I have repaired permissions three times with a restart between each repair. Am I to asume they have been repaired or is there still 45 or so things still wrong?
Mac Pro 3.33 GHz 6 core, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Dual 30" HD Cinema Displays
Everything's repaired which is going to be; the rest of the messages are either statuses or updated OS components.

If your permissions have been repaired, it will say at the bottom,"permissions have been repaired". There will almost be some permissions that will ned repair, that does not mean there is a problem. Using the same procedure>Go utilities>disk utilities>select your user disk (usually Mac HD), highlight that, then click verify disk, if there are errors there they will be displayed at the end. If repair disk is not grayed out click that, if it is you will need to use the install disk, and select repair disk. ATB
10.4.11 would repair permissions and then on a repeat veryify permissions they did not show up again, the list was empty. That's what I understand. When repaired they don't relist over and over and over as needing repair. In my mind either the veryify permissions really doesn't verify or the repair really doesn't repair in Snow Leopard. 10.5 did this also. I quess in really is one of those Infinit Loops.
Haydude, Maybe you ight want to take your machine in for an examination?????
Thank you for your advice. I may just do that! Happy New Year!
Try updateding to 10.6.8, they have fixed lots of stuff.
Nothing is wrong; the messages are information only and result from updates that weren't communicated to Disk Utility's permissions database.

As long as the bottom line says 'permissions repair completed' all is well.
Ditto and 10.4 for Permissions is nothing like 10.6.
Thank you very much! I now understand a little more!
repair permissions still needs repair
