Permissions Repair keeps finding the same problems

I am finding that the Permissions Repair, while it informs me that it has repaired permissions on my Intel-powered 24-inch iMac, is not in fact doing so. It keeps finding the same errors. What is going on?

"In general", we shouldn't worry too much about what repair permissions finds. But, your case is a little odd, in that it finds the same thing each time. Yes, subsequent repair permissions "should" be nada...nothing found. Try running Repair Disk and see if that helps. (run Repair Disk from an OS Install or recovery disk; or from another volume containing OS X)

    Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name  with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder before installing the new copy?  If not then do so and delete the new application also.

    Dear Tomarshe
    I had the same problem a couple of weeks back.
    What I did was that I restarted that Ipad of mine and voila!
    Problem solved!
    hope this helped!

    I keep having the same frustrating problem.  I want to insert a new footer
    to go with a new chapter, but when I put the footer in, it applies to
    the previous chapter as well.  So I thought a section break would keep
    it from applying to the previous chapter, and this seemed to work for
    a while, but now it doesn't work and it also keeps giving me an additional
    page that I do not want.  I tried insert layout but that doesn't work.
    What can I do??

    What version of Pages?

  • How do I solve the following Itunes error -42404 I have tried uninstalling as well as repair and re installing, I keep getting the same problem, Help please

    Please help I am un able to get my I Tunes back on my Windows 7 -64 after a Virus clean out, How can I solve a problem with the followin ITunes error of -42404 I have tried the usual uninstall and reinstal, as well as the  repair all at no success, do any of you have any solution Ideas that have solved this in the past? Please Help, Thank you...

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • After repairing permissions, in Mac OS X, I ask the utility to verify permissions again and the same problems are shown, as if I had not repaired anything. What's happening?

    What you are seeing are messages. It's ok.. it won't do any good to repeatedly repair permissions. As long as you see Repair Permissions Complete when it's finished, you are good to go.
    Also, if you see any messages that say: SUID: That can be ignored.
    Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore
    Keep in mind, the only time you need to repair permissions is for troubleshooting.

    Hi Barbara,
    I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7,  who like myself was a newbie on this platform,  b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
    If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.
    Regards

  • Every time i repair permissions i keep getting this same message...

    Perhaps i'm being paranoid, but every time i repair permissions i keep getting this same message that:

    Does anyone know what this means? Is anyone else getting these messages consistently when running repair permissions? i did a clean installation of Leopard and have run the updater. Permissions seem to take a while to repair, and i am going to install the larger 10.5.1. updater as soon as it finishes downloading... but i did run the 40 mb updater that software update downloaded.
    Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    This is the only trouble if at all that I have in installing Leopard, and while some as discussed previously are nothing to be concerned about the others have me concerned. From the installation disk I have run Disk repair and Repair Permissions but nothing changes in the list below. So any thoughts on how to clear some out?

    Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
    Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
    Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
    So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

    have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song.  How do I fix this problem?

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?
    By the way, this is the iPod Shuffle forum.  Since you have an iPod Touch, you should have posted this in the iPod Touch forum.

    Hey rangermikegsm,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Find movies you rented previously
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
    On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    Ciao,
