Disk utility. start up disk

Trying to run disk utility from the start up disk.
I insert install disk #1.
Restart while pressing C key.
I just get the language thing then the installer.
There is no disk utility or installer menu.
If I press continue, it's a dead end only installation choices with no escape or restart.
What am I leaving out?
Thanks.

One event showed the warning in your link.
Another was the white on black lines of text appearing.
The thing that just happened was a plain freeze, everything stops.
My Lacie EX HD and card reader were unplugged during the last freeze up.The printer was plugged in but off.
The Wacom tablet is plugged into the display.
I have a USB hub which only had the printer plugged into it.
I have an iMac plugged into the same router but it was shut down.
There are some JBL speakers plugged in.
I emailed Epson a few days ago because accessing the drivers was not clear to me.
They wrote back only describing how to set it up with the installed driver. Nothing about an update.

Disk utility started, but a background process needed in disk utility didn'

I am stumped. I have talked to tech support, read many threads on this error message, tried all the suggested solutions, and still I get this message "Disk utility started, but a background process needed in disk utility didn't start properly. Please quit and restart disk utility."
The problem has been around for a while apparently. One technique called for removing iTunes to the desktop, trashing certain files in the library, then running disk utility. This did not work. Another suggestion was to trash, of all thing, the Chess program. This also did not work. Booting from the installation disk and running disk utility there to repair permissions also apparently does not work. Nor do third party software, such as YASU seem to get through to repair permissions.
Given the number of discussion boards addressing this problem, i was stunned that applecare/tech support person I talked to had never heard of it. Please please please help!

If you moved Disk Utility from the /Applications/Utilities directory, i.e. the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder, move it back to that folder.
If memory serves, the "workaround" you cited involving iTunes only applies if you are using Mac OS X 10.3.9.
Good luck!

Trying to Burn a CD and disc utility starts

I am helping my parents with their iMac 2ghz intel core 2 duo running Tiger 10.4.11. I put in a CD to burn a disc and Disc Utility starts up and will not allow me to burn a disc. Why is this happening? It doesn't give me the little pop up window where I can choose itunes or finder. THey had the ability until recently. And these are the same CDs as before.
HELP!

Hi.
Go to System Preferences/CDs & DVDs, and in the "When you insert a blank CD" field, select "Ask what to do".
Good Luck.

AirPort Utility starts on login

Just started doing this recently... I have no idea why
There are three devices in the house:
- AirPort Extreme
- AirPort Wireless
- AirPort Express
I am running OSX Lion on my new Macbook Pro 15"
Every time I reboot or start up, the AirPort Utility starts up...
As you can see, this program is not in my Startup Items
Nor is it checked as "Open at Login" on the Dock
Any ideas? Things to look for?

just to back up the last post
"Click Continue to resolve problems"
I click "Continue"... now it is saying "there are no problems", lol.... make up your mind Extreme!
I am having HORRIBLE luck with Apple stuff today

HP Laserjet utility starts and fails to go away after print job

I have an HP Laserjet 1300 hooked to an Airport base station. After the Leopard install (a default, Upgrade install from 10.4.10), I had to re-ADD that printer in the Print & FAX Preferences panel -- it wasn't simply remembered. That went fine, and printing works as expected.
EXCEPT: The HP Laserjet 1300 "utility" application (for managing the print queue) now activates with each print job -- not just when there is a problem such as "out of paper" as before. No problems are actually reported during or after the print job. And when the print job finishes, it doesn't go away. I have to manually Quit it.
I can't find any option to have the "utility" activate only when it has some problem to report (i.e., the way it worked under Tiger), or to make it go away automatically when all print jobs are finished. Any suggestions?
NOTE: When ADDing the printer in the Print & FAX utility, it did go looking for "new drivers", but didn't announce it found or installed anything new.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for:
Right click on the printer utility icon in the dock when you see it still sitting in there. Select "Auto Quit" from the pop up menu. Click on the utility to select it and open its queue window. Manually quit the utility.
After those steps it appears the utility now activates in the dock and then goes away after each print job that finishes normally.
Solved!

After restoring BIOS from USB still HP BIOS Utility starts

Hi guys, after a BIOS update my HP Pavilion 15-e026sl not boot anymore, it does the following scheme:
I press the power button
Power, Bloc Maiusc and wifi lights and fan on but dark screen
2/3 seconds and everything shut down
The pc automatically reboot with bloc maiusc light flashing
HP Bios update starts with the need to recovery Bios because it's corrupted
Flash the Bios, but when verifying the bios flashed I got error
Everything restart from point 4
So, I read on this forum and on the HP Support Center how to create the famous "HP_TOOLS" USB stick in order to restore the BIOS image. (With another pc) From the Support Page of my Pavilion 15-026sl I downloaded the latest BIOS update (F.23), I started the .exe file and I created the USB Stick choosing the correct option.
Then I put the USB on the Pavilion and with Win + B + Power combination the pc started to recover BIOS from USB, and this is the log that I extracted from the USB stick:

Download the current BIOS Rompaq on another Windows PC. Double click it to open it. Choose the" create a recovery USB flash drive to use on devices with corrupted BIOS." option
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-134117-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Plug a 2GB or larger capacity flash drive into an available port
Once the recovery usb flash drive has been created, plug it into your pavilion 15 notebook and press the power button to boot to it and write a fresh bios rom file into the CMOS ROM to replace the corrupted one currently there.

How do I undo BC Partition repair in disk utility?

Here's the summary:
8-core MacPro2,1 running 10.6.8, Paragon NTFS for Mac, Bootcamp Win7.
4 internal HDD drives: two 1.5TBs for data, one 1TB for MacOS, one 1.5TB for Win7 bootcamp.
I mostly use the Mac side for music production (but rarely), and the Win side for business and everything else. Scores and scores of Win apps installed over the years. [4 monitor system], well over 500K files on the drive.
I just backed up the data from the two data-only drives, and made a bootable clone of the MacOS drive (SuperDuper). I have never successfully been able to clone the Win7 Bootcamp NTFS drive (even with Winclone back in 2009) because of volume sizes (or something). I decided to try again, from WITHIN Windows this time (all other attempts were from the Mac OS side).
I bought, downloaded, and installed Acronis True image from within the Win7 bootcamp system. [I obviously did not know that it was gonna modify my MBR, and I had no idea at the time that the GPT and MBR areas were somehow 'mingled' on a bootcamp drive.]
So, when I performed the Acronis-requested reboot (my default boot is into the Bootcamp/Win7 drive), it failed to boot and requested some Windows recovery media or something. I was concerned that anything i put in the DVD drive would sabotage my priceless (in retrospect) stable/optimized Win7 bootcamp system. So, i just hard-powered down the Mac and tried to restart.
I did the Alt/option key, and i was presented with the Mac or Win drive icons. I selected Win, and then I got a different boot error message--'no MBR found'.
But this time i realized that Acronis had stepped where it shouldn't have, and I figured the Mac side could fix the boot problem (maybe with bootcamp assistant or something).
If i had stopped THERE, and searched the forums i could have found how to fix THAT problem--that has been answered tons of times…
But, instead, i went to Disk Utility and asked it to repair my Bootcamp partition (I have Paragon NTFS and it has worked for years, and so I did not have a reason to doubt Disk Utility's ability to Repair an NTFS volume--not that i have tried it before, of course).
Disk Utility repair ran for about 10-15 minutes and said it fixed about 10-20 things.
The drive information (in the side bar and below) still had the BOOTCAMP partition, reported that it was NTFS, said that there was 308 GB still available of the 1.5TB drive, and that it contained 1.19TB 'used'. Looked normal to me.
I closed Disk Utility and then opened a Finder window to see if DU left any 'artifacts' of its 'fixes' on the BOOTCAMP partition, and all the files were gone! Even though DU said it had 1.19TB 'used', all of my files are gone. [I rebooted also, to verify that it was not some 'delayed reporting' issue.]
When I enable 'hidden files' to show, what I get on the Bootcamp partition are these three entries:
.DS_Store (16KB), .fseventsd folder (with a 1KB UUID file inside it), and a .Trashes folder with zero KB.
At this point, I panic and assume the position of despair. There is no 'undo' key for the D/U that I can find. I do an orderly shut down of the system, physically remove the Win7 BC drive, and make/verify a sector-by-sector clone of the drive (on a Win7 laptop, using Acronis--22 hours).
In Win7 Disk Management, the GPT partition (on the original drive) shows up and the BOOTCAMP partition shows up--with the proper size--but windows does NOT recognize the partition as being NTFS. It reports it as being RAW and 'urges' me to format it (yeah, right…).
So, I place the sector-by-sector duplicate back into the Mac, boot up (only the Mac OS is given as an option), and am ready to 'work on' recovering the Win7 BC partition (if possible).
I am avoiding trying to fix the booting problem, because recovery of the 1.2TB of a working system is much more critical for me.
The clone HDD reports the same in DU, except now the GPT partition shows up as greyed-out 'disk1s1', right above the "BOOTCAMP" partition in the sidebar. [I understand from researching this that disk1s1 is somehow related to the bootloader for BC?]
I used the demo version of Data Rescue 3 to scan for recoverable files from the drive, but it doesn't even report the .files. (I am running the deep scan now, but will take about another 9 hours to complete that).
Has anybody got any suggestions on how to reclaim this partition and its system?

I cannot be the only one who has much such a catastrophic error, so I am hoping that there is something I have overlooked (being only a part-time Mac user) or there is some utility somewhere which can fix this--
Or if you need more data, let me know...
thank you for your time--gmm

How can I completely restore my mac when I haven't made a backup and my hard drive can't be repaired with Disk Utility?

If I use FireWire target disk mode to copy the entire hard drive to another external drive can I then erase the damaged hard drive, reinstall Lion with it's handy recovery function and copy everything back as it was?
I have an iMac (using Time Machine) which contains much of what is on the damaged MacBook Pro but the laptop has music and photos that only exist there... So can I restore the laptop from the iMac's Time Machine backups?
Just wanted some advice before I take the plunge...
Thanks,
Joe

Maybe. But you'd be better off to make a "bootable clone," via CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or the Restore tab of Disk Utility. Then you can start up from the clone (hold the Option key while starting and select it from the display you'll get after a few moments), and make sure everything's there (at least as well as on your internal HD).
I'd then strongly recommend also making a second backup, on a separate HD, "just in case" something goes wrong with the first one before you get this fixed. That doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
But . . . are you sure you have to erase the HD? If it's directory damage, you may be able to fix it. See #6 in Using Disk Utility, start with the yellow box there.

Yes, you can do that, by erasing the internal HD, installing OSX, then using Setup Assistant when it first starts up, to set it up just like the iMac. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion.
But try to fix the problem first; if that doesn't work, try the "clone" method. If it works, you won't lose the stuff on the MBP.
I guess I don't need to remind you, once this is sorted out, to make regular backups of the MBP, do I?

Disk Utility crashed?

Hi guys does the below mean anything to anyone.
I had a CD in the dvd drive (a game play disk) and when i pressed the eject key on the keyboard the CD did not eject, so i open Disk Utility to eject the CD that way and Disk Utility locked up.
So tried to restart and shut down via the apple menu. No Joy.
The only thing i can think off is i had a disk image mounted that was on my NAS (It was a game dvd of 1.2GB, the program was installed, the image of the install DVD was mounted to save time while playing the game) and that is what caused the conflict between to mounted images? One in the dvd drive and one on the NAS, but they were different games so i don't get it.
That said the play disk on the NAS was Mounted with Toasts 'Mount It' option - right click - More - 'Mount It' as if i used 'DiskImageMounter' (default) the game would ask for the install CD.
I have ran the AHT and ASD - all OK, and ran remember via single user - all OK
I just want to understand what happened.
The best bit is while the mac was locking up bit by bit, as System Preferences then decided to lock up, i tried Toast 7, to eject the CD, it locked up. Spotlight was OK so ran terminal and as Safari was OK browsed the web and tried various command line shut downs and using activity monitor force quite apps. I managed to shut down to the logging off blue screen with spinning wheel before my G5 decided to do no more and i had to do a forced shut down.
I was able to open the Dashboard widgets but the Drive Health.wdgt didn't work and still doesn't?
If i put the game play disk in the G5 and open Disk Utility it locks up again, i had to do another forced shut down.
After restarting i put the game disk in and opened Disk Utility again and all was OK. Tried 3 more ejects and re-inserting, all OK.
I checked my 2 drives SMART info, for piece of mind, via Drive Health.wdgt but it would not display any info, it wouldn't update.
So i have just booted of my firewire HD and the Drive Health.wdgt works fine and the only difference between my firewire HD and my local HD is that i have run applejacks since i re-imaged, and further examinations reveal that the error relating to the Drive Health.wdgt is a permissions error so i am even more baffled than when i started.

Houston, we have a problem...
This happens on a very recent MacPro with plenty of memory, and the external hard drive is a My Book 1TB from Western Digital. Tried both interfaces, firewire or USB2 - same problem.
Apple, any idea? Will I be able to use my hard drive for time machine?

I am having this problem as well. Is there any way to get it resolved? This is a MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz with a Santa Rosa chipset. I burned a DVD successfully almost a month ago:
Disk Utility: Burn started, Mon Dec 24 14:58:03 2007

Which is the same type of DL DVD. I am using Sony DL discs.

Disk Utility - Can't repair Disk - Help needed :(

Hi,
I have some trouble to use Disk Utility (on my iBook G4 - 1.33 Ghz+1 GB RAM)
I run Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions, which worked, and then Verify Disk. HEre is the logged result:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Disk Utility stopped verifying “E=G4” because the following error was encountered:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wanted to run Disk Repair, but the button would not highlight, therefore could not be started.
I retried today, and now the Verify Disk task won't even work, blocking Disk Utility (needs force quit)
(E=G4 is the name of my Hard Drive on the iBook)
I also tried TechTool Deluxe coming with Applecare protection plan, but TTD can not check the "Volume Structure".
Has anyone got any tips or sequence to solve this?
Thanks in advance
Yann

I just ran the Disk Utility, and cannot very disk. It gives me an error message;
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
and when I run the repair, this is the message:
The volume GERRARD could not be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
Repair attempted on 1 volume
1 volume could not be repaired
Prior to running Disk Utility, I have already tried DiskWarrior, and could not repair my disk. Anyway I can fix this problem??? Formatting the disk would be my last option (though I am unsure if it will fix the problem). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continue to back up my file, and delete unused data and try to run it again.
Thank you all very much for any input.
Cheers,
Matt

Disk utility won't MOUNT .iso images to disk?

For some reason Disk Utility started only showing a "to erase a rewritable cd or dvd so you can write it again" screen when i click on my dvd drive. I am trying to Mount a .iso file to a disk, It will let me "burn" the files to a disk, but that does me no good. I don't know what i did to mess this up, but i can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I downloaded Virtual DVD drive a while ago and i think it screwed it up. I am trying to mount a .iso file to a dvd to make a bootable disk, does anyone know what my problem might be?

Don't use Disk Utility for this. Use DiskImageMounter, which will launch automatically when you double click the .iso file. If it doesn't, right click the .iso, select Open With, and choose DiskImageMounter.

Can't repair Macintosh HD in Disk Utility (extended attributes)

Hi all,
I have a Retina Macbook Pro with one of them new fancy SSDs in it. I'm running 10.9.3 all up-to-date and am a bit computer-savvy, but I'm more than puzzled by what my Mac has been doing as of late.
When trying to install Windows via Bootcamp, I ran into an error message in the Partitioning step of the process. I hopped into Disk Utility, figuring I could simply partition from there (something in me trusts Disk Utility more than the Boot Camp Assistant). Partition failed!
I then executed the "Verify Disk" command in Disk Utility, only to be told I needed to restart from the Recovery Partition and use the "Repair Disk" function of Disk Utility then. Log of this whole event is at the end of this post, but the offending line seems to be
2014-06-12 20:59:30 -0400: Checking extended attributes file.
2014-06-12 20:59:30 -0400: (It should be 15783744 instead of 14437995)
I then restarted and followed these instructions. "Verify Disk" found no errors, nor did "Repair Disk." I rebooted, only to be met with the same problem!
Is there some sort of lower-level command I can use to repair my disk if I boot in Single User mode or something?
Thanks,
Nathan

I'm having a similar problem with my G4 Desktop.
I have a 2nd internal hard drive and 2 FW Drives.
None of them are able to be verified or repaired using DU.
I get the following message: "Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk." And then some message about "make sure that all your files are closed."
I tried soft-booting by holding the shift-key down just as a trouble-shooting idea and I was able to verify and the drives were working well. However, when I restarted in normal mode I was not able to verify or repair.
What is my G4's problem? Why does it need to use that secondary drive in order to operate? What do I need to do to fix it?
Any suggestions?
G4 Dual 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 Gig Ram / 2 Internal Hard Drives
