Can not update my system and not able to repair disk

I havn't used my macbook pro for about a year, and recently I need to travel to another place and need it with me.
I see in AppStore that there is an update for my ios, I downloaded it, and run the install.
however, when updating my system. I run into some error, the installer says the update installation failed, and I should restart the computer and repair the disk before continue.
I tried to restart in safeboot, not working, the screen stucks at the apple logo for over half an hour.
And tried to restart with my harddrive, the system tells me I can not select that disk to restart.
I an able to run disk utility from the installer. I can verify disk permissions .
But when I run the disk verify, it gives me an error:
Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking file system
Performing live verification
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
The volume Machitosh HD could not be verified completely.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click repair Disk.
But the "Repair Disk" button (and the repair permission button)is gray and can not be pressed, when put my mouse over the "repair disk" button, a line of text shows up:
"repair the structure of the disk's file system, if necessary
Not available becaue the selected disk can't be written to."
the repair permission gives me "Not available becaue the selected disk can't be written to." as well.
What do I do now?

QiaQiaC,

  • Installed NW 7.01 ABAP trail version - Can not able to test WD application

    Hi All,
    I have installed SAP NetWeaver Application Server 7.01 ABAP Trial Version. I can able to create new programs using SE38 and also even adobe forms.
    But when i try to execute WD application, i am getting the below error
    Service can not be reached
    What has happened?
    URL: http://san-pc:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wdt_quiz call was terminated  because the corresponding service is not available.
    Note:
    Termination occurred in system NSP with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden
    The selected virtual host was 0.
    Even when i try to create the elements in the view, i can not able to see the layout. I am getting same kind of above error :403 - forbidden
    I guess the interface/link between webdynpro application and NW is not there.
    So when i checked C:\windows/system32\drivers\etc\services, there is no entry for port 8000.I think it should be there. Because of this only i think i am getting the above error. Could any provide me that details please?
    Could any one help me out to solve the issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Sangeetha,
    You need to use FQDN for access WD ABAP Applications.
    After that, you needt to update JAVA_HOME system enviromental variable in my computer (My computer > Priperties >> Advance >> Startup and Recovery >> Enviromental Variable >> System Variables >> Add new JAVA_HOME parameter with path for installed Java JDK)
    - Start > RUN > drivers > etc > services and add an entry
    sapmsNSP    36<systemnumber>/tcp
    Then try to run your WD Applications, Hope it will work.
    Regards

    Hello PamelaFox14,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you need to log in as the administrator to update the iTunes application properly.
    Take a look at this article named:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    This section in particular:
    1. Make sure you have administrator account access
    To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:
    Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?
    Otherwise, refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.

    The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use.  There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos.  Also see:

  • I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.

    I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
    at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
    Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
    I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • Lenovo service is not able to repair a X240 for 6 weeks now

    For meanwhile 6 (!) weeks lenovo is not able to repair my X240. I never thought, that it would be so difficult to repair one of  lenovos highend laptops with 3 years service and extended warrenty
    I have to mention, that this ist my 2nd X240. The first one was replaced by lenovo, because it was so bad build, that the local lenovo service denied to open the laptop. 
    The new one (4 months old) had until now two new displays,  three mainboards and a new SDD.
    About the 10th of december i opened a service request at IBM ESC, because the laptop didn't boot and the new display (the one before died) showed such an extreme ghosting, that one could read on the lock-screen, what was on the screen, before i locked the screen. Second problem: the laptop didn't wake up from standby.
    Got a ticket number, but the service needed weeks to get the needed parts. 
    In janaury 2015 the service showed up. Meanwhile the laptop booted again. They replaced the display and mainboard. The technician repaced the mainboard to be "sure" that this will not happen again. Result: the laptop didn't boot. His opinion: either the SDD or Mainboard or SSD cable is the reason. He did not use my "old" mainboard, instead he left and said they will contact me again. After he left i saw that he did not assemble the body of the laptop correct wtih the result, that above the rear battery the body was open and bent. And it happend.. nothing! They closed the ticket!!!
    A week later the mailroom called and told me that ibm send a parcel. A new SSD! But.. no technician! So i called lenovo again. They told me to open the Laptop and replace the SSD. I refused that. The new X240 is not so easy to open. I told them too, that the SSD cable could be also the reason for the problem.
    After DAYS (!) they send me a technician with a new mainboard and he repalced the SSD (which i had to send back to lenovo!). Again no success and he had no SSD cable.
    I showed him the body of the laptop and he told me that this is not covered by the warenty. Pardon??? This was not my fault!
    Lenovo didn't show up again until i called them. And again a new technician with a new mainboard and without an SSD cable showed up! And what happened? Right! Nothing! The new mainboard did not fix the problem! Surprise.
    I called again the support. Told them, that i could not be so difficult to get an SSD cable and a technician.But.. they suggested to send the laptop back to lenovo to repair it. I told him that for 6 weeks the laptop is not working now and that i need that laptop fixed! I don't want to send it in and wait again weeks for the return. The extended warrenty says, that they will repair my laptop on my desk! He told me that he will solve my problem... And what did i get? Yeees, a sticker for a parcel and instructions how to contact UPS.
    Sorry lenovo, that is the worst performance ever. 6 Weeks and lenovo is not able to replace a SSD cable and to get the laptop in the shape (closed body) that it was before 3 technicians ruined it.
    So lenovo, sry, no carbon 2015 for me. I have to look for an other brand after a bunch of Thinkpads.

    Thanks again - Alas, I've been there. Deleted Search a dozen times, at least, and tried installing it, initially using a PowerShell script (tried several scripts actually, from full-blown total Search Applications with extensive topologies to the most basic
    of basics 'please just start without showing me errors'), PowerShell line-by-line to see where things went South, next tried installing through Central Admin (hoping that it was my own stupidity in overlooking things and hoping The System would get it right
    for me), and eventually even tried using the config wizzard as a total and utter last resort - Nothing worked.
    At first, I found out that removing a Service App needs a *little* bit more work than simply removing it through Central Admin, but by now I can truthfully state that if there's one thing I've become supergood at, it's removing Search Service Applications.Totally.
    I will check out the article, though - I realized early on in my SharePoint experience that regardless of what you think you know, there's so much more to find out. I know, that's almost philosophical. That is, my friends, indeed the point I've reached...

  • Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte

    itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
    there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
    infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??

    A few things to try:
    • Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
    • Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
    Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
    Get Info (command-I).
    Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
    You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
    Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer.  What can I do?

    My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer.  What can I do?

    Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
    and problem with my Zip Drive.  However:
        1.  Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
        2.  To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
             coverings.  Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
              of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
          3.  I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
               theiomega zip drive in there.
    Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
    Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
    "ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
    Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
    I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
    clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
    continued to compile, so I closed it.
    Within my Mac OS X HD>  Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
    with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
    "No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found.  Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
    trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
    CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?
    Thanks,     Peterfromcrystallake

  • Updated operating system and the ipad4th gen froze up and restored it's self and now I lost all my photos and videos from over a year ago,,any way to recover them?

    system restored it's self after a recent operating system upgrade 8.0 and kept shutting down and restarting ,asked to be linked to my mac ,,so I did and it totally reset it's self ,all my apps ,photos and videos are gone from the day I bought the ipad...looked in itunes and I cloud and they are not there,,is it possible to recover all my photos now after a complete restore has happened?

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store
