Repair permissions messages

Hi,
I have just picked up a new unibody MBP 2.53GHz 4GB RAM, and have installed the latest software updates, after which I used disk utility to repair the permissions.
I received the following messages and would be grateful if someone could tell me if these items are normal for a brand new machine.
Many thanks for any help.

Sig,
Many thanks for the quick response, I had a look but couldn't find a post re messages on brand new machines.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Kind regards.

Repair Permissions Message

Hello,
I have a new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.5. I guess this would qualify as a general maintenance question...
Every time I repair the permissions I get a message that says: Group differs on "private/etc/cups",should be 0, group is 26". And that's the only repair that ever needs to be done.
Just wondering what this means and why it always needs to be repaired.
Also, when OS X first came out there was some automatic maintenance and only happened if your computer was on in the wee hours of the morning. Has that changed by now?
Thanks

this message is harmless and should be ignored. everybody gets it.

yes, OS X will run those maintenance scripts automatically when the computer wakes if you sleep it overnight instead of shutting down. there is some debate about what happens if you shut it down overnight. this actually doesn't make much difference as all of those scripts are very inconsequential.

New Permissions messages after Security Update/more curious than concerned

I just installed the latest security update 2010-001. I repaired permissions afterward and encountered messages I've not seen before. I got "Permissions Repair complete."
2010-01-24 10:14:37 -0500: ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities".
2010-01-24 10:14:37 -0500: ACL found but not expected on "Applications".
2010-01-24 10:14:37 -0500: ACL found but not expected on "Library".
I googled around a bit and what I found interesting was the majority of threads relating to this date back to 2008 after the release of 10.5.2. The consensus then seemed to be these messages were completely harmless. I did find one very recent topic though, that reported these messages appearing just after the current security update. I'm wondering if anyone else has now encountered these after updating?
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg56086.html
Not that I understand ACLs very well, but I'd like to know what might the consequences or implications be of these Permissions having been changed--if this is what has happened--by the update. (Or, probably less likely, is DU after updating, now set to find things that were always there?)
I don't think I've done anything else that would account for these. (I didn't repair Permissions just before running the update, so I can't say conclusively they weren't there before--although I have done Permissions fairly recently. Why might these be appearing now? Thanks.

these messages are harmless and should be ignored. there is nothing new about that.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
the ACLs present on those folders should be there. those repair permissions messages are just false positives due to errors in permissions database. just about every update introduces more such errors.
if you want to see the actual ACLs on those folders run this in terminal
ls -lade /Applications /Applications/Utilities /Library
all of these folders should have "everyone deny delete" ACLs to prevent accidental deletion.

Error message: There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?

I have been using iPhoto for years. Today when I tried to upload pictures from camera, I received the above error message. I select "Repair", enter my password, and then a message "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library" appears. I select "Quit" and it closes iPhoto. Quit is the only option. What has happened? I have tried to access the photos via other avenues such as uploading to gmail, and the photos load fine. I have about 28,000 photos.
I do not know what version of iPhoto I am using as I am unable to access the software. I have a iMac OS X (10.7.5). What should I do?

Select the iPhoto application in the Applications folder and type Command+i to bring up its Info Window. There will tell the version number. If it's iPhoto 9 or later apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

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?

Weird Message from Repairing Permissions

Had a new iMac for about a month.
For a lark I did a repair permsissions - mainly as a speed test.
I got a message that "CoreServices...as been changed. Unable to repair"
(Yes, "has" was mispelled)
Hovering over the line showed that the file in question was in Apple's Remote Desktop .App
I wouldn't necessarily care, but this screams security issue.
I have installed:
Rosetta
I partitioned with Boot Camp, but I have not used it yet.
The only non-Apple Apps are a driver for a USB sound interface
Adobe PhotoShop Elements
The older version (PPC)of Microsoft Office (2005?)
Quicken and Turbo Tax
Is this a common error?

There are numerous but innocuous messages reported by Disk Utility when repairing permissions. See the following: Mac OS X 10.5- Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.
These messages will occur each time you repair permissions, and they may be safely ignored.

It sounds like you used the 10.5.1 update using Software Update.
Download the larger 110MB file of 10.5.1 directly from Apple and this will most likely take care of all but one SUID warning.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1051update.html
The remaining warning is normal and will cause no problems.

Message after repairing permissions on MB wit Leopard

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
This message came after I repaired permissions on MB with Leopard - any idea what it means and is it important or not - something to do with Remote Management which was selected at start up - can tis be deleted or removed and what is remote management anyway - I was not aware of it being in the Tiger OS version beofre I upgraded.
Thanks
RC

It's normal. Other people are getting it too. Just disregard it for now.

Odd Messages While Repairing Permissions

Had that annoying spinning beach ball today, so I used software update and then repaired permissions after. Never had a message like this before in all my mac years:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/lppaswd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
No other permissions were repaired.
Um . . . HUH? I have two firewalls on this thing and have to approve even outgoing print jobs manually. I'd be surprised if I had anyone get n here, but anything is possible. I sync to mobileme and my iphone and ipod video. Have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but no other bluetooth devices. My wireless network is hidden and secured with a password. . .
I'm the only user, the computer is only a few weeks old.
Should I be worried? Should I be deleting something? Would love some thoughts and opinions!
Thanks in advance!
Sharon

A commonly known situation. See Mac OS X 10.5- Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files.
No, you need not be worried.

Warning message when repairing permissions

I Just repaired permissions and the usual large list showed up. But this time I got a message that says:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreService...ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I navigated to that site and could not find a SUID file. Does anyone know what that stands for and could this be a problem?
Thanks for any assistance.
Rich

Thanks Macjack,
I seemed to get that response after updating to 10.6.7 and my confusion is that when I go to Core Service Folder in the Library, I don't even see any SUID File at all? And this is the first time I have ever received a warning that a file has been modified and not repaired. Have you seen a warning like this before?

Repairing Permissions and Got this Message????

Hi,
MacBook has been acting up lately. Just little things like stalling when opening aps and just plain iffy. Decided to repair permissions tonight and got these messages which looked unlike anything I'd seen in seven years of Mac ownership. Can anyone tell me if these are serious?

I am on the edge of a breakdown with Leopard. I went through the headaches as listed in a bunch of other threads with Permissions corruption... after doing all of the suggested Terminal tweaks and still having my machine not work, I finally had enough, erased the hard drive and clean installed 10.5. Ran the permissions check in disc utility and all was good. Upgraded to 10.5.1, noticed my machine was sluggish... ran permissions check again and got...

My Powerbook G4 1.67GHz is running poorly now. I have not done anything except install 10.5, then update (manually downloading the installer and running it) to 10.5.1.
I also tried to get onto iChat, as soon as I selected the video button, iChat blew up, the computer froze completely... probably was a kernel crash.
Hullllppp?
jc, I know you said these SUID warnings have been around for a long time, I am another who has never seen them before.
The question is... WHY are they here now? They are telling us that something is wrong that can't be fixed with Disc Utility.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch in Advance.

Obscure error message while repairing permissions

OSX 10.6.3. While repairing permissions, I spotted this strange message: Warning. SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices..." has been modified and will not be repaired."
Seems a little strange. I've done nothing exotic that would modify the system in such a way.
Anyone have an idea what's gone wrong?

Message in Repairing Permissions

Leopard 10.5.2, running Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. Got a message saying: "found ACL in library not expected" or something pretty close to that. Does anyone know what this might mean? I can't find anything in my Library that might give me a clue.
Thanks for any insight.

It's benign; ignore it.

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?

Permissions repair complete

Repair Permissions warning message

Running Repair Permissions on my start-up disc running OS X 10.6, I get the message:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Is this serious? Do I need to do anything about it?
Thanks for any help.

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.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx
| | |
| | all other users not in first two types
| |
| group
|
owner
a little more info
Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
After, only the user had read & write.
