This software repairs the permissions of Disk Utility, ensuring they function correctly.
If you're an OS X Jaguar user, you may experience a rather ironic permissions issue where the Disk Utility application's permissions become corrupt. This can make it impossible to access the "Repair Permissions" tab, preventing you from repairing your disk's permissions as well as those of the Disk Utility application itself.
Thankfully, the Repair Disk Utility's Permissions software offers a solution to this problem. Without it, you may encounter error messages such as "Operation not permitted," which will appear in the progress window in the event of a corruption issue. These messages may read as follows:
- User differs on ./Applications, should be 0, owner is 501
- Group differs on ./Applications, should be 80, group is 99
- Owner and group not corrected on ./Applications, reason Operation not permitted
- Permissions not corrected on ./Applications, reason Operation not permitted
This software's latest version comes with a handful of improvements. For instance, the software has been rewritten as a Cocoa program with a cleaner interface, making it more user-friendly than previous versions. You'll also find a useful workaround that addresses an AppleScript bug causing password-less users to have trouble executing the "do shell script" repair procedure successfully.
