Repair Permissions and Disk Options

Using the Apple Disk Utility...
What the difference between running Repair/Verify (Permissions or the Disk itself) on the hard drive or the boot volume listed in the window?
Some say just run it on the boot volume, others say run it on both.
Is there an advantage in doing both (if so, why) or should it be just the boot volume?
Thanks.

Hi Robotech One-
These two documents should help explain the difference:

  • Repairing permissions and disk from downloaded upgrade from Leopard to Lion.

    Can I make a boot disk from a downloaded version of 10.7.5? I need to repair disk and disk permissions from a boot disk, and my Leopard disk will not boot the air w/ 10.7 Lion.

    You do that by booting into recovey mode (⌘R) and running Disk Utility from there.

  • No issues, but curious..why do I always get permissions repaired when I click on 'repair permissions in Disk Utility......it usually has to do with core permissions and it's happened since i got this MacBook Pro in 3/11..it continues with 10.7

  • Repair permissions in Disk Utility won't stop

    OK, I've never done permissions repair on our MacBook Pro 15" (2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  (My apologies to the fastidious cleaners among this group.)  I've done multiple upgrades over the past 4 or so years that we've owned it, including the latest upgrade to Lion for iCloud purposes.  Because of processing time issues with Safari, I (a) cleared its cache, (b) deleted certain files in Home/Library/Safari (form values and download.plist) and in Home/Library/Preferences (com.apple.Safari.plist) and (c) tried to repair permissions in Disk Utility.  All of this was per the recommendations of another Apple discussion group.  (I also purchased (but have not yet installed) additional RAM to accommodate Lion and to address general operating slowness.)  I started repair permissions about 11 or 12 hours ago and it's still going!  While our MBP has a boatload of files on it, I'm wondering whether this is normal?  Should I stop it and try something else?  Thanks.

    Cancel out of the Repair Permisisons and reboot the computer and start Safari.
    Download this free program called OnyX and run ALL the checks, cleaning and maintainance tasks and reboot at the end.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    OnyX is much safer to use because it reminds you to reboot the computer to rebuild the cache files, which you likely didn't do, then went to Repair Permissions and files were missing and ikely the reason why it got stuck, but it could be something far worse and hopefully OnyX will reveal more details with the initial checks.
    This is what I would do in your case.
    Lion will run much better with more memory than 2GB, however I would seriously consider fixing your OS X and software issues first before upgrading the RAM.
    While your inside the machine replacing RAM, you might as well replace the hard drive with a newer faster, 7,200 RPM drive too and rebuild the whole OS from the ground up.
    Because your machine was upgraded one OS over another, you likely got a lot of cr*p built up and seriously need to consider doing a
    backup of files on a external drive, better a whole drive clone
    a format and "fresh install" of 10.5 on the new internal drive, use the same username and hard drive name as before
    then upgrading to 10.6, make another clone here on another external drive
    then upgrading to 10.7, followed by installing all your necessary programs fresh from orignal sources
    and finally returning the contents of your user files folders (Music, Documents, Pictures, Movies etc) from backup right back into the same folders on the new configuration.
    In that order as it's important for maintaining perfromance that the user files are returned last. Hard drives are faster up front than they are as they get filled up, since programs and OS doesn't move around much, installing them first as it's up front where the perfromance is best and your files, which do change often, are placed further down into free space thus the OS and programs remain fast for a longer period of time.
    It is a LOT of work and you have a LOT to learn, but you got a older computer that you have neglected for some time and your trying to run a newer operating system. Good thing is your processor and video card are decent, so the computer has potential to live like a new machine. If your willing to apply labor or have a Mac geek do it for you. Else your looking at a buying a new machine prematurely.
    If you can't c boot off the 10.5 grey disks, then your just going to have to start with 10.6 and buy iLife at the AppStore when you download Lion again with your AppleID (option click on Purchases)

    Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13

    After installing iTunes update 11.1, I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13. When I attempt to repair Disk Permissions, there appear dozens of items showing that "Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app....", then it says that it has been repaired. However, when I do a second or third repair immediately afterwards, I see the same thing again.
    About my mac:
    Thanks for any help.

    Error when opening: "DiscoBrick 1.60. Unable to locate the <> plugin. Repair permissions and retry."

    I also got this error this morning. DiscoBrick is just a visual plug-in for itunes that i don't even use, so i just uninstalled it and that solved my problem.
    Go to     MacHD/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug Ins/      then delete DiscoBrick.
    If you still want it you could try re-installing it again

  • Can't Repair Permissions and other issues

    Just updated to 10.5.2 and started having some video problems. The laptop won't wake from sleep, or if it does, the screen may go blank again. Also, upon waking sometimes, the mouse seems sluggish almost as if there is a remote user. Tried repairing permissions and can't get it to repair permissions. Also, when I switch users or try to authorize installations, it tells me the user name or password of one of the administrator's is incorrect and I know it's not. Very strange things.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Did you backup your data before updating?

  • FileVault off or on when repairing permissions and updating software?

    Does anyone know if FileVault can be left on when repairing permissions and installing apple software updates. I have been turning it off before doing so, but not sure if that's needed. I've been doing that just to be on the safe side.
    Using an iMac DVD, with an external firewire HD with OS X 10.3.9 on one of the partitions.
    Thanks for any info
    iMac DVD +   Mac OS 9.1.x   G3

    FileVault only affects your home folder. Permissions repair repairs only permissions on installed OS packages, which are in system folders. Apple software updates make changes to system folders. Since the system folders aren't affected by FileVault, leaving FV on shouldn't affect these operations.

  • Why don't I see the log when I repair permissions with Disk Utility

    I'm having issues with Safari hanging or bogging down to a snail's pace lately. I have tried several times to repair permissions with Disk Utility. It runs for several minutes, but shows nothing in the log even though the box is checked to show details. I've never seen this before. I don't know if Disk Utility is doing it's job or not....
    Any thoughts?

    If the progress bar goes to the end, then you don't have any permissions needing repair. The fact that Safari is slowing down has nothing really to do with permissions.

  • 10.5.1: Disk Repair Permissions and SUID's

    In 10.5.0 I had 3 entries while repairing permissions:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    and the 2 ACL found lines...
    After 10.5.1 was installed...
    Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    and of course...
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    The ACL lines have disappeared.
    Can anybody explain this? And should I be concerned?
    Thanks Chuck

    Frankly, I think there are few to any warnings that Repair Permissions throws that you should be worried about, EVER.
    People think repairing permissions "repairs" things. It really doesn't "repair" anything. It CHECKS permissions against a set of files which indicate what they were when things were installed. If these permissions were changed in some way (sometimes, this was done INTENTIONALLY), repair permissions will throw errors or warnings, which can be benign.

  • Repair permissions with disk utility not showing details

    I've recently upgraded from Lion OSX 10.7.5 directly to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.3.
    1. Now, every time I use the Disk Utility to repair permissions, the details of the repair are missing. Not that I really need to see the repairs but the information confirmed that something was done. Now I see only what appears on the attached screen shot at the end of the repair.
    When I had OSX 10.7, I always saw which files were repaired.
    2. Also, the estimated time for repair is off. Under Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.3, the estimate says a fixed "1 minute" and remains so until finished. I just time the repair at 3.5 minutes and the estimate remained at 1 minute.
    Under OSX 10.7 the repair time estimate would begin at 23 minutes or so then quickly work itself down in minutes until the repair was completed.
    Can anyone tell me what's going with my iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.8.3).

    James --
    Over the years, the function or understanding of Repair Permissions has changed drastically.  When I first came here in 2004, lots of people thought RP was the "be all, and end all" of all Mac problems. (Myself included.)  It was right up there with "take two aspirins, and call me in the morning." kind of response.
    In fact, the notations you see are not in fact "errors."  They're notations.  And if you run them all day, you will almost always see the same ones over and over. 
    Every once in a while, if you experiences really wonky problems that seem unexplanable, the option to RP makes sense. Especially after a huge major application installation, especially Adobe apps
    RP is not like a regular maintenance procedure.  So, if you're not expelriencing very significant problems with your Mac, repairing permissions is probably not a good use of your time.

  • Grayed out repair permissions in disk first aid

    on a large external drive which once was read/write is now read only in 10.5
    permissions read:
    user(Me) Read&Write - false info
    (unknown) Read&Write
    everyone Read&Write - false info
    ignore ownership is checked
    the internal and system drive appear clean of this issue
    other posts mention how directories within the internal get this bug but it seems no one is having an external permissions issue.
    i am.
    i've tried:
    disk utility but repair permissions is grayed out for that drive whether from the install disk boot or the internal.
    various unix solutions but all return a "denied" statement
    creating accounts with a 80 GID as well as assorted system and admin groups
    attaching the drive to a mac running 10.4 but permissions arent accepting changes there either.
    now i know some of you are thinking back off the drive and initialize it.
    you're right but it is sizable and would be costly in time and hardware to manage that.
    so it seems a matter of running a repair on permissions would be best...
    but how to enable the option?

    In general whatever the problem it is NOT a good idea to run DU file permissions on an external drive. Permissions only apply to the active OS on the active drive.
    If the external drive is a bootable system, then you can run the proper DU on it, but only when it is the actual system.
