Failure to repair disk permissions

Hello fellow Mac users;
I really hope that someone here can help me with my issue.
I was doing some "spring cleaning" and deleted a whole bunch of unneeded files from my Mac, however I did not touch any system files!
When I restarted the Mac after all that it just showed the "thinking screen" the very first one with the Apple Symbol and it just "thought" for about 3 hours without bringing up the log in screen.
So I used my MAC OS X Installation Disk to get to the Disk Utility. I verified the disk and it said that the volume seemed to be okay. However when I tried to repair the disk permissions, I had a drop down window that said "permissions repair failure upon exit" and then in the main window it said the repair disk permissions was complete.
I'm scared now to try another restart and maybe crash my Mac totally! Help!!!
Thank you for any input!

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I recommend saving all personal files including Address Book contacts, Mail accounts etc to an external disk or DVD immediately, at least for peace of mind should your system go down. Your cleaning exercise has likely caused an issue with installed receipts. Have a look in the folder Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts - all *.pkg installations (ie not those you drag-and-drop to install) store a receipt which tell OSX which permissions are required for the application. Disk Utility looks here when repairing permissions. If the names of your programs in /Library/Receipts are still present it's likely cleaning has corrupted the folders boms and db inside this directory. There is really only one option I personally would feel comfortable with, to perform a clean install (not archive and install) of OSX once I had saved my personal data. Don't bother backing up applications, those should all be clean installed as well on a fresh copy of OSX - if you need to remind yourself which 3rd party applications to reinstall afterwards, make a note beforehand including their serial numbers if licensed. If you own a paid-up .Mac account, goto System Preferences/.Mac/sync and select which essentials to back-up to your iDisk for convenient access following the reinstall.
I strongly advise against restarting your machine until you have saved everything you want to keep, should the worst happen.

Repair Disk Permissions Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

Hi All...
any idea about this error when trying to Repair Disk Permissions using "Disk Utility" :
"Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
No repair is made at all! It just stops right after being launched
It happens either when booting on the Leopard CD or on external FW drive...
Cheers guys!!

I've been getting the same thing just after 1 week with this new system!!!
Someone help!!!
It sounds as if you transferred the errors when you migrated your files from the G4. Something in that old filestructure that is not right. It might be the ownership of a single file somewhere.
Have you considered DiskWarrior?

Repair disk permissions

why did upgrading my software to snow leopard cause my 'repair disk permissions' to endlessly fail when it never failed once before? by the way i heard all the debate of how repairing disk permissions is or is not important to do. at this point i'm not interested in opinions of why it's important or not i'm just interested in fixing this now existing problem. my software is all updated. any answers appreciated.

     "If you updated from Tiger, then you are not used to seeing the same Permissions messages repeated. In      Tiger, repairing Permissions didn't endlessly repeat these."
exactly my point, it worked perfectly. it corrected lines that contained characters that affected my disk burner.

just ignore the problem=apple failure
thank you for the info

Apple: Repair "Repair Disk Permissions"

The Leopard version of Repair Disk Permissions is broke. No matter what it is doing behind the screen, it comes up with the chirpy "Repairing Disk Permissions. Estimated time: Less than 1 minute" then proceeds to wait five minutes (on a 160 GB MacBook Pro of recent vintage) before starting to move the bar from its initial, deceptive, 20% fulfilled position.
This performance and feedback flies in the face of Apple's own software behavioral edicts.
After the five-minute wait, it takes an additional 4:30 to move the bar to the end, even when it's the second run on the same drive. The reported times are NEVER accurate, never even approximate until the last 50 seconds.
And don't even get me started with all the reported failures to fix anything that consistently show up every single time.
In five minutes (300 seconds) my computer has the ability to impose 4.4 Billion computational cycles on the task of sorting out whatever ails my hard disk--per second. That's just a TRILLION point three total mathematical operations that might be brought to bear on thinking about what to do before starting to access the disk and fix its errant map of data.
To give that some scale, at one second per math problem, that equals around 42 thousand years. Which ought to be time enough to evolve the program into a more advanced version...

It's an interesting but irrelevant observation.
Disk Repair is not a mathematical operation - it obviously involves many disk reads - often the slowest component on a computer in terms of access times. Should any repairs be required - the system will then write and likely re-read to ensure the write was successful.
You are trying to figure out future events - how long the next action will take based on prior events - sometimes things change that make past performance a poor estimate of future performance.
As for estimating times - I've programmed this - and observed many attempts to do so - few work well or offer estimates anywhere near accurate. Observe the estimated times to complete a download in iTunes or the time to copy a file. I have seen many cases where the estimates said "10 seconds" and I waited minutes for them to complete.

Can I permanently repair disk permissions?

I just ran Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility. There were 41 permission repairs made. I rebooted the laptop, ran Repair Disk Permissions again, and still it came up with 41 permission repairs.
Is there a way to repair the errant disk permissions permanently?
Thanks.

Although it’s immensely popular, repairing permissions is a waste of time unless you have a specific indication of a permission error involving system files, which is rare, or a boot failure. It has traditionally spewed bogus warning messages that mean absolutely nothing. The built-in help for Disk Utility says:
If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.
It’s justifiable, though rarely necessary, to repair permissions after running a third-party software installer, as defective installers have been known to damage the permissions of system files.

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.

Repair disk permissions for an external RAID drive?

Hello,
We are able to repair disk permissions on the hard drive, but can it be done on an external SCCI RAID drive? Is there software that is recommended that will repair and fix issues such as if the RAID drive was improperly removed without ejecting the drive? Or is that not needed?
Thanks,
Jordan

DiskWarrior repairs your directory, throws in some limited optimization (iPhoto's open in half the time is about all really), so if your "directory is out of order" it's not that big a deal really.
It's good to have on the shelf if you have a lot of Mac's, but ever since Tiger rolled around it seemed a lot of directory problems have disappeared on single user machines. It's pretty expensive for it's limited options.
With a RAID O (stripe) setup you should Disk Utility Erase w/Zero before setting up the RAID and laying data down. (in fact this is wise for all new drives at least once)
RAID O's should always be cloned (in the case of a boot RAID O) or backed up quite often because if one drive goes the whole set with data is lost.
Mirroring (RAID 1) is only necessary for extremely valuable one time data captures where a hard drive failure would be awlful. It doesn't make a good backup because any corruption, mistakes etc get immediatly written to the second drive.
Using automated cloning and backup software is better like (search Apple) DeJaVu. Auto clone the whole boot drive once a week and auto backup certain folders of files nightly.
Since cloning I haven't really too much need for drive maintainance software, if my RAID goes down for a data reason, (hasn't yet in 2 years of 24/7 operation) I simply option boot off the clone and repair/recover/reverse clone. I'm done in a hour, I even go out to eat or something while it's reverse cloning.
A good piece of software to have is (search Apple) OnyX, it's automation section will do a lot of cleanup and fixing certain things. Good to run it about once a month.
To find out more about cloning, visit Carbon Copy Cloner forums, they have donationware software too.

"Repair Disk Permissions" keeps showing the same permission differences

After the recent software updates, I suddenly cannot use my eFax Messenger. This happened once before, but I was able to fix the problem by running "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility.
This time "Repair Disk Permissions" did not fix the problem. Not only that, I noticed the same permission differences showing up again and again when I repeated Repair Disk Permissions.
Is the permissions database no longer accurate? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve the permission differences? I notice that others have reported similar issues on this forum, but no definite resolutions have been posted.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

..."As long as the repair ends up with the message 'repairs complete' or words to that effect, you are OK."...
I don't know who started with the "repairs complete means everything is fine" business, but they were wrong and it is repeated far too often by too many people on this site.
Considering all of the messages erroneously being dismissed as "informational", it is ironic that the one message that is actually just "informational" is the one being given special significance.
The "repairs complete" message only means that the process has stopped. Try starting to repair permissions, then immediately click the "Stop permissions repair" button. Try logging in to a non-admin account and start a run -- when a password is requested, cancel. Try repairing permissions when there are problems with the permissions database. You will see messages such as "Stopped by user", "insufficient privileges" or "underlying task reported failure on exit, but in every case, the report will end with the "Permissions repair complete" message.
With respect to the OP's question, the overall "repair permissions" system as it stands in 10.5 has the appearance of an unfinished product (it received major revisions in the transition from 10.4). Without specific details, all anyone can say is that the error messages are likely false positives - except for any true positives that might be present among them.

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:

Can't repair disk permissions, System Updates wont install

Hi there,
I wondered, why any system update wont install on my MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.5. So I tried to repair disk permissions which causes an error that calls something like "there is an error in quitting the process" (sorry ... have only the german version, so this is nearly what it says).
Repairing the permissions from a Leopard DVD ends up the same way.
Repairing the harddisk works fine.
Updating the 10.5.5 Combo Update quits with an error that says "The Installation package couldn't install some of the files in "/". Contact the Manufacturer."
Any ideas what this could be ? Thought it startet a couple of days ago with the installation of a new Java Version, but I'm not sure if this causes any problems.
Thanks for any suggestions

ok,
I've found this in the logfiles:

Error -9972: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Finished verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
Error detected while verifying/repairing permissions on disk0s2 Macintosh HD: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
Repairing the keychains worked fine but didn't solve the problem at all.

New macbook pro, safari won't open and repair disk permissions did nothing to help

Safari starts, blue bar moves about an inch in search bar, then stops. Then nothing. Tried repairing disk permissions to no avail. Safari still doesn't open. Whatever os x that is installed on new macbook pro's, since just bought on Sunday 10-14-12, is the operating software. The apple store there is no user manual. Strange. So here we are on another, older macbook pro, able to go on internet and see what answers or diagnoses others have tried and trued.

3 days old?, just pack the machine up and tell them you want another one, that this one is a lemon.
They will likely take your word for it and just give you another rather than you demand your money back instead.
If you wait too long then they say you should have brought it back sooner, now have to wait until it's fixed, only to give you more problems later.

Constantly having to repair disk permissions after hanging system

From the time I purchased this I've had ongoing issues with the java, flash, OS updates causing the computer to hang forever. Sometimes I end up having to press the off button because Command Q and Command/Option/Escape won't allow a force quit even after a 20 minute wait. I don't know enough about what's going on behind the boot up to know what's wrong. Here is a copy of my console log and this is exactly what they look like each time after I have gone in and done a disk verify, (says it's okay) and then repair disk permissions. I've had to boot to safe mode 3 times today and repair permissions due to this issue. There is nothing plugged into the computer except the power cord. The OS is up to date per Software Update and the only 3rd party software installed is SKYPE ...

Can anyone see the issue or tell me what I need to do to fix this thing???

Which MacBook model? Did it come with OSX 10.6 or did you upgrade it?

I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

Repair Disk Permissions Issues

I'm not sure I am posting this in the correct community but here goes . . .
I have a 17" Macbook Pro running the latest version of Snow Leopard. It is almost 2 years old and I have 4 gb RAM.
Recently, it seems to be slowing down and I have to run repair disk permissions 2-3 times a week to recoup a little speed. I also delete my Firefox cache regularly to try to gain a little there. I do make a few videos in iMovie and initially I thought that was the problem but this week I have not really worked in iMovie much and it is still slow. There seems to be some issues in the log of the repair permissions. I hope they show in this image. I don't know what these mean or how to fix them. It is the "permissions differ" entries I am confused about.

You can ignore those permissions per support article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21090
Since you brought up iMove, I suspect your storage is nearly full as this most certainly causes the computer to slow down. video files are the biggest culprit.
Look in your Activity Monitor and reduce the drive space by copying to a external, Disk Utility HFS+ formatted external powered drive of unnecessary files so your boot drive is ideally below 50% filled (yea I know but the computer slows down after that) and not more than 75% filled.
Once you have done that. Get another newer external powered HFS drive and download the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the internal drive to the external.
Hold option and boot off the external clone, test it out then use Disk Utility to erase the internal and then reverse clone the external onto the internal, this will defragment and optimize your drive so the OS and programs are on the fast part of the drive, not the slow parts.
Reboot into the internal and run off of the free OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.

Sir speedy machine here we come!
Now of course you may have other issues that could be causing your slow down, like not enough RAM or some sort of failed process or leftover program, tweaks or simply a slow Internet.
You can opt to simply reinstall OS X 10.6 ( by holding c and booting off the installer disk ) over your installed version (doesn't touch files or programs) then immediatly Software Updating until clear, that will clean anything hanging out in OS X.
If you still have slowdowns, then it's in what geeks call "User land" basically something installed outside of root, like a program or only runs in user, not in OS X.
For that you need to create a new user, transfer your files via the Shared Drop and wean yourself off the old user and finally delete it. Also install all new versions of your third party programs removing the originals first.
That should do it.
