Repair Disk Permissions - ODD !

I learnt yesterday about the importance of Repairing Disk Permissions although I admit it makes no sense to me why the whole permissions thing is about and the Apple web page about it may as well be in martian. Nonetheless I did repair disk permissions on my MBPro with 10.4.11.
So today I turned to my new MacPro with OSX 10.5.7 which I've had for 3 months and did a Repair Disk Permissions to see what happened. Slowly it created a LONG list of Permissions that differ and repaired them, eg: Application/iTunes....../Code Resources, should be -rw-rw-r-- they are lrw-rw--
Then, I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.0 and thought it best to follow the advice and do another Repair Disk Permissions.
Yet again, this task took a long time (much longer than it does on my MBPro with 10.4.11) and I can't be sure but I swear it identified some of the same permissions that needed repairing before, which supposedly were repaired, less than 30 minutes ago. EG : that listed above !
WHY would it need to repair permissions twice if the only thing going on in the interim was playing music on iTunes and downloading Firefox via Safari ?

Niel,
just so you know where I got the idea from, KLAUS1 Posted: Jun 13, 2009 8:16 PM
"*Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update*."

  • Leopard buggy and repairing disk permissions odd. realated?

    Since installing 10.5 I've been having problems with apps quitting unexpectedly -- mostly mail, safari, and Final Cut suite programs.

    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:

  • Can't repair disk permissions on sparsebundle

    I have a 2TB Time Capsule that I've used for months without issue. I back up 2 machines to it (my wife's MacBook Pro and my iMac). Recently, when it backs up, I've noticed that it's sometimes backing up more than it should (i.e., I only added a few small files, yet the backup is indicating that several GB are being backed up). Conversely, other times I've added several video files that are upwards of 2 or 3 GB collectively, and the backup says that it's only backing up 300 MB worth of files. My exclusions are fine and accurate. I recently went into Time Machine and found that several recent additions are not there in my most recent backup. I've erased the Time Capsule a few times recently and did full restores overnight, but the problem keeps occurring. Today, I added my wife's sparsebundle file to Disk Utility and it repaired fine. When I add my sparesebundle to Disk Utility, the color wheel appears and then Disk Utility stops responding. Is this a hardware issue? I'm believing it is since I've erased the disk several times, but I welcome ideas that will prevent me from having to purchase a new backup disk . Thanks for listening!!

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You can't repair permissions on a Time Capsule, because it doesn't have OSX installed on it, and you can only repair permissions on files that were installed by OSX or Apple apps.

    See #A2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for a couple of apps that will show exactly what's getting backed-up.

    See #D5 in the same place, for some possible reasons and fixes. It sounds like you may have the problem detailed in red.
    Today, I added my wife's sparsebundle file to Disk Utility and it repaired fine. When I add my sparesebundle to Disk Utility, the color wheel appears and then Disk Utility stops responding.
    I assume you mean you dragged it into Disk Utility's sidebar? If so, do you mean the sparse bundle never mounts, and you can't select it, or it hangs after you click +*Repair Disk?+*
    Oddly enough, the names of some things can cause problems with Time Machine backups over a network. See #C9 in Troubleshooting.

  • Repair disk permissions grayed out

    Hello,
    I have a WD External Drive that I use for Time Machine backup. Recently have had no backup (about 20 days) and finally decided to look into it. I use this one at work and have brought it home to work on what is wrong. Have tried to repair disk permissions, but option is grayed out. I have however been able to repair disk. It took 8 hours to repair disk which reported no problems.
    I have tried to copy files from the backup disk to another disk, but it won't work (don't remember exact message-but it was something odd).
    From another thread, I was trying to do this command:
    sudo /usr/sbin/chown _installer:admin /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    and got this response:
    Home-Power-Mac-G5:~ paul$ sudo /usr/sbin/chown _installer:admin /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    Password:
    paul is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
    so, I then try this command:
    ls -leO /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    and get this response:
    -rw------- 1 _installer wheel - 266133504 Dec 15 22:03 /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb
    WHAT do I do now? I want to first back up all files then reformat drive to start anew.

    Hi Christopher Graham;
    Since Repair Permission is repair the permissions for the system there has to be a system on the partition in order to not have that button ghosted. As far as Disk Utility can tell a Time Machine backup is not a System hence it is ghosted.

  • Oddity when attempting to repair disk permissions...

    I upgraded to Leopard recently and have been encountering some bizarre issues as of late. For one, it doesn't start up anywhere near as fast as it did when I first installed Leopard. And as far as the reason I'm posting this right now, all the Disk Utility processes seem to take a really long time, longer than usual. I'm running 10.5.2.
    Per example, I verify my disk permissions, and it sits for at least 3-5 minutes with the progress bar locked at about 1/8th complete and the time remaining is indicated as less than one minute. Then it moves forward and completes the process in anywhere between another 3-5 minutes. The same occurs when I repair disk permissions or even verify the disk entirely.
    Also, I'm getting the following log message. It's particularly weird because the exact same message shows up in the log after verifying and then repairing disk permissions, as if the repair process isn't actually repairing anything.
    *Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw-------, they are -rw-r-----.*
    *ACL found but not expected on "Library".*
    Again, this log message is displayed after completing each process. Quite odd... any thoughts? Please advise! Thanks in advance.

    In a nutshell, repairing permissions w/Leopard takes anywhere from 10-40 minutes, depending on what's installed and what's contained in /Library/Receipts/bom/. The repair permissions operation has changed in Leopard. The stalled progress bar is an unresolved bug (they haven't figured out how to make it work whilst it's checking or rebuilding the a.receiptdb, in /Library/Receipts/db/. To see what's really going on, open that folder in a Finder window, select list view, launch Disk Utility, select your boot volume, and click on repair permissions. Watch the Finder window flash files that are being read and checked against the current a.receiptdb file. That's what's taking all the time and freezing the progress bar. Once that's finished, the progress bar starts moving and the permissions are being checked and repaired. Also note, that you won't get any *they were repaired message* back for any that are noted to be incorrect.

  • New macbook pro, safari won't open and repair disk permissions did nothing to help

    Safari starts, blue bar moves about an inch in search bar, then stops. Then nothing. Tried repairing disk permissions to no avail. Safari still doesn't open. Whatever os x that is installed on new macbook pro's, since just bought on Sunday 10-14-12, is the operating software. The apple store there is no user manual. Strange. So here we are on another, older macbook pro, able to go on internet and see what answers or diagnoses others have tried and trued.

    3 days old?, just pack the machine up and tell them you want another one, that this one is a lemon.
    They will likely take your word for it and just give you another rather than you demand your money back instead.
    If you wait too long then they say you should have brought it back sooner, now have to wait until it's fixed, only to give you more problems later.

  • Constantly having to repair disk permissions after hanging system

    From the time I purchased this I've had ongoing issues with the java, flash, OS updates causing the computer to hang forever. Sometimes I end up having to press the off button because Command Q and Command/Option/Escape won't allow a force quit even after a 20 minute wait. I don't know enough about what's going on behind the boot up to know what's wrong. Here is a copy of my console log and this is exactly what they look like each time after I have gone in and done a disk verify, (says it's okay) and then repair disk permissions. I've had to boot to safe mode 3 times today and repair permissions due to this issue. There is nothing plugged into the computer except the power cord. The OS is up to date per Software Update and the only 3rd party software installed is SKYPE ...

    Can anyone see the issue or tell me what I need to do to fix this thing???

    Which MacBook model? Did it come with OSX 10.6 or did you upgrade it?

  • I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

    Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

  • Repair Disk Permissions Issues

    I'm not sure I am posting this in the correct community but here goes . . .
    I have a 17" Macbook Pro running the latest version of Snow Leopard. It is almost 2 years old and I have 4 gb RAM.
    Recently, it seems to be slowing down and I have to run repair disk permissions 2-3 times a week to recoup a little speed. I also delete my Firefox cache regularly to try to gain a little there. I do make a few videos in iMovie and initially I thought that was the problem but this week I have not really worked in iMovie much and it is still slow. There seems to be some issues in the log of the repair permissions. I hope they show in this image. I don't know what these mean or how to fix them. It is the "permissions differ" entries I am confused about.

    You can ignore those permissions per support article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21090
    Since you brought up iMove, I suspect your storage is nearly full as this most certainly causes the computer to slow down. video files are the biggest culprit.
    Look in your Activity Monitor and reduce the drive space by copying to a external, Disk Utility HFS+ formatted external powered drive of unnecessary files so your boot drive is ideally below 50% filled (yea I know but the computer slows down after that) and not more than 75% filled.
    Once you have done that. Get another newer external powered HFS drive and download the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the internal drive to the external.
    Hold option and boot off the external clone, test it out then use Disk Utility to erase the internal and then reverse clone the external onto the internal, this will defragment and optimize your drive so the OS and programs are on the fast part of the drive, not the slow parts.
    Reboot into the internal and run off of the free OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Sir speedy machine here we come!
    Now of course you may have other issues that could be causing your slow down, like not enough RAM or some sort of failed process or leftover program, tweaks or simply a slow Internet.
    You can opt to simply reinstall OS X 10.6 ( by holding c and booting off the installer disk ) over your installed version (doesn't touch files or programs) then immediatly Software Updating until clear, that will clean anything hanging out in OS X.
    If you still have slowdowns, then it's in what geeks call "User land" basically something installed outside of root, like a program or only runs in user, not in OS X.
    For that you need to create a new user, transfer your files via the Shared Drop and wean yourself off the old user and finally delete it. Also install all new versions of your third party programs removing the originals first.
    That should do it.

  • Repair Disk Permissions utility stalled - I have read the knowledge base

    I have researched the knowledge base and search for posts on this and cannot find answer: Running 10.4 at the latest version. used the original install 1 disc I received with Tiger to repair disc permissions (like Apple support has told me to do in the past, but my current research said I do not need to do this unless certain parameters are met, and none of the parameters applied, but oh well, I am here anyway). Cold Boot from the original install disc 1 and slected the start up disk I use (I only have one start up disc/drive). Did a repair disc permissions and got a long running routine that reporting a lot of fixes, then the utility has stalled -- no progress on the progress bar. I "stopped" the process using the "stop repair" button (three times). The log reflected the utility stopped, but the progress bar still is blue and not moving (for a couple of hours). When I go to quity File >Disk Utility, it warns me that Disk Utility is running and this may make my system unstable/unsuable.
    QUESTION: CAN I JUST QUIT DISK UTILITY AND NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE AFFECT ON MY IMAC DRIVE?

    Thanks for your advice, I still have an issue:
    -after the first repair disk permission "stalled" process, I exited Disk Utility and cold booted the machine after I had disconnected all external devices other than the original iMac keyboard
    -obtained the combo patch for 10.4.7 from the Apple download site (it had already been installed but I reinstalled per your advice)
    -re-applied the combo patch and then did another cold boot
    -ran Disk Utility from the original Tiger install #1 disk, and then selected "repair disk permissions" for my start up disk (I only have one)
    - process ran for 10 minutes or so then gave the following error message: "Disk Utility Error: Disk Utility has lost its connection with disk utility management tool and cannot continue. Please quit disk utility and re-launch disk utility"
    - I pushed the "stop disk permission repair" button, then quit disk utility, then cold booted the machine again.
    -re-applied combo patch as above, then cold booted the machine
    -ran disk utility from the original iMac install #1 disk, ran "repair disk permissions", and then received the same error message as above.
    - I then just quit Disk Utility and cold booted the machine again and went about my business. There does not seem to be any problem with the machine (was not before, but I ran repair permissions thinkging this was a routine maintenance taks that should be run)
    - in my prior search of the knowledge base, I found the following information about repair disk permissions:

    How often should I Repair Permissions?
    You do not need to Repair Permissions on a regular basis.
    There are only three occasions you need to do this:
    1. When you have just installed something that required you to run an Installer, rather than just copying some software to a folder. This should be done for both Apple and non-Apple software.
    2. When you have been working on your OS X files or folders while booted from OS 9, or remotely connected via a non-OS X machine, since OS 9 and other systems do not handle OS X's permissions correctly.
    3. The other case is if your system is behaving strangely, when you should run Disk Repair from your CD followed by Repair Permissions. This is just to eliminate these things before going on to further trouble-shooting.
    Otherwise you can happily forget about Permissions!"
    So, it would appear I do not need to do anything else; the machine seems to be working properly. Is there anything else I need to do? thanks for the help! Bob

  • Need advice on Repairing Disk Permissions...

    I need some input from those who know how to Repair Disk Permissions (under Disk Utility, for those who don't know).
    Basically, I lost a TON of my Access and Privileges on my G4 recently--which I really only noticed after iTunes would no longer let me import anything (no matter how many times I tried changing the Ownership & Permissions on my Music folder's Info section)--which, I might add, I suffered due to a virus caused by Limewire. As had been suggested to me, I Verified Disk Permissions, and saw that I had a TON of problems listed on my startup HD. So I'm now seeking ways to repair them.
    Now, the most obvious way is using the Repair Disk Permissions program (which I've actually never had to use before). However, under OS10.3.9, when I select the Repair Disk Permissions on Disk Utility, in listing all my Drives available, it actually shows the drive in 2 formats/pictures:
    1) the actual technical name/manufactor model/GB size of the drive (on top), and
    2) the Desktop name and Icon picture of the Drive as it appears on my desktop.
    This confuses me: as you can guess, the startup Drive in question is only partioned as one. So on Disk Utility, which of these 2 pictured drives do I have to highlight and Repair Disk Permissions to (i.e. 19GB Maxtor32049 Vs. 'HAL')?
    Also, for those of you who have used other means (programs) to change Disk Permissions, which would you recommend? For example, I got a program from Versiontracker called BatCHmod, but I don't know if something like it is any safer than just using Repair Disk Permissions. Because unfortunately, I'm running out of room on my disk, and don't have nearly enough space on my other drive to hope to back the whole Drive up to.
    Please help!!!

    Hi phasmatrope!
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk HAL, in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
    "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
    New permissions are 33261"
    This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.
    Or these:
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"
    Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.
    There may be others that you can ignore. Complete lists at link below.

    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

  • Repair disk permissions

    why did upgrading my software to snow leopard cause my 'repair disk permissions' to endlessly fail when it never failed once before? by the way i heard all the debate of how repairing disk permissions is or is not important to do. at this point i'm not interested in opinions of why it's important or not i'm just interested in fixing this now existing problem. my software is all updated. any answers appreciated.

    exactly my point, it worked perfectly. it corrected lines that contained characters that affected my disk burner.

    just ignore the problem=apple failure
