Jesus that's a lot of stuff - and it does it everytime. :eek:
 
Apple Support said:
Some messages that Disk Utility reports when checking permissions can be safely ignored. For example, you may safely ignore a message that contains "permissions are 33261". This document applies to Mac OS X 10.2.2 or later.

In Disk Utility (Mac OS X 10.2.2 through 10.2.8), you see the message: "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/hfs.fs/hfs.util.
New permissions are 33261"

In Disk Utility (Mac OS X 10.3.3 through 10.3.9, and 10.4 or later), you may see the message: "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
New permissions are 33261"

This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.

Disk Utility reports some messages that you can ignore when checking permissions ("33261")

BTW, you don't think you just a few too many widgets...? :rolleyes: ;)
 
Nothing of any importance. Apple Knowledge Base #107298 says:

"In Disk Utility (Mac OS X 10.3.3 through 10.3.9, and 10.4 or later), you may see the message: "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.

Basically is the same with your message.

Have a great day:)

And OK, great, what about 33060 and all the other ones?
Click to expand...
It's just warnings/information for you that "special permissions are used", nothing too different about 33060 and 33261 or whatever (;)), that's where the "for example" in the above mentioned article comes in, and if you read carefully you'll see that no permissions are actually changed... nothing to worry about... a bit annoying but not harmful in any way... :)

I just reformatted, so I havent downloaded ANY widgets....
Click to expand...

Indeedy - all those listed are the stock 10.4.1 widgets.

Gary - have you got a new HDD since you reformatted another couple of weeks back? That seems like too much for a fresh install. The again, maybe there's too much emphasis put on repair permissions these days.

Yeah, this is a brand-new HDD.

Yeah it's loads. I'm completely over widgets. Occasionally the dictionary one, and the Lost one was funny the time it woke my house up going beep-beep-beep...

Other than that I don't use 'em.

Gary> I'd just go with it as I can't imagine it'll cause too many probs. Maybe do as Mitth has done and disable all the ones you don't use (if not done already).

Also, I don't know if this is accurate, but I read that if you "verify" permissions first and then "repair" - it does something different to just verify and repair in one go. Is that right?

Not sure, but I was just wondering if this might have had something to do with all the issues I have been having lately. Guess not. *checks another possibility off the list*

I really do think I have a bum logic board.

Hopefully something else will happen (soon) that'll force Apple's hand for a replacement. I know how annoying repeated problems are though and until it stops it's just infuriating.

Keep at it and make sure you're backing up your data regularly is about the best advice I can offer. :eek:
 
It means your Mac found out what you did to its cousin, Mighty Mouse.
