No probs installing 8.2.1/PROBS OH YEAH! - siimba55

Hello
This is really about the use and after effects. I have installed 8x under 10.5.6 and 10.5.7. Under 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 I get a daily need to run permissions repair and the list is long enough to reach the next town if I strung them end to end. Every single day!

Under 10.5.7 it's even worse! I had to reformat and reinstall from scratch. Took four tries to reformat and reinstall. Finally after five days of this. I reinstalled 10.5.6 and the older versions of QuickTime and iTunes.[7.4.2]

Even installed a new drive installed all OS etc from scratch with the same results. Problems only occur when using iTunes V8x or QuickTime above 7x. TIt is the worst with iTunes.

Using any version of 8x results in the repair permissions after every boot up and use of iTunes.

Any ideas?

VT isn't a support site - sjk

I suggest trying Apple Discussions or some other support-centric forum/site. VT is a review/commentary-centric site.

There is no point talking up Apples site as thats were any real mac user already looks.
Permissions status are only stored in a single file in OSX this is what files are checked with .
APPLE.com won't update this file evey time a core Apple app updates so Permissions will be wrong untill a security update is done by Apple after all the apps have been updated per their time schedule.
Aliases and other files moved will then be updated in that file and disk utillity and third party apps will then clear the new files permissions when checked. This has been explained over and over .

OK
I'll remember that it has been explained many times. First time I ever heard that.. Don't go to many sites. Apple Discussions have never been much help. So I end up figuring "it" out myself eventually.

Thanks and so lon! .
