Verify and Disk Utility. When?

[diegobgr]

Hi.

I've read that you should verify permissions after install an update. It's true?

I have installed the combo update (10.6.5 + 10.6.6).

I only carryout a permissions repair when I start to see problems. Are you experiencing any?

 

[diegobgr]

No, 0 problems.

Then don't worry about Disk Utility. It's only there when a problem occurs.

No, 0 problems.

If that's the case then I wouldn't bother.

This is a myth.

I've had my current Mac for almost 3 years. I've never found a need to verify or repair permissions.

Is there any problem if I repair them?

I have run Onyx, and it have repaired them.

It's not a problem if you run a Permissions Repair, but if it's not needed then it really is pointless.
