So between today and yesterday I have just been doing some casual maintenance with my Mac Mini. I decided I would run the First Aid program in utilities just to make sure everything is doing well. I was just wondering what is the difference between the two options "Verify Disk" and Verify Disk Permissions"- what exactly do each of them do? It almost sounds self-explanatory but can someone shed some light for me?
I've ran all the verification tests on each hard drive I have and repaired them when needed. So far it has only been my external WD hard drive that needed to have a repair, though I didn't notice anything wrong with it prior to running the verification test. Basically, I'm just wondering what each of the functions do.

I have a mbp 5,2 running 10.5.7 will all updated software. I ran first aid on the computer, from another computer, and from the startup disk. I keep getting the following output everytime I try to verify permissions. I was wondering about two things:
a) will the following have an adverse affect on my system
b) is there a work around.

Reading permissions database.
Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.
Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework/Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .

Right, I just upgraded the Hard Drive in my white Macbook today. So I put a fresh install of OSX on and put all my pictures, music, apps etc back on. After I had done everything I decided to check the permissions and repair any if needed. As it was verifying the permissions loads came up that needed repaired. So when i clicked repair it all seemed to go fine, it doesn't say any couldn't be fixed or nothing. But I went to verify them again just to double check and they were all still there needed repaired again.

i accidentally set permissions in the Mac HD Info window for Everyone to "No Access". of course it locked up. i have an external drive plugged in running Time Machine. i understand i can use that to restore...?
I ran disk utility - it failed because it could not locate the clip art folder in word (?wha?) repair disk permissions ran for 24 hours and couldn't complete. anyway - I know there is an easy solution here - i just want to be sure i'm doing it correctly so i dont make it worse than it already is...would some kind soul please provide me step-by-step instructions to either use Time Machine to repair - or something.
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 RelatedI am getting this when repairing permissions : "Warning: SUID file System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Doesn't look like permissions get fixed.
What can I do?
Using OS X 10.5.6
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?
after verifying disc permissions is it necessary to "repair" disc permissions?
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
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 haven't had a problem downloading anything so far on my mac. However when trying to download Onyx in Safari the download finishes and then I get a "Verification Error" message. When trying to download through FireFox I get another error messages that my codecs are overrun. I've cleared my cache in both browsers as well as got rid of any partial downloads of the file to no avail. Has anyone experienced this before that can help me out?

I have lost two Superdrives, and now this new one is acting up. I am getting the following error message after the verification has started:This disc can't be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063). Could not open the data fork of "<unable to get file path>" (-43).

I was told to try and repair the disk using disk utility.
I opened it and hit verify disk. After about 5 minutes and it said "invalid node structure" "volume check failed" and "error: filesystem verify or repair failed"
Why is that happening?
I'm not really sure what to do or what exactly is wrong. I'm hoping not to reboot or reinstall all together, but if I have to... I suppose there's no choice. I tried 'Verify Disk' from the utilities, but is fails and says
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 712836 instead of 712840)
Invalid volume directory count
(It should be 171417 instead of 171413)
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
I tried doing a 'Repair Disk' from the installation CD, but it says it fails because it could not unmount the HD.
Im getting this error when I verify disk but it wont let me repair it. What can I do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Macbook pro has been running slow as of late (spinning rainbow) causing other programs to freeze up. I verify/repaired the disk permissions with no problem until I went to verify/repair disk.
The error called "Filesystem verify or repair failed" appeared with the following information: invalid volume count / invalid directory count. This volume needs to be repaired.
Question: Is this causing the macbook to run slow? How can I repair this problem? What actions inflicts this problem? ( To prevent this in the future )
Mac keeps powering down on startup. I am able to get to the Lion Recovery and verify the physical disk but I am not able to verify the volume "MAC HD" I get errors. The physical disk verify looks good.

1. Very recently I keep getting the message 'Cannot verify certificate of server' on a great number of webpages on my mac,including this apple site.  This has been around the time of getting an iPhone, perhaps a coincidence?   I have never seen this message before. I press 'continue' however it's getting a bit annoying.Â
2. Also, since getting this message my facebook page cannot load properly on safari (mac). It comes up mis-aligned on the page, in times new roman font,  with no colour or logos/images. This is around the time of changing the password of my facebook account via my iPhone, again, not sure if this is a coincidence. I'm on snow leopard 10.6.8.

I just bought a used MBA mid 2012 2.0 256 i7. I am not able to verify the hard disk. The progress bar does the spinning candy cane thing while it is getting ready to go to solid blue then it disappears and the text says "verifying volume “hard disk†Checking file system" but nothing is happening. I waited 10 minutes but still nothing was added to to the list and nothing changed.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a new MP Quad and I am noticing that I am always having to repair my startup disk. I will notice the system start to slow down, I will have Onyx verify startup disk and it tells me to repair it. I will boot to SL DVD, repair the disk and it will run fine for awhile but eventually end up in the same situation. Do I need to reinstall SL or is this a hardware issue?
