  • Mac book pro spinning on startup but never gets to log in screen, repair disk says unable to repair, 2007 computer running Lion, how do I reinstall Lion to the Mac HD, which is the disk that needs repair, but cannot be repaired?

    2007 MacBook Pro, was shut down properly last PM.  Today on startup, spins and spins but cannot get to log in screen.  Held option key with restart and using disk utilities the mac HD showing needs repair, but cannot be repaired.  Says save as many files as possible and reinstall software.  Can't save files, can't get into them.  Willing to reinstall without saving, but can't because only disk option for the reinstall showing is the repair disk, and it is showing as locked.  What to do?

    Sounds like the drive is starting to fail. Have you ever change the drive in that system? If not then it is time to think about doing that, the sooner the better.

  • TM disk needs repair but won't unmount.

    Hi,
    I've been having problems with this TM disk since new but I can't work out what to do. The disk is a Seagate 1.5TB with my MacPro backed up to it and a sparse image on it as my MacBook backup.
    The disk only has one volume on it. It has done strange things in the past like return an error on the initial backup of the MacPro after about 900GB of data and when I wiped the drive and tried backing up again it returned an error at about the same stage. Subsequent incremental backups worked so I continued to use it but I have never been able to eject the drive. I have always got the "something is using it" dialog box. I could only safely power it off by restarting the MacPro and turning it off before it booted. I checked the disk in disk utility and it said it needed repair but could not be repaired. After hearing about trouble with these drives I returned it for a replacement. I got an error on the first backup again with the new drive but subsequent incremental backups were OK so I left it. I checked it in disk utility yesterday and it said it needed repair but would not unmount for the repair. I have reset the FW800 port in the past and that didn't seem to make any difference. Other drives in this enclosure (SOHO Tank, Oxford chip) work and unmount OK. I don't know whether this is a TM issue or I've got another flakey drive. I'm tempted to send the drive back to Seagate again as I don't feel secure with this as my backup.
    Also, occasionally when I go into TM via the TM icon in the dock, I only see backups up to the day before yesterday in the timeline at the side. If I cancel TM and relaunch I get the full set in the sidebar (yesterday and hourlies for today).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    If possible, you should partition the drive, so the MacPro's backups are in their own, exclusive space. If you ever want or have to delete them, it will be extremely difficult and take a very long time. See #4 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Other drives in this enclosure (SOHO Tank, Oxford chip) work and unmount OK.
    Try repairing it from the copy of Disk Utility on your Install disc. (Boot up from it, select your language, then on the next screen select Utilities from the menubar, then +Disk Utility.)+

  • HD needs repairing but optical drive NOT reading discs.

    My problem is this: I have a June 2010 21.5" iMac which is out of warranty.   Disk utility says my HD needs repairing.  No problem, I have the original install DVD.   Trouble is my DVD drive has suddenly stopped reading discs! I rand Apple tech support for help and I asked them if I could simply buy a usb external DVD drive and re-install that way? Since I will also have to reinstall from DVD; Logic and Pro-Tools.   He said no!   Consequently I'm booked in for repair next week at an Apple store.
    Is that a way of Apple making money and I CAN actually repair the HD via an external usb hard drive??  Did he convince me to take it to an Apple store so they gain cash from me that way?
    Do I take it in for repair?  The Apple Tech Support guy gave me no clue as to how much this is going to cost.
    Or don't take for repair and buy an external usb DVD drive?
    I struggle with computers at the best of times!
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I've used ancient Compaq "Multi-bay" external drives and a variety of other random-vendor external USB drives with Apple laptops and Apple servers, and they've worked.  In several cases, I was using the old Compaq drives because the integrated DVD drivers were dusty or had failed — DVD drives of all sorts can and do fail, Apple, third-party and otherwise — and the Compaq drives were handy.  That Compaq Multi-bay drive booted an Apple Xserve Intel box with a bad slot-loader, too. 
    If one drive fails, debugging suggests trying a different drive.
    If you don't want to be concerned about compatibility, order one of those (not cheap) Apple external DVD drives.  I now have a couple of those around, and they work.
    It's quite true that newer Apple laptops don't have DVD drives, though most of these systems offer a recovery partition on the disk, the ability to create external recovery partitions on the device of your choice, newer ones have Internet-based recovery if you're lacking a drive (booting from Apple's servers via the Internet), and the Mac boxes I've tried will boot from various random USB devices including the old other-vendor DVD drives, and from the Apple external DVD drives.  With another Mac with a compatible wiring connection (Thunderbolt and cable on newer Mac systems, and FireWire and cable with a pair of older Mac systems), Target Disk Mode (TDM) can be used.  The installations can also be copied to other hard disks, and it's also possible to network-boot most any Mac system, if you have a server around.  And there's also the remote disk installations that some Mac systems can offer.   Put another way, there are various and good alternatives to device-integrated DVD drives.
    DVD is an old and mechanical technology, and it's variously a flaky one.  Given a choice, I'd rather boot OS X off an external hard disk or solid state or flash device or via TDM, just because it's faster and more compact.  This because I'd rather not carry around the weight and volume of that DVD drive all the time, on the off chance I might sometime eventually need to recover.  But an external random DVD device does work, too.
    As was mentioned else-thread, there is no special chip required in the drives.  Given the command set and status-level differences from drive to drive I've seen and given the failure rates I've witnessed with DVD and CD drives from all vendors including Apple, I wouldn't expect every drive to work, but I've seen nothing that Apple does here that would prevents a random drive from working.  And I've used random drives...

  • Volume needs repaired, but can't

    I was trying to install a partition and when I couldn't get the partition to work, I went to disk utility, deleted the partition and tried to verify my Mac volume......it could not be verified and said was in need of repair, but I am not able to select repair disk.....what do I need to do?
    Much thanks!

    Hi.
    First thing you should do: Backup your files. When you mess around with the directory structutre, things can get nasty...
    In order to repair the volume OS X is booting from, you need to run Disk Utility from the Tiger Install DVD, rather than from your boot volume.
    Insert the Tiger install disk in the optical drive, restart and hold C at startup. The machine will boot from the Tiger DVD. Go to Installer/Disk Utility.
    Follow the steps in this kb article.
    If Disk Utility is unable to repair you disk, you may need a more powerful program, like DiskWarrior, TechTool, etc.
    Good Luck.

  • Dead pixels on my screen but warranty expired.

    I have a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I noticed a bright white spot on my computer months ago... probably just a few months after I bought my laptop. It wasn't a big deal at the time cause it was rather small and I simply didn't have the time to drive an hour and a half to the nearest Apple Store. Well now there's two and I feel as though they've gotten bigger. It's more of a cluster.
    My 1 year limited warranty expired and I don't have AppleCare.
    So what can I do? Will Apple fix it?
    If I have to pay, how much will it cost me?

    Ok so here is a quick a dirty break down.
    Computer has been acting Programs freezing and CPU slowing down.
    I ran Verify Disk in Disk Utilities and it said I need to repair Disk.
    After a day of head aches I am finally asking for help.
    So here is the problem on my old powerbook pro I could just load in Target Mode and repair with tech tool or disk warrior but alas my macbook has no firewire.
    So just incase of emergancy's I have a thumbdrive with a live 10.5.3 and all my disk utilities. I've used it on my wifes older Intel Macbook Pro 17" and it works fine.
    Today though when i restart hold down the option key "alt" and select the drive my macbook restarts acts like its going to load and the restarts again. This restart loop will go on as long as I let it.
    Ok so usb drives can be problematic. Surely starting to the OS X Retail DVD with 10.5.4 and running disk utilities will work. Nope still get the endless restart loop when I've loaded the install dvd and restart with command "c" as well I get the same response if I select it after holding the option key.
    Now my hard drive won't even start up either unless I boot in single user mode.
    I am lost.
    HELP Please.

    Have you tried booting into safeboot (safemode)? You may want to try resetting your PRAM and or SMC. Another thing you might try is to plug the thumbdrive in the other USB port.
    If you could get an external USB drive with osx on it you could try booting from it.
    Apple sure did screw up not putting firewire on that Macbook, my wife has one and I just can't get over it. Sure can make it hard to troubleshoot.

  • Disc needs repair but can't

    Had a couple crashes with imovie. I then decided i should fix permissions and try to see if the disc was working well. I fixed permissions. When verifying I find a couple problems. I booted from install disc to attempt a boot HD repair. I can't. Disc Utility (from install DVD) states HD disc can't be repaired. What? Here are the problems as reported from disc verify. Now what?

    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If you find the need to recover files prior to reformatting see the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    The above utilities have downloadable demos that will indicate if any data are recoverable, but you must then purchase the software to recover the data.  There are a couple of free recovery utilities - Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them at MacUpdate and CNet Downloads .

  • Skype needs repairing but not available to repair

    Whilst in a video chat earlier this evening, I encountered a problem with Skype, the video call itself crashed but made a funny interference noise. I then clicked off the app and couldn't return to the app because I had a notice saying this app needed to
    be re-installed and repaired, I have tried doing this every way possible and have had no luck at all.
    I am wondering what to do as this is the only way me and my boyfriend properly talk in the week as we both have busy and distant jobs.

  • After downloading Yosemite Installation got stuck as the disk needs repair but is not available.

    Now I can't access my Time machine and it has not backed up since 3 months. I am stuck as i don't know how to get back to my old OS and basically ignore the Yosemite download until I figure out what is wrong with my SSD. I successfully replaced the HDD several months ago with a Crucial 240GB SSD and had no issues at all while working on it. However, now I seem to be completely stuck: can't get back to 10.9, can't back up to my Time Machine, can't even erase the disk and lose 3 months of data because of some disc mounting issue. What a mess I have created. Please help.

    Ok everyone,
    I may have a solution. I too installed Yosemite only to be stuck with nowhere to go because I couldn't repair my disk in the Disk Utility. I would verify over and over and sometimes I could click repair and sometimes it was grayed out. I would get red messages saying you can't unmout the disk, you can't repair it, etc. So, I read on another forum some chick used her CD of snow leopard and reinstalled that OS versus trying to install Mavericks again (which I tried too, but the disk was locked because it wasn't repaired). So I popped in the CD, restarted my computer and pulled up disk utility again. The first time I ran the repair function I actually got a kernel message (which is bad) and had to restart again. The second time, however, I ran the repair and it fixed it! I got a nice green message saying the disk had no issues appeared to be ok. So, I went to reinstall snow leopard and my Macintosh disk was no longer locked because it was repaired! I just installed it and I'm waiting for my computer to reboot so cross your fingers that this works.
    I feel like this is good news because it makes me think that I don't actually have a hard drive issue but rather Yosemite was corrupted. I take very good care of my iMac so it would be heartbreaking if I had to put money into it when I've never had issues with my apple products In the past. Hope this helps anyone in the struggle. I'm not smart enough to hook up external hard drives and run programs or type code into the terminal. So consider this the simple man's resolution (I'm a woman). Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll check back when I can.

  • Disk needs repairing but won't?

    Hi,
    Under instruction from OnyX, which recommended I repair my startup disk, I booted up from the CD (in which I also ran into some problems when my CD drive wouldn't open using the keyboard key; held down the mouse button on startup instead) and ran Disk Utility. First I verified it (or at least tried to), and here's the log:
    +Verfifying volume "Macintosh HD"+
    +Checking extents overflow file+ (coloured red)
    +Checking catalog file+ (coloured red)
    +Checking multi-linked files+ (coloured red)

    +Keys out of order+ (coloured red)

    +1 volume checked+
    +0 HFS volume verified+ (coloured green)
    +1 volume failed verification+ (coloured red)
    Anyone know what happened here?
    I then tried to repair it. Here's the log:

    +Mounting disk (S, "Checking HFS plus volume.", 0)+

    +The volume Macintosh HD was repaired successfully.+

    So not being sure whether it had been repaired or not, I verified it again. Exact same log as last time. Tried repairing it again. Exact same thing.
    What the heck is going on? And how can I fix it?

    Mr 9.2 Guy:
    I'm pretty certain I have about 5GB of free space.
    5GB is pretty meager, except on the smallest HDDs (40 GB or less). You need a minimum of 15% of contiguous (unfragmented) free space to avoid directory corruption. 20% is safer.
    Do I simply use the OSX installer and do a Erase and Install? Or, still using the install disc, open Disk Utility, erase and then install?
    I would recommend completely reformatting, erasing, then installing. That would get rid of the previous directory and give you a fresh install. I will post step by step directions at the end of this post.
    All my problems in the last couple of days have happened after I have installed 10.4. Could there be a corrolation? Would I be better off downgrading back to 10.3?
    No. Any directory corruption you have, as I noted in my earlier post, would be due either to a too full HDD or a failing HDD. In your case, with only 5 GB of free space in the drive, that seems the likely culprit. So, go directly to Tiger, if you have the Full Retail Version. If you have only an upgrade disk you will need to install 10.3 first, then upgrade to 10.4

  • Bought my iPhone 5 online, it needs repairs but apple says it has been replaced. will they still repair it?

    Long story short the iPhone heated up and since then has random grey lines down the middle. It "controls itself" or won't work whenever those lines appear. Apple asked for the serial number however it says it has been replaced. I bought it online so i'm not too sure what to do now. will apple still repair it?

    You can ask, but most likely answer is Apple will not repair it. That message
    means the iPhone has been replaced and should have been turned back into
    Apple, but it was resold instead. If you bought from eBay or other service that
    offers buyer protection, start a claim for a refund unless the iPhone was described
    as replaced.

  • My disk needs repairs, but I don't have startup disk...

    Will upgrading software fix it or should I do something else?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you hard drive has to be repaired and you upgrade OS X, things may go wrong, because the upgrade may fail and you will lose all the files. Call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When you get the DVDs, follow these steps:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and hold the C key while your computer is starting.
    2. Choose your language, and go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility.
    3. Select your OS X volume on the sidebar and repair the disk. If it was repaired successfully, go to  > Restart, and continue using your computer as usual. If it couldn't be repaired, you need a new hard drive.
    If you haven't made a backup yet, make it now. All hard drives fail, and yours may be closer

  • False Disk Needs Repair??  Help Please!

    Every maintenance app I have (MacPilot, Onyx..) keeps telling me my disk needs repair BUT when I put in my install cd and go into disk utility and do a verify disk it says my volume is okay... I am confused.
    I can not run a verify disk with disk utility however, when logged on. It goes unresponsive and I have to force quit.
    Also if I try to run a verify permissions while under disk utility running on the install cd, I get an error that there is no catalog??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated before I make The Call for help.

    I booted up to my install disk and ran disk utility verify disk and it passed.
    My problems however have multiplied since my first post beyond getting that "volume needs minor repair"... my Pioneer optical drive won't read my install disk (spits it out) or any dvd formats, it only reads music cds at this point.
    In fact it stopped cold reading in the middle of running disk utility from my install disk. I had to power down and power up just to get the disk out.
    Methinks I have a problem requiring a trip to the Apple store.. ugh.
    I always backup daily, with Time Machine and another backup program, just in case this happens.

  • Iphone 4s fault repaired within warranty but same fault has reoccurred just after warranty has expired. What can I do?

    My husband's phone developed an internal fault that meant the sound kept dropping out during phone conversations. He took the phone to the Apple store a couple of months ago and they fixed the problem under the warranty. The same fault has reoccurred, so he took the phone back to the store yesterday and they wouldn't fix it because the warranty has now expired, (sometime in October). If Apple do a repair three months ago that subsequently goes wrong, it is surely reasonable to expect them to fix it after such a short period of time, regardless of whether the warranty has expired? By their logic, they could replace a phone the day before the warranty expires but if it dies 48 hours later they would have no responsibility to do anything.

    Thanks Victoria,
    I figured we are not alone but is this a comfimrd, (by Apple), design fault? If the problem was a latent fault at time of purchase then Apple have to deal with the problem under EU law.
    At the moment, they are wriggling out of doing anything because the warrenty has expired. We are quite clued up on consumer law and realise that it is not 'fit for purpose' under the Sale of Goods Act and, on those grounds alone, we have a good position to argue from. However, if we are sure there is a latent problem, we probably have have a good arguement for a replacement rather than a repair, particularly as they already repaired the phone about three months ago and the problem has manifested itself again.
