Since last summer we know that the new version of OS X El Capitan does not add the option to repair permissions from Disk utility And this is something that even though Apple says that it is not necessary to do it, I got used to it and it is difficult for me to resist when something does not just go well on the Mac ... What Apple says is: the system file permissions are automatically protected and it is no longer necessary to check or repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
It is important to note that yes Apple itself says that it is not necessary to perform this repair and verification of the disks other than when updating to the new OS X that runs automatically, because we believe it and we do not doubt it, but if you are one of those who are used to it to carry out this task from time to time since you "tinker" a lot with the Mac and others, today we are going to see how to carry out this "new kind of reappearance of permissions" using the First Aid option that we also find in Disk Utilities knowing that there is another that is carried out from Terminal.
Well, let's go to the mess since it is simpler than we think. The first thing is open Disk Utilities and click on the disk we want to repair:
Once we are on the disk it is only necessary to click on the option First aid:
The process will be executed and will even show the details of this First Help if we click on the lower tab, we accept and ready:
Actually, it is a simple process that surely suits us all, but obviously many users want to carry out a repair and verification of discs more in the style of OS X Yosemite and previous Mac operating systems, for this it is necessary to resort to Terminal and we will publish it shortly.
I believe that removing things from the utility disk has been and step backwards.
My macbook pro is from 2011 but even when formatting it, it always appears when I want to open an application, and I even updated the "Captain" I supported and the whole process shalalá and even so, I repeat…. that little circle of colors always keeps coming out ……… .. I've already lost hope lol. Do you know any solution besides throwing it away? XD
Well, I updated my iMac from 27 at the end of 2010 to El Capitan and the DVD does not work ... that is, I cannot install Parallels as I have an original copy of Win 7 (since I do not need Win 10 and I think I could not install). With the permissions, I would have solved it myself but this from the first help I don't know that this executable is going to look at my programs and it is going to remove some of them ... I don't like this system a bit.
I updated a sierra update this morning and it won't let me copy or paste on my external disk os plus I am desperate I have done the first help but it is useless I need help
