Unable to 'Repair Disk' due to Error message

Routine check on the state of my HHD using Disk Utility - Permissions chks all ran fine and good, but not completing the Verify Disk process. The log file (below) was generated:
_Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”_
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
*Incorrect number of Extended Attributes*
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
*The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.*
*Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit*
1 HFS volume checked
*Volume needs repair*
unable to Repair Disk unless the full Verify Disk process has finished, is there an easy fix option, or does it signify a bigger problem?

Were you booted up from your install disk when you ran Disk Utility? If not, you'll need to try that and see if the disk can be repaired. If it can't, and you don't have a recent clone that is not damaged to replace the contents of the startup disk with, then Disk Warrior is the best option.

  • Unable to download apps due to error message

    I've downloaded and installed apps plenty of times but all of a sudden, the app store started to give me the error:
         "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    It first came up when I tried to install an update so I trashed the app and tried to reinstall but got the same message. I then tried to download other apps to see what would happen and the same message appears everytime. How do I fix this issue?

    Some people have reported that they've had to go through extremes to install Virus Barrier to get this to work.
    Let's try creating a NEW USER ACOUNT on your system, and try to download through the MAS from that fresh clean account.

  • HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

    I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
    Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

    I have confused myself with the facts!  Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here.  First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question.  Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option.  Then powered down the computerator.
    Next started up computerator.  Turned Time Machine ON  and experienced multiple successful backups!  Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far).  Had a few more successes.  After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK.  This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
    Put computer to sleep for the night.  Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD!   Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
    Did a few    Sleep-bad, Restart -OK    repetitions.
    It seems consistent:  Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
    =============================
    Now then, I don't understand everything I know here.  Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier).  Is there any truth in this?
    I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible.  What's out there that we know works reliably for us?

  • Unable to confirm transfer order due to error message "enter a storage unit

    Hi guys:
    I am unable to confirm transfer order due to error message popping up and saying "enter a storage unit", and I tried to search it in whole thread in the forum,it was suggestion to pick up destination storage unit via ls24, but I did went to ls24 and trying to click that line(transfer order) but unable to find the storage unit, so is there another way to fix it?

    Hi Allen...
    Pls check if your Storage Type is SU Active. If yes, then system will create a storage unit according to the setting done for the storage unit management, perhaps in your case you are confirmin TO for the putaway.
    Pls confirm and revert

  • Disk utility unable to repair disk. What next?

    Disk utility unable to repair disk. What next?

    I encountered the same problem. After verify disk, I got the message to repair the disk. But it was unable to complete the repair. Rather than purchase Disk Warrior, I tried something else.
    What I did was reinstall the OSX (this iMac is still on Leopard). I backed up everything, naturally, before doing the reinstall. I chose the "Archive and Install" option, along with "Preserve Users and Network Settings". This method moves  existing files to a folder named "Previous System" and imports existing user accounts, network settings, and home folders into the new OSX.
    After the successful reinstall, I ran Disk Utility. It checked AND repaired Permissions. It verified that the disk was fine and no longer needed repair.
    If this didn't work, my plan "B" was to reinstall the OSX again, this time with the "Erase and Install" option. Fortunately, I didn't have to go to plan "B".

  • Disk Utility: "Repairing disk failed with error Could not unmount disk"

    Disk Utility: “Repairing disk failed with error Could not unmount disk”
    Hi. I’ve been experiencing some mildly squirrelly behaviour with my system (vide infra) so decided to repair the two internal hard drives on my computer. The primary hard drive is a 74.53 GB ST380013AS that came with the system; its S.M.A.R.T. Status is “verified” and Disk Utility repairs permissions just fine. However, the second internal drive (Maxtor 6L250S0, 233.76 GB, lower Bay, Journaled HFS+), despite being verified by S.M.A.R.T. status and apparently running OK, fails to unmount when I ask Disk Utility to repair it- I get the above error message in red. I have repaired this disk with DiskWarrior (v3.03) and all appears to run AOK. Can anyone tell me why I cannot get Disk Utility to run on this secondary (eg, non-startup) disk? I have tried many times and the error is reproducible. Thank you!
    G5 1.6GHz PPC, 1 GB RAM, running OS 10.4.6

    Thank you for these useful links!
    For others who have this issue, I also found very helpful advice given to this question on the MacFixIt forums by MicroMat Tech3 at
    http://www.macfixitforums.com/php/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=tiger&Number=76265 1
    He said: "Use the lsof command to find the open files on a volume that does not unmount or eject. Open Terminal, located in /Applications/Utilities. Type: sudo lsof | grep Leave a space after the p in grep, then drag the icon of the problem volume to the Terminal window. The pathname for the volume is pasted in for you; press Return. Then enter your administrative password at the prompt, and press Return."
    At this point, one now has a list of the open files/processes on the volume that will not unmount. You can use Activity Monitor to terminate these processes if you wish, and then the volume will unmount as it should.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • HT201372 Failed to start erase of disk due to error (-9999, 0). A error occurred erasing the disk.

    Tried the recommendations in this article, however ran into the  error posted below.

    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app"

    Is there an updated document ?
    MacBook 13" white - Early 2009 model

    Oh, createinstallmedia only runs on OS 10.9!  Oh!  The 9999 is if you try to run it on an earlier OS!  Oh! Linc means to update the current drive to Mavericks, and then one will be able to run createinstallmedia, if one has first saved away a copy of the installer.
    But if, like me, you are trying to create an installer to do a clean install on an empty drive, without replacing the earlier OS on your current drive, then...
    You must use the slightly more complicated instructions you can find all over the place that look like
    Right click "Install OS X Mavericks.app" and show package contents
    Find a certain .dmg file and double click
    Find a hidden .dmg within the drive that mounts from the first .dmg
    Double-click or use "mount" on the hidden .dmg within the .dmg
    Use Disk Utility to "restore" the second disk image onto the erased USB drive
    Then replace an alias folder with a copy of a huge folder within the first disk image
    I had success with the "Option 2: Use Disk Utility" section here.

  • I recently upgraded computer to windows 7.  When I open itunes I am able to see my music library, but unable to play.  Gives an error message of "Could not be found".  How do I retrieve my library contents?

    I recently upgraded computer to Windows 7.  When I open itunes I am able to see my music library, but unable to play.  Gives an error message of "Could not be found".  How do I retrieve my library contents?

    Hello ehoff5,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to play my music in iTunes.  It sounds like the music files may be in a location that iTunes is not expecting.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • No Audio Playback due to Error Message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

    Out of the blue, no audio playback.  Was working just fine earlier today.
    I repeatedly get the error message:
    Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
    (-10001)
    NOTE: I have more than enough disc space.  That is NOT the issue.
    I also just got a second error message:
    Part of the Project was not played
    This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
    NOTE: Odd as I have only 2 tracks in the GarageBand file.
    Any others experience this?  Suggestions?

    Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
    You'll have to setup the program again.
    cheers

  • Unable to repair disk (Partition map) Please HELP !

    Hi,
    I have the weirdest problem with my 15" retina macbook pro.
    Earlier today, OS X automatically rebooted after some kind of bug. I was then unable to start the computer, wether it was through recovery or as usual.
    Started in Safe mode, Backed up with time machine, and restored system.
    I'm now able to boot as usual but when I launch Disk Utility, I detects an error. Please find DU log at end of this message.
    When I click Repair Disk, I continuously get the same error message (this disk needs to be repaired).
    Any ideas how I can get this error fixed ?
    Thanks so much !

    If you have a backup (for both OS's: OS X and Windows) you might try with booting to single user mode and use fsck tool: Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
    But if that would be my own mac i would probably create myself a Recovery USB Disk or Bootable OS Yosemite Installer Disk and repartition my Hard Drive and then reinstall OS X and restore data to it. If Disk Utility is reporting an issue with Partition Map Scheme i would be a bit anxious about my data stored on this drive...

  • HT1473 Had to "repair" Itunes today after error messages would not let me open. I can no longer sync my phone to computer without deleting all of the contect on my phone. I don't want to do that! I am trying to get the music from my Iphone to my Itunes li

    Little background:
    Went to open Itunes, error message told me I was missing files and I was unable to open. I deleted Itunes and re-downloaded and received same message. I then "repaired" Itunes from my "unistall/change" program menu. The error message then changed to being "unable to read my library of music." So I fixed that by following some other forum directions (Went to My Computer/Music/Itunes then dragged the most recent Itunes Library selection to my desktop, then opened the folder under music titled "Previous Itunes library" and moved that file into that folder. Thankfully that worked... sort of... I have some music in my library. None of the music from my super old Limewire library, or any recent music from my phone. All of which was in my library last night. Not to mention the HOURS of cd's I burned to Itunes over the entire weekend. Hundreds (at least) of songs are missing.
    So I attempted to sync my phone and was told it would delete all of the files in my phone to replace with files from my computer. Which is NOT what I want to happen. Trying to get music FROM my phone to my computer.
    Can someone please help me simply sync my phone to my computer? And then somehow get the music from my Limewire library to my Itunes library? I know I may not get the burned music back... But that sure would be amazing.
    I am at a loss. Apple won't help unless I pay them... So hopefully this looks familiar to someone!
    Thanks,
    Katie

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
