ITunes Resource files seem to always need permissions repair.

Hey All,
The subject says it all; when doing a permissions repair, Disk Utility finishes with a very long list (31 pages) of iTunes files and resources that have been repaired. This includes files in differing languages (Dutch, English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish) as well as CD settings (I don't burn CD's with iTunes). Many other file types are included in the list.  This happens repeatedly. Seemingly everytime that I do a permissions repair.
On the last permissions repair, there were also a couple of iChat files and a Java file (not that it makes any difference, but I'm sure someone would ask).
iTunes version 11.1 (126)
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I just saw this post:

  • Secure.log always need permissions repaired?

    If I ever have any permissions to repair on both my iMac and Macbook pro its always this:

    Determining correct file permissions.
    Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r-----
    What is the secure.log and is there an action I can prevent this from re-occuring?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Where are the iTunes update files kept? I need to delete them all.

    As it says on the tin.
    I have found articles about removing update files on Macs, but not Windows.
    WAIT!
    %appdata% > Apple Computer > Itunes
    Thanks!

    It depends on how you have iTunes Preferences set. The default is that when you drag files into the Music list they are copied into the library (so now you have two copies). You can change this so that all the iTunes Library contains is a references to the files - effectively an alias. Obviously if you move the files, iTunes can't find them.
    In your case, if your iTune/iTunes Music folder and the album folders inside it contain actual music files then the files outside the iTunes folder are duplicates and can be removed. If the files are simply references, and thus very small, then you can't remove the actual music files.
    The quick test is to close iTunes and remove them temporarily. Then open iTunes and see whether your songs play. Scroll through the list looking for the small i in a circle sign to the left of the title which indicates it can't find the file. If you don't find any then you are safe to get rid of the duplicate files.
    In doing all this do not tamper with anything in the iTunes folder.

  • SUID file warning with Snow Leopard permissions repair

    I get this whenever I repair permissions on SL
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Does anyone know what it means ?

    I never found the need for these fine forums before -from my '94 Powerbook 500C thru my '04 iMac G4- but now I've upgraded to a tricked out 'new' 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard I'm running into bugs, left, right and centre. Here's what I've got to share:
    Aside from the now infamous Bluetooth issue, I just ran into the following two thread relevant warnings after running DU in an attempt to find out why my infrared Apple Remote won't work.
    *Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.*
    and
    *Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.*
    From googling around it seems that these are nothing new for the Mac Daddy, dating back several years so I'm not holding my breath for Apple to step up to the plate.
    Has anyone run anything like DiskWarrior or Drive Genius instead of Disk Utility to try and resolve this? I'd give it a go myself but since I'm still feeling my way around my new rig I'm a bit leery of being a lab rat myself.
    I'm only three days into playing with all my new toy. What next? Oh well, at least I have company in my misery and we all know how compatible they are. I'm happy to make your acquaintance ladies and gentlemen.

  • Need to Repair Disk Permissions Everyday? Same errors each time.

    I have a White MacBook 4,1 - 2.1 Ghz 3 MB Cache, 800 MHz Bus. It seems like I need to repair the permissions everyday. Every time I do I get the exact same errors, when I start up off the Mac OS X dvd I get no errors under repair disk, but the same errors under repair permissions.

    Permissions repair complete
    Anyone know what's wrong?

    There is no error. You could repair permissions continuously and these same notifications will show up.
    Recent updates to iPhoto, Front Row, and an update for RAW compatibility have resulted in these permissions differences. Rather than replacing the old permissions with a new one, the system sees a symbolic "link" (the L you see in front of the permissions).
    Nothing is wrong with your machine--we're all getting these notifications. Hopefully a system update will change the permissions for us in the future.

  • .xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

    I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

  • Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files

    I get this error when trying to merge several files into one PDF document. The files are a mix of JPG, PDF and DOC (Word 2003 running under Windows 7). It fails with the Word file but converts the rest. Where do I find the missing resource files?
    I have tried the repair option that comes up with the error message, and also a complet uninstall and re-instll, to no avail.

    Not sure if that is the problem. I am using the 32 bit version of Windows 7. From what I've seen elsewhere this is a fairly common problem as it has been reported in association with other things in Adobe programs. Adobe is noticeably silent on the issue!
    Thanks anyway.

  • PErmissions repair says done, but second repair shows same issues

    After I repair permissions, a list of repaired files is shown and "Permissions repair complete". I decided to run it again immediately just on a lark. The same list of files appeared and the same "Permissions repair complete". I booted to the Leopard install DVD and ran permissions repair -- twice -- same issue. I know an Archive install will fix it, but any other suggestions? Use Pacifist to extract and replace the troubled files?

  • HT3847 Using 'Grand Perspective' to see my files, I have both iTunes media and iTunes music files.  It seems I have 'organised' my media, but should or need there still be both types of files?  I am running out of HD space and thought, maybe, 'merging' .

    I'm trying to free up disk space.  When I look at my files using 'Grand Perspective' (Like 'Disk Inventory X'), I see songs in both iTunes music and iTunes media files.  I'm wonder if there is some kind of duplication between them.  Could I find HD space by doing something with these files?  I've already 'organised' them using the iTunes library feature.  But I note that it seems that organizing could leave the old (?) files in their 'original place'.  That sounds to me like duplication.
    I'm not at all a 'techie' so don't know where to go from here.
    Henry

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • How Do I Get Rid of Files that Always Lose Permissions?

    Seem to be having numerous system problems lately and in working through these, I'm rebuilding permissions frequently
    What I see are pretty much the same files over and over whose permissions "differ." Many of these files seem to refer to resources for languages other than the one I typically use (English), such as:
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Italian.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/Spanish.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
    System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/French.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Japanese.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    These aren't the ONLY files whose permissions need to be fixed but the files mentioned above show up over an over again.
    The question is - do I need these files to begin with? If they're optional, how do I get rid of them?
    Thanks for any help offered.

    However, if you'd like to elaborate on the problems that you were experiencing, some of us may be able to offer more advice.
    It began with having QuarkXpress (ver 8.5.1) freeze EVERY time I Quit the app. Occasionally, Photoshop (CS5) would also unexpected quit. Went 'round and round with that - the crash reports always seemed to mentioned Suitcase (a font management program) so I got rid of that application. Photoshop is more stable but Quark still chokes every time.
    Next I noticed a huge system degradation whenever Time Machine was doing a backup. I use it wirelessly due to the location of the Time Capsule relative to my computers. Specifically, applications would slow down so much that they often froze. I opened an Apple discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3624170 on that and received helpful advice. In that process, I reinstalled system software via the Combo Update.
    When I was able to diagose the Time Capsule hardware, found there to be a problem which was repair via Disk Utility.
    HOWEVER - even after all of these things, I'm still experiencing applications hanging up / freezing entirely ... often, still, while Time Machine is backing up, but not always ... if I must Force Quit applications, it often leads to the Finder getting hung up as well and if I choose "Restart" everyone on my desktop disappears except the wallpaper then the system just sits there.
    Can't tell you how often I've had to shut off the CPU using the button on the front. Hate doing that but I don't have much choice at that point.
    So there's my sorry tale. If you can make sense out of any of it, I would be eternally grateful.

  • "insufficient privileges to access this directory C:/Program Files(x86)/iTunes/iTunes.Resources/nb.Iproj."

    I'm using a Windows 8 laptop and I updated my iphone 4s software to IOS7 and of course my itunes needs updating, but when I go to update it is in vain because it comes up with the message that the installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:/Program Files(x86)/iTunes/iTunes.Resources/nb.Iproj.
    and the installation cannot continue. I have tried changing the security permissions on this file which doesn't let me as it asks that I need Read Permissions etc...
    Has anyone encountered this issue, I've looked online but nothing helps for my situation

    If you can't delete the .lproj folders try renaming them or deleting/renaming a parent folder, i.e. \iTunes\iTunes.Resources or \iTunes.

  • Bnoir i need your help! Folder path itunes.resources invalid character

    Hey all,
    I am trying to update a previous install of itunes, and get an error (with no error number) that says: "The folder path Itunes.resources contains an invalid character" followed by another popup error: "Problem with shortcut: fatal error during installation". I get the same error when trying to remove itunes in the control panel add/remove utility. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    thanks in advance.

    "Invalid character" messages usually seem to indicate that some of your registry entries are pointing to a different disk location than the files/folders referenced in the message are actually on.
    I've got a link to specific instructions for these messages when they reference the "My Pictures" directory. However, rather than initially trying to adapt those to the itunes.resources case, let's see if we can instead get past this using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
    let's try the following procedure.
    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

  • I have an older version of itunes on my L drive.  Everytime I try to download the newest version I get the error itunes.resources is not a valid short file name.  Now I obtained an iphone and cannot sync the phone to my account because it wants me to upda

    I have an older version of itunes on a separate drive.  Everytime that there has been an update to itunes it will not let me update.  Now I purchased an iphone and I hooked the phone up to the computer and it tells me I need to install the latest version of itunes.  I downloaded to try it, but I keep getting an error message that says itunes.Resources is not a valid short file name.  What can I do from here?

    That is a new one on me.

    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
