[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1630380, member: 110816"] OS X uses a Unix permission scheme where files are owned by certain accounts, some are system, others are users. Additionally, files have specific flags indicating if they are accessible by everyone or only by a privileged few. As time goes on and you install a bunch of apps, these permissions (especially on system files) get messed up. In a lot of cases, these changes are usually fine and don't interfere with your system use, but eventually you'll have issues. When you have those issues, you run the Verify/Repair disk permissions combo to get back to a good state. The Verify and Repair disk check the integrity of your HDD and fix issues. This needs to be run even less frequently than the permissions one..:) [/QUOTE]
