  • Disk Utility - Scan Image for Restore - Freeze

    I backed up my wife's iBook by starting her computer in target disk to my iBook which has a huge external attached. After about an hour, the image process was complete. Apple disk utility help says next to scan image for restore (not too sure why because I'm not restoring anything unless her drive dies). I begin the scan image for restore and get the progress bar that never shows and progress. Just keeps spinning/scanning for hours and I have no option to shut if off. Can't move external to trash because it in use, etc.
    Does this mean the original disk image may be bad? Do over?
    I'm using Disk Image as a solution for a total disk backup if a drive fails. No messing around with reconfiguring apps, etc. (i.e. plug and play) Is this the best way to do this?
    I come from the Mac Plus days. Hopefully I can contribute to the new OS discussions at some point. Thank you much!

    What format is the external drive?
    Is it Firewire or USB?
    Does the external drive have one of those front button touch things, like a My Book?

  • Disk Utility Error Message for Firewire HD: Could not unmount disk

    I have one internal HD with 10.4.2, another with 9.2.2, and an external firewire with 9.2.2. Sometimes the firewire does not show up on my desktop, or when I try to copy files onto it the beachball spins endlessly. When I try to reboot holding down the Option key, the firewire HD does not show up.
    I ran TechTools 4.05 (while booted from my Tiger HD) on the firewire HD. Everything checked out.
    I tried running Disk Utility on the firewire. The first time this is what I got:
    "First aid failed. Invalid key check. Volume check failed. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
    I ran Disk Utility again:
    "Repairing disk failed with error. Could not unmount disk."
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Your firewire disk is damaged. Try that: restart in safe mode (pressing SHIFT after the chime). Wait for complete boot. Plug the external HDD. Try again with Disk Utilities. Wait the report. My advise is to check its integrity. Try repair. If nothing works, try with DiskWarrior (the best utility).
    If DiskWarrior can't do the job, you – definitely have a damaged hard disk.

  • 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:

  • Disk Utility - Format Time for 500GB (Zero Out Data)

    Hello.
    Is there one length of time for formatting a hard drive with one pass of Zero Out Data? For instance, does the length of time change depending if you format with zeros using USB2, FW400, FW800, or eSATA?
    *My Format Setup*
    LaCie Rugged 500GB All-Terrain (USB2 & FW400/800)
    FW800 Cable
    GUID Partition Table
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Zero Out Data (One Pass)
    I'm formatting with a FW800 connection. Disk Utility has said it will take 1.5 hours for about 3.5 hours now. The blue bar has progressed even though the time remaining is incorrect. At this rate, it will take seven hours to format 500GB.
    I'm going to be formatting multiple 500GB and 1TB drives, and I'm wondering if the time I'm experiencing is normal. Therefore, it should take a day to format 1TB with one pass of zeros. Is this correct?
    Thank you for your help! =)
    Message was edited by: Revearti

    It takes a long time to zero out data on a 500GB drive. The larger the drive, the longer it takes. I don't think the connection makes a difference, since each of your listed options are high speed. Never tried it on an external with USB 1.1, so can't give you any real time experience there. But it will take well over an hour to write zeros on every block of a 500GB drive.

  • Disk Utility - repeated need for minor header volume repair...

    Hi...
    Three times in the last week and a half, Disk Utility has reported "Volume header needs minor repair". Each time, I've dutifully started up from my Tiger install CD, and successfully repaired the problem. On at least one of the three occasions, I also ran Disk Warrior and rebuilt the disk directory. Today, the same volume header problem is being reported again.
    I've had similar minor disk problems in past, but the repairs always 'stuck' for some while. I'm thinking it's time for an archive and install (at least), but I'm wondering if others have run into the same problem and found alternate remedies.
    I routinely run Onyx for maintenance and cleaning, by the way.
    Is there anything else I might try before the archive and install? And/or is a complete reformat in order instead?
    Data is backed up as of yesterday.
    Thanks for any/all suggestions.
    Peter B.

    Allan... thanks.
    When running Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc, is anything reported as being successfully repaired?
    If I recall correctly, yes... the specific volume header.
    I typically re-verify when I boot back to my startup drive, and initially get passing verifications... then (only recently) within days (sometimes hours) the header problem is reported again.
    I don't normally check in with Disk Utility more than (about) once a week... but since the problem has recurred, I am of course checking more often.
    I have never had this recurring problem before. Reports from Disk Utility have been almost always 'in the green' - i.e. successful verification.

  • Boot Camp and Disk Utility giving Error for my Hard Drive Volume

    When trying to partition my Hard Drive with Boot Camp, I get an error message after a while saying that it can't be partitioned because there is an error in the volume and that I should check it in Disk Utility. After running Verify Disk, it had told me that the file count was wrong and that I should repair my Disk. I have leopard installed, but only had access to a Tiger Install Disc, so after booting to that and apparently repairing successfully, I booted back onto my Hard Drive and ran Disk Utility's Verify Disk again. Now it said that my Volume Header needs minor repair. I still get the same message in Boot Camp. Running Verify and Repair Disk from the Tiger Install Disc tells me that everything is alright and the Hard Drive doesn' need repairing. I read on an Apple article that verifying a disk that's booted can produce inaccurate results, and that it shouldn't be worried about, but I can't install Windows because of this! What should I do?

    Hi,
    you have to boot from the Leopard OSX DVD in order to repair the Leopard OSX volume on your harddisk.
    Using Disk Utility from an OSX version that is prior to the one you want to repair can indeed cause more errors than before.
    So, search for the Leopard DVD.
    Regards

  • Disk utility and reformatting for an external portable hard drive

    I bought a brand-new iomega ego portable hard drive (USB compatible). When attempting to format it, I went to 'disk utility' to erase the drive. The drive appears, with the following information listed: Mount Point : /Volumes/Iomega HDD Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,105,217,024 Bytes)
    Format : Winows NT Filesystem Available : 465.7 GB (500,022,378,496 Bytes)
    Permissions Enabled : Yes Used : 79.0 MB (82,838,016 Bytes)
    Number of Folders : 0 Number of Files : 32
    Obviously, it needs to be reformatted. But when I click the erase tab, it will not allow me to pick the volume format or name (it just has it listed but unselectable).
    Any suggestions on using disk utility or reformatting the drive so I can use it will be useful!

    The drive has been pre-formatted for NTFS. You need to do the following:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to APM then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Is Disk Utility "shrinking partition" for a week doing a defrag?

    And can I ever stop it, or will partition self destruct?
    Summary:
    2TB Partition, containing 1600-1700 GB (maybe 350GB free)
    Attempted to Resize partion to 1.99TB (reducing size only 10GB) using DU GUI
    Assumed it would take just a little while to move [up to] 10GB data into free space.
    That was a week ago!  External 2TB drive on USB2, activity light flashing big time, random, misc short pauses (no patterns so looks like it's really working) 24/7 ever since.  Disk Utility says "Shrinking volume" with status bar about 60% complete and not moving since soon after beginning the process.
    This archive wasn't backed up (stupid, I know).  So I bought another drive to do that with, but wanted to do a block copy to save time and to do that the program needed the source volume to be a tiny bit smaller in order to fit my destination.  (Stupid again, for the attempt before it was backed up.  I should have just done a simple copy!)  Yes, I've been kicking myself for a week now.
    Some programs that do nondestructive volume or "filesystem" shrinking will do a complete defrag in the the process I believe.  Is that what's happening here?  Anybody know for sure? Can it really take this long with maybe 340GB free to work with?  I can't think of anything besides defraging that could explain this behavior.  Seems unlikely but could indexing be kicking in?  How many more days/weeks/months might I have to wait?  I really need this to be over.
    If I stopped it, I wouldn't mind losing any one file (or a few), I just don't want to risk losing it all.  The Drive is an archive of mostly media files.  Many large files exist from 1.5GB to maybe 5GB, with few up to maybe 18 GB.  Lots of small files too.  All are rarely accessed and never edited (re-written) so I would guess there's not much cause for fragmentation.
    Now to make matters worse, I use this computer for other things, and 3 days into the shrink, most of the computer froze.  Mouse moves but nothing is clickable. Clock stopped updating.  Can't bring up Force Quit.  At day 5 I tried again and noticed the dock would appear and magnify, until it froze too.  Drive still seems to be working with activity so I presume the shrink process is still alive.  I don't know if it will survive to completion however. How bad would things be if I just powered it off?????  Any other solution besides just wait for an unknown length of time?
    Thank you for any help, and for not kicking me again while I'm down.
    Mac Mini (Late 2009) 2.24Ghz, 4GB, 10.6.5

    UPDATE: After more than three weeks of continuous disk activity, power to the external drive was accidentally turned off.  After rebooting the Mac and connecting the drive, all data seemed to be there, and was readable, and the drive was writable.  I attempted to back up the whole drive at once with a Finder copy (no OS on this drive) but it failed partway through.  A group of files copied with zero data, which I presume happened at the failure point with an incomplete write operation.  A piecemeal copy worked however, and all data was backed up intact I believe.  My guess is that some corrupted file caused all the problems (never located though), but it could have been a hard drive issue too.  If I learn more I'll do one more update.  But the point is, that simply stopping this failed shrinking process midstream did NOT destroy the partition or volume info, FWIW, although everywhere I looked on the web this prospect appeared very gloomy.  Bottom line, shrinking a partition of data without a backup is still a very risky prospect, and I will certainly never attempt it again.  I consider myself extremely fortunate that I did not lose it all, or even any!  OTOH, stopping a shrink is not guaranteed to have the dire consequences that one would suspect.  More testing would be necessary.

  • What & where to get version of disk utility to use for mac os x 10.6.3?

    i recently installed snow leopard to my macbook 13 inch and wanted to reformat my usb flash drive and external buffalo mini station. the disk utility cannot be used. the computer said i cant use this version of disk utility with mac os x snow leopard coz i have disk utility version 11.1.
    what now? can somebody please advice what version of disk utility to get and where to get it.
    thanks.
    gina

    You either messed up the install or you subsequently copied an older version of Disk Utility from another machine, an old backup or the like. It's hard to know exactly what happened, but without more info I would view your system as potentially compromised and would recommend reinstalling it. Just run the installer and install on top of the system you have currently installed. It'll replace all the system components and leave everything else alone. (Of course, it should go without saying that you should have a good set of backups before doing anything like this.)

  • Disk Utility or iTunes for SACD ?

    I've just bought quite an expensive audiophile CD:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002B250U/qid%3D1147715352/202-7482746 -3346218
    I'd like to back it up now without any losses. In the Finder, it looks like a normal audio CD, so where's the additional information? Will I lose it if I back such music up as AIFF? Thus, should I copy audiophile CDs with Disk Utility or Toast?
    Thanks a lot!
    Peter

    SACDs are usually multi-layered discs. They keep the 'normal' CD quality audio and the high def audio on separate layers. What the Finder is showing is the normal CD layer. The HD layer is read by the SACD player.
    I don't know if you can copy the entire disc in a normal fashion using Toast or Disk Utility due to SACD copy protection.

  • HP Utility & Scan Software for Mac OS X Yosemite

    I just bought a new Mac with Yosemite and cannot find the HP Scan or Utility software on the HP website for anything newer than OS 10.6.  If I try to run the installer for 10.6, I receive an error message that my OS is too new.  I am afraid I won't be able to scan without HP's software.

    Hi,
    The HP Scan application is no longer available for your printer for later OS versions such as Yosemite, scanning however is do supported on the OS.

    Hello  BW Gurus ,
    I am Sandya  from Spain , I did my Masters in Information Technology , I learned SAP BW3.5 and ABAP from India (not from Authorized Training Partners) , I forwarded my Resume in Europe  , but unfortunately , I did not get any calls .
    I have decided to go for BW3.5 Certification Exam; here I have an opportunity to directly get registered for Exam.
    1)     If  I  pass my Exam  ,Will It become an  asset to my Initial Career , will it add some weight to my Resume, can I expect some calls from Employees ?
    2)     I have learnt BW3.5 so at this stage is it worthful to write Bw3.5 Certification or to go for BI 7.0, does the exam evaluated on percentage?
    3)     At an average how many days it takes for preparing BI certification Books, and writing  the Exam ?
    Answers to the above questions will help me a lot, Points will be allotted.
    Thank you .

    Hi Sandya,
    First of all you can not write BI 3.5 certification now.
    You need to write BI 7.0 certification.
    You need to study TBW10,TBW42,TBW20,DBW70R,TBW41,TBW45 books.
    If you have studied BW3.5 recently, then you can study the above books in 2 weeks time.
    If you have forgotten BW3.5, you need to study 6 weeks. Specially you need to study integrated planning portion which was not there in BW3.5.
    Certification is not tough if you are thorough in the basics.
    If you are certified, it adds value to to your CV and employer can make a decision in ur favour easilly.
    Now a days there is arising demand in BI.
    Best wishes to you.

  • Siemens, hyderabad abap certification..request for advise

    Hi all,
    i am planning to get trained in abap certification from siemens hyderabad. Can anyone let me know how is the training offered there and do they provide any placement assistance?
    regards..

    Hi
    Getting certified is not the problem,but check the opportunitites outside for Freshers who are SAP Certified. The market for experienced people itself is not really good at the moment, it is still picking up, so before investing so much money just check what are the opportunities after the certification. Siemens and All other institutes will offer Moon just to make money, but how far they fullfill what they promise is something you need to check with.
    The market right now is really not that fetching for freshers though you are certified.
    If you are confident of grabbing a job,based on the assistance Siemens provides(If at all It provides any CONCRETE assistance),then go ahead and join the course. I know guys who are certified and have no experience for which they had to wait lot of time to get a decent job.
    My opinion and Zubin's will differ,but there are always two sides of a coin.
    Vishwa.
