Disk full on Startup volume-disk utility to copy files to a larger volume?

I have my startup volume 20 gig, i have a 40 gig volume on another drive.
OK so i first tried Carbon copy cloner, when i was ready to click the "lock" it asked for my admin password what do i get Authorization Failed error 6008 i think.
OK then i tried SuperDuper, won't even launch!
Then i just went to Disk Utility dragged the source volume to the source,
dragged the destinarion volume to Destination, clicked restore what i get after it asks for my password "RESTORE FAILURE" Couldn't execute helper tool????

Will Restore in Leopard Disk Utility reliably copy a drive with bootcamp?

I have a drive partitioned part OS X and part Bootcamp (with Windows XP installed). If I use Apple's Disk Utility to 'Restore' the drive (to copy the drive to a larger drive) will this work reliably for bootcamp as well as the OS X content? Presumably this just clones the drive?

Once you install MacFUSE you can not use the Startup Disk Utility anymore to boot into Windows, you need to hold the option key every time.
As you stated, NTFS is owned by Microsoft, its their proprietary format and has many different versions of it. I don't think any company has the full right to format NTFS which basically comes down that you can not complain to any of the companies or MS about data loss.
My idea with an image is that I can always read it, so in case the WinClone format or write fails I still have all my files (and not just parts of it). Since I am booted the most amount of time on Mac OS X anyway I don't care that a script creates an entire mirror image of my current Windows drive overnight.
I actually have several basic images that I can always restore in case I want to clean up my drive.

Disk utility recovery of files after deleting from external hard drive?

I had downloaded some files to add to an external hard drive, the hard drive was assigned to a pc before adding these files so it wouldn't let me add files from my MacBook..
Had a look around online and made some changes (well thats what I thought) and I was able to transfer files form my MacBook onto the external hard drive.
What I then figured out was that there was nothing left on the hard drive except for the two file sI just transferred..
It turns out I deleted everyting without noticing.
The stpes I followed was to go to disk utility then select the hard drive and click erase (not knowing this would erase evrything).
So now I have two files on my hard drive and no idea how to recover the 'delted' files.
I tried using Disk Drill, which found the files but then it said I need to buy the full version to recover them.
I am wondering if there is any free methods to recover these files at all, any help is appreciated.

The files are still on the drive, and will remain unless and until you overwrite them with new data. So don't write anything more to the drive in addition to the two files you added after reformatting it, and do download the free trial version(s) of one or more data recovery utilities:
Data Rescue 3: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
FileSalvage 7: http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1
Each is offered in a free demo version that will show you exactly what the full version could recover before you have to pay for anything. There are others on the market, but these are the ones I'm familiar with.
To recover data using any such utility, you must have another drive available on which to save the recovered files. Saving them on the same drive they're being recovered from would just overwrite other files that haven't yet been recovered.

Disk Utility, info.plist file

I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1 MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010), ... i have deleted the info.plist file of Disk Utility, by error ... please help me ... i need this file content

If you are referring to the one in the application package, then you need to reinstall OS X to get it back:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
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.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

When using disk utility to copy one drive to another is it common for the screen to go black

I have a G5 and the main HD is making a little noise. I installed a new HD and was using disk utilities to copy the old to the new. The message came up that it would take 5 hours to copy. The screen went black ... is this common? How do I know it's doing it's thing?

I always set the Energy Saver settings to "never" whenever I do things like volume cloning, software (especially OS) downloading and installing, or using Disk Utility for most anything.

Disk Utility not copying all files when making disk image

My OS is 10.6.5 and everything is up to date.
I have a dvd that was burned for me of a play my child was in. It was probably burned on a PC using out of date software for all I know. But it plays in a DVD player and also in DVD player on my Macbook.
I want to be able to share clips of it online with friends, and that has all been just fine importing from the disk image I created of the DVD using Disk Utility, using IMovie 09 to edit it.
HOWEVER when I got to the end of act one, chapter 7 in the DVD is only about 3 minutes in length. The disk image I created using Disk Utility does NOT include any chapter 7 (which happens to be the ending of Act 1) and so I cannot import it into I Movie in order to add it to my mp4.
When I explore the DVD itself with my macbook, it only lists twelve files (various BUP's and IFO's and VOB's etc) -- here they are sorted by file name
VTS022.VOB
VTS021.VOB
VTS020.IFO
VTS020.BUP
VTS013.VOB
VTS012.VOB
VTS011.VOB
VTS010.IFO
VTS010.BUP
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.BUP
Now, when my husband took the disc and created a .dvdmedia file in it and I explore that, there are 14 files. All of the same 12 files plus two more. (The DVD itself has 13 chapters but the main menu doesn't allow you to select them.)
the other two files in the .dvdmedia package are
VTS020.VOB
VTS010.VOB
But I can't do anything with that .dvdmedia file except watch it.
So I'm trying to figure out how to at least grab even just that last 3 minutes from Act 1 either from the original disc or from the dvdmedia file, using Imovie. So far having no luck. Disk Utility leaves it out and it's my only bridge from a burned DVD to Imovie. I've tried creating a DVD master and also an ISO using DVDRipper and that does the same thing. Also if I open the original burned DVD with Finder it only shows me the 12 files not the 14 that show up when using DVD Ripper to create a dvdmedia file.

For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

Can I partition a drive in Disk Utility without erasing files?

Hello,
According to the third screenshot, I have the option of partitioning an external drive without losing files already on it, but when I try to do so, I only get a message indicating that it will erase the disk: http://osxdaily.com/2009/11/20/resize-partitions-in-mac-os-x-with-disk-utility/
I backuped my internal drive with Time Machine and I would now like to partition it so that only one half is for Time Machine purposes. If it's possible to do that without starting from scratch, if I decide later to eliminate that partition, would that require losing any files?
Thanks.

You may find your answer here. Have a look around.

Disk Utility wont copy TimeMachine to new Drive using Restore

I'm trying to transfer my TimeMachine backups to a new firewire 800 drive from an old USB2 one. Having read the advice on here, I've tried to copy across the drive using restore. Disk Utility thought about it for 4 hours or so and then gave me the finger. So what do I do please?

What TO do. Not what do.

Getting Disk Utility to copy a DVD

I created a DVD copy of a laserdisk on DVD+RW, and it works. I wanted to use my Mac to copy it to a DVD-R for my permanent backup, so I connected my Mad Dog USB drive to my iMac, put in a brand new DVD-R blank in it, and put my movie into my iMac's drive (after telling OS X to do nothing when I insert it).
I opened Disk Utility, read the help, and tried dragging the DVD to the Restore "Source" field. I can't drag it there, and I cannot drag the destination to the "Destination" field.
After some trial and error, I was able to create a new image on my desktop as a .cdr file. But I can't drag it to the source either, and when I look for image, that file is greyed out.
How do I copy this unprotected DVD?

Disk Utility-Warning: SUID file

Every time I run Disk Utility it repairs a few items then give this warning:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Any ideas?

Ok I have the same suid message no concern there. But having added and additional hard drive to my G5 and modified permissions running disk utility gives the following:-

So I guess my question is do I ignore these too, are they nothing to worry about.? I hope apple gets around to updating disk utility to fix this issue then there wont be so many posts on the topic...
Thanks

Disk Utility to copy CD to CD

I'm having a very hard time trying to copy a CD to a CD. I want to make an exact duplicate of a CD with the same file structure which I believe has 2 partitions. Is there an easy way to do this within the Disk Utility feature? I'm a recent switcher from windows to mac, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I keep making coasters. Please help.

Panther and Tiger both are the most efficient, stable achievement of Mac OS X.
Tiger has even more more features and hidden goodies, it is also quicker to boot and to install, with a better, easier install DVD.
There is also this good feeling, that it is enhanced all the time by developers, when Panther will probably get no (or very few) new updates in the future.
Tiger of course will always run the latest versions of Apple applications (but sometimes one can prefer an older version for some reason).
Spotlight makes a huge difference in how you organize your files: Panther for that matter belongs to the good old past of arranging and organizing your files, folders, work in general, by hand. With Tiger's Spotlight, you can even be negligent and messy, and still be able to find anything easily, among your files, folders and mails.
And Panther's better and easier search feature (Find ⌘F) exists as third-party apps anyway.
If you just need a reliable Operating System to run some applications, and care more about your work than about the OS itself, then Panther is already great.
If you just strongly feel like trying Tiger, if you keep on thinking of it often, well buy it. You won't regret it IMO.

1 more time: I installed Samsung 840EVO SSD and tried to clone the OEM drive to it. Disk Utility shows all files landed in the new SSD thru the USB to SATA converter cable yet my Mac won't boot. Why's that?

The question is why won't my Mac boot with the new 840EVO SSD that I thought I'd successfully cloned all contents from the OEM hard drive by using a USB to SATA converter cable. Disk Utility seemed to indicate the SSD had captured everything from the OEM drive. Note the OEM had 2 partitions to run Parallels Windows XP

XP is not supported externally or if you install Mavericks, and Microsoft is trying their hardest t o get people off that old tin can, rightly so.
Usually Carbon Copy Cloner will. Usally. DU is not really meant to and you had 4 partitions before.
This forum is not for MacBook Pro btw.
Cloning with DU or CCC may do a perfect job but not be bootable if t he interface or case is not.
The EVO is capable of 500MB/sec so even your mid-2010 MBP is not going to get the top performance but should be better once you swap it out than what you were using.

Will repair disk utility delete all files on harddrive?

I have a "Mac OS X Install Disc 1 2008 Apple Inc." disk. Will this get me to the Disk Utility?
Will my harddrive be, mostly, unchanged or will it delete all?
Any other advice would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Mostly unchanged. Back up the data anyway.
Since you're running Lion, restart with the Option key held down, tab to its recovery partition, and use the Disk Utility from there.

Using Disk Utility to copy Application DVD or Cd's

I've always used Toast to make a copy of a software CD or DVD that I've purchased. I store these offsite. Some DVD DL (6-7GB) have problems in Toast. I've started to use Disk Utility - Disk Image. The question I have is should I use read only or DVD/CD master?
Before you ask, the license policy on most/some software allow the purchaser to do this.

1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.
