I did disk utility, and verify disk and it asks to repair the disk using dvd installer...but when i insert the dvd- restart- hold c, it keep ejecting and can't read the dvd....i tried with my friends dvd too, but still fail...mac osx v10.6.7

someone pls help me

Well there is Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck witch includes step by step instructions to run disk repair without the install disk.
But before doing that, it's a good idea to backup. You may want to troubleshooting your superdrive / disk before hand. if I disk repair fails you may need the disk working to re-install the OS.
Dose the computer read any DVDs? if no, you may want to use Troubleshooting the slot load optical disc drive.

Hello,
Sorry if my english is not perfect, but I do my best!
I have a problem with almost all applications. When I quit an application, it appear the crashed window. I can submit to Apple support the report, but I don't because there is too much.
I start on a cd-rom and lauch Disk utility. It can't repair the disk because of two "prohibited name" lines in red. No more information!
What are the two "prohibited name"? File? Folder?
How to repair the disk?
Any idea?
Please, help me.
Thank.

Bienvenue To  Discussions GMDC!
Exactly which model Mac G5 is it?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
What peripherals do you have connected? A keyboard, mouse, printer, external drive or modem, router, etc?
What happened between the last time the Mac functioned successfully, and when it didn't?
Have you made any changes, like upgrading the system, updated or installed any applications or programs, etc?
Have there been any unusual occurences, like freezes, crashes, power outages, etc?
See if you are able to perform the procedures posted below, and post the results.
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

How to fix the Disk

Hello. I just took a "check" in the Diskutility section. It says that I need to do some minor repairs. Theres only one thing. The little button "Repair Disk" doesn't seem to be "activ". It's not possible to push it. What should I do? Does anyone have any idea how I'll make this work? PS: It doesn't seem like theres any problem with my mac.

Constantly need to repair disk using Recovery HD to get Lion 10.7.2 to boot

I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2.8ghz I7 with 8gb of ram, OS X Lion 10.7.2, model series MacbookPro6,1....
Every time i reboot the computer or turn it on i get past the gray screen with the apple, it begins to load my desktop but stops just before it finishes loading everything. I can see my background image, some of my desktop icons, anywhere from 1/4 - 1/2 of my icons at the top, then i get the pinwheel and it doesnt progress any further than that.
The only way that i can get the computer to boot after this is to hold down the power button, wait for it to turn off... wait 20 seconds, reboot into the Recovery HD and use the disk utility to repair disk and repair permissions on Macintosh HD. This usually works, but one time i actually had to download a new copy of lion. After i repair disk & permissions, i reboot the computer and it responds like nothing has happened. My problem is that i do not want to have to constantly repair the disk and permissions every time i reboot the computer.
I did have one problem before all of this began, but it was about a month before this started occuring. I sent a bunch of unneeded documents and duplicate files to the trash as well as a couple of programs that didnt work anymore using appcleaner. When i tried to empty the trash, it deleted all but one file, or should i say most of the file. It was Dragon Dictate... it deleted everything from the main app package except for a plugin file. The plugin apparantly took up 0 bytes on the disk, and nothing i could do would allow me to delete the file. Finder froze every time i tried to delete the file, or should i say hung at the emptying trash window. Finder was still working. I could still open windows and move files around, however, i couldnt get the trash to empty. I left the screen up all night into the next afternoon, and it still hadnt deleted the file. The only way i could get it to not hang was to remove the file from the trash, and delete what else i had to delete. The only way i was able to get trash to stop hanging was to force relaunch finder by going to Finder>>Force Quit...>> select finder>> relaunch. Sometimes finder would relaunch, and sometimes it wouldnt. The only guarantee that i had to relauch finder was to reboot the computer. Eventually i jsut moved the file to a folder named Can not delete..... Now a month later i have to repair the drive each tiem i want to reboot the computer.
I know the drive isnt failing because i dual boot to windows, and that works flawlessly. No problems with reading/writing, other permissions, hardware, software, bluetooth, network, monitor, sound, camera.... nothing wrong on the windows side.

Your problems started when you used AppDelete, it searches for files and can accidentally delete some files as well.
You should never use such a program, it's no subsitute for the developers uninstaller.
Because your issues reside in the Applications folder, a global use, your going to have to perform a backup, erase and resintall of Lion, all your programs and return of files from backup.
As you learned, a OS X overwrtie install isn't going to work.
Also when you use Disk Utility to Erase the Lion Parititon, use the Erase>Security Opiton> Zero aspect, it takes longer but maps off failing sectors which may be responsible for your issues and ones in the future.
Map off as many as these failing sectors as possible, with Zero Erase and Erase Free Space once in awhile. SSD owners need not apply.

Disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to reformat the disk?

disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to reformat the disk?

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.

Disk Utility stopped repairing the disk. I was instructed to backup as many of my files as possible.reformat the disk and store my backed files. I am using an I Mac 2010. I am not sure what caused this problem. I use time machine

Disk Utility stopped repairing the disk. I was instructed to backup as many of my files as possible.reformat the disk and restore my backed up files. Since I use time machine, can I assume that all my files and programs can be restored from my recent back ups?

Hi jeromefrodia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand that you are concerned about your data before reformatting the disk. Because you use Time Machine your information should be safe. Please refer to the attached article for information about what Time Machine backs up and how to restore from that backup.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
Cheers,

My Mac keeps starting up to the disk utilities screen. Im guessing i need to repair the disk or load my backed up memory but i am unsure of how to do that. I have all my memory backed up on an external hard drive.

The Disk Utility screen has instructions right on it.
Just read them and follow the directions.
Readers can help if you get stuck.
It opens with something like, "select a disk, volume, or image".
You click on your drive in the left column, top item.
The next screen spells out how to do a ( Repair Disk ).
You have a Macintosh. It will not cut your hand off.
If something dangerous is coming, it will say stuff like, "this will erase all the data on your drive. Do you want to proceed?"

I just restarted my mac then suddenly when it boots,disk utility came and says different option like repair disk, get help, reinstall OSX and I tried to click disk repair but it says that I am um able to repair the disk

It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
If that doesn't work you have a few options:
If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7 will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

Lion on ssd crashed! Disk utility 'cannot repair the disk' HELP!!!

Fortunately I got a time machine backup. And its restoring the drive while in Lion recovery mode. Here's what happened...
I dont have a router a my place at the moment and so my two phones (iphone 4 and htc android) connect to my internet using my MBP's wifi via internet sharig. For some reason they were not able to get an IP from the mbp. After doing some wifi swtich toggles and forgettig & rejoining the network, i decided to reboot all my devices. I shut down my modem, phones and restarted my mbp. On reboot, after the chime, it showed an unsusal 'progress bar' under the apple logo. The bar progressed to about 10% and then the mbp just powered off. This happened several times even after PRAM and SMC reset.
So now i booted with cmd+r pressed and in recovery mode ran a 'verify disk'. It said the verification stopped and that i should repair the disk. When i tried to do that it said the disk cannot be repaird and that i should back up as many files as possible and attempt to format the disk and restore it with time machine. It is precisely what im doing at the moment.
This ssd is a ocz octane sata 2 ssd about a month old. What could have gone wrong???
Neerav
Ps. Two things i was facing as possible symptoms of a logic board failure were...
1. Mbp wont sleep even when internet sharing is off
2. Mbp wont lit the onboard display upon opening it in clamshell mode untill i removed the 3.5mm audio cable of my speakers from the audio out port!
Please advice...

I have resolved a major disk failure in formating my ssd and then reinstalling the OS and then using time machine to get my config back. in 1 hour the problem was solved.
If formating the ssd is not enough, delete the partition and recreate everything.
The CD given with the mac have the correct tools to do it.
At worst you can scratch the partition with a windows computer and then recreate everything with the mac after. (i was obliged to use this method to recover an other hd failure on a non ssd disk.
If your computer have some trouble to start up, maintain the left button of the mouse activated during the boot. (it can happen if a cd is blocked on the computer during a bootcamp installation.)

Disk Utility won't repair the disk. Now the computer won't startup.

Had been having a few problems with my G5 iMac so I restarted with the Leopard disk and attempted a repair with disk utility. The repair came to a halt with a message indicating that the repair couldn't continue. After that, the repair buttons were no longer highlighted, only the verify buttons were highlighted. I attempted to restart the computer from the internal drive, but now it only gets to the point of the Apple logo appearing and then it shuts down. I even attempted to reinstall Leopard, but the only option that is highlighted would erase all data from the drive. I ran a hardware test and it showed no problems. I have tried Disk Warrior and Drive Genius 2. The computer will boot from the disks, but repairs cannot be made. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know if this will change the ultimate prognosis, but when I use Disk Utility in an attempt to repair the disk, I get the following message:
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.

My husband(less technologically inclined than I am), decided to delete programs from our iMac, now it has a grey screen and won't get past it. If I insert the Application Install DVD, to repair the disk, will I loose all my pictures and music?

With a corrupt disk, the install procedure is most likely going to fail.
How old it the disk?
You might be able to reformat it to fix the problem. Of course that means you lose all of your data.
The other alternative is to get a new disk drive and put that in your Mac and install OS X
Then put the old disk drive in an enclosure and see what can be recovered from it.

How to Repair The Secoundary Indexes

HI
Can any body tell me How to Repair the Missing Secoundary Indexes

Hi,
as Nagesh pointed, the program will do so.
If you want to control a bit further, use function module 'RSDU_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR':
i_infocube = <techname>
i_with_aggregates = 'X' if you want aggregate IDX rebuilt as well
i_double_facttab = 'X' if you want E and F fact table processed (otherwise just F)
i_degenerated = 'X'
hope this helps...
