New, updated, even reinstalled. Must repair many permissions. Only OHuh?
Could someone please explain to me why I had a long list of disk permissions to repair
Continue. First was posted inadvertently.
Nothing on the new Mac Pro except FCP and OSX. Even reinstalled (disk format), because there was a problem with the keyboard. Everything updated. Our internet connection is secure through the Swiss telephone company. We use the computer for nothing except updates.
The list of disk permissions to repair was hundreds long, and included a wide variety of places, like Itunes (haven't even agreed to the contract yet).
We did click yes to a contract while we were running a series of updates on FCP.
Idly curious.

I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated. I have had to turn off my auto updating that was nice but I'll do it one at a time in order to keep the Pages 09 and Keynote. When something works don't mess with it. Any fixes out there?
I can't say that I have had a problem playing videos in Flash because I could always play them in browsers other than Firefox.
In Firefox Tools>options>Advanced Hardware acceleration is turned on.
I don't know if that is different that tuning it off and on in Flash or not, but for now it is a moot point.
As I stated in my previous message, after following all earlier suggestions/instructions nothing helped. But The latest one, someone suggested that maybe version 17 of Flash might be a stable version.
I made no other changes except to install it, a few days ago, and so far so good.
Many thanks for your help,

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Ok, my MacBook haven't had any issues earlier, until today. At first Safari was acting kind of weird in that sense that a lot of letters were missing when you went on certain webpages, so I thought of updating since an alert-window popped up and notified that new updates were ready to be installed. So I opened up App Store through my Applications-folder and selected update.
First it asked if I wanted to connect my Mac to a powersource but since I had charged the battery to 79% I didn't think it was necessary. So I continued, computer restarted and began installing the updates.
Everything went fine until it was approximately three minutes left. An error message popped up and said something like "An unknown error has occured. Please restart your computer and try again". I pressed OK, rebooted my computer and when it asked for my password I typed it in. After I pressed OK, the computer indicated it was the wrong password. I tried multiple times and sometimes with different passwords... so now I can't simply log in! What's the problem?
TL;DR - Updated mac, failed after five minutes and now I can't log back in since "I have the wrong password"Forgot Your Account Password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

Permissions repair repairs many permissions...why?
I'm wrestling with the Snow Leopard install on an iMac 3.06. I've got the OS installed and updated along with all the other software. I'm attempting to fix printing/scanning problems now, and having not such a good time, but that's a different post.
What I'm inquiring about is this: after my every install move, I repair permissions with Disk Utility, then restart.
However, every time I Repair Permissions, I get a boatload of repairs, all from the same source: System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachine/...
In fact, I just ran Repair Permissions two times in a row, and it repaired those same permissions twice in a row. What's going on?Barbara Daniels1 wrote:
I agree with Antonio and, I have read posts here about problems migrating from a PowerPC to an Intel machine…
That does not, in & of itself, mean there is any problem with Migration or Setup Assistant or any comparable manual method. If users migrate incompatible or damaged software, preferences, etc. from one Mac to another, then of course problems are possible. However, there is no need to worry that (for example) an Intel Mac will try to execute migrated PPC code or use out-of-date migrated cached info -- if the OS does that, then it was severely damaged by something else since these are fundamental checks the OS should perform routinely as part of its day-to-day operation.
Also, using the Setup Assistant (during the initial setup) is better than using the Migration Assistant later; although they basically perform the same tasks, the first one only sets up one account, whereas MA will sometimes create a second account with some degree of havoc to follow (this is what happened in my case; it took some time to sort it out and I won't be using MA again).
Setup Assistant will offer to migrate multiple existing accounts, just like Migration Assistant. The difference is that on the first user startup, when Setup Assistant runs automatically, there are no existing user accounts & thus no account name conflicts. Since it is not possible to merge two user accounts automatically, running Migration Assistant later, when an account has already been created on the destination Mac with the same name as an existing one on the source Mac, can result in two accounts on the destination Mac, one having a different name. Migration Assistant informs users of the name conflict before the migration begins, & gives the user several choices for what to do about it.
Some users are apparently confused by this or do not pay close attention to the dialog choice options, & end up with user files in two different accounts, each inaccessible from the other. Merging the two accounts manually can be messy, but this is true whether or not Migration Assistant is involved. The problem is the duplicate accounts, each of which contains a conflicting set of files, preferences, & other user settings in their respective home folders. -
Since the update my iPhone 4s started freezing and restarting by itself! I have done everything apple have told me to do. I restarted my phone like new restarted settings etc. And still its giving me the same problems.
I don't believe I have to pay that amount of money because the reason for these issues is the update apple sent !!!!
Please help!If you actually have an iPhone 4S, and 'Apple' referenced a $150 fee (assuming U.S. dollars), then that's not right. Apple only charges $19 USD for troubleshooting assistance. If the device cannot be fixed by troubleshooting and it needs to be replaced, then the out-of-warranty fee may apply. For iPhone 4 and older, that's $149. For iPhone 4S, that's $199. For iPhone 5, 5C or 5S, that's $269. For iPhone 6, that's $299. For iPhone 6 Plus, that's $329.
You have either inaccurate information from Apple, or you weren't talking to Apple. What phone number did you call to talk to 'Apple'. -

Many permissions don't seem to get repaired!
My screen went a little crazy today after coming out of sleep mode- lots of patterns and colors no menus available. I restarted and decided to Repair Permissions. On the first pass, Disk Utility repaired many permissions. I ran Permission Repair again and the same permissions were repaired- mostly frameworks and quicktime related items. Is this normal or do I have a problem cropping up?
Richardthat depends on the particular error messages you see. most are usually harmless. see this link

Repair Disk Permissions - ACL Errors
I opened Disk Utility and repaired disk permissions last night and was surprised to find six errors. I ran it again, and the first three errors disappeared. But the other three remain even after I repaired disk permissions two more times.
These are the errors:
ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities".
ACL found but not expected on "Applications".
ACL found but not expected on "Library".
Does anyone know what they mean, and how I can fix them?
Thanks.Hi, they were common before the update to 10.5.2, and than they went away for the most part. There is much information on them with a search. Google the ACL errors and you will see what I mean. I hesitate to offer a solution because there's so many conflicting statements.

After downloading the new update for my iphone 4 the screen only show an itune logo, as
well as a plug in picture, thats it. No icons are visible, phone does not come on except to show
the two icons. When I power up it does nothing except shows those 2. When power off I dont even
get the slide off screen it just goes black. WTH?Hello bigboza,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
Have a nice day,

Repair Disk Permissions taking 19 hours so far...
I semi-regularly use Onyx to repair disk permissions. (probably once a month). It normally takes around 30 minutes to complete. Yesterday my system started hanging so I ran repair disk from the boot cd. This was fine and took around fifteen minutes. Then I ran repair disk permissions from the boot CD. After around 30 minutes it said '1 minute remaining'. That was 19 hours ago....
It's still chugging along so it sounds like somethings happening - but the progress bar and remaining time have not changed.
So my question is - should I let it finish? How long should I wait? Is there anything else I could check?Update to the Update!
I ran repair disk permissions from my profile and it finished (around 7 minutes). I've attached the log below in case it points to anything specific?

Software Update/iTunes Update does not show any new updates
My mac is on a new internet provider and OS X update, and even iTunes update, no longer work properly. The OS update reports no new updates (even though new updates exist: TimeMachine and Airport Update v1.0, Security Update 2008-002 v1.0,...).
The problem has been isolated to an outgoing IP address: 24.29.138.* (cpe-24-29-138-??.nyc.res.rr.com, where ?? is a range of ip addresses 11 to 96) used or referenced whenever OS Software update or iTunes update is run. Whois reports the IP range as Road Runner, presumable residential services (and not apple). The outgoing service provider has that range of IP addresses blocked.
Anybody else see this? Anybody know why the mac update services reference *.nyc.res.rr.com? Any solution besides taking my mac to another internet provider service for updates?
Thanks.Kappy,
Yes, cable modems were switched. Never had RoadRunner/Bright House service (now or then). Went from Cox to Uverse. Believe the MacBook was added after service providers were changed, but nonetheless, have reset the mac at least twice (upgrade from Tiger to Leopard required tech support to get it working, which included several "hard" resets), the modem/router has been reset several times (with several instances of +24 hours between shut-down and restarts). The fiber service has the modem and router combined, so resetting is a single operation.
From Network Settings, I have valid IP addresses and it is using DHCP.
I have VirusBarrier installed, along with NetBarrier, which is how I learned about the odd outgoing connection via RoadRunner during mac/iTunes updates. VirusBarrier reported no spy/malware.
When you run Mac OS Software Update or attempt to download iTunes updates, your system does not connect (or attempt to connect) to any non-apple IP addresses? Just like to confirm if anybody else see this or not?
Even posting to this discussion board causes an outgoing connection to cpe-24-29-138-65.nyc.res.rr.com TCP Port 54450 and working up to 54537, appears to be an outgoing message every 30 seconds to the next Port in sequence.
Any ideas what is happening? Booted up the Powerbook G4 on the same network, has the same outgoing connection to nyc.res.rr.com. -

Our old macbook was getting a gray screen with flashing ? on bootup. Eventually I restored it using Time Machine then decided to reinstall Snow Leopard since it would not boot. Machine now boots but is slow. Ran repair disc and tried to run repair disc permissions but got a message that it was cancelled by user.
This machine is at least 6 years old and I just want to limp it along until I can afford to replace it in the spring.You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS. I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before. I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure. Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??
