Disk repair not repairing

Having an issue with disk repair not repairing permissions. I've run it four times and each time the same set of incorrect permissions show up. Is there a plist I can trash to try to get this to work?

The logic for the last ten years of owning Macs said that running permissions repair twice would insure everything was cleaned up and corrected. Maybe that only applies to PPC Macs. In any case I downloaded Onyx and spruced things up with it, thx for that suggest. Oh, and most of the repeat permissions probs ARE Java-related. We'll call this answered, but none of my other Macs ever took more than about three minutes to run a permissions repair. This thing takes eight.
Thx again for all the help.

  • Disk Repair, not repaired

    I've been having some problems with my G5 and thought I'd do a disk repair from the start up disk (also, I may be upgrading to 10.5.3 and always do this repair before an OS upgrade)
    After running Disk Utility to repair the start up disk, I received this at the end of the cycle.
    "Repair attempts on 2 volumes
    1 HFS volume repaired
    1 volume could not be repaired"
    What do I do next? I've run this twice and get the same report.
    My G5 has been freezing quite a bit lately and the only way to get rid of the SBBOD is by forcing shut down. Something I don't like to do.
    Thank you
    Connie

    Hhmm... I'm not sure what "volume" couldn't be repaired. All that was indicated on the Disk Utility after the disk repair was what I wrote in my original post.
    The G5 has 4 partitions ("user accounts", I believe that is what a partition is)
    When you partition a disk, you divide it into independent pieces, each of which the MacOS will treat as a separate "volume" (in effect, a separate disk drive). The left side of the Disk Util window shows what drives & volumes you have. At the top of the list, flush left, is an entry identifying the physical disk. Below that, indented a bit, you'll find one or more entries identifying the volumes on that drive; the first is usually named "Macintosh HD". Below those you'll see an entry for your physical optical drive (again, flush left).
    So, the question is: between the entries for your hard & optical drives, how many indented entries do you have? If you only have one, no problem. (FYI... Disk Util hides the entry for the Open Firmware partition/volume I mentioned earlier. Sometimes it fails to ignore it when doing Repair Disk & produces a spurious error.)
    I started with that before doing an Archive and Install - While on the
    subject, would you please remind me on that... Do I need to go back to the
    original OS (10.3)? and then reinstall the updates after that? Seems that
    is the case, if I remember properly. Its done only from the original install
    disks, correct?
    No. You can only do an Archive & Install with the same major version (e.g. 10.5.x) - you can't regress from 10.5 to 10.3. In any case, you wouldn't want to. If your problems persist and they can't be pinned on hardware issues, you may eventually have to do an Erase & Install (after doing a backup), but you'd still want to start with your 10.5 upgrade.

  • Previous system folders hav 10gb on an 80mb disk  could not repair vol

    I'm trying to install Virtual PC. It seems to hang and the reason I suspect is there isn't enough disk space. Can I delete the previous system folders? I shouldn't need them for anything I can think of. There are two of them 5gb each.
    I have another problem I ran disk repair and it said one vol could not be repaired in red but it did say 1 vol was repeaired. I'm not sure what this means since there should only be one vol on my hard drive? When I ran disk repair I got the following messages:
    Checking HFS+ vol
    checking Extents overflow file
    checking catalog file
    Reserved words in catalog record incorrect data
    checking multi-linked files
    checking catalog hierarchy
    checking extended attributes
    Invalid leaf record count should be 6706 not 549
    checking vol bitmap
    checking vol info on Mac HD
    Repairing vol
    the vol was repaired
    1 HFS vol repaired
    1 vol not repaired
    I have MySQL Server and PHP installed. I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I need VPC to run and I need space to install Windows on the Mac HD but I'm wondering why disk repair could not repair 1 vol and why it thinks there were two volumns.
    thanks in advance,

    Is there a second partition for Virtual PC, or other use?
    In Disk Utility, each partition should be listed below the main line (with the Drive name/size).
    If there are two (or more) then you have multiple volumes.
    The one named "Mac HD," that was repaired, is almost certainly your boot volume, so look at the other(s).
    See what the format of each is, by clicking on it and looking at the bottom. If it's not some flavor of Mac OS Extended, then DU likely can't repair it.

  • External hard drive error / disk utility not repairing

    I am having problems with a particular external hard drive. Device is a Transcend StoreJet 25M (640GB) currently formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It was previously formatted in FAT32, exFat, and also Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It started giving me problems when I used it to store all my music on it. My iTunes library and music files were all stored on it, and at one point iTunes started acting funny - it would play a song for a few seconds, pause, play for a further few seconds, pause again, and so forth. I decided to stop using it and when I shifted the iTunes library to the Mac internal hard drive and the music file into another external hard drive, iTunes worked fine. So I figured it must be a problem with the external hard drive itself.
    I recently reformatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and transfered some data on to it (include a back up of the music folder). I noticed that Spotlight keeps trying to index the drive but never actually managed. Times indicated for indexing runs into days. The hard drive tends to be slow to load files expecially when there are multiple folders and tiers, and is generally unreliable. It occasionally unmounts, or when I try to unmount it I get an error saying it cannot unmount because it is being used (but no indication as to which app is using it even if all apps are closed except for Finder).
    I tried repairing it using disk utility. The attached image shows the results. It seems that it can't be repaired by disk utility. At this point, and after much deliberation, I would have to questions:
    1. Should I just smash the thing on the floor?
    2. Is there another application I could try and repair it with?
    3. Even though I have reformatted it several times, it keeps giving me the same problem. When I do a disk verification of the hard rive itself it all seems fine, however when I do a disk verification or repair of the volume I get the error shown in the image. Is this a problem being caused during formatting?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Oh, I forgot to attach image....

  • DisK Utility Not Repairing Permissions

    Hello, I have a problem with my iMac.
    The problem is as following: I cannot repair permission using Disk Utility.
    What happened first was that I wanted to install a program from a mounted drive, however a Pop up occurred and said the framework of installer was incorrect.
    After that, I went to Disk Utility and clicked repair permissions when a Pop up like this came up:
    http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/2582/picture1mt4.png
    What is the problem?
    Thank you for any help,
    Daniel

    -are you running Disk Utility from the HD or booted to the instal disk?
    -what are the affected files?
    If the file(s) was not installed by the mac OS X installer, Repair Permissions will not fix the issue
    Tip:
    If the files are located in your home folder,
    boot to instal disk#1,
    choose Reset Password Utility from the menu bar
    and "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs".
    .

  • Disk Permissions not repaired

    I run Disk Utility>First Aid>Repair Disk Permission every couple of weeks. Until recently running this utility has cleared all repairs. But now I am getting a list of repairs that doesn't "clear" (meaning that the next time I run Repair Disk Permissions, the same list appears again. This has been associated with iTunes and iPhoto running slower than they have in the past. The list (see below) seems to refer mostly to Front Row, iTunes and iPhoto.

    Permissions repair complete

    I have exactly the same issue. I have 100 plus of those same errors showing up all involving iPhoto, iTunes & Front Row. No matter what I do, I cannot get rid of the errors. Doing an archive & install is a last resort for me. I have not yet tried the 10.5.6 combo reinstall yet either.
    What I have done so far:
    1.Soft boot repair permissions & restarting.
    2.Regular boot or restart, repaired permissions and restarting.
    3.Ran the install disc verify disk and repair permissions settings. Disk results are always green - no problems. The exact same errors show up on the disc when repairing permissions & remain there without disappearing
    4.Ran Diskwarrior. All green. Graph 0% out of order.
    5.Ran Techtool Deluxe. All clear.
    I never get the permissions has been repaired. It's always, permissions repair completed. Well, what exactly did it complete? Sure isn't repairing.
    I am going to give Apple Care a call. I paid for it, might as well get my monies worth!! Will post their solution here _*IF IT WORKS.*_

  • Disk Utility Not Repair Permissions on OS 10.4- Are there other options?

    How can I repair repair HD permissions when disk utility does not work? I have a powerpc g4 that I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged and as a result something affected my boot on my main drive. I removed the 2nd hard drive, reset pram, nvram, and would not boot. Tried the usual reset commands and no boot up. (gets to the gray block screen instructing to restart and stops). Restarted trying to get to safe mode by holding down "shift" key but only gets to blue screen and goes no further with spinning circle looking for something. Used my os x install disk and tried disk utility and s.m.a.r.t indicated was ok and ran repair disk and passed with no problems with the file structure. Then ran disk permissions and disk utility would not run or would not complete. I left the computer on overnight to see if it would repair the permissions.  Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option and restarted and the computer booted up. The desktop came up looking like the old one but most items would not work properly and very slow or would close automaticly.  Looked in system information and found spaces between items. I closed the computer down by restart again to see if it would correct the problem but went back to gray screen instructing a reboot. Reboots brought me back to the same gray screen. Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced? Where do I go from here....thanks

    I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged
    What makes you think this? It's not very often that a new hard drive is defective out of the box. More likely is that it was connected improperly. Don't jump to conclusions without evidence.
    Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option
    What? No such thing. Do you mean Archive & Install?
    Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced?
    If Disk Utility says the drive is good, then we have to assume that's true. It appears that you've somehow corrupted your entire OS X installation, so whether or not you have a backup from before this happened, your best option now is to completely erase that hard drive and reinstall OS X from scratch, along with all the Software Updates to bring it to 10.4.11, as well as your third-party applications.
    Then, if that doesn't work, that may be an indication of a drive problem, or even a system hardware problem.
    To prevent this kind of thing from happening again, you need to invest in at least one external backup drive to use for a bootable backup of your entire hard disk, and keep it updated every day before you shut down your Mac. You can use SuperDuper ($27.95) or Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware) for those.

  • Permissions Repair Not Repairing the Permissions that it Claims

    I have a server that went down, and I successfully archived everything [necessary] on the System partition using "sudo cp -R". I copied this over to a different HDD, and used the migration assistant to restore data during installation. This effectively copied everything that I needed to recover from this server.
    Understandibly, I had lots of permissions errors, and attempted to repair them using Disk Utility while booted in the OS. This fixed most permission errors, but when I verified again, it pulled up more errors. Repaired permissions again, and again but Disk Utility still claimed that the same files needed to be repaired. I booted to my install drive and tried repairing permissions through Disk Utility multiple times, but it still pulls up the same errors.
    Most of these errors are that the 'd' flag is missing at the beginning of the file mode for files matching:  /System/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/LockScreen.app/Contents /Resources/*.lproj/MainMenu.nib
    Other errors are .nib files in the ARDAgent.app, but there are fewer numbers of these.
    I assume it's pretty bad if a file is supposed to be a directory but isn't, so what can I do about this? We use Remote Desktop quite a bit, so any deviation in the way it works can be pretty prohibitive.
    Thanks in advance

    The structure of some packages changed in an update. Unless you have an actual problem running Apple Remote Desktop, ignore those messages.
    Running the repair permissions function repeatedly won't change or fix anything.

  • HT1339 disk not repairable

    Hi my ipod classic says this when plugged in "the disk was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible".  I have tried to remedy this by restoring it to its factory setting, but have not been successful... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    What about actually performing a low level reformat of the iPod's Hard Disk using Disk Utility?  See this article for instructions on how to do this.

  • HD not repairable

    I'm afraid I made a biiig mistake! Leopard crashed WHILE Bootcamp was creating ther partition. I never used Bootcamp with Tiger but I wanted to try it - how stupid. Leopard crashed (total freeze) and I had to restart. Naturally I was worried about the hard disk, so I ran disk utility and it says the disk is not repairable (volume count not as it should be). Do I have to migrate all my data, erase and then remount the image? Is there any other way to repair the disk?
    Thx for any assistance.
    antonio

    Antonio, if the drive is still operating sufficiently stably to let you back it up to an external disk, then I would simply do so, and then reformat the internal drive and restore from the backup.
    Diskwarrior may be able to help, but problems of the kind you mention , at the partition, rather than directory level, are really best dealt with by a reformat in my view, rather than through the use of a utility.
    Even if you do use Diskwarrior in a situation like this you should make a full back-up anyway, so you don't really gain much of a time saving by using Diskwarrior. Given the fact that DiskWarrior still hasn't been properly updated for use with Leopard I'd be inclined to avoid it for the present.
    Cheers

  • Disk Problems, OSX partition will not repair is Windows CHKDSK the culprit?

    Hi,
    I have both Snow Leopard (fully updated) and Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition on my MacBook Pro.
    Repairing Permissions on my Mac OS 10.6.4 partition had become a very regular with 'Java' permission problems always seeming to be a very regular and common one.
    Anyhow, I thought it appropriate and logical to run the WIndows 7 equivalent of disk-verify/disk-repair/permission-repair and therefore run CHKDSK at 'CMD' level and this appeared to run accordingly without problems.
    At some point/days later, my Mac OS appeared to be slow and having a lot of spinny-ball, therefore verified Macintosh HD volume-disk with Disk Utility and showed to have lots of problem. Disk Utility Repair has failed having tried it many times and not even Drive Genius 3 is able to repair or rebuild it on this occasion however I was able to run a 'Scan' on it from Drive Genius 3 and it reported thankfully that there was NO bad blocks.
    The error thats returned repeatedly when doing a repair is "Incorrect number of thread records" which is reported immediately after "Checking Catalog File"
    Not keen on the thought of having to format, re-install and then re-setup the system even from a Super-Duper backup copy that I had made previously (minus some data since).
    However, my questions are:
    1. Is it possible that the Windows 7 'CHKDSK' command may have possibly caused this despite the fact that it would have or should have only performed it's operations on the BOOTCAMP disk partition?
    2. Is it possible to reformat and restore any previously backed-up images to a single disk partition _without upsetting the other Partition and OS_ residing on it (albeit on the same overall physical disk), i.e. Restoring my Mac OS X SuperDuper backup image back onto the current Mac partition... and would the same apply if ever having to restore a Windows 7 Acronis backup image back onto the current BOOTCAMP partition.
    3. Would there be another alternative before a drastic reformat and recovery of the Mac OSX partition (if that's even possible without affecting BOOTCAMP - from question 2 above)
    Advice would be much appreciated, many thanx.

    At the time I had run the 'CHKDSK' command from within Windows, from the 'Run' command prompt located within the Start Menu.
    Fortunately I still have the previous HDD that originally came with the MacBook Pro before I upgraded the internal drive some time ago and therefore I have been able to boot externally from this and continue to do so until I've decided what to do, which looks like a recovery from the previous super-duper backup will be inevitable.
    I guess I'm unlikely to come across any software or fix that will be capable of correcting the 'faulty number of thread records' being reported after the 'Checking Catalog File' disk repair check routine, however if I find a solution then I'll post it here, otherwise an eventual recovery/install it is.
    Under Fortuny's revelation, I will procede with MacDrive with caution and probably disable it if ever running a Windows CHKDSK again (if indeed this is the underlying cause of the problem). And under your advise 'The hatter' I shall certainly look into the Windows system file checker alternative, thanks.

  • Gray screen on start up and not able to repair hard disk and not able to take back up.

    My macbook pro bought in early 2011 with snowleopard software and than upgraded to lion is now running on system 10.7.5 .
    My problem is i get a gray screen on startup with apple logo and spinning ball.
    I tried all the solutions mentioned in the apple support for "gray screen appears during start up". This Disk utility says that the Hard disk cant be repaired.
    Before i format my disk and erase all data and install Mac os x again, i want to take back up on a external hard disk. I bought a new 2tb external hard disk so that i can take a back up.
    As i try to take the backup of the image, it gives me an error "cannot allocate memory"
    i tried to change the configuration from compressed to read/write and tried different encrption methods but unable to take backup.
    i sometimes get error "input/output".
    how do i take a backup. somebody please help

    See OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup. If you need to reinstall OS X, then do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing 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.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    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
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Disk Utility - get errors and disk utility can not repair, even start ext.

    Hello
    I am using Mac OS X 10.5 on a MacBook Pro intel 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, Intel and Boot Camp / Win XP installed.

    Because it can not repair the errors I have started "repair disk". It says "can not unmount Macintosh HD". Even if I have started from the external disk?
    So I get my install CD (Mac OS X 10.5) and started from that. I got the same errors with that disk utility.
    Can someone tell me, if this are "right" errors or do I have to try more to repair this errors? My computer is running fine.
    I am a bit irritated now.
    Best regards

    Way back in Jaguar Disk Utility would pop up dozens of "advisory" messages of no interest nor meaning to anyone except possibly some programmers. This needlessly alarmed regular users. The same thing is happening again in Leopard. The SUID messages are not meaningful nor are they errors, in effect they are announcements that some list being consulted by the utility says one thing, the actual files say something else, Disk Utility is going to assume there is a reason for actual setting and not going to change it, but you (it's kind of assuming you are the programmer) should know this. If the "Die Zugriffssteuerungsliste" is German for ACL (Access Control List) it is the same deal: an ACL was found, but no one told Disk Utility there was suppose to be one.
    If the messages bother you download the whole 110MB 10.5.1 update and run it. It quiets down the output for all the SUID statements save one. Might even shut down the ACL advisories--don't know because I haven't bothered to download 110MBs of updater, I just ran the patch update.

    I have received an error message relating to an attached USB hard drive (not a back up and not Time Capsule) advising that "disk name" cannot be repaired. Back up your data and reformat. When I attempted to verify the disk with Disk Utility, I was advised that the disk could not be unmounted. What can I do to repair the disk?

    You need something stronger, such as DiskWarrior, TechTools Pro, or Data Rescue.

    Boot your computer into Safe Mode usually by tapping the F8 key at boot.  Select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
    From there type  rstrui.exe and select a Restore Point prior to the time the problem started.
    If unable, you will have to perform a Factory Restore.
