  • No install disk-how to boot disk utilities

    I bought this new (2013) iMac which obviously has Mt. Lion on it. I want to know about how to deal with emergencies, etc.
    How do I boot from an install disk to run disk utilities, fix or repair, when there is no install disk? Likewise, in the past Apple has had several items that could be installed optionally, like developer tools, quicktime 7, etc. But with no actual disc how do I do that?
    Also, I bought Lion for my Mac Pro (2006) and MacBook Pro (2011). I installed that on both. Now I realize the MBP can take Mt Lion. Do I have to make a separate purchase for Mt. Lion for the MBP? (The Mac Pro, sadly, even though it was top of the line at the time, the 2006-2007 models cannot be upgraded to Mt. Lion, but I falsy assumed the MBOP had the same limitation. Now that I know it does not...
    Apple tech support has been great for me of late. Some of my difficulties lie in that I am a very long time Mac user but halted at Snow Leopard. I just recently bought new iMac; new iPad Mini; and Lion for MBP; all of which hustle me fully into iCloud. It's hard to separate out which of these new things might be cause for clarification. So even when Apple customer support is very gratious and helpful, I continue to have multiple problems and it's just too much time on the phone given that I get shuttled from one department to another for each different issue.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Disk utilities problems

    My sister tried reinstalling Panther and then ran Disk Utilities. Here's her email to me after things went south. Any ideas?
    "I am so ******. I installed Mac OS X again and then did Disk Utilities and couldn't get through it. Keep getting "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management tool and cannot continue . Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." --Disk Utility Internal Error
    I even ran Disk Utility from the start up disk--same thing. It just gets stuck and tells me to quit and relaunch, and when I hit Quit, it warns me that quitting will mess up whatever disk it's on. Now I can't get into Safari, and the whole thing is a mess. I read in the manual I bought that it's always a problem to reinstall a lower operating system on a higher one, which of course is what I did, and which is what the "Genius" at the Genius bar told me to do."

    Hi Jed,
    Could it be linked to the known issue with iTunes 6.0.2?
    If so, if you go to the HDD>Library>Receipts folder and get rid of previous iTunes .pkg files (leaving only iTunesX.pkg and iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg) that should sort it.
    Here's a link with more background info

  • How do i mount my time capsule so i can repair it with disk utilities?

    I'm trying to run disk utilities on my airport extrme base station and it won't work. Please help. thanks

    I'm trying to run disk utilities on my airport extrme base station and it won't work.
    Do mean to say that you have a hard drive attached to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme?
    If yes, Disk Utility cannot "see" a network drive. You must connect the drive directly to your Mac first, and then run Disk Utility on the drive.
    Your post mentions Time Capsule, but you may mean to say that you are using Time Machine to try to backup to the drive attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Might that be the case?
    If so, you should be aware that Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Exreme are not supported by Apple.
    This may likely be the reason that you are having difficutlies....although a few users do seem to be able to make this work.

  • Some USBs don't appear in Finder. They appear in Disk Utilities so how do I get them to appear in Finder?

    Some flash drives/USBs don't appear in Finder. But they appear in Disk Utilities so how do I get them to appear in Finder?

    If you've never used them before (they are new) then they are not formatted for Macs.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When you want to remove an external device you must Eject it:
    First, select the Desktop icon of the external disk. CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Eject from the context menu.

  • No Hard Drive Or Volume Icon In Powerbook G4 Firewire (aluminium) Disk Utilities: Reads Error: No Valid Packages (-9997)

    Whilst performing a zero/erase install on my Powerbook G4 Firewire (aluminium) with an OSX Tiger install disk (Tiger was the OSX i had erased), I had to force quite the installer as it appeared to be stuck on the Chinese script install section. I crashed the Powerbook down using the power button method. Now, when i power up the computer, it stays on the grey screen and just beeps at me. If i insert the install disks (both OSX Tiger or the original Powerbook Panther ones) there is no volume found  during the install process. In disk utilities no hard drive icon or volumes appear in the left hand list, just 2 headings regarding the OSX install disk. I have clicked 'Verify Disk Permissions' on these headings and receive this message in the action box: Error: No Valid Packages (-9997). All other options in disk utilities are not available to use (partitions section etc), as there is no hard drive recognized to perform anything on. I presume my erase install has wiped out my previous OSX Tiger without installing some essential on the Powerbook (receipts perhaps?). My Powerbook was working 100% before this install attempt. It's a very lightly used machine with no noises/whirrs coming from the hard drive that would suggest failure of some kind. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks for your advice old comm guy.
    I have run the Hardware Test as supplied with the Powerbooks install disks and everything has passed. I presume i can put my mind at rest about it being a problem in any of those departments. I have been browsing for a couple of weeks now and think my problem could be a loss in receipts/permissions somewhere. I remember looking for a lost file awhile back using a hard drive search programme through Terminal. It filled my hard drive almost to the maximum with unwanted retrieved files, it took me hours to erase all this again (never found the document i was looking for either). Perhaps a receipt was erased/trashed at this time?. Sometime later (prob weeks) i performed a fresh OSX install to give me an uncluttered faster running machine (I do this once a year). I zero erased the hard drive (including free space) and it was during this install that i had to force quit. It seemed to be stuck loading the Chinese Script so i had no option. After this the problem as described above has been persistent. Is there a way to restore receipts/permissions through Terminal or something like that?. Or maybe a procedure that one has to do when installing a new hard drive?. A step by step guide from someone would be a real help as i am not really confident using these advanced procedures.

  • How come my external hard drive is no longer visible in finder even after ticking it in preferences? it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help.

    it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help. also my external hard drive is a seagate free agent go, 500GB. it is visible on my tv but has no files in it… i'm scared i've lost everything?

    Honestly i cannot remember sorry, i got it like 5 maybe 6 yrs ago and just started downloading things to it as the memory on the computer started filling up and when i wanted to see photos/videos on my TV.
    My wife did tell me after i had written this post that she did try and record TV to it as it was plugged in. I think by doing so somehow has deleted everything.   It reads on my TV yet has no files in it but won't show up on my computer. hope this helps.
    Starting to think it is going to cost more to retrieve files on it than it will be to buy a newer and larger one.

  • Both time machine drive and startup disk can't be repaired by disk utilities and needs to be formatted!!??

    ok so i accidentally remove the USB while my laptop was backing up to the time machine partition on my external HDD. I plug it in again, and no time machine partition. just the other part (fat 32 partition). so i open disk utilities.. the partition is there but grayed out. so I repair it.. and it says it cant repair it i need to back it up and format it. ok great.. i tried to do that and it said it can't access the disk.. super.
    any way.. i don't know  why i decided to check my other drives and see how they're doing.. and it turns out.. my startup disk has problems.. and you guessed it.. it can not be repaired:D so i restart in recovery mode.. did it again.. and?  it can't be repaired.. i need to backup the drive and format it... (like the same problem with the time machine partition) just great! so i restart the laptop.. it safe boots.. I dnno why.. and everything is like it was.. I mean I don't see a problem with my drive.. i can do everything but that "cant repair" thing is scaring me.. what should I do? just leave it? or brace myself for a possible HDD death? I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BACKUP)
    help me i feel vulnerable

    As you have indicated, you don’t want to touch the partitions on your existing external drive because it has live files in the FAT32 partition for which there are no copies anywhere else.  That leaves you with two sets of data that are currently not backed up: your FAT32 partition and your system drive.  I suggest you need at least one more external HD for backups.
    A “backup” drive should never have live files on it because should that drive fail all the live files on it would be lost.  So you need a second external HD anyway for a proper backup scheme.
    I would partition a new disk as you have the current one and then copy all the FAT32 files form the old disk to the new one.  Then you can try repartitioning the old drive.  I would then setup a backup scheme to periodically clone the new FAT32 drive onto the old FAT32 one, using the new disk for your live FAT32 files and dedicating the old disk to backups.  You could also continue using the old disk for Time Machine backups.
    You can use Mac cloning software such as Carbon Copy Cloner to maintain the cloned backup copy of your FAT32 data.

    I have an iMac mid 2010. After Disk utilities said the drive was corrupt, I ran the hardware test (extended) 3 times. No problems. I than ran Disk utility again and got 2 messages in red…keys out of order, and ……Volume corrupt, can't be repaired.
    I tried to do a system install, but message said…disk can't be changed. Will a complete erase and install fix this ?
    Everything is backed-up.

    There's hardware and software.
    Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes).  The directory that keep track of files is corrupt.  Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue.  In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that.  You have to boot from another drive.  Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
    A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case.  Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
    In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption.  You can try erasing (formatting) the drive,  You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues.  I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation).  This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data.  If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format.  Then you know you need a new drive.

    You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.

    I assume your asking because you have data on that drive to recover first.
    Your going to need to install something like Data Rescue on your computer's boot drive, then connect the problem drive and another external drive with enough space to send all the recovered files too.
    Data Rescue takes a long time, it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves off the drive, not listening to anything else, it will cost you $100, but that's the going price for software like this.
    The option if that doesn't work is to take the internal hard drive out of the external case and use a SATA to USB adapter cable $40, then try the above Data Rescue method again.
    If you don't care about any data on the drive, then just toss it. Drives are cheap.

  • HT203176 i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities and said I need to repair disk from a cd. did that, I got volume repaired from the external disk. when I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair

    i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities (from hard drive), turned out I needed to repair disk from a installation disk. Did that, I got the volume (Hard drive) repaired from the installation disk disk. To this point, great!
    When I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair. I went thru two rounds of this.....
    Can anyone help? thanks

    Sorry guys, I don't see how to reply to you so I use reply to "me" basically.
    So the error I get is "volume header needs minor repair" and then you need to perform repair from the installation disk message.
    I did repair not verify from the disk twice. Every time ending in the "the volume had ha been successfully repaired". Then I reboot from the internal disk. Run disk utilities from it, do verify and get the same error message I got before repair. I hope this can shed some light fr you guys. Sorry I didn't include details in the original
    MEssage.

  • My time machine is not working and the disk utilities cant repair it and is asking me to format the drive again. How can I backup the files before formatting the drive so that I don't lose my files?

    Hi
    My time machine hard drive has stopped working after the latest update and the Disk Utilities says,:
    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
    How can I back up my files before reformatting when I can't even open the drive's folder?
    Thanks for the help.
