Repairing Disk Permissions is stuck on "Reading Permissions Database"

Ever since I installed Leopard awhile ago I have not been able to repair my disk permissions. The Disk Utility progress bar stays on the spinning stripes indicating it is "Reading Permissions Database". I've been canceling out of it and just forgoing the process, but now my iCal is totally blank and I want to see if this will fix my problem. Do I just need to do a clean install?
I've searched through other posts and haven't found any other problem like this.

repair permissions in leopard takes much longer than in tiger (up to 40 minutes on older machines). You should let it finish.

    Permissions repair complete
    No matter what I do, I get this exact same outcome.
    Please help....
    Thanks!

    That's normal according to Apple. They put a technical bulletin out on it even. It has been fixed in Snow Leopard though.

  • This history look right? After Repairing Disk Permissions WARNINGS exist.

    I just repaired disk permissions on my iMac, does the history look OK? Plenty of WARNINGS at the end of the history. I am not too concerned with the ACL stuff.

  • Need to Repair Disk Permissions Everyday? Same errors each time.

    I have a White MacBook 4,1 - 2.1 Ghz 3 MB Cache, 800 MHz Bus. It seems like I need to repair the permissions everyday. Every time I do I get the exact same errors, when I start up off the Mac OS X dvd I get no errors under repair disk, but the same errors under repair permissions.
    This is what I get:
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Reading permissions database.
    Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

    Anyone know what's wrong?

    There is no error. You could repair permissions continuously and these same notifications will show up.
    Recent updates to iPhoto, Front Row, and an update for RAW compatibility have resulted in these permissions differences. Rather than replacing the old permissions with a new one, the system sees a symbolic "link" (the L you see in front of the permissions).
    Nothing is wrong with your machine--we're all getting these notifications. Hopefully a system update will change the permissions for us in the future.

    Permissions repair complete
    Thanks for the help on this one
    Thanks

    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

    After, only the user had read & write.

  • Repair disk permission

    Hey everyone, since i have installed leopard, every time i run a repair disk permissions i get all these errors. In the beginning there were a couple but now there are really a lot. I read some similar topics here but i couldn't a solution. These errors means something isn't working right or i should -as i've read in some posts-ignore them, they don't mean anything.
    This drive is the seagate ST3250824AS P model.
    I want to change my boot drive and get a faster one, like a velociraptor. But first i want to know if these errors are coming from this drive, and if i replace it it will go away. Thanks for reading.

  • Can't repair disk

    I cannot repair my untitles disk as it states that this disc cannot be written to. This came up when trying to install the latest OS software on. As I cannot get anywhere on my mac, I am having to use my husbands windows pc.

    Reboot and hold down the command-r keys to boot into the Mountain Lion recovery disk. From there you can launch Disk Utilities and run Repair Disk on your hard drive.

  • 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.

  • Repair Disk Permissions utility stalled - I have read the knowledge base

    I have researched the knowledge base and search for posts on this and cannot find answer: Running 10.4 at the latest version. used the original install 1 disc I received with Tiger to repair disc permissions (like Apple support has told me to do in the past, but my current research said I do not need to do this unless certain parameters are met, and none of the parameters applied, but oh well, I am here anyway). Cold Boot from the original install disc 1 and slected the start up disk I use (I only have one start up disc/drive). Did a repair disc permissions and got a long running routine that reporting a lot of fixes, then the utility has stalled -- no progress on the progress bar. I "stopped" the process using the "stop repair" button (three times). The log reflected the utility stopped, but the progress bar still is blue and not moving (for a couple of hours). When I go to quity File >Disk Utility, it warns me that Disk Utility is running and this may make my system unstable/unsuable.
    QUESTION: CAN I JUST QUIT DISK UTILITY AND NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE AFFECT ON MY IMAC DRIVE?

    Thanks for your advice, I still have an issue:
    -after the first repair disk permission "stalled" process, I exited Disk Utility and cold booted the machine after I had disconnected all external devices other than the original iMac keyboard
    -obtained the combo patch for 10.4.7 from the Apple download site (it had already been installed but I reinstalled per your advice)
    -re-applied the combo patch and then did another cold boot
    -ran Disk Utility from the original Tiger install #1 disk, and then selected "repair disk permissions" for my start up disk (I only have one)
    - process ran for 10 minutes or so then gave the following error message: "Disk Utility Error: Disk Utility has lost its connection with disk utility management tool and cannot continue. Please quit disk utility and re-launch disk utility"
    - I pushed the "stop disk permission repair" button, then quit disk utility, then cold booted the machine again.
    -re-applied combo patch as above, then cold booted the machine
    -ran disk utility from the original iMac install #1 disk, ran "repair disk permissions", and then received the same error message as above.
    - I then just quit Disk Utility and cold booted the machine again and went about my business. There does not seem to be any problem with the machine (was not before, but I ran repair permissions thinkging this was a routine maintenance taks that should be run)
    - in my prior search of the knowledge base, I found the following information about repair disk permissions:
    Location: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607495&#607495
    How often should I Repair Permissions?
    You do not need to Repair Permissions on a regular basis.
    There are only three occasions you need to do this:
    1. When you have just installed something that required you to run an Installer, rather than just copying some software to a folder. This should be done for both Apple and non-Apple software.
    2. When you have been working on your OS X files or folders while booted from OS 9, or remotely connected via a non-OS X machine, since OS 9 and other systems do not handle OS X's permissions correctly.
    3. The other case is if your system is behaving strangely, when you should run Disk Repair from your CD followed by Repair Permissions. This is just to eliminate these things before going on to further trouble-shooting.
    Otherwise you can happily forget about Permissions!"
    So, it would appear I do not need to do anything else; the machine seems to be working properly. Is there anything else I need to do? thanks for the help! Bob

  • I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

    I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in

    Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

  • 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.

  • Constantly having to repair disk permissions after hanging system

    From the time I purchased this I've had ongoing issues with the java, flash, OS updates causing the computer to hang forever. Sometimes I end up having to press the off button because Command Q and Command/Option/Escape won't allow a force quit even after a 20 minute wait. I don't know enough about what's going on behind the boot up to know what's wrong. Here is a copy of my console log and this is exactly what they look like each time after I have gone in and done a disk verify, (says it's okay) and then repair disk permissions. I've had to boot to safe mode 3 times today and repair permissions due to this issue. There is nothing plugged into the computer except the power cord. The OS is up to date per Software Update and the only 3rd party software installed is SKYPE ...

    Which MacBook model? Did it come with OSX 10.6 or did you upgrade it?

  • Repair Disk Permissions Issues

    I'm not sure I am posting this in the correct community but here goes . . .
    I have a 17" Macbook Pro running the latest version of Snow Leopard. It is almost 2 years old and I have 4 gb RAM.
    Recently, it seems to be slowing down and I have to run repair disk permissions 2-3 times a week to recoup a little speed. I also delete my Firefox cache regularly to try to gain a little there. I do make a few videos in iMovie and initially I thought that was the problem but this week I have not really worked in iMovie much and it is still slow. There seems to be some issues in the log of the repair permissions. I hope they show in this image. I don't know what these mean or how to fix them. It is the "permissions differ" entries I am confused about.

    You can ignore those permissions per support article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21090
    Since you brought up iMove, I suspect your storage is nearly full as this most certainly causes the computer to slow down. video files are the biggest culprit.
    Look in your Activity Monitor and reduce the drive space by copying to a external, Disk Utility HFS+ formatted external powered drive of unnecessary files so your boot drive is ideally below 50% filled (yea I know but the computer slows down after that) and not more than 75% filled.
    Once you have done that. Get another newer external powered HFS drive and download the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the internal drive to the external.
    Hold option and boot off the external clone, test it out then use Disk Utility to erase the internal and then reverse clone the external onto the internal, this will defragment and optimize your drive so the OS and programs are on the fast part of the drive, not the slow parts.
    Reboot into the internal and run off of the free OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Sir speedy machine here we come!
    Now of course you may have other issues that could be causing your slow down, like not enough RAM or some sort of failed process or leftover program, tweaks or simply a slow Internet.
    You can opt to simply reinstall OS X 10.6 ( by holding c and booting off the installer disk ) over your installed version (doesn't touch files or programs) then immediatly Software Updating until clear, that will clean anything hanging out in OS X.
    If you still have slowdowns, then it's in what geeks call "User land" basically something installed outside of root, like a program or only runs in user, not in OS X.
    For that you need to create a new user, transfer your files via the Shared Drop and wean yourself off the old user and finally delete it. Also install all new versions of your third party programs removing the originals first.
    That should do it.

  • I've tried PRAM reset, repair disk and permissions but cannot boot up after recent install of OSX 8.4. Please help

    After having to do a forced shut down (holding down power button) due to freezing I cannot again progress past the grey screen with the apple logo. The spinning cog comes on at first then disappears leaving just the apple logo (in case that is sognificant).
    I have tried to find a solution through the support pages but have unfortunately been unsuccessful in my endeavours so do apologise I have overlooked the obvious and would really appreciate some help. I've just started the second year of my Uni and the timing couldn't be worse.
    I have tried the following:
    1) held down option and started in "recovery 10.8.4" from which I used disk utility to "repair disk", which at first needed some repairs and then I ran it again for the second time to confirm it had a clean bill of health.
    2) I then ran "repair disk permissions" and repeated a second time to confirm it was all working well (however one error remained "warning: SUID file "system/library/CoreS... has been modified and will not be repaired" but have read that this should not be a big problem) After which I tried to start up again and it hung with the apple logo on the grey screen.
    3) tried resetting the PRAM by holding down cmd+option+P+R before powering up, but it only chimes once and then restarts the mac, then chimes once and repeats the process again in and endless cycle.
    4) I then tried 1 and 2 again and then tried to reinstall OSX 10.8.4 from the recovery mode, but this came up with the message "an error occured while preparing the installation. Try running this application again" to which I followed but to no avail.
    5) I tried starting up in safe mode by holding down shift after the chime at startup but safe mode did not start after 3 hours. During which point I was drowning my frustration in the pub.
    6) I tried starting in verbose mode with cmd+V but after running the script it reverts back to the grey screen.
    I have not tried booting from an install disk as im a few hours from home on a uni campus with no apple store in sught and all day lectures so no hope to visit far away stores. I hope I have explained it in enough detail and appreciate any direction or thoughts as to it being salvageable.  Failing which it might be time go go back to the pub and remember the importance of regular backups!
    Many thanks
    Stephen

    I have one more development to add. In step "4" above I suspected that it could be something to with the Ethernet settings as I hadn't had the option of typing in the colleges wifi credentials. So I tried the "get help online" option to test it, managed to sign in and tried the step 4 again.
    This time I received a different error message "could not find installation information for this machine".
    Thanks
