Verify disk permissions question....

Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”
ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities".
ACL found but not expected on "Applications".
ACL found but not expected on "Library".
I verified my permissions on my internal disk with all my externals disconnected... this is what I got as a report. what does this mean and what should I do?
fresh install of Leopard and FCS2
also I still have Tiger and FCS1 (carbon copy cloned) on an external drive and it was hooked up to my iMac while I did the clean install of Leopard. now whenever I run FCP it will sometimes spin up the external and search for something even though I do not have it set for a scratch drive or anything.... what is going on? should all externals be disconnected while doing a fresh format and install of OS and Apps?
thanks for all your help.

ok I found this article so I guess that answers my first question.... what about the disk spin ups????
thanks

  • After clean install of Mountain Lion 10.8.5 no Gate Keeper and a ton a long list of differences in verify disk permissions after updating to Itunes 12.1

    HI everybody.
    I have a MacBopok Prop 15" from mid 2012, 2.6Ghz, Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM 1 TB SSD.
    As my Mac was running as fast as possible it  was getting slower down during start and shutdown, from 2 secopnds to 15 secconds during start and shutdown . Apps were crashing sometimes a freeze, total crash which made me go directly to Recovery HD and not my log in page after all the tricks I know I took it to service center where they zeroed my SSD HD and reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Strangly enough Gate keeper was not in my preferences and a old version of Itunes 10.4 if I recall. The Mac is still slow while I reinstall all apps from App store and one for one documents and folders from my latest TM back up.
    Updated the Security update, and other updates had the same problem as many updating Iphoto 9.4.3 error 102, still have not been able.
    But running verify disk permissions there is a massive list of Itunes differences while I have not  even added one song. At least 60 to 70 differences. I know a lot of these differences are nothing to worry about but a clean install without Gate keeper and an old Itunes which after update to 12.1 has so many disk differences, this can not as it should be also as I have not added anything from my Itunes library. Any feedback or advice would be very much appreciated.
    Greetings
    Matt

    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

  • Verify disk permissions

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me why I keep getting this when I run "Verify Disk Permissions"?:
    Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    Permissions differ on "private/var/spool/cups/cache/rss", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are drwxrwxr-x .
    This is why i think my computer is slowing down as well. it was working fine before i installed the brother multi-function printer.
    disk utility repairs the permissions but when i restart the comp and run disk repair it comes up again. this is following up from an earlier post from beth.

    I also agree with Kappy, it's nothing to worry about and should have no effect on how fast your iMac runs. Although if you installed the printer software off an out of date disk you would do well to go to the Support website for that printer and download the latest 10.5 drivers.

  • Disk Utility - Verify Disk Permissions / Repair

    I run Disk Utility > Verify Disk Permissions with this rsult:
    Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .
    The following repair was successful.
    A few minutes later I run Verify Disk Permissions again with the SAME result:
    Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .
    What does it mean and how can I stop this error?
    Thanks!

    There is nothing in that message that requires repairing. That is why it keeps showing up.
    The permission database has to be updated every time the system is updated. If they miss a change that they have made in the system, it will get flagged as you see, but doesn't mean anything is wrong.
    That KnowledgeBase article also must be updated to reflect the things they missed.
    All that message is saying is that the directory derby is now replaced with a link to another directory (the l vs the d). However, mine doesn't have a link. Did you install anything that might have updated derby?
    If you open Terminal and enter this code, can you post the line that has derby on it?ls -al /usr/share/
    I'm repairing permissions now to see what pops up for me, but that will take a little while.
    Edit: I looked into the Derby directory and Derby is a Relational Database Management System used by Apache. So, did you install something that modified Apache, PHP, mySQL or something like that? It might have altered the link.

  • Slow.  iMac 10.5.8.  Verified Disk Permissions and then Repaired Disk Permissions.  Not much improvement in speed.  How do I empty internet files from safari?

    iMac 10.5.8 is slow.  Verified Disk Permissions and then repaired.  No big improvement in speed.
    What about internet files (safari and firefox) ; caches and cookies?

    It runs in single user mode, where it runs more safely than other maintenance/cleaning programs because there is less chance of interference from the OS. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO,"  you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
    The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

  • Verify disk permissions: Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.

    I need help. My iMac has been doing weird stuff for awhile but now it's just out of control. I did a system restore from a time maching backup and I thought things were okay, but then I rebooted in safe mode just to see if it would help with the "slow" problem I had after the restore. Well, all I could get after that was a black screen. So I booted up from my install disk and ran verify disk permissions and got this error code: Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    I've also seen: Invalid node structure, etc.
    I hope someone can give me some good advice. I've thought about purchasing Disk Warrior but am trying to put it off as I don't want to spend $100.
    Thanks for any help.

    Try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • 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 ?
    -DC

    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.

  • I've never run verify disk permissions before, but I finally have, and it says it's going to take an hour and 35 minutes to complete.

    Although it keeps actively finding problems with the disk, the progress bar hasn't changed for more than a half an hour, and it still says it's going to take an hour and 35 minutes. I'm starting to worry it will never be done! My laptop, a Macbook Pro, is pretty old - about five years, and I don't know if the fact that I've never run a verify disk permissions before has anything to do with it.
    The only non-greyed out option is to currently 'stop permission verify'.

    Just let it run, it probably won't take that long. Also you may benefit from reading Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.

  • Repair/verify disk permissions and Preview problem.

    The preview problem is yet to be solved + is outlined here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=298858&tstart=0
    Also:
    I decided to open up disk utility and verify disk permissions, this went fine. I then went on to 'verify disk' and it told me:
    Volume Header needs minor repair
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    What's the solution? start up from OSX install disc? is this hard to do?

    I am also having trouble with "verify disk permissions".
    I have had frequent crashes recenlty and as a result upgraded to Tiger. The system crashes sometime when recovering from sleep (twice yesterday) and was crashing ferquently in Panther OS when hitting the odd key here and there.
    Since upgrading to Tiger, I have apparrently successfully "repaired the disc permissions" on the start up volume, but then when I come to check them again, there are still the same problems, even though the "disk utility" has been run successfully. Have run disc warrior and "Verify disk" and still not convinced.
    I also notice that the machine seems to be much slower running Tiger than before.
    I avoided a complete install of the new OS because of all the aggro that involves, but it may be my only option if no one can help.
    All thoughts appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Start Up Time, slowing down and Verify Disk Permissions?

    Hey All, today since i was curious and i havent done it in a while, i timed my macbook start up time. It was clocked at 42 seconds, which is slower than what it used to be. Can you tell me your start up time? Also im a little inexperienced with Apple Computers i would like to know why its slowing down. Since it slowed down, i went to Verify Disk Permissions to see if maybe something was wrong and this showed up http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b173/JoshSG/Picture1-2.png again, i repaired the permissions about a month ago and i guess it didnt clear up. Does that have anything to do with the start up time and any way to actually clear those permissions up?
    Thanks
    I hope it is not confusing

    I am having the exact same problem- be curious to see if anyone has an answer. I think my problem may be related to time machine- if I unplug the firewire this doesn't seem to happen- not sure the 2 are connected. Do you use time machine via a firewire?

  • Verify Disk permissions procedures and time?

    How often should one Verify Disk Permissions?
    Should this be done through the iMac Applications/Utities/Disk Utility.app or should this be done using the Lepard Installation Disk?
    When it starts, how long should it take? The last time I did this, it took 5 hours. Is this excessive?
    Thanks

    Oh, you were going by the estimated time - don't, it's usually wildly inaccurate.
    As far as using an install disc for Permissions repair, here's what Apple (and I) say:
    +Should I start up from a Mac OS X install disc to repair disk permissions?+
    +When possible, disk permissions should be repaired while started up from a Mac OS X volume (hard disk) that contains updated Mac OS X software, instead of a Mac OS X installation disc. Mac OS X software updates may change permissions on some files to improve security. When this occurs, the version of Disk Utility on the Mac OS X volume is updated to account for the new permissions. Running Disk Utility while started from the Mac OS X volume ensures that the changes made by software updates are preserved.+
    The entire article can been seen [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751].
    The top drive is always followed by volumes it contains - e.g. my hard drive is WDCxxx, then under it and indented are the two volumes (partitions) I have on it.

  • When I run Verify Disk Permissions I get something that can not be repaired.

    When I run Verify Disk Permissions I get something that can not be repaired. The message I get is
    Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    When I run a repair disk permissions it does not get rid of this.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    aquilafisher --
    I would recommend that you don't waste your time with "Verify."  Go straight to "Repair Permissions."
    The chances are excellent that you will get that one advisory, and at the end it will say "Repair Permissions Completed."
    There are lots of those notations that will seem to us everyday users as an "error."  But it's just noted changes.
    If after running "Repair" it says "Repair Permissions Could Not be Completed," that's the only time you ned to worry.
    And, I totally agree with what Niel said.  Sorry, did not see his reply when I poster.
