Issues with freezes and HD problem from DU

I could write multiple pages about all the symptoms and everything that happened, but knowing that many won't read it anyway here is a short story of what happened to my MBP. Please help me out if you can!
Lately my MCP13 has been freezing and the only way was to get it out was shutting it off and turning it on. Once I couldn't boot it. Of course, I tried everything but the only solution was to boot it from the install disk and run disk utility. Many times the computer froze as soon as I launched DU or it could not find my MacintoshHD. After three times of rebooting, it detected the MacintoshHD and said that it is corrupt (number of volumes incorrect xxxxxy instead of xxxxxx). I repaired it and it seemed fine after one more check. Then I rebooted the computer and ran DU again. It said that the files were corrupt (same problem), I turned off the computer, launched it from the disk again and repaired it. Once I turn it on from MacHD I run DU again and it says that files are corrupt again.
Anything had similar issues? What should I do besides taking it to the AppleStore?
Thanks for reading this,

If it's under warranty, Apple will do it. If not, search the Apple Support site for the instructions for your model. Example:

  • Issue with update and purchase app from App Store from Iran

    Hi dudes. I have the following issue with app store and iTunes form my country. I have had 1009 ERROR past year since APPLE blocked Iran form accessing iTunes because of US sanctions. But till recent months and when US gov. gave permissions to US companies to reduce sanctions to Iran, the 1009 ERROR
    disappeared.
    Unfortunately in recent weeks, accessing iTunes and App Store is denied from Iran again. Why? and What can we (Apple Fans and Customers) do?

    solved for digi clock.
    solution:
    - turn journe off.
    - insert sd card with latest firmware
    - reset journe with reset switch (left to right)
    - boot journe and follow instructions
    - install digi clock from virtual store
    (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT0502VS0000R01.htm).
    but still recieve error message when using the gutenberg app (like mentioned before).
    so, if somebody could just try the app and give me a response. that would be nice. gutenberg is a great platform for free ebooks, but without the possibility to search its useless.
    thanks in advance,

  • Issues with freezing and now, Disk Warrior.

    My Mac keeps freezing (with the pinwheel).  I went to run Disk Warrior to see if that helped, and it told me to delete a file that didn't exsist (com.Alsoft.diskwarrior.prefs... or something like that).  I am at the end of my rope.  Please help.

    OK thanks. With the exception of the Disk Warrior dialog, everything looks completely normal.
    I recommend doing as it says - find Disk Warrior prefs and drag it to the trash. Most likely you will find it in your user's Library folder. To find it navigate to your Macintosh HD, open the Library folder, and open the Preferences folder. Find the suspect file and drag it out of there.
    Yours will not look exactly like the following but you shoud be able to figure it out:
    You should also find a way to get rid of Disk Warrior. It is not helping and may be hurting.
    Troubleshooting this problem will also be hindered by not having an original system install DVD. Without it you will not be able to run Apple Hardware Test, you will not be able to repair your hard disk using Disk Utility, and you will you be able to reinstall the OS, which is one of the suggested remedies in the link I posted earlier. I recommend you buy a replacement disk from Apple if for no other reason than to be able to reinstall an unadulterated version of Snow Leopard. It is only $30.
    There are some other things to try.

    Starting the computer in "safe mode": Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    Read about what Safe Mode does before doing it - particularly, it will take longer to boot and some things simply won't work normally. However, if running in safe mode stops the freezes it will be a clue we can work with.

  • Really unhappy with Bold issues with freezing and Verizon not backing products

    I started a discussion on the issues I'm having a few weeks ago, and things are getting worse.  I bought the Bold online just over 2 months ago, and really liked it at first.  I started noticing that it would freeze up and the only button that would do anything is the screen lock button.  When the phone would lock up, pushing the screen lock would shut the screen down, but nothing else; the phone would be totally frozen.  I would have to take the battery out and reset the phone.  This started happening more often, so I decided I would return it, but when I looked at the paperwork, it said that I had just a few weeks after receiving it to return it.  Of course this time had already passed so I can't return the phone. 
    The problem is now happening 3-4 times a day, and usually at the worst possible times.  I'm also having problems with when I place a call, it goes through, but the person on the other end can't hear me. 
    Its pretty sad that a company will take phones back, "repair" them, and sell them as refurbished, but not back them for longer than a few weeks.  I was surprised to be told when I got the phone that insurance wasn't offered on it, and now I know why that is. 
    I've learned to never buy refurbished again, especially if the company doesn't back its product.  My options now are to spend another $200 for a phone on top of the $100 already spent, or move onto another provider.  My wifes contract with Sprint is almost up and we were going to move her to Verizon, but it maybe the other way around. 

        Hello everyone, there recently was a software update for the Bold that was supposed to address a lot of the audio issues.
    If you have updated and are still having audio issues, or any other issues such as freezing devices, please let us know. The new software version is: 7.1 Release 1737 (App: 7.1.0.580; Platform: 5.1.0.429),
    Thank you,

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

  • Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

    A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
    Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
    On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
    To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
    1st: iWeb media center
    To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
    Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
    Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
    2nd: Drag and Drop
    I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
    As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
    Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
    http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
    So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

    Jedi,
    Perhaps you are right.
    I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
    I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
    After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
    I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
    Now I have 2 questions:
    1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
    2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
    TIA,
    Narvon

  • Uk date format issue with ASP and Access Database

    Its not Dreamweaver, or Access, its your servers locale, its
    set to US
    format, not the UK.
    On your page at the top use:
    <% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
    This will force the page into using UK formatted dates. Use
    it on any
    page that needs to format the page correctly.

  • Are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

    are there any compatibility issues with Sonos and Airport extreme??

    Sonos uses its own priopietory wireless protocol SonosNet to distribute audio data among all its products, thus it should not affect other network devices which use standard WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n protocol at all though they may share the same radio channel for wirless signaling.
    On my dual-band (5 GHz / 2.4 GHz) Airport Extreme staion, I select the option "802.11n Only (5GHz) - 802.11n (2.4GHz)" and turn on "Use wide channels" in Wireless configuration in order to use only 802.11n protocol and more radio channels to achieve maximum wireless bandwidth of 400 Mbps. This bandwidth is necessary for quick Time Machine backup to NAS connected to the Airport Extreme station through Ethernet cable. So my iMac and MacBook Pro always connected to the Airport Extreme through 5 GHz radio channel with 802.11n protocol whereas my iPhone 4S always connected through 2.4 GHz radio channel with the same protocol.
    In my living room Sonos ZP-90 (same as new CONNECT model) zone player is connected to Airport Extreme directly through Ethernet cable (recommended by Sonos) and Sonos S5 (same as new PLAY:5 model) zone player in bedroom is connected wirelessly through SonosNet protocol to the ZP-90 zone player in living room.
    These devices are in operation simutaneouly most of the time. Music is playing through the Sonos ZP90/S5 zone players througout the day, I am streaming viedo through Internet (fibre broadband 25 Mbps) on my MacBook Pro in bedroom or iMac in living room or reading news on my iPhone. So far so good and have no encounter any interference problem for about three years. Further more bandwidth for 802.11n protocol does not seem to be affected at all.
    In fact with a low power Fujitsu USB drive (2.5" / 500 GB, designed for notebook) plug into USB port of Airport Extreme, it can be used as NAS drive for Sonos music distribution system without any problem. Just transfer all files from Music folder in my home directory on iMac into this NAS drive and set it up as music source in "Manage > Music Library Settings" in Sonos Controller for Mac application will do. Though the same drive can be served as Time Machine's backup disk as well, an independent full-fledged NAS drive for Sonos and Time Machine backup is better long-term solution for reliability and performance. With the NAS configured as sole music source, you do not need to keep any computer powered on all the time in order to play music through the Sonos system.

  • Read This First If You Are Having a BASIC Issue with Importing and Burning!

    Most people who are new to iTunes and are not computer saavy find that their issues with burning and more typically importing are due to their security software "fighting iTunes". In most cases this is not apparent with an error message but just causes very slow sluggish performance and looks on importing as if the songs never import. Therefore an initial place to check is to disable your security system (make sure you are not connected to the internet and remember to enable upon completion!)and try to import. In many many cases users find that this corrects their problem. I have found that this is the issue 80% of the time when helping people with import issues from CD's. For some reason this is a much more prevalent issue with iTunes 6.0 than previous versions. Try it - You may like it.

  • Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

    As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed.  Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system.  Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed.  Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
    I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs).  This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
    To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues.  In other words, it does not work as it should. 
    I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
    I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it.  I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design.  Support can't fix what is broken the program.
    Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing.  Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours.  I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.
    David

    As an IT consultant,  i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS,  not an iPad on my desk.  ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
    Why break Samba ( a standard ),  why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
    The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine,  but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can...  if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
    Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru,  easy enough for your Mom".  Now they just want the Moms.
    And i disagree,  we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...",  they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake.  They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

  • ADF Faces - issue with Portal and af table

    I wonder if anybody could help me with a problem we are experiencing with running our ADF Faces app inside a portal (NOT Oracle Portal). We are using the af table tag with the rows attribute set as follows:
    <af:table emptyText="No items found"
    rows="10" banding="row"
    bandingInterval="1"
    binding="#{backing_ModuleSearchReg.table1}"
    id="table1"
    var="row">
    What this does is if we have more than 10 rows to display it will display
    a table header that has a label 'Previous 1-10 of nnn' Next 10. However, when you click on 'Next 10' it produces a Javascript error.
    When we run the app outside of the portal we do not get this problem.
    I believe this is related to known issues with JSF and Javascript inside a 'framed' web page. But if anybody help me with this or point me to a resource that can help it would be very much appreciated.
    Many Thanks in advance.
    Chris

    Hi,
    I remember a similar issue with inner frames that should be fixed in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3. The problem was that the ADF Faces JavaScript did not get the correct document root.
