I'm seeing this show up when I do a permissions repair in Snow Leopard 10.6.2
Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x, they are lrwxr-xr-x
Repaired "usr/share/derby"
It shows up each time I do this. Anyone else seeing this?
Recently I archived and installed leopard from tiger. Since then sometime there is a message that comes up telling me I need to restart my computer in all different languages. Also when I try to verify and repair my disk permissions, this is what shows up:
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/CodeResources", ....
Disk Utility says there are a bunch of disk permissions that need repairing. I hit repair and disk utility says that it repaired those disk permissions. But when I verify, it says they still need to be repaired.

I repaired permissions earlier and I keep getting these that won't be repaired. Is it anything to worry about? Any idea what the issue is?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I open Disk Utility and select one of the 2 volumes in the left pane, the buttons "Verify disk permissions" and "Repair disk permissions" remain greyed out. Only the "Repair disk" and "Verify disk" buttons are enabled. This is not the startup Volume. For this volume all 4 buttons are enabled.
How can I repair the disk permissions on the volume?
I have Mac OS X 10.6.4
Using the Apple Disk Utility...
What the difference between running Repair/Verify (Permissions or the Disk itself) on the hard drive or the boot volume listed in the window?
Some say just run it on the boot volume, others say run it on both.
Is there an advantage in doing both (if so, why) or should it be just the boot volume?

When running Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, it reports that there are errors and that it's fixed them but if I run it again, the same errors keep appearing.
I've noticed that the current permissions on the errors are lrw-rw-rw- which I assume means that they are symbolic links and not the actual files which Disk Utility is expecting. Any idea what's going on?
I bought this G5 with consistant startup problems but after replacing the hard drive,installing a fresh operating system, re-seating the ram, checking the Pram battery, etc, it was running fine. I now realize that when trying to repair the disk permissions, the same list keeps coming back even though it shows it's been repaired. Also, occasionally it may freeze or go into kernal panic on startup. If the hard drive is new, does it sound like a possible hardware problem? Does repairing disk permissions involve anything hardware?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having some real odd things going on with Snow Leopard. I thought that repairing permissions and repairing the disk may help. I ran the tests, but there are errors that look like they cannot be fixed. Below I posted the log file from Disk Utility:

What I should do since Disk Utility won't repair the problem?
I'm having a series of problems. First some intermittent audio problems with Garageband, then, then some external drives won't mount, and now I can't sync to my disk from the iMac. I've run Disk Utitilies a few times and when I do Verify Disk Permissions, it finds a list of things to fix, I then hit Repair Disk Permissions and it fixes them, and then hit Verify Disk, and it say the disk appears ok. When I do Verify Disk Permissions again though, it finds another long list of things to fix. Is this serious? What should my next step be? Should I reinstall the entire system?

Unfortunately, I think that Disk Utility is being dishonest with me.
I've been having some trouble with my Macbook Pro locating the startup folder in restarts (sometimes I get the flashing question-mark folder unless I hold down option and manually reselect OS X as the startup volume), and I noticed something very interesting (that's probably unrelated to my problem) when repairing permissions.
Disk Utility indicates the same EXACT problems... and the same EXACT repairs... EVERY single time I run Repair Permissions. I copy and pasted the results of Permissions Repair into Microsoft Word documents and looked at the word counts, and they're always exactly the same � 546 words, and the same items that are repaired.
How is it possible that the same items are always broken if they're supposedly being repaired? I run the Permissions repair over and over and over again... not doing anything else with the computer in between, and this still happens. I tried restarting, but that didn't change anything. This is the output that Disk Utility constantly gives me
I have my pbook g4 in target disk mode and I am trying to make a superduper backup but I get "Error starting permissions repair for disk1s3 Powerbook-G4-#1: Operation not supported for the Mac OS X version on the targeted disk (-9950)".
Disk utility doesn't have repair permissions enabled. So, I 've only done a repair disk on the target disk which a journaled hfs+.
I want to be able to change the icon of my Windows partition in OSX from the drab HDD one. So, when I tried to copy and paste a new .icn file in Get Info, it wouldn't paste. I think it is because the drive is set as read only. in disk utilities, the "repair disk permissions" is greyed out when windows drive is selected.

I carried out a "Repair Disk Permission" from the OS X Install disc by mistake. I meant to do "Repair Disk" from the OS X install disc. According to [URL] (and the guide posted here) "Repair Disk Permission" should not be done from the OS X install disc, as it may alter changes made by by software updates. Is there any way I can undo my mistake?

Problems seemed to begin on the weekend with a Flash plugin showing up as needing a new version. I replaced it with 10.0.43 and it didn't fix the problem. This may not be related of course.
How often should one need to repair permissions? It seems that I need to do so too frequently in order to repair sluggish or erratic performance. Â

So my teacher's iMac is behaving weirdly. She turns it on and she is asked to type in the password to log in. It's not set as automatic login. But it says the password is incorrect. She is positive the password is typed in correctly. She reboots it and types in the same password. This time, it lets her in. I tried repairing permissions but to no avail.
