[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1362749, member: 182015"] What permissions repair looks at: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452]About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature[/url] Permissions Repair is not perfect - see what you can ignore: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448]Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore[/url] Bottom line - go ahead and repair permissions, then ignore its output. PS- On the other hand, repairing the directory structure - verify and repair the hard drive (fixes pointers to all the pieces of files on the drive) is disk maintenance that works.
