Q: OS 10.7.5 W' permissions repair problems. How to fix it?

Hi Mike,

What exact problems please?

Please carefully read Apple's Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore

Yeah, as long as it sats Repairs completed, you can ugnore messages reapeated if run again.

Great to hear, thanks Mike, & good luck!

Your welcome and Happy Thankgiving to you and yours.

Something doesn’t sound right.  The messages shouldn’t be ignored if you restart the Disk Utility app and the same permission errors show up.  I’ve even rebooted the OS and found the same errors.  I also mistrust the file check function (vs Drive Genius reports).  

None of this ever happened until the last patch 10.7.5 (11G63).

Nope you are wrong, please carefully the link I supplied in my November 21st post.

Thank You rkaufmann87. I’ve seen the list and am grateful to learn that the OS will continue to recognize files Disk Utility finds with improper permissions.  It is disconcerting though, that file system errors are now OK and can be ignored. That is a very slippery slope. Maybe I’m just used to using Sun and SG OS’s for so long.
