Disk utility - failure reported - cannot repair

Decided to give my powerbook a thorough check over - mostly by running OnyX.
It raised an issue - which is better described when running 'Disk Utility' - I have attached the output below.
I have tried booting from disk and repairing but this did not work (it did fix one other issue - but this one remains)
What can I do, and what risks does this raise?
Thanks.

Software update 14 Java for Mac 10.6.8 gave me 27 permissions errorsI found 29 permissions errors.Disk Utility and Onyx cannot repair.

first time I contact Apple Support Communities
I have re-installed Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro(permissions = ok) and each Software update proposed by Apple.
After each software update installation, I have checked the permissions being ok.
But after install update 14 Java for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (proposed by Apple), I found 27 permissions errors. Disk Utility as well as Onyx cannot repair. (in fact they repair and if you check again you still have those 27 permissions errors)
It concern mainly System/library/Java/Java Virtual Machine + System/Library/Framewoks/JavaVM.Framework and System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.Bundle
Do you have an idea how to get rid of those 27 permissions errors.
Thanks in advance

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:

Disk Utility unable to Verify/Repair Permissions since this week's update

Hey there folks- I am experiencing some software problems with certain apps not launching (I understand it is an issue with QT now but am not clear on how to revert... Help?) and naturally panicked a bit.
I went into Disk Utility and tried to Repair Permissions.
Starts checking and then claims to lose connection and that I need to quit it and relaunch. This, of course, tells me that I am about to corrupt the disk and will "pay" for it (not seriously but feels like it!).
Anyone know what I can do to fix this as I really cannot, this minute, afford to reformat as I am working flat out with the machine.
So- review- unable to repair permissions and sometimes the machine runs slower than usual on the net as well as no longer launching some applications. Missing a few too but I can live with that!
Any help VERY gratefully received.

Oh dear lady upstairs! Sorry to not have responded sooner- I never got the message that you had answered me... Bit odd that!
OK- thanks for that. I do so like understanding what I am doing and, more importantly- WHY!
Will do and let you know if that sorts matters...
As for QT- I hear tell that it can interfere with the running of applications and I certainly had a lot more than just Disk Utility fail on me. Stuff APPEARS to launch and then just stops after a few bounces of the icon on the dock.
Of course that TOO began only after the update.
I have to say- if it weren't for your calming influence I'd have freaked by now. I mean- how can we trust the updates if they cause such agro?!
LOL!

My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error that disk cannot be umounted. Please help! Thank you very much.

My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error disk cannot be unmounted. Please help. What can i do? Thank you very much.

First have you got a backup of your data? If not try to get one now while you have some access to the drive. The drive is probably faulty and will need to be replaced, without the backup you risk losing the data.
Have you a bootable external USB drive with Mavericks on it, if so boot from that and try and repair or erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks.
If you don't have Mavericks on an external drive, boot from you Leopard DVD ( I am presumimg your profile is correct) and run Disk Utility from there, you may be able to erase the drive and reload Leopard. You can then install Mavericks. Even if all that works you will most likely need a new drive in the near future.

OSX Lion Disk Utility won't verify/repair RAID volumes

SInce I upgraded to Lion (now at 10.7.4) I can't use the Disk utility to verify or repair the disk catalog (disk first Aid) on apple soft RAID volumes. These volumes were created in 10.6 use the Apple RAID feature of disk utility.
I have one striped and one concatenated volume - neither will work. Press the button and the progress bar flashes for a fraction of a second, then nothing. no error, no message in the window - just no repsonse. Works fine on non raid volumes in the same disk enclosure -Firmtek Seritek/5PM, with seritek 2ME4-E sata card.
Not sure I really want to recreate and recopy the drives....
Any ideas? Seaches haven't turned up this specific issue.

A quick search in these forums for permissions or *permissions problem* reveals many posts the past four months.
In a nutshell, repairing permissions w/Leopard takes anywhere from 10-40 minutes, depending on what's installed and what's contained in /Library/Receipts/bom/. The repair permissions operation has changed in Leopard. The stalled progress bar is an unresolved bug (they haven't figured out how to make it work whilst it's checking or rebuilding the a.receiptdb, in /Library/Receipts/db/. To see what's really going on, open that folder in a Finder window, select list view, launch Disk Utility, select your boot volume, and click on repair permissions. Watch the Finder window flash files that are being read and checked against the current a.receiptdb file. That's what's taking all the time and freezing the progress bar. Once that's finished, the progress bar starts moving and the permissions are being checked and repaired. Also note, that you won't get any *they were repaired* message back for any that are noted to be incorrect.

Disk Utility is reporting a fatal hardware error-S.M.A.R.T. status failing. Is there hope?

OS 10.5.8 on a 1.8 GHz Power PC G5. Installed Western Digital WD1002FAEX as a second internal hard drive. I also installd the jumper needed to slow HD down for this computer. Initialized and formated the HD was able to back up a large iPhoto file and am still able to acceass the file from the new HD. Now Disk Utility is reporting a fatal hardware error-S.M.A.R.T. status failing. Is there hope?

Is that on your first drive or the new one???
Only experience I had with SMART warning was that in less than 48 hrs it was dead for good.

Disk utility stopped verifying; need repair... over and over and over

I've gone through the restart, Command+R drill 4 times. Repaired the disk using "Disk Utility." Restarted after repair, ran disk utility to verify the repair and BAM disk utility stops verifying and instructs me to restart ... etc.
The errors have been consistent: orphaned blocks, invalid volume free block count. But when I use utility disk after restarting and pressing command+r, the "repair disk" does not appear to do anythign beyond "Load and Verify" freespace summary and block accounting. Am I missing a step?
Any suggestions appreciated.

It appears that the HDD needs replacing.
I'm concerned the motherboard may also be faulty? How can I check (without purchasing another disk drive first)?
It seems strange (to me) that all information relating to the disk can be accessed, & all of the folders can be viewed using disk utility.
Yet the disk cannot be reformatted, or recovered from Time Machine back-up
Nor can the operating system be re-installed
Since I have Time Machine I presume I'll be able to restore the full profile to a new disk drive?
If I need to purchase a new disk (& the motherboard is ok), any recommendations which disk to buy?
Any suggestions why this disk failed? Is it related to 'sleep' and applications not shutting down properly.
Any advice most welcome.
with thanks

Install errors and Disk Utility failure

Hello!
My current install of Mac OS X must have been a newer install of Panther. The retail install I bought is v10.3.5. I think the install was originally 10.3.7.
I've tried to run Disk Utility from the install Disc 1 and get a message: "*The underlying task reported failure on exit.*"
And I tried to also perform an Archive and install of Mac OS X Panther 10.3.5 and get a message: "*You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume without changing your install settings. A newer version of Mac OS X is installed*."
So, I'm asking what my options are as to keep my current user Home folder that I mainly use and delete the Administrator Account to get a fresh install that I can maintain properly without problems like I just quoted.
This is for my DA 533 MHz.
Thank you!
-Mike

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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 quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Applications not responding leads to Disk Utility failure

Hi everyone.
I have a mac mini running 10.4.8 and recently it started hanging up on applications (particularly firefox). I'd get "application not responding" messages and even when I wasn't doing anything at all to my machine, it would stop responding.
I tried to boot up off the install CD and run disk utility but got "The underlying task reported failure on exit"
Unable to repair
Unable to verify
Additionally, I cannot mount my volume. Nor can I get any options to reinstall/reformat as from the Installer my hard drive does not show up as an available volume to install on.
Also, when I try to startup, if I pick something other than the CD, it just flashes the grey apple screen for about 5-10 minutes and then shuts off.
It did, however, pass hardware test.
The error I get in First Aid before repair stops is "Invalid Node Structure"
But...I'm not sure where to go from here.
I haven't installed anything new and it was totally fine previously.

You have serious damage to the disk and will need to either buy Disk Warrior and see if it can repair the damage, or zero the drive and reinstall. If you have a recent clone the reinstall would be relatively painless. If you don't have your drive backed up to an external drive you now know why you should have done this. If you are lucky Disk Warrior will be able to repair the damage. I suggest that you immediately buy a firewire drive and install Tiger on it and then boot from the external and see if it is possible to recover your files that haven't been backed up from the internal drive. Do this even if Disk Warrior succeeds. Drives fail. The older the drive, the more likely it is to fail. Rule of thumb: don't fully trust any drive that is 5 years old or older. And always have backups. Always.

Disk Utility Failure on Exit (-9972) error?

Hello,
I get the following error when "Repair Disk" fails:
"The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)"
Does anyone know what this DU error means?
I went through several pages of technical articles and none mentioned this particular error message. I get this error by running DU from my Panther DVD and strangely enough, when the same thing is done using my Tiger DVD, I do not get the (-9972) part of the message. However, the bottom line was the same for both DVD's: the HD could not be repaired.
At the moment, I am experiencing no problems with my PB, however I could be enjoying the 'calm before the storm'. I just recently had a serious sys crash, so this could be a lingering symptom of those problems.
This may or may not be serious, but I would like to know what this means before I proceed with the installation of Tiger. I can Repair Permissions using either DVD, but the fact that I cannot successfully perform a 'Repair Disk' is troubling.
All comments or suggestions are most welcome.

I want to pass this on to you because you were very kind to help me out and I can add some good news to those who may have this same problem in the future.
My progress will serve as an update in regards the following Disk Utility error and Mr. Kawashima's very descriptive and informative post as provided above.
In his post of Oct 4, 2005, Mr. Kawashima stated that DISKWARRIOR could not repair problems such as
"Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)"
I received the identical error message using Disk Utility and could not make the repair using either TechTool Pro or DISKWARIOR. I had a two-year old version of DW but went to Alsoft's website and downloaded the latest update. I had emailed Alsoft about my problem a few days ago and was told to download the update and try to make the repair again.
Once the download was completed, I discovered that they provide a very simple way of creating a fresh DW CD which contains the latest updated code. Bottom line: I booted this updated DW CD and it repaired my HD. I no longer get the above stated error.

How do I get my Time Capsule to appear in Disk Utility so I can repair it as instructed by Time Machine do to?

Time Machine twice reported it couldn't complete the backup to Time Capsule, and I should do a Repair Permission on Time Capsule. Unfortunately, it fails to appear in Disk Utility - only the iMac hard drive appears. What do I do?

I found this same question in the archives. I followed the instructions to click on New Image, but there is no Shared item on the left as suggested, so don't know what to do next. Cannot understand why Time Capsule fails to appear when it is plugged into the iMac!

Disk Utility Failure?

Hi all!
Before I start, let me first say that I did search for my problem here before posting, however the results I found were not exactly under the same circumstances as my own.
The long and short of it is this: I was running "Disk Utility" from my installation CD (I started up from the CD). While running "Disk Verify" and "Disk Repair," I received the following message just as the progress bar was complete:
"Disk could not be repaired because Disk Utility failed on exit."
According to the utility, it claimed my hard drive only needed "minor" repairs, and obviously my computer is still very usable (lol), but this still freaked me out a little bit.
Is there something I can (or should) be doing to rectify this? My computer isn't horridly slow or buggy, so perhaps I should go on about my business--unless there is a fairly straightforward way of getting everything back to normal.
Thanks ahead of time for your help!
