HELP required! Cannot boot leopard, cannot repair disk from install disk

While my Macbook was indexing the hard drive (leopard 10.5.4), it froze and I was forced to force shut down the laptop. After doing that, it would not boot up. It stayed at the gray screen with the Apple logo and rolling ball and the laptop eventually shut down after 10 minutes or so.
I have attempted to boot from my Leopard Install DVD and tried disk repair but I could not do so because the buttons were "grayed out" and I could not click them. The only button that can be clicked is "verify disk". I tried doing so and it resulted in many errors.
I also tried booting in single user command mode (CMD+S) and typed in fsck -fy but it could not repair my disk.
As a last resort, I have tried to reinstall a fresh copy of OS X but it says that I need to wipe out my whole hard drive before doing so. I have so data that I have put on my Macbook in the last week and would like to recover it before re-installing OS X. Is there any way to do so?
My most favorable outcome would be to fix the problem and avoid reinstalling OS X (if possible). Any suggestions?

Without a bootable backup/clone or a TimeMachine restorable file, you're out of luck unless you pop for DiskWarrior and try to fix your file directory (no guarantees, but it works for many).

Help! Cannot Repair Disk??

Hello all. I was booting into Single User Mode (fsck) and then later booting from the G5 Install DVD, using Disk Utility:
Disk Utility failed to repair the disk
This is what it says in the dialog box:
(after the line)
Checking catalog file
illegal name in red
The volume xx could not be repaired
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
Repair attempted on 1 volume
1 volume could not be repaired
Although there doesn't seem to be anything "wrong" with my G5 at the moment, everything seems to be running smoothly. I only found this out after Photoshop froze and I thought I wanted to restart and use fsck to repair the disk.
Should I start worrying? Do I need to erase and reformat the disk to reinstall??
Thanks and cheers

You need to buy and run DiskWarrior. No Mac user should be without it. It'll almost always repair corruption problems on a disk that Disk Utility can't. That said DU is great for most problems.
And as soon as it's done you need to start with a plan to backup your files.

Cannot repair disk errors for OSX boot volume using Disk Utility while booted from different disk

I have tried three times to repair my boot volume (OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) permissions using Disk Utility while booted up on a different volume (running Snow Leopard 10.6.4). After hours of Disk Utility reporting that it HAD fixed the problems, an immediate click of "Verify permissions" immediately results in the apparently same continuous stream of permission errors.

Then better luck next time around. Here are some ideas for then:
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation.

Please help! - Macbook Air that failed repair disk process, will not boot

Hello, and thanks for looking.
A bit of background:
My Macbook air recently started working stragely post upgrade to most recent snow leopard. Symptoms: spinning beach ball when cursor went up to menu, and could not click on apple symbol. Would still run 'normally' though.
Fixed permissions and did a disk check - was advised to repair disk - and this process failed 1/2 way through. The computer then would now not boot up in safe mode or otherwise. All I can do it boot up with superdrive into OS.
Due to small windows partition (I think) I cannot simply reinstall the OS, as it gives me the message "cannot change disk - save as many files as possible and erase and install".... where the final problem begins....
All I can then access is Utilities, with my options being erase and reinstall, or to try and make an image of my Mac HD - however - cannot eject the superdrive as it is running the OS to put the drive image on my external drive.
Seems my only option is to erase the drive at this stage?? Called Apple and this was a "new problem" to them, and repair centres didnt know what to do either.
The only glimmer of hope is that if I hold "option" down when starting I can still boot into windows, but cannot save the image there either. All I can do on that screen is establish a network/internet connection.
I gather that I cannot remove the Air HDD and put it in another mac as it does not have a standard interface, but then came across the "Netbooting" feature.
Would this somehow allow me to run through remote disk the OS on another Mac? and then have connected my external drive to save my HDD image to?
Or am I stuffed?
ANY advice would be hugely appreciated. Thanks so much.

I would suggest trying to save/repair that drive with DIskWarrior yet before having to stop here and pick up a paddle.

No matter what I do, I get this exact same outcome.
Please help....
Thanks!

That's normal according to Apple. They put a technical bulletin out on it even. It has been fixed in Snow Leopard though.

My MBP won't boot anymore after "repair disk" and "repair disk permission"

My 2011 MBP 15 with Lion stopped working after I attempted to use Disk Utility to "repair disk" and "repair disk permission".
It was having weird issues before I attempted the repairs, it was freezing every few seconds no matter what I am doing, the whole thing would freeze with only the mouse movable. then after a few seconds it goes back to normal again. This happened after I downloaded and installed some updates from Apple. I don't know if the updates would cause this or it's something else.
In Disk Utility, "Repair Disk Permission" took 5 hours. While "Repair Disk" resulted in "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".
Now when it boots, there's a loading bar under the Apple logo, it loads half way and shuts down itself.
I can still get into CMD+R Utilities though.
Any idea how I can extract the data out of the disk? I'm going to format and do a clean install.

A stopped loading bar is indicative of a failed firmware install that didn't complete, it's trying to install and is failing.
Do a PRAM reset
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Reboot into Safe Mode, (shift key down) then reboot normally and see if that fixes the issue.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
You may have to try to reinstall your firmware manually, you'll need another disk burning Mac
Find your exact firmware(s) here (or on Apple Downloads page)
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Apply instructions here
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
Lastly it could be your boot drive is failing or something wrong happened with the update and accounting for all the to the other issues.
A OS X "overwrite" may solve the issue, may not.
See 10.5, 106. 10.7 OS X "overwrite" here

5 mins+ to boot, can't repair disk

Hi
My 24" Core 2 Duo has started to experience problems when I power it up. I usually leave it on all the time, but recently when I restarted it, it took nearly 20 minutes to reach the login screen, and then at least 20 minutes to open the startup items.
I rebooted in Safe Mode successfully. I ran a Verify Disk on the startup disk using Disk Utility and it failed, recommending a Repair Disk. I booted from the install disk and ran Disk Utility. The start up disk is shown on the left but the volume "Macintosh HD" is not listed under it, so I am unable to run Repair Disk.
After reading http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417, I am not sure that I should attempt to run fsck. In any case I am not sure how to boot into the command line.
I have also run the Apple Hardware Test twice which gave the following error codes:
4SNS/1/40000001:VGOR-10.832
4SNS/1/40000001:VGOR-10.789
I have also reset PRAM and NVRAM.
Other than the 5-10min boot up time, the machine appears to be working normally. The disk's S.M.A.R.T. Status is Verified but I really want to run Repair Disk, so that I know whether to replace the hard drive.
Any ideas?

Dave, you may well be right in the long run, but I have managed to get it going again for now. Here's how:
I booted to command line in single user mode (command-S on startup) and ran fsck:
/sbin/fsck -fy
This gave an "invalid index key" error which fsck was unable to fix, despite running several times. A Google search of this error suggested that it is a pretty severe corruption of the directory catalog, and that total data loss was imminent. So I bought DiskWarrior and ran it on my MacBook connected by FireWire to the sick iMac in Target Disk mode. DW came up with lots of errors, and created a new "optimised catalog".
A reboot later, and voila!, the iMac boots up in under a minute. Now let's hope it lasts...

Can not boot in safe mode or from install disk

Having major issues. MBP getting stuck at a blue screen after the gray apple screen. Tried pressing and holding shift key while starting for safe mode and still goes to blue screen. Tried holding c key and starting with sl install disk in drive and still goes to blue screen. Issue started with continous cycle back to login screen from my main user account and due to my stupidity of turning on automatic login from a admin test account (thinking I could trick it), I am now in this vicious cycle.
And no I don't have a bootable clone. I just updated to SL and like an lazy idiot didn't go ahead and make my bootable clone.
FYI I do have a timecapsule with a week old or so backup.
Any suggestions?

having a time capsule with TM backups is certainly good. you can always restore your system from it in a pinch.
do you have a firmware password set perhaps? it would preclude booting in safe mode or from the dvd using "c". reboot and hold option at the chime. this should boot you into startup disk manager where you can choose to boot from the DVD.
if you do have a firmware password set it will ask you to enter the firmware password before letting you use the startup disk manager.

Network / external access when booted in single-user mode from install CD?

So I have this iBook with a semi-functional hard drive: can't boot from it (either normal or single-user), can't use it in Firewire Target Disk mode, can't fix it with Disk Utility, an overnight run with Disk Warrior seemed to be hung, etc, BUT if I boot in single-user mode from the install CD I can then mount it readonly and see at least many of the files on it.
So now I want to slurp the important ones of those files off of it over the network (or in any other clever way anyone can suggest). I'm not a huge Unix or Darwin expert, so an exact set of commands would be appreciated. *8) A friend suggested to me that I might be able to 'init' it at a 'runlevel' that included the networking stack, but I dunno what that means. *8) Does the CD in fact include a full networking stack? Or anything else that I might be able to use to slurp some data from the hard disk before it gives up entirely?
Tx very...

I think Ronda was hoping you had the Tiger Instal DVD, which has a copy of Terminal on it.
You said earlier that trying to boot into Target Disk Mode didn't work. Would it help you if you could? If so, I can show you how to do it from Single User Mode. I've done it, and it works, although admittedly I did boot into SU mode from my HD, not my Instal Disc (I have tried that, it also works, I just haven't done both together).
If you can make use of this, post back and tell me what you get from which nvram when you are booted in SU mode from your CD. It's possible that command won't be available on the CD—so we need to check first. If it says "which: no such command", try ls -l /usr/sbin/nvram instead.

Intel iMac won't boot from disc or in safe mode - cannot repair disk

I have an early Intel iMac 20" (2GHz core duo) that generally works fine. I recently ran Onyx and it reported a startup disk error, suggesting I insert the install disk, hold 'c', and use disk utility to repair the disk.
NOTE: I have performed this operation successfully in the past and know how to do it.
On this occasion, the iMac simply booted up to the normal desktop each time after multiple attempts at booting from both the original OSX 10.4.4 install disc and the OSX 10.5.1 install disc (current os is 10.5.8).
I then attempted to start holding 'shift' to start in safe mode but again, repeated attempts all landed me on my normal desktop.
I then attempted to hold 'option' to be given the choice of startup disc but again was ignored and went straight to my normal desktop after multiple attempts.
Note that my iMac appears to be running fine otherwise. I was just trying to perform some routine maintenance and have run across this problem.
Any ideas? This mac will be 5 years old soon and I would like to keep it running for a while longer.

Hello Devoidarex
You'll want to use the Leopard Install DVD to Repair your Startup Volume and may want to try a USB keyboard if your using a wireless.
Another option is to insert the DVD and go to: System Preferences > Startup Disk > select the Install DVD > then Restart.

IMac cannot repair disk in Disk Utility

My computer started slowing down when I initially installed Snow Leopard. Eventually it stopped starting up at all, leaving only the white screen of death. I tried without the perioherals and I reset the P-RAM and nothing changed.
The most success I had came when I booted using the Snow Leopard disk. I went to disk utility to repair the disk, but it says "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." I would be willing to but I can't even get that far along to back anything up. Please help! I keep trying different things. Will I lose everything, including my software if I restore??
Thanks!

8. Back up a drive
Looking for a free way to back up a drive? Well, you’ve already got one—Disk Utility’s Restore tab. It’s a somewhat crude tool, but it does work. Launch Disk Utility and choose the Restore tab. Next, select the volume you want to back up in the left column, and drag it to the Source text field. Select the volume that will hold the copy, and drag it to the Destination text field.
If you want to erase the contents of the destination volume before storing your backup files there, select the Erase Destination option. Otherwise, the newly stored data is simply added to the existing files. Click on Restore to make a copy, and the backup process is complete. If you need to use your backup files later, simply reverse the Source and Destination directions.

Help required: Cannot open pdf using Jasper Report in Weblogic workshop 9.2

This message was accepted by the [email protected] mailing list. Hi ,
I am new to jasper reports and I am using them in Java Page Flow in bea workshop 9.2
In one of my action methods
ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = getResponse().getOutputStream();
InputStream reportStream = getServlet().getServletConfig().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/classic.jasper");
JasperRunManager.runReportToPdfStream(reportStream, servletOutputStream, new HashMap() ,connection);
getResponse().setContentType("application/pdf");
servletOutputStream.flush();
servletOutputStream.close();
connection.close();
When I invoke this action method from another page on click of submit , the pdf file opens fine for the first time( first submit) , and then if I click on submit again, it fails to open the pdf with the error message ,
There was an error opening this document . This file cannot be found.
Please help me resolve the issue, its urgent.
Thanx in advance

Thanks for the reply David. The problem we're having is that when you are in Workshop, there is the option, under the "File" menu to "Refresh" (F5) You sometimes need to do this to refresh your workspace. I'm sorry, I'm not a developer, so I don't know the details behind what that actually does, other than it "refreshes the workspace" so we can pick up the changes made and checked into subversion.
Without performing this step, you don't always build from the latest and greatest code.
The problem we're facing is that it seems that you need to be in Workshop to perform this step. There is a scripted way to do the refresh, but it requires you to open Workshop and run the script. What we're trying to accomplish is a truly scripted solution. All the other steps in the build process can be performed without opening Workshop, but because we can't figure out a way to do this one piece, we cannot have an automated build process.
