Recurring Permissions Errors
On my MBPro, I run repair perm's from within Disk Utility, restart, and if I run repair perm's again I get the exact same errors and repairs:

[Those appear to be normal|http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448]. The "results" of repairing permissions does not need to be clean, nor will it likely ever be clean.
This is the only thing that matters:

Why are you repairing permissions? Are you having file access problems or apps reporting they can't find/open support files?

Recurring permissions errors after every reboot
Apologies if this has been covered but I am wondering why Disk Utility/Macintosh HD/Repair Permissions is constantly reporting the following:
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 .

As you can see, DU repairs the files but these errors reappear with or without a reboot. Is this a sign of possible HD problems. If not, would you please advise how I should best correct the problems. Thank you in advance.
[Mac Mini - early 2009] [OSX 10.9.5 13F34] [Default Install - no dual boot - no VM] [single user account]@arthur: Thank you for your speedy reply. In general, the Mac is working perfectly but the reason I have been running permissions repair recently is due to some anomolies in the Finder. Frequently, and getting more frequent, is the spinning umbrella when using Finder to go to local volumes & folders. There are no specific sequences that cause the delay but it was my guess (and it was a guess only) that I might be having some kind of HDD problem. This is a fairly fresh install - within the last few weeks and apart from the default install apps, nothing else has been put on the system.
If as you say, these are "run home to mama" messages, then I will ignore them unless I see a more dramatic degradation.
Thank you. -
I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?
I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message. -
Updating to iTunes 11.1 gave me a lot of disk permissions errors
I ran a Verify Disk Permissions before the installation of iTunes 11.1 and everything was clean, then I did one after installing iTunes 11.1 and I got a ton of errors. See below:
After running repair permissions several times, running from the boot drive or from an external booted, after uninstalling and doing a fresh install, nothing changed.
I also tried to repair the ACLs by booting from the Recovery partition and using resetpassword command.
I know it's not very important but I like to keep my system in perfect shape.
Come on Apple, after one single update, this is NOT SERIOUS!Same here. But without knowing for sure why Apple did let this messages appear, in short, you should consider them as not important...at least for now...and here is why for the ones interested in some details about the error:
Permissions differ on “Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/AACEncoderConfig.nib”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
What this means in Unix language is that permissions check is expecting that "AACEncoderConfig.nib" to be a directory and it's not. You can tell because of "drwxr-xr-x" the d letter at the beginning of the string means "directory" and when compared with the actual value "-rwxr-xr-x", the absence of d means that it refers to a file.
Now you might ask why is the system expecting a directory?
Here is a link that describes why: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
OK...but what is this kind of files .nib?
This files are normally GUI files...and in the past...not so far away...it was based on a directory structure...but iTunes 11.1 is the first released Apple app that is using their new nib file spec. And this is somehow apparent...I mean the error messages we are all seeing when we run the permissions check suggest it.
Then I need to add, as a guess, it looks like this is due to the coming OSX upgrade...I saw another software giving the same permissions errors and even if I cannot say which app, it's one that is heavily tested right now and it will appear on OSX Lion/Mountain Lion and the new Mavericks.
Hope this helps! -
My MB Pro is no longer syncing my iPad in iTunes. It did in the beginning, however I had to change my MB Pro password. Now I get a permissions error message trying to sync: "error storing your authorization information on this computer." Can you help?
First I would just try deleting the SCInfo folder, restart your computer, open itunes and see if you are still getting the error, at that point if you are it is a permissions error with the computer specificaly and not in itunes.

that is for deleting the scinfo folder. scroll to the bottom of the article and the steps are there -
I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message. HELP!

Hi Guys
I have a major problem with file saving permissions
Current setup:
- 5 imac (10.6)
- 1 mac book pro (10.6)
- mac xserver
- Direct attached Raid Array
Issue:
When user "A" creates new files and folders to the shared drive on the raid array it automatically defaults to read only for all other users, and any time they try to add/delete/create files or folders in the fold user "A" created they get a permissions error. Therefor everybody else cannot edit the files
E.g. user A and user B quite often work on documents together and when user A stores it in the folder user A created then user B can only read it
has anybody come across this error before?
also i have tried changing permissions in get info as it defaults to read only soon as i change it to read and write and close the get info box it reverts back to read only ( the permissions group in called everybody)
Any help would be much appreciatedYou can try propagating the permissions on the root of the share, new files should inherit permissions from the parent folder, if that doesn't help, maybe try something with the umask

Mac OS X
Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type: "/Users" (without quotes) and click Go.
If the Shared folder exists
Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.
Depending on which version of Mac OS X you have, this step will vary:
On Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier, type:sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/Shared
On Mac OS X v10.6 or later, type:sudo chmod -R 1777 /Users/Shared
Press Return.
Quit Terminal.
If the Shared folder does not exist
The following steps will recreate the Shared folder if it is missing and ensure that it has been assigned using the correct permissions.
Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.
Type or copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window:sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared/
Press Return.
Enter your administrator account password when prompted, then press Return.
Depending on which version of Mac OS X you have, this step will vary:
On Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier, type:sudo chmod 777 /Users/Shared

I have microsoft 8.1 and Adobe 11.1.06 and I get a permissions error everytime I attempt to enter data into a form. How do I get rid of this annoying message?
Thanks for your questions.
1 Are these local or online documents?
Answer: Both they are IRS forms. I haven't tried other forms yet.
2. If online, in what browser?
Chrome does allow the fill-in with no errors. IE doe not even open the
form. The error message comes up when I have saved what I did and reopen for
additional editing.
3. What is the exact message you are getting?
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Once I close the message I can enter data into the field. When I click the
next field or scroll the message returns. I checked the properties and I
am allowed to fill in form.
Again thanks for your response. I did discover that I could fill in form
online without the error popping up, but that means I must have all of my
info prepared so I can do it in one session.
