update_prebinding woes

[Giaguara]

I was having suddenly some seriously screwed permissions ... e.g. iTunes did not want to open - telling me the iTunes was in a locked folder, so I guessed disk utility would do some good. I repaired the permissions, and then

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force

to which I get some really weird messages. I've tried to do it without force for a few times, now with force a few more times - and I never get rid of these messages.

Could someone be able to decipher them? What is the deal, and what should I do? Repair the permissions once more, or get the Diskwarrior?

Well, you can ignore the messages telling you prebinding can't be redone for....because larger updated load commands do not fit....

Those aren't going to cause any problems (but the programs aren't prebound anymore, either. They may take a small time longer to launch).

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiscRecording.framework/ doesn't exist in Panther anymore. Did you update rather than doing a clean install? Probably, you have the folder there still, with some symbolic links that don't point to anything anymore.

The only one that's going to cause you problems is the undefined symbols found in /Applications/Backup.app/Contents/Resources/CmpFileInfo. That's going to crash the next time it's run (though I have no idea how often Backup uses it, or if it maybe uses it on older system releases and not newer ones). You can try re-downloading it if you have any problems with it.

BTW, you don't really have to do update_prebinding. fix_prebinding runs every time you launch an app, and it'll fix the prebinding on it if it needs it...

DiscRecording ..? I did the _clean_ install of 10.3. Though - I use one script/ program that I compiled that could try to access that folder (script was made in 10.2).

Backupp.app - I never run it. I don't like it, it's dumb.. I want an option for elective backup, and that's not what apple's backup offers. Thus I could as well just keep manually backupping, or find a program that does what I want.

I tried recently www.listen-to.com .. so, making a script to iTunes to report the tracks I listen to (e.g. for using on the blog etc as the now listening to kind of trivia) - and since that I started having problems. Yesterday first that script app bounced like tigger on my dock - "can't connect to url" - Force quit did nothing to the application but just made iTunes not responding .. force quitting it, iTunes told me it was in a locked folder so I had to fix it with repair permissions... that was the before I ran all those fixes. iTunes worked after though.

Today I tried the listen-to.com plug again .. and again the same thing. Script bounced "can't connect to.." > I force quit, nothing .. iTunes does not respond again > force quit .. and it does not launch again for the reason of being in a locked folder. Again repair permissions saved it, buuut ... has anyone else used the listen-to.com itunes plug with 10.3? Does it work for you? I suspect my woes somehow were caused by it - at least it screwed the iTunes permissions twice. I had never seen iTunes on a "locked folder" before.
