Disk utility is crashing when trying to create a new image

Seriously need some help if anyone has an idea of why disk utility is crashing while trying to create a disk image. I'm not finding any other info on this issue.
My HD is failing and being replaced tomorrow and I'm desperately trying to create disk images of both my mac HD and of bootcamp for the new drive being installed.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be truly appreciated.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I do have Carbon Copy Cloner, but if disk utility isn't working, getting it to restore is going to be an issue, though haven't attempted a restore since the HD has to be replaced.
CCC also doesn't clone bootcamp either unfortunately.
Currently running "verify permissions" using Disk Utility and so far so good, it hasn't crashed, it seems to be an issue related to imaging with disk utility.
Then I am going to attempt using the install disk to see if I can get disk utility again and try imaging Bootcamp again too.

    Bridge version 4.*.*, Windows 8.
    Was working perfectly for months then tonight decided to crash when I try to create a new subdirectory.
    When I try to create the subdirectory it closes and I get a window telling me Windows is trying to find a solution.
    What is the issue have how do I get a remedy.
    I thought OK, the application got corrupted, so I will download and install a new version of bridge.
    That seems to not be possible as there is no Bridge for CS5 download on the download menu.
    What is the solution?  Thanks.

  • Error when trying to create a new Voyager Workspace through Infoview

    Hi,
    When trying to create a new Voyager Workspace through Infoview, I get the following Error
    "An Error hs occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP server.Failed to initialize(The following component Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Anaysis Services 2005 returned server error(An error was encountered in the transport layer;the peer prematurely closed the connection"
    I clicked on New Voyager Workspace & then it displays the list of connections available. When, I click on any connection , then I receive thefollowing error
    "An Error hs occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP server.Failed to initialize(The following component Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Anaysis Services 2005 returned server error(An error was encountered in the transport layer;the peer prematurely closed the connection"
    An Insight of our environment regarding this, we have an clustered environment with Voyager Installed. Platform is Windows Server 2003. We have all the required Microsoft client tools installed on the Production Servers.
    This was working fine earlier. We were able to create Voyager WorkSpace at one instance of time. The problem at that point of time was the MDAS Server was not showing up in CMC, i.e as we had clustered environment, only one of the MDAS Server was showing up in the CMC. it was missing the other MDAS Server. but, at that time we were able to create Voyager Workspace.
    So, in order to view the other MDAS Server in CMC, we had changed the name of the Server in CCM for both the MDAS Servers.
    In detail, Server A.MDAS Server & Server B.MDAS Server- they both were not showing up in CMC. only one of them was showing up in Servers list in CMC.
    So, in CCM we had changed the name of Server1.MDAS server to be Server1 &
    for Server2.MDAS Server to be Server1 as well.
    AFter this both the MDAS Servers were showing uo in CMC.
    but, when I login into Infoview & click on new Voyagerworkspace & select a connection, I recieve the follwoing error
    "An Error hs occured while attempting to connect to the OLAP server.Failed to initialize(The following component Microsoft OLEDB Provider for Anaysis Services 2005 returned server error(An error was encountered in the transport layer;the peer prematurely closed the connection"
    Request to let me know the possible steps in resolving this ASAP

    Hi,
    Try to create the objects again and take the screenshot of SU53 when you get the error and see the authorization object for which you are getting the error here.
    It is possible that you dont have development authorization.
    Also the issue could be that the system is not configured to create the objects begining with Z.
    Check this with basis as well.
    Thanks

  • Error "The formula cannot refer to another column..." when trying to create a new subsite

    Hi All,
    I've been running into this error message when trying to create a new subsite
    Sorry, something went wrong
    The formula cannot refer to another column.  Check the formula for spelling mistakes or update the formula to reference only this column.
    Note everything was working fine before, this just started happening recently...
    At first I thought it was because of my template, but as I have tried, I can't even create subsite using the templates provided by Sharepoint...
    has anybody encountered similar problems recently?
    Any help is apprieciated!
    Fan Yang

    Hi Fan,
    If you create asubsite using the SharePoint default template, what error did you meet? Was it same with the error?
    Which site template did you use for the parent site?
    Please check whether you can create subsite at other site collection.
    In addition, please trace the exact error by using Correlation ID.
    Here are two great blogs for you to take a look at:

  • Finder crashes when trying to open a new window

    When trying to open a new Finder window, Finder will crash and relaunch but won't open an actual new window. Neither can I use the Go To Folder menu.
    I tried relaunching Finder, restarting my MacBook and repairing my disk. Unfortunately, nothing has helped so far..
    Any ideas?
    Small addition: I first noticed the problem while trying to open a DMG file. I don't have any reason to suspect this file is malicious though.

    I faced the exact same problem.
    Please check How to activate an event handler manually? Read the COMPLETE thread... especially the second last entry. Valery has given a perfect workaround for this problem.
    And it works absolutely fine too !

  • AIS freezes when trying to create a new metadata catalog

    Hi,

  • IDVD crashes when trying to create projects

    I have a project that I've been working on, but it's time to start a new one. First of all, when I open iDVD, it automatically opens the last project, and when I say New..., it asks to save it. When I give a name and location and click "Create", it just disappears completely. I restarted my computer and tried and the samething.. So, what's going on? how can I fix it????/

    Hi PC2Mac:
    Start by deleting the preference files for iDVD.
    Go to Users / Library / Preferences / com.apple.iDVD.plist
    Drag it to the trash, empty the trash, run disk utility to repair permissions, re-boot and it should open. Don't worry-iDVD will make new files when you open it again.

  • Disk Utility Error 61 when attempting to create disk image on external driv

    I would like to make occasional archive backups of my three macintosh computers. I bought a new Western Digital 2TB drive for this purpose, and formatted it as Mac OS Extended. Trying to do a disk image backup using Disk Utility, I follow the directions:
    - Startup from an install DVD.
    - Start Disk Utilities and select "Restore"
    - Drag "Macintosh HD" into the Source box
    - Click on "New Image" and select compressed and 128-bit AES encryption
    This leads to the error message: Unable to create "....." (error -61)
    I have enocountered this problem both with my iMac G5 and a MacBook, both running Leopard.
    Does anyone know what this error means, what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is another way to create disk image backups? Help!

    1. For reasons I don't know disc images seem to become more fragile the larger they get. They also can be subject to file corruption that affects the entire disc image, whereas file corruption on a clone would only affect certain files.
    2. You cannot put multiple clones on the same volume. Each clone must be on a separate volume, but you can have multiple volumes on a single drive simply by partitioning the drive accordingly. Of course you need a drive large enough to accommodate each clone. Each clone should be to a space equal to the capacity of the cloned drive.
    3. I'm not a big fan of TM, although I must confess it has become more reliable since it's release, especially with Snow Leopard. However, there are many backup utilities that can create clones, perform incremental updates, and archive changed files. See the following:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    Carbon Copy Cloner

    Deja Vu

  • Premiere Elements 9 crashes when trying to create new project?

    I dont seem to be able to get this application to work..... it was fine a few months ago, but when I went to create a new project it continually crashes out when you try and open an existing or new project file.
    can anyone suggest a possible rememdy please?\

    dudleythedog
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? And, are you running it from the 9.0.1 Update?
    Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Then the usual
    1. Running program from an User Account with Administrative Privileges plus Run As Administrator applied to program's desktop icon?
    2. Last version of QuickTime installed on same computer with Premiere Elements?
    3. Video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to web site of manufacturer of the card? According to the Device Manager/Display
    Adapters, how many video cards/graphics cards does your computer use - 1 or 2?
    As a first pass at this, let us delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, and, if necessary, the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
    Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer....
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and, in the 9.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If necessary, delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path cited.
    We will be watching for your results and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • IPhoto crashes when trying to create calendar

    Anyone seen a solution to this yet? Everytime I create a new Calendar project (which takes forever to even do that), if I click on Photos or Design in the bottom right corner, I get the spinning rainbow and finally crashes. Is there a solution? If not, can I go back to iPhoto '09???
    I've got 14,000 photos, maybe that's too big for Apple?
    Message was edited by: ezrasuncle

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Logic X crashes when trying to create groove template

    Hi,
    I've been trying to create a groove template from a small audio loop, but Logic consistently freezes and doesn't respond when i try and do this... im on Logic X 10.0.5.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Here's a workaround until this is fixed:
    Groove Template from Audio Region
    1. Select Audio Region and activate Flex Time, select slicing, leave quantise off
    2. Double click audio region to open editor,  leave in Track mode
    3. Manually Add Flex markers at all the transients
    4. Switch to Flex Pitch mode (this can be done from the Audio Editor window you are in)
    5. Still in the Audio editor go to the Edit menu and select ‘Create MIDI Track from Flex Pitch Data’
    6. Close the edit window, select the new MIDI region and choose ‘Make Groove Template’ from quantise menu
