Disk Utility will not secure erase after 2015-002 security update

HI
I have a Mac Book Pro, May 2010, 2.4 ghz; 8gb ram; 500 gig hd (which I installed in Sept 2013), running Mac OS 10.9.5.  I am running Disk Utility Version 13. 
I run secure erase, single, three and seven passes, several times a week, and regularly clean out cache files.  I have used about 228 gb; 271 gb are free.
After installing Security Update 2015-002, I ran secure erase, single pass.  I got a failure message stating disk utility could not erase temporary file.  I ran secure ease, single pass, on the admin, everyday use and guest portions of my hard drive,  Same error message.
Is a solution beyond doing a Time Machine backup, wipe the hard drive clean on a single pass, and reinstall?  Buy a new hard drive?  Thanks

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

  • Disk Utility will not format/erase/partition an unformatted scsi disk

    Well, I'm back with a RAID problem again. This time the powers that be sent me a Sun Microsystems StorEDGE A5200 RAID box (22 33gig disks). It's a fibre channel system, and is full of Seagate FC disks. The box only hooks up to my G5 Quad via the Apple Fibre channel card that I have hooked up. It's a dual channel card and both are plugged into the back of the RAID array.
    Now, here's what I have.....
    The Drives show up in both Disk Utility and Anubis
    The is only one drive formatted and it works fine.
    All the rest of the drives are unformatted (not just blank, but without any operating system on them, just like they were fresh out of the box)
    Attempting to Erase a disk results in the message
    Disk erase failed
    Disk erase failed with the error:
    Invalid Argument
    Attempting to Partition a disk results in the message
    Partition failed with the error:
    Invalid Argument
    Attempting to create a RAID set results in the message
    Creating RAID set failed with the error:
    Could not add a RAID disk to a RAID. (note there was no other RAID set)
    Only one disk in the array is formatted and it will respond to all of the functions in Disk Utility.
    I was told that I needed to do something using the command line, but that was pretty vague as to what I needed to do. Apparently I need some sort of superuser authority to get these drives formatted, and that's it's not documented any where.
    So folks, I leave it up to you again, what do I do?

    OK, I have found out much in the last few weeks.
    1 - Apple no longer supports SCSI, you may not format disks in any way using OS X. OS 9 also does not work on any of the G5 machines at least.
    2 - You can use Linux to do most of the work with SCSI, it is still supported, although there is little clear documentation on how to get it done. Linux is free and works very well with my G5 Quad. But it has a steep learning curve and it's not worth it for just formatting SCSI drives.
    What I found out about my SCSI drives turned out to be the core of all the problems I have had, and it was Linux that found the problem. Seems all of the drives I have but one have been formatted in such a way that only the proprietary operating system that formatted them would read them. 520k data blocks. I reformatted several of the drives to 256k blocks and they work fine now.
    Before I go out and start going though this for a few hundred more of these drives, my academic supplier found just as many drives that were specifically formatted for use in Sun RAIDs and are properly recognized by OS X, and with twice the drive space (current is 36gig, new ones are 73gig). He is sending me 44 of them (and a second RAID box)
    I'm hoping that this finally solves the problem and hope all will be working soon.

    You need to be booted from another source as you cannot delete or reformat the drive you are booted from. See if you can either use the original install disks (Snow Leopard or earlier) or internet recovery (Lion or later) to boot from and then be able to use the Partition tab to partition and format it correctly.

    If you're truly running 10.6.8, there is no Recovery partition - that didn't come along until 10.7x.
    You'll need to use the set of gray discs that originally shipped with your model. If you don't have them, you can always get your serial number from the bottom of the casing and call Apple to get a set of replacement discs. These will run you about $20 + shipping & taxes. Once you have the discs, boot from Disk One and use Disk Utility to erase your HD and then reinstall whichever version of OS X that shipped with your model. No way around of getting the discs.

  • Disk Images will not mount and Disk Utility will not runru

    I am having some major problems with Disk Utility, Disk Images, and software update. First, Disk utility will not open or run. When I double-click the application icon, nothing happens, no message, nothing. I am running OSX 10.4.11. I have deleted diskutility prefs. I am able to run Disk Utility from the Startup DVD of Tiger. On first run, it verified and repaired permissions. I run verify and repair permissions several more times from Startup DVD and everything is fine. But Disk Utility on my startup HD will not work. Similary, NONE of my disk images will mount. No matter what Disk Image i try to mount, nothing will. And I cannot use Disk utility to mount them! So, no matter what I download, no images will mount. And thirdly, when I try to run software update, it will not work. I do get a message: it says, "Could not load Software Update." Finally, i tried to download Onyx to delete log files, etc.. but again, the disk image will not mount. I was able to install a dashboard widget called "maintidget" and was successful in running the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks. Can anyone help? Everything else works fine!!! All apps! Safari, Mail, iTunes, MS Office, everything works fine. Thanks for ANY help!

    Previously, I had run verify permissions, repair permissions multiple times(from startup DVD) - no probems found. Deleted disk utility prefs. Run the maintenance taskes (daily, weekly, monthly). Nothing worked. But, I forget to check the drive for problems. So I ran disk scan. It found "invalid node" and repair disk could not do it. So, do I erase and do a fresh install or get DiskWarrior? I am running Leopard so I do not have Time Machine but I have backed up my documents, iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, etc... Another thing I found out the hardway is to sync all your bookmarks, mail settings and messages, etc... with .mac if you have an account. Any more suggetions?

  • Disk Utility Will Not Open

    Disk Utility will not open. It will start but closes immediately. Removed com.apple.Diskutility.plist from user preference folder. Still will not open. Selected try again when that dialog box showed up. Rebooted. Same results.
    Rebooted from external source and ran Disk Utility.
    Apparently, something is missing in one of the libraries.
    Need help.

    Hey Doc, here's what I did to work your sugesstion: clean all three logs, attempted opening Disk Utility, and viewed all three logs. cdonsole.log and system.log were the same stating Disk Utility Crash.log was written to.

  • Disk Utility will not verify disk because, "The underlying task reported failure on exit."  Now what?

    Disk utility will not verify disk because, " The underlying task reported failure on exit."  The "repair disk" button does not light up.  The report says that repairs need to be made to the hard drive.  I have already checked permissions.  What do I do next to get the repair process started?  Also, I cannot find a defragmenting drive option in Disk Utility.  Doesn't it exist?

    You need to boot from the install DVD (or a clone of your internal) to run Repair Disk. Repair Disk will be grayed out, dimmed, because you can't repair from the same volume you are booted from.
    EDIT: No, you do not yet need to use Disk Warrior or Tech Tool or do any reformatting. These steps might become necessary only if Repair Disk fails.
    Unless you have very large video files, for example, there is no need to run any defragmenting utility. OS X does it all by itself on the fly.
    Try Disk Utility
    Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
        Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    Select your Mac OS X volume.
    Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    If you don't have the install DVD, try a Safe Boot. Hold the Shift key down at startup and give it much more time to boot than usual. It's trying to repair the drive directory.

  • IPhoto 06 and Disk Utility will not launch

    I have a friend who has upgraded to iLife 06 on her G4 Mirrored Doors and when she tries to launch iPhoto 06 it bounces in the dock and then stops. iWeb will launch, as well as iDVD and iMovieHD, but Disk Utility will not. I have used the Tiger Install DVD to repair permissions as well as run FSCK -fy in single user mode. Nothing seems to fix these problems. Any advice will be appreciated.
    TIA.
    Lance
    PowerBook G4 15 Al   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Since Disk Utility won't run I'd reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO updater. Then see if DU will launch. If so repair disk permissions with it. Then see if iPhoto will launch. If not then reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disks, update to 6.0.4 with System update, and then download and run the 6.0.5 updater (it will only run on 6.0.4). Then run Disk Utility again and repair disk permissions.
    Before reinstalling however, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder must be deleted along with the current application.

  • Disk Utility will not burn DVDs

    Disk Utility will no longer burn DVDs. I have tried both Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL -- Disk Utility tells me the disks are locked, not writable, capacity 0. These are fresh DVDs right off the spindle. I am, however able to write to these same DVDs using Burn, so it's not a media problem. Tried deleting preferences for Disk Utility, tried using Drive Genius 2 to repair the HD, but it didn't show any problems. Any solution short of doing a clean install of the system?

    Hi-
    Will the drive read any discs?
    Have you tried burning a disc at slower speed?
    Have you tried a different, quality brand of disc?

  • IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

    I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

    Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
    Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

  • DIsk Utility will not recognize my drive to erase.

    Hello,
    I am trying to erase my hard drive to install a new OS. I will be installing either OS 8.6 onto the 12 GIG ATA internal hard drive - the original hard drive.
    I am using an OS 10.1 installer CD.
    (I thought that DIsk Utility would be a better hard drive formatting utility than OS 8's drive setup utility.)
    I first started up from the OS 10.1 installer CD and it first takes me through a few basic questions about the language (I chose English) and then a licencing question and I clicked agree. When it asks me which volume I would like to choose, both of my hard drives are shown but they are greyed-out (dimmed). When I hover over them with the mouse pointer, a small message appears to the left that says something like:
    "This hard drive is dimmed because the CD installs all the languages"
    This doesn't seem to make any sense. I was booted form the CD.
    Why can I not use this installer to erase my hard drive?
    This is a retail version of OSX with a white label. It came with two disks: OS9 and 10.1. The symptoms described above happened with the 10.1 disk. Next I will try OS 9. However I would like to know why my DIsk Utility on the OS 10.1 CD didn't show my drive as available. Any suggestions why the hard dirves were grayed out?
    Thanks

    Thanks Lau for you comments.
    I need to install os8 because I need to run some old apps and I am using my os 9 for another computer I have.
    By the way, the HFS+ file system was suuported from OS 8.1 and after and so that is not an issue. Good idea though.
    And so I am back at my original question. It would appear that my OS X install disk doesn't like my blue and white G3's internal 12 GIG ATA drive and so I cannot format it with OSX Disk Utility. I would like to know why but for now I will just use OS 9 or OS8 drive setup. And so I have two choices: OS9 drive setup or OS8.5 Drive setup. Does it matter which I use? In other words is one better than the other? I will be later installing OS 8.6 onto this drive - and maybe OS 9 in the far future. I will try OS9's drive setup first.
    Yes, and so this is my most immediate question at this point:
    is there a difference between OS8.5 drive setup and OS9's Drive setup? (in terms or formatting a drive to install OS 8, 9 or even X maybe one day?) I will be using HFS+.
    And then my second question is my original question which is why doesn't my OS 10.1.5 Disk Utility select my 12 GIG ATA drive? (its greyed out - dimmed?)
    Thanks

  • Disk Utility will not open after 10.5.5 update..

    I'm unable to open disk utility, ive tried booting in safe mode and after restarts aswell, and the icon bounces and then quits. Pretty annoying, as i have the ichat video issue aswell and i need to repair permissions in order to fix this and I cant. I know i could boot disk utility off the install cd aswell, but that doesnt fix the problem of the app on my HD not opening..?
    Any help please..

    Hi, I would d/load the update again...maybe call AC'' ...L

  • Disk Utility will not partition or erase EHD

    I have a new WD external hard drive that was my Time Machine backup.  It acted weird on me and I set it aside forever. I have attempted to erase and partition the drive but it will not work.. it is not recongized on the desktop or Finder, but DU does see it but will not list a partition under its listing like other EHD do.  I have followed all the advice on WD help to swap cables, etc. WD told me that I have an operating system error that will not allow me to complete the erase or partition. 
    Do I have any options?

    I assume you have tried connecting the drive to a another computer? Another Mac, or even a Windows machine might be able to reformat that drive.
    But assuming that does not work there is another approach I would try. The problem might well be in the electronics of the external enclosure. (I have had more than one of these "bridge" circuit boards just quit working.) If that is the case the drive itself would work as an internal, or another enclosure. It is usually not difficult to open these external enclosures. After you do that it's easy to take out the hard drive and install it as a second drive in another computer. The only trick in that is to make sure the jumpers on the second drive are correctly configured for it to work as a secondary drive.

  • Bootcamp(and OSX Disk Utility) Will Not Create Partitions

    Hello all,
    I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Mac via Bootcamp assistant, every time i try to partition it fails at around 1/3 of the way through, saying "Some files cannit be moved". I have also tried to install manually using Disk Utility and booting into that partition for install, but again the partition fails, this time saying "Partition cannot be resized".
    In terms of trying to fix this, i have used iDefrag to defragement the hard drive, backed up, formatted and restored the hard drive from the install disks, repaired the disk from the install disks and spent hours looking on the web. Is a complete reinstall what is necessary here?
    NB - I have tried all these on both my Macs and the same result each time, so i'd say it has to be OS related(im running the latest version of Snow Lepard of both)
    Thanks

    And what computers are you trying to do this on? Model/year, etc, would be very helpfull.

    That means there are files that aren't allowed to be moved that are in the way of the new install. You have to defrag the whole HD or backup your files and erase/reformat the whole HD in order to fix it. With you using iDefrag it should have fixed that problem. Did you defrag it from another HD or from the DVD as some defrag utilitys won't work right if you do it from the start up disk.

    Not sure what you mean by "tried to install manually............"  Disk Utility (BC Assistant) has to be the one to partition it first. The W7 installer will the do the formatting, NTSF, fat32, etc,.
    Partition cannot be resized is a problem that crops up some times for what ever reason and I'm not sure of the fix for that, usually an erase/format is the only way to fix it. Again, Disk Utility has to be the one to change the partition scheme. Larger or smaller, and it's fairly dangerous to change the size of a partition after the fact.

    Not exactly sure here either?
    Did you do the WHOLE hd, completely erased then formatted it back to ONE partition? Then have Boot Camp Assistant repartition it for the Windows install?
    Is a complete reinstall what is necessary here?
    Isnt that what you just did?
    I would just back-up your files to another HD and just start all over.
    Erase the WHOLE drive, partition as ONE whole section, format it, install 10.6x again, update everything first, then have Boot Camp Assistant start the whole process again and it should be fine.
    Make sure you leave enough room for Windows to grow so you don't have to do this again. The last game I installed was 8 gigs, if you add another 5 games that are around 5 gigs each then you just added 33 gigs with just a few games installed, not counting the size of the saves, etc. A 50 gig Windows partition isn't goiung to last very long.

Maybe you are looking for
