Repair Permissions Log

I have been getting some stuff popping up lately when repairing permissions but have no clue what I am looking at. Can anybody tell me if the following is trouble? For me this is a different language.
I also cleaned up localized files for the first time in a year, just removing unnecessary languages freed up over 3 gb of space.

Below is a copy of my repair permissions log just after applying the 10.6.4 combo update to my Mac HD. Does it look ok, or do I have some problems?

WRT repairing permissions in SL, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 says that "You can safely ignore these messages. You can also usually ignore any "ACL found but not expected..." message." Repair permissions again and you'll see a shorter list indicating what can't be repaired. Usually things that point to symbolic links: that's the l part of lrw-r--r--

Repair permissions - always has to correct secure.log

I've noticed that every time I repair permissions the ./private/var/log/secure.log is corrected from -rw-r----- to -rw-------
I'm curious to know why this is happening - is it something I should be worried about?
Cheers
Steve

It happens because the "weekly" maintenance task has a different (and better) idea of what the permissions for this file should be. See the tail end of this User Tip: Spurious Permission errors in OS X 10.4.
So, in a way, you are more secure without running Repair Permissions!

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.

What is the correct procedure for repairing permissions

I am getting ready to upgrade to Tiger from Panther. I have used the disk utility to repair permissions after an upgrade or hardware addition. I have always done it using the disk utility and not from a boot up on the OS install dvd.
Is there a difference? I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
Thanks for any info!
Ymir

I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
I assume you are referring to the log entries which contain "We are using special permissions..."
If so, you can safely ignore those messages. They are purely informational. This is not indicative of a permissions problem.
There is also no need to repair permissions while booted from the system DVD. Running it the way you are is fine, and you should only need to do it when you have a problem with your machine resulting from improperly set permissions.

Question on repairing permissions

I have a current problem where every time I restart my MBP (2.6ghz, early 08) the desktop picture goes to a picture I used a few months back. I tried deleting a couple of the preference panes that relate to desktop to no avail. I ended up moving that picture from it's location in the pictures folder and then upon restart, the default starry picture was used instead of the current one I have selected. I did some poking around here and saw a mention of repairing permissions to help with that problem. So I did and I end up with some warnings that I am unsure of their meaning. Can anyone offer some insight into the entirety of the situation, desktop and the warnings?

In general, I'd consider that to be a bad idea. The preference panes don't contain those settings, just the software that allows them to be manipulated.
Try trashing the file com.apple.desktop.plist in the folder <yourhome>/Library/Preferences .

You can ignore any permissions warning messages that complain about "-rw ..." vs "lrw ..." mismatches.

Repairing Permissions after Java Update

I installed the latest Java update as prompted by Software Update. Then I repaired permissions and am getting the same lengthy log every time even though it states "Permissions repair complete":
"Group differs on "Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBiPhotoPlugin.ilmbplugin/Contents/Resourc es/da.lproj", should be 80, group is 0.
Repaired.....etc, etc."
There are at least 25 - 30 of those; plus there are quite a few on the Java VM framework.
Is this anything to worry about?

Yes, everybody's getting them. As long as the repair states "Permissions repair complete", you're good to go.

How often to repair permissions?

How often should one need to repair permissions?
It seems that I need to do so too frequently in order to repair sluggish or erratic performance.
Adam

Permissions shouldn't have to be repaired unless there is a permissions problem. Are you getting permissions messages when you open files/apps?
Slow, erratic behavior doesn't sound like a permissions problem. I'm not sure why RP is helping this.
How much RAM do you have installed?
How often and after how long does this happen?
Please post your Console > system.log from around the time of the last slowdown/permissions repair. Maybe we can find something there. Depending on how often this happens, you may be able to test it bystarting up in Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
If your system functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop.

Last week I upgraded to the latest version of QT, but things had been running fine until today. As I say, there must have been 1000 of these errors in the log and all of them had to do with QT.
Anybody know what's going on here?

Note: For years, standard POSIX permissions did a good job of defining access to our files and folders. But as our needs have become more complex, operating systems have begun implementing access control lists to help handle things. When Apple shipped Mac OS X 10.4, they added a robust granular permissions model. Unfortunately, only Mac OS X Server ships with a GUI for manipulating these permissions.
Access control lists are an integral part of Leo, and since their settings override posix permission settings, ignoring them is not going to be possible if you are going to continue use Leo (or any other modern OS for that matter).
The one and only ACL GUI interface available to help users of the standard version of Leo is "SandBox", fortunately it is free and now (as of version 2.2) is a reasonably easy to use program with decent help included.
Leo users: Do yourself a favor and learn about ACL's, they are not going away.
Actually a very good article on ACL's is available from microsoft. It is called:
How to shoot yourself in the foot with security, part 2 to ACL or not to ACL;

Although due to OS differences, not everything mentioned may apply to Leo, but still has loads of good info including a very detailed explanation of the "deny everyone delete" ACL used extensively in Leo.

Ran disk utility repair permissions....now I can not open any applications on my Mac mini

my Mac mini (mid 2011. OS X 10.9.1). Was running very slow so I ran repair permissions...after re-booting my computer I can not open any apple applications. I keep getting a pop up window that says " finder quit unexpectedly". When trying to open safari " safari quit unexpectedly". I can open skype, google chrome. The computer indicates that wifi is on and connected - however I can't seem to log into Skype or access any web pages. What to do next?
One more thing, I keep getting pop up windows asking for passwords for different items if or keychain...I have tried to put in my password, but that doesn't work. Not sure what password it is looking for but the window won't go away even when I hit cancel

Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. OS X: About OS X Recovery
Then see if you can restart normally.

Repair Disk / Repair Permissions -- which first

If I want to run repair permissions or repair disk, which should I do first?
Does it matter?

"Repair disk" makes modifications to the structure of data on the disk itself. If there is an error, this really needs to be done first since the errors could manifest themselves as botched permissions, mangled files, etc. If the disk's integrity is actually compromised, the highest priority is to repair it. One thing to keep in mind is that certain repairs cannot be made on a mounted disk (such as the one you boot from), so for the disk repair procedure to work, you should boot of another disk (your OS installation disk, a bootable external hard disk, etc.). Even then, Apple's disk repair is curiously basic -- there's many errors it simply does not detect or fix and for that you need something like DiskWarrior. Mind you, disk errors like that shouldn't occur, and if they do you may have hardware issues to be concerned about.
"Repair permissions" compares file ownership and permissions in a directory to a list stored in the package bundles in /Library/Receipts. If there's a difference between what it finds in the file list stored in the receipt package, and the files on disk, it attempts to set the permissions and ownership of the file to what appears in the list (which should reflect the state of the file when installed). It doesn't do anything at all to preferences, user preferences, user files, logs, file created after and application is installed, etc.
Contrary to popular belief, repairing permissions doesn't generally do much for you. It should be pretty rare that it finds a difference unless you've really been mucking about, and generally when it does find something it's either because you explicitly changed the permissions or because there's some other problem where an application or disk issue is changing the permissions. The one time where it really makes sense, actually, is after you repair a disk issue.
It's common advice that people tell you to repair permissions as a step to address problems, but mostly because it's an easy thing to do. Similarly, zapping your PRAM is frequently advised when trouble-shooting, though the process of a cold-boot (complete power-off, then power back on a few seconds later) is generally the portion of that procedure that actually produces the desired result.

Every time i repair permissions i keep getting this same message...

Perhaps i'm being paranoid, but every time i repair permissions i keep getting this same message that:

Does anyone know what this means? Is anyone else getting these messages consistently when running repair permissions? i did a clean installation of Leopard and have run the updater. Permissions seem to take a while to repair, and i am going to install the larger 10.5.1. updater as soon as it finishes downloading... but i did run the 40 mb updater that software update downloaded.
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

This is the only trouble if at all that I have in installing Leopard, and while some as discussed previously are nothing to be concerned about the others have me concerned. From the installation disk I have run Disk repair and Repair Permissions but nothing changes in the list below. So any thoughts on how to clear some out?
