DVD Tiger Disk Permissions on Main HD gets Error HELP

I have ran TechTool 4.0.4 trying to get my main WD 120gb HD to be able to have the Disk Permissions done by booting up off my Tiger DVD and I get this error:
Disk Utility Internal Error
Disk Utility has lost it's connection with the disk management tool and
cannot continue
Please quit and Relaunch Disk Utility
I've tried to do this a dozen times and I still get the same error, I've booted up with a back-up copy of my Tiger DVD and also I've booted from a external FireWire HD with OS 10.4.6 on it and ran Disk Utility and ran into the same message
I read on the disscussions to:
1) Move iTunes onto the Desktop.
2) Run Disk Utility.
3) Go to HD>Library>Receipts and trash all iTunes .pkg files EXCEPT for iTunesX.pkg and iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg.
4) Empty Trash.
5) Move iTunes from Desktop back to 'Applications'.
Hey presto, you should now be able to repair permissions again."
That didn't work please help as I've tried CockTail, Onyx many others and when I try to repair disk permissions all the app's just spin
As I've stated I ran DiskWarrior 4.0.4 and had a couple of minor file problems and also I tried the Command S upon restart with some minor issues
What is this?
What I've done recently: Added a ATI 9800 Mac Edition AGP Video card and after I installed it I ran Disk Permissions and it worked fine, this has just started without notice!

Hi macman60,
Your post is incredibly confusing.
First, you should repair Disk Permissions from the copy of Disk Utility that is installed on your boot drive, not the CD?DVD.
Try that and see if it is able to repair the permission or not.
If it does then boot from the DVD and run the disk utility to repair the file structure of your disk. You need to run it until you get a message that the disk appears to be O.K. or else a message that it cannot repair the disk.
If that is the case then boot from your Tech Tool or Disk Warrior CD, whichever you have and use it to repair the disk. Remember that you have to boot from the CD, not just insert the CD and try and run it from ther. You boot from a CD?DVD by installing it in the drive and then restarting while holding down the "C" key until you see the splash screen. With Disk Warrior that can take 10 minutes or so. From the Apple CD/DVD it should only take a couple of minutes.
Start here and let us know how it goes.
Also, for now get rid of all your third party utilities such as Cocktail or Onyx until wer get this mess straightened out, just in case the issue is with one of them. If you have any third party haxies like Fruit Menu or others go ahead and get rid of them for now. They can be reinstalled later from your backup copy.

Hi, I have a PPC Running OSX 10.5.4 and I want to delete the User "Guest"and "Shared"Folders on my HD, they won't let me change the permissions and I keep getting errors that say the permissions should be 0 and are 501 and having files i can't delete that go on and on ad infinitum... I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Why do you want to delete those? What have you done so far to do that?
I doubt that Mac has a virus. On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
Two other comments:
1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

DVD-RAM disk/ReadDV!- how to get into imovie

Hello
I have a dvd-ram disk with home movies on it, transfered from VHS. I want to get it into imovie to edit. I have DVDxDv. DVDxDV doesn't recognize the disk and the disk will not import into imovie. I read somewhere to get ReadDV! by software architecs. I did and installed corectly and it still isn't doing anything different that what was happening before I bought the software. Mac OSX opens the disk and sees the file, but when I click on the .vro file it asks which application I want to use to open it, and when I click on ReadDV it goes to the install folder with nothing lit up to use as an application. imovie is not lit up as a choice to open it and neither is DVDxDv. Tech Support at Softarc is gone for the day, hasn't answered emails I sent 2 days ago and I'd like to work on this over the weekend. THANK YOU!

I downloaded MPEG streamclip and it does convert, but you have to buy a download from apple in order for it to finish a conversion. Thought you'd like to know. Here's what the user guide says: MPEG Streamclip supports MPEG-1 video, MPEG layer 1/2 audio, AC3/A52 audio and PCM audio. MPEG-2 video is supported in conversions, but for playback and export you have to buy the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) from Apple." It's never easy, is it?

DVD-Ram disks won't mount on Dual 450 - help!

I've got a particular and pressing problem. I'm an audio engineer among other things. I have a lot of files archived temporarily on DVD-Ram disks from my old Dual 450. I have to retrieve some files pronto but suddenly the DVD-Ram disk won't mount. The drive spits out the disk as soon as I insert it. It will mount CDs but not these DVD-Ram disks. Please help. I need to back these up off of thse old disks. But more urgently I have pending sessions that require I get some files from these disks. This happens both under OS 9.1 and 10.2.8 the last revisions of this computer I did. But it used to work until a year or so ago.
I have so far repaired permissions, used Disk Warrior and sprayed around the dusty drive with compressed air. It seems that perhapos a mechanism is loose springing the disk out when it's not immediately recognized as a CD or DVD-R.
Help!

Probably your best bet is to dismantle the drive and try manually cleaning the lenses, which has made a difference for some users.
Other option is to replace the drive with a new one capable of reading (but not necessarily writing) DVD-RAM media. LG-4163B is one such drive, Pioneer DVR-110 can also read DVD-RAM. These drives are under $40 online in the US.

This is the model of my dvd burner "HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA" i dont know if that helps
I bought the computer just over a year ago and havent had any problems until this.
Does anyone know how to fix my problem??
Please help me. I'm a Productions manager for an extreme sports Tv show up here in Lake tahoe and i need my Dvd burner to work so i can use it in my daily work. thanks alot

if you want to use the same font but different size/color etc, just create a different textformat instance or you could re-use the one you already defined:
var font3:Font=new Font3();
var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat.size=15;
dtText2.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;
dtText2.embedFonts=true;
var dtfFormat3:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText3:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat3.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat3.size=22;
dtFormat3.color=0xaa0000;
dtText3.autoSize=whatever
dtfText3.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat3;
dtText3.embedFonts=true;
it only gets tricky when you want bold or italic or bold and italic fonts embedded. those are different fonts and those need to be embedded seperately.

Printing DVD labels to Epson Stylus Photo RX700 getting error

Two Parts
I've got a 800mhz G4 PowerBook running 10.4.11 and I can print to printable CDs/DVDs using either "Epson Print CD" which is HORRIBLE software, or Roxio's Disc Cover RE (Roxio Edition) from Toaster 9 (which is great) with no problems.
When I try to print from my white 24" intel core2duo with 10.5.3 with either of those the Printer Settings are crossed out so I can't select the settings it tells me to in order to print the label for the printable CD or DVD.
I've downloaded the latest print driver from Epson (2.3.1). I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it and I get the same thing. Any ideas?

i have a similar problem and mine just say no drivers availible during the installation.

When I run Verify Disk Permissions I get something that can not be repaired.

When I run Verify Disk Permissions I get something that can not be repaired. The message I get is
Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
When I run a repair disk permissions it does not get rid of this.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

aquilafisher --
I would recommend that you don't waste your time with "Verify." Go straight to "Repair Permissions."
The chances are excellent that you will get that one advisory, and at the end it will say "Repair Permissions Completed."
There are lots of those notations that will seem to us everyday users as an "error." But it's just noted changes.
If after running "Repair" it says "Repair Permissions Could Not be Completed," that's the only time you ned to worry.
And, I totally agree with what Niel said. Sorry, did not see his reply when I poster.

Constantly repairing disk permissions for Spotlight to work

I am constantly having to use Disk Utility and repair my disk permissions in order to get Spotlight to work. Often I'll type something such as an application and the only thing that will show up is the Definition from the dictionary.
Repairing the disk permissions seems to fix the problem, but it doesn't take long before I need to once again go in and repair in order to get Spotlight working again. I've tried dragging the whole hard drive into the exclusions list and then removing it again so the index will rebuild. That also works but again only lasts a short time.
Any help would be much appreciated!

They're entirely different things. A "defragment" operation moves files around to combine split segments of files and consolidate free space. A "repair permissions" operation examines the permissions settings of system files and resets any that seem to be wrong.
Here's what Apple has to say about defragmenting a Mac disk:

Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions

Using Yosemite 10.10.3 , an this is what I see every time I run the Disk Utility. Then I select 'Repair Disk Permissions' but nothing ever gets fixed. Whats the point of the 'Repair' button if nothing ever gets repaired?? Should I not believe the results of 'Verify Disk" either??

Can't repair disk permissions or run Mac Software update application

I tried repairing the disk permissions and received the following error message:
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Got the same error message when verifying the disk permissions. The verify disk option also failed.
Whenever I run this application to check for updates, it just bounces in the dock and disappears. Then I get this error box that says "The application Software Update quit unexpectedly". It then gives me 3 options to "ignore, report, and relaunch".
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for the fast reply. I was able to run the disk utility using the disk. But I got the same errors when I booted back up and tried to run the "repair disk permissions". Plus the "Software Update" program still crashed.

10.5.8 update - no disk permissions now

After installing the 10.5.8 update, I can no longer run Repair Disk Permissions. It just gets stuck on the progress bar forever and ever. Any suggestions? It worked fine prior to the 10.5.8 update.

After restarting and then running it again, it finally worked after about 20 minutes. Normally, it takes about 5 minutes before it starts reporting corrections. But it works, so I just need to be more patient, I guess.

Have you used FontBook to disable some of your fonts? If, in the process, you disable a font the system that an Apple app needs, those apps will not launch but third-party ones will. I suffered this on my desktop machine. I allowed FontBook to "resolve duplicates" and it disabled off some fonts that it shouldn't have. Took a week to figure out what happened.
If you have played with FontBook, you may wish to review this excellent font management article:
