System file not repaired???
Ref. iMac Intel Core i3 3,06GHz OS 10.6.8 While repairing permission? files with Disk Utility (Tool?) I got the following message (I decide to use Disk Utility because of problems accessing some Web sites in Safari...) ATTENTION : le fichier SUID « System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent » a été modifié et ne sera pas réparé. Which means grosso modo Oups the file SUID Syst... has been modified and will not be repaired. Now what is this System file doing and why did Disk Utility not repaired it? Tried OnyX with same result... Now bis, how can I repaired it? I do not want to give bad reputation to anyone, but this iMac was rock solid until recently I installed Sophos anti virus. From this moment I notice a lot of hard drive action in the background due to Sophos av (I know this from looking at Sophos Icon in the menu bar). Anyone has more info to shed some light on this... It is with some redness in my face that I have to say that I installed Sophos AV without any virus problems on my iMac. It is a perfect example of a solution being worst than the problem?

I got the following message ATTENTION : le fichier SUID « System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent » a été modifié et ne sera pas réparé. Ignore that message. It's one of very annoying wrong-error error messages that the Repair Permissions feature gives. Apple has known about this problem for a long time and never bothered to fix it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448 (I decide to use Disk Utility because of problems accessing some Web sites in Safari...) You've reached for the wrong tool. This is the equivalent of cleaning the seats inside your car because there are potholes on the road outside. If you could describe in more detail the actual problem with Safari, perhaps we could help. Of course, the first thing to try is to clear Safari's caches. this iMac was rock solid until recently I installed Sophos anti virus. From this moment I notice a lot of hard drive action in the background due to Sophos av (I know this from looking at Sophos Icon in the menu bar). Anyone has more info to shed some light on this... By default most AV softwares seem to check too much, I think. That initial long scan is probably what you're seeing. Tell it to stop. Then tell it to just watch your Download and Mail folders (specific places where an incoming file will land). It is with some redness in my face that I have to say that I installed Sophos AV without any virus problems on my iMac. That's ok. Malware *is* becoming an issue for us. It's time. Best to be prepared. We recommend either Sophos or ClamXav.

Re: Ethernet printing via Airport Express?
Turns out Verizon's network cannot be extended according to he popup. So that takes care of that. C'est la guerre. But I have just realized I don't even need the wireless piece, I can just run the cable up through the floor and into VZ's router. Sheesh. Duh, Spencer. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
