"image size could not be verified - operation not performed" when I go to restore to my hard drive. What do?
I want to restore my disk image using disk utility. I keep getting "image size could not be verified - operation not performed" when I go to restore to my hard drive. What do?
I would like to partition my disk but it says I have to restore my disk image first so that files can be moved. This is really obnoxiously hard for someone who is only moderately tech savy. Any help is appreciated, but please no links to 3rd party sites. I would like to keep this with the software I already have.
Thanks ^_^
Sorry nobody has replied yet, but how was this disk image made?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 at top of the screen. (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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?
Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

I'm using a Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X 10.4.11. When installing the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex portable hard drive, I find an error in the logs - "dyld: Symbol not found: ___stack_chk_guard"
Referenced from: /Volumes/Mac Installer/MacInstall.app/Contents/MacOS/MacInstall
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
How do I fix this? Thanks,OK, OSX can read that but not write, but...
A few options...
You could format that HDD as Fat32/MS-DOS, but you'd be limited to 4 GB Filesizes.

My new iMac will not allow me to daisy chain my external hard drives - what can I do?!
I just purchased the new late 2013 iMac 27" and all is wonderful except it will NOT allow me to daisy chain my external hard drives which is a HUGE problem because I'm a professional photographer & I won't be able to access my images unless I can sort this out. I know I can purchase a new giant hard drive but i'd prefer not to because I have about 12 TB of data which will be expensive & time consuming to transfer & I'd also prefer not to have that much info tied into one device. Ultimately I will need to get a Drive with multiple bays but I'd really like a short term solution that works for the drives I currently have. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!!
Why can't you daisy chain your drives. If it's because the iMac only has a Thunderbolt port and you have Firewire drivers purchase the Thunderport to Firewire adaptor from Apple: Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240 image size? If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.
What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself? -
I cannot find videos (not movies) that i have transferred to my macbook pro from an external hard drive, these files used to be on my windows PC. Photos and a few of the videos came over but i am missing the majority of the videos. Help please!!! I have tried omnidisksweeper with no success in finding them.
in my Usage it says i have over 40 gb of movies when i only have about 9gb which i can see using spotlight search. i really hope the other amount is my missing videos! these are videos of my kids as babies.Read this post and do the migration again, putting the library in a portable shape first if necessary.

I bought a movie on itunes and when i try to play it on my apple tv it says the device is not autorized. My apple tv is the older one with an actual hard drive that is full. Tha apple tv is logged into my itunes account.
ATV2 does not have permanent storage. The rental is flushed when the device is turned off or other content accessed. You would need to use your computer to rent (and home-share to ATV) if you wish to store for a later time.
