My Mac says that something is wrong with my Macintosh HD. Is this repairable???

I'm trying to download the new OS X Maverick and my Mac is telling me that the Macintosh HD is damaged. Is this repairable?

Do not use a Snow Leopard DVD to repair the HD and permissions for Mountain Lion. Disk Utility has changed a bit since Snow Leopard. Always use the Disk Utility that comes with the version of OS X you have installed.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, 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.

Why is my camera saying that something went wrong with recording my video?

Video not working
My camera is saying that something went wrong while recording my video.
I have a Windows 8 HP Laptop, and I'm trying to make a video and it is saying that something went wrong while recording it. I would appreciate it if I can get some help on this issue as soon as possible, thank you.

Hello @Jessi-Marie ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're getting errors while recording video on your notebook.
It would help to know which product you are using. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
It would also help to know which software you are using to record the video.
Have you tested the webcam with other software like Skype or CyberLink's YouCam software? It could be a conflict between the software and the webcam, or just the software, or just the webcam. We want to do our best to try and isolate the issue so we can focus our troubleshooting there.
I look forward to your reply!

I am not able to use my account because it says that something went wrong with my billing info., but i do not have a credit card but it says i do. I put $15 itunes card on it today and now apple is not letting me use it.

This is the second time I have had a problem with my account. I am extremely frustrated with it. A while ago I was not able to purchase anything including free apps. At that time I had an outstanding balance. Which had been from using a visa card on my account. I was then told to purchase iTunes cards which would be able to pay it. It then automatically took of the money for the balance that it needed. So I thought okay problem solved. Then for about a month or two I was able to buy music and apps. Now on April 8th, 2012 I am not able to buy anything again after I put a 15 dollar iTunes card on it. It is saying that my account had been opened on another device/ computer. But I use my computer for my account too.

something went wrong with my apple tv and now it says that it is in retail demo mode. How can i fix it? I have had it for more than one year without any problem

To turn on/off retail mode, go to settings, general, legal.
Do not open legal, just put the cursor there.
Then, on the remote, type this sequence : right - right - left - center.
The AppleTV should reboot.

I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy, after a minute its just white. What to do?

I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy but after a minute it just comes up a window thats completely white.
I've tried a lot of things, but my Macintosh classic (with original floppys) runs 7.0.0. And the PowerBook needs atleast 7.0.1 and did run 7.1.0 as original OS.
How do I fix this?

Because your PowerBook 145B shipped with OS 7.1, it can't run an earlier version of the Mac OS, such as 7.0.1. Unfortunately, Apple never made OS 7.1 available for download. You can run OS 7.5.1, 7.5.3, and 7.5.5 on your PowerBook, but I'd recommend doing so with the maximum amount of supported memory - 8 MBs. The 19-part download of OS 7.5.3 is segmented, so that each one will fit on a 1.44 MB floppy disk. The problem is that the 19-diskette set isn't an installer set as such, having no bootable disk. It's solely intended to be used to transfer the individual segments to the resident hard drive in the computer. Once that's done, double-clicking the first .smi segment creates the OS 7.5.3 installer disk image on the desktop, which you drag onto the hard drive icon. This produces a folder with the OS 7.5.3 installer in it. I've done this before with an old Mac LC and it works. You can also download the 3-diskette OS 7.5.5 Update and run that. These downloads can be found on the same page where you found the OS 7.0.1 download: Older Software Downloads.

Index.php "Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-("

Hello Brian Woods, Dave Powers, and Other Experts.
I am new on the block as far as Wordpress and trying to run a testing server using XAMPP via Dreamweaver CS5. I carefully followed all the directions in your tutorials:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_testing_server.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt2.html
Brian, everything worked up until I reached the following step under the topic of: "Testing code hinting"
After I open the "index.php" file, I received the following error in Dreamweaver CS5:
"Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-("
Again, I carefully followed all the instructions and everything up until now works: the Theme loads up fine, XAMPP works, and I can view the control panel fine in Wordpress.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your support.

That's a new one on me, but I very much doubt that the error message was generated by Dreamweaver, because DW is designed to work with any testing server. It's not tied to using XAMPP. Sounds like some weirdness from XAMPP. I must say that XAMPP 1.7.4 seems to have a few bugs.

My mac says that i have version 11.7.2 and i know there is no 11.7.2 and i cant download certain things like xcode

I can't download xcode because it says that ihave the wrong version please help

No idea how you managed to do that
But to set your OS X version number back to what it should be:
1. Open up the 'Terminal' app from /Applications/Utilites/
2. Type: sudo pico /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist followed by the return key
3. You will be prompted for your password. Type this in, again followed by the return key (you will not see anything as you input it in to the Terminal)
4. Scroll down with your arrow keys to where it says 11.7.2 (under 'ProductUserVisibleVersion' key)
5. Change the string value of the key to: 10.7.2
6. Scroll down with your arrow keys again to the other place (just below) where it says 11.7.2
7. Change the string value of the key to: 10.7.2
8. Press 'Ctrl + x' on your keyboard
9. Press 'y'
10. Press the return key
11. Quit Terminal
12. Restart your machine
13. Voila! - hopefully this should resolve your problem!
To check, once your Mac has restarted, press the Apple (using your mouse) in the top left hand corner of your screen, then press 'About This Mac', and you should see it no longer states you're using Mac OS X Version 11.7.2, but Mac OS X Version 10.7.2
Next steps......
1. Run a software update......
2. Open the Mac App Store and attempt to install Xcode again
Hope this helps!

Some Yahoo pages do not load. Error msg says "oops something went wrong. Help

I have the latest version of Firefox. My isp uses Yahoo.com for it's home page. For the past few weeks, whenever I try to read a news or sports article, I get a message that says "oops, something went wrong". I tried reloading several times but no help. Same thing happens on another computer which has a different board and cpu. Both systems are Win XP Pro. This problem started before the windows cutoff date. Rebooting the machine doesn't help either. Any suggestions?
