Updating to iTunes 11.1 gave me a lot of disk permissions errors

I ran a Verify Disk Permissions before the installation of iTunes 11.1 and everything was clean, then I did one after installing iTunes 11.1 and I got a ton of errors. See below:

After running repair permissions several times, running from the boot drive or from an external booted, after uninstalling and doing a fresh install, nothing changed.

I also tried to repair the ACLs by booting from the Recovery partition and using resetpassword command.

I know it's not very important but I like to keep my system in perfect shape.

Come on Apple, after one single update, this is NOT SERIOUS!

As I posted in a similar discussion a couple of minutes ago, Well, let's see,, now that Mavericks is out, whether after your update we still see that mess in the Permissions area. I hunch is that you will still see it there. Anyone updating to Mavericks,, can you please report on this issue as a favour to this post thanks. I am waiting for perhaps a week to update.

Updating iTunes to 11.1.3 has not solved the issue for me. I'm still getting a long list of ".lproj" differences that won't repair…and I'm now also getting a "

Warning: SUID file 'System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent' has been modified and will not be repaired."


The warning I know is new because I check permissions monthly before a manual secondary backup. "Warning" sounds worse than "permissions differ," but at least Apple lists it is as ignorable (unlike the ".lproj" permission differences, as far as I've found in their online KBs).


@Substantiated, is your Mac running Mountain Lion or Mavericks? Perhaps that makes a difference (I've been waiting to update to 10.9). Thank you.

harmless these permissions may be but I too have them and cannot correct them with Itunes 11.1.3(8) and Maverick.


I also have frequent problems with Sonos not being able to access music library. Sonos's response is to correct the disk permissions and when they can't be they tell me to contact Apple!


There's a hole in my bucket............
