"Disk Need Repair" Using HDD External with USB Hub

I try to connect disk and open Utility to repair but it's same problem. How do I solve this problem?

Sorry but I don't know what the problem is.. which makes it hard to help.
Is the computer passing the tests on the external drive when plugged in but it still shows errors when plugged into the TC?? Try using a different powered hub.. that is really important even with external drive that is powered. Not all powered hubs are recognised by the TC.
Try plugging in a USB memory stick formatted fat32 and see if it works.
Otherwise if you are trying to recover files use a utility like data rescue 3..

'Disk Needs Repair' warning on base station w/ Hitachi 2TB USB Drive

Trying to use my new 2TB USB Hitachi XL Desk Drive (mac formatted) on my extreme base station. Drive works perfectly on my MacBook Pro but when I plug it in to the base station both with & without a powered usb hub, airport utility says 'Disk Needs Repair' & amber light flashes. Disk shows up in utility as a 1.8TB Hitachi but disk title is not listed. Other drives work just fine on the base station. Not sure what else to try at this point.

Connect the drive back to your MacBook Pro.
Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on your drive on the left side of the window to highlight it, then click Repair Disk over on the lower right of the window. May take 30-90 minutes or so depending on how much data is on the drive.
You may also need to click Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility as well.
IF...you are using the drive for Time Machine backups, Apple does not support backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. You will have issues if you try this.

Booting with DVD problem!!! Disk needs repair

Hello,
Ran disk utility and I got the «disk needs repair» error. Please boot from install DVD
Okay no panic I try to do it.
First try holding C key and with the snow leopard DVD (retail not the one I got with the computer) = failure keeps me on the apple window
Tried it with the DVD I got with the macbook pro while holding the C key again = faileure keeps me on the apple window
The computer works fine except it tends to bog down
I'm running lion and my macbook pro is less than a year old
I also have Norton antivirus (because YES there are viruses again - anyway norton told me there were when I scanned my HD a while back -). I tried disabling it totally and tried the same things but to no avail...
Can anyone help? Have I overlooked something obvious? Or is somehting more complicated necessary?
Thanks in advance

If you've installed Lion, the 10.6 disk won't help you. You need to hold down Command-R during boot to bring up Lion recovery ... you can then run Disk Utility.
Oh, and agree with Allan, dump Norton. If you want an antivirus, install ClamXav from http://www.clamxav.com

Time Capsule - Internal disk need repair message

Hey.
Got TC -2 TB version with latest firmware.
was used to be my media server.....formally
now it's just white box...
suddenly one night , wasnt able to connect to TC, on check green light was active..
but wasnt communicating and internet was down.
did restart- power down and up.
after that HDD not showing in finder window at all, and airport shows "internal disk need repair" tried few things but no luck
any idea to recover datat, how reliable is diskwarrior, data recovery softwares. can they see unmounted disk at all????
help.

All hard disks have stated MTBF.. Mean Time Between Failures.. but that is Mean ie average.. some disks go early and some go seemly forever.. but 50% of the disks will be dead at the MTBF point.
A TC that is only 7 months old is under warranty.. Apple will replace the TC for you. They will not recover data.
If you have data on the TC it should only be Time Machine backups which means they are not important if you immediately make a new backup to another target disk. If you copied files to the TC without making backup you are very naughty.. you broke the rules.. that you never ever trust files to a single location. Now you have to pull apart your TC voiding the warranty (although if you do it carefully who is to know).. remove the hard disk and attempt recovery.. !! It is usually a simple loss of format.. tools like mentioned above can fix that and recover the files.. if not you send the drive to a data recovery centre where your data is mangled and recovered as best as they can do.. at a cost of around.. $500-1000 depending on size and problems.. get a quote first.

I have repaired startup disk in disk utility but still get message saying startup disk needs repair, help.

I am on a macbook pro running the latest version of yosemite. I was going to use Onyx to clean it, but I got a message stating that my startup disk needs repair. I command R went to disk utility to verify and repair and the disk was fine. However, I still get the same message when using Onyx. What should I do? Should I command R and reinstall? Will the fact that my startup disk needs repair cause a problem?

Thank you @EricRoot, I think you may be correct. I don't get that message with other programs. However, I did locate files on my computer taking up way too much space...

Is snow leopard usb backup drive access much much quicker using firewire than with usb 2.0 ?

is snow leopard usb backup drive access much much quicker using firewire than with usb 2.0 ?

I migrated from a USB2 external hard drive (when it failed) to the Firewire 800 and have not looked back. I also sync from that primary drive to a secondary backup drive (still USB2). Everything I do with the firewire drive is significantly faster than USB2.

False Disk Needs Repair?? Help Please!

Every maintenance app I have (MacPilot, Onyx..) keeps telling me my disk needs repair BUT when I put in my install cd and go into disk utility and do a verify disk it says my volume is okay... I am confused.
I can not run a verify disk with disk utility however, when logged on. It goes unresponsive and I have to force quit.
Also if I try to run a verify permissions while under disk utility running on the install cd, I get an error that there is no catalog??
Any help would be greatly appreciated before I make The Call for help.

I booted up to my install disk and ran disk utility verify disk and it passed.
My problems however have multiplied since my first post beyond getting that "volume needs minor repair"... my Pioneer optical drive won't read my install disk (spits it out) or any dvd formats, it only reads music cds at this point.
In fact it stopped cold reading in the middle of running disk utility from my install disk. I had to power down and power up just to get the disk out.
Methinks I have a problem requiring a trip to the Apple store.. ugh.
I always backup daily, with Time Machine and another backup program, just in case this happens.

Airport Utility says "Internal disk needs repairs".

I've had my Time Capsule for quite a while, and never had any problems with it. I keep my iTunes library on it, which is around 130GB of music. Recently, I had my iPod that held all my music had a hard-drive problem and I had to get it replaced and haven't received the new one yet. So the only place my music library is is on the Time Capsule. Lately it had been giving me problems while I was copying files in iTunes to it, and would disconnect in the middle, but when I unplugged it and plugged it in again (resetting did nothing) it would be fine until I was copying files to it again. Today, it did this multiple times, and then Airport Utility popped up saying the "internal disk needs repairs". I've read other people who had this problem, but the only thing I can find is that they had to erase it and then it was fine. I have the music library backed up on CDs from a few months ago, but I would really prefer to have the complete one as it stands now. Is there any way for me to fix this problem without erasing the entire hard-drive? I want those files!

Welcome to the discussions!
Open your Hard Drive and look for your Time Capsule on the left under the SHARED heading.
Click the TC icon and a TC folder will display to the right.
Double click this folder to display the xxxx.sparsebundle files that contain all of your backups.
Double click on the xxxx.sparsebundle file for your computer. If a window pops up with a "skip" option, click "skip". A white disk image of your backups will appear on your desktop in a few minutes.
Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Select your backup image in Disk Utility and click Verify
Depending on how large your backup is, it may take hours for Disk Utility to check your disk
If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair to see if that will fix the issues.

7.5.2 Firmware Update causing Ambar Flashing / Internal Disk needs Repair

I just updated my firmare to 7.5.2 on my 2TB TimeCapsule, and after a couple of days my access to the TimeCapsule feature stopped working because I got a message theta says: "internal disk needs repair".
I been noticing that a lot of people here, in the forum, are having the same problems. I have tried downgrading to a previous version of the firmware to no avail. It's really dissapointing because there really you can do but wait for a solution from Apple, because you information is being held hostage until there is a solution. If any body has a better solution please help!!!!

FMPENA27, welcome to the discussion area!

Yes that is your best bet. Without looking at it too closely double check your options here:

Am i able to connect 40 iPads with USB hub(Powered) to iTunes (Windows) and Sync?

Dear Apple Support,
I would like to ask about can i connect 40 iPads with (USB Hub(Powered) able to support up to 127 Devices) to iTunes(Windows) and Sync all with same Apps?
Regards,
Xentrino

Okay... I've just found the solution. It's really simple, just plug the phone to the MacBook, fire up iTunes, check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" option, make sure all the other options are not checked, and just sync. Voila! my iPhoto library is now in the palm of my hand.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
