1 volume could not be repaired because of an error

Hi,
By using 'Disk Utility: Repair Disk' option,
I got following error.
Verify and Repair disk “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect block count for file CFUniCharropertyPatabaseDdata
(It should be 10 instead of 0)
Invalid node structure
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
How can i solve this error?
If i erase and format this Hard Drive, I hope i can get rid of this error.
Is there any way to check 'bad sector' in my Hard Drive?
Is there any utility rather than 'disk utility' through which i can check my hard drive throughly...?
As i have two Hard drives, i have no problem to use another HDD and erase and format problematic HDD.
I really appreciate if you give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello! Erasing using the "zero all data" should lock out any bad blocks and then a clean install should get you back in good shape. The best tool you can have is Diskwarrior which repairs disk directory problems only but it's the best money can buy. Tom

Disk Utility reports 'Volume could not be repaired' Now what?

Disk Utility reports that my internal HD cannot be repaired (I tried booting to the installation CD as-well-as a Superduper image with the same result). Here is the complete dialogue:
Verify and Repair disk “iMac_HD”

Unfortunately the backup image has the same problem, so no use restoring the internal HD from it. So what do I do now? I read on a forum that the 'illegal name' error is caused by Photoshop CS, but didn't see a solution. Help!

I get this error occassionally too. In those cases I take my original install dvd, put it in, reboot and hold the c key.
It then starts an install (don't worry, it won't do anything). When the install screen appears, in the top menu you can select Disk Utility.
Repair the disk from there, it will probably manage now. I guess something is interfering with Disk Utility when all of OS X has loaded.
Once the disk is repaired, verify/repair permissions, exit the program and reboot (don't hold and press c this time around).
Hope this helps.

Disc repair states volume could not be repaired - am clueless how got here

my disc utility repair states volume could not be repaired. I did this with Apple using my disc. Is there any options to repair other than reloading the operating system? I hate to loose all my updates and third party software.
For half hour I have been trying to figure out how to post a question. can you tell me how I got to this page?
Thanks
Jackie

Hello Jacqueline, welcome to Apple (user to user) Discussions
The first thing I would do is back up all vital data, iTunes folder, your username/Library/Mail and username/Library/Safari folders.
Next I would copy all passwords, network login info, mail login, third party passwords etc. You can copy third party apps as well, but it's best to use original sources if possible. Some copy protected apps can only be reinstalled via disks.
Once you have all your data backed up, use a blank external drive, repair your disk permissions and use a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your buggy boot drive to the external as a extra precaution. You can hold option and boot from this drive in the future after you have rebuilt your present drive.
Now once your data is safe, you can choose to mess around and try to fix your buggy boot drive with Disk Warrior, but it might not fix your problem and cost you a pretty penny to try.
My advice if you have followed the steps above, is to simply hold c and boot off the Tiger installer disk (not the Tiger over Panther upgrade disks) and select Disk Utility from the installer menu. Select your buggy boot drive and Erase with the option to Zero. This "low level format" will take some time and ensure you get a drive that's more reliable, (hardware malfunctions is another thing obviously) from bad sectors on the platters. (a problem Disk Warrior can't fix)
Once that's done, simply reinstall Tiger, enter your network data, go to System Preferences>Software update and repeat until it's clear. If you don't have iLife '06, you'll need to install this as it's not included in Tiger purchase disks. Update and repair permissions.
Next it's time to reinstall apps from original source if all possible and immediately update. Reason for this is security issue in apps that get fixed, but you might have a backdoor or altered app code from a previous unfixed exploit. So a fresh copy will eliminate this possibility.
Also be sure to visit your drive makers sites and update and driver software for Tiger.
You can load up the rest of your files and what not, import your mail boxes, Safari bookmarks, tweak the machine the way you like it. Once everything is done, wait to see if you forgot anything, then you can always hit the clone on the external.
Once your sure your fine, then Disk Utility Erase the clone and repeat the cloning method, using your new boot drive instead.
Now you'll have a option boot-able backup of your boot drive in case your present boot drive kicks the bucket one morning. (It's happened to me a few times)
Clone your boot drive before a OS update, or a major install, or whenever you wish. This way you have the option to "go back" in case something breaks with a OS update or something.
I advise have 2 staggered clones just in case.
So to review in short, backup, then attempt to fix, then simply reinstall to catch everything that could be wrong, then clone your drive occassionally for a alternate bootable drive.

Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
Who can help me??
Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

Help! Message "pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different l

I had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a drop down window saying this:
"Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf). The xxxxx.pdf is usually written as gibberish, like "86hgkjh.pdf" or "sdfj99f.pdf."
2) this never happened on my laptop;
3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
4) I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, which I already tried opening before downloading;
5) the settings are also set to open pdfs using adobe.

I had the same problem when I installed Firefox 3, but I think the problem is due to my recent hard drive upgrade. Try changing the download location from "Desktop" in Microsoft Internet Explorer and all other browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc.) to whatever default location you prefer. I never use Internet Explorer, but I think somehow my settings were corrupted when I upgraded my hard drive. I found this solution on another site also.

I get the following error everytime I download something from the internet:-"/Users/vinaypunjabi/Downloads/Ontario Colleges Chart(2)(1).pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file".

I get the following error everytime I download something from the internet:-"/Users/vinaypunjabi/Downloads/Ontario Colleges Chart(2)(1).pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file".
Then it shows as downloading failed.But if I click on it twice ,it opens up .
this has started happening since last week.Before this ,it never happened.
Please suggest what has gone wrong somewhere and how can I rectify it.

Please install the following add-on to see if it helps.

I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Your Changes were saved but could not be uploaded because of an error

Hi, some times users getting below error while doing check in the documents in SharePoint 2007 sites on their PC:
Your Changes were saved but could not be uploaded because of an error...
I have two WFE servers in Farm: first WFE host name is mydms01 and another WFE host name is mydms02
And we are using NLB URL to access the sites, NLB name is myworld.
Please guide me

Here is your answer, Microsoft changed the way webdav and other files are uploaded,
Office 2010 upload manager is designed to work with Sharepoint 2010 not reverse.
But this is how you fix the tool to work with Sharepoint 2007.
IIS 6.0 Do this
Go to the site on each server if you are a farmed environment.
Locate the Web Application supporting the site and add a custom header to the site.
Add the primary url of the site into the custom headers,
http://site.name.com
and click ok.
No need to restart IIS and it will not impact your services.
IIS 7.0 do this
To resolve the issue, perform the following procedure:
Go to Resource Policies > Web >
Rewriting > Custom Headers > (if 'Custom Headers' is not visible, click
Customize on the right top to enable the view).
Create a new policy with the Resource as <fully qualified domain name of the SharePoint server:*/*> (for example https://sharepoint.juniper.net:*/* ).
Create the action as Allow Custom Headers.
Apply the settings to the required roles.
Note: - This does not interrupt any functionality of the same server, as it just allows Custom Headers, if any, for any request towards this server.

I have a pop up window that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61). What does that mean?

I am using a portable USB storage drive connected to my laptop. I am trying to delete a file from the USB drive but it is not working. A pop up window appears that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61)". What does that mean and how do I fix it? Thank you.

All I can tell you is that is a write permissions error. How is this drive formatted? Check the file's permissions. You can try:
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo rm -rf
Leave a space after "-rf" and drag the file into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

My iTunes opens in safe mode but when I try to sync my ipad? It says apple mobile device service could not be started because an unknown error occurred 1084

It says apple mobile device service could not be started because an unknown error occurred 1084

I figured it out on my own, and it was an odd fix. I added a password to my account in users, and then made Apple Mobile Device service log in through my account, and now it works.

I am having trouble with downloading a zip file. When I do, it gives me the error message (filename) could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.

(filename) could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.
Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.

Setup could not be started because of unexpected error

Have tried to load icloud several times. I Keep getting error that "setup could not be started because of unexpected error. Can anyone help? Thanks.

You need to leave more information like what is the ios5 device. I following instructions accidently set up two iclouds and then I couldn't get the contacts in. My mobileme email isn't going to work anymore because I set up an icloud using my store apple ID. Apparently the term apple ID can refer to any apple product ID that you make up not the one you use in the store. So you need to leave more infor on what is your problem to figure out how to help.

I'm trying to download Firefox 4, but the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/firefox/o5we?qDe.part.part could not be saved, because an unknown error has occurred. Try saving to different location. What does this mean?

When trying to download to download Firefox 4, the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/Firefox/05weDe.part. could not be saved because of an unknown error. Try saving to a different location. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.10. I think I should be able to download Firefox 4. I have Firefox Version 3.6 now.

I am often getting this kind of error, although I believe it's less frequent with Firefox 4 than with the previous version. I do not know a proper solution, but I have noticed this:
* If I simply try to re-download, it will fail again.
* If I clear the list in the download window, I can download the same file without any trouble.
I believe the problem may be related to the antivirus software. The file is downloaded completely, and instead of moving it to the final position Firefox gets confused and deletes it.
