Repair Permissions in Disk Utility prior to OS X 10.11 El Capitan - Reset Home Folder Permissions in Terminal

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Michael and any member interested in this subject,

Michael’s previous questions to the list under the Subject: Re: the spinning 
beach ball has changed!

> "Going by how often running "repair permissions" seemed to work for me, does 
> this mean (a) I was deluded (b) Apple has sorted something out that had 
> lingered for a long time or (c) software updates are going to be released

To answer your question, I’ll need to explain to you what “Repair Permissions” 
using Disk Utility in OS X prior to El Capitan repaired. 
Hopefully below will help answer your previous questions.

Repair Permissions in Disk Utility - Reset Home Folder Permissions in Terminal  

Part A of my Reply:
Repair Permissions in Disk Utility in OS X prior to El Capitan 

In OS X, each file contains information specifying which users (or parts of the 
system) can read it, modify it, or execute it. 
This information is collectively known as permissions. If a file has incorrect 
permissions, it can cause apps to misbehave in various ways, such as crashing 
or failing to launch.

Ordinarily, installers set the correct permissions for the files they install, 
and the permissions stay that way permanently. However, a poorly written 
installer can mess up permissions — even for files it did not install — and if 
you use Unix commands such as chown and chmod, you can accidentally set files’ 
permissions incorrectly. 
These sorts of problems occur infrequently, but they do occur.

The Repair Permissions feature looks for certain software installed using 
Apple’s installer, which saves files called receipts that list the locations 
and initial permissions of all the files in a given package. Repair Permissions 
compares the current permissions to those in the receipts and, if it finds any 
differences, changes the files back. 
The command ignores software installed in other ways (using a different 
installer or drag-and-drop installation, for instance) and knows nothing about 
permission changes you may have made deliberately.

Permissions don’t go out of whack all by themselves; you (or software you 
install) must do something to change them. 

Are all files affected by Repair Disk Permissions?

No. As you may have inferred from the above description, only those files 
installed using OS X’s Installer utility and whose installation packages leave 
behind a proper receipt in /Library/Receipts are affected by the Repair Disk 
Permissions function. 

This means that most of the files affected by the Repair Disk Permissions 
function are system-level files, application files, or system add-ons—not 
applications installed by drag-and-drop, and not your documents or other 
user-level files.
Repairing permissions is mainly a tool for fixing 'permissions-related' 
problems with OS-level Apple software .
But beyond that, only certain receipts are referenced, all of them associated 
with OS-X-related software.

Although some might argue that restricting the Repair Disk Permissions function 
to Apple-installed software is a limitation, it’s also good security. If 
third-party receipts were used as references when repairing permissions, a 
piece of malware could leave behind a receipt designed to maliciously change 
permissions on system-level files—for example, to assign more-accessible 
permissions on normally secure files and directories. This could be a major 
security risk.

But starting in OS X 10.11 El Capitan, the Repair Permissions feature is gone 
from Disk Utility entirely.
Beginning with OS X El Capitan, system file permissions are automatically 
protected. 
It's no longer necessary to verify or repair permissions with Disk Utility.
 Instead, permissions are repaired automatically when you install software 
using Apple’s installer.
—
Part B of my Reply:
Does repairing permissions affect third-party application files?

Apple’s description of the Repair Disk Permissions function seems to imply that 
any software, including third-party software, installed using Installer and 
accompanied by a receipt in /Library/Receipts is affected by repairing 
permissions. 
However, we know from my previous reply above that this isn’t the case. The 
only third-party software affected by repairing permissions is software 
included with Mac OS X and installed by the Mac OS X Installer.

Reset Home Folder Permissions in Terminal

Disk Utility only checks a limited subset of files, and it won’t repair 
anything within your Home folder. There is a slightly more convoluted way to 
fix permissions issues there.
Why might you want to do this, you ask? The most common scenario is that 
something’s gone wonky with files or folders in your Home folder; you try to 
save something to your Desktop, say, and your Mac tells you that you don’t have 
permission to do so.

Good morning all,

Have installed 10.11
We are always told to repair permissions before and after. Have done it before
but the new disk utility screen does not show the repair permissions option any 
more ???

This from the Parallels forum:


rtom157 said: ↑ 

So are you confirming that Parallels 10 will stop working as soon as I upgrade 
to El Capitan? Please can you make clear exactly what will happen on upgrade to 
El Capitan because the process is not easily reversible. As I wrote, I intend 
to stop using Parallels but need some time to convert data from my last Windows 
program (Microsoft Money) to a Mac program. Once that is done, I will have no 
further need of Parallels.
Hi, if you would like to use the Parallels Desktop 10 you can continue to use 
it. The 11 version is fully compatible with the El Capitan, like the 10 version 
is fully compatible with Yosemite, but it doesn't mean that you will not be 
able to use your Parallels Desktop 10 with El Capitan host OS

Thanks Peter,  I note that they hedge their bets a bit by not saying 10 is 
fully compatible just that you can continue to use it.

Hi Barry,

El Capitan is still in Beta, and Parallels Desktop 10 has been reported to 
having issues.
Virtual Machine not recognizing USB devices, Boot Camp based virtual machine 
can't start...
You probably will not know until Apple release the final Beta version for 
developer testing, and then the Release of El Capitan 10.11 to the public.
Keep an eye on Parallels Desktop for Mac support and their Forums.

As a happy user of Parallels since its inception, I can thoroughly recommend 
version 11, if for no other reason than the ease with which I was able to 
“upgrade" my Windows 7 VM to Windows 10. Parallels itself provides a menu 
option to do this, which makes the whole process almost seamless and completely 
painless. A Fusion-using colleague has not been quite so fortunate. Fusion does 
not offer the same service so the Windows 10 upgrade had to be done through 
Windows itself, a far more complicated and confusing procedure.

I couldn’t stand Windows 8. Windows 10 seems to have restore at least some 
sanity, although I must say it looks as though they’ve spend more time than 
usual studying Mac OS X!

Hi Ronni and All, 

Many thanks for this vital information. I purchased Parallels 10 a week or so 
before v 11 came out and the Parallels team offered me an upgrade to the new 
version. I run Windows 10 without any problems and am waiting patiently for El 
Capital to see how it performs. 

I also use VM Ware Fusion, which I have been using for many years now, and was 
encountering some network problems which I incorrectly blamed on Fusion. I 
purchased Parallels only to find the problem had nothing to do with both 
virtualisation applications. I have since resolved this issue but  now find 
myself with two virtualisation applications … and both work as well as each 
other!!

Incidentally I use Windows for only one application called Nimegue which is 
totally free and kept up to date regularly. I now realise that it does cost 
money to run ‘free’ software!!

Best regards,

Philippe Chaperon
