Workaround for Disk Permissions after 10.5.1

I don't know if this was posted but I saw on macfixit.com a workaround or even a fix for the additional disk permissions you see after the 10.5.1 update. If you do the update from Software Update you seem to get these extra permission errors. If you download the full 10.5.1 update and apply that, you don't get the permissions errors except for the ARDAgent error. The reapplying the full update also doesn't make it any faster.

Yes the software update located under the 'Apple menu' seems to be having more issues than the 110MB update located on the Apple web site. Maybe because it's just a 39MB patch where as the other one is a full update. They have issued a tech note saying that the ARDAgent error is correct but that it's nothing to worry about. After applying the 110MB (version) 10.5.1 update our Disc Utility and most other issues with 10.5 have gone away. The biggest issue for us right now is the constant nagging for passwords all the time, especially in Mail

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 ...

Can anyone see the issue or tell me what I need to do to fix this thing???

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

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.

Disk permissions after leopard update software is installed

after installing osx 10.5 updates to 10.5.1 i got several suid warnings on disk permission verify which could not be fixed. i also got a lot of acl found but not expected messages for many files.
the only suid warning which apple tells me they are aware of is the one for apple remote desktop update. the question is why is that update available to computers which do not have apple remote desktop installed?
the other question i have is since this is a brand new imac which only has the leopard operating system installed, why do i get all of these suid and acl mesages when i run disk permissions verify. the repair permissions will not repair any of these files.

sorry for the delay in responding, but have decided to stay with tiger until the leopard software becomes more mature.
appreciate your response and my apologies for the delay in responding.

You May Want to Repair Disk Permissions After Printer Updates Today

It's been pretty automatic for quite a while--install printer updates and then repair disk permissions. Most of the time, the permissions errors aren't critical and everything still works; however, many people like to keep their boot disk permissions fixed.
After installing "HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers2.7.2" and "BrotherPrinterDrivers2.7" today I again repaired permissions. The errors weren't critical, but I can't remember seeing more of them than I did today. Make sure and scroll the list of errors because if you don't have scroll bars showing all the time, it doesn't look like there is much in the way of errors. When I didn't see a scroll bar, I assumed there were only a few errors--wrong.
My installation was on a Lion system. And, Disk Utility did fix them all. None were there when I repaired permissions a second time.
Just an FYI.

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

10.5.6: Problems with disk permissions after Time Machine restore

HELP!
This is the second time this is happening to me-- I restored my 10.5.6 system fully from a Time Machine backup, and now the disk permissions, as far as I can tell, are completely screwed up.
I have not turned off my system since the restore, for fear that it won't start up again (as was the case the last time I did this). When I try to repair disk permissions in the Disk Utility app, I get the error message "The underlying task reported failure on exit."
Generally, the system does not have access to certain folders (most, if not all of them, actually).
For example, Safari can't use plugins.
I'm not asking why this is happening, I just want to know what I should do to avoid having to reinstall 10.5.5, update it to 10.5.6, and put all of my files back, because all my settings would be deleted if I chose that option.
I'm not going to turn off my computer until I fix this, because I know it will never startup--
again.
DUN DUN DUN...
So please help me, and thank you kindly,
SeanDaBomb

I repaired permissions, updated prebindings, cleaned user caches and cleaned archived logs almost every single day before I restored my system. I was trying out this theme changer for Leopard that was unable to undo its (ugly) work. I think the problem might be that I restored the system from my 10.5.5 install disk (yes, in the Utilities menu, the Restore From Backup option).
Using a 10.5.5 install disc doesn't matter, as you didn't actually load anything from it, just used it's installer to do the restore from TM.
So you selected a previous backup, from before all the trouble started, right?
My backup drive's condition is alright, so I doubt that I restored corrupted files.
Everything now on your system came from your TM drive.
I'd suggest booting from your Leopard Install disk, and using it's copy of Disk Utility to do a +Repair Disk+ on your internal HD, then a +Repair Permissions.+

Why won't my macbook pro repair disk permissions after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I upgraded my 2010 Macbook pro with 2.4gHz core 2 duo processor to Mountain Lion and ever since it has been giving me issues. One of my biggest concerns is that it will no longer repair disk permissions. The progress bar goes about half way and just sits there without finishing, and this is something i'm used to doing very regularly. Other than that it has been crashing fairly often and just acting strange where on Snow Leopard it never crashed or had any issues. Any suggestions?

Quit Safari. From the Finder click on Go > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Preferences. Delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Logout/Login and restart Safari. Try to save a bookmark to the Bookmarks bar.

Disk Permissions after update

Every time a security update or OS update in Tiger is finished and I run Disk Utility to check permissions, Shockwave always needs the permissions changed.
Is Shockwave a problem? Do I have a damaged version? I do not seem to have any issues, but this does seems a bit odd.

No no need to worry on that really, it's just a disagreement between the APP setting what t thinks rights should be, and what is stored in the Library Reciepts folder that DU uses, there are about a have dozen other ones that do the same.
Spurious repairs I think they call them, but no effect in the end.

Which Disk for Disk Utility after Leopard upgrade?

Greetings,
If I need to run Disk Utility from the DVD, which disk should I use? The original disk that came with my iMac when I purchased it, or the Leopard install disk that I upgraded to a little over a month ago?
Thanks in advance - Scrags

If the earlier Disk Utility didn't try to "repair" anything. then the Leopard Disk Utility should still work.
If the older Disk Utility tried to repair a Time Machine volume, it might remove folder hard links. The Leopard Disk Utility would have no way of fixing that.

Why isn't Disk Utility clear after "Repair Disk Permissions"?

Having used my computer for several days I decided to use Disk Utility to “Repair Disk Permissions” after a few hours of use.
2008-11-29 08:30:17 -0800: Disk Utility started.

My question...
Why did I initially see:
2008-11-29 08:43:29 -0800: Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
2008-11-29 08:48:26 -0800: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
and why after restarting should I end up with only
2008-11-29 09:38:47 -0800: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
and after “Clear History” and rerunning Disk Utility why is everything clear until I start using the computer again?
I’ve had it explained that “Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26” is not meaningful, but I’d like to know WHY it happens. I’d also like to know why “ Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .” initially appears.
Thank you,

As a casual "Apple Discussions" user it hadn't occurred to me that if a question had been answered previously, it should never be asked again.
It's not that. It's because the problem's been beaten to death over the past fourteen months, since Apple shipped Leopard, that most consider it common knowledge, no matter where one's been visiting or how often. Every Apple/Macintosh related website has addressed the never ending issue. Finally, since the forums Help file says:
*I have a question or issue—how do I search for answers?*
+It's possible that your question or issue has already been answered by other members so do a search before posting a question. On most Apple Discussions pages, you'll find a Search Discussions box in the upper right corner. Enter a search term (or terms) in the field and press Return.

Suspend MDT, Sysprep for disk cloning, and resume with new hardware failure.

I am able to successfully Sysprep for disk cloning after pausing the Deployment (via LTISuspend). The problem is when I attempt to resume the Deployment after duplicating the hard drive and placing in new hardware it fails immediately stating that it cannot
open the TSENV.DAT (80090005). It works fine if you resume in the identical hardware it was built in.
The hardware is identical for all computers receiving the cloned drive with the Mac Address, Serial Number, and UUID being different.
Knowing that the TSENV.DAT is encrypted, is there a way to prep it for minor hardware (mac address, uuid, and serial number only) change prior to pausing and sysprep so it does not fail?
Using MDT 2012 and Windows 7 OS.
Thanks

Let me add to what Mr. Owen described.
We have a complex MDT. It has been used for years for a globally scaled corporate desktop.
What we are looking to do to is sysprep this machine 3/4 of the way through the process, clone the drive, and then use the cloned drive on like hardware models (we used PersistDrivers in the Unattend).
I initially ran sysprep outside of the MDT. It ran successfully, however when we moved the syspreped (and cloned) drive to another hardware of identical type we got the error Mr Owen mentioned. What we hoped would happen if we called Sysprep from
the MDT directly is the TSENV would be cleaned/updated to remove any workstations specific identifiers and thus eliminate the error.

Disk Utility failing to repair permissions after 10.5.7

I have upgraded to 10.5.7 and now I am unable to repair disk permissions. I have tried using disk utility and that does not work. It says it has completed after less than a second, when it says that it will take several minutes to read the permissions database. I need the permissions repaired as Final Draft will not work at all with the current settings.
I have tried repairing from CD but my Superdrive does not recognise the install disk. My other machine shows it as readable. I think that I have a problem with the Superdrive and am dealing with that as well.
I have also tried TechTool Pro 5 and that did not work either. Any suggestions?

Firstly I never delete anything in the library folder. So nothing that I have done.
My Library/Receipts folder is very small, the actual db folder is less than 400 kb and none of the pkg's is older than 16th of May 2009, and all of them are for programs that I reinstalled since.
I can wipe the drive and reinstall Leopard and restore the data via Super Duper. Is that practical as a way of rebuilding the database? Or shall I reinstall applications? I can use Amnesia to clear everything if that helps.

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Rationale for Repairing Disk Permissions

I repair permissions before and after installations, and I suggest others to do so. However, I have read in some threads in Discussions there there is no technical basis for repairing disk permissions before installation, and that only repairing after installation is necessary.
I realize that there are different opinions about this, but beyond opinions is there a technical basis or rationale for repairing disk permissions before installations?
Thanks.

Hi cornelius,
Here is some reading about this topic. Mind that Apple DOES recommend repairing permissions as routine maintenance (see links at the bottom)! My suggestion to Repair permissions before and after an update has a very simple rational: If you forgot to repair permissions AFTER the last update you might get into trouble. Therefore it is safe and costs only a few seconds to do it before and after the update.
mac.column.ted: Unravelling the Repair Disk Permissions controversy
"Ted Landau
May 2006
Repairing Disk Permissions. Not exactly a topic that you would expect to spark much controversy. Yet, surprisingly, it is the focal point of a rather heated debate.
The command itself is innocuous enough. It is included as part of the First Aid component of Disk Utility. Apple's Help for Disk Utility states: "User permissions associated with files, folders, or applications can become damaged and prevent a file or application from opening. Permissions problems can also cause your computer to run slowly. Using Disk Utility, you may be able to fix these permissions problems...Repairing permissions may also be recommended after updating the system or installing new software."
Consistent with this, many users and Web sites (including MacFixIt and at least some postings on MacinTouch) recommend the use of Repair Disk Permissions, not only for specific signs of trouble, but as a part of generic troubleshooting and ongoing maintenance for your Mac.
In contrast, other members of the Mac community (writing in locations such as the Daring Fireball , Unsanity, and the MDJ) argue that running this command just for maintenance, in the absence of any particular symptom, is essentially worthless. Some critics go even further and claim there is no justification for ever selecting to repair permissions. Not only is it useless, they contend, but it may even cause new problems to appear. This viewpoint is often expressed with inflammatory rhetoric such as "covering yourself in Vaseline and rolling around naked in the dirt and repairing permissions are just as likely to fix your Mac OS X problem" (Unsanity).
Regardless of who's right or wrong, I don't believe that insulting users is merited here, especially when these users are simply following advice suggested by Apple itself. As it turns out, I also do not agree with the position of these critics. So, although I may be stepping into a minefield, here's my own take on this subject and my resulting recommendations.

Disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault

Hi,
I found my disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault, nearly everything belongs to "system" now.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me what permissions are standard for
-Desktop
-Applications
-System
-Libary
ore doesn't it matter anyway ????
Thanks a lot...

Assuming you're just talking about the Owner being System then:
The owner of Desktop should be your user name.
Applications and System should be System. Since these are not in your Home folder these permissions would have been corrected when you ran Repair Disk Permissions.
The Library folder depends on which Library folder you are talking about. If it's the Library folder that's in the same folder as System and Applications, then the Owner should be System, as well. Again, if that is not in your Home folder, then the permissions repair would have corrected it.
If, however, it's the Library that's in your Home folder, then it should have your username as the Owner.
Filevault only affects things that are in your Home folder so turning it on/off doesn't affect permissions anywhere else.
