Disk error on macbook pro

Hey! I have a macbook pro, and I searched skype help and found this:

The link shows the exact problem I'm encountering, but the list only concerns Windows, not MacBooks. 
I'd be very much appreciative if someone could help me, please and thank-you.

  • Stop the beeps with the 7200 rpm hard disks of the MacBook Pro

    http://www.hardmac.com/news/2009/07/13/stop-the-beeps-with-the-7200-rpm-hard-dis ks-of-the-macbook-pro
    Stop the beeps with the 7200 rpm hard disks of the MacBook Pro
    from HardMac.com by [email protected] (Lionel)
    At the beginning of week, we have spoken about the unpleasant beeps made by the 7200 rpm hard drive proposed as an option in the MacBook Pro 2009.
    A solution has been found, the details are given by Rémy.
    These tedious beeps occur when the disc is inactive and are caused by a system
    to reposition the play-back head carried out in a repetitive way.
    In addition to the beeps of the hard drive, Mac OS X displays the pretty multicoloured wheel during some seconds while waiting for hard drive to finish these loadings and unloadings of the play-back head.
    The solution comes with a utility of the name hdapm (for Hard Disk Advanced Power Management) which makes it possible to change the level of energy management (APM) of the hard drive.
    Hdapm can be downloaded from : http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm; hdapm being a command line utility, it is thus necessary to use the Terminal (which is in /Applications/Utilitaires).
    After copying hdapm into your user file, the command to enter is:
    sudo ~/hdapm disk0 max
    disk0 corresponds to the disc to regulate knowing that hdapm should function with any ATA disk supporting APM
    max is the level of APM which is a number ranging between 1 and 254 included
    the word following are preset and can used in the place a number for the level of APM
    max (maximum performance) is the parameter to use to eliminate the “beeps”.
    min (maximum economy of energy)
    default (returns to the default setting)
    The level of APM is a temporary adjustment in the firmware of the hard drive, this adjustment is lost when the disk is powered down and it is thus necessary to redo this at each for each start up.
    To install hdapm so it is launched at each start-up, it is necessary to copy hdapm to the hard drive (/usr/local/bin is advised) and to copy the file hdapm.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
    It will be can be necessary to you to edit hdapm.plist with the desired parameters; the default settings are: the repertory where hdapm is /usr/local/bin, the hard drive is regulated on the first (disk0) and the level of APM is the maximum.
    You can simply copy the file hdapm into /usr/local/bin file if you want to avoid modifying Plist.
    Simplest way to reach these files is to use the Go/go to the file and to copy/paste this address before validating.

    Yeah, I don't buy that. I spoke with Seagate a couple of months ago when I was looking for the impossible to find 500 GB 7200 RPM HD and asked them that very thing. They told me it would work fine, but I should disable SMS. Apple told me the same thing. I ultimately waited and got a non G-Force model, but Seagate told me it would work.
    I also don't believe that they'd OEM the drive to Apple knowing it wouldn't work. That makes absolutely no sense. If Seagate knew the G-Force drive would not function properly in an Apple MacBook/MacBook Pro, and they OEM'd it to Apple for that purpose anyway, what does that say about Seagate?
    I admit it's odd that the used the G-Force model given the presence of SMS, but apparently Seagate has prioritized the manufacturing of the G-Force drives and probably offered it to Apple.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

    Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

    At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
    Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
    Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

    Thanks. According to my previous experience with an old white macbook, there might exist some compatibility problems for the hardware I bought from computer parts store...That's why I want to find an official retail store or reseller.... Thanks anyway!

    When I plug the Lacie external disk to my Macbook pro, my computer turns off. Whats wrong?

    Something certainly is wrong.  Do not plug the external HHD in the MBP.  Male an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and bring the Lacie with you.

  • The disk image "Name Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use Try ejecting the disk image

    I upgraded my Mountain Lion two weeks ago and I've experienced number of issues since then.
    Now I have problem with the Time Machine.
    When I try to create backup I'm keep getting following message:
    "The disk image "MyName Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use
    Try ejecting the disk image"
    The problem is that Time Machine seem to be ejected, I checked this both in Finder and Disk Utility.
    Please could you possibly help me with the issue?
    I work on 2010 Macbook Pro

    Try the following:
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try another backup

  • HT1428 Log into FileVault gives error on disk try again later. This is only account on system how do I log in to do disk repair. MacBook Pro running lion

    Only have 1 account on MacBook Pro. Protected by FileVault. Log in  says your home folder didn't open. It needs repaired. We click ok. Unable to login to account at this time.  Account failed because error occurred.   Everything I have read so far has me doing things from the finder but I can't get into the program. This happened after I did an update last night  and it asked to restart system. I have it backed up on external drive through time machine but I can't get in to use it.

  • Time Machine error: The backup disk image "/Volumes/----/----MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use and resource unavailable?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2010 model running Mountain Lion. I have always been able to use Time Machine with my Time Capsule. Just today I have been receiving the same error message whenever I would back up my computer:
    I removed my name before "MacBook Pro". It takes a long time "Looking for backup disk..." first. The disk I put with the time capsule is called Huge Backup, and in Huge Backup there is my sparsebundle file called "----- MacBook Pro." When I open Finder, open my time capsule, and then open my sparse folder, it should mount a drive where I can see my computer's backups. That doesn't work. Then I get this message:
    I once again removed my name before "MacBook Pro" but I can open my sister's sparsebundle who is running Mountain Lion on the same network and her backups work fine. I have researched this topic and have tried to repair the disk in Disk Utility, remount all the drives, remove the drive and restart the backups, and even restart my computer and the Time Capsule. Nothing worked. It just was working yesterday, but now I get this in the settings along with a caution symbol in my menubar:
    Is there anything I could do to fix this? Reconnecting it in AirPort Utility (5 or 6) didn't work. Also, for some reason, the error renamed Huge Backup to Huge Backup-1 as you can see above and below in the messages. I downloaded the Time Machine Buddy widget and this is the error report I got. I replaced my names or private info with [-----]. By the way, the network is called NDR Network, and the Time Capsule is alled NDR Time Capsule. Here's the error I keep getting:

  • "Error Disk too Slow" Macbook Pro 2011 - Maverick and Yosemite - The Great Grand Mystery Unfolds!!!

    Hey everybody,
    Logic Pro X user here, have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, upgraded to 16gb of ram, 2.8ghz intel core i7, running latest version of Mavericks and more recently on a separate partition I tried Yosemite with a  clean install of only Logic Pro X.
    I use Apogee Quartet as my audio interface, I have a OWC Mercury Elite Firewire 800 external drive that I record to, all LPX files are on my internal drive.
    Before Mavericks I had 0 issues with this setup, no with just one sole drummer track, or one single audio or software track, I get the various disk too slow errors after a few seconds.
    I have tried reinstalling LPX, I tried a clean partition with nothing but Logic Pro on it (both Mavericks and Yosemite).
    I have reset my PRAM and used Apple Hardware diagnostics as well as memtest (i think it was called) and even reverted back to my old original RAM that came with the computer.  All hardware tests passed, I have verified and repaired disks from disk utility as well as from the recovery partition.
    I have worked with Apple a bit over the phone doing these things, I have also read just about every thread on this pervasive issue.  And its ruining my experience as a user.  I absolutely loved Logic on Mountain Lion, no issues whatsoever! I'm considering reverting back to it actually.
    On a side note I also have a HDMI Tv connected through the thunderbolt display, and a self powered USB hub that I connect my wireless mouse, iPhone cable and WD MY passport drive (which I only use for Time Machine).
    I'm basically at my wits end and open to anybodies suggestions, I even tried resting the SMC and several other things advised in these forums.
    I'm Stil under Apple Care and wondering if going into them is my only hope left.
    I find that garageband acts the same, but I have no other system issues! its so bizarre, performance on all other programs is totally fine, its only when I want to record that I get issues.
    For the record I do have some 3rd party VTS (Arturia V collection, EZ drummer 2 and AMplitube) but when I did the clean partition they weren't there and I still had the disk to slow error, so I'm not convinced its because of those.
    Also Since the partition I obviously have played with my storage but I still have 75 gas of space on the mavericks partition (out of 500gb ) and on Yosemite partition I have 125 gbs available and on my Firewire external drive I have about 150gb left on a 500gb drive, so I'm not convinced its a space issue either (especially since before Mavericks Mountain Lion seemed to work just fine.)
    HELP! Please help...I'm so exhausted trying to fix this on my own, and admittedly I've run to the end of my own capacity and don't know where to go from here.
    Thank you for any suggestions, sorry for the long post, and if I have left anything out please let me know, this is my first post.

    And yes I did upgrade my apogee drivers to the recent ones they just released.
