Repairing permissions gives new odd log?

Hi! After 10.5.2 I'm getting a new log that says
"ACL found but not expected on Applications/Utilities"
"ACL found but not expected on Applications"
"ACL found but not expected on Library"
Permissions repair complete.
Is this significant?
Thanks, Tom

How did you get the reinstall to work? I get to the select disk part of the install and it tells me the machine is not compatible. It does it on both my G4 tower and my G4 powerbook. Other posts say they are not able to do the reinstall either. Thanks

  • Repairing permissions gives me tons of errors

    I've been having trouble opening some apps (i.e Activity Monitor) so I figured I should repair my permissions. When I do so, I get a HUGE amount of errors, I'll include just a very small portion of them below.
    Any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    There is also this article on resolving permissions issues:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106712
    As for your question about reinstalling without losing preferences, yes, it is called an Archive and Install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270
    None, if you upgraded Mac OS X since you initially got the machine, it is more difficult to archive and install, as newer applications may not work right with the older operating system.
    I would still though backup your data before doing it as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Even a corrupted backup is better than none, as critical data files can be rescued if there is an issue.

  • Cannot repair permissions on new MBP

    I migrated from my older MBP to the new 15 inch 2.93 and I just can't seem to repair these permission issues. Not sure if I am taking a performance hit or not but it is bugging me and can't figure a way to repair them short of a complete reload. It seems most of the issues are from I life 08 to the new I life 09. Any advice here would be great

    I'm still not happy with it. I just sold my MacPro and old 2.4 2006 version to go laptop only and i put a lot of money in this box with 2 SSD drives and 8gbs of ram tomorrow so this still bugs me to no end. I just may reload everything from scratch and migrate from a backup in manual mode. Most of the issues it seem are I life no less. The issue comes down to migrating and I tried with CCC but I copied my preferences and that may have been the issue. I eliminated all Ilife stuff but still got there permission issues and loading the Ilife after the fact did NOT clean it up. I can't find a program to change or delete this stuff either. Here I just did it again and after loading Itunes update today still no help in getting rid of there permissions problems. Not sure .7 update will do anything

  • Strange problems: Need to repair permissions after new installation

    Hello, we installed a PowerMac G5, which is running as a web server (4D). After we installed the OS X (10.4.9/PPC) and a few days running the machine did have problems starting up as usual. The machine did hang when trying to start up.
    We could startup from an external CD. Apple's disk utility reported thousands of files needed to be repaired. We repaired all of the permissions and had the startup problem again. We switched to another computer, a Mac mini (G4). The same problem (again repaired tons of permissions).
    We also used Apple's Hardware Check Disk. Nothing found! Alsoft's Disk Warrior only show us a few files which had the wrong encoding.
    The web server and its data are running/stored on a different volume (second partition).
    We totally do have three computers with the same problems. We are running 4th Dimension, Retrospect 6.x, Share Points, Pure FTP and Mac OS X 10.4.9. We are running several web servers with the same configuration except another Mac OS X version (e.g. 10.3.9)
    Does anybody know this problem and how to solve?

  • New Mac Mini and Repairing Permissions

    I've been having trouble with my Mail program and thought I would repair permissions to see if that would help. I ran disk utility from my internal hard drive and ran repair permissions. Apparently it found several permissions to repair, so I thought I would run repair permissions again and the same list appeared. Running a third time and the same list appeared again.Do these permissions ever get repaired? What do I do from here? Should I repair permissions after booting up off of my original system disk? This Mini is only a couple of weeks old and I'm already having problems with Mail and repairing permissions.
    rskover

    Thank you Tim but the computer is packed back waiting for TNT to take it back to Apple. I don't have time to play with permissions, the permissions are OK in the old computer.
    This is what may have been your problem. The permissions on your old computer may not have matched the new computer. I think you gave up before the penny dropped.
    They sell the computers very expensive and I think they would have to improve quality.
    I am unsure how that can be one of your gripes as when the cube came out it was way overpriced in comparison to their other desktops. That did not stop your or I getting one then.
    Your issue was a software problem not a hardware problem so no matter what kind of mac you had it would have needed troubleshooting.
    The quality of the new mac mini far exceeds that of the cube. Try playing 1080P high definition media on your cube, or even 480P for that matter. Try outputting 5.1 surround sound from your cube without the addition of a firewire audio interface.
    I know how frustrating it can be when something just does not seem to work. I have encountered this a few times in my work. However sometimes I just have leave it come back with fresh eyes and try other approaches and I succeed.
    What you need to appreciate installing an upgrade should be planned for any eventuality. In business upgrades are scheduled to have the minimum impact on the workplace. That being said I have worked 48 hrs solid over a weekend getting systems up for a monday morning. They are not always straightforward.

  • After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

    After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

    Peter
    Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • 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!

    Apple does not repair devices, they replace them.
    Out of warranty replacement is available, pricing varies by model and country.

  • 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.

  • Disk Utilities - How do I create a new Start-up Disk to repair permissions

    I believe that the Disk Utilities program updates with Software Updates. To run the new Permission Repairs, I believe I am supposed to boot from a separate disk to make repairs to the master system on the computer. How do I make a separate, stand-alone disk that will launch my computer and allow me to run the new Permission Repairs.
    Thank you,
    Charles

    Normally you Repair Permissions while booted from your Boot Drive, but in a pinch, you can do it from the Install Disk.
    Repair Permissions uses the list of PKGs in Library Receipts to get it's info, so if you must do it from the Install Disk, you should do it once again from the Bot Disk.
    Is it not booting from the Hard Disk?
    Only Disk Repairs, not Permission Repairs need to be run from other than he Boot Drive.
    DiskWarrior can fix both Disks & Permissions if you get the CD...

  • 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.
