    Any courageous guesses to the meaning of this somber conversation reported in Disk Utility following a permission repair after installing OSX 10.5 ?
    Thank you Frederick

    Hi ELBiggus
    This is the Disk Utility conversation . I spoke with an Apple Technician who suggested that the double layer DVD installation disk Leopard is smart enough to do a clean install on all Apple hardware . So I am going to back up the Macbook pro and do the Clean and Install . Then I will see if that doesn't kill the problem , WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS !!!
    I still don't really know what it is , but it feels ominously similar to disk failure .

    I ran DIsk Utility to repair permissions on my system drive, and got these notices. Anything to worry about?:

    Thanks for your help. I am on an Intel iMac.

    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 and 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    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 changed the location of a number of system components.

  • SUID file has been modified and will not be repaired?

    No matter how many times I repair permissions, these remain:
    +Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
    +Permissions differ on "Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls", should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x .+
    +Repaired "Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls".+
    +Permissions differ on "Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/ALRHelperJobs", should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x .+
    +Repaired "Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/ALRHelperJobs"+.
    Why?

    I'm having the same errors, but also other symptoms that could be related, but I'm not sure. I have two profiles (users) on my machine. One is for work and one for personal. The work profile works fine, but the personal one loses the settings each time I log off or restart. It loses dock settings, web history, and other things. I've run disk repair and permissions repair both from the Leopard Disc, but it still hasn't changed.

    I am running 10.9.1 software
    Help Diggs1936

    I would try reinstalling.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    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.

    1. It means that the current software is installed.
    2. It's not something you should try to fix.
    3. Verifying and repairing permissions shouldn't be done as routine tasks.
