Does techtool work properly with leopard on macbook pro?

I was noticing some issues on my mac, so I decided to run the techtool deluxe program that comes with applecare and well... it discovered some errors.
This is a new macbook pro that I bought from the applestore. Instead of upgrading to leopard, i did a clean install
Heres the errors:
Directory Scan
Failed
Performs a read test of the directory area for the selected volume.
Media defects cause this test to fail. You should consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.
urface Scan
Failed - 1 errors
The Surface Scan test will scan the disk for bad blocks.
Media defects cause this test to fail. You should consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.
Volume Structure
Failed
TechTool Deluxe can scan volumes for problems related to the numerous structures that are necessary for the volumes to operate correctly. If problems are found, TechTool Deluxe can attempt to repair the damage to help reduce the chance of future problems.
If TechTool Deluxe has discovered problems with the volume structure of a volume, allow the program to repair the problem. Quite often these issues are minor, but sometimes they can be indicative of a more serious problem. If the problem persists, consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.

Thanks for all the replies.
Okay so this morning i called apple support, and i told them I think my hard drive is failing and the problems I've been having.
Told him i ran the techtool cd that comes with the apple protection box, and did research online and told them what the community thought of my issue. Although he didn't seem to impressed about what the community said lol.
So he told me to boot up using the leopard CD to run a disk repair utility. Upon trying to run the utility it failed, so he said it does seem to be a hard drive problem and to take it into an apple store to see what they can do for me. Now after i got off the phone with him, i went to restart my mac so i can start backing up the data and guess what?
It wouldn't boot anymore after trying to run the disk repair!!! Luckily a day ago, i backed up my data because I was afraid of my hard drive failing lol. Good thing i did!!!
So 2 hours later i went into the apple store that was packed with shoppers, and was actually able to make an appointment with a mac genius in under 10 minutes lol. He asked me what was happening, and look at my laptop.
And well, they replaced the entire laptop .
I've brought the laptop home and after installing leopard on a clean install, I ran the techtool again and received no errors!!!!
So now im reinstalling all the programs into my new mac
Thank you for all your replies.

Does PPBM6 work properly with Adobe's free trial CS6 download?

Does PPBM6 work properly with Adobe's free trial download of Premiere Pro CS6?
Does the CS6 download include the 6.0 level release, or is it the latest version (or at least download patchable to the latest version)?
If anyone has actually done exactly this, please share your experience?
Thanks,
Jim

Randall,
Just a snippet from my mail to Bill about testing results up to now:
MPEG2 results appear to be dependent not on number of cores, but on amount of memory, next to the video card and maybe memory controller. How else would your SB be faster than your 980 with the same video card and 4 cores versus 6? I think 32 GB versus 24 GB is the differentiating factor here, as well as the memory controller on the SB, or am I trying to find explanations that are not there?
Disk I/O is purely a matter of sustained transfer rates. Number of cores is irrelevant here. I don't have sufficient data yet to determine whether amount of memory will be influential, but I assume there is a lower limit when the results will further decrease. We are talking about a 37,092 MB file being written to disk and the sustained transfer rate can be negatively influenced by a limited amound of memory.
MPEG2-DVD as shown above.
H.264 is mainly a factor of number of cores, size of the L3 cache, amount and speed of the memory and clock speed.
MPE Gain is a resultant calculated number. It is hard to interpret, I admit, but in general you will see that the better a system is performing, the lower the Gain figure. Very fast systems can handle software MPEG2-DVD encoding quite well, slower systems struggle with that task, but with hardware MPE even slower systems achieve around the same figure as faster systems and the consequence is that slower systems show a higher gain.
Further notice that the new Total Time figure is only the sum of Disk I/O + MPEG2-DVD + H.264-BR. In the PPBM5 test we included the rendering test as well, but since we no longer use that, it is no longer a part of the Total score. Also, the weighing of test results to calculate the RPI has been adjusted for this new test.
Hope this gives some informative background info.

How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!, How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!

I recently installed os leopard on my power MAC G5 and my DVD studio pro 3 application is not working properly as it used to be. I was unable to create motion menu and build the dvd properly. Then I deleted and reinstall dvd studio pro 3, but it did not solve the problems. What should I do?

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't work in 10.5.x, possibly because of the version of Quicktime...
System Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.2
733 MHz or faster PowerPC processor (G4 minimum) and AGP graphics card
256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
20 GB available disk space
8 MB of video memory (32 MB recommended)
QuickTime 6.5
DVD drive required for installation
I think your going to need a dual boot Mac with 10.4.x on another drive or partition.

Traceroute does not work properly with IPMP

I know this question has been asked many times but i didn't find any solution for it. Traceroute does not work with IPMP configured as intended.
i have following interfaces configured on my system
nxge2: flags=201000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 4
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
groupname test

now if i do
#traceroute 10.63.20.29
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 10.63.20.30 @ nxge2:1

1 10.63.20.29 (10.63.20.29) 0.124 ms 0.036 ms 0.033 ms
it uses nxge2:1 interface instead of nxge2:2 and if disable the IPMP on nexge2 it works fine as expected
# traceroute 10.63.20.29
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 10.63.20.29 @ nxge2:2

Why is it so and how can i make it work with IPMP

SQL command (with XPath) does not work properly with JSP

Hello everyone,
I try this SQL command on Oracle SQL Developer,
select filename,
extract(xml_col, '/Operation/Records/tabDetail/Vehicle_Level/text()') as Vehicle_Level,
extract(xml_col, '/Operation/Records/tabDetail/Vehicles_Closed/text()') as Vehicles_ID
from ope
where upload_datetime in
(select min(upload_datetime)
from ope
where (TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(upload_datetime, 'DD-MM-YYYY'),'DD-MM-YYYY'))
between TO_DATE('01-01-2008','DD-MM-YYYY') and TO_DATE('01-07-2008','DD-MM-YYYY')
HAVING (filename like '60-1-%')
GROUP BY filename);
It works properly, the result is :
FILENAME --------------------- VEHICLE_LEVEL --------------------- VEHICLES_ID
60-1-OPE-1.xml --------------------- 3 --------------------- 60-1-VEH-43
But when I try this command on JSP, the result is :
FILENAME --------------------- VEHICLE_LEVEL --------------------- VEHICLES_ID
60-1-OPE-1.xml --------------------- null --------------------- null
I don't want "null" value, but I don't know where is wrong. Please help me.
Thank you very much.

If you know that the videos and music have been working before and that the ID3 tags are correct I suggest that you try to reinstall the phone software using Update Service.

Let me know if these problems remains after reinstall.

My Nokia N9 does not work properly with a camera a...

Hi guys! Some time ago I noticed that when I turn on the camera, a message appears "CAMERA NOT RESPONDING Close application?". Shortly after the camera is turned on. Almost is the same with the maps apllication. The message is "MAPS NOT RESPONDING Close application?", but the difference is that it does not work at all. Has anyone had such problem?

Thanks aspergerduy! Of course it was the first step which I made, but unfortunately it did not work. Anyhow, I read some discussion in the Forum and finally I fixed the problem. It seems that the problem is well known. Now my N9 works but I don't know how long it will be. Frankly speaking during reading the discussions I didn't expect so many problems incur by this phone set! It is so pity ...

Does airplay work for streaming videos on macbook pro ?

I got the 2011 13'' macbook pro, and at the moment, I don't have a tv, which I usually use netflix on but I moved. How can I take advantage of my home theater speakers which are about 10 feet in front of me while watching netflix on my macbook pro other then getting a super long audio cable.

Can't boot from external HD with Leopard on MacBook Pro or PowerBook

I can't boot from an external HD with 10.5.5 Leopard on either my MacBook Pro or my PowerBook G4. I had a PowerBook G4 from which I could boot from either an external FW400 drive or an external FW800 drive. At some point, I stopped being able to boot from any HD, but I'm not sure if it was after upgrading to Leopard or not? Recently I just bought a MacBook Pro 15" and transferred all my files over from the PowerBook to the MacBook Pro during the install. However, even with the new computer, still cannot boot from an external drive. I have Leopard 10.5.5 running on both the external HD and the internal HD.
Is this a common problem? Anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks!

That probably wasn't very clear was it? I have several ext. HD's, some with bootable systems and some just backups. One bootable disk was made with CopyCloner and the other was a clean format and only had an original install of the OS just to use for an emergency boot. They both booted just fine. Then at some point, they stopped being bootable. I have used the Control Panel "Startup" and also used the Option key boot and picked the bootable disk. Neither one boots anymore. It started doing this on the old PowerBook and then also refused to boot on the MacBook Pro. This is not the problem with the HD since it happens with any bootable HD. Something is going on at the system level and it was transfered from the PowerBook to the MacBook.
Thanks,
Bill

How do I log on remotely to my work computer with my new MacBook Pro?

I just got a new MacBook Pro and am trying to access my work computer in Texas. I did this regularly with my old computer, just signed in on the remote computer link. I can't find any remote links on this computer. Can you walk me through that? I'm sure it's obvious but I'm missing it! Thanks! Margaret

Hello, Margaret,
Unless you're running Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's application for managing networked Macs, this probably won't be the best place for you to get help with your issue. I would suggest you ask again in the Mac OS X Networking forum. When you repost, please be sure to include full details: the OS version on your MacBook Pro, what type of system you're trying to connect to, and what sort of access you're referring to; sharing files, taking control of the system, or what. That way people will have more information on which to base suggestions.
Good luck.

Apple thunderbolt display - Can i work it with the new MacBook Pro's, which have a HDMI Output?

I Bought my Apple thunderbolt display around 2 years ago now, tougther with my MacBook pro. I am thinking of switching my MacBook out tough with a new one this summer.
But will the new 2013/2014 macbook's work with my thunderbolt display???
/Nikolaj

Yes. The New Retina MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports. Plug the display into one of the Thunderbolt ports.
You will need a MagSafe adapter.

My keyboard does not work after installation on a MacBook Pro.

Can anyone help me?

Chances are that you've shorted the terminals on the keyboard, and will need to be replaced… When the keyboard on unibody MacBook Pro's is replaced the whole 'top case' will be done, trackpad etc… Now generally it is highly unlikely that the Liquid submersion indicators will have been activated unless the cloth was saturated with water. Also unless you purchased the AppleCare protection plan your MacBook will be out of warranty and will require an out of warranty repair.
From knowledge out of warranty repair for a top case assembly it's £163 and a level 2 hardware repair is £28

HT1338 does OS X come with a new Macbook Pro

I bought a new Macbook Pro, just wounderign do i have to buy OS X or, do it come free??

Depends on the date the Mac was built. At this point it should come with 10.8. However, if you boot it up and find it has 10.7 or something thereabouts you can apply for a free copy of Mountain Lion.

Does anyone have GIMP working *properly* with Leopard?

If so, how did you get it working? It is killing me that I can't use GIMP for the time being.

I rarely use GIMP, but I did launch and run it in Leopard just to see if it would, and it did. I opened an image, cropped it, inverted colors, added a new layer, changed the mode of interacting between the layers, and resaved as a psd file. Everything seemed to be working fine. I just copied over the last version I had in Tiger and double clicked it. X11 launched, then a slight pause, the GIMP splash screen appeared, did its loading, and it was up and running. The Tiger version I copied was GIMP-2.4-rc3-intel, which I had downloaded a month or so ago.
