![]() Repair Permission is only one part of the Apple Disk Utility. 4.0 itself, so using a third-party utility under such circumstances raises the same questions that using Apples Disk Utility would for the same purpose. Even where an OS would change (ie: 10.4.9 to 10.4.10), DiskWarrior is still v. I've always sworn by DiskWarrior for such tasks in the past (and still do), but some people have impressed upon me not to underestimate the capabilties of Apple's own utilities. Problem is that some things can't be fixed as long as the volume is mounted. There are caveats, and what you've pointed out about the Utility itself being updated is one of them. Running Disk Utility while started from the Mac OS X volume ensures that the changes made by software updates are preserved. When this occurs, the version of Disk Utility on the Mac OS X volume is updated to account for the new permissions. Mac OS X software updates may change permissions on some files to improve security. When possible, disk permissions should be repaired while started up from a Mac OS X volume (hard disk) that contains updated Mac OS X software, instead of a Mac OS X installation disc. > Should I start up from a Mac OS X install disc to repair disk permissions? This could be part of the answer (in a nutshell: correct permissions are stored in the installer package). i've been always wondering from where the disk utility takes the information which file should have which privileges. When doing OSX repair permissions/ disc utilities, boot from your computer's CD-ROMs to run it and not from the Utilities folder on the hard drive. Does a world of good when things misbehave. Hold down OPTION APPLE P R while booting. Zapping PRAM was something Mac users did regularly in OS9, but we've taken OSX a little for granted- thinking that certain routines were a thing of the past. General consideration for wonky behaviors: Make sure that you are giving your audio PCI card more than 1x bandwidth- when you choose a new setting, click Save and Restart. One other consideration for MacPro users:Ĭheck your System> Library Folder for Expansion Slot Utility IF you are using a PCI interface. In fact, shut down completely and do a cold boot (ie: a normal boot up) After installation, make sure you RESTART the computer in regular mode. Shut down and reboot in Safe mode (hold Shift key will booting)ģ. Remove all dongles and USB peripherals except for the keyboard and mouseĢ. ![]() (this advice comes from several software developers)ġ. I can't stress enough- Download the COMBO update and don't use automatic Software Update. ![]() I'm trying to force things to crash, but SO FAR 10.4.10 and VI Cube are working very nicely together- no problems on old projects or new projects.
