Disk Utility stopped repairing the disk. I was instructed to backup as many of my files as possible.reformat the disk and restore my backed up files. Since I use time machine, can I assume that all my files and programs can be restored from my recent back ups?

Hi jeromefrodia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand that you are concerned about your data before reformatting the disk. Because you use Time Machine your information should be safe. Please refer to the attached article for information about what Time Machine backs up and how to restore from that backup.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
Cheers,

My computer, running on Lion, randomly flashes with crazy lights and colors. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it's totally random. What causes this problem and how can I solve it?

My MacBook Pro, running on Lion, randomly flashes with crazy lights and colors. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it's totally random. It looks like the Northern LIghts!!!
What causes this problem and how can I solve it?

Really? Oh I get it. You're the kind of person who goes on tech message boards to make jokes - or friends.
Well, I'm trying to solve this problem - which is a rather annoying way to spend a Saturday.
SO either help or don't reply.

THANKS !!!

I'm sorry, is there a question here? You seem to know precisely what you need to do…

Can I fix a disk with this message?-Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.

Can I fix a disk with this message?
Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.

Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
Buy a new Drive. Or two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas.

DISK UTILITY STOPPED REPAIRING MACINTOSH HD!

So initially, my mac just was stuck on the white screen with grey apple logo and the spinning wheel. It wouldn't move! So I held down the power button and turned it off, let it rest for good 8 hours, turned it back on and it was still the same! With the help of some online postings: command + control + p + r, I got to the Disk Utility page and I tried checking for any damage. For most part everything was"ok" or "clear"! Then I ran 'VERIFY DISK' for MACINTOSH HD and some problems occurred. I clicked on 'REPAIR DISK' as promted. It said "DISK UTILITY STOPPED REPAIRING MACINTOSH HD: Disk Utitlity can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT ! I have not backed up a single thing on my mac!

If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Disk Utility stopped repairing Mac HD - Now what?

My computer has been running slow so I cleaned up my desktop, trashed a bunch of old files and went to verify permissions. I was then told to use disk repair.
In the middle of doing so I got this message - "Disk Utility stopped repairing 'Macintosh HD'. Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
Besides occasional slowness, my computer is working fine and I was able to get back to my desktop. Is this slow down issue going to get progressively worse if I don't reformat the disk? Should I do what the message says? If so, how? I've never reformatted before...it sounds a little scary.
I back up about once a week (just did so this morning) so I should be good to go there. I have AppleCare. Is this something I should bring the computer in for or can I fix this issue on my own?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Do as instructed. Get your self a backup drive if you don't have one. Backup your files. Then erase your OS X volume and reinstall Mountain Lion.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Disk Utility stopped repairing "disk1s2"-a partition from an external hard disk

I bought a new Seagate Go Flex Desk 2TB exernal HD.Three days ago one of the three partitions(1.7TB) on this HD stopped working,when i tried to repair the volume in Disk Utility it stoped repairing, showing the following message-
Verify and Repair volume “disk1s2”
Checking file systemChecking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Invalid sibling link
Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
The volume could not be repaired.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Now the problem is after starting it only shows the other two partitions,in Disk Utility the problematic volume no longer bears the name given by me and shows 'disk1s2' in dimmed letters. I had some nessesary piece of data in that volume.My question is-
1.Is there any oter software that i can try to fix with?
2.If i reformat the disk and ceate the partition again would it work smoothly?
3.there were power cut off 7-8 times when using the HD,if it's the reason ten why the other two partitions are working properly?One of these volumes used to contain Time Machine Back-up.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I have (kind of) a simmilar problem with yours, does DiskWarrior really helped?? Since it's not free, is there any other program that might helped ???

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
More details here > iOS: Syncing with iTunes

Disk Utility stops repairing Time Capsule backup with no info

After having problems backing up to a long-term stable backup on TC, I have tried using Disk Utility to repair the sparsebundle.
The repair begins, but never finishes. And no details are left in DU to decode what happened.
Does this mean sparsebundle corrupt? Or a problem with DU?

Sugith Varughese wrote:
Wow, DU by ethernet IS much faster than wireless!
Unfortunately, DU said the sparse bundle was okay, but when I tried another TC backup, it failed again.
I assume this means there's no option but to delete the sparse bundle and start again?
No. There may be nothing at all wrong with the TC or sparse bundle. We need to know why it failed. Without the actual message(s), we're shooting in the dark. Start with #C2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.
If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, your setup, what you've done, and the results.

HT2041 I receive an error message when opening up a downloaded program as "Safari can't open the file because no availabel application can open it". Not sure what exactly this means or what I have to do!

What is the file?
Where did you get it from?

My early 2011 MBP 17 started showing a thin vertical red line one inch from the left edge of the screen. Does anyone know what causes this problem?

Does anyone know what causes a thin vertical red line on the display?

There is a problem with the display or the connection to the display. Take it to an Apple store genius bar for a definitive diagnosis. The diagnosis will be free, any repairs will not be free.
Ciao.

HELP!! Can anyone tell me what causes this problem?

I will paste a link below to a screen grab I took of my desktop. I've never seen this before. Could you please tell me what this could be? The best way I could describe it is to describe it as warping effect on various windows.
This has occurred when using photoshop, after effect, illustrator, the OS. Basically I've seen it occur on just about every type of browse window viewable on the Mac.
I reformatted the mac and it still occurs.
I am using a MacPro 2 x 3 GHz Quad Core with 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500. I have an internal 750 GB HD for the OS and 4x750 GB internal RAID for storage. (I do a lot of video work.)
Here's the link:

PS> Even if you have no clue what this is, can you please let me know if you have seen it before or not?? I am completely lost. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi... you're my only hope.

Afraid I haven't seen that before. The only thing I could suggest is to boot from the 1st Install disk and run the hardware test. I would wonder about the video card. You might also post in the MacPro forum. I just got MY MacPro today, and the MacPro Forum is where I would go:

The only other thing I can think of is to launch Console from the Utilities folder and see if any errors are being reported.
