Anyone have success recovering from a disk failure after turning on File Vault

My wife is running at 13" Macbook Pro Late 2011/Early 2012 running OS 10.7.3. I updated several Apple fixes and a firmware fix the other day for here. I also activated her File Vault to encrypt her files when not in use. She had some intermittent issues with slow startups yesterday and today I was forced to do a hard reboot. Swirling pinwheel that didn't seem tied to any application and and Command/Alt/Esc did not work to force quite or even see if anythng was hanging.
This morning I a was getting a white screen followed by a file with a question mark...I have attempted to use Command-R internet recovery feature in Lion and managed to it to start up so I can open Utlilities and see if there are issues with the disk. It is showing a 500.11 GB Toshiba MK5065GSXF Media and not a Macintosh HD. I am unable to Verify or Repar Permissions or the Disk as these are grayed out.
Did she lose the hard drive? What are my options here. My wife - after I convinced her to use a Mac - has lost four hard drives in less than a year and is on here second system (the first one was replaced by Apple after she lost three hard drives!)
Any chance this is an issue with File Encyrption? Any suggestions on how to fix this?

5 days after I had recieved my mbp, my harddrive failed as well. I did try to reinstall the OS but with no luck. At some point during installation, it would stop telling me to try again. So I took it to the nearest technical service center and they confirmed the hd-failure and replaced it. this was the 80gig @ 5200rpm. but since you were able to reinstall the OS again, you should be fine. have you run the diskutility again?

How to recover from a software failure on the 6120 Fabric Interconnect

Hi all,
Had a software failure while upgrading the fabric interconnects. Does anyone know the process to recover from a software failure.
Ive copied up the kickstart and system images, from the loader prompt ive booted the kickstart image and then loaded the system image but the fabric interconnect still reboots to the "switch(boot)" prompt.
Thanks in Advance
Darren

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately im still stuck on the switch(boot): prompt.
The bootflash: only has 2 files in it, the kickstart and system image.
Each time i get the FI to the boot prompt, i can ping the device, but not access via the GUI. (i dont have a local copy of UCSM installed)
What files should i have in the bootflash: for the FI to correctly load.
below is a log of the FI as it loads the kickstart image from the Loader prompt.

MSI & ATI Radeon "recovered from a device Failure"

.System:
P4 2.4G 533Mhz
MSI 645E Max-U with Sis 645 DX
ATI Radeon 64 DDR VIVO AGP4x
500 MB DDR PC2100 (266)
80 GB HD ATA100
Windows XP SP1
The system just locks up, Dark screen and after a while turns to 640 x 480 4bit mode and says:
"Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work and reboot to restore full functionality."
From other forums same thing happens in Gigabyte, asus and via. It looks like asus has allready made a new bios update for there board I hope MSI do the same thing soone ;( ;( .
Aparently 8X havent been fully exploted and there are some glitches. On top of that Windows XP and 2000 have some reflesh problems over 60 Hz (as it says in ati web)
Mean while is up to us to look for workarounds until they do there job. If the Mobos (motherboard) makers dont make the change then it will have to be up to ATI.
Aparrently disabling the Fastwrite on windows helps a lot. So far I have had this problem making a data backup on a DVD-R so two DVD-R wasted.
If you want more info on where I got all this go to:
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showindex.php?s=&threadid=33662452
It looks like NVidia is having the same problem too but sorry cant help you there. go to this link to see if they can help you:
http://www.tek-tips.com and search for weirdest video card problem thread749-458930

Your video card doesn't support AGP 8x, so that shouldn't be a factor at all. Does SmartGart report it running at 4x?
Did you do a clean install of XP when you started using your mobo?
Has this problem only occured when using your DVD burner? If so, the problem may lie with that.
Only other suggestion... maybe time for a new video card?

I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck

Did anyone have success applying the invisible shield to their ipad?

Did anyone have success applying the Invisible Shield to their Ipad?

Yes. Make sure any iPad Cover that you have for it is removed first. Then, start at the bottom where the On/Off button is. Peel off only a small section of the bottom of the invisible layer and attached the small exposed sticky side to the bottom of the iPad.
Line it up as best as you can. Placing the edge of the iPad against a flat surface like a wall or backsplash on a kitchen counter can help you to keep the invisible sheet "square" with the iPad surface.
Was that a confusing answer?

For the rare few, such as myself, who have some Office 2004 or older documents that fail to translate well in Office 2011, another option is to run Office 2004 in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels:

Unable to Turn Off File Vault - I don't have enough Free Space on my System Drive.. Any Advise?

I am trying to Turn-Off File Vault on my MacBook Pro. The Following Message Appears: There isin't enough Space on your Harddrive to Turn File Vault Off.
It requires an additional 28.7Gb of Free Disc Space on my System Drive to proceed... I currently only have 4,78Gb of Space available on my System Drive..
Any advise on how to do this??

Better yet, could you adjust the size of the partition of your System Partition? I didn't know you had your HD Partitioned, I would really avoid moving the whole Applications folder off it is possible it will mess things up. Maybe give it more room, so that file vault can copy everything over. If that is possible to just take space from the Projects and give it to System, that would be the best option.
Thanks,
Kevin

Recovering from a disk crash

i experienced a hard disk failure on my MacBook Pro today. at first Safari started complaining it's unable to save bookmarks, then Mail gave errors about not being able to write data. i tried logging out and logging in again with the same account but i got this error:
'You are unable to log in to the user account "aspa" at this time.'
i then logged in as another user and tried to mount user aspa's home directory disk image (which used FileVault). the mount operation failed with the following message:
"The following disk images failed to mount
aspa.sparseimage corrupt image"
rebooting didn't help either so i booted the system from the installation DVD disc and tried running verify and repair in Disk Utility but both operations failed. verify failed with this message:
"Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking HFS Plus volume
Invalid record count
The volume needs to be repaired.
Error: Then underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair"
repair operation failed with similar errors. i then booted the system in single-user mode and tried running 'fsck -fy' which again failed:
"** /dev/rdisk0s2
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid record count
(3,1)
** Volume check failed"
i started the disk in FireWire target mode and tried copying files from the failed disk to another machine but copying failed:
tar: /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1/Applications/...: Read error at byte 17832448, reading 10240 bytes: Bad file descriptor
trying to copy the user's home directory disk image resulted in similar errors.
it appears that there was some sort of error with the root file system which then made the sparseimage brake. i was advised by Apple support to reinstall the operating system which i'm now doing.
the operating system installation took quite a while but it seems to have gone fine. still, i'd like to get some assurance that this problem was not due to a hardware fault. i've run Apple Hardware test which didn't report any errors. are there any good test programs which would test the hard disk for failures? any ideas on whether this was caused by a software or hardware problem?
if i remember correctly, before the re-installation the disk was split into two partitions. i deleted all the partitions prior to the installation to make sure that everything will be wiped out. the installation program didn't re-create the other partition. what is this partition used for? should i recreate it and re-install?

Anyone have success in getting G5 to remember keys?

I have a new AirPort Extreme setup. I am using WPA/WPA2 encryption and have successfully got it connected to the internet as my old AirPort base was. However, the problem is that my G5 computers all can't seem to remember the keys between sessions. That is, when I turn on a G5 it will not automatically connect to the wireless network. I have to manually re-enter the network name and key - it will consistently think the first combination was in error, it always accepts the second try. It stays connected until G5 is powered down. It will occasionally forget about the DNS servers as well.
So, is this a configuration issue? A known problem?
thanks,
Joe

I had the same problem. Try going to system preferences and chose the network pane. In the network pane, highlight your airport then hit the "configure" button. In the configure screen (airport tab), choose "preferred networks" from the drop down menu where it says "By default, join:". If you see your airport listed, select it and click the edit button. If not, hit the plus sign to add it. Either way, you should get a window where you can input your network name, security, and password.
This fixed it for me. Now my laptop connects to the airport automatically when I start up or wake from sleep.

Successfully recovered from a dead iPod nano

This is just to encourage others with similar problems not to give up prematurely.
I was downloading my daily podcast update when it suddenly stopped and reported that it couldn't write to the iPod anymore. I tried everything to recover from this ... Disk Utility ... wouldn't allow me to fix it ... iPod Updater ... could not write to it. I was about to give up and send in to Apple for service but the excessive mailing charges (for service after 6 months) caused me to pause.
I decided to do the last thing on the list of things to do and drain the battery completely. This took over 5 days with me intermittently wakening the iPod by clicking on the wheel. It would display the "Use iTunes to Restore" message for about 20 seconds and then go back to sleep. I figured I had to wake it up frequently to speed up draining the battery.
Earlier today when I clicked the wheel it did not wake up. Eureka ... so I started the iPod Updater and attached the iPod. This time I was able to restore it and then connect to iTunes and download all my music. Right now it is charging.
I hope that nothing more happens but for the time being I am very happy.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the computer does not see the iPod there is no way to get info off the iPod except a Data Recovery Company might be able to do it.

Anyone have success loading IOS5 first try?

I see there are plenty who have had issues but anyone have it work first or second time without errors or lockouts? Just wondering if the majority have issues or we are only hearing from those with issues. Report if you loaded and restored without issues.

Got my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 done first thing when it was released with no errors.
My iPhone has been running much slower ever since though

Why do I get "The system has recovered from a serious error" after system shut down

Every time when start/restarting the computer using the attached .vi I get a window with "The system has recovered from a serious error." Although this does not seems to have any effect on application and I am able to use the test equipment but could someone explain why this is happening?

Hi Fardm,
how should we answer that question when you don't attach the VI, but only a picture hidden in some proprietary file format?
Attach the VI!
You also have some Rube-Goldberg in your code:
IF not zero THEN use ErrorCode ELSE use zero
Why not just connect errorcode directly with BundleByName? You don't need the Select function here...
