Can Not Verify Hard Disk

I was trying to install Windows XP on my iMac using Boot Camp, but during the disk partition phase, I got an error message saying that "The Disk Could Not Be Partitioned Because the Disk Could Not Be Verified." So I opened up Disk Utility and tried to verify the disk and the result is "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS voluem checked. Volume needs repair." However, the "Repair Disk" option is not available. Please Help!
iMac Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Well,it wasn't only about reinstalling and took me five minutes to fix the problem.
-Search your installation DVD's.
-Insert the disc 1 and sthut down your Mac
-Start your Mac again while holding down the C key
-Now your Mac should boot from the CD, this can take some time.
-After a while you will see a installation screen where you can chose a language.
-Chose English and continue.
-Then click some time's next and agree with the "Software Agreement".
-Open Disk Utility. Top menu bar --> Utilities --> Open Disk Utility.
-Select your hard disk in the list of disks and volumes on the left side
-Go to the First Aid (tab somewhere on the right).
-Click the button to verify the permissions.
-Then Click the button to repair the permissions.
-Click the button to verify the disk.
-Then Click the button to repair the disk.
-Exit the Disk Utility and the installer.
-Restart your Mac

System can not find hard disk

After starting up my macbook Air, a blinking question mark pops up. I switch off the laptop. Restart the laptop with 'ALT' button pressed. 'Disk Utility program' does not show the 'macintosh HD' disk. So apparently it can not find it. Your advice is appreciated, how I can refind the hard disk

thanks, unfortunately no positive impact. Hard disk can still not be found. I also executed the tips as mentioned in:
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
and these also did not resolve the issue. So any other suggestion is welcome

LifeDrive can not be hard reseted

Hi Dear Alan G.
Thank you for the quick reply and sorry for the my late response.
(a)When the LifeDrive is restarted I can hear the hard disk spanning (like the sound of analogy wall clock) for 1 minutes then it become silent.
(b) When I shake the device gently the motion of hard disk can be hear.
(c)Further if it is plugged into AC power the light (LED) at the top shows orange (amber) color and never changes the color.
Today when I tried "hard reset" for this
(1) The power button is pressed and hold to right direction then the reset button is pressed gently.
(2) From the menu "Secure erase" is selected after that anther screen can just with work "secure erase".
(3) There was no other option therefore I wait for one hour but there was no progres
(4) Also nothing when the LifeDrive is restarted it stuck at the startup with "plamone" showing on the screen.
Please tell me what should I do?
With best regards;
Bashir Ahmad.

Can't see hard disk folders

I have an airport extreme hooked to a cable modem. I have a Seagate 160 gig hard disk attached to the airport extreme. My Mac Book Pro can see the hard disk and all its folders, but my PC that is wired with an ethernet cord cannot see the folders on the hard disk. It sees the drive as a Z drive but no folders show up. My husbands Sony Vaio laptop only sees the hard disk and not the folders either.
Any suggestions????

Is there a way to just convert file or even partition of the half I have left?
Safely? No. You'll have to find another place to transfer the data to.
And last is the best format not HFS+?
It is... if you have a Mac. If you are only in Windows, you may at some point want to disconnect the USB HDD from the Extreme and connect it directly to your PC. Native Windows can read a FAT/FAT32 drive, but not an HFS+. However, you can pick up MacDrive which allows a Windows machine to read an HFS+ drive. Your choice.

Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100?

Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100 ?
The Hard disc in this model is same size as SSD 2.5" drive?

Hi
As mentioned above: the SATA controller is supported so you will need to use a SATA SSD drive usually it should not be a big problem to upgrade the notebook with an SSD drive in some cases it could be possible that the SSD firmware needs to be updated but this depends on the SSD drive manufacturer
However, the SSD drive is much faster than a common HDD. Therefore you should notice a faster performance

After call commit sql , data can not flush to disk

I use berkey db which support sql . It's version is db-5.1.19.
1, Open a database.
2. Create a table.
3. exec "begin;" sql
4. exec sql which is insert record into table
5. exec "commit;" sql
6. copy database file (SourceDB_912_1.db and SourceDB_912_1.db-journal) to Local Disk of D, then use a tool of dbsql to open the database.
7. use select sql to check data, there is no record in table.

sqlite3 * m_pDB;
int nRet = sqlite3_open_v2(strDBName.c_str(), & m_pDB,SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE,NULL);
2
string strSQL="CREATE TABLE [TBLClientAccount] ( [ClientId] CHAR (36), [AccountId] CHAR (36) );";
char * errors;
nRet = sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, strSQL.c_str(), NULL, NULL, &errors);

nRet = sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "begin;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
4
nRet = sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "INSERT INTO TBLClientAccount (ClientId,AccountId) VALUES('dd','ddd'); ", NULL, NULL, &errors);
5
nRet = sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "commit;", NULL, NULL, &errors);

Hi,
Here is a simple test case program I used based on your description:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "sqlite3.h"
int error_handler(sqlite3*);
int main()
     sqlite3 *m_pDB;
     const char *strDBName = "C:/SRs/OTN Core 2290838 - after call commit sql , data can not flush to disk/SourceDB_912_1.db";
     char * errors;
     sqlite3_open_v2(strDBName, &m_pDB, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, NULL);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "CREATE TABLE [TBLClientAccount] ( [ClientId] CHAR (36), [AccountId] CHAR (36) );", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "begin;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "INSERT INTO TBLClientAccount (ClientId,AccountId) VALUES('dd','ddd'); ", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "commit;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     //sqlite3_close(m_pDB);
     //error_handler(m_pDB);
int error_handler(sqlite3 *db)
     int err_code = sqlite3_errcode(db);
     switch(err_code) {
     case SQLITE_OK:
     case SQLITE_DONE:
     case SQLITE_ROW:
          break;
     default:
          fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: %s. ERRCODE: %d.\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db), err_code);
          exit(err_code);
     return err_code;
}Than I copied the SourceDB_912_1.db database and the SourceDB_912_1.db-journal directory containing the environment files (region files, log files) to D:\, opened the database using the "dbsql" command line tool, and queried the table; the data is there:
D:\bdbsql-dir>ls -al
-rw-rw-rw-   1 acostach 0 32768 2011-10-12 12:51 SourceDB_912_1.db

Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
dbsql> .tables
TBLClientAccount
dbsql> .schema TBLClientAccount
CREATE TABLE [TBLClientAccount] ( [ClientId] CHAR (36), [AccountId] CHAR (36) );
dbsql> select * from TBLClientAccount;
dd|dddI do not see where the issue is. The data can be successfully retrieved, it is present in the database.
Could you try putting in the sqlite3_close() call and see if you still get the error?
Did you remove the __db.* files from the SourceDB_912_1.db-journal directory?
Did you use PRAGMA synchronous, and if so, what is the value you set?
If this is still an issue for you, please describe in more detail the exact steps needed to get this reproduced and provide a simple stand-alone test case program that reproduces it.

Can not verify apple id. The email on my itunes account is no longer good. How do i change my email in my current itunes account?

can not verify apple id. The email on my itunes account is no longer good.

You can change it. At the top of iTunes, click Store > View My Account, log in with your password, View Account. To the right of your Apple ID click the word Edit, and it will take you to a page where you can edit your email address.
You are right to avoid creating a new account if at all possible, since having multiple accounts usually causes complications down the line.

My Apple ID is verified, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

My Apple ID shows "verified" on the manage my ID page on Apples website, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

10gR1 OEM can not verify Solaris 10 host. 10gR2 agent can upload though

Got following error when tried to verify Solaris 10 host.
I have 10gR1 (1.0.3) fresh installation without patch on server 1. Recently I installed 10g R2 agent on a Solaris 10 server 2. The agent can upload data back to the OMS without problem. But after I enter server 2 host credential to verify host connection I got the following error in emoms.log on Sever 1.
"2006-05-31 17:16:49,704 [EMUI_17_05_35_/console/pref/setCredentials$targetType=host] ERROR creds.SetPrefCreds testCreds.1281 - SetPrefCreds.testCreds(): CredsException: Connection to host bcrcxfwwd7p.something.com as user xxxx failed: IOException in sending Request :: Connection timed out"
I can use Secure shell in Solaris to connect to server2 as xxxx directly & do my work.
But somehow I can not verify the host connection from within OEM.
I don't have any problem to use OEM to manage 9 other Solaris 9 hosts and 10g databases. Is Solaris 10 specific problem?
Any suggestions are welcome
Mike

Hang on, are you using a 10.1 oms with a 10.2 agent reporting to it?
