Help understanding what's going on with permissions

This is long and rather complicated, so if you're not in the mood, skip it.
Background:
A few days ago I needed to burn some data to CD. First time since owning the machine (about 1 year). Didn't work. System would not recognize any blank media or mount the volume. I researched this and found a post that suggested using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the HDD. Disk Utility reported quite a lot of wrongly set permissions. (I should have saved the details, but I didn't understand it was possible at the time.) BTW - I had installed the latest system update a couple of days before.
I repaired permissions and it solved the disc burning, but I almost wish I hadn't given what came next. I use GrarageBand a lot. About a week after the update and a couple days after the permissions repair I went to do some work in GB and began experiencing serious data loss: see my thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2789137&tstart=0 for details.
A couple of days after running permissions repair, I'm again seeing wrongly set permissions in Disk Utility. (I saved the report and could post it). If this were Windows, this wiping out of data and silent resetting of permissions would make me think I'd picked up some malware. I do have to run Windows for some of my work, and get files from clients, so I suppose it's possible.
If you're still with me, thank you... on to specific questions!
1. Why so many wrong permissions reported? I don't mess with resetting permissions.
2. Why more wrong permissions reported a couple days after repairing?
3. Could this somehow be involved GarageBand losing sound data files?
4. Could I have some malware going? If so, recommendations as to what to get for it?
Many thanks in advance.

1. Why so many wrong permissions reported? I don't mess with resetting permissions.
Because they are different from what Disk Utility expects. They are not wrong, just different.
When updates come out, they don't necessarily update the mechanism that DU uses to compare permissions. If DU knows something is wrong, it will fix it. If the permissions are different, but DU doesn't know that those different permissions are wrong, it just notes that they differ.
See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
2. Why more wrong permissions reported a couple days after repairing?
Likely, they're not wrong. See answer to 1.
3. Could this somehow be involved GarageBand losing sound data files?
Likely not. Sounds like a problem with the hard drive. I would suggest making sure you have a good backup, then run the hardware tests. Insert the installer disk that came with your mac and hold down the d key while restarting.
4. Could I have some malware going? If so, recommendations as to what to get for it?
Not unless you installed it yourself. The only malware that can affect Mac OS X is a few Trojan's which require you to enter an admin password to install them.

Why does apple make it so difficult to understand what is going on with my one to one?

Does anyone have any answers for this? I don't even know where to list it here as a question.
Just spent over 2 hours, off and on, trying to get someone at apple to help figure out what's going on with my one to one. They give a number for help but there's no one there - only more gibberish about go here go there go all over the place on their site.... So called 'customer service' doesn't understand my question? Another place it says call the store, well that was another waste of time....
If I get a message saying my one to one is expired and then I pay for it via paypal, wait for the activation email. I sure don't want to pay for something I already have - that was my grocery money for 2 weeks.
When I click on that link it says:
Activation error
This membership cannot be activated because this Apple ID is already associated with a One to One membership.

Trying to understand what's going on with my line!

I wonder if someone could help me understand what's happening to my connection.
I've been on adsl2+ for over a month (since being on a very stable adslmax connection). I'm on a long line 62db atten' and connected at 2890 - same as adslmax which I expected.
A week ago my connection was reset ( I was unaware) and now connect at 2271 - noise margin is now 13db - always had a stable 6db with no drops.
The thing I don't get is every time I reboot my router constantly syncs at 2271. Why would it do this? Previously it sync'd at different speeds.
It's as if I'm now on a fixed rate - but still shows as adsl2+.
Spoke to bt but they say I have noise on my line and it's in 'acceptable levels' - which it isn't!
Just want to understand what's going on!
Thanks

since the recent software/hardware updates at certain telephone exchanges, when you reboot the router or turn it off constantly, the exchange you are connected to sees it as a fault, and drops your connection to the lowest level possible. your connection then has to physically be reset by an engineer at the exchange.
this is what hapenned top me. for the last 8 years i have been on bt, always turning my router off at night, when i had finished, or rebooting it if i had a poor line. since june, my connection speed have been abismal, i stopped at 2420 for about a month (half of that the month before) then over a weel, it dropped to as low as 340kbps - on a 20 meg line. after going through the help desk, and "you need a new bt homehub router" event though i did not use theirs, phase, and 2 months of stress, i had an engineer come out on Saturday.
He tested everything (my line is capable of 18.3mb connections). my line was reset ay 8124kbps downstream... 27 hours later, it is on 572kbps, so needs to settle in..allegedly
to get over this, i am using a BTfon zone connection off one of my neighbours, as it is faster...technology - if you are on option 3, then sign up for it now, as things may get worse.
welcome to the world of last wednesday week.

HELP! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY APPSTORE ON IPHONE? IS IT A VIRUS??

On my iphone4, I cant download any more apps until I have updated my security info. They automatically take me to a security info page, there are 5 blank questions i must fill in e.g. whatwas first job I had. but every time I select answer it refreshes the page, so i can never finish updating the security info and thus i cannot download/install any more apps on my iphone.
It is very weird because I already have ONE security question on my apple ID, so why do I need more?
And the fact it refreshes etc worries me that im being hacked/a virus of some sort!!
Please help.
I cannot change my security info anywhere except on my phone it seems?
I tried on my apple ID, but its different, as thats not the same format, it is only one Q, whereas i was asked 5 on my iphone??xxx

Did you try to download apps in iTunes on your computer? If this works, set up your phone as new device without using the latest backup, then try again to download apps on your phone.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Update to latest patched version that no longer relies on Rosetta and PowerPC
Visit www.RoaringApps.com for a list and table of what version is supported, can be updated and which are not.
A year ago this was news.
Hopefully people kept a boot drive with the old OS so they could dual boot for a month or two whiile sorting out the changes and updates.

What is going on with the Iphone4 home button. I see lots of people having issues, but not resolution. I am running 4.2, but based on what I have read, 4.3 does not help. Apple has to do something about this, as it is affecting lots of people.

What is going on with the Iphone4 home button locking up? I see lots of people having issues with the button becoming unresponsive, but no resolution.
Suggestions include:
Upgrade
Restrore
ReSync

etc.
I am running 4.2, but based on what I have read, 4.3 does not help. Apple has to do something about this, as it is affecting a large portion of the user community.

No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

What is going wrong with this config ??

Hello guys,
I am busting my head to find out what is going wrong with this config and cant figure it out since i am not an advanced cisco technician.
Problem is that i cant access the 94.70.142.127 server that is supposed to be in a DMZ zone.
I know it is a bit chaotic but would really appreciate any help since i am running on a deadline.
I am building the config step by step and although it seems to be working access to the server all of the sudden is denied.
No idea if its a NAT issue a firewall issue or a security audit issue.
There are 3 vlans.
Vlan 1 is the inside network.
Vlan 2 is the DMZ server
Vlan 3 is the Management Network.
thanks in advance

Hello karolos,
Here is the thing.
You said you are trying to access 94.70.142.113 and that is a server on the DMZ but based in your configuration that is not true
ip nat inside source static 192.168.0.101 94.70.142.113
So 192.168.0.101 is on Vlan 1 witch is the in-zone
interface Vlan1
description $FW_INSIDE$
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

Hi, all.
Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

What's going on with iCloud 3/11/15?

What's going on with iCloud on 3/11/15? I can't sign in & asked over & over to log in. I need to get into iCloud pages to create a document. Same issues with iTunes.

iCloud appears to be mostly up now, but there's still some issues as reported storage is wrong and attempting to change storage plans results in an error. icloud.com is saying I have no documents or Photos stored, despite the fact there is stuff stored in iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos, both of which are currently working.
I tried calling support, but they couldn't help me without a PIN that you need to get from appleid.apple.com and trying to sign into that site results in an errors, so there are major problems today.

What's going on with U-Verse in South Miami

For the past two months, we have been getting dropped signals (bundled U-Verse and including landline, mobile phone, television and internet) sometimes three times a day. I have had phone calls drop while speaking to my boss, (I work from home) favourite shows will all of a sudden give us that no service screen, which means we lose portions of the dialogue, and the internet stops working. I have not dared to call ATT as frankly the only solution that Customer Service seems to know is "Oh it must be your RG that needs changing." Well that's a load of rubbish since if it's the RG then ATT have some serious problems as I have spoken to at least six people that I know that also have U-Verse and they are all having the same problem, but kept thinking it was just them.
The internet signal has also got painfully slow and since we pay a juicy bill of $315 dollars a month and subscribe to the best package that U-Verse has to offer, I do not expect to have these constant problems. Nobody is perfect, and a little issue once in a while is acceptable, but not two to three times day! In addition... we receive an electronic bill and this has been a very hectic month for me, so realising that today was the 12th and I know that the bill is usually due sometime around this time of the month, and not having received a bill, I went online to investigate. Sure enough - on login to the payment page, it said "past due!" Well send me a bill and I will pay it. I just don't know what is going on with U-Verse but it is very distressing. I believe the saying is that they have, "Gone to ** in a handbasket." On a positive note - we can now apparently fast forward and rewind On-Demand TV shows, and which made no sense before that this feature was unavailable. However... this does not make up for the recent poor service and non-arrival of my electronic monthly bill, ( will have to go back to paper - not cool) and then having the nerve to tell me "past due."
[Per Guidelines: Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].

Chris, As explained, and to be honest I am usually very long-winded and detailed in my explanations because readers miss things, as you might have done in this case. It is not my problem alone. Whenever we have a problem with any utility or especially in the case of ATT services, I always check with anyone that I know that uses the service and over a broad area, not just in my street but anyone I know in an approximate 8 - 10 mile area, to see if our issues are isolated just to us. If they are, then I know that it is most likely a piece of equipment we are using. In this situation, as there have been in others, every single person that I spoke to is experiencing the same situation. And again - this is why I said that I have thrown up my hands in exasperation and usually get another family member to call customer service if there is a problem, as I know exactly what they are going to tell me. "Let us check your line - (you then spend 45 minutes on the phone with them) No... everything seems fine, it must be your RG, you need to buy a new one." Mea culpa - I have no patience or time for scripted c.s. reps. Two years ago, we had a lightening strike that literally struck the ATT box next door. The wires in all the boxes on the street (including the ones in our yard) were fused and black when the box was opened. And yet... when one of my neighbours (who apparently did not connect the lightening strike with the loss of service - sigh... what can I say...) called ATT, they got the same response. "No, we don't see any problems here, it must be your RG." Com'n! It was a lightening strike! And on an aside - the new cable is now still hanging from my backyard fence as they were supposed to come back to bury it. Two years ago... So the dear space-cadet neighbours, paid for a new RG, hooked it up to find there was no reception (ya think?) and to then find out that theirs was just fine, and now there was the hassle of having to package the new one and take it to the UPS store to ship it back, and which is another frustration, because it is not possible to return it to a local store or office. Unlike yours truly, they apparently did not do their research with other users, even though we had no service for over a week. So - by a process of survey and elimination, it cannot be the RG, unless everyone I spoke with is using the same RG. But there have been quite a few changes that we have noticed recently, ranging from new look menus, to those very beautiful images when first turning on the TV. So is it not entirely possible that in all the changes and tweaking, something else has been affected? Look it happens - but I can never understand why they can't just say,"Sorry, we are working on "upgrades" so we apologise but you might experience these little set-backs for a while until we are through." Why always blame it on the RG? Another way to make more money?

What's going on with my fonts?

Does anyone know what is going on with my fonts?!?! When italicised text is shown in Safari (seemingly coded with [em] tags), it gives the following:
!http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/tony_barnes/Picture2.png!
and when I tried to look at the user manual for my new LaCie, this pile of gibberish popped up:
!http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/tony_barnes/Picture3.png!
Any ideas?
I've got boatloads of fonts installed (1500+) and haven't managed to match it to one, nor can I seem to find any settings that may be of help for sorting it out.
Cheers,
Tony

From all the other posts on the forum about deleting Time Phonetic, it doesnt exsist on my mac. So wondering if i am gettng same problem with a different font.
Your problem is different and more difficult, since your Latin is not being replaced by junk characters. I think sometimes it is caused by bad font caches and sometimes by duplicated Latin system fonts. For one possible fix you can check out this:

What is going on with technical support?

I have been on the phone for over 2 hours trying to get ahold of technical support. Then I get disconnected and need to dial back in.
What is going on with technical support? The handful of times when I needed to open a trouble ticket with ADOBE, it was a reasonable amount of time.
I hope this is not an indication of the current direction of the company. I have used Coldfusion for over 8 years and have never had such a horrible experience.

This information is a couple of years old, so I can not vouch for how current it is. But it may be worth a try.

What is going on with the SPAM filtering?

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
What is going on with the SPAM filtering? Works fine for a couple of weeks then suddenly I got slammed with tons of SPAM for a few hours then suddenly the filtering kicks in again. Usually happens late at night and clears up in the morning. Never had this problem until just a couple months ago. It's gotten so bad that I'm about to move everything over to gmail and just stop using Verizon, would rather not do that as I've had the same e-mail address since the Bell Atlantic days.

Since we haven't heard back from you or have received a form submission as requested in your private support case, it appears assistance is no longer required. If you need any future help with your Verizon service, please make a post here on the forums so we can assist..
