Disk Utility error-what does this mean?

Everytime I do repair disk permissions, and I do it almost daily, I get this message:
Repairing permissions for “My Disk"
Determining correct file permissions.
Group differs on ./Private, should be 80, group is 0

Has anybody idea what is this?
thank you

HT201257 mac os x 10.4.11 tiger: apple hardware test has detected an error (what does this mean): 4SNS/1/40000001:VDOR

Can someone help? I did an apple hardware test and it has detected an error: 4SNS/1/40000001:VDOR
What does that mean? Can i correct it myself? how?
my computer is "tiger" mac os x 10.4.11, Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory: 2.5 Go 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Thank's for answering, realy appreciate your time,
A technician had installed last year "mac os x snow leopard 10.6" (family pack) at around $49.00 - I had originaly mac os x 10.4.11 (tiger). He had changed my hard drive, added memory: 2.5 Go 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, processor is: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (he told me he had to change my hard drive probably due to a power shortage. Before he did the changes, I had done a hardware test: it gave me the same error as today 4SNS/1/40000001:DVOR, He cleaned the inside, but he did not change any sensors. What am i to do???
Not too long ago i started having problems. (probably from a power shortage, at one point. I don't know if my external back up got corrupt. so i don't want to use it. He had eraced tiger 10.4.11 and installed snow leopard 10.6.
I eraced snow leopard and installed mac os x 10.4.11 (that came with my computer).
I wanted to install mac os x 10.6 (snow Leopard) without eracing tiger (chat sites say you can do that) but it said it couldn't use my hard disk because of my memory: my info says: used: 18,78 Go on the disk, available: 446.66 Go, Capacity: 465,44 Go
So that's when i did a hardware test with the CD1 of mac os x 10.4 (tiger) and that where i got the message.
If i have a sensor problem, then i guess i'm waisting my time trying to reinstall mac os x 10.6 (snow Leopard) or am i doing it wrong. I was told i could leave tiger there and upgrade directly to snow leopard, without installing mac os x 10.5 (leopard).
Thank again

HT201210 startup disk is full-what does this mean and what do I do?

When syncing my iphone I get an error message that said my start up disk was full. Now it won't backup my phone to my computer. What does that mean and what do I do?

Click on your hard drive once. Then File > Get Info. What does it report there for space (capacity and "available")? Have you emptied the Trash (Finder > Empty Trash)? If you have truly filled up you hard drive then it is critical you copy files off onto an external hard drive soon. Macs need a lot of free drive space at all times and you may experience frequent crashes, slow down, and file loss if you don't free up space (15+ GB at all times at least)..

Warning message: Startup disk is full-what does this mean and how do I fix?

HI. I keep getting this warning that my startup disk is full -- but I just recently deleted many files. how do I fix?

Empty the trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or Mobile accounts to store their "stuff.”
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days.
There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Invalid Node Error: What does this mean?

I have a white Macbook I purchased in September of last year, so the hardware warranty is still active. I did not purchase any extended care warranty, but am considering it now...
This past Monday, I was using my computer at one work site, then had to go to another. I shut it down, and when I got to my next destination (roughly 15 minutes later) I tried to power it up. I got the gray screen with the apple, the little wheel spinning below it, and after about two minutes of that, it shut down. That's all it has done since. It was working perfectly until then, as far as I could tell.
I have tried resetting the PRAM, taking out the battery and holding the power button down, running a hardware check, and booting from the installation disk. The hardware check said it detected no problems, but the disk utility consistently finds an Invalid Node error, and can't repair the disk. I can't verify either, for the same reasons.
Of course, I have nothing backed up. I would like to recover my data if possible, but I'd rather have a working computer with everything lost than neither. I have an appointment at a Genius Bar for tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what this might be.
I appreciate any help!

Disk Warrior can repair the invalid node problem if it's not extensive. However, if DW is unable to repair the disk, then reformatting would be your only other option.
If you have a backup clone from which you can boot the computer then you can update the backup of your data files before reformatting the drive. If you don't have a backup (which you should,) then the following would be an option:
If you have access to another Mac with FireWire, then you can use Target Disk Mode to access the drive and backup your data files, provided the drive is accessible.

-39 error, what does this mean, how do I fix it?

I try and download a game from the iTunes store and I get this error message "There was a problem download ######. An unknown error occured -39." How do I fix this, I am using the Windows Vista platform.

This is a not uncommon problem when uninstalling iTunes and other Apple programs. It also occurs when updating because Apple uninstalls the previous version before applying an update.
There is a Microsoft "Fix it" solution for programs that won't uninstall correctly found at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. It can bypass the network resource unavailable error. It is well written but may take several minutes (I have seen 20-30) to uninstall the app. When the utility finishes successfully the app is uninstalled and, if desired, you can try the software update again.
This solution is a replacement for the older Windows Installer CleanUp utility (msicuu2.exe). Microsoft retired the CleanUp utility because it can cause problems with other programs installed by the Microsoft Windows Installer. If you see suggestions that direct you to download the older utility, please try this Fix it solution before doing so. Downloading programs from unknown sources can be risky.

64-bit link error, What does this mean?

When building fortran code with the -xarch=v9 option I get an error stating
"cannot find /opt/SUNWspro/prod/lib/v9/crti.o ........."
Is this simply a PATH problem or do I need to install something else ?
I am using SunStudio 9 on a Sunfire 480R with Solaris 9.
Any help appreciated
Richard

Is your compiler installed in the default location? The linker appears to be looking for the v9 startup code in the usual place (if the compiler is installed in the default directory). If it's not there then the install wasn't successful or the intialization code got munged somehow.
Are you mixing objs compiled with the C++ and/or C compilers? Could you print out your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH environment variables and let me see them?
Thanks

Hello.. I am getting a screen when i turn my laptop on startup says OSX utilities....restore, reinstall osx or disk utility....what does this mean?

Hi, that sounds like it's booting from a Restore partition, but that is only for 10.7 & up, you list 10.6.8 though.
Anyway, hold alt key at bootup, what boot choices are shown?

What does this mean and how do I fix it: "The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project: - There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project."

What does this mean and how do I fix it: "The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project: - There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project."

It means that iDVD has found a problem with one of the movies added to the project. Did you edit the movie after it had been added to the project.
Create a new project and add your assets, movies, slides, etc. again and follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

The opperating system I am using is 10.7.4, and updating to the latest version currently. Computer is running fine, except that when I did some utility repairs, I got the warning above, and not really sure what do, in regards to repairing it correctly, not just getting the message off of my computer.
Thank you for your help, and please only contribute if you know about this issue please.

That's a status message which can be safely ignored.
