Safe to verify and repair disk permissions with SSD?

Is it safe to verify and repair disk permissions with an SSD installed?

Thanks.
Its just strange, as soon as I repair all my permissions, if I verify them again straight away, there are some that already need re-repairing

Is anyone else having problems with Verifying and Repairing Disk permissions?

Hey folks, every time I try to verify and repair disk permissions lately, this is all I get...
Verifying permissions for “Macintosh HD”Group differs on “Library/Printers/InstalledPrinters.plist”; should be 80; group is 0.Permissions differ on “Library/Printers/InstalledPrinters.plist”; should be -rw-rw-rw- ; they are -rw-r--r-- .Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
I usually get a long list, then repair it, and it seems to keep things clean.
I'm having trouble with my address book.
When I move the mouse down the bottom of the page my dock doesn't come up right away, sometimes it won't - I have to command tab to go to another program.
So I'm wondering if these are related. Thanks for any help!

Not specifically Sky & Yahoo, but there seem to be quite a few threads with password problems and Yahoo. Is that what you are experiencing. Long thread here:

Disk Utility can't Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions"

I tried to run "Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on an external partition, but they all grayed out! "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" were fine! The "Owners Enabled" is "Yes". Why they were grayed out ?!
Get Info on this volume showed:
Ownership & Permissions:
You can "Read & Write"
Details:
Owner: admin
Access: "Read & Write"
Ignore ownership on this volume: checked or unchecked STILL grayed out!
Other partitions on the SAME drive are able to do "Very Disk Permissions" and
"Repair Disk Permissions" (as they are NOT grayed out !) The ONLY difference
between the one (CAN'T) and the rest partitions is that one (CAN'T) has
owner by "admin", and the rest partitions (OK to veryify pewrmissions) are owner
by "system". ANY CLUE ?

The options to verify or repair permissions are only available on a disk with Mac OS X 10.2 or newer installed, and all Mac OS X versions set the owner of the partition containing them to system when installed.

Hi Pondini,

Based on articles like

I always selected "DVD/CD Master" as the image format when making images from discs.
Is that not necessary?

Why can't I verify or repair disk permissions?

In recent weeks, when I have tried to verify or repair disk permissions, I get messages that say (whatever file) has been altered and will not be repaired.

I just wondered why I could suddenly no longer verify or repair anything.
That is not what you said in an earlier post. you said you got some errors that certain files could not be repaired. That is Not the same as I Can't Repair Anything. Certain files not having the permissions repaired is Normal. It happens on every Mac.

Verify & Repair Disk Permissions VS. Verify and Repair Disk

Is there a document that explains the differences in these two actions?
Thanks.

Hi Trevor,
Repair Permissions and Verify or Repair disk are two separate processes.
Repair Permissions is explained here.

Unable to verify and repair disk, with my new 10.5

I'm trying to work out some problems on my older G4 desktop (with lamp bass). I upgraded recently from 10.3 to 10.5 (bought new box with the 10.5 disk). I have 750 dramm.
I wish to verify and repair the disk. I can't figure out h ow with the new 10.5 disk I have.
In the past, I would boot up my computers with the 10.3 and 10.4 disks (I've had both) with "C" key down, and then I could use the utility.
That does not work with this new Leopard disk. Won't boot up with the "C" (or the "option" key for that matter).
That normal? And how do I repair disk for the install disk?
thx..
Jon

Jon,
The Leopard disk works (or is supposed to work) just like previous versions of OS X. In other words, booting the G4 while holding down the "C" key should boot the machine to the installer.
A couple of things might get in the way of this happening, though. First, let's establish that your G4 meets the minimum requirements for Leopard. For a G4, the important item would be at least an 867 MHz processor (if I'm not mistaken). Are we still "go?"
Also, let's eliminate the "duh!!!" possibility of a third-party or wireless keyboard, which may not be supported by the startup manager.
If you meet the minimum requirements, and you're using a standard, wired USB keyboard, your PRAM may be causing an issue. This happens, sometimes. To clear this up, first flush out the PRAM by holding down Command-Option-P-R at startup, and continue to hold it until you hear a total of four startup chimes. When you hear the fourth, immediately switch to holding the "C" key (with the Leopard disk inserted, of course).
If this doesn't get you booted to the installer, there may be something wrong with the installer disk.

Repair Disk Permissions with Lion

Installed Lion two days ago and thought I would "Verify/Repair Disk Permissions" for the first time with Lion. But I'm getting the warning message:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
I tried "Repair" twice and got the exact same message both times. I'm not sure if this is serious or not, and can't say for certain if it wouldn't have happened a week ago or few weeks ago (it's been nearly two months since last "Verfiy/Repair"). Any lessons, tips, instructions will be appreciated.

Installed Lion on my 27" iMac (mid 2010) and everyday since it shuts down after start up.
Called Apple they said repair permissions, after safe boot. Thats works but only for the next restart.
When I shutdown and start up the next day I have to go thru the same process.
Anybody else have this problem?

Cannot, View or Repair Disk Permissions with disk utility,

Hey,
I can't repair disk permissions using Disk Utility.
I can only repair them using the boot disk and I'm just worried that something somewhere is corrupted or gone irky (Technical computer term).
Thanks.

Leopard buggy and repairing disk permissions odd. realated?

Since installing 10.5 I've been having problems with apps quitting unexpectedly -- mostly mail, safari, and Final Cut suite programs.
When I repair permissions, I get this (which is new since installing leopard also):

Permissions repair complete
Is there any connection? Should I fix the situation that doesn't allow Dick Utility to repair my permissions? The apps quitting are driving me crazy!
Thanks!

There's no connection. See:
Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files
Also, it's always a great idea to search the forum for keywords related to your question before starting a new thread -- there's often someone else out there asking the same thing, and sometimes even an answer. This question, for example, has been asked dozens of times.

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.

Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions

Using Yosemite 10.10.3 , an this is what I see every time I run the Disk Utility. Then I select 'Repair Disk Permissions' but nothing ever gets fixed. Whats the point of the 'Repair' button if nothing ever gets repaired?? Should I not believe the results of 'Verify Disk" either??

Disk utility - Verify and repair disk permission does not work

On my dual i'm trying to make a verify and than a rpair disk permission but the bar stop after a while and will never finish (even if the estimaed time is less than one minute).
Ideas?

Same boat... here's my thread from early this week:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1403467
Haven't had time to test the suggestion yet though.

Lion "Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions" grayed out

Please help!

Repair using Disk Utility was OK on the volumes, but Repair for the drive was grayed out.
That's very odd. Is your drive G.U.I.D?
Boot into Safe Mode (Hold Shift-Key), then boot normally.

Verify/Repair disk permissions

I heard that it's a good idea to verify and repair disk permissions. What does that do? And, when should I do it?
-Eric

Hi, again, Eric.
My, we're curious today, aren't we?
See:
• My "The Repair functions in Disk Utility: what's it all about?" FAQ.
• My "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
Good luck!
