Fixing a disk with stuck freespace

Let me just get through my system infomation before I get to the question:
  Model Name:          MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:          MacBookPro11,1
  Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
  Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
  Number of Processors:          1
  Total Number of Cores:          2
  L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
  L3 Cache:          3 MB
  Memory:          8 GB
  Boot ROM Version:          MBP111.0138.B03
  256GB Flash SSD
Alright so basically I was trying to install Ubuntu on that partition (encrypted volume) and something went wrong witht the instalation and this is where I am now http://puu.sh/6yjEq/3d9496d037.png
So basically I cant touch this "free space", it wont let me drag the Mac OSX partition down to resize it into the "free space" and it does pretty much the same thing in the apple recovery boot menu (Command + R). Any ideas?

Hello Melophage,
I have all my data backed up to a timecapsule in the form of a timemachine backup.
Here is the result of the commarnds you gave me

    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.

  • How do I eject a stuck Leopard installer disk with only a wireless keyboard

    Today I bought a brand new mini at the Apple Store, with Tiger installed and the Leopard disk "in the box". On install, I decided to erase the disk and start fresh. I aborted after it started because I wanted to go back and partition. Sadly, it had already wiped Tiger, and now it refuses to install Leopard because it's a bare-metal install, and not an upgrade.
    Fine. Understood.
    Problem is, my Leopard disk is stuck inside and I can't get it out. I've only got a wireless keyboard, and it isn't recognized during the boot, so I can't press the eject key (C?, Eject? Doesn't matter, it only sees the mouse). HELP! I'm in a Catch-22 situation.
    Sure I could go wake the neighbors in the middle of the night, but isn't there some way? What happened to the paperclip trick? No more?

    I did not realize that Apple had two kinds of Leopards - upgrade and full.
    I would go back to the store where you bought it and demand they fix it immediately.
    They also should have supplied you with a Tiger disk.

  • How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

    Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me.  I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air.  Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software.  All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails.  For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files. 
    A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x.  Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
    I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
    Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine.  If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it.  If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up.  In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents.  Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way.  Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way.  If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents.  If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic.  When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly.  Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern.  Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view.  Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view.  It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder.  After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
    What I have done so far:  exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue.  I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix.  I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue.  BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either).  I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins.  It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files.  This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook.  The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1)  The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
    When you read this please be mindful of:  I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things.  I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views. 
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

  • Accessing shared time capsule disk with two accounts

    Hey guys,
    I have an airport time capsule (5th gen) and want to access a connected USB disk with my Mavericks macbook. This basically works fine: i can mount it using the finder (usually I do an automatic mount when starting my account, since I put the drive into the Login Items for my user), and the disk is secured with a disk password.
    However, I have a quite annoying issue when using two accounts on the same macbook, which is my standard use case as I share the macbook with my wife: Only the user that first accesses the disk can use it, the second user gets a "no access permission" error for the disk. The second user can then disconnect the drive and reconnect, but I find this very annoying, because I have to do it all the time, and I'm wondering if I'm the only user with this problem.
    Is there any way to specify access rights for the drive, such that I can access it with both accounts simultaneously? BTW, I've already tried to define specific access rights on the disk (Context Menu > Get Info > Sharing and Permissions), and I tried to change the disk security mode to "With accounts" and "With device password" - none of it made any difference.

    Only the user that first accesses the disk can use it, the second user gets a "no access permission" error for the disk. The second user can then disconnect the drive and reconnect, but I find this very annoying, because I have to do it all the time, and I'm wondering if I'm the only user with this problem.
    That is how Apple built it. No fixes.. no repairs.. it is a hassle of protected type file systems. Windows you can do all sorts of fudgery.. but the lack of protection (amongst others) is why you use a Mac.
    Is there any way to specify access rights for the drive,
    This is not a rights issues.. it is that one user at a time is allowed. Each user must logout before the next user can gain access..
    I do not know of any workaround.
    Pondini recommends using disk image for data on the TC.. since you can otherwise mess up the TM backup. See http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ3.html
    His comments don't apply to your usage of the USB drive.. but his workaround may help.
    I am wondering if you create the sparsebundle on the USB drive and allow everyone access, once mounted on the computer it might allow two user accounts access at the same time.. Sorry I have no need to try it and I cannot recall anyone attempting.. but it might present a way around the issue.. !!

  • Using a 160GB Disk with Solaris 8

    Hello all:
    I am using an Ultra5 system with OBP 3.25.3, Solaris 8 [10/01]. I have a 160GB Seagate ST3160812A disk drive that I am trying to use as a second drive (primary slave).
    I have installed the drive on the primary channel as a slave and performed boot -r. The /dev and /devices directories correctly setup device links (c0t1d0) for the drive.
    Assuming all was good I tried to create a new file system on slice 0 with "newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0". This responded with
    /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0: I/O error
    I then used the "format" command to see what was going on. I can see the drive in the 'format' command:
    #format
    AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS
    0. c0t0d0 <ST320420A cyl 39533 alt 2 hd 16 sec 63>...
    1. c0t1d0 <ST3160812A cyl 255 alt 2 hd 16 sec 255>...
    Specify disk (enter...) : 1
    selecting c0t1d0
    (disk formatted, no defect list found)
    format> quit
    As can be seen the 160GB drive has parameters that are all wrong for this size disk. The #format->verify command output for slice 2 (backup) shows the following:
    ascii name = <ST3160812A cyl 255 alt 2 hd 16 sec 255>
    pcyl = 257
    ncyl = 255
    acyl = 2
    nhead = 16
    nsect = 255
    Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
    0 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    1 :: :: ::
    2 backup wu 0 - 254 508.01MB (255/0/0) 1040400
    3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    I recalled that at boot-up the system showed a 'wrong magic number' message on the new drive. I tried to re-label the drive (format->label). The 'magic number' message went away on the next reboot but the 'format->verify' still showed the same thing.
    I have tried several approaches to fix this:
    1. I have read several posts and on-line texts that indicate the 137GB limit associated with LBA addressing for the Ultra5 IDE controllers. I have also read the post "How can I use my 160G Disk?"
    (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=829&threadID=5065871)
    which provided great information and described using the "format" command to configure the disk with 65535 cylinders.
    When I use the "format->type" command I get the following:
    #format
    format> type
    AVAILABLE DRIVE TYPES:
    0. ST320420A
    1. ST3160812A
    2. other
    According to the "How can I use..." post, I select [2] other and set parameters. When I get to the first parameter to set the cylinders to 65535 I get the following:
    Enter number of data cylinders: 65535
    '65535' is out of range
    a. Using the #format->type {other} function to change the # of cylinders is not accepted by the OS. In fact any value over 32000 cylinders is rejected by the command.
    b. Just in case I also tried using the [1] disk type. I get the message:
    "disk formatted, no defect list found"
    So the suggestion in this post did not work in my case.
    2. Next I tried referring to the post "Sun Ultra 5 Hard Drive"
    (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=860&threadID=5068466)
    which suggested using the dd command to 'nuke' the disk label and re-label with format. So using the command:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs1b count =16
    the command is processed properly but when I perform "format->verify"
    the label is unchanged even after I re-execute the "format->label" command. Rebooting the system did not change it either.
    3. I also attempted to use the 'format->part->modify' command to change the partition. When the command gets to the 'Free Hog Partition[6]" prompt I get a 'warning: no space available from Free Hog partition" message.
    4. I also tried using the 'format->part' command to directly modify the specific '2' partition from the partition menu.
    format>part
    partition> 2
    Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
    2 backup wu 0 - 254 508.01MB (255/0/0) 1040400
    Enter partition id tag[backup]; <return>
    Enter partition permission flags [wu]: <return>
    Enter new starting cylinder cyl[0]: <return>
    Enter partition size [1040400b, 255c, 508.01mb, 0.50gb]: 100g
    '100.00gb is out of range'
    ^D
    For some reason even this command limits the partition size.
    5. My last ditch attempt was to use fdisk -S <geom_file> to set the label geometry with the following parameters in the file:
    pcyl: 65535
    ncyl: 65535
    acyl: 2
    bcyl: 0
    nheads: 16
    nsectors: 255
    secsize: 512
    When I run this command the command core dumps.
    I'm somewhat lost as to what is preventing me from even using the suggestions others have found useful.
    Has anyone successfully used a 160GB Seagate (ST3160812A or other 160GB model) drive with the following?
    (as defined by #showrev and #prtconf)
    system: Ultra5
    OS: Solaris 8 [10.01 assumed based on kernel date]
    Kernel: SunOS 5.8 Generic 108528-13 December 2001
    OBP 3.25.3 2000/06/29 14:12
    kernel architecture: sun4u
    My hardware guy has tried numerous times to get a 120GB drive (which some posts indicated should work without any problems) but they are very hard to find. If I can get the 160GB drive to work (even with 137GB) I'll be happy.
    Thanks for any information.
    elbowz

    Your version of the OBP as well as the Solaris kernel are not the most up-to-date. If the system is stable without the new disk I would upgrade the OBP to the last version (3.31). It may also be worthwhile to patch the kernel with the recommended cluster patches (if you have enough disk space).

  • Quadra 650 Flashing disk with question mark?

    When i boot the Quadra 650 about 90% of the time it boots straight into a flashing image of a floppy disk with a question mark on it. Have tried putting the last used disk into the drive in case it didnt eject properly but that does not work.
    The rest of the time it goes straight through to the OS no probz, is the hard disk about to fail?
    Any ideas how i can fix this ancient beige box? Its running a middling version of System 7.
    Thanx

    I suspect the hard drive is failing. If it's the original HD it's about 15 years old. Most HDs fail before that age. Have you heard any clicking or other strange noises?

  • HT1366 How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

    How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

    RichardEL is probably correct.  I’ll go through your questions.
    > there is no Mac OS partition, I assume it would be directly underneath the HD on the left?
    I have not seen this particular condition where the hardware disk icon appears but the system volume that is supposed to be below it does not.  The System Disk partition would be below the HD icon indented to the right.  It is usually called “Macintosh HD” unless you renamed it.
    > when I go into disk utility my HD appears on the left, but I can repair or verify it
    Odd.  It appears but you cannot manipulate it with Disk Utility.
    > The S.M.A.R.T status reads verified
    If it did not say Verified then it would indicate a problem.  Saying Verified does not rule out problems but I think it indicates it is still breathing.
    > Is the HD deceased?
    If you booted the Recovery Partition (Boot, Command-R), which it sounds like you did, then at least part of the disk is still breathing.  If it took a long time to boot then that may have been a Network Recovery boot which would indicate the disk is very sick or dead.
    >  [If I] restore from time machine [will] everything will be back as it was before?
    Yes.  That is the beauty of Time Machine.  All your data, applications, and system preferences will be as they were as of the last backup.
    > I was thinking of erasing the HD, would this be of any help or do I just need a new one?
    Given what you reported from the Disk Utility steps you took it is unclear to me if there will be a way to repair the current volume, if you can erase and install from scratch or if you need a new disk.  Before proceeding it may be useful to have an expert at an Apple store look at it for you.  They may be able to revive it without a clean install or new disk.
    As was the case above, it could be a good disk with a bad cable in which case a new disk is not going to help.  To test this you can purchase an inexpensive external enclosure, remove the internal disk, place it in the enclosure, plug it in and then use Boot-Option to attempt to boot from the now external disk.  Here are links to the screwdrivers and enclosure you would need.
    $5 Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/
    $22 USB 3.0 enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BU3W/
    If you attempt a clean install, use the Partition tab to repartition the disk, selecting one partition and with “Options…” electing a GUID partition.  Then use the Erase tab, select “Security Options…” and set it to write a single pass of zeros.  This will write to every sector to map out bad blocks.  (If you have an SSD do not write a pass of zeros.)
    If you do need to replace it I recommend an new inexpensive (~$100) and super-fast hybrid SSHD drive that has an 8 GB SSD cache that makes the data fly.  Google “Seagate 1 TB hybrid SSHD”.

    Remember what I said earlier? ""The tricky parts... Then install your wanted version of Mac OS 9""...
    Install is a key word here.
    Launch your latest Mac OS 9 CD and run the Installer targeting the mounted image. I prefer to do a minimum universal install from within the installer. Uncheck items of no use. If your CD is an older version of Mac OS 9, run the following version of an updater. Same can be done to update your utilities so long as there is a updater available for the utility.

    Copying an already installed System Folder, is a bit to be desired, as you have tons of manual trashing (fixing, weeding, etc.) to do.

    Bootable CDs normally contain a copy protected System Folder that is equivalent to fooling around with mother nature. It unfortunately leaves you with many CD cake boxes of coasters in the process.

  • DO NOT install Airport Extreme update 2008-4 if using usb disk with TM

    I have Airport Extreme and a WD 1TB disk with two partitions connected to the Extreme. Other partition just for stuff and the other for Time Machine backup.
    Today I installed Firmware update 7.3.2 and disaster struck. I noticed that Airport Extreme was reporting a disk problem. I disconnected the drive from Extreme and use the Disk utility to find out what is the matter. The partition used for backup needed repair, but couldn't be repaired. I had to format it.
    The worst thing (besides losing all my TM backups): After I got the disk formatted, I checked TM. It wasn't possible to do Time Machine backups any more for a USB disk connected to Airport Extreme.
    Anyone else have the same?
    I strongly recomend NOT to install the update if using Airport Extreme + USB disk for Time Machine.
    I'm really dissapointed if this is an issue connected to the update 7.3.2.

    Hello
    I'm having issues too wtih the drive connected to my airport extreme basestation but not the same kind.
    Sometimes (5 time a day) the airport extreme doesn't respond anymore and it doesn't appear in the airport utility. Then every body is disconnected from internet (even if the light stil green...).
    I have to reboot the basestation manualy.
    I also have two partitions (datas and TM). I'ts very anoying th only solution i found right now is to unplug my drive...
    Hope Apple will fix this ASAP ...

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
    iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT5137 I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.
