Possibly a more important question is what caused you to need to repair the permissions?

Jan 2, 2015 7:57 AM in response to Mike Sombrioby geturdone,Mike, thanks for turning me onto that Apple Support article. My aging MacBook has been a good computer. Recently it has had a few problems which required me to erase and restore everything. I suppose I'm trying to treat it gently by doing more frequent maintenance on the disk health. I thought doing an occasional repair permissions was in keeping with a more active preventative maintenance attitude. This way of thinking may be completely wrong on my part. If you could suggest other ways to promote healthy MacBook aging I'm all ears. I think I know one way is to try to use only up to 75% of it's memory capacity, but currently I'm at about 90%.
