OS X :: Repairing Permissions And ARDAgent/fixing Permissions
Oct 26, 2007I 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?
OS X :: Repair Permissions Isn't Repairing Permissions
Mar 29, 2009Using 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?
OS X :: Can Repairing Permissions Cause Trouble?
Nov 20, 2010I have a an old G4 running Mac 10.3.5 that I need to update to 10.3.9 to run a program. The machine has a long boot time so I'm worried it might die soon.
Anyways I am wondering if I should click "repair permissions" and/or "verify permissions" before I do the 10.3.9 combo update. Will this increase the chances that the 10.3.9 update will not cause problems? Or can repairing permissions itself cause trouble?
I have never repaired or verified permissions on this machine.
OS X V10.5 Leopard :: DU Not Repairing Permissions
May 17, 2012I have a 1.8Ghz G5 (2.5Gb RAM) PowerMac here, running Leopard 10.5.8, which is used as a file server. The drives aren't RAIDed or anything. I am going to add a 2nd internal drive to it, and as a maintenance I decided to repair pemrissions before shutting it down.However, when I ran Disk Utility, I found that I cound't repair permissions at all. I could select the drive, click the botton, and the progression bar would go to the 'striped barber pole' effect that comes up as it is preparing to do something, but then it just stays there. I can cancel it, but no repairs happen.Any ideas how to get this to work or should I just use a 3rd party solution like Leopard Cache Cleaner? I'm not sure whether other software would just come up against the same issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Constant Repairing Of Permissions Is Normal?
Mar 21, 2009Ok, so I go to repair permissions and I get these files repaired. So, 10 minutes later I did repair permissions again (I had a hunch), and the same EXACT files get repaired.
And this happens everytime. I don't even do anything in between the repairs (I don't launch new apps or even move my mouse).
Is this normal because I never had this happen before on my Mac?
OS X :: Repairing Permissions - Same Files Being Repaired Over And Over?
Apr 1, 2009Lately 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.
OS X :: Repairing Permissions For HD Using Disk Utility
Dec 16, 2009I'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:
Code:

OS X :: Repairing Permissions - Why Doesn't Do It Automatically?
Mar 30, 2010To repair permissions I just click a little "Repair Permissions" button. Don't know why nor what it actually does, but I understand that I should do it from time to time.
But if it's so important, why doesn't OS X just do it automatically?
MacBook Pro :: Why Does It Keep Repairing The Same Disc Permissions
May 17, 2012I am trying to figure out why my early 2008 macbook pro is lagging. I tried to repair disc permissions but it always repairs the same ones. The other thought I had was that the video card may be on its way out, but not sure how to check that.

OS X :: Very Slow Internet After Repairing Disk Permissions?
Nov 16, 2008After reading on the internet that you should repair disk permissions around once a month or something I decided to do it after not doing it for ages, so I go and do it, then shut it off and leave it for a bit, and then when I turn it on I open Safari and I notice that its taking a really long time to load Apple's Start Page, so I think nothing of it and turn it off again, then a bit later I turn on and I find the internet on it still just as slow.
So I am wondering if its cause I did it or because of my router.
OS X :: Repairing Permissions Taking Long Time?

Software :: Finder Quits After Repairing Permissions?
Jun 10, 2008I recently ran Disk Utility on my MacBook (OS 10.4.11), and it said the node structure was invalid. The next day, I repaired the disk with DiskWarrior (I didn't have an OS X disk around, so I couldn't use Disk Utility).
However! Before I tried using DiskWarrior, I repaired permissions in Disk Utility, figuring that it was good routine maintenance. Disk Utility changed some permissions, and ever since, the Finder immediately quits and restarts when I navigate to certain folders. The "bad folders" seem to vary with no apparent cause: for a while it only cared about a certain folder inside my home folder, but now it's started to quit whenever I navigate to my home folder (which means I can't use Command-N, though I can make new windows by clicking on the hard drive's desktop icon). Occasionally it lets me go to my home folder for no apparent reason, and sometimes I can get to otherwise "bad" folders by clicking on my shortcuts on the leftmost panel of the finder window (though not always). In short, it's not very consistent, and changes over time. It's still doing this even after repairing the disk, zapping PRAM, and trying fsck (which said the disk was OK). Both Disk Utility and DiskWarrior think my permissions are fine.
OS X :: Occasional Freeze & Repair Disk Permissions Not Repairing?
Nov 10, 2009I 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?

OS X :: Pram Resetting Create Effect On Repairing Permissions?
Aug 3, 2010What does everyone mean when they say this?

Basically, all the general information about it.. I've been reading people's problems and I see this all the time, and I'm totally confused on what it.
Also, what is PRAM? What does resetting it do?
MacBook Pro :: Repairing Disk Permissions Takes More Than A Half Hour?
Nov 18, 2010I am running snow leopard, have 8 GB RAM and 320GB hard drive
I've had the computer 5 months, and today randomly decided to "repair disk permissions" on disk utility.
Estimated time remaining is 32 mins. So far there is already a huge list of details, mostly things that are supposed to be set at 95 or 1 but are set to 0 (not sure what this means).
Is it supposed to take this long? What exactly is it fixing, and how did these problems arise from simple regular use? Will I notice a difference in my computer's speed afterwords?
OS X V10.7 Lion :: Repairing Disk Permissions From Single User Mode

OS X Yosemite :: 10.10.1 - Can't Browse Some Older Backups Via Time Machine Interface
Dec 2, 2014Problem started after updating to Yosemite. I am running 10.10.1. I can find all my backups, going back to 2010 in fact, when browsing my external FW800 hard drive directly in the Finder. But if I click the menubar icon and choose "Enter Time Machine," I can see some recent backups for some folders, but I cannot access some older backups that I know are there on that same drive. The window title bars in the TM interface are totally grayed out for those older backups. But again, there are all on the same FW800 external HD, and I can search them just fine and extract the files just fine using the Finder. Â
Is the Time Machine interface totally broken in Yosemite? Â
Clearly there is nothing wrong with my external FW800 HD, otherwise I wouldn't be able to manually browse and extract files via the Finder. And yes, it makes regular TM backups every day too. It's only the "Enter Time Machine" UI that is partly broken. I say "partly" because some backups (very recent) display, but I cannot access all the backups. It's very strange.Â

OS X Yosemite :: Corrupt Disk Is Not Repairing With Disk Utility
Dec 4, 2014Disk Utility when I run verify says I need to reboot from the Repair Disk. I tried (twice) and it shows no problems. When I reboot normally, and run DU, I get the same error. Which result should I believe?? And is there a workaround? Using 10.10.1 / Air late 2011.
