Same results for 'Permissions repair complete'
Very strange. I went to "First Aid' and clicked on "Repair Disc Permissions."
After a half hour or so, the report showed stuff like "Repaired "System/Library/Core Services/ . . . and ended with "Permissions repair complete."
I repeated the process and got the same results. In other words, the repair was not complete.
Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore
There is never a reason to repair permissions, except in the very rare case of a permission error, which you'll probably never see, or a boot failure. The built-in help for Disk Utility says:
Repairing disk permissions
If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.
It’s not completely irrational to repair permissions after running a third-party installer, since such installers have been known to set incorrect permissions. Otherwise, repairing permissions is a complete waste of time.

Permissions repair - completes immediately
when I repair permissions with Disk Utility, the process completes in the blink of an eye and does not list anything as having been repaired. This began after I installed iTunes 10.0 and the latest security update. I have tried to repair permissions a few times since then and the same thing happens.
Have all my permissions received permission?
I am not experiencing any problems opening or finding anything.I'm not sure what might have caused this. You should try to see if it's system wide or just your user. Create a new admin account and test for this behavior there.
As a troubleshooting procedure, you could try running Applejack which is a very useful little program for troubleshooting and repairing. It runs from Single User Mode. Hold CMD-S at the startup chime. (Also, be sure to read the Read Me.) It's very easy to use. You just follow the on screen prompts. First, just type in applejack and press return. To begin with, I'd only run it only for steps 3 and 4, which will do a relatively light cache cleaning and check for corrupted Preference files. Doing it this way, you'll also be able to run those steps for your user, not just the system. If that doesn't help, run it for deeper cache cleaning by typing in applejack AUTO and let it proceed through a full sequence of tasks (which includes Disk and Permissions Repair.) Note: that if you do a deeper cache cleaning, you can expect the system to run a bit slower until those caches are rebuilt and it may take several restarts after running it for the benefits to be realized.

And here's an article which explains it.

Can I delete Receipts.pkg files? For Permissions repair, verify first?
I recently read that all *.bom (/Library/Receipts/boms/*.bom) files should be preserved so Mac os x knows what files an installer put into which location. But what about those large .pkg files (/Library/Receipts/*.pkg)? Those take up more than half a GB on my drive. Can I just dump all the *.pkg files?
On another note, when I want to repair permissions I can either "Verify" or "Repair" disk permissions. I suspect I don't have to verify permissions when the repair button can be pressed, assuming that verification is part of the repair? Or do I have to go verify and then repair?Can I just dump all the *.pkg files?
If you do then Software Update will be confused and Permissions Repair will be damaged. So, don’t.
No you don’t have to verify before repairing Permissions.

How come I always get the same results when I repair permissions?
When I repair permissions I get the following messages, even if I do it again immediately afterwards:
+Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .+
+Repaired "usr/share/derby".+
+Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+The message about the ARDAgent is the result of an Apple update to Apple Remote Desktop from awhile ago. If you ran the update, you will get the notice. The "derby" message says that instead of a folder in the /usr/share directory there is now a symbolic link. Since derby is a java gizmo for the Apache web server, and there is a new Java update from Apple (which I haven't run yet, as it requires a restart), it is quite possible that the update makes that change. As Barney noted, Apple has not been good at making changes in the permissions database when they send out updates. The result is that we begin to see these little notes. Initially the database was in complete accord with what the installation had, and there were no warnings at all in Snow Leopard. After the ARD update the SUID warning began, and it is likely the Java update just added another one.
However, the tendency of people to just automatically ignore all warnings all the time, a legacy of the horrible performance of Apple in updating the database in Leopard (where one would get dozens of these things), is I think unfortunate. There can be real errors, some of which could indicate something bad, such as a compromised computer. One really needs to stop and think about which files are showing a warning, and what the warning means, and whether it is the case that all Snow Leopard installations that are fully updated are showing the particular warnings in question.

Huge increase in disc activity and need for permissions repair
I didn't know whether to post this here or in the OsX section. I'm posting here because it started after I put in an Airport Extreme.
My hard disc seems to be working almost non-stop now, churning away in the backgound like never before. Also, I've done a "repair permissions" every day since I put it in, and the list is now massive, every time! Before I'd have about 10-20 lines, and it was done. Try again the next day and much less. Now, every day it goes on for ages, mostly repairing stuff to do with core services and Java (and quite a few Airport thingies too!).
Is it just my imagination or is the Airport doing something odd with my system?Jeffrey Cusick wrote:

Sorry but the "wide channels" option is ONLY available if you are using 5 GHz, 802.11n only network setting in your Time Capsule/AEBS. As soon as you throttle it back to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with older standards b/g then you loose that speed. There is another option. You can set up a "dual-band" network by adding another b/g device (like an AirPort Express) running at 2.4 GHz at the same time as the Time Capsule running at 5 Ghz. This is explained (not very well) in Apples "Designing Airport Networks 10.5". Then you get full 270 Mbit/sec 802.11n for your n compatible computers and your older macs would connect to the b/g network. You would give the networks different SSID names.
Thanks Jeffrey, probably will leave it as is, I only have one n compatible machine out of 3 so probably not worth the extra setup. Even so by making my TC my base station I did my final first backup (the G4 ibook) and wow with making TC my basestation and using the new 7.3.1 firmware this backup (which I am doing as wireless since this machine is elsewhere in house) is booking unlike my first attempt with old setup and 7.3.0 firmware. It is going to finnish in 5-6 hours as opposed to several days when TC was added to my existing computer to computer network and using old firmware. So it is worth making it the basestation so I could use the 7.3.1 firmware (which could not to the old WEP my computer to computer network could only do).

I always get 'Location Not Available' for one of my contacts in the Find My Friends app. This same friend get's the same message when trying to find me. The app and the iOS software on both iPhones is up to date, the dates and time on both iPhones are correct and both iPhones are in the UK where the Find my Friends service works fine.
There is one condition in which we can see where each other is and that is by having the app open on both phones, this is unlike all my other contacts within the Fnd my Friends app where I can see where they are despite the app not being open on their devices. Can anyone help? It's really bugging us.For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may
help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and
then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at
a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from
completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to
reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no
ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

Thanks for the help on this one
ThanksAs 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:

Consecutive running of repair produces same result - so, clearly NONE of the "repairs" have actually been "repaired!" Also, anyone know what the heck the LAST ENTRY means? I CERTAINLY HAVE NOT REPAIRED AN SUID FILE!!Apple says to ignore this. It is a known issue.

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?

Permissions Repair, same issues every time
Hi there
I have a question about permission repair. I have been having a lot of quirks with my machine and, following the advice of people here, am always running disk utility to repair permissions. However, every time I run it, I get the same leghty list of issues. Now, I have read the knowledge base article and know that some are safe to ignore, but my list is pretty long. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Thanks

Although repairing permissions is a popular ritual, it's almost never useful. Don't waste time on it unless you have a specific reason to think it's necessary. -
Same permissions repaired repeatedly
What does it mean when the same list of permissions needs repairing each time I verify permissions?

Permissions repair complete
Is this OK... or not?
Thanks!Don't worry about them.
If you end up with the message 'permission repair complete' you are fine.
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 and 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
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. -
I've tried unsuccessfully to repair permissions on the internal HD using DU while booted from the internal, and while booted from the Install DVD.
In both cases DU didn't repair them, its log is:

I've tried also Onyx and Maintenance but, both finished in less than a second without actually repairing permissions.
Does anybody have a clue as to why this is happening, or should I do an E&I?
Thank you all.

I did Verify Disk both from DU in the internal and from DU in the Leopard Install DVD; in both cases it gave the same result: "Mac HD appears to be OK" but it’s not OK otherwise I would be able to repair permissions.
I can't see a way out of this without doing an E&I.

Java issue with permissions repair
Hello.
I know of the list of issues that I can safely ignore when repairing permissions. However, recently I've had issues with Java on Safari and when I repair permissions, I get this:

Permissions repair complete
This is a tad bit more text than I am used to, and am wondering about the console.jar and "Virtual Machines" as I"ve not seen these before. Any ideas? Anything I should worry about?
Oh, Java test site says Java is working fine and is the most recent version.I´m also for a week now with a big problem in Mail - hundreds of messages got blank and disappeared after "rebuild", now it won´t even synchronize. I put this in a thread in the Mail forum, but solutions only go as far as backups - which I don´t have. It started after installing the last Java patch and it still the same after updating to 10.6.5 and permission repair (which shows:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
to sum up: Sent mails are lost, received mails before certain dates (few days back in 1 account, years back in another and no trouble in the third one) won´t get downloaded again, even with new setup of the account - and all started after the java patch.
Help is very appreciated (maybe I can restore my sent mails from somewhere?!)
