Disk Utility / Installing Programs Broken

I was trying to install a program today and when it got to the part where you select the volume to install, it does not show any volumes. I tried to go to Disk Utility to check on this, and it closes when it opens and says that a background service is not running. I tried running Startup Disk Preferences and this also closes.
I usually use my desktop, but I tried to upgrade to 10.4.6 from 10.4.5 the day it came out using Software Update and this crashed 1/2 way through (can't remember exactly why, but it seems other ppl had the issue). I'm assuming that this has something to do with my new problems but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas on how to reinstall 10.4.6(I can't install anything right now) or undo what it did?
Thanks!
iBook G4 14" 1.42Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

I have exactly the same problem: part way through the update from
10.4.5 to 10.4.6 the software updater reported an error and exited.
Now, anything that uses DiskManagementTool hangs/crashes when
you try to start it and the log reports:
Disk Utility started.

Something that might be related is that a few months ago I tried
to recover some mail from my hard disk (that Mail had obliterated
when I removed an account) using a couple different disk
scanning/recovery programs. That's the only slightly unusual
thing I've done on this iMac G5 since I got it last Sept.

  • Disk Utility does not recognize internal HD

    Hello community!
    I am a computer lab assistant (all iMacs) for my work and am troubleshooting a problem as follows:
    Specs:
    Mac A:
    OS X 10.8
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory (2 slots x 2 GB in use, 2 slots empty)
    27-inch Mid-2011 iMac
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB
    The problem is that Disk Utility does not always recognize the internal HD on mac A. In fact, only once it showed up recently and that was after a couple of restarts. Programs run very slowly and are not very responsive.
    Troubleshooting steps taken thus far:
    1. restarted mac A in internet recovery mode and ran Apple Hardware Test about 8 times (quick test 4 times and extended test 4 times). Every time it hangs indefinitely on the memory check.
    2. Installed and ran memtest in single user mode (mac A) with arguments "all 2" to run the test twice. All tests passed.
    3. Started up mac A in Target Disk Mode and booted mac B via firewire. Everything runs fine (fast), but disk utility installed on mac A's HD does not recognize any HD (neither firewire nor internal).
    4. Started up mac B in target disk mode and booted mac A via firewire. Everything runs fine (fast). Disk Utility on mac B's HD recognizes both firewire HD (of mac B) and internal HD (of mac A). Disk Utility verify and repair completed on mac A's internal HD. Everything OK.
    I'm unsure how to proceed. I assume the RAM on mac A is fine because it runs mac B's HD via firewire very fast (it handled opening all the apps on the doc simultaneously relatively well). I assume mac A's HD is fine because via firewire it shows up in disk utility and runs very fast on mac B. I just don't understand why Mac A's HD won't work well on mac A. Could it be a loose SATA connection between the HD and the logic board? Would that cause these symptoms?
    Thanks for any input.

    I ran Data Rescue 3 by Prosoft and it returned the following graph:
    In case you can't see the stats, that green spike is up to 30,000 msec in readtime for the HD. The smaller spikes before and after it are at about 2,000 - 3,000 msec. The threshold (red line) is a recommendation: persistant read times above the red line (about 1,000 msec)  could indicate a problem with the HD according to the program. I guess it's time to see about replacing the HD.
    Thanks.

  • Disk Utility Messages, Interpretation of

    I have an external hard drive with problems, and am looking for some repair advice. When I use Disk Utility Verify, I get the following messages in red - Keys out of order. The volume needs to be repaired. The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972).
    When I run the Disk Utility Repair program, I get the following messages in red - Keys out of order. Rebuilding Catalog B-tree.The volume could not be repaired. The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972).
    Can I save this volume? Are there other disk utility programs that might be able to repair this disc and save the data? Can I erase it, and lose the data, and begin to use it again with confidence, or is it likely to fail again soon. Thanks for your help.
    NJZ

    As John said, DiskWarrior is a good place to start, especially if you already have it, or don't mind spending a few bucks for it. And with all due respect to John's opinion, just be aware that you may run DiskWarrior and find that it can't help either, which could indicate a failing HD. If DiskWarrior can't fix the corruption, you can back up your important data, and try to re-format the HD. If the external HD is not a boot disk and you can easily back it up and you don't have DiskWarrior already, I'd at least consider erasing (re-formatting) it before shelling out $$$ for DiskWarrior. It really depends on how much time you have and whether you can easily back up the data.
    Not to be a broken record, but DiskWarrior is a great tool and may fix your problem without a hitch. On the other hand, the corruprion may not be repairable, or may be an indicatino of a failing HD and more corruption to come. If you erase the HD and you still have trouble, you'll know there's more likely a hardware problem rather than just data corruption.
    Just my 2 cents.

  • Repairing Permissions with Disk Utility on PowerPC

    I was just wanting to check this.
    If I want to repair permissions on a powerpc G5, can I do this from the copy of disk utility installed on the machine or do I need to do it from the Start up disk.
    I have unfortunately misplaced the install disk copy of leopard and was also having an issue with the copy I had being read on my superdrive.
    I feel need to do a permissions repair to resolve some minor issues.
    I have tried using Target Disk Mode with another Powerpc but this does not allow permissions repair but only disk repair.
    Any clarification on this would be most helpful.

    Thanks for your response.
    I recall reading somewhere that such repairs had to be done from a separate disk which is why for years I have always done it in this manner.
    So it turns out then that I can do this from the Disk Utility on the hard drive already, which makes life a lot easier.
    Is there any procedure  required to do this  such as shutting down open applications or anything?

  • Disk Utility Broken (fails to image or verify properly)

    Hey, my disk Utility seems to be broken.
    When I try to clone a drive it goes along fine, then ultimately creates something that doesn't pass it's own verification afterwards, and fails when I try to open the image.
    I repair both the cloned (main/internal) drive, and the destination drive. I use Disk Warrior on it so it's nice and clean, but still it fails.
    So I created an image with SuperDuper by making a copy on a free reformated drive then bouncing it back onto the original drive as a clone/image. That works, and disk utility sees it as good, but aparently a little too good, cause it says it over and over and craps out.
    Here's the error I get:
    Disk Utility internal error
    Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility.
    (Quit)
    Then in the background the DU program says:
    Volume passed verification
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume passed verification
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume passed verification
    1 HFS volume checked
    and repeats this on into infinity.
    Then when I check (Quit) it says it's still in progress and quitting could leave the disk non operations depending on the task.
    Since this is a read only task (verify) I'm not worried about that, but it doesn't mean that the DU isn't screwed.
    I've tried using DU off the istall disk and that doesn't seem to work either. So did they just ship me a bad system install disk? Should I be looking for another copy of DU?

    Your issue lost connection with the Disk Management Tool is normally a Panther problem, but some Tiger users have experianced it also. Follow the advice in this link.
    If you follow the tips in there it should straighten out Disk Utility.
    Cheers!

    So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
    Or you can't boot from it when you do?

  • Disk Utility broken while booted from Installation CDs??

    Situation: I have a Macbook Pro with a 120 GB HDD. I had partitioned it into two partitions, and later desired that I should have only one partition on the drive. I booted the Mac OS X installation CDs and attempted the following three-step procedure:
    1. Use Disk Utility to image my system partition into a file on an external USB drive
    2. Verify the image and repartition ("Erase") my laptop's internal HDD
    3. Restore the disk image from the external HDD to the laptop's HDD.
    I made it to step 3 without issue. So currently I have one unbootable Macbook Pro, an 85 GB image of a system partition on a USB HDD, and a perfectly bootable Intel Mac Mini from which I'm writing this post.
    Problem: Disk Utility doesn't seem to be able to restore images when booted from the Installation CDs. On the 'Restore' tab there are two fields you must fill in, a 'source' field and a 'destination' field. The source field has a button where you can summon a very helpful file-picker, and it pulls up my disk image from my USB drive just fine. However, the destination field can only be filled in by clicking and dragging a drive from the left panel in Disk Utility.
    However, it seems impossible to do this while booted from the Installation CDs. When I attempt to click and drag a disk from the left panel list, all I end up accomplishing is selecting multiple items from the list. To make a visual illustration:
    Instead of this, like I get when I try it on my mac mini booted normally:
    http://upload.pbase.com/silentplummet/image/72221384.jpg
    ...I get this, which is a photo of my macbook pro booted from the installation CDs:
    http://upload.pbase.com/silentplummet/image/72221397.jpg
    There doesn't seem to be any way to actually select a destination drive. If I had to hypothesize, I would guess that the GUI is crippled when you boot from CD and click+drag is deactivated. But that appears to make it impossible to restore images since the only way to select destination drives is by clicking and dragging.
    Now I am a college student; I'm not really losing revenue or anything over this, but this is an awful oversight on Apple's part and I am stuck on what to do about it. There is no documentation that says "Restore functionality is crippled in Disk Utility when booting from installation CDs." Here are the steps I have tried for an alternate solution:
    -Commandline diskutil. Unfortunately Apple has crippled it and there appears to be no imaging functionality whatsoever.
    -Mount the image manually and cp the files back over. Unfortunately I can't make it preserve permissions. I passed the right options to cp but it just won't do what it's supposed to. I tried copying it anyway and using Disk Utility to repair the permissions, but it still wouldn't boot.
    -Call Applecare. The support rep was kind and helpful but couldn't offer a solution. The higher-ups fed me some BS about not supporting third party applications, well, I hardly think Disk Utility constitutes a third party application.
    My next step is to boot the MBP in target disk mode and use my mac mini to restore the image to the MBP HDD, but I have to buy a firewire cable for that and I don't really want to.
    Seeking: acknowledgement that Disk Utility is broken and Apple *****, or otherwise immediate solutions to restore the image to my HDD that do not constitute monetary expenditures on my part.
    Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 GHz Mac mini 1.5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Others have (in the Mac Pro forum) noticed this bug in Disk Utility on the Intel version install disks. Your easiest fix would be to reinstall OSX on you Macbook disk, boot it, mount the disk image from the USB drive, and use the Migration Assistant to copy over all your accounts and data files.

  • My new HD with a cloned system and apps won't boot the G5 when installed. The clone drive is being journal formatted via usb with OS9 checked in disk utility. First time around, I didn't check OS9, and the G5 didn't boot from the clone drive. Advice?

    My system is a G5 PPC with 2x 2Gig 64bit processors (dual core). 6 gig of ram on board, running OSX 10.4.11. I recently discovered the main drive was actually a laptop drive someone had stuffed in there! (The machine was given to me - yes, really). So I bought a nice new WD Caviar Black 500Gig HD. Hooked it up via usb adapter (G5 won't see it internally). Disk Utility saw it, formatted it with Journal option selected, but not OS9 install.
    After that, I cloned the data on the slow laptop drive complete with all the applications onto the Caviar HD.Sure enough, the G5 can see the Caviar HD with everything on it.
    However, when putting the Caviar HD in where the laptop drive once was, the G5 would not see the disk at all.
    So now, I'm reformatting the drive again but this time with OS9 checkbox ticked in Disk Utility. After this, I will install it into the machine alongside the offensively sluggish laptop drive, and as long as the G5 sees the Caviar HD internally, I will clone from there, rather than via USB hookup.
    I hope this way the system will speed up! There's no way the machine is running as it can do with a pokey little laptop drive in it spinning at 5k surely!
    I am assuming the Tiger 10.4.11 is genuine (I think it is - the X symbol is present on the folder), but I don't have the original disk...
    Any suggestions? Has anyone had this experience?

    Hi BDAqua... downstairs away from unit at the moment. It's a Western Digital Caviar Black 500Gig, twin processors, SATA3 / 6, 64Meg cache on-board... nice. Very quite with minimal vibration (slight).
    However as I'm here I can announce I've solved the problem! The G5 had an original Seagate Barracuda HDD on board as a slave drive. I backed up the dat off that onto the Caviar Black via USB adapter. Then Disk Utility wiped the Barracuda safely.
    Then, I installed SuperDuper! to clone the data from the sluggish laptop master drive onto the Barracuda; I also told SuperDuper! to boot the G5 from the newly image Barracuda.
    After it had done the job I switched off the machine (it may well have rebooted - I was downstairs watching England fail at Eurovision Song Contest), took out the laptop drive and started up the G5.
    Mercifully, it rebooted fine! All details and programs are intact and functioning right down to my screensaver.
    I can report that the machine is noticably (considerably in the case of Logic8 and JamPack) faster and swifter at sourcing data.
    Everything is backed up and I now have a speedier G5! Hurrah!!
    I now have a spare 80Gig drive to hand in a caddy (originally a spare backup) that was made about the same time as the G5. It's my guess that it would fit the G5 internally and probably be seen ok by the system.
    It's worth a try. The Caviar Black will have to go into a caddy and become my backup disk. It has a clone of the OS and all apps, so if something goes badly wrong, I'm safe.
    Just a thought: The more advanced Leopard and Snow Leopard OS may struggle in G5's because the OS itself may require faster HDD's that cannot go into the G5 normally? I see many reports of Snow Leopard running like a bag of bones in people's G5's. Perhaps it's something to do with data retrieval speeds?
    I'm sticking with Tiger!
    I hope this story has assisted someone somewhere... and many thanks to all you kind people who offer to help.
    When Humanity's back is against the wall, this is how civilization will restart and re-establish... guys like us solving problems at desks, on PC's and in garden sheds!

  • Installing OS 9 Drivers using X.3.9 Disk Utility

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to install OS 9 drivers on an external hard drive using Disk Utility under X.3.9? I searched under Help on my 14" iBook G4 (which doesn't boot into 9 if I'm not mistaken) and it tells me to check the "Install OS 9 Drivers" checkbox. However, this checkbox does not exist to my knowledge.
    I'm trying to create a disk that can backup both the iBook and an older PowerMac G4 that runs OS 9.1. Since I'm doing this to an external drive, OS 9's Drive Setup tells me the drive is unsupported.
    Anyone done this? Or do I need to look for a workaround in Terminal, or a 3rd party formatting software?

    In order to have OS 9 drivers installed on a hard
    drive you must either format the drive using OS X
    Disk Utility and checking that option when you
    partition the drive. This is a destructive process
    so all the data will be erased from the drive. You
    can also format the drive using the OS 9 disk
    formatter. Be sure to use Mac OS Extended for the
    format.
    Here's the deal. The only way I have found that I can format the drive so that it will give me the drivers is to temporarily put it in my PowerMac. Doing that means I lose about 60 gig of storage. I want as much storage as possible, so I'd rather not go this route.
    When I try to format the drive using Disk Utility in OS X the option to install OS 9 drivers does not exist. Maybe it's the version of Disk Utility I'm using, but more than likely it's the fact that the iBook that runs OS X isn't capable of booting into OS 9 so Apple decided to take away the ability to give a drive OS 9 drivers.
    Is there any way to do what I want to do? Can Disk Utility give me the drivers I need, or do I need to find some other program that can?

  • Possible HD problem: Can't install sofware, each time Disk Utility boots up

    Each time i click on a Dmg file to try and install some software it goes right to the Disk Utility program. The best I can do is click "Verify Disk" which works out ok but still can't install the software.
    My HD is almost full using 106 of 111 available gigs leaving me only about 5 gig free space. Is there some disk utility I could run to figure it out? Perhaps some program like Dfrag for the mac. I tried to download & install iDfrag but again, I was stuck at the Disk Utility that boots up after downloading it and clicking to install.

    I ended up buying a 500 GB Apple HD that had been in a macbook pro previously. The guy I bought it from for $105 told me it has SnowL mac OS already on it.
    He also told me that I could easily clone my current drive on this drive by using Carbon Copy on this Bomb Bich site: http://www.bombich.com/
    I downloaded the app but haven't ran it or tried to install yet because he told me I need to get an "Enclosure" first from a local store that will run me $17.
    I'm about the buy that tomorrow and then go to install it.
    He also said I could first try just Copying my couple of programs like Word & Excel over to the new drive and see if it'll work on the new drive. If it does, then I could just Copy the rest of my datafiles over because I don't have much actual software I need on my current drive.
    My current OS is OS X ver 10.5.8. but he has the newest Snow Leopard on thenew 500 GB drive I just bought.

  • I recently downloaded is x mountain lion and while it finished it erased all my data, some of which I need. When using disk utility I found my old data but it says corrupted. I can't repair and while restoring the error code 32 Broken Pipe appears. Help?

    My data I need is on my computer but it needs to be repaired but can't and when I try to restore it/back it up it ends abruptly with error code 32 broken pipe.
    It was damaged while installing os x mountain lion and I found my data on disk repair (utility)

    Sounds like your hard drive is badly corrupted, likely due to problems that were already there when you started trying to install Mountain Lion. The problem is, if you don't have any backups already, you may not be able to recover all your data from this state. Do you have backups of that data already?
    If not, I assume when you say that "it needs to be repaired but can't," you mean that Disk Utility tells you there is a problem with the disk, but that it is unable to repair it? If so, you can try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior, which can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. That may give you access to your data again, but may not.
    Also, it's important to understand that if your data is not backed up, everything you do with the computer runs the risk of overwriting or corrupting that data. You may want to go straight to trying to recover your data. See Recovering deleted files.
    Regarding the error code, if you're trying to back up the drive using Disk Utility's Restore tab, note that that is often not successful when the drive you're trying to back up is corrupt.
    Once the situation is resolved - either because you have backups, are able to recover your data files or are forced to accept that they are gone permanently - you will need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system and all your apps from scratch.

  • OMG freaking out please help!!  Installer won't install..Disk Utility gone?

    Newer mac user here with very little osx experience. First post on the forums really hoping you can help.
    I have a couple issues right now. First of all, lately when I try to install apps nothing happens. More specifically, when I click on the .pkg file nothing happens. The screen kind of flashes (it doesn't really flash, but I don't know how else to describe it) like it wants to do something, but then.....nothing. This has happened recently with both a divx codec I downloaded from divx.com and also with neooffice. I have tried dumping the neooffice download in the trash and redownloading and trying to reinstall and it does the same thing everytime.....nothing.
    Second....can someone tell me exactly what is supposed to be in the applications/utility folder? I thought there was a disk utility program in there that would allow me to reset permissions, but I can't find it!! I can't find it using finder either!! I am freaking out a little bit here and any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Sounds like you trashed a few things from your Utilities folder. For details on restoring one or more missing pieces, see my post at:

  • Disk Utility erase tab for hard disk is missing after accidental OS deletion when installing Win 8.1 (BootCamp)

    Hi there everyone,
    This is my first post and I hope I can get this issue resolved with your help .
    So the issue that I am having is that my Disk Utility is not showing giving me the option to reformat my entire hard drive.
    The reason I want to this is because my Boot Camp Assistant won't partition my drive. This error comes up:
    So after looking through the internet and forums i couldn't resolve this Boot Camp issue. So I decided to try and just wipe out my whole disk but as you can see I am unable to do that.
    Prior to this issue, I had tried to download Windows 8.1 using a bootable USB stick and have accidentally deleted my Macintosh HD partition from the Windows install menu by opening up a terminal (fn+option+F10 was the key used to open up this terminal if I remember correctly).  I was pretty upset about that, thankfully I have a backup around. Not knowing what to do I proceeded to installing Windows 8.1 anyway. Half way through the installation there was an error which I did not record. I simply exited the installer and proceeded to the Recovery System start up menu and it installed a version of OS X Lion from the internet. Then I installed Yosemite thinking everything is OK.
    I decided to try to install Windows 7 now and the issue mentioned at the beginning ensued. Previously there was a disk0s1 and disk0s2 that can be seen from the Disk Utility but I could delete one of them. The other one I could only erase but could not delete the partition itself. From terminal i determined these two partitions were from the previous Windows installation attempt. The size was relatively small for both.
    I ran a disk repair for the Macintosh HD volume and this error pops up:

    Please boot into Internet Recovery (Command+Opt+R) and ensure you see the spinning globe. If you do, you can use diskutil cs commands to initialize your disk and re-install/restore from a TM backup.

  • I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space to make a partition, however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

    I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space on my start up disk - that I need at least 10GB free space - however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

    if your SSD is only 60 GBs, then you don't have space on which to install Windows. That 27 GBs is space you need to have for adding files you create, music you download, added applications, pictures, etc. You need to maintain at least 10 GBs as free space for OS X, plus you need space for files OS X will create and add to over time.
    Your 60 GB SSD is just a minimum usable size for OS X. There isn't sufficient space to also support Windows which requires close to 25 GBs of the 27 GBs you still have free. Sorry, but that just doesn't really work well.
