"repair permissions" isn't actually repairing permissions?

it seems that "repair permissions" isn't actually repairing permissions here.
I've just come home, switched the Macbook and thought I'd verify permissions again.
"Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works/QuartzComposer.framework", should be lrwxr-xr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x ."
and
"Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works/ImageKit.framework", should be lrwxr-xr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x ."
.... came up. I repaired, rebooted and re-verified. The same two entries came up again.

Where are our Apple gurus?
I can't speak for any gurus, but where I've been is doing other things for the last couple of days because the Apple Discussions software/servers were so seriously messed up that attempting to do anything in AD was quite pointless, and led to having a very bad attitude due to frustration.
As to whether you actually have a problem: as long as everything works, and the real folders are where they are supposed to be, don't worry about it.
This one:
System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Framewo rks/QuartzComposer.framework
Should have the original here:
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzCompose r.framework"
It the originals are in place, having extra copies rather than symbolic links doesn't matter. You just have an extra 25MBs of space taken up by duplicate folders.

    Consecutive running of repair produces same result - so, clearly NONE of the "repairs" have actually been "repaired!" Also, anyone know what the heck the LAST ENTRY means? I CERTAINLY HAVE NOT REPAIRED AN SUID FILE!!

    Apple says to ignore this. It is a known issue.

  • Permissions actually repaired?

    I've read several other threads concerning this topic. Pages and pages of the exact same permissions that are repaired each time the function is triggered, mostly involving Quicktime.
    All updates installed and everything works well except for a few annoying quirks, like Safari not loading local news pages when other browsers will load them readily. Many mpeg clips won't play; massage states 'Quicktime requires additional software'. Same answers in every thread I viewed too.
    Supposing I'm looking for more substantive answers.
    1. Do not be concerned.
    2. This is normal.
    3. This is to be expected.
    Sounds like something issued by the Ministry of Truth in a George Orwell book. My question: Are 'back doors' for use by government agencies being installed in our machines without our knowledge?
    Still looking for an honest, competent 3rd party repair shop who will repair my Pismo. 20 months, 3 'Authorized Apple Repair' shops and at least $1000 later I still have an inoperable unit sitting on another desk here in my office. Last contact was "Make an appointment, bring it by and we'll show you how to turn it on".
    I thought about humoring them but its too far to drive (100 miles). Thinking when my Macbook Pro can no longer be repaired at the Repair Depot or at an Apple Store then its toast. Sad and pathetic.

  • Why did so many permissions need to be repaired after Mavericks?

    Here's my story regarding Repairng Permissions; its seems a repair is the only thing keeping my Mac running.
    I've a Mac Book Pro 15" Spring 2011, been doing the upgrades etc ever since, but after Mavericks upgrade I was having issues never seen before with my Apple upgrades.  In short after upgrade I was getting gray screen, blue screen etc. Random screen splits with horizontal lines.
    Took many tries to reboot, safe reboot, clear pram, etc.  I ran EtreCheck got rid of lots of things. I broke out disk and ran full hardware test - all good.  I have reinstalled OS X, as well as done two clean reinstalls of everything.  Even after that, I would still crash from time to time, with gray and blue screen either after re-awakening or simply opening iPhoto.
    Nothing in panic or crash logs except this: 12/29/13 1:49:17.286 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[294]: (com.apple.ReportCrash) Falling back to default Mach exception handler. Could not find: com.apple.ReportCrash.Self
    Once I finally got in, I went to disk utiloity and ran verify permissions and saw many issues, then ran repair disk permissions.  I wanted to keep the log of all the changes and went to print and save as PDF - it was over 521 pages of permissions fixed! I didn't bother saving that file, I wish I did now.
    I've been runing about 2 days without blue, gray crash so I am hoping that fixed it - but if this was a plane, no way would I fly it.
    My question:  After the both reinstalls and clean installs, why would so many permissions need to be repaired?

    For some reason, after I run repair permissions in Disk Utility, I can run it again, and the same problems are "corrected."
    That's a waste of time.
    Is Disk Utility actually doing anything?
    Basically, nothing on second or subsequent runs when the function is used repeatedly.
    It seems like every time I run repair permissions the same problems are present. Has this happened to anyone else?

  • More permissions to ignore after 'Repairing'?

    I ran the usual 'Software Update' to update both iTunes (to 8.2) and QuickTime (to 6.4.2) and all was successful.
    I then ran 'Repair Disk Permissions' and was greeted by the normal 'Front Row, iTunes iPhoto' listings which we have been told to ignore as well as a significant number of new 'QuickTime' listings shown below (sorry for the length):

    So the question remains: "Are we supposed to ignore these as well"?
    Any comments of knowledge or other users experiencing the same welcome.
    Note - I ran the repair three times to verify the same list and did not include the 'Front Row, iTunes and iPhoto' portions of the list that were there previous to the update and have been persistent for a while now.

    nerowolfe,
    Thanks for replying.
    I just ran the repair with the 'Show Details' option deselected.
    Results were clean (no items listed) after a completed repair procedure.
    Can you shed some light on what can be assumed from this?
    Yes. While these multiple warnings etc. are quite annoying and have grown in number over the years, only real warnings (those that show up when the "Show Details" box is unchecked) are important. None of what you see will have any deleterious effect on system performance.
    Most of us agree that they are annoying and are surprised that Apple has not addressed them yet.
    Note - I had been a Windows user since the early 1990's and a power user for the final 5 years - then I finally decided to switch completely to the Mac system (with no regrets whatsoever) about 18 months ago. I do however retain the same interest in knowing the foundations of the Mac system so I can maintain an efficient and safe working system.
    There are no similar permissions in Windows but in Windows it is necessary to defragment and run chkdsk regularly to do actual repairs on the filesystem. Such is not the case with Leopard. Usually I run permissions repair before and after a large update. Once in a great while I run a check on the HD.
    Any information you care to share would be great.
    I always use the manual combo updates, never the auto software updates for major OS updates. For the other updates I use the auto software updater.
    I never install more than one update at a time, even those that do not require a reboot.
    I also have never had any issues to speak of with any of my 3 Macs. But then I have not had any major issues with my PCs or my XP and Vista installations on my MBPs.
    I do not think luck is involved. My personal experience, while only anecdotal, is that I have never had a bad update. Most, but not all of the problems on these board are only indirectly related to the updates.
    My reasoning is that there are millions of Leopard users, and only a very small number of them have problems. We never hear from the happy campers because they have no reason to post here.

  • Permissions can't be repaired

    I'm having some apparently random kernel panics which I'm trying to track down. Attempts at permissions repair (using both Apple Disk Utility and Diskwarrior) give me a list of the following permissions that "have been modified and will not be repaired":
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" 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
    Warning: SUID file "sbin/umount" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/
    Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Extensions/webdavfs.kext/Contents/Resources/loadwebdav" has been
    modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/pppd" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Also, each permission repair throws up the same vast list of incorrect permissions but with no indication that the permissions were fixed - for example:
    "Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework/Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -
    rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--"
    But it never tells me "owner and group corrected" or "permissions corrected" - is this a change in reporting since Tiger or is Leopard's disk utility just verifying when I tell it to repair? The same long list of issues keeps showing up each time...
    I'm DEFINITELY using "REPAIR disk permissions" and not just "verify disk permissions". Have tried repairing using Apple Disk Utility on the MBP, and also by booting from two different firewire drives (one carrying a clone of the MBP system, the other a Time Machine backup with a clone of the installer disk on it). I've also tried repairing permissions using Disk Warrior 4.1 with the same result.
    What next?
    I have multiple backups of my data and a Time Machine backup - if necessary I can do a clean reinstall of the OS and then restore my account from the Time Machine backup. If this is necessary, would welcome advice on the best strategy (restoring from time machine during OS installation or using Migration assistant after installation is complete).

    several of those errors can be safely ignored. Some others of the ones you mention are not listed on that page and I don't know about them. Is your computer behaving strangely?
    I'm getting intermittent kernel panics (which I acknowledge may be nothing to do with this issue), apart from that it seems to run fine.
    Thus the vast majority of messages reported by users are false positives and can be ignored, but technically, due to the sensitive nature of 'setuid' files "SUID" messages should only be ignored after confirming that they are in fact false positives.
    As Pullman points out, the following alerts I'm getting aren't listed in the apple document:
    Warning: SUID file "sbin/umount" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Extensions/webdavfs.kext/Contents/Resources/loadwebdav" has been
    modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/pppd" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" has been modified and will not be repaired
    Question is, what next? I've taken various other actions in regard to the kernel panics (such as uninstalling potentially problematic software and dumping corrupted prefs files) I'm waiting to see if any of those actions have solved the problem. Should I be worrying about the SUID alerts as a separate problem or just hope the next software update fixes them?

  • PErmissions repair says done, but second repair shows same issues

    After I repair permissions, a list of repaired files is shown and "Permissions repair complete". I decided to run it again immediately just on a lark. The same list of files appeared and the same "Permissions repair complete". I booted to the Leopard install DVD and ran permissions repair -- twice -- same issue. I know an Archive install will fix it, but any other suggestions? Use Pacifist to extract and replace the troubled files?

    Yesterday I ran Disk Utility and came up with hundreds of permissions that needed repair.  I hit the "repair permissions" button and waited until it said they were repaired, but just for fun I hit the "verify permissions" button again, and they all came back!  I did this several more times and every time I would hit "verify permissions" I would get the same list.  What's up?  I've always suspected diagnostic programs, but this is Apple's own!

    Ignore them. They aren't errors. You will keep seeing the same ones. As long as you get the message "Permissions repair complete," you're OK.

  • Disk permissions that cannot be repaired

    I have two disk permissions that cannot be repaired and wanted to know if there was anything I can do about them. The are: Warning: SUID file "System/library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool"has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/lppasswd" had been modified and will not be repaired
    I just uninstalled Skype and reinstalled it than ran repair disk permission when these showed up. I have run repair disk permissions several times afterward and they always show up now. Thanks for any help!

    Installing OS X 5.5 combo upgrade will clear the problem. I had exactly the same warning downloaded the combo and install straight over the incremental 5.5 update and everything is now fine. Here is the link

  • Repair permissions never seems to repair

    I always seem to have a ton of issues when I run Repair Permissions. For example, I ran it twice in a row, one immediately after the other and most of the same errors were identified in the second run despite supposedly being repaired a minute or two earlier. What gives?
    First run:
    Repairing permissions for “Main”
    Reading permissions database.
    Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

    Permissions repair complete

    HI Steve,
    These "messages" are not "errors" that mean anything is wrong. Nothing is wrong, and some future update will likely address the issue. For now you can simply ignore them.
    If you see any relating to SUID, see here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    The only time it's necessary to repair disk permissions is before and after all software updates.
    And it can take as long as 10 to 15 minutes in some cases.

  • Leopard Disc Permissions Corrupted, Won't Repair

    1. TechTool support recommend that I check disc permissions to solve a login issue. Found that aprox. 100 were corrupted and would not repair. Here is one example: Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreAUC.framework/ Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- . All the aprox. 100 corrupted permissions have the same "should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- " issue.
    2. I did archive and install OSX, the machine hung after accepting log in. I then installed 0SX and brought my data over from TM. I then verified permissions and they were good.
    3. I next installed updates, checked permissions again. This revealed that an update or updates seem to be corrupting permissions. They again would not accept repair. What can I do to address this? The machine seems to be working fine now but am concerned that system may be at risk. Please help. Tony

    We are all getting those messages from Repair Permissions that say "Permissions differ..." and end with: "-rw-r--r--, they are lrw-r--r--" or something similar, the last set of letters beginning with an "l" which means it's a symbolic link, but is probably only meaningful to programmers.
    They are not errors or warnings and as Apple says in the Knowledge Base article Lyssa pointed to, they can be safely ignored.

  • Permissions Problems - Will not repair

    Hi,
    First post in this forum, I just upgraded to a MBP from my seven year old TiBook(used to post in that forum). Still settling into the new system.
    I am having a problem with permissions, see details below. I verify permissions and get this, even after running the repair they still are not repaired. I saw in some other posts that it may be okay depending on what they are for, are these okay?
    Additional info, I was playing with time machine trying to get it set up to use an air disc related or unrelated to this I lost 60gb of hard drive space, spent time on the phone with apple last night and level two tech told me I should just do a re install, do you love that? I did it, re intalled OS from system CD then used migration assistant on first boot pointed to a super duper disc image I had made before the space problem. Seems to have pulled over all my stuff and also this permission issue. This morning I tried running the repair from OS CD, I also used appdelete to delete quick time and re downloaded and installed it, no luck.
    Hope some can shed some light on this for me...

    There is a very long list of these that you can safely ignore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    The Quicktime permissions errors aren't on that list but you can safely ignore them as well. In a nutshell, Permissions Repair in Leopard is somewhat 'broken' - you can uncheck the Show Details box and only 'real' problems will show up in the list.

  • Difference between Share Permissions and Security NTFS Folder Permissions

    What is the main difference between share and security in
    1. 2003 server and above:
    2. How in Organisations share data folder for users
    AS per me i Have following conclusion 
    1.
    Yes - Always open up Share permissions to Everyone-Full and the ACL (apply permissions) to the actual data
    folders (must be NTFS). With NT4 and W2000 you can leave the Share permissions at default when you create them and just ACL the NTFS data structures.
    With W2003, the default Share permission is locked down to Read, and as Share permissions over-ride NTFS permissions,
    even if you have Write access in the data folders, accessing via the Share will restrict to Read-Only, so you must open up the Share permissions on all new W2003 Shares that you create.
    2.
    Yes you can. Share the top level directory of your data. Open up the Share permissions to Everyone - Full,
    and then ACL the sub-folders appropriately for you different user access requirements. Don't permission (ACL) any data with 'Everyone' always use Groups (or users if you must...e.g. Home Directories), and at minimum for 'public' data use 'Authenticated Users'.
    Users will all be able to access the share, but only access folders and data that you allow via the NTFS permissions (ACLs).
    The only other way is to create separate shares for each different access requirement - a pain and none too
    flexible. Also if with W2K3 you leave the default Share permission (Read), even though you grant 'Write' NTFS permissions on the data, your users won't be able to write new data or make changes if they access via the Share, as Share permissions over-ride the
    NTFS permissions.
    If You have any other options so please suggest me or otherwise mark it as Answer 

    Sounds good. :)

  • 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 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.
