Bye, Marco.

You can't repair the start up disk while on that disk. You need to boot from the install disk and then run disk utility from there. Restart your MacBook holding down the C key while having the disk in the drive. Then use disk utility to repair the disk. This happens once in a while. Unless it happens a lot I wouldn't worry.
Here is Apples doc concerning this. Mac OS X: Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

    Hi,
    have you tried booting your Mac from the recovery partition by holding cmd-r while booting? If that works, then start the Disk Utility from the menu and try a "Repair disk".
    After the Disk Utility is finished, try the "Repair Permissions". Though this is a highly overrated "feature", it might even help in your situation. Do this repeatedly until nothing changes. This doesn't mean there won't be any messages left over.

  • 2 out of 3 voting disk gets corrupted

    O/S - Oracle Linux
    DB Version - Oracle 11.2.0,3
    Three node RAC
    Voting disks is 3 in Normal redundancy out of which 2 disks gets corrupted.
    I know the process of recovering the voting disk but I am not able to stop the cluster services and start the same in exclusive mode. I am always getting "Unable to communicate with CRS services" . I rebotted 3 nodes but the same issue persists.
    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Is ASM used for OCR and voting disk storage?
    This is the recommendation and the default - creating a normal redundancy diskgroup with an additional quorum disk (i.e. 3 disks in total).
    There is an automated backup of the OCR. No backup needed for voting files. So it is not a disaster loosing the cluster's OCR and/or voting disks.
    Assuming ASM and a diskgroup is used.
    Anything else on the diskgroup?
    I recently had a similar problem. I used the diskgroup only for OCR and voting disks. Lost 2 disks. I shutdown the RAC. Started CRS in exclusive mode on 1 node. Launched sqlplus and dropped the diskgroup and recreated it with 3 disks (and a quorum). Restored the OCR backup. Confirmed the voting disks config (no need to change it as the underlying diskgroup did not have a name change).  Restarted that node. Forced a rebalance of the diskgroup. Then started the remaining cluster nodes.
    There are Oracle Support Notes that describe these steps in detail. It should be relatively easy finding the note for fixing a 11gr2 RAC's OCR/voting ASM diskgroup.
    If you have database data on it too - problems. If the remaining working disk is the quorum disk, then both mirror disks are toast. If not, you can try to force the disks online again - assuming disks are okay and broken path was fixed. Else add 2 new disks to replace the 2 broken disks and rebalance. Never done this myself though with a quorum 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.

HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly

    This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
    First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
    Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.

  • The download disk get to 99% after

    the download disk get to 99% after reading the wireless hookup them states ti takes too long to load. then it says to restart pc

    Hi @tummies ,
    I see that you are having issues installing the printer software. It gets to 99% and times out. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    I believe after connecting the USB for the initial setup, the Universal Driver is being installed instead of the Laserjet driver, which is causing this error. Please follow the steps below to see if we can get you up and running.
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Run the uninstall from the CD.
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
    Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
    Perform a clean boot before installing the software again. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Right after connecting the USB cable, follow this document immediately so you won't get the Fatal error again. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. After this is done the installation should continue. Then you can configure the wireless.
    Test the printer.
    Then you will have to go back and enable the Startup programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • Disk Utility Broken (fails to image or verify properly)

    Hey, my disk Utility seems to be broken.
    When I try to clone a drive it goes along fine, then ultimately creates something that doesn't pass it's own verification afterwards, and fails when I try to open the image.
    I repair both the cloned (main/internal) drive, and the destination drive. I use Disk Warrior on it so it's nice and clean, but still it fails.
    So I created an image with SuperDuper by making a copy on a free reformated drive then bouncing it back onto the original drive as a clone/image. That works, and disk utility sees it as good, but aparently a little too good, cause it says it over and over and craps out.
    Here's the error I get:
    Disk Utility internal error
    Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility.
    (Quit)
    Then in the background the DU program says:
    Volume passed verification
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume passed verification
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume passed verification
    1 HFS volume checked
    and repeats this on into infinity.
    Then when I check (Quit) it says it's still in progress and quitting could leave the disk non operations depending on the task.
    Since this is a read only task (verify) I'm not worried about that, but it doesn't mean that the DU isn't screwed.
    I've tried using DU off the istall disk and that doesn't seem to work either. So did they just ship me a bad system install disk? Should I be looking for another copy of DU?

    Your issue lost connection with the Disk Management Tool is normally a Panther problem, but some Tiger users have experianced it also. Follow the advice in this link.
    If you follow the tips in there it should straighten out Disk Utility.
    Cheers!

  • Disk Utility broken while booted from Installation CDs??

    Situation: I have a Macbook Pro with a 120 GB HDD. I had partitioned it into two partitions, and later desired that I should have only one partition on the drive. I booted the Mac OS X installation CDs and attempted the following three-step procedure:
    1. Use Disk Utility to image my system partition into a file on an external USB drive
    2. Verify the image and repartition ("Erase") my laptop's internal HDD
    3. Restore the disk image from the external HDD to the laptop's HDD.
    I made it to step 3 without issue. So currently I have one unbootable Macbook Pro, an 85 GB image of a system partition on a USB HDD, and a perfectly bootable Intel Mac Mini from which I'm writing this post.
    Problem: Disk Utility doesn't seem to be able to restore images when booted from the Installation CDs. On the 'Restore' tab there are two fields you must fill in, a 'source' field and a 'destination' field. The source field has a button where you can summon a very helpful file-picker, and it pulls up my disk image from my USB drive just fine. However, the destination field can only be filled in by clicking and dragging a drive from the left panel in Disk Utility.
    However, it seems impossible to do this while booted from the Installation CDs. When I attempt to click and drag a disk from the left panel list, all I end up accomplishing is selecting multiple items from the list. To make a visual illustration:
    Instead of this, like I get when I try it on my mac mini booted normally:
    http://upload.pbase.com/silentplummet/image/72221384.jpg
    ...I get this, which is a photo of my macbook pro booted from the installation CDs:
    http://upload.pbase.com/silentplummet/image/72221397.jpg
    There doesn't seem to be any way to actually select a destination drive. If I had to hypothesize, I would guess that the GUI is crippled when you boot from CD and click+drag is deactivated. But that appears to make it impossible to restore images since the only way to select destination drives is by clicking and dragging.
    Now I am a college student; I'm not really losing revenue or anything over this, but this is an awful oversight on Apple's part and I am stuck on what to do about it. There is no documentation that says "Restore functionality is crippled in Disk Utility when booting from installation CDs." Here are the steps I have tried for an alternate solution:
    -Commandline diskutil. Unfortunately Apple has crippled it and there appears to be no imaging functionality whatsoever.
    -Mount the image manually and cp the files back over. Unfortunately I can't make it preserve permissions. I passed the right options to cp but it just won't do what it's supposed to. I tried copying it anyway and using Disk Utility to repair the permissions, but it still wouldn't boot.
    -Call Applecare. The support rep was kind and helpful but couldn't offer a solution. The higher-ups fed me some BS about not supporting third party applications, well, I hardly think Disk Utility constitutes a third party application.
    My next step is to boot the MBP in target disk mode and use my mac mini to restore the image to the MBP HDD, but I have to buy a firewire cable for that and I don't really want to.
    Seeking: acknowledgement that Disk Utility is broken and Apple *****, or otherwise immediate solutions to restore the image to my HDD that do not constitute monetary expenditures on my part.
    Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 GHz Mac mini 1.5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Others have (in the Mac Pro forum) noticed this bug in Disk Utility on the Intel version install disks. Your easiest fix would be to reinstall OSX on you Macbook disk, boot it, mount the disk image from the USB drive, and use the Migration Assistant to copy over all your accounts and data files.

  • LaCie 500g Big Disk getting hardware error on new Mac Mini

    I accidentally unplugged the power cord on my new MacMini (it looks and feels very much like a firewire cable!) After that my LaCie Big Disk became unsearchable. It WILL mount with both Firewire and USB2.0 cables. I ran Disk Utility. I do not get the option to repair ANY permissions on either the Volume or the Disk itself only the option to "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk". The resulting error is posted below. It is no longer searchable on the OS 9.2.2 G4 computer either.
    I DO have the latest software updates. This external LaCie hard drive was Mac HFS+ formatted and working previously on OS9.2.2 and I will need to switch it back and forth between the OS 9.2. computer and my new MacMini. Have I any other choice but to reformat? If so which format will allow back and forth usage between OS 9 and OS X?

    Hi Kim, I had a similar (although not exactly the same) experience to yours when I first got my LaCie (which is a d2, 250 GB) and accidentally cut power (with the power button on the HD itself) to the disk while my computer was in sleep mode. Since it was my boot drive, I also got kernel panics, and the only way I was able to get rid of them (and get a working system) was an Erase & Install of OS X. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve all my files, but you seem unable to browse it anymore, I guess that's what you mean when you say it isn't "searchable". Hope you had a good backup solution ...
    What Disk Utility reports - Invalid Node Structure - is exactly the same issue I had, and Disk Utility doesn't seem able to repair it easily. Since you don't seem to use the drive to boot, you can simply reformat it using Disk Utility. I would suggest HFS+, and if you want to boot OS 9, select the "Install OS 9 drivers" option.
    BTW I'm not sure whether you can get a dual-boot OS 9/OS X for Intel system (in case you'd be interested), because booting off an external drive on a Macintel requires the drive to be formatted with the GUID partition scheme, whereas OS 9 porbably only works with Apple's partition scheme.

  • How many refurbished devices to you have to get before you stop getting broken ones and get a new one

    I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon.  It is a black, 32 GB phone.  I received my first one in February and around the first of June I started having issues that I could not answer the phone.  It would ring and then lock up.  I would have to shut off the phone and turn it back on to then call the number back.  I am a Deputy Sheriff, assigned as a school resource officer for an elementary of approximately 950 children and a high school of approximately 700.  I rely on the phone heavily for communications in this position.  Email and messaging are a must.  I received the refurbished phone on June 03 and I immediately had an issue with the naive email application.  When I took it back to Verizon, they informed me the only way to correct the issue was to use a 3rd party application.  The original phone worked fine with the native app.  The phone then continued to have other issues and I have been into Verizon on 3 occasions since the 3rd with issues.  In the past 24 hours, this refurbished phone has developed an issue with the soft keys on the bottom of the device.  The menu key and the back key have stopped working.  They light up, but do not function beyond that.  I spoke with Verizon and they are sending me another "broken" and refurbished phone.  I asked what I had to do to get a new phone and not a broken one and they told me to call Samsung, they could make that happen.  I contacted Samsung and they told me they could only have me send it in for repair, that Verizon is the only one that determines to replace with a new phone or a refurbished phone.  So I anticipate receiving my new, broken phone that has been refurbished on Monday or Tuesday of this coming week.  If this one fails as well, do I get a 4th broken phone, or what is my options.  Thank you

    Hi Joel,
    Thanks for the answer.  I am aware of what the refurb is suppose to be, however, I find that more often than not, they crash pretty quickly.  I did the safe mode for 3 days, reloading apps one at a time and I did not find anything that was not compatible.  I am not sure why this device is locking up, but I know that in my job, I need to count on the phone way to much to have to keep sending it back.  I would buy out the early edge, but I read in one of the posts where a guy did that and Verizon would not accept it because it was a refurb and not the original.  Seems no matter what, the customer that pays on time, for many years always loses
