Macbook Pro Repair Disk Permission

I'm getting this message when I run my repair disk permissions on disk utility:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
Any idea on how to fix this?

There are two ways to fix it.
1. Don't repair permissions. It's a waste of time unless you have a specific reason to do it, which you almost certainly never will.
2. If you can't resist the urge to repair permissions, uncheck the box marked Show Details in the Disk Utility window.

  • Why won't my macbook pro repair disk permissions after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

    I upgraded my 2010 Macbook pro with 2.4gHz core 2 duo processor to Mountain Lion and ever since it has been giving me issues. One of my biggest concerns is that it will no longer repair disk permissions. The progress bar goes about half way and just sits there without finishing, and this is something i'm used to doing very regularly. Other than that it has been crashing fairly often and just acting strange where on Snow Leopard it never crashed or had any issues. Any suggestions? 

    Quit Safari. From the Finder click on Go > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Preferences. Delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Logout/Login and restart Safari. Try to save a bookmark to the Bookmarks bar.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Try holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode. Then, after starting in safe mode, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Library/StartupItems. Then, empty this folder and restart the Mac.
    If your Mac starts after doing this, it was a problem with a third-party app that starts automatically when you turn on the computer. It won't start automatically anymore after doing that

  • Installed apps from Macbook Pro Tiger disk to a Powerbook G4

    I bought a used powerbook G4 that came with Tiger installed, but no tiger disk included in the sale (so i'll have to buy my own copy of it if i want to reinstall anything). Everything on the machine worked perfect... until one day.... okay here's the dumb thing i did: My friend has a new Macbook Pro (with Intel) and i hoped i could install programs from his Tiger disk that i didn't have on my computer (like Garage Band). So i put in his Tiger disk that came with his Macbook Pro (even though someone had advised me that it wouldn't work on a G4!) and in it i found a package of optional applications. I couldn't find and select Garage Band separately on the disk so i decided to just install all optional apps from that package. I figured my computer wouldn't let me even start all this if the Tiger disk was incompatible with my G4. Well, it did proceed along and I watched as it installed a bunch of standard programs i already had on my computer. But oh well i figured it wouldn't hurt anything to reinstall apps like that. Then, I just couldn't find a way to list and select individual programs to install, so i just gave up on the whole idea of getting my friend's Garage Band.
    The next day some of my apps were acting funny. Had problems with Mail, Safari and Itunes. Fortunately, doing an update online fixed mail and safari. But itunes continues to not act right and it's always crashing and i have to force quit. Also my netzero software has become corrupted 2 times since the messing with the Macbook Pro tiger disk, and i've had to reinstall the ISP software. If i buy my own Tiger disk for G4 then i can reinstall itunes completely and hopefully that would solve it's problems. But i'm worried that when i messed with the Intel tiger disk i may have put some code on my hard disk that's harmful and useless to a G4 and could cause further problems down the road.
    So my question is: Has anyone heard of this happening before and what would be the best thing for me to do? And i hope that if i must reinstall the whole OSX tiger, that i can use the "archive and install" mode so i won't lose any 3rd party software on my powerbook.
    Thankyou for reading.
    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   10.4.6 installed then updated to 10.4.7

    I would not advise an Archive and Install because it will preserve components of the old system such as your users folder (unless you opt not to do that) which may contain items that are now not compatible. Archive and Install also keeps applications that now are incompatible.
    I would recommend the following:
    1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed with OS X installation.

    Create a new admin account named repair and only give them the password for that account. Alternately you could back up or clone your system, erase the hard drive and then reinstall OS X with one admin account that has no personal information.

    Well then when you erased your hard drive, your erased the Recovery partition, also.
    Use Internet Recovery to either restore from your Time Machine backup or reinstall the OS if you don't have a TM Backup.
    It will install the OS that shipped on that Mac. You can then upgrade via the App Store.

  • Can I use macbook pro install Disk with macbook?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a macbook and macbook pro, I had to reinstall system after harddrive went on the macbook. I can't find my macbook restore disks/installation disks. Would I be able to use the macbook pro install disks with macbook?
    Much appreciate your help.

    It might work but it's risky. The MBP installation disks may well not contain the right drivers for the MacBook. It would be better, if at all possible, if you contacted Apple tech support and asked for a new set of disks for your MacBook. They'll send you a set for a reasonable fee. If you can't wait, perhaps there's an Apple Store or other Apple dealer near you that would have a set you could borrow in-store to do the reinstallation.

    The opperating system I am using is 10.7.4, and updating to the latest version currently. Computer is running fine, except that when I did some utility repairs, I got the warning above, and not really sure what do, in regards to repairing it correctly, not just getting the message off of my computer.
    Thank you for your help, and please only contribute if you know about this issue please.

    That's a status message which can be safely ignored.

  • My MBP won't boot anymore after "repair disk" and "repair disk permission"

    My 2011 MBP 15 with Lion stopped working after I attempted to use Disk Utility to "repair disk" and "repair disk permission". 
    It was having weird issues before I attempted the repairs, it was freezing every few seconds no matter what I am doing, the whole thing would freeze with only the mouse movable. then after a few seconds it goes back to normal again. This happened after I downloaded and installed some updates from Apple. I don't know if the updates would cause this or it's something else.
    In Disk Utility, "Repair Disk Permission" took 5 hours.  While "Repair Disk" resulted in "Disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed up files".
    Now when it boots, there's a loading bar under the Apple logo, it loads half way and shuts down itself. 
    I can still get into CMD+R Utilities though.
    Any idea how I can extract the data out of the disk?  I'm going to format and do a clean install.

    A stopped loading bar is indicative of a failed firmware install that didn't complete, it's trying to install and is failing.
    Do a PRAM reset
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Reboot into Safe Mode, (shift key down) then reboot normally and see if that fixes the issue.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    You may have to try to reinstall your firmware manually, you'll need another disk burning Mac
    Find your exact firmware(s) here (or on Apple Downloads page)
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Apply instructions here
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
    Lastly it could be your boot drive is failing or something wrong happened with the update and accounting for all the to the other issues.
    A OS X "overwrite" may solve the issue, may not.
    See 10.5, 106. 10.7 OS X "overwrite" here

  • Flat Rate Quote for Macbook Pro Repair?

    Is there a way to get a flat rate quote from Apple for a Macbook Pro repair.
    My 15" Early 2008 model got soaked during a storm that damaged my roof. It's been intermittent since. The insurance company needs a repair estimate to decide whether to replace it or repair it. Apple chat/phone won't give me a nominal flat rate number in writing I can send to the insurance company. They want me to send it in and pay a large shipping charge. At the apple store they consulted a table that said it was about $350 if no water damage and $1200 if it was, but again that was oral. Nothing I can send to my insurance company.
    Is there some way to get a flat rate quote from Apple?

    You say the Apple store said, but you don't mention if it is the Genius Bar or not. 
    Since it is long out of warranty, you could just go to one of the many indendent repair stores that offer flat rates and get them to give you a written estimate. A Google search should turn up a bunch in your area.

  • Warning sign with Repair Disk Permission" Warning: SUID file..."

    You don't - they are harmless.
    Why do I get them
    Apple has this to say about that:

    You did the right thing by asking first - good luck with Snow Leopard.

  • Repair Disk Permission takes a long time

    Whenever I repair disk permission in Disk Utility it takes about 20 minutes.
    The log shows nothing besides the usual "secure.log". (that shows on all my macs.)
    Repairing a second, third or fourth time always takes that long....
    Any clues? Anyone else?

    #2 referring to variation of time on a specific machine and when comparing DU's walltime between machines
    Depends on
    -computer's processor clock rate
    -disk read data rate (the DU process reads a lot more than it writes)
    -machine's memory speed
    -machine's amount of physical memory (if small memory paging can occur)
    -other system-level processes and user-level processes that are active and consuming resources
    -number of files on the disk (each machine will more than likely have more or less)
    -file system meta data fragmentation (varies from one machine to the next)
    I've had maybe a score of people all using various Macs perform DU repair permissions on Leopard and their times vary from a low of 3 mins to around an hour. Go figure...
    The Estimated time to complete in the progress bar is atrociously inaccurate.
    On my PM G5 10.5.1 internal boot volume repair it takes consistently 8 mins and 43 secs of wall time. The progress bar shows when DU starts estimated time to complete is 1 min. It sits there while the DU's helper installdb process runs for maybe some 4 mins at 100% cpu use and a single thread. Then DU itself, DiskManagementTool and repair_packages (a big RAM hog) processes step in to also do work for the remainder of the time. These last three processes will also consume around 100% cpu together. The i/o is mainly reads all done at a fairly low data rate.
