Drive Errors again... What does this mean?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what all this means?
I had some S.M.A.R.T errors in the recent past, and now when I launched Safari tonight it seemed to take a few minutes to get to the home page. I pulled up the console.app and got these messages:
console.log (sorry for the wrapping text).

If your having SMART problems with your drive, you should prepare to get a new one. It could be gone at any moment.
SyndicationAgent is your Safari RSS feed, it does it's job every half a hour.
These other effects are most likely symptoms because your drive is failing.
If your under AppleCare/ warranty, simply give them a call and state the smart errors etc, they will most likely rush you out a new drive which you switch the old and send back.
At least you have the chance to Erase w/zero before it fails to remove personal data.

    Hello.
    Certain types of software can affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the Internet. This article may help you resolve the issue:

  • Trying to erase hard drive, but get "input/output error". What does this mean? What can I do to erase my hard drive so I can reinstall?

    Hi all,
    My computer a few days ago wouldn't start up, would just stay at the gray loading screen forever. So as a result I tried to reformat the hard drive and reinstall, but I can't reinstall, until I erase the hard drive, but when I try to erase the hard drive it says the erase failed due to an input/output error. What does this mean? What can I do to fix my computer?

    The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

  • Error (13010), what does this mean?

    error (13010), what does this mean?

    I just got a new Mac and wanted to transfer my old iTunes library to it.  After a night of attempting to import the old library to the new Mac it said that the library was damaged and subsequent restarts yielded the 13010 error.  I deleted everything listed, did a number of iTunes reintalls and the only thing that has allowed iTunes to continue is to dig up a backup library (which is in progress now).  Barring this working, how can I get it so that iTunes boots again as if it is factory fresh?

  • HT1751 On an old Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

  • DSPPublishing error -29. what does this mean... I'm trying to burn to DVD

    DSPPublishing error -29. what does this mean... I'm trying to burn to DVD

    It means – more or less – that the job action (burning the disk) failed.
    Sometimes this happens because the app doesn't like something about a background image that is to be used in the menu. If you have such an image, reduce its dimensions. If you don't have one, in Settings in the dialog, cick Add and then Cancel.Some people have found that that alone is enough to kickstart the job action.

  • TS3694 I have error #6, what does this mean?

    I got error #6 on my iphone 4, what does this mean?

    This describes error 6:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, and 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.
