My HD needs to be Repaired every month. Is this normal?

I joined the Apple family in February 2012 with the purchase of my MacBook Pro 15". The MBP has been working absolutely wonderfully and confirms why I gave up on Windows and PCs. The only "fly in the soup" has been that I must run Repair Disk at least once a month due to errors found when I verify my HDD.
Is this normal maintenance or not? If it is not then why do I need to do it so often? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

"Incorrect size for file temp" alerts can be safely ignored
You may notice some "Incorrect size for file tempnumber" alerts when you attempt to verify or repair a volume using Disk Utility or fsck_hfs with the "-l" option. You can safely ignore these alerts for any "tempnumber" files.
For example, you might see something like this:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect size for file temp420595
(It should be 0 instead of 84538)
Incorrect size for file temp468627
(It should be 0 instead of 16464)
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
If this happens, use fsck in single user mode, or start up your computer from a different volume before verifying or repairing.
Advanced: This issue can happen because the on-disk size for truncated open-unlinked files doesn't get updated before you start a live verification. The presence of these files doesn't cause an issue because their in-memory size is correct. These files are deleted as soon as they are closed. If your computer does not shut down normally, they will be deleted during the next startup.

    i do not like the idea of repairing every month.
    Feel the imacs supplied to India are sub standard ones

    Folks have reported that the Apple policy is three major component failures and the Mac is replaced. For the first two the Mac is repaired. Apple would not risk alienating its customers from one of the most populated nations in the world, so its time to stop the "discriminating against the poor Indians and selling us sub-standard Macs" routine. Occasionally the universe aligns just right for there to be a Mac lemon. Folks in every country have experienced lemons. It is the hazard of manufacturing millions of Macs with even more millions of parts, all produced by different parts suppliers. And it is why the manufacturer's warranty exists.
    Speak to the vender about a replacement. If necessary call Apple Care and request that your warranty service call be escalated to Customer Relations. Politely, but firmly, explain the situation and stand your ground that the solution to make you a happy customer is to have the Mac replaced. Don't make threats, mention lawyers or claim that Apple discriminates against Indians. If you do, you will have lost your case and Apple will then work with you from a distance and follow it policies and procedures to the letter, regardless of whether it makes you happy.

  • Certificate Services help required to a complete noob. :( keep get errors every month.

    Hi, AD isn't my area of expertize, but I need to setup Cert Services.
    I have setup an offline ROOT CA, and online issuing server. I ve done lots of reading, and followed some TechNet articles for setting up this config :-
    https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831348.aspx
    After install and config it was all working fine. I can issue certs for internal websites and all works well. but every month I seem to fall foul of this error, and cannot understand what's going wrong and how to fix it. so any help would be greatly appreciated
    the cert service has stopped , and trying to restart gives this error :-
    "The Revocation Function was unable to check Revocation because the revocation Server was offline , 0x80092013 (-2146885613 Crypt_E_revocation_offline)
    if I bring the root ca online, and request a new cert and copy the CRL and CRT files over, its works again, but only for a month.
    I am totally new to cert services, please help !!
    Kind Regards
    Mark

    It sounds like everything is working as expected. From what you describe, it sounds like the offline root CA has a 1 month base CRL period. This means that *every* month (sounds familiar?), you have to turn on the root CA, and publish an updated CRL. After
    creating the updated CRL, you must copy it to the locations referenced in the CDP extension of the certificates issued by the root CA.
    Once published, everything works.
    This is by design. If you want to publish a CRL with a longer validity period, then you must modify the CRL settings on the root CA. For example, if you wanted a six month base CRL, delta CRL disabled, and a 2 week overlap period, you could run the following
    lines from a batch file:
    Certutil -setreg CA\CRLPeriodUnits 6
    Certutil -setreg CA\CRLPeriod "Months"
    Certutil -setreg CA\CRLDeltaPeriodUnits 0
    Certutil -setreg CA\CRLDeltaPeriod "Days"
    Certutil -setreg CA\CRLOverlapUnits 2
    Certutil -setreg CA\CRLOverlapPeriod "Weeks"
    You then must restart ADCS on the root. Then you would only have to run the process you described every six months, rather than every month. This is normal PKI maintenance when you have an offline CA.

  • Schedule a Job on 2nd sunday of every month

    Can someone please help on how to schedule a job on 2nd sunday of every month. thanks in advance

    You can schedule the job for specific date on every month, but this criteria does not cover on the standard funcionalities, because month date are different e.g. 28,30,31 so you cannot do the same by standard option.

  • I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me?

    I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

    This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
    You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
    And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
    Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
    The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
    Data table:
    D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
    D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
    D3 (and filled down the rest of column D):   =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
    The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
    Summary table:
    Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
    Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
    C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
        =COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
    Two changes from the previous example:
    COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
    The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
    See note below regarding my earlier formula.
    When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
    Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
    To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
    As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
    Regards,
    Barry
    Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
    The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
    In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
    Fill down to E8.
    Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

  • I need an event to repeat on the 1st Thursday of every month; the only option I have is every 6th or every 8th day.

    I would like to have a repeating event on the first and third Thursday of every month. I cannot make a repeating monthly event on the same day of the week.
    Also, I keep getting an overlay on my Yahoo screen that says I must have logged out or closed another page and I need to log in when I haven't done that. Is that a Yahoo problem?

    For your repeating even, I'm assuming this is your Yahoo calendar? that isn't a Firefox issue, I suggest you try to contact yahoo.
    For the other issue, try the following:
    Update to Firefox 15. Then, [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • I need to have a paper bil in the mail every month.  Just because i choose sometimes to pay on line, i still wish to have a paper bill.  I did not receive one this month, and just by chance went online and see a bill is due shortly.  Can you please confir

    I need to have a paper bill each month even though sometimes I pay my bill on line.  I just went online and see a bill is due in a couple of days.  I would not have know had I not signed in.

    Your bill closing date and bill due date are the same every month. Log into your MyVerizon account to see if there is a setting for paper bills. Or you could call CS to request it.

  • Mdx query to get the last date of every month if the month is current month need current date..

    i have a scenario where i need the data of last date of every month and if the month is current month need current date data...
    is it possible using MDX...

    Hi Shashi,
    According to your description, you want to return the last day for each month except current month, right?
    In MDX, we can use ClosingPeriod function to return the member that is the last sibling among the descendants of a specified member at a specified level, here is a sample query for you reference.
    with member [measures].[a]
    as
    ClosingPeriod ([Date].[Calendar].[Date],[Date].[Calendar].currentmember).name
    select {[measures].[a]} on 0,
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1
    from
    [Adventure Works]
    And then use the IIF function to evaluate if the month is current month. Please refer to the links below.

  • Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD.  When I boot on Recovery and run verify disk, the error doesn't come anymore. Just when I run verify disk on normal mode. Anybody has seen this before?

    My Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) has been freezing out of the blue probably once every two months. I restarted on safe mode, went to Disk Utility, repaired permissions and ran "Verify Disk" and got  the following:
    Invalid directory item count(It should be 114483 instead of 114484)
    File system check exit code is 8.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
    Rebooted on Recovery mode and ran "Verify Disk" but the message didn't appear anymore, thus not letting me to access the "Recovery HD" procedure.
    When I restart normally and do the disk verification I get the same error.
    Has anybody come to something similar?
    Suggestions?

    I never  ever run a Verify Disk. I simple repair the disk drive and then the user partition(s).
    And do one or two Safe Boots.
    Also helpful to have two full backups: TimeMachine at least, plus a clone of your system drive and data.
    Install or clone the system to an external hard drive, repair that and then boot from it, check that everything works, repair the internal drive.
    You need to use Repair to TRIM an SSD.
    Lots of problems with Yosemite when updating install a new OS. Always better to backup, erase, install, and then use Setup Assistant to import and restore settings and files.
    Probably better to post in the MacBook Pro forum or better yet, in Yosemite forum.

  • Adobe Acrobat X crashes every month around the same day

    Every month, just before invoicing (when I need PDFs), my Adobe Acrobat X crashes. No PDF will open, and clicking on the program icon ignores me.
    The problem is that when I try to reinstall just Acrobat, EVERY Adobe programme reinstalls. Then EVERY adobe programme wants to update to it's latest version (about a gig of downloads). This is a lot of hassle every single month. Is it going to do it forever? I have a full licence for CS6 Design Pack, and the licence number has been put in each time.

    Does a REPAIR work?
