[QUOTE="dogmatagram, post: 558261, member: 44732"] Hi, I recently sold my iMac and bought a G5 powermac, subsequently I upgraded to Leopard. I did a clean install. The problem is that now when I try to repair permissions it just sits there with the bar 1/5 full and doesn't move right from the start. I've tried all of the obvious stuff like letting it sit(for over an hour) and restarting the computer but it just won't budge. It's not a huge problem because I haven't really been having trouble with any programs or anything but I don't want to run into trouble in the future and not be able to resolve it this way. I know there are other programs out there that will do the same thing, but I'd really rather just stick with disk utility. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you think it'll be resolved in an upcoming(soon I hope) update. Other than that I like Leopard. It's more responsive then I thought it would be(although I've never run 10.4 on this computer so I can't compare). Thanks a lot! edit: sorry the specs are: Power Mac G5 1.6 GHz SP 1.25 GB RAM [/QUOTE]
