Can Anyone tell me how I can get permission of the affected disk with diskutil????
I'm looking on the internet for almost 4 hours now, and I still can't find anything, so please someone help me?
 
Do you intend to something with permissions other than repair them? I'm not sure I understand your question/ motivation.
 
Well, I've got a problem with my mac, and I need to repairPermissions, it only doesn't want to give me that repair unless I have "ownership over the affected disk"
 
I think there's this problem with iTunes 6.0.2 ... You have to temporarily remove iTunes 6.0.2 from /Applications and delete the receipt "iTunesX.pkg" of its package in /Library/Receipts ...
 
I can not even get into the graphical user interface, btw, everything has to be done "Commandprompt" wise and btw, I can't even boot up from my install disc which totally is weird. so does anyone else have a suggestion? I'd be glad to hear ANYTHING that comes into your head, cause I'm really desperate
 
I've never heard of a permissions error causing a Mac to not boot. You may have a larger problem with your system.

Try running fsck (instructions found here)
 
Thank you it worked, but do you also know how to like get my .Mac working again? cause I don't get a menu at all to choose from if I want to go to the "darwin terminal" or to the normal Mac OSX as how we all know it how can I change that it won't go to the terminal and will only go to the normal Mac OS X?

Well I'm not sure if it's a permission error, since I don't know anything about troubleshooting, I'll explain the problem

2 days ago, I had my Mac in screensaving mode, so I wanted to go back to work, and I had to login normal so I did, and it takes me to the black screen and says:
Welcome to Darwin!

localhost:user$

and since then I can not get into the normal Mac OS
