I've been meaning to ask this for some time. When I repair my disk permissions I get the following warning: "Warning - SUID file 'System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent' has been modified and will not be repaired". What does it mean? Why isn't it being repaired?

When repairing permissions on a G4 iBook with OS 105.8, I find about 8 files that contain the above message and one that contains the message "ACL found but not expected in the Application / Utilities". What does this mean and how are these corrected?

In Red Letters. What is a SUID FILE? I am using a Mac Pro,
running 10.6.2
I am on an IMac - system 10.4.11. Voice over started unprompted - driving me nuts - and I fixed. But in doing I discovered an errant file with a warning attached. File is MacOSiaX2.oa7.dmg, When I try to open it warning appeared says that the file may be damaged and opening it may damage system can/should I trash - and how best to clear up - concerned it might cause more oddness in the future.

Please access the volumes and files locally." Sometimes there will be 5 or 6 of these warnings to be cleared from the desktop. All my drives are mounted correctly (2 internal 1 external USB drive) and there are no other file servers set up on my network. My machine is 400MHz PowerPC G4 700 MB SDRam running 10.4.11.

I've had my macbook pro 13" mid 2009 running very slow after updating to 10.6.4. So I run the disk utility and after running it couple of times, some of the problems happened not to be repaired. I've run the disk utility now couple of times and I think that I've had those problems all the time. I am going to post the disk utility report below. I am a new mac user, since aug 2009 and I really do not know what are those:

My old iMac G4 (running OS 10.4) has been running sluggishly with sporadic freezes & "spinning pizzas" for several months. I launched Disk Utility which displayed the following message "SMART: failing". I attempted to restart the iMac but it would freeze immediately after the "gong". I was, however, able to restart from the install CD. I attempted to run Repair Permissions which froze. I ran Repair Disk which reported that "volume cannot be repaired because of an error". I restarted from the Disk Warrior CD. The hardware test indicated that "the built-in SMART indicated everything is normal".Is this all indicative of an internal drive that is behaving unpredictably & about to die?

It had b-tree node issues, but now Disk Warrior says "the directory cannot be rebuilt, original too severely damaged, error code 2156,-57. The volume wrapper is damaged and needs to be repaired." Disk Warrior doesn't seem to fix it, how I can get my data back?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Lately I've noticed that when I repair permissions, it's the same files that keep appearing the log of files being "repaired"... which leads me to believe they're not actually being repaired at all.
It's at the point where I can repair permissions once, generating a log of repaired files, and then if I repair permissions again immediately afterwards (whether I've closed and reopened Disk Utility in the mean time or not), the same exact list of files appears as being repaired.
Since a week or 3 my Imac is bleeping whenever the harddisk is put to work. Before this it was impossible to make a time machine copy, it would hang at a certain point. I recently did a disk utility scan which could not be finished (aborted by the system) as it was saying (translated from Dutch):
"Volume-information being checked Wrong amount of free blocks on this volume (Has to be 38684126 in stead of 38684119)The volume 'Macintosh HD' is damaged and need to be repaired.Error: this disk needs to be repaired. Restart system with another disk (like Mac OS X-installdisk) and use disk utility to repair this disk."
So I put the installdisk 1 in, but the Imac spits it out, refuses to start up in harddisk repair mode or any other mode at all. It just spits it out and starts as usual. Install disk 2 it doesnt spit out, but I can only open a read me file. Like said, the Imac works fine, except that it is guided by literaly hundreds of beeps in high and low, short and long. I feel like being at a supermarket having my items scanned. That is what it sounds like. It is quite vocal but annoying and seem to multiply every day. In the beginning it only did at start up just a few beeps, then it got more, and now it beeps also in sleep mode.
I cannot do a disk repair, also not with the latest OS X update (snowleopard, since Lion is not working on my 1GB drive). I do notice though that the difference in this error code is getting bigger, it used to be just one block difference, now it is 7.
Also I took the memory modules out yesterday and put them back in, as I heard this can also help get rid of the beeps. It did not solve anything at all.I can't find anything on this problem on internet, because all beep related topics are about the error codes for the RAM drives. These are not the same sounds. Another attempt was to install the cms program to avoid overheating fans. Also no improvement.

After the latest update of front row and itunes my mac started to go quite slow.
so i repaired the permissions and turned up loads of errors with those two and iphoto. anyway i thought it was all good, but it didnt get any faster. Every time i try to run repair permissions the same problems keep arising.
On one of our MacBook Pros (Late-2011), running the latest OS X 10.7.3, Disk Utility says the volume needs to be repaired. When I use Disk Utility from the Recovery HD, it says the volume appears to be OK. I verified by using fsck in single-user mode, and it found no problems either. Which do I believe? Is this a sign of a soon-to-fail hard drive?

My mac os x 10.5.8 has been acting very wierd. The other days after restarting it, it would not go past the apple/grey screen. Then i retried while holding (i believe commn, alt, p &R) and it worked. Howevere, my mac has been acting very badly/freezing. I just ran "verify disk" and got the message "first aid failed... the volume Macintosh needs to be repaired".
So sicne i figure i should back everything up on my time machine, i just got an error message from time machine saying that it has failed as well. i also do not have my mac osx install disk with me as i moved and it is overseas

when using OnyX or Disk First Aid, a message states to restart the computer, holding Command-R and to repair my disk.Every single time, the disk turns out to be OK.
Question 1: Is this a false reading, or is the disk actually being fixed by the Control-R combination?
Question 2: If it is NOT a false reading, since my programs don't crash and I always shut down properly, what could cause the errors?

My computer had a spinning wheel yesterday that would not go away, so I forced a shutdown (had done it before with no problems). However, now my computer goes straight to the diagnostic tool, and when I try to repair disk0s2, it cannot be repaired. I didn't have Time Machine automatically running, and my most recent backup is too old and I don't want to lose all of our pictures. is there any other way to recover files off of this disk?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy iMac was in the middle of burning a CD on Sunday and spat it out halfway through. Next it was spitting every disc out, including the OS disk at firmware. Anyway, Applecare confirmed the superdrive needed replaced. The machine is only just over a month old (but it is the old top end 3.06GHz model)! So, it went off for repair in perfect order, all packaged up in the original packaging. Based on the advice on others, I also took many photographs before I dropped it off at the repair place. When I picked up the machine today the back of it has been scratched in a number of places. The screen also has loads of dust/debris underneath the glass display.
