Repairing disk permissions gives me this -

Does anyone know what this means? I ran disc utility and repaired permissions and this shows up every time.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

David,
I am getting the same message.
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Everything else seems to be working fine however.
I performed just the "Upgrade" as opposed to Archive and Install.
I wonder if we can pull that ARDAgent from the install disk using Pacifist and maybe replace it...??
Just a thought....

  • Repair Disk Permissions - ACL found but...

    Suddenly Repair Disk Permissions gives an exceptionally long list of "ACL found but not expected on xxxxxxxx" and apparently is unable to carry out repairs as each run of the "repair" brings up the same long list. Additionally, the reason I ignited the disk permissions repairs was that my PowerBook Pro suddenly appeared extremely slow - taking up to 3 hours to update a single application. I'd appreciate any feedback on correcting  this ongoing issue.
    Thanks - Earl

    Thanks so much for your advise, Linc, and sorry for the delay in getting back - things have ben pretty hectic since. I've now done as you suggested but rather than trying to find the log for the date the issue started (scrolling through what seems like miles and miles of lines of data) I've copied and am posting here a more recent section of the log taken while attempting to install an update to OS X 10.10.2 for the past 20 hours. Any help would be highly appreciated.

  • Trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck

    trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck - any thoughts? Have spent two weeks trying to get apple support and itunes to help me get lion after a hard drive fail and now they are closed and I really just want to get moving!

    Are you installing OS X Lion over an existing installation of Snow Leopard, or are you reinstalling?
    First be sure you have everything on your system backed up. Then reboot with the Command-R keys held to get to the OS X Lion recovery volume. In here, select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab in here to run a verification on your boot drive. If there are any errors, fix them and then try the installation again.
    The next step would be to format the drive, so with your backup secured, use Disk Utility's Erase tab to re-format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), and then quit Disk Utilty and attempt the installation again.

  • When I repair disk permissions using Disk Utility and it says it's completed the task, I click on it again and it repairs more. This has been going on for hours now. Could there be that many wrong permissions? Should it get to "all repaired" eventually?

    It's normal behavior. You don't have to worry about. Most of what's listed is just a report of what the utility finds., not necessarily that there is omething wrong.

  • New macbook pro, safari won't open and repair disk permissions did nothing to help

    Safari starts, blue bar moves about an inch in search bar, then stops. Then nothing. Tried repairing disk permissions to no avail. Safari still doesn't open. Whatever os x that is installed on new macbook pro's, since just bought on Sunday 10-14-12, is the operating software. The apple store there is no user manual. Strange. So here we are on another, older macbook pro, able to go on internet and see what answers or diagnoses others have tried and trued.

    3 days old?, just pack the machine up and tell them you want another one, that this one is a lemon.
    They will likely take your word for it and just give you another rather than you demand your money back instead.
    If you wait too long then they say you should have brought it back sooner, now have to wait until it's fixed, only to give you more problems later.

    I have already zeroed out the hard drive and re-installed Panther and the upgrade Tiger disc.
    I repair permissions using the Tiger disc upgrade.
    Can anyone help me with this??

    > I repair permissions using the Tiger disc upgrade.
    One thing to note...  When running Repair Disk Permissions, it is best to run it while started up normally, from your normal startup disk, not from a Mac OS X installation disc.  The only time you should run it while started up from an installation disc is if some problem is preventing you from starting up normally. OTOH, Repair Disk can only be used when starting up from a different disk (such as an installation disc).
    So, I would start up normally, run Disk Utility, and use Repair Disk Permissions on your normal startup disk.
    NOTE:  Repair Disk Permissions often gives alerts messages that can be ignored.  They are more "informational," not serious errors.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    You should still run it periodically.  When you run it, what needs to be repaired has been repaired; consider the rest of it an FYI.  I've never experience a problem, where a Repair Disk Permissions message actually caused a problem.  But, if you ever get an error while running Repair Disk (or Verify Disk), that is usually a serious problem.

  • Apple: Repair "Repair Disk Permissions"

    The Leopard version of Repair Disk Permissions is broke. No matter what it is doing behind the screen, it comes up with the chirpy "Repairing Disk Permissions. Estimated time: Less than 1 minute" then proceeds to wait five minutes (on a 160 GB MacBook Pro of recent vintage) before starting to move the bar from its initial, deceptive, 20% fulfilled position.
    This performance and feedback flies in the face of Apple's own software behavioral edicts.
    After the five-minute wait, it takes an additional 4:30 to move the bar to the end, even when it's the second run on the same drive. The reported times are NEVER accurate, never even approximate until the last 50 seconds.
    And don't even get me started with all the reported failures to fix anything that consistently show up every single time.
    In five minutes (300 seconds) my computer has the ability to impose 4.4 Billion computational cycles on the task of sorting out whatever ails my hard disk--per second. That's just a TRILLION point three total mathematical operations that might be brought to bear on thinking about what to do before starting to access the disk and fix its errant map of data.
    To give that some scale, at one second per math problem, that equals around 42 thousand years. Which ought to be time enough to evolve the program into a more advanced version...

    It's an interesting but irrelevant observation.
    Disk Repair is not a mathematical operation - it obviously involves many disk reads - often the slowest component on a computer in terms of access times. Should any repairs be required - the system will then write and likely re-read to ensure the write was successful.
    You are trying to figure out future events - how long the next action will take based on prior events - sometimes things change that make past performance a poor estimate of future performance.
    As for estimating times - I've programmed this - and observed many attempts to do so - few work well or offer estimates anywhere near accurate. Observe the estimated times to complete a download in iTunes or the time to copy a file. I have seen many cases where the estimates said "10 seconds" and I waited minutes for them to complete.

  • Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions

    Can someone give me some information regarding Disk Permissions. I've been having some problems of late, and have seen several posts where the user was told to "repair their disk permissions." I went into Disk Utility and ran "Verify Disk Permissions" and a TON of stuff came up. Of course, I don't know what any of it means. Should I go ahead and "Repair Disk Permissions"? What does this do, exactly?

    I would start by searching driver software for the cardbus adapter. Also, Make sure you have all the Mac OS X and iTunes updates.
    That card doesn't require a driver according to their Web site.
    Also, did you read her original post? She said she has a MacBook with USB 1.1. All MacBooks came with USB 2.0. How would you even put that card in a MacBook with no PCMCIA card slot?

    Sorry about the mistake...I'm on a PowerBook G4 PowerPC, NOT a MacBook (I've been looking into getting a used MacBook--guess I had it on the brain when I posted.) Agreed, per the site, I shouldn't need any drivers, however, a driver disk did come with the card. Interesting. Guess I'll look into that next.
    If that doesn't help, guess it's back to the drawing board. Perhaps a faulty card?

  • Worried about need to constantly repair disk permissions

    Here is my analysis and conclusions as to why I need to constantly repair disk permissions:
    I recently got the top-o'-the-line iMac (see info below) which shipped with Lion but since I wanted Snow Leopard (just because I have a few PowerPC games that I can't live  without) I reformatted the hard drive - into 1 partition from the 2 that Lion had - and installed Snow Leopard and went back to business as usual....only with one **** great and fast computer. BTW, as far as I know this computer is exactly the same computer that shipped with Snow Leopard prior to Lion's introduction. I swore that I would never get another desktop computer because this one would last me forever. My only hesitation now is because the need to constantly repair permissions means something is not right. On the one hand I could just keep on repairing (daily?) the permissions for the next 20 years, or.... what? Is it possible (or should I be asking Apple itself instead of in this forum) that there is some other difference between the Snow Leopard and the Lion versions of  this iMac - is this what "firmware" is all about? - that produces this constant need to repair permissions? If that's the case, would Apple give me a Snow Leopard-friendly logic board (and/or install the correct firmware) in exchange for the Lion logic board - or am I just going to have to live with having to perform this permissions-update function? Or is having to repair disk permissions not a big deal or something worrying about? Any ideas would be appreciated - thanks!

    You do not need to repair permissions unless there's a specific problem.

  • Can't repair disk permissions or run Mac Software update application

    I tried repairing the disk permissions and received the following error message:
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    Got the same error message when verifying the disk permissions. The verify disk option also failed.
    Whenever I run this application to check for updates, it just bounces in the dock and disappears. Then I get this error box that says "The application Software Update quit unexpectedly". It then gives me 3 options to "ignore, report, and relaunch".
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the fast reply. I was able to run the disk utility using the disk. But I got the same errors when I booted back up and tried to run the "repair disk permissions". Plus the "Software Update" program still crashed.

  • Have to check & repair disk permissions on every restart

    Can anyone explain why I have to check &amp; repair disk permissions every time I have to restart my MacBook Pro.  When I do the check I get various messages eg 'Library should be '0',  is '80'. And other variations for Library.

    I'd do one/more of a few things.
    First, (and not only good for this exercise), I'd back up to a Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner clone - on an external disc, and/or use Time Machine.
    Next step, boot in Safe mode and see how things are.
    Next, create another account with similar permissions to the one you are using now. If the problem persists in this account also it is system wide.
    Next boot from the clone you made and see what gives..........

  • "Repair Disk Permissions" keeps showing the same permission differences

    After the recent software updates, I suddenly cannot use my eFax Messenger. This happened once before, but I was able to fix the problem by running "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility.
    This time "Repair Disk Permissions" did not fix the problem. Not only that, I noticed the same permission differences showing up again and again when I repeated Repair Disk Permissions.
    Is the permissions database no longer accurate? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve the permission differences? I notice that others have reported similar issues on this forum, but no definite resolutions have been posted.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    ..."As long as the repair ends up with the message 'repairs complete' or words to that effect, you are OK."...
    I don't know who started with the "repairs complete means everything is fine" business, but they were wrong and it is repeated far too often by too many people on this site.
    Considering all of the messages erroneously being dismissed as "informational", it is ironic that the one message that is actually just "informational" is the one being given special significance.
    The "repairs complete" message only means that the process has stopped. Try starting to repair permissions, then immediately click the "Stop permissions repair" button. Try logging in to a non-admin account and start a run -- when a password is requested, cancel. Try repairing permissions when there are problems with the permissions database. You will see messages such as "Stopped by user", "insufficient privileges" or "underlying task reported failure on exit, but in every case, the report will end with the "Permissions repair complete" message.
    With respect to the OP's question, the overall "repair permissions" system as it stands in 10.5 has the appearance of an unfinished product (it received major revisions in the transition from 10.4). Without specific details, all anyone can say is that the error messages are likely false positives - except for any true positives that might be present among them.
