Huge increase in disc activity and need for permissions repair

I didn't know whether to post this here or in the OsX section. I'm posting here because it started after I put in an Airport Extreme.
My hard disc seems to be working almost non-stop now, churning away in the backgound like never before. Also, I've done a "repair permissions" every day since I put it in, and the list is now massive, every time! Before I'd have about 10-20 lines, and it was done. Try again the next day and much less. Now, every day it goes on for ages, mostly repairing stuff to do with core services and Java (and quite a few Airport thingies too!).
Is it just my imagination or is the Airport doing something odd with my system?

Sorry but the "wide channels" option is ONLY available if you are using 5 GHz, 802.11n only network setting in your Time Capsule/AEBS. As soon as you throttle it back to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with older standards b/g then you loose that speed. There is another option. You can set up a "dual-band" network by adding another b/g device (like an AirPort Express) running at 2.4 GHz at the same time as the Time Capsule running at 5 Ghz. This is explained (not very well) in Apples "Designing Airport Networks 10.5". Then you get full 270 Mbit/sec 802.11n for your n compatible computers and your older macs would connect to the b/g network. You would give the networks different SSID names.
Thanks Jeffrey, probably will leave it as is, I only have one n compatible machine out of 3 so probably not worth the extra setup. Even so by making my TC my base station I did my final first backup (the G4 ibook) and wow with making TC my basestation and using the new 7.3.1 firmware this backup (which I am doing as wireless since this machine is elsewhere in house) is booking unlike my first attempt with old setup and 7.3.0 firmware. It is going to finnish in 5-6 hours as opposed to several days when TC was added to my existing computer to computer network and using old firmware. So it is worth making it the basestation so I could use the 7.3.1 firmware (which could not to the old WEP my computer to computer network could only do).

Huge increase in monthly payments AND billed for w...

I moved back to BT for calls a couple of years ago and set up a monthly payment plan to help with the cost as I'm on a low income. In March I also signed up for BT Broadband. My payments up until then had been £45 a month, BT anytime plan ( I use about £12 a month on non-inclusive calls to mobiles) I thought this was high just for calls but was told this was as low as they would allow. On checking my online account recently I discovered that the monthly payment has now increased to £81!? I knew that adding the Broadband would increase the payment but almost double it??
This was apparently due to the way BT now bill. Fair enough but surely it's unfair to pass on such a huge increase in payments for something BT have chosen to do - and with little notice.
Anyway, long story short - I decided to allow a couple of these £81 payments to come out of my account so as to clear what was a £36 CREDIT and is now a £124 Debit, due to the changes, and then call and ask if the payments could be reduced.
Imagine my anger when checking my bank account the other day to discover that BT had tried to debit £82 from my account for the WHOLE BILL AMOUNT! Unfortunately I did not have the money in the account and the direct debit was returned - leaving me with a £30 bank charge for a returned debit that should not have been taken in the first place. I phoned CS an was told 'sorry, our mistake'.
Where do I stand with regard to having this charge reimbursed to me? I cannot afford to lose £30 due to BT's incompetence.
Could a mod please look into this for me and let me know how I can reclaim the bank charge? And is there any chance my monthly payments could be reduced?
Thank you.

Hi onlythebun

Could you email me at [email protected] with your BT account and telephone number please along with a link back to this thread.

I have gotten the message The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. I don't have the discs. Help!

I received a hand-me-down MacBook Pro (mine was stolen). I tried to install a full backup from my Time Machine using Migration Assistant, it froze during the install so I force quit the Migration Assistant. Since then I have had to re-establish my administrator ID and password. I can now only boot up in safe mode, I get the message that my HD is full (only 8.67GB available out of 199GB), and to make matters worse I now get the message "The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired". I don't have the install discs, and I'm not very tech savvy. Can anyone help me?

You can buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.

HD corrupt and needs to be repaired but I don't have startup disk?

I have an early MBA and recently it has taken up to 3 minutes plus to boot up so I checked in Dick Utility and got the following message when I went to verify disc:
Invalid directory item count
It should be 32 instead of 31
The Volume Macintosh HD was found courrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: The disck needs to be repaired...use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
Okay so it appears I need to boot up this MBA with the boot up disc but for the life of me I can't find it. I have other start up discs form my MacBook pro and the flash drive for my new MBA. Any suggestions what I can do? Can I use the disc from my Mac Book pro?
Thanks for any suggestions of where to go from here.

A Snow Leopard disk should work, though you should run Disk Utility from the Installer menu and do a disk repair on the hard drive. If it repairs successfully, you might not have to reinstall SL. If it can't successfully repair, then you'll probably need to erase the drive and then reinstall.
Regards.

"Fire-vault protected home folder did not open and needs to be repaired."

I recently updated my macbook to leopard and after my laptop downloaded system updates, it had to restart but when I came to the login section and tried to login, I get this message:
"Fire-vault protected home folder did not open and needs to be repaired. Click OK to repair the folder and continue logging in. Click Cancel login to log in as a different user."
I don't have a different user so I clicked OK, but then I get this message:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "Kyle" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occured."
So now I can't login and I'm a college student and need important files on my computer. Someone please help! I have class tomorrow!

Sorry, I re-read your question and realize from the title you had file vault on upgraded and now it won't let you into the home folder. This is a known issue and I hope Apple produce a fix. I encountered this problem but fortunately I took a bootable image backup to a firewire drive. I booted off that as root and then opened the sparese image which is the home folder. This gave warnings but let me copy important documents to safety and also export address book and safari book marks.
If you do not have a backup I am very sorry to say you may have lost those files. It is worth backing up important college work, even if it is just to CD. I hope Apple come up with a fix for this because many of us hit this problem. Part of the reason for owning a Mac is you do not expect to have these issues. It made me feel like I had just installed XP!

The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired

Hello there,
There's a problem with my MacBook.
Yesterday I've made a back-up, because I would like to reinstall everything.
But it doesn't work.
The laptop doesn't start up from the installation disc holding the C. Nothing happens.
When I open the CD via the finder and start the installation, it fails at some point. It gives an error that maybe the CD is dirty or something. That's not true.
I thought there was something wrong with the CD, but it's more then that.
I did the disk repair, and it said as followed: The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
The problem is that I can't repair the volume, just because of the CD problem. It's really annoying, the only solution is to reinstall, but it doesn't work at all.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot!
Bye

Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Install Disk shows up then click on the Install disk and then the arrow below it. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

AHT will not scan for or find bad disk drive sector blocks, it might tell you your SATA chip.... no it won't do that either.... <g>
In a perfect universe Disk Utility First Aid, run from another hard drive ideally, or lacking that run from DVD. The shift key is suppose to check the drive journal and directory for out of sync errors and delete and rebuild extension and other system caches.
But you might want to backup first, and you could install OS X on another drive for one thing, or try using Disk Utility : Restore tab to make a full system copy of everything to another hard drive.
Why not jus point to "Disk Utility startup"

Same results for 'Permissions repair complete'

Very strange. I went to "First Aid' and clicked on "Repair Disc Permissions."
After a half hour or so, the report showed stuff like "Repaired "System/Library/Core Services/ . . . and ended with "Permissions repair complete."
I repeated the process and got the same results. In other words, the repair was not complete.

Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore
There is never a reason to repair permissions, except in the very rare case of a permission error, which you'll probably never see, or a boot failure. The built-in help for Disk Utility says:
Repairing disk permissions
If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.
It’s not completely irrational to repair permissions after running a third-party installer, since such installers have been known to set incorrect permissions. Otherwise, repairing permissions is a complete waste of time.

Need a number for apple support. I increased my icloud storage and need a refund on previous purchase done a few days ago.

Hello a couple of weeks ago i renewed my icloud 15gb but yesterday i increased it to 28gb and I need to apply for a refund of the difference. My account is based in the UK. Please advise how i can go about doing this. Thanks

If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -

it gives the USA phone number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.

Is an Adobe Creative Cloud active subscription needed for the Adobe Photoshop streaming trial?

Hello Adobe community,
I am here on behalf of the Manhattan College ITS department.
My supervisor has asked me to look into the free trial for Adobe Photoshop Streaming (APS) and we would like to try it out because it is free.
However on the website for the APS trial, it says you need an active subscription for Adobe Creative Cloud (ACC) in order to participate.
On the APS trial page, it states that an ACC account is needed for an individual signing up for the trial but it is not made clear for the institution.
I'm assuming that it is required, but I would like to hear back from an Adobe rep.
Thank you,

Data Slice dynamic activation and deactivation for a set of users

Hi Experts,
                 We have requirement to manually enter the data into RTC using IP.
There are 2 sets of users --> Power Users and Normal Users.
We need to allow the normal users to enter the data only from 1st to 5 th working day of every month.
Power Users should have authorization to edit and enter the data at any time.
Can any one suggest how to set the dataslice using code.
Regards,
Shashi

Hi.
Please note that update of RSPLS_DS table do not affects at RUNTIME.
If you want to create dataslice that activated and deactivated within sequence run you should do the next:
1. Create exit variable that return you all working days EXCEPT 1 to 5 of each month.
2. Create dataslice in modeler on this characteristic with restriction by this exit variable.
3. This dataslice should be based on ABAP class as described [here|https://www.box.net/shared/zhirrvk859].
4. In mydataslice method enter following code (I assume you have any DSO with definition whether user is power user or not. Lets say DSO has next structure:
USER   | Z_IS_POWER   |
aaaa    | NO
bbbb    | YES
Enter the next code in mydataslice method:
SELECT Z_IS_POWER FROM YOURDSO INTO lv_POWER WHERE USER=sy-uname.
IF sy-subrc = 0. *This is SUPER USER. Allow locked data edition
e_noinput = rs_c_false.
ELSE. *This is regular user. Do not allo locked data edition
e_noinput = rs_c_true.
5. Create in modeler 2 planning sequences for activating and deactivation dataslice as described in document.
6. Each time you want to do something with locked data run first sequence for deactivation of dataslice. If super user will run it so dataslice will be deactivated, but if regular user - dataslice will lock the data.
Regards.

Missing icons for Tetris and Need for Speed

Hello,
I've had a good look around the forums but cannot find an answer to my problem.
According to "My World", I have installed both "Need for Speed" and "Tetris". However, no icons for these appear on the Playbook.
My home screen currently consists of two pages. These icons do not appear on either page. I have checked carefully.
I have checked inside the BlackBerry Bridge folder, just in case.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Tetris and still no luck.
I have reset the PlayBook (held down the power, and volume buttons for 10 seconds).
I have checked inside File Manager, Pictures, Music.
I am based in the UK, is it possible the app is not available to people in the UK?
Thanks for any advice!
Tom

Yeah. With the help of someone smarter than me in the office I now have the answer. And in case you miss this too - my icons for both Need for Speed and Tetris were not in the panel to the right. Instead, they were on the default panel but I had to swipe UP. I did not know that icons could be hidden there.
So I'm not feeling like the sharpest tool in the shed but in my defense the PlayBook offers no cues that there are any icons off the screen below (or above) in the same way that it does to the left or the right.
