Permissions repair - completes immediately

when I repair permissions with Disk Utility, the process completes in the blink of an eye and does not list anything as having been repaired. This began after I installed iTunes 10.0 and the latest security update. I have tried to repair permissions a few times since then and the same thing happens.
Have all my permissions received permission?
I am not experiencing any problems opening or finding anything.

I'm not sure what might have caused this. You should try to see if it's system wide or just your user. Create a new admin account and test for this behavior there.
As a troubleshooting procedure, you could try running Applejack which is a very useful little program for troubleshooting and repairing. It runs from Single User Mode. Hold CMD-S at the startup chime. (Also, be sure to read the Read Me.) It's very easy to use. You just follow the on screen prompts. First, just type in applejack and press return. To begin with, I'd only run it only for steps 3 and 4, which will do a relatively light cache cleaning and check for corrupted Preference files. Doing it this way, you'll also be able to run those steps for your user, not just the system. If that doesn't help, run it for deeper cache cleaning by typing in applejack AUTO and let it proceed through a full sequence of tasks (which includes Disk and Permissions Repair.) Note: that if you do a deeper cache cleaning, you can expect the system to run a bit slower until those caches are rebuilt and it may take several restarts after running it for the benefits to be realized.

And here's an article which explains it.

  • Same results for 'Permissions repair complete'

    Very strange. I went to "First Aid' and clicked on "Repair Disc Permissions."
    After a half hour or so, the report showed stuff like "Repaired "System/Library/Core Services/ . . . and ended with "Permissions repair complete."
    I repeated the process and got the same results. In other words, the repair was not complete.

    Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore
    There is never a reason to repair permissions, except in the very rare case of a permission error, which you'll probably never see, or a boot failure. The built-in help for Disk Utility says:
    Repairing disk permissions
    If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.
    It’s not completely irrational to repair permissions after running a third-party installer, since such installers have been known to set incorrect permissions. Otherwise, repairing permissions is a complete waste of time.

  • PErmissions repair says done, but second repair shows same issues

    After I repair permissions, a list of repaired files is shown and "Permissions repair complete". I decided to run it again immediately just on a lark. The same list of files appeared and the same "Permissions repair complete". I booted to the Leopard install DVD and ran permissions repair -- twice -- same issue. I know an Archive install will fix it, but any other suggestions? Use Pacifist to extract and replace the troubled files?

  • Disc permissions repair

    Note: the item below is not a problem, just a curiosity item:
    If I do an apparentl disc permissions repair, followed immediately by another disc permissions repair, why do I get items that need repair.  There are entries like the following:
    Permissions repair complete

    What is happening here?

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 and 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program
    drwxrwxrwx
    |  |  |
    |  |   all other users not in first two types
    |  | 
    |  group
    | 
    owner
    a little more info
    Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
    After, only the user had read & write.

    everything seems to be working OK, what does this mean?

    It means you have not read these boards and the millions of posts like yours.
    Nothing to worry about, it's normal. You can make all but one go away by downloading and installing the 10.5.1 update from Apple's site.
    Happy New Year!

    This is a tad bit more text than I am used to, and am wondering about the console.jar and "Virtual Machines" as I"ve not seen these before. Any ideas? Anything I should worry about?
    Oh, Java test site says Java is working fine and is the most recent version.

    I´m also for a week now with a big problem in Mail - hundreds of messages got blank and disappeared after "rebuild", now it won´t even synchronize. I put this in a thread in the Mail forum, but solutions only go as far as backups - which I don´t have. It started after installing the last Java patch and it still the same after updating to 10.6.5 and permission repair (which shows:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    to sum up: Sent mails are lost, received mails before certain dates (few days back in 1 account, years back in another and no trouble in the third one) won´t get downloaded again, even with new setup of the account - and all started after the java patch.
    Help is very appreciated (maybe I can restore my sent mails from somewhere?!)

    Consecutive running of repair produces same result - so, clearly NONE of the "repairs" have actually been "repaired!" Also, anyone know what the heck the LAST ENTRY means? I CERTAINLY HAVE NOT REPAIRED AN SUID FILE!!

    Apple says to ignore this. It is a known issue.

  • Disk Utility Reports Permissions Repaired, but Don't Verify

    I run permissions repair (as I've been having kernel panics), and there is a bunch of stuff that gets reported as fixed. However, as soon as the repair is complete, if I run Verify Disk Permissions, it reports back the same errors.

  • PPC G5 OS X 10.5.8 using disk utility not all permissions repaired

    Dear apple Community,
    My G5 PPC iMac OS X 10.5.8, Processor 2GHz, memory 2 GB DDR SDRAM, Total Capacity:149.1 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
    Applying Disk Utility to Repair Permissions there are always 12 permissions never repaired! Should I delete then reinstall the Operating system? OR
    Is there something else that could be the problem?
    Hope there is someone who may help
    Best Wishes,

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program
    drwxrwxrwx
    |  |  |
    |  |   all other users not in first two types
    |  | 
    |  group
    | 
    owner
    a little more info
    Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
    After, only the user had read & write.

  • Permissions Repair, same issues every time

    Hi there
    I have a question about permission repair. I have been having a lot of quirks with my machine and, following the advice of people here, am always running disk utility to repair permissions. However, every time I run it, I get the same leghty list of issues. Now, I have read the knowledge base article and know that some are safe to ignore, but my list is pretty long. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
    Thanks

    A friendly suggestion: search the forum before posting a question. This one is asked almost every day.
    The errors are spurious. Ignore them.
    Although repairing permissions is a popular ritual, it's almost never useful. Don't waste time on it unless you have a specific reason to think it's necessary.

  • Permissions Repair Messages after Updating  Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_22.

    I've done permissions verifying, and repairs for years now. I'm also aware that many resulting messages can be safely ignored, but after the recent Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_22. update, there are two new messages. I hoping someone can offer some advice as to whether these can be ignored as well. My computer seems to be functioning fine. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
    The new permissions repair messages;

    Yesterday I installed the latest Java update. Prior to that these were 'errors' showed when I ran Disk Utility:

    Today I have had some really strange things showing up on my iMAC when I went to Finder, for instance there were a couple of things there "Folders Actions Setup which I took a screenshot of which is way too big to post here and also had "mail attachment" which put the screenshot into a blank email!
    Anyone have any ideas? I am now quite concerned.
    Thank you.

    Is this OK... or not?
    Thanks!

    Don't worry about them.
    If you end up with the message 'permission repair complete' you are fine.
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 and 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard changed the location of a number of system components.

  • Permissions repair - can't repair on two files

    Hello all,
    I am unable to get a clean "repair permissions" result on two files. Here's what Disk Utility has to say about the matter:
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Determining correct file permissions.
    User differs on ./System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EAP8021X.framework/Versions/A/Resources/vers ion.plist, should be 0, owner is -989855744
    Owner and group not corrected on ./System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EAP8021X.framework/Versions/A/Resources/vers ion.plist, reason Operation not permitted
    Permissions not corrected on ./System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EAP8021X.framework/Versions/A/Resources/vers ion.plist, reason Operation not permitted
    Permissions repair complete
    The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
    No matter what I try, I cannot repair the permissions on these two files, nor can I delete them.
    I've been having a tremendous amount of difficulty with my iMac G5, regarding mostly kernel panics, and a whole assortment of issues that are probably related to the issues. I'm not going to go into all those problems at the moment, unless they're required to troubleshoot this particular issue. I've noticed, however, that these two files became problematic after the last Security Update in terms of being unable to repair permissions (something I routinely do after updating software).
    If anyone can shed light on how to either repair the permissions on these two files, or delete them if at all possible, I would be eternally grateful.
    Thank you.
    Nicole
