Cannot Repair Permissions!!!!!!!!!
I keep getting the error that the underlying task reported failure on exit. I have used Disc Warrior and it says all is well but this bothers me. Can anyone help me as this might be the reason I cannot upgrade the Leopard graphics patch that just came out.
Thanks!!!

Did you run Disk Warrior 3 by any chance? Hope not…
Alsop says that you need Disk Warior 4 for Leopard.

Patrick,
I started at a new place this week with a MacPro 2.66 running Leopard, and I began noticing some buggy behavior in FCP and in the OS in general, sometimes folders in the archives would not show without a restart, etc. so I tried repairing permissions and got the exact same error.
Tried booting from the install disk and repairing permissions and got the same error, upon calling AppleCare they said time for a complete re-install of the whole system, so I did a backup today and I’m going to do a complete re-install this weekend. Thank god it’s raining, would rather be playing golf!
I will report back on Monday, remember, clone your disc before you do anything drastic.
Have a wonderful day.

Can you guys do me a favor?
Open the disk utility, select your boot drive and on the bottom of the window in the right corner, tell me what it says for “Partition Scheme”.
Just checking something.

It says Guid Partition Scheme

Please let me know how that works as I have backed up using Time Machine but I have never used it to bring back my system. I hope it all goes well for you. Cannot golf in Michigan for a 3-4 months anyway.
Thanks!!!

Alright. That’s all good. Have you tried putting in the Leopard boot disk, starting from it (hold c when you restart) and repairing permissions form the disc utility there? Don’t know if that’s even possible from Leopard, but I bet it is.

I did that and all seemed to be good on that end, but when I got back to the boot drive nothing had changed.

Can you tell me the steps to restore my computer using Time Machine? Do I just reinstall the OS and then hit restore in Time Machine?
Thanks!!!

Don’t know how to use time machine. I don’t think you reinstall the os though.
