Hi,
I did a search for this problem and only found one question with no answers so here goes. I have an iMac 27" running OS-x Snow leopard and it has been working great for almost a year. A couple days ago I noticed that it would take a couple attempts to get Pages to open. But, after doing a forced quit and then a retry, Pages would finally open. Yesterday I could not get pages to open at all. I tried Numbers and it wouldn't load either. But, Safari, Garage Band, Adobe Photoshop, Mail and all other programs all opened fine. I went into Disk Utility and did that "Repair Disk Permission" thing. It did find a lot of errors and fixed them. I tried Pages again and it still would not load. I shut down the machine and restarted it and still, pages didn't load. Finally I did the repair Disk Permission procedure again and when completed, I shut the machine down and restarted it. Now I am able to load Pages and Numbers. Is this a common problem? Can the disk permission issue cause these programs to not load or hang up? If so, how often should one run the repair disk permissions? I have run it three times in 10 months because I read that it was a good thing to do. What can cause all these disk permission errors? I'm just wondering if what I did is a normal fix for this type of issue?
