I have been transfering photos and movies to an external hard drive and when I try and secure trash contents off my computor i get the message it will not continue In utilities the message is: SUID file syst/library/coreS has been modified and will not be repaired. Hence I cannot free up space on my computor. What can i do?
Do not worry. It is probably a permission you should ignore, but you should check that the permission appears in this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
<Subject Edited by Host>I know this question has been sort of answered but not properly in my opinion.
There should be no permissions to repair once they have been repaired.
There should also be no permissions that can't be fixed especailly by Apple.
Many computers have seen this:
"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAge nt" has been modified and will not be repaired."
To me this is not normal even though Apple may say it is.
Not all computers have this so why do some other computers show this problem?
I have fixed this on my computers as I can't stand to have things like this show up when they shouldn't.
I replaced the problematic ArdAgent by using a copy from another computer that did not have that warning.
Once, replaced, I got the message in Disk Utility when I repaired the permissions with this new one:
Permissions differ for:
System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgen t
should be "0" instead of 501 (or something like this)
Then it states those permissions were repaired.
Now I no longer get that stupid warning about the ARDAgent.
For those of you that want to get rid of that warning, try using a copy from another computer running the same system.
Worked for me.
I also repaired a few other permissions that always kept coming back even though Disk Utility said they were repaired.
Hogwash.
If it was repaired then the same exact ones wouldn't be coming back everytime you repair permissions.
In my mind, there should be no permissions to repair once they have been repaired.
Otherwise, they were not fixed or repaired in the first place.
I now no longer have any permissions to repair unless I may install something new that might need repair.
Good luck with your mileage.
This is how Disk Utility should look like without any permissions to repair once you have repaired them one time, and one time, only.
Clean bill of health. -
I imporeted my library from an old desktop that lost internet connectivity about a year ago. I haven't been able to update iTunes since then. I put it on an external hard drive and iTunes 11 won't open it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...

I am trying to free up space on my internal hard drive (MacBook Air). I copied my iTunes TV shows onto an external hard drive, following all instructions carefully. They were all there on the external drive - I opened a few and they played perfectly. I then went back into iTunes and deleted the shows, then emptied trash. When I went back into my external hard drive, all the TV shows had disappeared! Am now in process (yawn) of downloading the shows again onto my laptop, rather defeating my object of freeing up space. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?
Hello Janeburows,
You might have setup your iTunes in such a way that you store your Media files on your External Hard Drive and if that is the situation then whenever you delete anything permanently from your iTunes on your Computer when the External Drive is connected then the Content will get deleted from your External Hard Drive. To verify the Location for the Media files which you have on iTunes do the following.
Open iTunes > Preferences> Advanced and you will see it under iTunes Media Folder Location

I have a just bauht a new laptop as my old one was packed up. I use my external hard drive to store all my itunes music. I had baught a few albums on itunes . I attached my external hard drive and consoldated them to my external hard drive but my itunes is all in icloud not only that my ipod does not have the new tracks that I baught on it. What do I need to do. all I want is when I attached my external hard drive that itunes knows this and that they dont be in icloud and that my ipod puts my new albums on to it.
Did you put the library on the external drive, or just the media folder. See this migrate iTunes library post for the way this ought to be done and recovery tips for when it is no longer possible.

Hi when I started my intel based imac this morning all I am getting is a folder with question mark in the middle flashing,I have external hard drive with backup,but when run disc utilities it does not show my mac hard drive.hope someone can help.(it's running mountain lion, well it was)
Try starting up your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
The question mark folder indicates your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac -
I recently restored my laptop with Windows 7 and imported my iTunes library from my external hard drive. When I try to play songs, it says it cannot and that the original file could not be located. How do I fix this?
Put the files back where iTunes expects them to be.

How can I access this file so that I may repair it? Left unrepaired . There are a lot of files that do not have the correct code. They are one thing but should be another
Hello there, toestothenose.
It seems that you may not have gotten the entire message into your thread here, but the following Knowledge Base article offers a good resource on which messages from Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions can be safely ignored:

What to do about error msg in Disk Utility on MacBook Air:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/Core/Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDA gent"has been modified and will not be repaired.”As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
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 onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx

my dvd player is not working when i try disk Utility i get this massage Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Is this bad?
No. Ignore it.
What does this mean?
That you have the current OS version installed.
As far as I know, I have not installed any Remote Access software on my Mac.
It's part of the OS.

I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?
Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.
