Error messages in Disk Utillity

Hello!
We are getting the same error messages on three different machines.
Im not able to find out what it means:
Warning: SUID-file «System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool»has been changed and will not be repaired.
We are getting the same message on:
«usr/libexec/load_hdi»
«System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ DiskManagementTool»
«System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resou rces/Locum» «System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner »
«System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Versions/A/Resources/readconfi g»
«System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Versions/A/Resources/writeconf ig»
«usr/libexec/authopen»
«System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool»
«System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAge nt»
Does anyone know what this means, what it could be caused by and how to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I think most of us are getting those messages at the moment, they are nothing to worry about, hopefully Apple will sort it with the next update.

After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely

After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely." What do I do now? This is an iMac and I'm running 10.6.8.

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.

Can't install OS 10.4 on 10.2.8 G4, error message in disk utility

I bought 10.4 to upgrade from 10.2.8 on my G4. Apple said I had all the system requirements. Have 28.0 GB capacity, 13.5 GB available. Format is Mac OS Extended. Have 640 MB and 450 MHz. When it said error try again, I tried several times and then ran disk repair. Message as follows: "Underlying task reported failure on exit. Invalid extent entry. Volume check failed. 1 HFS volume checked. 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error." I need to upgrade because I bought a new printer and it won't work with 10.2.8. Please help!!!

Hi
You need to run Disk Utility from your computer's install disk. If that won't fix it then you will need either Alsoft's DiskWarrior or Micromat's TechTool Pro, one of them should fix it.

Error message using Disk Utility

Okay, my System Preferences is not showing up, so I ran the Disk Utility and this is the error message I got:
Volume Macintosh HD was corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired...then use Disk Utility to repair the disk.
What do I do? Do I reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard or is this a whole other issue? Do I take it in to get checked out? Can I fix this without taking it in? HELP!

What you need to do is repair the disk using your install disk (after you make sure that you've backed up your important data or have a current Time Machine backup):
insert install disk and hold down C key while restarting
once booted from the install disk, go past the languages, and then up to Menu bar - Utilities. Open Disk Utility and run repair disk. If it says "repaired", you're done. If not, run it again until you get the repaired dialog. You can then restart from your internal disk, eject the install CD and you're all set.
If Disk Utility can't repair it, you'd need a more powerful application or it could be other things - we'll wait with that until after you've run the repair function.

HT2711 I used the "repair disk utility" to see why my computer is running slow but it gives me an error message saying, "disk utility can't repair this disk, and restore your backed up files. My computer was running slow and taking some time to load page

I haven't used my computer in a month, so when I turned it on, I saw it was running slow. The circle that is used to load the page kept coming up and it took sometime for things to load up. I tried to go Into safe mode, and it worked, but I know your limited on what you can do in that world. I also tried to repair the disk but it kept giving me an error message. How can I resolve this problem?

Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

ARDAgent error message in Disk Utility

I just got a new 27" iMac 2 months ago and when I recently ran Disk Utility to repair permissions I got this message.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
What do I do about that? How do I repair it? Is it even something that needs repairing? Does 'modified' mean there is something wrong with it?

It's a normal, albeit annoying, status message and can be safely ignored.
Regards.

I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched.

I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched lately, but I can't figure out how to solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
Thanks

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

Hi,
I tried your vi: I don't get any error message after removing the disk but LV7 keeps on accessing the drive at regular intervals even if you stop the vi and close it!!! This is not supposed to happen.
The only way to stop it is exit LV7.
If you don't use the file dialog and you wire a full path, you don't get any problem.
I also created a very simple vi that conditionally writes a text file on a: and I got the same behaviour.
This problem occurs only with LV7, I tried the same examples in LV6.1 and everything was fine.
If anybody wants to try I attach this simple example,
Alberto

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.

I have the same issue with 1.7TB free. This seems to have been an ongoing problem in earlier versions.
Is there a solution?

Restart it.. Does this all the time with Lion and even worse ML.
Restart the whole network if that doesn't work.. do it in correct order.. from off.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.

Popping error message "The disk was not ejected properly"

Although I am rejecting my external hard disks, still when I unplug them the error message "The disk was not ejected properly" pops up.
Worth to note that disks are not in sleep.
My McPro is running OS X Lion.

I've been following this issue for a long time on one of the other Apple forum discussions. A suggestion was made to install an app called Jettison (by St. Clair Software). Since doing this two days ago, I have not seen the infamous "improper ejection" error message. Jettison seems to do, automatically without any effort on my part, exactly what the developer says: "Jettison eliminates the hassle of manually ejecting external drives before you put your MacBook to sleep and remounting them when it wakes."
By automatically unmounting my two external USB drives when the computer goes to sleep, Jettison is eliminating the opportunity for Apple's faulty USB power management system to improperly eject my external drives. As soon as my computer wakes up, Jettison quickly remounts the external drives. And, most importantly, Jettison has NOT caused any conflict with my Time Machine backups or my SuperDuper clone backups (three of which are scheduled to run automatically at 1:00am every night.
