Hi,
Most ACL problems can simply be left alone. They are often registered as
errors but, in most cases, are immaterial to the smooth operation of your Mac.
Doing the Repair Permissions from the Recovery Partition may fix a few more
errors that weren't accessible while logged in as yourself, b
I'm pretty sure you need to do the repair from the recovery partition, and not
from the main OSX partition, in order to do a proper job of it.

When repairing permissions have you tried unchecking the show details check box?

Hello Carolyn,
When you repair permissions from the Disk utility in your Utilities folder,
there will always be certain items that cannot be repaired because they are in
use. Some people, therefore, use the Disk Utility from their installation disk,
which will do a more thorough job, but for mo

So, I'm curious, and maybe you can clarify something. When repairing
permissions the other day, I discovered a warning at the bottom of the results
table that said a certain system UI thing couldn't be repaired. It was
preceded by a warning. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Hello Christina,
After an update to the OS, it's normal to have vast numbers of permission
repairs. The next time you do it, there'll just b a few.
You can never get down to none when you run Disk Utility from the internal hard
drive, but maybe it's possible when Disk Utility is run from the in
Thanks all. After the process was complete I went through the results. I
never did finish arrowing through all the repairs. There were sooo many
that I gave up arrowing down. :) Yikes! Is it normal to have that many
repairs or did I just wait way too long?
Thanks again,
Christina

go into the finder, into applications>utilities. Open the 'disk
utility'. Find your hard drive in the table of disks. Move to the right
and select the first aid tab. Then navigate to the repair permissions
button. press that, wait for it to complete and all done.

Hello Joseph,
I'm afraid I've never used Windows so can't compare anything on the Mac to
Windows. However, repairing permissions helps everything to run more smoothly
so it's worth doing.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Christina,
I normally just repair permissions and don't bother with verifying permissions.
I also get to Disk Utility by pressing Command-Shift-U to get straight to the
Utilities folder, then the letters "dis" to go straight to Disk Utility. Having
opened the application, you have to inte
Oh, Ido I need to do both, verify permissions and repair permissions? I did
not know about verify permissions.

Hi Christina:
If you go to dis utilities (through applications), and first aid, you'll find
verify permissions and reapir permissions. The process is very accessible. I
don't pretend to understand the lingo, but I know both are a good idea whenever
one updates.

that's strange that never happens to me at all. I get the feeling your vo
settings might have gotten corrupted. Reset them back to the way you wanted and
then export your vo settings via the file menu under vo utility.
Good luck.

Thank you! I was looking in the apps folder, but didn't make the connection to
Utilities.

Hi,
As another note, when it says "Warning (insert a lot of stuff here) This has
been modified, and cannot be repaired". To quote what the Mac manual tells me,
"Don't worry about it". So I don't. :)

Hello Donna,
To repair permissions:
• Go to Utilities (Command-Shift-u);
• Select and open Disk Utility, typing "dis" will get you straight to it;
• Select your HD in the table;
• Select First Aid which is the first tab;
• Select Repair Disk Permissions.
It takes around ten minutes but you can ke
Hmm. I haven't repaired permissions since some time last summer. I've been
experiencing some pretty flaky behavior, so this post is making me think that
perhaps I should do it again. Can someone refresh me briefly on how to do this?
TIA,
Donna

Hello Lynn and all:
Hahaha. The challenge of lists like these you will get two answers
which are conflicting (smile).
Your question was ... is it necessary? No, it is not absolutely
necessary. Is it a good idea? If it limits the confusion that may
result from apps being open then by all m
No.

Hi Lynn,
I am not an expert, but I tend to close all applications when repairing
permissions except for VO, as I have no other way of knowing if the process has
finished. But perhaps I will and then give it around 10 minutes. Of course, it
will take longer if you don't do it often.
