Mac OS X needs to repair Library Error

I've been getting this error repeatedly when I try to open files.  "Repair" never works.  Looking for help.  Some screen shots below.  (I guess copying and pasting the screen shots is not working. How do I do that?)

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

  • After 10.8.3 update issues that I need to repair library, does any one know what to do?

    Hello, I am getting a window only on my network user account that says Mac OS X needs to repair library to run application, it glocks up app store, reminders, contacs, note pad, etc, can anyone help, thnks in advance

    This just worked for me:
    Fixed it! Seems to be a permissioning problem in the Library folder.  This is what I did
    Open Finder
    Go -> Go to Folder -> ~/Library
    Get Info on the Library folder
    Set the permissions as follows:
       <username>(Me): Read & Write
       everyone: No Access
    You should have just these two.  If there are any other account or group names remove them.
    Click on the little gear and select 'Apply to enclosed items...'
    It will take a while to go through the entire library and change the permissions.  After that everything worked properly, for me at least.

  • Try to open a video, then told I need to repair library

    One of the non-admin users is having trouble with Quicktime (I think). Just started yesterday.
    When we click on a video to play it, the following message pops up:
    "Mac OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this."
    Then there are two fields below the message for me to type the name and password.
    When I do this, nothing seems to happen. The error message goes away, but there is no indication that the "Library" is being repaired. If I try to open a video again, I get the same error message. I even tried waiting a couple of hours and then rebooting, but I still get the error message.
    If I try to open Quicktime directly from the launchpad, I get the same error message.
    This only happens with one user. The other two are not affected.
    It seems that every other application runs fine.  Just can't open Quicktime.
    Any suggestions?

  • Constantly receiving error message "Mac OS X needs to repair your libary to execute applications"

    Since few days I am constantly receiving a pop up error message saying that Mac OS X has to repair the libary in order to start programs.
    It is requesting to enter admin password and offers REPAIR or CANCEL.
    I am running latest version OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    Entering admin account and clicking REPAIR lets me carry on for about 10-15 sec.
    Clicking CANCEL lets the pop up appear again afer 3-4 sec again.
    Anybody having similar experience or any ideas what is going on and how to correct?
    Thanks,

    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.

  • Mac OSX "Application Launch Failure" shared library error

    Any ideas on how to fix this?  Fixing preferences does not help.

    You can try to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.8 combo update Intel or PPC.
    Anyway, this is symptomatic of hard drive failure and needs repair (changing the hard drive).
    Why reward points ?

  • Mac os 10.9.2 "needs to repair my library" with a repetitive message. Now won't let me mail anything.

    After giving my account all access privileges to its home folder including the folders within, I was able to get my desktop picture back, I could see the computer icon on the screen, and the annoying never ending "OS 10 needs to repair your library. Type in a your password..." message went away.
    Now I can't use my mail functions. How could Apple have released this OS system? HELP.
    In Mail, it asks for a Keychain password-one that i don't use here at my job, and then it doesn't allow you to type anything. I don't have such an account anyway.
    I know there is an update 10.9.3, but I'm afraid of jumping out of the  frying pan into the fire. Will the update address these issues?

    Try two things just to make certain that there are no problems with your hard drive. Do you have your original install disc that came with your Mac? If so boot from it and run Disk Utility to both verify and repair permissions. Then verify your hard drive - if errors are found, repair them.
    Note that this may not fix your problem, but it will eliminate a corrupt disk.

    You will need to try and repair the drive with Disk Warrior. Otherwise, the only option is to reformat the drive. Note that DW may not be successful in fixing all the errors, and you may end up having to reformat anyway.
    It may be possible to fix the problem manually, but it's quite involved. Here's the info:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25770
    Manually fix Overlapped Extent Allocation Errors without Disk Warrior
    Overlapped overlapped extent allocation errors can be the bane of any Mac user's existence. Often, these errors go unnoticed until the problem becomes visible: your Mac might refuse to boot, crash unexpected, or worse, critical data might disappear from the Finder. Disk Utility can detect, but not fix overlapped extent allocation errors, and certain third-party utilities, such as Alsoft Diskwarrior, can fix them, but generally without reporting the consequences.
    Overlapped extent allocation error occur when the file system thinks that two files are occupying the same area on the hard disk, hence overlapping on the same "inode," which is the structure which holds the location of the data blocks the file occupies, and also file permissions and flags.
    Clearing the "overlapped" or "overallocated" extent allocation essentially means that you'll have to lose some data, because the only way to remove the overlap is to delete the file that's occupying the inode. So, if you suspect, or find out, that the guilty file is a critical system file that resides in one of the hidden system directories such as /etc /var /usr/ or visible system directories such as /System or /Library, and you don't want to reinstall the whole OS (which might not fix the overlapped extent allocation anyway), it's good to have another disk available to copy the files back to your original disk if necessary: a second bootable hard drive or a firewire drive connected to your Mac when you remove the misbehaving file. Just make sure that when you copy the file back to your boot disk that the permissions are correct, so it's best to use the "ditto" command, so that all sticky bits, flags, and permissions are preserved.
    In case you didn't know, you don't have to boot from an install CD in order to check for overlapped extent allocations. All you need to do is restart your Mac, while holding down command + S to boot in "single-user mode."
    At the command prompt that appears, type:
    $ fsck -fy
    If you have an overlapped extent allocation, you'll see:
    "Overlapped Extent Allocation" (File 123456d)
    No matter how many times you run fsck -fy, you'll never be rid of the error.
    So, simply issue the following command:
    find / -inum 123456 -print
    Note the "d" was dropped, or any extra letter that appears after the inode number.
    The find will return a file name that matches with the inode number, and the path to that file. If you remove the file then the fsck will not return this error next time you run it.
    However, before you can delete the file(s) in single-user mode, you'll need to mount the file system. Type:
    $ mount -uw /
    When done, issue the "sync" command, and that will flush the write cache so that all pending writes are written from memory to the disk. Also, since most OS X 10.3 Macs use the HFS+ Journaled file system, it might be a good idea to disable the journal before booting into single-user mode by typing:
    $ sudo diskutil disableJournal /
    then re-enable it when done fixing the overlapped extents and rebooting normally:
    $ sudo diskutil enableJournal /

  • 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.
    This is what I get:
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Reading permissions database.
    Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

    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.

  • Random Kernel Errors and need to repair disk

    After trying to partition for Bootcamp, the computer locked into a Kernel error. I went to validate the disk and discovered that I need to repair the disk. I have tried booting from my OSX installation disk to access the repair disk functionality. I receive a kernel error each and every time I try to boot from disk. Details as follows - please advise.

    The installation DVD is from another Mac, but is also Mac OSX 10.6
    Is it required that I use the exact disk that shipped with my computer? (Go figure, it's in Minneapolis, I'm in Atlanta...).
    The DVD however is in no way scratched or dirty. I will run the hardware test and report back.
    Thank you for the leads.

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If that doesn't help...
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open AW6.

  • 'OS X needs to repair...' - Creative Cloud dir error

    I have recently updated to Mavericks (dreading the response now!) and my MacPro is now in a constant cycle of error messages stating:
    'OS X needs to repair your library to run applications. Type in password to allow this,'
    - which I do and nothing happens.
    I also have an error:
    'Error starting Creative Cloud
    cookies dir: cannot make folder /cookies: Permission denied (error 13)'
    Please can someone advise. And of course, it's ridiculously urgent.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Aperture repaired library, now it says there's an error in the library and doesn't open it

    I'm running Aperture 3.2.3, and the following happened:
    I'm keeping my library on an external harddrive. As I had the library open in Aperture, the external hardrive got accidentally disconnected. I quit Aperture, reinserted the external harddrive, and reopened the library. Aperture told me that it detected inconsistencies in the library and that it would repair it. After finishing the repair process on the library, I tried to open it and got the following message: Warning, there is an error in the database of the library, and only gives me the option to quit the program.
    What can I do?

    Hold down the option and command keys while you start Aperture this will open the library repair window. Select Repair Library, see if that clears the problem.
    BTW what format of the external disk that the library is on?
    regards

  • I have iPhoto 11, 9.4.1 installed. When my library was upgraded, I got a message the photos couldn't be imported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no longer drag them to the photo stream.

    I have iPhoto 11, version 9.4.1 installed. When my library upgraded, I got a message that the photos couldn't be inported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no oonger drag them to the photo stream.

    Disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's preferences and then go back and reenable it. See if that will jump start the process.  If that doesn't help try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
