Permissions problems - need repair after crash

Using Logic 8 with a lot of different plug ins. If Logic, or any of the standalones, freeze up for whatever reason, I run disk utility and there appears to be ongoing related issues. Is anyone familiar with the below and what could be causing this? Ive cut and pasted the Disk Utility report. It is then able to fix the permissions, but its a real time waster to have to do it each time. Thx

I have the same issue. Do you recall when the messages first appeared. I noticed mine when Itunesd became 8.2?

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.

I constantly need to repair permissions, hundreds need repairing weekly

Hi, this is not a new problem with my MacBook Pro, and I have recently encounter the same problem whilst trying to fix a friends MacBook Pro after she approached me with the same issue. I have had a mac in new form or another since 1994 so without being a certified Mac technician, I know my way around pretty well. I use my mac all day every day and am always on grand to help my friends with theirs so I'm totally baffled by this issue.
Each week I have to repair my permissions, in fact if I use it more that usual then it will be a disk utility fix in 2 or 3 days, the permissions that need to be fixd vary depending on what programmes I have been using, itunes comes up more than most. After a few months of this I decided that the hard drive must bat fault so, having the old one still in warranty, brought a new one, backed it up and returned the old one to the store hoping to get a refund, they tested it and found no fault with the drive... So I reformatted it and cleaned it and have had no problems with it since it's in a hard case and used as an external. Again after a few weeks I have the same permissions problem back again on the new drive... So I diced to update the operating system, now running 10.8.5, it's made no difference. I still have fix my permissions every couple of days as it get he dreaded rainbow wheel and my work flow becomes impossible. So my fiend came to me with her MacBook Pro, I much newer model than men and told me of the dreaded spinning wheel . I fixed her permissions and then again in a few days time the spinning wheel was back. I changed her hard drive too and the problem persisted the same as my own.
Please can someone help me figure this out ... Why am I getting these constant permission issues
I have downloaded disk warrior and put both macs through the software,
Is anyone else having these problems...
Sorry for the long winded explanation. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Hi. Yes I know of the ones I can safely ignore, but I'm talking about hundreds of permissions that need to be repaired every few days and the reason why I run disk utility is because my programmes won't run properly and every action is greeted by a minutes worth of rainbow wheel. That is when I rerun disk utility to find yet again a hundred or more permissions that have to be repaired and continue to have to be repaired.
Desperate for some help with this.
Thanks

Disk Permissions constantly need Repair

Hi,
I've just upgraded to 10.6.5 and noticed that each time I log in, my disk permissions need repair. I've updated everything, but still seem to have permissions problems. Any help would be appreciated. These are the errors.
Many thanks!

Yeah, that advice is all over the place. It certainly won't hurt. But the benefits of doing it are, IMO, greatly exaggerated.
Repairing permissions can be a useful task if you are having a problem that can be traced to incorrect permissions on an application, folder, or file that is installed with the Mac OS X installer. Because those are the only things (and only a subset of those at that) that repairing permissions fixes.
But somewhere along the line, people starting using Repair Permissions as some sort of magic pill that can fix any ailment. Computer slow? Repair permissions. Screen flickering? Repair permissions. E-mail message won't go on the trash? Repair permissions. That advice is handed out (ill-advisedly IMO) on a daily basis on these forums. And, of course, there are those who advocate repairing permissions both before and after any system update. IMO that advice too is based on urban legend. I never do it.
If you do repair permissions, and it finishes with "Permissions repair complete", then it's done and you don't need to worry. The "errors" it returns are not errors at all and nothing needs to be fixed. They're just "messages", not errors. If you don't want to see them, simply uncheck the "show details" box.
If Repair Permissions finishes with "permissions repair failed", or "the "underlying task reported failure on exit", then worry.

Why is my DiskUtility no longer finding any permissions which need repair?

In the past 4-6 weeks Disk Utility, both on my iMac and my MacBook always gives me a clean bill of health when I use it to verify/repair permissions.
In the past, I alwyas have had something which had to be repaired.
Bothers me that Disk Utility finds nothing. I install,uninstall lots of software and would expect permissions need tweaks after installing Security patches and such
IS it possible that a recent OS patch (security or other) has affected Disk Utility?
It just does not seem right that suddenly no permission needs repair.
Any one else finding that they , too, now always have clean bill of health with permissions, using Disk Utility?

I think some of the gurus to whom you refer need an education.
We all recommend repairing the hard drive and permissions before installing new software not because it's a requirement but because it's a precaution against poorly maintained systems. Doing so will help prevent problems for users who simply don't know what they are doing or never maintain their computer properly. Even toasters need to be cleaned once in a while, if you get my meaning.
Recently Mac World ran a couple of pieces on the subject that you should find interesting reading:
Repairing permissions- What you need to know
Take Control of Permissions in OS X
Also, Permission Repair- The Full Story and Repair Permissions- A false panacea.

Repair permissions still needs repair

I have repaired permissions three times with a restart between each repair. Am I to asume they have been repaired or is there still 45 or so things still wrong?

If your permissions have been repaired, it will say at the bottom,"permissions have been repaired". There will almost be some permissions that will ned repair, that does not mean there is a problem. Using the same procedure>Go utilities>disk utilities>select your user disk (usually Mac HD), highlight that, then click verify disk, if there are errors there they will be displayed at the end. If repair disk is not grayed out click that, if it is you will need to use the install disk, and select repair disk. ATB

Permissions will not repair after update itunes 11.1

Permissions will not repair in Mountain Lion 10.8.5 after updating Itunes to version 11.1

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.

Why do permissions always need repair?

Whenever I go to disk utility and ask it to verify my computer's permissions, it always identifies a series of files where permissions need repair. Why is this?

http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/durepairfns.html#Anchor-The-11481
Repair Disk Permissions often produces messages while it is running. These messages are generally of an informational nature and can usually be ignored. Some of these messages may be repeated every time Repair Disk Permissions is run as the receipt for the object in question is forcing the setting of specific permissions, even if no correction is required. Again, these can also be ignored. Only messages indicating the failure of the Repair Disk Permissions process, or the inability to correct permissions on a specific file or folder, should be of concern.

Permissions always need repair

My model identifier is iMac12,2 and my OS version is 10.6.8
When I do a permissions repair, one minute later I can do another repair with the same permissions repaired. In other words, it doesn't seem as though the repair actually works. Is there anything I can do about this? Should I do another clean install of the OS?

No, and it is working. Any remaining messages are due to having the current software installed; repeated runs of repair permissions won't fix anything which the first run didn't and are a waste of time.

Permissions do not repair after snow leopard upgrade

Taking advice from this forum, upgraded my 2006 imac with snow leopard. Loving it. One concern is that every time I run repair permissions it makes a whole slew of repairs, takes 13 minutes. However if I run it again it makes all the same repairs again. Have done this numerous times with no change. Any advice? Here is the most serious looking one the last one:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Thank you for any input.

this is normal, and you can take a look at the following link about SUID

There always seems to be some list of repairs, relax and enjoy SL

Repair permissions - always the same ones need repairing (Shockwave)

Each time I do a Repair Permissions after doing an installation (in this case Security 008 update for Intel on my MBP) the same permissions always are repaired and ONLY these. Here's the report I always get:
Permissions differ on ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10/Shockwave 10 Preferences, should be -rwxrwxr-x , they are -rw-rw-r--
Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10/Shockwave 10 Preferences
Permissions corrected on ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10/Shockwave 10 Preferences
Does this seem logical? correct?
I know they are repaired since when I go to do the next installation and begin by Repairing Permissions, nothing needs repairing. Yet I know that after another installation the Shockwave permission differences will rear their heads again.
I do know tht Shockwave is an Adobe thing and I believe it is needed for Quicktime. Could there be something wrong with my Shockwave - or is this typical of Adobe products?
Thanks,

So, I have now updated the Security Update 008 on the G4 and guess what, the same Shockwave Repair permission issue. It DID NOT appear when I repaired permissions before and after the other updates (Java, QuickTime, Migration DVDCD..., etc) But Shockwave repairs did appear after Security 008.
I found this link to another thread here on Security 008 and Shockwave. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8699716&#8699716
...but, I don't know if this is my problem.
In any case, I just have to update iTunes (only on G4) and Safari (on all my Macs) and then I'm good to go - or at least good to go and figure out what is wrong with Shockwave!
Oh one more update to do - a casual remark I made in reply to another poster has led me to learn that I can update my Appleworks 6 and get it to work in X. Hurrah!

Disk Permissions Problem on External HD Accessed Wirelessly

Hello,
I recently purchased a LaCinema Connect MiniHD and have been using it with a Western Digital 750Gb drive (formatted Mac OS Case Sensitive, non-journaled). I also recently bought a D-Link DWA-125 wifi dongle to use with the LaCinema.
I can access and read/write to the drive without problem when it connected via USB to my computer or to my wife's laptop. However, when I try to trasnfer to it wirelessly over the network (i.e. when the drive is connected to the LaCinema which, in turn, is on the network) I receive error messages when I attempt to transfer files to certain folders (including the "root" folder). What is interesting is that the folders that I can transfer to appear to be ones that were created on my old work computer, with an earlier OS version (definitely not Snow Leopard).
I suspect that I have some sort of permissions problem, but "Repair Permissions" is not available to me for this drive in Disk Utility.
I have plugged in the drive into my computer and have reset the permissions so that the "owner", "staff", and "everyone" are able to read and write for all folders and sub-folders, but it has not solved the problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Graeme.

Eric,
I, too, apologize for the delay in posting. I have been away from the discussions for a rather extended period.
Well, any NTFS formatted volume will only be accessible to you as read only. No, this is not something new, but has always been the case. To make matters worse, I have heard that Windows no longer provides any way to create a FAT-32 volume; one must use OS X to format the volume or use a third-party application in Windows. This information may be incorrect, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is true (we're talking about Microsoft, here).
If you can copy any data on this drive to some other location, then use Disk Utility to format it as FAT-32, the data can then be copied back and it can be used to transport the data cross-platform, with read/write access on both ends. Is this a possibility for you?

Same disk permissions problem

Can anyone figure this one out?
I am getting an alert from Drive Genius each day that I must repair permissions or else something terrible will happen
The thing is I have noticed it is the same permissions that need repairing here they are below.
What should I do to stop this?
I uninstalled Apple Remote Desktop but I still get those.
Any suggestions appreciated!!
thx
Felix

Strange problems: Need to repair permissions after new installation

Hello, we installed a PowerMac G5, which is running as a web server (4D). After we installed the OS X (10.4.9/PPC) and a few days running the machine did have problems starting up as usual. The machine did hang when trying to start up.
We could startup from an external CD. Apple's disk utility reported thousands of files needed to be repaired. We repaired all of the permissions and had the startup problem again. We switched to another computer, a Mac mini (G4). The same problem (again repaired tons of permissions).
We also used Apple's Hardware Check Disk. Nothing found! Alsoft's Disk Warrior only show us a few files which had the wrong encoding.
The web server and its data are running/stored on a different volume (second partition).
We totally do have three computers with the same problems. We are running 4th Dimension, Retrospect 6.x, Share Points, Pure FTP and Mac OS X 10.4.9. We are running several web servers with the same configuration except another Mac OS X version (e.g. 10.3.9)
Does anybody know this problem and how to solve?

Disk Utility and repair permissions problem after upgrade 10.5.1

*Problem with Disk Utility* - +repair permissions don't work anymore+
After upgrading to OS X 10.5.1 tried to correct permissions with Disk utility. But I'm not able to repair permissions, because I get this message every time "fault: The underlying task reported a fault at concluding." and permissions repair stops. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone have any idea how to get this working again?

Will try installing OS X 10.5.1 again from the downkoad that you recommended. Won't be able to do this untill after the New Year but I'll let you know if this helped. I had another problem after he 10.5.1 upgrade and that was that the Security update 2007-009 also refused to install. Could this be related too the problems with Disk utility and the permissions problems.
