Repair Disk Permissions getting busy with time

When my PowerBook was newer (8 months ago to 2 months ago), permissions repair rarely returned much in the info display window. Now it gives many lines of permission corrections. Often repeating the same ones. For example it often repairs many items in the Resource folder of the Apples DVD player. [ie. - We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Applications/DVD Player.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutBox.nib/objects.xib. New permissions are 33204]. Always the same permissions. It will display these same corrections upon immediately rerunning the repair from Disk Utility. When the PB was new, ran OSX 10.4.1. Now up to OSX 10.4.4
Most other repairs are Widgets. Many of which I have not used. Thus I have been deleting them.
Why should the content of the DVD player resource folder get constant permission repair attention?

You can safely ignore all of the "We are using special permissions...." messages. They are not errors.
There have been a lot more than with 10.4.0 but they don't mean there is a problem.
It looks bad, but it's not. There is an Apple KB article that explains it further (it needs to be updated to include the Widget, iDVD and any other lines that say "using special permisisons" but the idea is the same.

  • Repairing Disk Permissions - Not Working with Lion

    I simply am not able to repair disk permissions when my Mac is booted normally - the disk utility hangs and never stops - when I boot in recovery more I can run the utility just fine - and then boot as normal.  I am wondering what might be causing this or if anyone else is having a similar problem?

    With Lion, it is best to do any disk repairs via the recovery partition
    And why do you say that?  I have heard no such thing, and this was never the case with previous systems.  It has always been recommended to repair permissions while booted from the system whose permissions need to be repaired.  Do you have documentation that this recommendation has changed?
    Joe, repairing permissions works fine for me without needing to boot into recovery mode.  Are you giving it plenty of time to finish?  Sometimes it may seem to be frozen... sticking on "less than a minute" for well more than a minute, for example.  Have you repaired the hard drive (which you do need to boot from the recovery partition to do)?

  • Repair Disk Permissions same results three times

So I ran the Repair Permissions restarted my machine ran it again and got the same results from the repair permissions.  Hmm thats odd. So I booted into "Single User" Mode and ram fsck -y everything was OK there. Booted back into the OS and ran Repair Permissions again Same Permissions came back as fixed again. Hmm..  Here they are:

    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.

  • Repair Disk Permissions with Lion

    Installed Lion two days ago and thought I would "Verify/Repair Disk Permissions" for the first time with Lion. But I'm getting the warning message:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    I tried "Repair" twice and got the exact same message both times. I'm not sure if this is serious or not, and can't say for certain if it wouldn't have happened a week ago or few weeks ago (it's been nearly two months since last "Verfiy/Repair"). Any lessons, tips, instructions will be appreciated.

    Installed Lion on my 27" iMac (mid 2010) and everyday since it shuts down after start up.
    Called Apple they said repair permissions, after safe boot. Thats works but only for the next restart.
    When I shutdown and start up the next day I have to go thru the same process.
    Anybody else have this problem?

  • Leopard buggy and repairing disk permissions odd. realated?

    Is there any connection? Should I fix the situation that doesn't allow Dick Utility to repair my permissions? The apps quitting are driving me crazy!
    Thanks!

    There's no connection. See:

    Also, it's always a great idea to search the forum for keywords related to your question before starting a new thread -- there's often someone else out there asking the same thing, and sometimes even an answer. This question, for example, has been asked dozens of times.

  • Mini kernel panic after repairing disk permissions

    Repaired disk permissions per others' advice on here and other forums because my mini was running unacceptably slow. This didn't cure the problem so I used the tech tools disk that came with apple care- now, I get a kernel panic upon startup. I'm asked to restart the computer, I do it- and then I'm asked again!
    I called apple and they were defensive and rude. Frankly they didn't seem to care about whether or not I'd have to wipe my hard drive. Needless to say this is not something I want to do.
    It seems important to mention that I had an external hard drive connected to my computer- would this matter?
    Would repairing disk permissions CAUSE problems with my computer?
    When the disk repair program ran it said that there was a volume error- it fixed this error and then told me that the volume was error free.
    What can I do? I'm so frustrated! I love my computer and I really don't want to wipe the hard drive!

    We have all been there and we have all done the same thing, so you are part of the club.
    Apple uses a three number versioning system so you are almost there, but not quite.
    MacOS officially does not exist anymore. However, it wouldn't go over well with the then user base to call their next operating system for their computers NeXTstep as they felt the entire identy of a Mac was its OS or more specifically its look and feel.
    So they called it Mac OS 10 instead, opting for the roman numeral X.
    Mac OS X is pronounced Mac OS Ten, or simply OS Ten
    Now that 10 is out of the way.
    The second numeric position represents significant
    pause
    um yeah, some might argue with Tiger not as much so but significant changes to the OS.
    10.4
    There.. Each significant change was associate with a moniker representing a cat. 10.4 is associated with the Tiger, 10.3 with the Panther, 10.2 with the Jaguar, etc.
    So Tiger is Mac OS 10.4 or simply OS Ten dot Four
    Within each release is a bugfix release which also may contain usability enhancements and security patches.
    10.4.0 - the initial product release, also called a `Dot-Oh` release
    10.4.1 - the first round of bugfixes
    10.4.2 - the second round of bugfixes
    This continues on sequentially until theoretically the bugs are all fixed in the product but in reality means until the next significant release comes out; Leopard, OS 10.5.
    You should always be prepared for the possibility that a bugfix release may contain a security patch that significantly modifies and aspect of the file system that may break a disk utility application. In other words you always have to be vigilant with regards to that class of application.

    > I repair permissions using the Tiger disc upgrade.
    One thing to note...  When running Repair Disk Permissions, it is best to run it while started up normally, from your normal startup disk, not from a Mac OS X installation disc.  The only time you should run it while started up from an installation disc is if some problem is preventing you from starting up normally. OTOH, Repair Disk can only be used when starting up from a different disk (such as an installation disc).
    So, I would start up normally, run Disk Utility, and use Repair Disk Permissions on your normal startup disk.
    NOTE:  Repair Disk Permissions often gives alerts messages that can be ignored.  They are more "informational," not serious errors.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    You should still run it periodically.  When you run it, what needs to be repaired has been repaired; consider the rest of it an FYI.  I've never experience a problem, where a Repair Disk Permissions message actually caused a problem.  But, if you ever get an error while running Repair Disk (or Verify Disk), that is usually a serious problem.

  • CD Ejects with Error Code 9 - Repair Disk Permissions Greyed Out

    History:
    Superdrive 815CA Ejects Blank CD's to be burned w/ Error Code 9
    Exact Text:
    The Operation Could not be completed an unexpected error occured(error Code 9)
    The CD Ejects, but the Ghost Icon of the CD image would stay
    Plays previously burnt CD's/DVD's as well as market CD's/DVD's fine
    Went to Disk Utility
    Repair Disk Permissions(RDP) & Verify Disk Permissions(VDP) greyed out so you can'tclick them when I click on first aid
    The only time they weren't greyed was when I clicked to repair the Ghost Icon CD, of which the actual CD was ejected in the first place
    I cleaned the lens umteen million times - same problem
    I did the Hardware repair check w/the startup CD, same problem
    I bought a NEW frickin' Superdrive and installed it successfully- same problem
    I went to system preferences and selected the option to open the blank CD in I tunes.
    This worked for burning MP3's no problem
    HOWEVER it will not open in the finder, so I can't save any data from my desktop on to a CD/DVD, so my hard Drive is getting clogged
    Got a Hammer?

    I loaded at least 20 different BLANK CD's to experiment with.
    The same CD's which get spat out when I open it in finder, burn fine when i open them up in I tunes
    I've already bought a new drive and the same problem occurs as when i had the old drive (can't open in finder), so i believe the bad drive and bad CD premise has been troubleshot.
    It seems like it won't recognize the Drive or CD when i try to launch a CD from the finder
    The blank CD's burn music fine when I open it up in I tunes, but not when I try to open it up in the finder when i try to put data on the CD's.

  • How to repair disk permissions inside Time Machine?

    I need to restore my .sites file for iWeb from Time Machine, but when I try I get the following error:
    "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." What IS restored are a few (10 or so) .jpg files that were part of my site that once contained thousands of pictures, dozens of movies, and three years of work. The file details inside Time Machine ("Quick View") is 972MB, but again -- what is actually restored is only about 10 pics of a mb each.
    Does anyone know how to repair disk permissions for a file inside Time Machine? In Disk Utility the button to repair permissions is grayed out when I select Time Machine volume.
    Much thanks in advance!

    I have the same issue (and circumvented it by copying the files with "cp" from the unix shell). The permissions on the TM disk don't really look wrong, and the fact that I can copy the files means that they aren't read protected.
    There seems to be some serious bug in Time Machine here, my guess is that the TM restore operation somehow does things in the wrong order (like copying with preserved access lists to a temporary location and then try to move the files from there. This won't work since the files will be protected with access lists from accidental removal on the TM disk).

    Permissions repair complete
    Anyone know what's wrong?

    There is no error. You could repair permissions continuously and these same notifications will show up.
    Recent updates to iPhoto, Front Row, and an update for RAW compatibility have resulted in these permissions differences. Rather than replacing the old permissions with a new one, the system sees a symbolic "link" (the L you see in front of the permissions).
    Nothing is wrong with your machine--we're all getting these notifications. Hopefully a system update will change the permissions for us in the future.

  • 20 minutes to Repair Disk Permissions.  Every time.

    In trying to diagnose some other issues, I have had to repair disk permissions several times over the past week. Each time I have run it, it was 15 minutes before it was finished and each time (if I remember correctly) I have been met with a slew of messages like this one:
    Group differs on "Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app/Contents/Frameworks/DUSupport.framework/Versions/Current", should be 80, group is 0.
    I cannot remember if the "should be" was always 80, but the "group is" was always 0. Does anyone have some insight on this one? Is this bad? I can't say that I get any sense from the message that permissions were repaired. I do not know if the files in question have been the same each time or not.

    repair permissions takes much longer in leopard. 20 minutes is quite normal on your hardware. I think that group difference message is harmless and can be ignored but you can change the group on Disk utility and other apps if you want to.
    The group on everything in the Applications folder should be admin (gid=80).
    Run the following command in terminal
    *sudo chgrp -R admin /Applications*
    you'll have to enter you admin password (which you won't see) that's normal.

  • Problems with Repair Disk Permissions

    I am running Mavericks 10.9.5 on a new (2013) Mac Pro.  When I run disk permissions I get a LONG list of repaired files and then the message that the process is complete.  But if I then run the repair routine again I get ANOTHER equally long list of DIFFERENT permissions that are supposedly being repaired.  This goes on ad infinitum.  If I run Repair Disk Permissions on my other computers multiple times no additional permissions show up after running the program once.  Any idea why this might be occurring?

    You can safely  ignore those messages.
