I'm frequently having to repair permissions to get internet access

I have using 10.4.11, using an ethernet adapter for wireless - which is working fine, green light and all. But then out of nowhere - after 10 minutes or so - the net connection stop working. I got my network settings on IP4, sometimes re-enter manually and have it set at DHCP w/manual (the adapter has a fixed IP it needs, apparently) trash stuff in my systemconfiguration file as recommend by BDAqua before .....
but what seems to do the trick is repairing permissions and rebooting. everytime I repair permissions, I get this message:
Determining correct file permissions.
Group differs on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist, should be 80, group is 502
Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Permissions corrected on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
I am tired of having to put in all this time, just to get back to normal, especially since I seem to have to do it every half hour. I understand it has something to do with a Security Update, but I would love to know the long-term fix.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. If you don't hear from me for a while, I may be I'm not connected to the internet!

Let's try more at once...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, trash these files...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

Reboot once more, and set it up again.

  • Continually having to repair permissions

    Until a couple of months ago, I ran 10.6 on my MacBook Pro (late '09). As time went by, I had to go to Disk Utility and repair permissions more and more often, after running into sluggish performance, freezes or the system simply not restoring after it gone into hibernation. After awhile, I was having to do it at least bi-weekly. Finally I upgraded to 10.9 (10.9.3 at the moment), hoping it might fix whatever is ailing my system, but now I'm having to repair permissions at least weekly, including just now. I'm at a point where I'm thinking maybe I should rebuild my system, but of course, I'd like to avoid that. I've done some searching through the communities but haven't seen anything exactly like this situation. I'm wondering if anyone may have ideas, based on their experience, what may cause this kind of situation?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance/ideas ...

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

  • When I Try to Repair Permissions I Get a No Valid Packages Message

    When I try to repair the disk permissions on my startup disk I get a message that states no valid packages. This happens wether I repair or verify or wether im booted into Mac OS X or the Install Disc.
    If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to answer.
    Thanks!

  • Repairing permissions again

    I'm having trouble repairing permissions with disk utility. It's these permissions that won't seem to repair if you have any suggestions I would appreciate them.
    Thank you, Jack.

    Unless you are having problems with your Mac, there is no reason to repair permissions repeatedly. You can ignore the messages, nothing to be concerned about. Repairing permissions is used for troubleshooting.

  • Repairing Permissions A Lot

    Seems like my MBP is having to repair permissions quite a bit. Probably done it about 3 times in the last week and a half.
    It appears to be related to Java. I'd attach a screen shot if I knew how.
    Any idea why I'm doing a lot of permissions repair? I know that my Daylite program is the cause for a bit of it but there's GOTTA be some other cause here.
    Thanks

    Just yesterday I tried to 'Repair Disk' and it prompted me that I had to Repair Disk from the install disk.
    You can't repair the current boot drive. You can only repair your normal system drive by booting up from a different drive with Disk Utility on it, such as the Mac OS X install disk. This is normal, and does not indicate any problems.
    The question is, what exactly did you do, because you can't click the Repair Disk button in Disk Utility when the current boot drive is selected. If you clicked Verify Disk and it told you this, then that means your drive is damaged and needs to be repaired. [Follow the instructions here.|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]
    I wish I had some description of problems for you but I don't. Can I post a log or something?
    A log is not necessary, but accurate information about what problems you're having, what you did and what messages you were given is a requirement if you want better than a guess at a solution.

    Thanks for responding V.K.,
    I am not familiar with running terminal commands but am anxious to do so.
    Let me add a little info that may help decipher my problem.
    I had a problem prior to repairing permissions as follows.
    Startup was taking about 7 minutes.
    When starting it would give Apple logo with spinning bars longer than usual. Then it would delay as if locked up on the blank white screen. Then open normally. However it locked up on variety of apps and at times the curser would not function from either the mouse or the touchpad. I also noticed that some keys would not function either from the computer keyboard or the Apple wireless keyboard. The space bar was one inoperable key and the ‘e’ & ‘n’ keys.
    I ran DiskWarrier and it showed 20% fragmentation. I have never seen more than 4% in many years with Macs. After clearing the fragmenting back to '0' I checked all files, etc.
    I then ran repair permissions which showed many in need of repair but no help on startup. I then reset PRAM. After resetting it cleared up the slow startup but the permissions are persistant.
    And that is when I turned to discussions for help.
    Having to do with user ID I wonder if it could be from outside my home??
    I have a secure network password protected using AirPort 'n' series.

  • Repair Permissions: "System/Library/CoreS ... will not be repaired" ?

    I just installed the Safari update and the accompanying update and now when I run Repair Permissions I get this message:
    WARNING: SUID FILE
    "System/Library/CoreS .. has been modified and will not be repaired".
    What does this mean?
    (I have not yet received or installed my upgrade to upgraded to Mountain Lion.)

    What does this mean?
    Nothing. Why are you repairing permissions? What problem are you having?

  • Lion Disc Utility won't repair permissions

    I purchased a MacBook Pro that came with Snow Leopard loaded.  I was given a free Lion upgrade, which I downloaded. When I ran Disc Utility to repair Permissions I get a long list of "library" errors that are supposedly repaired. However, when I ran it again to verify the repair, all of the errors were back. I did this 4 times, restarting twice, then called Apple who walked me through the repair and it still didn't work.
    I surmise the errors are the result of loading Lion over Snow Leopard since my Mac Mini that came with Lion doesn't have the problem.  Are these library errors anything to worry about?  Anyone know if Apple's working on the problem?
    Thanks,
    Linda

    here you go .... This makes the 7th time I've "repaired permissions" and I get the same list each time.

  • How come I always get the same results when I repair permissions?

    When I repair permissions I get the following messages, even if I do it again immediately afterwards:
    +Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .+
    +Repaired "usr/share/derby".+
    +Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+

    The message about the ARDAgent is the result of an Apple update to Apple Remote Desktop from awhile ago. If you ran the update, you will get the notice. The "derby" message says that instead of a folder in the /usr/share directory there is now a symbolic link. Since derby is a java gizmo for the Apache web server, and there is a new Java update from Apple (which I haven't run yet, as it requires a restart), it is quite possible that the update makes that change. As Barney noted, Apple has not been good at making changes in the permissions database when they send out updates. The result is that we begin to see these little notes. Initially the database was in complete accord with what the installation had, and there were no warnings at all in Snow Leopard. After the ARD update the SUID warning began, and it is likely the Java update just added another one.
    However, the tendency of people to just automatically ignore all warnings all the time, a legacy of the horrible performance of Apple in updating the database in Leopard (where one would get dozens of these things), is I think unfortunate. There can be real errors, some of which could indicate something bad, such as a compromised computer. One really needs to stop and think about which files are showing a warning, and what the warning means, and whether it is the case that all Snow Leopard installations that are fully updated are showing the particular warnings in question.

  • Repair permissions results

    Every time I repair permissions I get a lot of results (pasted at the bottom of this message)
    How come I get the same results each time ie: once it's repaired them why do they come up again if I immediately repeat the 'repair permissions'?
    The first ones to do with widgets are probably because I have Konfabulator installed.
    But the rest of them I don't know why they are appearing.
    Is everything OK ??

  • Crash after capture from tape, have to repair permissions to re-open FCP.

    Final Cut 6 installed on 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Whenever I try to capture from a camcorder the computer locks up at end of capture and I have to repair permissions to get FCP opened again.
    Doesn't happen when capturing from a hard drive or card.
    Really killing me time wise.
    Anyone else ever see this?

    Hi Spudsy,
    Does this happen with one particular camcorder, if so which make and model is it. Also are you using capture now or log and capture.

  • Warning Message when Repair Permissions

    When I "Repair Permissions" I get the following warning: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Does anyone know what this means?

    That means that a recent version of Apple Remote Desktop is installed. Ignore it and any of these other messages.

  • Repairing permissions - never repairs

    Whenever I repair permissions, I get the list below of stuff that has been repaired:

    However, I don't think they have been repaired since these items show up every time I repair permissions.
    Does anyone know why this is so and how I can repair these permissions for good?
    Thanks!

    There are lot of things behind the scenes that change permissions, things that only the engineers know.
    And they are not necessarily errors . . . They're more like notations.
    At the end of your messages, does it say, "Repair permissions complete?"
    If so, you're fine.  You can ignore them.
    You should only be concerned if it says "Repair Permissions could not be completed."

  • Error repairing permissions

    when I try to repair permissions, I get an error message that says
    Error: No valid packages
    what happened?
