I have a problem with disk utility that is not on my mac pro
Open your Applications folder then open the Utilities folder. It should be there.
If not, click the magnifying glass icon top right corner of your screen. That's Spotlight.
Type: Disk Utility
Hopefully it will show up.

I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

dears,
I have a problem with iPhone is that I can replace it at points of sale in the U.S. because I bought from Saudi Arabia because the problem I think in the hard ware I do resoftware more than 3 times did not fix.
Network also always missing.
I am living in KS Wichita. I hope you help me pleas.
Regards.iPhone warranty is not international. You will have to return your
iPhone to Saudi Arabia for repair/replacement. Either take it back
yourself or send to friend/relative for them to take to Apple. Apple
will not accept international shipments for repair nor will Apple
ship repaired/replaced iPhones out of the country where the repair
was done. -

Problems with Disk Utility Repairing Permissions
Has anyone who had problems with Disk Utility after installing 10.5.1 through Software Update been able to resolve them by installing the Combo update instead?
The Solution?
REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
Now everything is back to normal. -
Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
I have a problem with ( AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found ) The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be locate in the dynamic link library SWLite3.dll.
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck -
hello i have a problem with my fingerprint id its not working anymore like before his not recognised my finger anymore why ?
I have had to periodically delete and re-enter my fingerprint. The last update (7.1) may have improved that. You can delete by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode and then tap "Turn Passcode Off" and then go back to the same area, put a passcode back on and then a fingerprint.

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac
I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac. I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?
I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers. I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.
Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail. Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone. I have edited your previous response to remove the signature. -

Prepping to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.4 -- problem with Disk Utility
I have an 17" iMac that I'm preparing to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.4. In preparation, I did the following:
* Mounted a new external HD (LaCie) (my second one)
* Backed-up all personal files / folders to the new drive
* Ran Software Update to check for any recent updates - updated iTunes (6.0.3) + an iPod update
* Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions (which I do whenever I've installed or deteted software) -- Have never had any issues, but this is where my problem started.
Repair permissions hangs at the end (status bar to the very end), and it appears to be working on permissions related to iTunes (sorry, will have to run Disk Utility again and follow-up with the specifics). I ran it twice with the same result.
I saw other threads suggesting that the problem may be with the latest iTunes update (recommending moving the iTunes application folder to the desktop and rerunning Disk Utility), but it seems specific to 10.3. Could this be an issue with 10.2.8 as well. If I can successfully complete repairs to permissions (with the above workaround), can I proceed with the 10.4 upgrade, and if so, what should I do with the iTunes application folder (keep it on the desktop, or move it back)?
ThanksCornelius ... thanks for the follow-up. I went ahead and tried both methods, although I should note that I didn't show the iTunes.pkg or iTunesPhoneDrive.pkg files in the Library>Receipts folder as described in the two approaches. I had no luck at all with Kappy's solution (I moved the one file I did have -- iTunesX.pkg -- and Disk Utility stalled as before). I moved iTunes.pkg back to its original folder, and tried the first method you described. I moved the iTunes app to my desktop, and I was able to successfully repair permissions. I trashed two files (iTunes3.pkg and iTunes4.pkg) and left the iTunesX.pkg file as instructed (again, I don't show the iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg file at all). I reran Disk Utility with the same faulty result.
I suspect it may have something to do with the missing files. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks again.
Max:
Sorry I misunderstood you. Actually you don't move
your iTunes folder at all. Here are a couple of
procedures. Since I have not had to use it I can't
vouch for either, but I have heard both have worked
for others.Just to catalogue the
solutions listed above
Here's what I did, and it worked fine.
1) Move iTunes onto the Desktop.
2) Run Disk Utility
3) Go to HD>Library>Receipts and trash all iTunes
.pkg files EXCEPT for iTunesX.pkg and
iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg
4) empty Trash.
5) move iTune from Desktop back to 'Applications'.
Hey presto. you should now be able to repair
permissions again.
HTH
Kappy’s solution
1. Navigate to the /Library/Receipts/ folder.
2. Locate the iTunes.pkg and iTunesX.pkg files and
move them to the Desktop.
3. Run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
4. Move the .pkg files back into the
/Library/Receipts/ folder.Note that you
are not moving the iTunes folder, but the .pkg files
from the Receipts folder. In the first method you
Trash some of them, in the second you move them back.
But you don't touch the iTunes application as such.
Good luck.

Problems with Disk Utility & Mounting DMG!! Help!!
Hey guys, im a fairly inexperienced mac user anyways I recently bought a IBOOK G3 with Tiger 10.4 and i'm having major issues with Disk Utility and installing applications.
The issues with D.I are that it loads up then I get the error message "Disk Utlity started but a background process needed in Disk Utility didn't start properly. Please quit and restart Disk Utility. And when I do restart it, i get the same error over and over.
Also my second problem is whenever I try to and install DMG files I get the error: "Broken Pipe" and sometimes "Device Not Configured"
I've tried searching for resolutions for each problem but they both involve the other functioning! I'm really at a loss, i've tried using programs like pacifist to reinstall my original files etc and they haven't seemed to help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you xxxHi Kellie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again 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.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
Report if there were errors please. -
Problem with Disk Utility and with ITunes and with Classic
Greetings. I have had problems with ITunes recently; when I try to open it, it gives me the error message: "The ITunes Music Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
When I looked at the ITunes discussion section, people had two ideas for other people who had the same problem:
(1) Make sure that the library of music files is write-enabled (which it is) and not locked (it isn't) and
(2) Go to Disk Utility and repair the disk.
Since (1) is not a problem, I am trying (2). However, when I open Disk Utility, it just stays on the window, stating "Gathering disk information..." and proceeds no further.
Perhaps related to these problems, when I try to start up Classic, the window opens, but it gets stuck at the very beginning (stating "Classic starting up using System Folder ...") and proceeds no further.
Can anyone help me with these multiple problems? Thanks in advance.amandel
The problems you report are different than those relating to the iTunes receipts/DU conflict. Trashing those receipts as suggested is necessary to get DU to repair permissions, but, as I understand it, you couldn't get DU to recognise your drives. And I've seen no posts relating to iTunes 6 and Classic.
I've had the problem you describe before (at least vis-a-vis DU). In principle DU's "Repair Disk" function would fix it, but of course if the disk's don't mount in DU then you can't fix them:)
Therefore fsck is a good solution, or trying DU from the Installer Disk (don't start to install, just let the first installer window appear, go to the menu and choose "Open Disk Utility") and repairing. Then reboot and repair permissions, preferably with DU running from your hard drive.
Maybe you're more of a "don't touch what's still running" kind of person, but it sounds to me like the systems a bit wobbly and needs some tender loving care. You could try a clean up using a program like OnyX as well - it won't do any harm.

So I may have messed up with disk utility.
So I was messing around with disk utility and was partitioning out some of my hard drive. I then accidently quit disk utility part of the way through. So now, part of it's partitioned out, but it wont show up. And since I can't find it, I can't get rid of it.

Anyone have a problem with the HDMI port suddenly not recognizing any digital source imput signal?
I have an HP 2711x monitor.
Anyone suddenly have a problem with it no longer recognizing any digital source input with the HDMI port (or DVI), yet the VGA port works fine?
Thanks.Hello Largelee,
