How do I fix this disk permission problem?

I use Disk Utility frequently. My iMac was shipped by a friend and got jostled so I rarely restart the machine. The internal DVD drive stopped working. I bought an external DVD drive that works fine. I was afraid the motherboard might be the problem, not the internal drive itself. Since getting the machine, I did a clean install of Snow Leopard. Everything seems to be working fine but when I use Disk Utility this always happens- I have lots of wrong disk permissions, always the same ones. It takes about 15 minutes to do a whole scan. Here is what it shows- all having to do with Java- and the final problem is always the same-"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired":
Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?
Thank you

How do I fix the iTunes permission problem - album folder is read-only?

Hi,
When I imported music files from Windows iTunes library, I set iTunes to copy the files to its own library folder and had "keep music folder organized" checked. So it creates a folder for each album by the album name. But recently since last time I ran the "repair permission" from DIsk Utility, every time I change album name, I lose the access to the folder. The permission is set to read-and-write for "system" instead of "me". So I can no longer edit the song (tag). But the rests of the folders and main iTunes library are just fine (with read-and-write permission to "me"). My account is admin.
I figured out a workaround for the problem. I can copy the folder to a location I own (such as desktop), then bring it back to iTunes to replace the folder. But I certainly don't want to do that every time I change album names. How do I fix the problem? Running permission repair does not help.
My mac experience started on the day Leopard was released, so please help.
Thank you.

You should be able to select the folder, Get Info (command-I, the command key is the one with the Apple and the funny squiggly thing next to the space bar). At the very bottom of the Get Info box is Sharing and Permissions. You may have to click on the triangle to open up that section. You should be able to change permissions from there if you have admin access. You may also need to click on the little padlock in the lower right and put in your password before you can make changes. If you want to apply the changes you made to folders inside the folder, click on the little button with the gear on it and select Apply to enclosed items.
Best of luck.

How do i fix this billing account problem?

I just got my bank card updated, received it in the mail today and when i put in the activated card in my billing account iTunes said i need a proper code. i typed everything and click done and it said the same thing again, there's no button next to the billing card info to remove the card information to switch to gift card as well.

I soon realize that to fix the billing account problem was to redo my card information save, go back on it again found the none button on the end of the creditcard and paypal logo's, i clicked "none" then clicked save, it did give me an error at first but then i just went back clicked none again clicked save and i no longer have this billing issue anymore.

How do I fix this restrictions passcode problem?

It has been two days since I posted this discussion. I have gotten over 80 views but not a single reply. I am just wondering why. Is the discussion to long? Have I violated some rule? Some changes have been made to make things a little clearer. I am sincere about this and want to make what ever correction is necessary. Plus I really do need help.
I recently bought a iPhone 3gs from a friend. AT&T was the phones carrier so in order to use it on the carrier of my choice I had it unlocked and activated the phone with my carrier (actually straight talk) on a AT&T compatible SIM card. All of my friends settings and contents had been successfully erased and the phone was operating good. I have run into a problem though and I am hoping once again that someone can point me in the right direction towards a solution.
Here is the problem:
I attempted to sync my phone with iTunes on my computer and a screen came up asking me how i wanted my phone to be treated, like a new iPhone or to back up an existing one (not sure how it was worded). My reasoning was that it is not a new phone, so not understanding the consequences of these options I chose "back up an existing one." Well, the result is that although I can still make and receive calls and send texts, all of my settings and contents have been erased and replace with my friends old settings and contents. Now, I cannot and never could erase settings and contents from the phone because it is and was passcode protected and my friend has forgotten the restrictions passcode. When I had my phone set up after it had been unlocked and activated, I did it through itunes for that reason. But now I am back to having a restrictions passcode and I cannot erase anything. Now each time I try to restore my phone through iTunes, the only thing that happens is that it updates the iOS.
What I want to do is erase it and start fresh. Not sure how to do that now and would really appreciate the help.

How do I fix this media consolidation problem?

FCP X - Latest version
I have nine projects where all the media used is from one event except one graphic file (JPEG) that was cut and pasted from a project which accessed this grahic from another event. Then the same title was cut and pasted throughout all nine projects (so many uses of it!
Is there a way to consolidate this so that the JPEG comes into the one event that seves all nine projects or do I have to sonsolidate all the projects and end up with a new event for each prpject. This seems clumsy - or am I missing smething.

Use the organize event files function.

The problem started a few weeks ago with a small decrease in speed, and the videos now crash while the sound remains normal. When I open the Finder or any file it seems that I'm opening the windows with the hourglass spinning. I've already cleaned temporary, removed everything that was saved on the table, I made up for the mountain lion. I have a Mac 27-inch, 3.06 GHz processor Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8. With space on the HD.

Download folder not working, how do I fix this?

I am computer-dumb.
But I use one, and need to figure this problem out.
When I open an email that has a word attachment or something, I used to just click on it, and my downloads folder would appear and I would open the document from the downloads folder.
Now, when I click the attachment, the download folder appears, and the bar that shows downloading occuring, flickers on the folder for about 2 seconds, and then disappears. THe download folder shows nothing.
If I dig through my finder application, I can find the attachment that I want, and open it from there, but this takes too long.
How can I fix this download folder problem?
Help please.
THanks!

You could try this:
Control-click the attachment, and select the Open Attachment option to view it.
You can also drag the attachment to your Desktop and then open it.

After software update I can't drag from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

After software update I can't drag songs from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!

I keep getting error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found" every time I start up my computer. How can I fix this

I recieve this message every time I start my computer, AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. How can I fix this?

No problem.
You can either get it via Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... it'll appear in the "New programs" section) or by downloading an installer from the following page on the Apple Website:

My sound suddenly stopped working, how do i fix this?

my sound suddenly stopped working after i unplugged my headphones, how do i fix this?

Common problem.
Check the headphone port - if you can see a red light, the port is still live, cutting off the internal speakers.
The cause is a little leaf switch that is pushed over by the jack when you insert it. Sometimes these stick.
Try inserting and removing a jack a few (dozen) times.
If that doesn't free it you may attempt to tease it with a slim non-conducting tool (like a toothpick). Ensure the Mac is not only shut down, but unplugged if you try this.
And be careful; the leaf is fragile and it's an expensive bit to get to and replace, in fact on some models it's directly on the logic board.

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

I just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

i just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

How do I fix this disk permission problem?
