Utility will not verify disk because, "The underlying task reported failure on exit."  Now what?

    Disk utility will not verify disk because, " The underlying task reported failure on exit."  The "repair disk" button does not light up.  The report says that repairs need to be made to the hard drive.  I have already checked permissions.  What do I do next to get the repair process started?  Also, I cannot find a defragmenting drive option in Disk Utility.  Doesn't it exist?

    You need to boot from the install DVD (or a clone of your internal) to run Repair Disk. Repair Disk will be grayed out, dimmed, because you can't repair from the same volume you are booted from.
    EDIT: No, you do not yet need to use Disk Warrior or Tech Tool or do any reformatting. These steps might become necessary only if Repair Disk fails.
    Unless you have very large video files, for example, there is no need to run any defragmenting utility. OS X does it all by itself on the fly.
    Try Disk Utility
    Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    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.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    Select your Mac OS X volume.
    Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    If you don't have the install DVD, try a Safe Boot. Hold the Shift key down at startup and give it much more time to boot than usual. It's trying to repair the drive directory.

  • IPhoto 06 and Disk Utility will not launch

    I have a friend who has upgraded to iLife 06 on her G4 Mirrored Doors and when she tries to launch iPhoto 06 it bounces in the dock and then stops. iWeb will launch, as well as iDVD and iMovieHD, but Disk Utility will not. I have used the Tiger Install DVD to repair permissions as well as run FSCK -fy in single user mode. Nothing seems to fix these problems. Any advice will be appreciated.
    TIA.

    Since Disk Utility won't run I'd reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO updater. Then see if DU will launch. If so repair disk permissions with it. Then see if iPhoto will launch. If not then reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disks, update to 6.0.4 with System update, and then download and run the 6.0.5 updater (it will only run on 6.0.4). Then run Disk Utility again and repair disk permissions.
    Before reinstalling however, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder must be deleted along with the current application.
