HELP!! Disk0s3: I/O error

On Tuesday night, after waking my computer from sleep, I tried using the internet. All of the sudden an unfamiliar sound was coming out from my computer, it sounded something metalic bouncin off the plastic? ( cant explain) and then it completly froze after I ignored it. I turned it off, next morning, I was using the computer everything seem fine, I put my computer to sleep, because i had to go somewhere. Then I woke it up, and it froze when I opened up the Safari. I turned it off, tried turning it back on. But after the spinner, I got a black screen that said Disk0s3: I/O error over and over again. I turned it off and hold down the option buttom performed a test, and got the following error code.
mac error code 2stf/8/3:5-ata
what does that mean and what do I do? I really need the data inside that computer! if anyone can please help me!

Hi josewiisantos:
It doesn't sound good. From you comments I take it you did backup the data.
From what you said it sounds like your disk is a candidate for sending off to a recovery service. That is going to cost some serious money.

    Hi Dietmar,
    Thanks for your reply.
    There's no jasperreports-fonts-3.7.4.jar file in the webapps/JasperReportsIntegration/WEB-INF/lib folder. The only font file available is jasperreports-fonts-4.5.0.jar. I've downloaded the 3.7.40 jar file and saved it in the same folder without deleting the 4.5.0.jar. I tried to run the Test application again and still give me the same error.

  • Hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk

    hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
    The destination drive is not connected

    Hello Mohammadshamlou.  I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc.  It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected.  Is this correct?  How long have you had the notebook?
    What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
    The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive.  So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order.  Follow these steps and please post the result. 
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
    Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

  • Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

    Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
    I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
    "Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
    Thank you

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex
    AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.
    If it helps you please like this so others can find it.

    I apreciate any help, i m a little bit new on .
    I apologize if there are any errors in English, is not my natural language.

    The number formats must already be present in the workbook, otherwise you'll get the error that you mention.
    The code for US$ is [$$-409]
    Here is the code:
    Public oldFormat As String
    Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim newValue As String
    Dim newFormat As String
    newValue = Me.ComboBox1.Value
    Select Case newValue
    Case "EUR"
    newFormat = "#,##0 €"
    Case "GBP"
    newFormat = "[$£-809]#,##0"
    Case "USD"
    newFormat = "#,##0 [$$-409]"
    End Select
    Application.FindFormat.Clear
    Application.FindFormat.NumberFormat = oldFormat
    Application.ReplaceFormat.Clear
    Application.ReplaceFormat.NumberFormat = newFormat
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    ws.Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, _
    SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
    Next ws
    End Sub
    Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButtonClick()
    Dim inicial As String
    inicial = Me.ComboBox1.Value
    Select Case inicial
    Case "EUR"
    oldFormat = "#,##0 €"
    Case "GBP"
    oldFormat = "[$£-809]#,##0"
    Case "USD"
    oldFormat = "#,##0 [$$-409]"
    End Select
    End Sub
