Can't enable the debug menu for Disk Utility

I tried "defaults write" and "-bool" to no effect.
I also tried both these terminal commands using a bootable USB, and launching Terminal to no effect.
(My firmware password was suddenly removed as well. Weird.)
Any ideas? Thanks.

Also, when the mac was bought, the firmware password "magically" appeared. I just tried DUDebug; it worked once, then didn't after repeated trials.
More questions: if I merge the EFI partition with the main partition, and then erase the drive, what isn't erased on the EFI? In other words, what would I expect on the mounted EFI drive? Additionally, how do I sort through the EFI volume on the desktop?

  • My LG Optimus Zone is having software issues and I can't access the Recovery Menu for a Factory Reset

    My LG Optimus Zone is having software issues and I can't access the Recovery Menu for a Factory Reset. It was working fine until I went to activate it and update the PRL. It turns on, but Freezes on the LG Logo. it currently goes into the LG Download Mode, and When I restore with LG's Mobile Support Tool, It finishes, reboots, and stays at the boot Logo. I was wondering if I can possibly get a replacement phone? This is a little upsetting, as i was hoping to have it transfered from prepaid to postpaid service next month

  • Can you use the "Restore" function in Disk Utility to clone MacBook Pro HDD and make a bootable copy?

    I'm cloning my MacBook Pro's HDD to a SSD and didn't really want to install another app (SuperDuper, CCC), can I just use the Restore function in Disk Utility app to clone it and make a bootable copy on my SSD?
    Thank you for the help!

    Yes.
    Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • How can you change the primary partition in Disk Utility?

    I have made another partition using Disk Utility to install Snow Leopard. On my main partition Lion is installed but when i boot into Snow Leopard and try to delete the Lion partition it comes with an error "This operation requires a newer version of Mac OS X for this disk". I tried deleting the partition from Recovery HD but it says it couldn't unmount the disk.
    Is this because Lion is the main partition, can you even delete the main partition?
    And if I do delete the main partition will i be able to move the Snow Leopard partition "upwards" in Disk Utility?

    1) First of all what is GUID.
    It's the "partition map scheme" Apple uses so your firmware knows what is what on your boot drive, what partitions there are and what format they contain.
    2) Secondly, would I just be able to make a new image in disk utility and use that instead of an external hard drive?
    No, you need something to boot off of and remove all data off the internal drive that's going to be reformatted with a new parttion, that's why you use the free Carbon Copy Cloner, it does both in one shot and it "blesses" the drive to make it bootable.
    3) When I use Carbon Copy cloner will it only copy Snow Leopard Installation or all of my files also?
    It copies everything in your Snow Leopard partition to the external drive, files, programs the OS everything except whats in the Trash.
    4) In your 8th step you mentioned repairing permissions on both. Both of what?
    Both drives, the internal and the external clone in Disk Utility (ignore the long list that appears)
    It's a safety check to make sure your permissions are set back to original settings, I think the newer version of CCC now does this, but I havent' checked, doesn't hurt to do it again.
    5) If you still feel like typing can you tell me how long this whole process might take?
    Formatting a external drive
    You should Erase with Zero option first, that will take a hour per 500GB
    Formatting shoud be rather fast, a few minutes.
    Cloning Snow Leopard to the external drive should take about a hour per 500GB
    Formatting the internal drive a zero erase first for safety should take another hour per 500GB
    Reverse cloning Snow Leopard back onto the internal drive should take another hour per 500GB
    Good thing about it, it's pretty much all ciick and go watch TV while it works.
    I was actually planning to make a Genius Bar appointment to fix it, by the way does that cost much?
    No idea, but you don't have to pay if you get a external drive for $70 or so, CCC is free.
    You get to keep the external drive and use it later for cloning as hard drives die all the time, the clone would get you back to using the computer.

  • I Can't Erase the Empty Space with Disk Utility

    It always gets stuck. Last time i tried it, it went all the way almost to the end of the fill bar. then it got stuck.
    But even when i did manage to do it using the FASTEST option which just writes ZEROS over the free space 1 time..   I used DISK DRILL to see if it could recover data and yup..it was still recoverable.   Another thing i did was  fill my free disk space with big huge movie files.  And old stuff was still recoverable with Disk drill.
    But anyway why Disk Utility Erase Free Disk Space gets stuck? And also  why disk drill can still find files even after i empty free disk space or when i fill empty free disk space with new files?

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your Tiger Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. After completion quit DU and return to the installer. Continue with Tiger installation.

  • How to Enable the debugging of process

    hai,
    I am using nwds , i want to debug my webdynpro application, but from my netweaver the context menu of server(in j2ee engine view) all the elements are in disable. how can i enable the context menu options.
    regards,

    Hi Naga,
    You will have to strat the J2EE engine first in the debuggine mode. For doing that follow these steps:
    You can start the debugging mode in two ways.
    <b>1) Through NWDS:</b>
    <b>Go to SAP J2EE Engine Cluster Overview-> Server 0 -> (Right Click)-> Enable Debugging of Process.</b>
    This will automatically restart your J2EE engine. And after it is restarted successfully, the debug mode will be ON.
    <b>2) Through Config Tool:</b>
    You can enable the debuggine mode from the Config Tool as well. Just visit the following path :
    <b>C:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<SYS_NO>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat</b>
    Click on the your instance. Then under the tab VM Environment, Set the <b>DebugMode = true</b>.
    Restart the engine now. This will open the J2EE server again in the Debug Mode.
    I hope this helps you!!
    Regards
    Pravesh

  • Can I enable the countdown in photo booth for ipad2?

    In past versions of photo booth, I remember that while we were taking photos, it had automatically started countdown for 3 seconds. Now, it doesn't countdown and I couldn't find how can I enable it. Thanks for your help..

    Thanks for the reply Lori, I hadn't found the Comic Life effects (there's quite a few in the version I have also).
    None of the ones I have seem to recreate the 'colored pencil' however -
    here's what the effect does in Photo Booth (please excuse the frightening early morning snap...)
    <http://www.exito.co.uk/images/PhotoBoothColoredPencil.jpg>
    That's what I'm trying to acheive with existing images.
    I'm hoping it's possible with the inbuilt Core Image filtering (or an app utilising it)
    as I'm guessing that's what Photo Booth is using under the hood.

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
