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.

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.

"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.

Disk Utility-Permissions Repair doesn't seem to repair anything
I have recently installed Leopard, and so far I haven't had any serious issues. However, I used the 'Repair Permissions' function in Disk Utility today, and it doesn't seem to have repaired anything.
As a rule, I run 'Repair Permissions' two times in a row, just in case it missed anything the first time around. When I ran it a second time, everything that it had supposedly fixed on the first run was showing up the second time.
Is there any reason that permissions repair wouldn't be making the necessary changes? If so, how can I fix it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.Hi DJ EeeKay

However, I don't think they have been repaired since these items show up every time I repair permissions.
Does anyone know why this is so and how I can repair these permissions for good?
Thanks!Dan --
There are lot of things behind the scenes that change permissions, things that only the engineers know.
And they are not necessarily errors . . . They're more like notations.
At the end of your messages, does it say, "Repair permissions complete?"
If so, you're fine. You can ignore them.
You should only be concerned if it says "Repair Permissions could not be completed." -
Why does "repair permissions" actually creates more repairs when again.
When I use Disk Utility repair permissions, I run it a second time and there were more instances than noted in the initial run. 13 the first time and 22 the second. To double check, I rebooted my MBP to make sure it wasn't an issue with a running program. The same thing happened, I got 13 instances the first time and when I hit it again, I got 22. I find it hard to believe that by running "repair", more instances are created.
Also, why are some things just not repaired?
Thanks so much for any guidance.
Sincerely,
SkipSpecifically, what "repair permissions" does is look at a bunch of files called "BOM files" or "Bill of Materials files", which is simply a list of what files where installed where and with what permissions. They are created by the Mac software package make that vendors use to build installation packages (if you've ever installed software that required you to run an installation program rather than just copy it to /Applications, that's what you have).
When you run "repair permissions", it compares the file's permissions with what's in the BOM. If they aren't the same, it changes the file's permissions to whatever the BOM says they originally were. The idea being that something might have altered the permissions on a file file making it impossible for you to access and thereby messing up anything that requires access to the file. In practice, that doesn't happen too often.
What does happen pretty often is that the software installer copies files and then changes permissions on them. Even the application may change permissions on the files. That's pretty common, and often necessary to the operation of a piece of software. So, despite doing a "repair permissions", some files and directories are going to simply defy having their permissions modified (particularly things like directories where log files are stored). -
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?

Disk utility won't repair permissions (related to error -8003)
I have an odd, recurring problem I can't diagnose. Recently my seven-month-old MacBook Pro has begun showing an error code (-8003) when I try to do common, system-related things like empty the Trash. At the same time, Time Machine stops backing up and Disk Utility can't repair permissions. If I go into System Preferences I can't open the lock to make changes, even though my account is still clearly marked as the Admin account. All third-party applications run fine, so I can't quite figure out what's going on.
I've tried repairing the disk via TechTool to see if there was directory damage and it checks out fine. I've reformatted my TM backup disk with Disk Utiity according to Apple's instructions, used the Terminal to ensure my Trash and old TM files were properly deleted, etc. Nothing seems to have made a difference.
When I restart the problem goes away for a couple of hours and then – at some point that I haven't been able to identify – the problem starts up again. This is the case whether I'm working on the MacBook or if it's just sitting there idle.
Before I reinstall I wondered if anyone had run into a similar problem and had figured out what caused it.error code (-8003) when I try to do common, system-related things like empty the Trash
That's a common symptom of throwing stuff from a Time Machine backup into the trash in the Finder, which is a big no-no and can irreversibly corrupt your backup. In the Terminal, type the following command:
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
Copy and paste that! Don't try to re-type it, I've seen people put a space in the wrong place and wipe their whole user folder. Type your password when prompted, and expect that nothing will show until you hit return.
Next, repair your Time Machine backup according to:
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/A5.html
At the same time, Time Machine stops backing up
If the above troubleshooting doesn't fix your backup, you may have damaged it beyond repair. In that case, you'll have to erase it and start your backups over from scratch.
Disk Utility can't repair permissions
Where are you trying to repair permissions? Note that repairing permissions is only meaningful on a drive with a system installed on it, and only repairs permissions on a specific subset of the stuff on the drive. Also, note that there are permissions messages you can safely ignore... if you think it is failing because you're seeing them over and over, it's not failing.
If I go into System Preferences I can't open the lock to make changes, even though my account is still clearly marked as the Admin account.
I've never seen that before, and it may indicate you have much more serious problems with your computer. First, try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. Then trash the System Preferences preference file, located at:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
...where '~' means "your home folder". -
Solution to Safari 5 problems: Go to disk utilities and repair permissions
I found this on a discussion page on the internet. Go to disk utilities. Choose Macintosh HD. Choose repair permissions. Seemed to have resolved the issues with freezing pages and not downloading completely. Said you should do these steps every time you upgrade. Seems to have worked because I was experiencing the problems a lot of you guys have been experiencing with Safari 5. Seems to work fine now.
How long it takes depends on the number of applications installed, but generally 1-5 minutes.
The "repair permissions" process only affects applications installed using an installer -- not apps installed by drag-and-drop, and nothing besides applications and their support files. Basically, all it does is compare the files' current permissions with those recorded in a list when the application was installed.
As for being a good idea to do it routinely, there's no reason to. Save for a couple of log files that OS X installs with improper permissions (that change when they are written to), the permissions aren't apt to change unless you are poking around in the /System or /Library directories and modifying files or the contents of files therein. -
This is what I get when I run repair permissions in disk utility. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

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?

Verify/Repair permissions dimmed
Disk utility/verify/repair permissions are dimmed - maybe resulting from some new programmes downloaded recently. I have been able to verify/repair disk in installation option but this has not resolved the problem. All appears to work but obviously I would prefer to correct this little matter.I have some (but not a lot of) knowledge so hope the solution is going to be easy. I would prefer not to have to re-install OSX for obvious reasons.
Thanks in anticipation.
Den.Hi Dennis,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Are you sure you mean "Repair permissions"? Mind that you have 2 options in disk utility:
1. Repair disk
2. Repair permissions
In order to repair the disk you have to boot from the install CD or another bootable volume.
Repair permissions should be done when booted from the hard disk.
In both cases make sure you select the disk in the left sidebar. -

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?
Message was edited by: Diann D. MartinNote: 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;
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512610.aspx
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.

Repair Permissions with/without Tiger disk?
I was wondering what the best way is to repair permissions. Should one repair them booting off the Tiger disk or can one just open disk utility and repair the permissions while running on their hard drive?
Also, my new iMac came with two disks. I also have a Tiger disk from when I purchased Tiger for my PowerBook. If it is necessary to repair permissions from the disk, which disk should I use? Can I use the Tiger disk or should I use one of the disks that came with my iMac?
Thanks!Regarding your first question, it makes no difference so there isn't any need to boot from the install disc to repair disk permissions.
Regarding your second question, the same applies but you should use the Tiger install package that shipped with your new iMac to run repair disk via Disk First Aid when booted from the iMac's install disc on your iMac's boot volume which is much more important than repairing disk permissions.
The Tiger retail install package is not Universal - it is for a Mac with a PPC processor only and your new iMac has an Intel processor.

What does 'Repair Permissions' mean anyway?
Repairing permissions is usually my first line of defense (after re-start) whenever things go a little screwy, but I really don't know what that means. What exactly is being repaired? And what's being "permitted"? Is it about corrupted files?
I'm just curious (and a little confused).
: )Repairing permissions should not be the first line of defense if you have problems. In fact permissions should rarely ever require repairing and rarely solve any problem. Here's some good reading:
Repair Permissions- A false panacea
Repairing permissions- What you need to know
Take Control of Permissions in OS X.
If you want to keep your computer running smoothly, then read the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

Repair permissions seems to stall
I was just about to post this "question/problem" and saw an earlier posting.
I get the "less than 1 minute" message, but the blue progress bar doesn't seem to move, so I quit after a couple minutes.
How long does it wind up taking?
Should I just try again and this time give it 10 minutes before I give up.
Thanks
GaryI’ve had it take as long as 25 minutes, so be patient. Get a cup of coffee or go for a walk. It usually stalls for a long time at the one-minute remaining mark, but then later will go to a more realistic time, like 16 minutes remaining, which is more accurate.
I saw another post where someone let Repair Permissions run for four days and it still reported it had 18 hours to go. That person was having a lot of problems before running the repair and what was reported that eventually fixed it was an Erase and Install (reinstall).
You probably won’t need to, but if you do need an Erase and Install, you will need to have a full (preferably bootable) backup.
