I have tried to repair my disk and this is the message I get: "Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use disk Utility to repair" How do I correctly perform this action?

I have a boot disk that needs repair and I would like to know the correct way to repair this disk using another install disc. I guess there is an issue with the volume free block count.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Insert/connect that disk if needed, start up with the Option key held down, tab to it, and press Enter. If it's a Mac OS X install DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. If it's a different Mac OS X installation, open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Repair the drive.

How do I do this: "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk?"

"This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."

Stick the disk in, reboot holding c.
Disk Utility is a menu option about the 2 or 3rd screen in the installer. (don't install OS X!)
Because your booted form the installer disk, you can repair the disk.
Quit and exit the installer and reboot.
If your drive is not repaired, make a note of all what it says, for Apple to use.
Reboot and get your files off to a external drive,
Take the note and your comptuer to Apple for a warranty/Apple care call, they will replace the drive.

I had better success doing this:
Download iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.

hi there!
the disk in my Mac desktop need repairing.
the Disc Utility is asking me to start the computer by running the Mac OS X TIGER installation disc and then repair the disc.
my question is;
by running the disc MAC OS X TIGER in order to repair it do i run the risk of downgrading the actual operating system of Lion to Tiger (which is 5 years old)?
thanking you in anticipation.
Kolindo.

the computer was bought 5 years ago so i have only one disc which is Tiger.
the lion was bought on line 4 months ago so i have no disc.
so it meas that i will be downgrading 5 years back if go ahead and do it?
No, don't do that. As Dave said, if you're running Lion, use the Recovery HD (partition, actually) that should be on your internal HD already. See Using the Recovery HD for details.

You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 60 days. This is the message I get when trying to view purchased material! My ID hasn't changed!

I can't pull up purchased content without this - You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 60 days. - my ID hasn't changed

You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading past purchases. It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer. It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.

Upgraded to firefox 4. Now when I google and type in the search topic a pop up window appears with possible matches (as always) if one matches my search topic and I click on it nothing happens. (it doesn't put the topic in the search box)

as above

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

"Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."

I'm running Lion on a 15" 500gb Spring 2011 MBP. Ran Disk Utility and got this message. Since I don't have an install disk for Lion, what do I do? Thanks!
P.S. I searched the database and all questions with this were pre-Lion.

Restart your Mac and press command R.
This brings up the invisible Rescue/Install partition placed on your drive when Lion was installed.
Alternatively, you can hold down the Option Key at Startup and choose "Recovery HD".
In either case, proceed as if you had booted from a DVD, answer only the "What Language" question, but do NOT Install. Wait for the MenuBar to be drawn and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.

I am trying to burn some pictures I took onto a dvd, and this is the message I get "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry." I"ve burned pictures before with no problem (b4 Lion)

I used to be able to, and after downloading Lion yesterday, I no longer can.
Help please.
Thanks.
