Disk Utility not recognizing connected disks half the time

About half the time i run Disk Utility all i get is the Disk Utility window that's blank on the left side where my connected drives should be and in the main area of the DU window is the message "Gathering disk information" will a spinning wheel type thing under it. The only way i can quit DU is by forcing a quit. I don't have any idea why this happens so much. I've run repair permissions and repair disk from the install disk. No problems detected.
Any ideas?
thx

disk utility can only repair directly attached drives. it can not work on network drives like Time Capsule. but you can try repairing the sparse bundle itself. drag it to disk utility's left pane, select it there and choose "repair disk".

OS X Disk Utility not recognizing Seagate 3TB drive in dock
Been scouring the webs and can't quite figure this one out.
I just purchased a Seagate 3TB drive intending on using it for Backup.
Ended up plugging it into a dock and couldn't get it to show up in Disk Utility..
Interesting enough, I plugged this into an HP laptop and it displays just fine.
Anyone know the solution?

I hooked my internal as an external up to my Mom's Macbook Pro and it recognized my HD. I'm thinking it is something internal with the hook-up, which is awesome, because maybe I can actually fix it!!!! Any thoughts?

Disk Utility not recognizing Time Capsule Disk?

Hi I'm receiving the following error message from Time Machine:
"The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am able to access the Time Capsule's hard drive via Finder, and can see the sparsebundles there, but when opening Disk Utility the Time Capsule does not appear on the left sidebar along with other hard drives (such as that of the iMac and an external USB drive).
I've gone through restore and factory resets, this message continues to come up...any suggestions?
thanks

Copy of a CD (created by Disk Utility) not recognized by Windows or Linux

I created a copy of AutoCAD 2005 (not pirating it... just wanted a backup copy of the install CD).
I used Disk Utility (File > New > Disk Image From Folder) to successfully create a DMG file on my MacBook. I could mount the DMG and browse all the files on it.
I then burned a CD (Disk Utility > select DMG > click burn), which mounts fine on OSX. However, my Windows and Linux boxes will not recognize it (while they recognize the original CD just fine).
I tried again, this time setting the file format to DVD/CD master. It made a CDR file, which I burned to CD. Got the same result: Windows and Linux don't recognize it while OSX does.
So instead I burned the files to a CD ala drag and drop using Finder. This time the CD was recognized by Windows and I used it to install AutoCAD.
However, my understanding is that doing it this way won't work for a bootable CD, so I'd like to figure out why Disk Utility wasn't able to make an exact copy.
Any thoughts? Problem with copy protection? Problem with the CD's file system?

Yeah OS X's Disk Utility doesn't burn using the ISO 9660 file system while Finder does (I could swear I made a copy of an MS Office CD with Disk Utility, but maybe I'm remembering wrong). Anyway, Disco (a program I got in a MacHeist bundle) will make an exact copy of CDs. Anyone looking for a free solution, check out LiquidCD and burn, which may have the ability to copy Windows CDs (appears to be on their lists of features, but I haven't tried them myself).

'No' symbol on start-up, disk utility not recognizing internal drive

Need a little assistance.
Two days ago I was using the Macbook and it froze. Restarted and I was hit with the international no symbol. I've also gotten the blinking file folder at times when I've tried the holding down of various buttons on start-up.
I put a Hitachi 750 gb harddrive in last fall, it has been working fine up until now.
I do not have the system disk for Snow Leopard on hand, so until I can get it from my Dad, I decided to check on the system disk I actually have from the laptop purchase in 2007.
This allowed me to get to the start-up disk and disk utility area. I could not find my external harddrive in the list for a start-up, and it is the back-up using Time Machine. I also could not get the internal harddrive to be found in the utility so I could do a repair. It did seem to recognize that there is a drive, but not the actual named portion of it that contains the info.
I removed the internal and put it in an external case: my netbook recognizes that there is hardware, but does not let me access it. I attribute this to the fact that the drive is formatted for Mac and the Windows machine can't recognize the data.
My next step was to see if my old iMac would recognize the internal as an external, but since I don't know where the keyboard is and it is running an early version of OS X, figured it won't do me much good.
What is my next step? Will the Snow Leopard disk make a difference? Or is the reaction with the older system disk going to carry on the same way with Snow Leopard?
I was going to buy a Macbook Pro, but not for over another month, so I'm hoping I can figure something out with this and make it last a little longer.

I hooked my internal as an external up to my Mom's Macbook Pro and it recognized my HD. I'm thinking it is something internal with the hook-up, which is awesome, because maybe I can actually fix it!!!! Any thoughts?

Disk Utility Not Recognizing Hard Drive - PLEASE HELP!!

So, I just bought this Power Mac G4 from a friend to run my Digidesign hardware. I turned it on this afternoon to install the Apple software for the wireless mighty mouse. When I turned the computer on, the second hard drive was not present in Finder, and I could not locate it in Disk Utility.
I have two hard drives present in the computer ... the 120gb main hard drive and this 2nd internal 80gb hard drive. I'm not very "tech savvy" with the comptuer outside of running protools ...
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Or is it likely that the hard drive just fried??
Thanks,
Justin

When two hard drives are attached to the same data ribbon cable, connected to the same IDE controller, one drive must be configured as "master," and the other drive configured as "slave." This is accomplished by placing a plastic jumper (sometimes two jumpers) across a specific pair (or pairs) of pins on the back end of the drive. If the manufacturer didn't apply a label to the drive with jumper designations, the user manual or manufacturer's web site will have the info needed for that specific hard drive. The drive connected at the end of the ribbon cable should be configured as master, and the drive connected to the middle connector as slave. If the 80 GB drive isn't mounting, it's probably configured the same as the 120 GB, so check both drives.

Disk Utility not recognizing externals correctly

I have two external hard drives that are connected through a USB 2.0 hub. One is called "Photo Store" and the other is called "Photo Store Backup". When I load them, they both show up on the desktop properly. However, when I load Disk Utility, things show differently. They show as separate physical drives, but with the same name and all the same information (UUID, etc.). At the same time, it still shows the drives on the desktop properly.
What can I do to fix this?

My fix was to just reformat one of the drives. That changed the UUID which was conflicting between the two drives.

Disk utility not recognizing HD

Hi,
I have a G4 PowerMac with two 80 GB hard drives. When I boot up the computer, it boots up from the primary drive and runs fine. At this time, both my primary and my secondary drives are accessible and visible.
However, when I boot up the computer using either the Tiger or Leopard DVDs and then run Disk Utility, it only recognizes my secondary hard drive and not my main hard drive.
Also, if I quit Disk Utility at this time and tell it to re-start, it asks me which drive to boot from and the only option is either the DVD or the secondary hard drive. It just doesn't even see my main hard drive. I have to eject the DVD and re-boot for it to boot from the primary drive again.
Any advice?

I can see and use the hard drive only when I boot from it. When I boot from it, it is on my desktop, in my System Profiler, and visible under Disk Utility.
When I boot from DVD, the drive is not visible anywhere - not in System Profiler and not in Disk Utility.
I booted the computer using the HD and did a "Verify Disk". It gave me several errors and one in red that told me I needed to do a disk repair. I did a disk repair by booting the computer into Safe Mode (which performs a disk repair automatically). Then I rebooted regularly (from the HD) and went into Disk Utility and did another "Verify Disk". This time it verified successfully. I also repaired permissions successfully.
However...
when I booted from DVD, the drive was again invisible.

IPod Touch 4g not detected by itunes half the time

Since this is my first post I will start by saying greetings to all! I've been having issues with my ipod and I was hoping someone could shed some light on the issue. A week after I got my iPod Touch this issue came up and it's beginning to get on my nerves a bit. Everytime I plug in my iPod with iTunes loaded I have basically a 1/5 shot of it actually being recognized. At first I thought it might be Win7 being flakey as usual but even when iTunes does not see my iPod windows gives me the "autorun" option to view the pictures on it. This leads me to believe it is an iTunes issue. The only way around this is to leave iTunes open and repeatedly unplug and replug my iPod into the usb port, once I plug it in I wait about 5 seconds and eventually iTunes notices my iPod and goes about it's merry way. At this point it will sync perfectly with no issues what so ever. However? If I were to close iTunes and re-open I have to repeat the process all over again.
So my questions are these:
Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, has anyone else figured out how to fix it?
I'd really rather NOT reinstall iTunes and risk it possibly destroying my entire music collection. I've spend a long time ripping CDs and organizing them (OCD style) into directories with proper tags and album art.
Specs:
Windows 7 Professional x64 - SP1
AMD Phenom II X4 995 @ 3.2GHz
4 GB DDR3-1600 RAM

This is exactly why I am here today. I have this problem about the same as you and I have a similar computer. I have to try over and over and go into settings to shut down iTunes when it freezes, then try again. It does with with both my iPad and my iPod. I am on my 2nd iPod and the first one was the same way. This is the main reason I was hesitant to get an iPad. On my first day owning the iPad, at least I had Apple help and they were on the phone with me for 3 hours trying to get it to work. They were never able to help me. BUt, for that time at least, I just changed USB ports and it synched immediately. That is not my problem at the momen though, when my iPod did not sync until the 5th try. It's very frusrating.

Disk Utility has Lost Connection with the Disk Managment Tool

Hi,
For starters, this problem is not associated with the thread that Brian Z. has posted at the top of this forum. Having said that, here's my problem:
I had installed Security Update 2006-003, and Quicktime 7.1. Permissions were repaired before and after each installation, and all went well.
Some hours later, I was experimenting with Apple Remote Desktop. I had activated ARD in the System Preferences>Sharing pane, and it provided me an IP address associated with ARD. I then turned on Airport, and ARD provided me with an IP address associated with that connection. However when I turned off my modem connection, System Preferences>Sharing hung, and had to be Force Quit.
Console Log follows:
===== Mon May 15 2006 ===== 21:09:09 America/Anchorage =====
2006-05-15 21:09:17.488 System Preferences[2732] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle
2006-05-15 21:09:28.224 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:308

2006-05-15 21:09:48.415 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:343
Thinking a plist had become corrupted, I trashed the following:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
com.apple.Remotemanagement.plist
com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist.
System Preferences started out very slowly, but then all the panes except Sharing would work ok.
I booted from the install disk and performed a Disk Repair. There were no problems reported.
When I tried to run a Repair Permissions, after about 20 seconds I got the, "Disk Utility has lost connection with the disk management tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
I quit D.U. and the Installer, and was able to successfully run a Repair Permissions from the D.U. in my Utilities folder. It had no problems to report.
Continuting to troubleshoot the System Preferences problem, I then trashed the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. This solved my System Preferences>Sharing problem.
However, I am still unable to perform a Repair Permissions after booting from my install disk (I get the subject message). Repairing permissions from the Disk Utility in my Utilies folder works fine.
Any thoughts out there on a logical way to troubleshoot where my problem is? Is there a way to get a console log when I'm running DU from the install disk, or a comparable source??
Thanks,
Bob

I found this crash log that was generated about the time I had problems with System Preferences hanging.
Thoughts?

Hard drive not recognized in disk utility

I'm trying to replace the hard drive in my MacBook Pro , the old hard drive was not recognized in disk utilities after the computer crashed .After installing a new hard drive and booting from the original Mac OS install DVD,( leopard?) the new hard drive is not recognized either ? Help

It may be the internal connecting cable that is the problem. If you can install the new HDD in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP, then see if you recognize it using the OSX installation disk. If so, the internal connector should be replaced.
Ciao.

'Disk Utility has lost connection with Disk Management Tool' w/ RAID 10 set

Using 4 internal drives, I have specified the following setup for each:
2 partitions, 1 'speed' of 5 GB and 1 'data' of whatever remains.
The 4 speed partitions stripe to a single RAID volume correctly.
The 4 data partitions are used to make a RAID 10 volume as follows:
The first 2 data partitions are mirrored to make a 'data-A'
The next 2 data partitions are mirrored to make a 'data-B'
These complete correctly.
Upon attempting to strip data-A and data-B in order to finish the RAID 10 setup, Disk Utility quits with the following message:
"Disk Utility has lost connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility'.
A search here and on the nets reveals only that this message appeared in 10.3.x when attempting to repair disk permissions and had to do with a rogue iTunes support file. This is occurring on a blank system (no iTunes installed) so I don't think its the same cause.
Note that I was able to complete this setup under Tiger several times without issue, so it seems to be unique to Leopard. Does anyone know what is going on and hopefully suggest a workaround?

To answer my own issue and leave a marker here for others, I was able to successfully set up a RAID 10 partition using diskutil, indicating that the problem is Disk Utility itself and not the RAID implementation.
Disk Utility has proven itself to be bugridden (must restart frequently to get updated view of volumes; drops device names at various times; etc.) and this latest bug would seem to suggest that it should be avoided in favor of diskutil for any serious RAID construction.

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.
To check my user rights and repair the main HD I have installed 10.5 on my external 500 GB USB 2.0 HD. Started from it and started the disk utility trying to check and repair the Macintosh HD Partition (not win xp). I got following error messages:

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.

Disk utility not completing, please help...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to erase an external drive I've had for a while. I formatted it once with no probs. I've hooked it all up via USB, gone to disk utility, clicked the volume, clicked erase, zero out all data, selected "journaled" from the drop down list, clicked erase. It get about 90% done, which takes about 2 hours (80gb drive) then just doesnt move and i have to force quit.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Phil

If that HD has a FireWire connection, try Disk Utility with that configuration.
If it doesn't have a FW connection, then you can try these steps. Unmount the ext HD, power it down, and disconnect it. Boot the computer with the install disk, select your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Utilities, and repair the disk and permissions. If you get a clean bill of health, then quit DU and select Utilities->Startup Disk->G5 boot volume and click Restart. Reinstall the 10.4.9 COMBO update, after restart, launch Disk Utility, and repair permissions. Shutdown the computer for at least 30 minutes. Restart it, hook up the ext HD, and give Disk Utility another whirl.
Another option is to get a FWHD. They're much faster and more reliable than USB.
