How to remove/repair ARDAgent.com?: Apple Support Communities

This is an error that you can ignore. There always seems to be some in every version with Repair Disk Permissions.

Ignore it. It will crop up every time you repair permissions.

As far as I can work out, an update has moved a component of that system function (Apple Remote Desktop) but Disk Utility isn’t aware of that.It reads the original package, can’t find all the bits and throws up an error.

It’ll eventually get fixed in a subsequent update (no doubt followed by a bunch of new error messages!)

Do you get error code 0×80020022 when burning DVD/CD’s on your Mac?

I get \. Join the club. This is an issue for many people. Once when I worked at a mac design shop, no macs could successfully burn a DVD. It is pathetic. I ended up buying an external DVD burner for $150 that worked great. This has been an issue since 2005. Apple says try different disks from different manufacturers. Cheaper in the long run to just by an external drive that will burn all media.

Time Machine wont start up when clicked on in dock

Pondini solves the issue. Other common Time Machine issues can be found here.

That’s quite strange.

There must be something damaged in your installation of OSX. I’d suggest downloading and installing the 10.6.6 “combo” update. That’s the cleverly-named combination of all the updates to Snow Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that’s gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal “point” updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349 Be sure to do a Repair Permissions via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

If that doesn’t help, reinstall OSX from your Snow Leopard Install disc (that won’t affect anything else), then apply the “combo” again.

Did you know that Time Machine works great with many third party NAS?

Insecure Startup Items Folder Detected. Items in the startup items folder (“/library/startupitems/”) have not been started because the folder does not have the proper security settings.

ryan42 has the solution.

I would try repairing permissions on your drive. Go to the Utilities folder (inside Applications) and launch Disk Utility. Select your boot hard drive and click the Repair Permissions button and restart.
