Permissions NEVER get Repaired...

I run DISK UTILITY and "verify permissions" then do "repair permissions".
If I run Disk Utility again (immediately afterwards) there is a whole list permissions to be repaired again.
So I did "repair" and rebooted the iMac.
Launch Disk Utility... Again, a long list of fixes.
All of the issues are this:
SYSTEM/LIBRARY/core services...
SYSTEM/LIBRARY/framework...
SYSTEM/LIBRARY/remote management...
This is a recent issue. I'm thinking that one of the kids may have downloaded something buggie, a website, etc...
Any ideas?
iMac 2.66
OS 10.6.8
Thanx

Fret not - the apparently unrepaired stuff is due to DU not being 'informed' that the items have been moved, usually during updates. As long as the message at the end of the list says "permissions repair completed" there's nothing to worry about.

Verify & Repair Disk Permissions never get completed

I tried so many times on Verify Disk Permission, and Repair as well, however, both never get to complete the whole scanning process. I don't know what to do with it... Please help!!!

Hi KM, et al,
   I have a silly suggestion. Maybe if you corrected permissions by hand, it would fix the problem. Try the following commands:
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/man/man1/more.1
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/share/man/man1/more.1
You must execute the command as a system administrator and when prompted for a password, give the admin's password. I'm not sure what effect that will have though. /usr/share/man/man1/more.1 and /usr/share/man/man1/less.1 are actually hard links to the same file. On my system, changing one changes the other, which I don't believe is POSIX compliant. (but I haven't looked that up) Maybe that's one of the anomalies of linked files on HFS+ filesystems. However, I'm able to make the change on my system so it's certainly worth trying.
   I don't really know what's happened to your systems but it's certainly not something that should cause you to reinstall. At the very worst, you should be able to get a single copy of the file and recreate the links. The first step is to figure out what state your systems are in. What do you get when you execute the following command:
ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/more.1 /usr/share/man/man1/less.1
It would be most useful if you post the output you get before you try the fix in my previous paragraph.

Permissions repair complete

They will never be fixed since they are not errors. The Permissions database has changed but has not been updated by Apple.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
When you see one of these with an l in front of the Permissions (a symlink) even if it's not on the list, just ignore it. You can also generally ignore any Permissions errors that return even after "Repairing."

Run permissions, it says repaired, but not repaired. get list of same error every time.

when i run repair permissions, i get a 2 page list of the same fault in itunes. it than says they were repaired but i get the same thing each time i run it. reinstalled itunes, no help.
file://localhost/Users/robertbarry/Desktop/Permissions%20differ%20on%20“Appli.te xtClipping

I would not be concerned. These are errors generated because the version of Disk Utility you are using or the installed software database do not have information about the files. They will be repeated every time you repair permissions. Just ignore them.

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."

When I run Verify Disk Permissions I get something that can not be repaired.

When I run Verify Disk Permissions I get something that can not be repaired. The message I get is
Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
When I run a repair disk permissions it does not get rid of this.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend that you don't waste your time with "Verify." Go straight to "Repair Permissions."
The chances are excellent that you will get that one advisory, and at the end it will say "Repair Permissions Completed."
There are lots of those notations that will seem to us everyday users as an "error." But it's just noted changes.
If after running "Repair" it says "Repair Permissions Could Not be Completed," that's the only time you ned to worry.
And, I totally agree with what Niel said. Sorry, did not see his reply when I poster.

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.

These are innocuous messages that may be safely ignored. They are caused by a Java and ARD update. They will recur every time you repair permissions.

IMAC 24" Mac OS X (10.6.4) Intel Core 2 Duo-2.4GHz-2GB memory

I'm having the exact same issue. It's not just Java for me though - there are hundreds of similar issues with iLife and Utilities.
I believe this is part of the reason my hard drive became corrupt and had to be changed. My Mac's been running much slower than it should and I don't feel I'm getting full use out of it... Since rebooting from Time Machine I've not ridded any of these errors. They fact they've been carried over makes me think that I'll never have a machine that works up to speed again.
Can't think what else could be to blame?

Time Machine never gets out of Indexing backup...

I had a problem with my iMac earlier today. My first instinct was to create a complete backup. But since then I've not been able to create a backup. Time Machine never gets out of Indexing backup...
Each time I try to backup the message log contains:
Starting standard backup

The tiny numbers in Activity Monitor suggest that Time Machine isn't really doing anything.
So far I have:
1. Verified my main hard disk and my original backup disk.
2. Bought a new external hard disk and set it up as a new backup disk.
3. Deleted the Spotlight files on my main hard disk and both the backup disks.
4. Reset Time Machine by deleting its .plist file and choosing the new backup disc again.
Given the failure earlier today I am really keen to get a full back up done.
Any ideas?

I had a problem with my iMac earlier today. My first instinct was to create a complete backup. But since then I've not been able to create a backup. Time Machine never gets out of Indexing backup...
Indexing the backup and actually performing the backup are two different things. Sometimes Lion Time Machine has trouble maintaining the index when used over a wireless network. That doesn't affect the creation of new backups. You can always enter Time Machine and see just how many backups you have.

After the initial backup, Time Machine doesn't take much CPU time.

Please don't do things like this. What you need to do now is:
1) Boot from your recovery volume.
2) Repair your disk and permissions
3) Wait for Spotlight to finish reindexing your hard drive.
4) Erase your Time Machine drive and start Time Machine over again.
Come back if you are still having trouble. If you muck around with low-level files that shouldn't be mucked with, all bets are off.

TS3147 printer permissions will not repair?

Epson printer will not set up or not show up in printer list. And if I try to repair my permissions they will not repair it just runs out a long list of repairs that
never quite gets repaired right.

These days it's quite normal to get a long list of 'errors' on doing a permissions repair because Disk Utility has not been upgraded to allow for some changes made to the system.
As long as at the bottom of the list it says 'Permissions repair complete' you can safely ignore them all.

Target mode-never get the firewire icon?

I have a 2005ish iMac that will not fully start up. It gets hung up at the end of the blue status bar during start up. I suspect the hard drive is completely overloaded, and when it started acting wonky I checked the hard drive and all was fine, so I dont think its hard drive failure. I am attempting to use Target mode to retrieve files then erase and reinstall. I attached the cable, which is 9 pin to 6 pin, to iMac and MacbookPro, and started the imac while holding down T key, but I never get the firewire icon. It jsut continues in its never ending "starting Mac OS X..." state. ANy help greatly appreciated!!

verify & repair your startup drive
To verify & repair you file system on the startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from you installation DVD.

How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.
You you come to the Install Mac OS panel. Do not install.
Click on Utilities menu item. This will give you a pulldown list of utilities.
Click on the disk utility.
You are now in disk utility. Pick your disk. Click on repair it should be on the lower right of the panel.
Once the repair completes successfully, you should update your permissions.
Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your startup disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.
Click on verify.
Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

Yesterday I ran Disk Utility and came up with hundreds of permissions that needed repair. I hit the "repair permissions" button and waited until it said they were repaired, but just for fun I hit the "verify permissions" button again, and they all came back! I did this several more times and every time I would hit "verify permissions" I would get the same list. What's up? I've always suspected diagnostic programs, but this is Apple's own!

Ignore them. They aren't errors. You will keep seeing the same ones. As long as you get the message "Permissions repair complete," you're OK.
