Disc repair function for macbookpro

how can i access the disc repair function in macbookpro, and will it resolve the problem "start up disc is full delete files"? keep getting this message and there is no indication of how to resolve the problem.

Your disk is about to fill up to the point where it will not boot.  Take action quickly to delete files you do not need so you will not reach that point.
You should maintain a minimum of 10 GB of free space and it is best to keep about 15% free, whichever is bigger.  Your system can slow down if there is not enough free disk space.
Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
- Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
  Empty the Trash.
- Start iPhoto.  Empty its trash.
- Boot in Safe Mode.

- Restart in normal mode.
Deleting and offloading files:
Backup:
Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions. 
Deleting and Offloading files:
Use OmniDiskSweeper  http://www.omnigroup.com/more to find large folders and files to delete or offload.  Do not touch any system files.  Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.   Do not offload your entire user folder. Do not rely on restoring files from Time Machine; delete only those files you never want to see again.   Do delete or offload seldom use folders/files in your user folder.  Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
Configure Time Machine to backup your offload disk (if you have one);
 > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list. 
Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.

  • System repair/ recovery for Satellite A300

    Hello,
    I m new to this forum, I ve been reading through prior posts to see if anyone has a solution to my problem but none so far.
    I ve had a failure to boot in Win XP yesterday (single OS on my system), where I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing - just a black screen. I had an update for Windows running before this happned, and before that I did perform a backup of all my files - just routine at the time. Power/battery is not a problem. I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options. Ultimately moving the CD/DVD up and even changing the setting of HDD SATA from AHC to compatibility.
    I remove the HDD and connect it to a healthy laptop via connector cable to USB. Looks perfect, no bad sectors or viruses (had an updated NIS on my Toshiba, and Kaspersky on the helper laptop). Anyway I copied my personal files off the HDD to another external HDD, as well as back up files from Toshiba HDD.
    The internal DVD/CD player had not been functional for a year or so, and I had been using an external one via USB.
    I pop in a recovery disc (which I had from Toshiba):
    a- while HDD is in its slot or the second empty slot - no change in situation
    b- while HDD is connected to Toshiba laptop via cable/USB: says Windows is loading files (so it seems to be alive) then goes to a DOS like interface where it says: 
    Waiting for ODD to become available
    ODD ready in drive D
    Checking media in drive D.....
    and just keeps waiting - nothing happens.
    I m sorry for the lengthy explanation, but I do think something had gone wrong with the XP Boot after that last update. I do have the recovery disc, but apparently that too is a no-go at this point. I would opt to try and repair XP (booting) first, but if it comes to it I will be ok formating and installing XP from the recovery disc. I m not sure if I have that option given the whole deal of using an external USB DVD player.
    help please, I ve been at this for a whole day..
    Jonesducklng

    Which Satellite A300? There is a label on the bottom.
    Are you willing to purchase a replacement ODD?
    Do you have a Windows XP installation CD?
    I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options.
    Is there a USB option in that boot priority list?

    > I repair permissions using the Tiger disc upgrade.
    One thing to note...  When running Repair Disk Permissions, it is best to run it while started up normally, from your normal startup disk, not from a Mac OS X installation disc.  The only time you should run it while started up from an installation disc is if some problem is preventing you from starting up normally. OTOH, Repair Disk can only be used when starting up from a different disk (such as an installation disc).
    So, I would start up normally, run Disk Utility, and use Repair Disk Permissions on your normal startup disk.
    NOTE:  Repair Disk Permissions often gives alerts messages that can be ignored.  They are more "informational," not serious errors.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    You should still run it periodically.  When you run it, what needs to be repaired has been repaired; consider the rest of it an FYI.  I've never experience a problem, where a Repair Disk Permissions message actually caused a problem.  But, if you ever get an error while running Repair Disk (or Verify Disk), that is usually a serious problem.

  • Disc repair not an option

    i have been having trouble with disc permissions not completing for a little while, and today i noticed the disc repair stays "grayed out" in the first aid menu. i booted the disc from the install disc (which runs 10.2.4) and the disc repair went through once, corrected a single issue and went through perfectly the second time.
    even so, it doesn't show up when i start it from the hard drive (which runs 10.2.8)
    is this a problem or does it simply indicate that it doesn't need to be run?

    You can't run Repair Disk or any other (reliable)
    disk utility using the program on the drive being
    repaired; you need to boot from a different volume
    (e.g., the OS X Install disk) to repair the hard
    drive. The basic principle is that you can't make
    changes to the drive from which the OS and utility
    program are running at the time. You can run Verify
    Disk using the hard drive's copy of Disk Utility
    while booted from the hard drive.
    When I attempt to run Disk First Aid from the booted OSX install disk, I get the same message. It states that an internal error has occurred and disk Repair has lost contact with the Disk Management Tool. Running DiskWarrior shows no problem.
    What can I do about that?

    Hi Bhima
    Try one of these; it should work:
    1. If you are on SP 14 you would need to upgrade to SP 15. It would work fine
    2. If not, then -
         a] apply note 1070655 - Termination msg CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER =>GET_READ_WRITE_PROVIDS
         b] Apply Correction Instruction 566059 [i.e: in Object - CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER GET_READ_WRITE_PROVIDS,
    delete the block: l_r_alvl = cl_rspls_alvl=>factory( i_aggrlevel = p_infoprov ).
    and insert block - l_r_alvl = cl_rspls_alvl=>factory( i_aggrlevel = i_infoprov ).

  • Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when connected to a Visual C++ application

    Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when
    connected to a Visual C++ application
    I use the RH_ShowHelp API command to connect a HTML Help file
    (.chm file generated by RoboHelp Word X 5) to my Visual C++
    application. My application is able to call up this HTML help file
    in context-sensitive mode and everything is working great in the
    Contents and Index panels EXCEPT when I click on List Topics (after
    I enter a KEYWORD for search) in the Search panel.
    I got an error that said “Unhandled exception in
    xxxx.exe.(HHCTRL.OCX):0xC00000FD: Stack overflow”
    I am able to execute this .chm file by itself and the search
    function works well in this case. I am using HHActiveX.dll that is
    created on 2/23/04. Is this the correct version?? Any advice what
    to do here??

    Hi agschin and welcome to the RH forums. The hhactivex.dll
    file is not used by the search function so you can rule that our.
    Have you tried recompiling and seeing if the problem still happens?
    You can also start the Bug Hunter feature in RH - View > Output
    View and then select the Bug Hunter button - and see if that throws
    up any clues.

    Hi Arnab,
    The expression is checked only for the current MDM session.
    If u login with the ABC language it will always show the ABC language no matter how many times u execute it.
    Try connecting to the DM with the XYZ language.
    It should go to the if part rather than else.

  • HT5361 I have Snow Leopard on my late model IMac. I downloaded Mountail Lion and paid for it from the Mac Store. It will not install. It takes me through several pages and then button to install is greyed out. A message that this disc is used for Time Mac

    I have a late mode IMac 27" running Snow Leopard. I downloaded Mountain Lion from the Apple Store and paid for it. When I trie to install it took me through the first few pages of installation such as agrreeing to terms and the Lion Page showed up asking where I wanted to intall Mountain Lion. The install button was greyed out. I also had a message this disc is used for Time Machine. I had no other disc to choose from. Time Mahine was in the OFF position. I tried hooking up an external drive and tried using it as th Time Machine Backup. That did not work and it also said this disc is used by Time Machine. I have read of several other cases like this but have found no solution other than doinh a complee wipe of the hard drive and doing a reinstall which I really want to avoid if I can.

    Look at the root of your hard drive for a folder called Backups.backupdb.
    Or, a sparse bundle disk image for one of mobile computers that might have tried to back up to your Mac.
    If you have those, remove them and try again.

  • Error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU"

    Hi Experts,
    I'm having these error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU" (message VN041) when I tried to assign a partner function (e.g OA)  in the conditions records for application "EV" (Purchase outline agreement). The system do not allow me to do this for any doc type (LP, LPA, MK, OA, etc). I'm using t-code NACE or MN08.
    I want to assign partner for key combination "Document Type". The conditions is already there but with no value, so I want to assign partner function "OA" or "VR".
    I already check all the configuration and looks fine. For example, define possible partner functions for output type "NEU" for application "EV" (Purc outline agree).
    Hope you can help me to find the problem.
    Thanks,
    Mairo.

    I have the error in NACE or using tcode MN08.
    As soon I executed those transaction the system shows the condition records created for varios Doc Type (e.g LP, LPA, MK, etc) but with no partner function assigned. For example:
    Doc. Type /  Name                     /             Funct  /   Partner     /            Medium  /  Date/time  /   Language
    LP        /       Scheduling Agreement     /  blank  / blank  /                                          2      /          3   /              EN
    LPA      /      Scheduling Agreement                              / blank    / blank   /                1        /       3         /        EN
    For example, I try to assign function "OA" for Doc. Type "LP", choose value from quickpick. Then when I press enter, the system give me the error "You cannot enter a partner function for output NEU", message no. VN041. Do not allow me to continue, so I have to leave this field blank, with no change.
    Thanks,

  • Error message: There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?

    I have been using iPhoto for years.  Today when I tried to upload pictures from camera, I received the above error message.  I select "Repair", enter my password, and then a message "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library" appears. I select "Quit" and it closes iPhoto.  Quit is the only option.  What has happened?  I have tried to access the photos via other avenues such as uploading to gmail, and the photos load fine.  I have about 28,000 photos.
    I do not know what version of iPhoto I am using as I am unable to access the software.  I have a iMac OS X (10.7.5).  What should I do?

    Select the iPhoto application in the Applications folder and type Command+i to bring up its Info Window. There will tell the version number. If it's iPhoto 9 or later apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Down payment functionality for PO with account assignment K Cost Center

    QUESTION: Is there a way to turn-on down payment functionality for cost centers?
    When a vendor down payment is posted via tcode F-47 against a PO line item with INTERNAL ORDER as the account assignment, SAP posted the following documents from the payment run (tcode F110):
    1. Accounting Document
    dr  vendor / GL= downpymt clearing / internal order = IO1234 / cost center = CC5678
         cr  bank           
    2. Controlling Document
    dr internal order IO1234
    However, when a vendor down payment is posted against a PO line item with COST CENTER as the account assignment, SAP does not post any Controlling document, just the accounting document:
    dr  vendor / GL= downpymt clrg / cost center = CC5678
            cr bank
    From my research, it appears that the down payment functionality applies to internal orders and projects only. Then settlement is run to move the values from internal order to AUC assets and/or cost centers. Perhaps I'm missing a configuration step for the cost center piece?
    Your prompt response will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    system wont generate any controlling document for noted items  downpayment and normal payments.
    Because all are balance sheet accounts. Controlling documents will generated for only P&L accounts.
    Your analysis correct.

  • How do I delete documents from my iPad that were added when it ran regular Acrobat, now that it has switched to DC?  The docs are not on the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for non-cloud docs.

    I use an iPad.  It automatically switched me from old-fashioned Acrobat to DC.  How do I delete docs that were put on my iPad with the old Acrobat?  They are not in the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for them.

    Hi,
    By default, Acrobat DC for iOS displays recently viewed files.  You need to switch to other file location (such as Local, Document Cloud, Creative Cloud) to delete, rename, move, or duplicate files.
    You can switch to Local, if you would like to see the files and folders that are locally stored on your iPad.
    Would you take a look at the following document to see how you can switch to other file location and delete files?
