Hi,
The short Disk Self Test error would indicate a problem with the Hard Drive - is your G7 still under warranty? You can check your warranty status Here.

My mac won't boot up it goes to a apple sign then the spin thing then gives me a error msg on a 10.5.8 imac what do I do?

Hi LIsa,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Or..
Tough without the Install Disk problems, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

Web-Disk on OSX 10.9 Give me this error: "Finder got an error: Network file permission error."

Previously I was using OSX 10.8 and Web Disk was working great.
Since I upgraded to OSX 10.9 Web Disk Dont Attach to my compputer and give me this ERROR:
FInder got an error: Network file permission error.
When I got this ERROR first time I searched GOOGLE and found this link: http://cammodude.blogspot.no/
And I did:
To force all connections to be SMB1:
Open A terminal window
paste in the following line followed by the return key(should be all on one line):
echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
What the command does:
Creates a file called nsmb.conf in your home directory at the path ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf.
Adds directives to force SMB connections to use the SMB1 protocol. This is slower but stable.
Then I could use Web Disk on OSX 10.9 after executing this command in Terminal.
But now I restarted my Macbook and now Im NOT able to connect to Web Disk and get the same ERROR.
FInder got an error: Network file permission error
After trying 100 times it attaches 1 time but then show this ERROR:
Can't get <<class cdis>> "my.server.com/2078" of application "Finder".
If this happen then I can see the files in Finder and see the Contents and Size of files but if I open a PHP file in BBEdit then it shows BLANK.. But actually it is NOT blank.
Now Im stuck How can I solve this? All help is highly appericated..
Thank you so much...

Hi,
Make sure to chmod the app, something like this :
chmod -Rf 777 secure_site_WebDisk.app
(in my case the CPanel provided the app for my OSx version.)

My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

Invalid sibling link may not be fixable by Disk Utility. (Disk Utility is very conservative, and will not attempt repairs that might cause you to lose data.)
It is an indication of serious Directory damage.
that leaves
a) third-party Utilities that will take those risks, or
b) re-initializing the drive (which deletes all your data) and restoring from another backup source.
c) "Copying off whatever files you can salvage" has gone by, and you cannot copy anything off a drive that will not mount. You may be able to use "rescue" programs such as prosoft engineering Data Rescue to copy files to another drive, but that sounds a lot better than its reality. You may get many files, but not get ANY filenames.

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

the notebook is about 6 months old, so it's still under waranty.
what can i do to fix this problem?

Hi,
Failure of the Short Disk Self Test would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced.
As your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

N500 notebook disk read error ocured

Lenovo 3000 N500 note book,windows vista.After many lenovo rescue and recovery system failed attempts to fix some problem,i followed the lenovo rescue and recovery procedure to factory defaults.When system restarted,a disk read error occurred message appeared and the note book did not boot at all times.pls advise!!!

mits, welcome to the forum,
in a similar situation I would download and create a bootable cd of Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test, found here, and then run it on the system to see if it reports errors on the hard drive. Even if you don't have an Hitachi drive it will tell you whether or not it is healthy.
Hope this helps

Failure id 90DX6C-56S5S1-9XL03f-60S403 - A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

Model: HP G62 Notebook PC
System ID: 1439
Product ID: WR444EA¤UUW
Warranty Start Date: 08/06/2010
Processor Type: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6000 @ 1.87 GHz
Processor Speed: 1870 MHZ
Memory Size: 4096 MB RAM
BIOS Date: 06/28/2010
BIOS Revision: F.0B
Serial Number {Removed for privacy}
Keyboard Controller Revision: 60.22
OS: Windows 7 - don't remember if 64 or 32 tbh (it's my GFs laptop)
Error:
Suddenly today, about 9 hours ago, the laptop froze while surfing normally on the net.. After a reset - done as followed: holding power button till computer shuts down, and power on again - the computer wouldn't start windows again, and only gives the message:
A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
And will repeat the message after booting up with HP logo, and not enter Windows, time and time again if you press C+A+D
I've tried recovery system, but that didn't work, and I'ved tried CHKDSK and it found and said it repaired some errors but it still happens.
I then ran the start-up-test and in the end I got Failure ID 90DX6C-56S5S1-9XL03f-60S403 on Hard Disk 1.
I tried to Google it, and no results.
No recent system updates or anything new installed in a few weeks.

Hi,
It would look like the Hard Drive is failing/failed, but try running the following test from the bios menu as it can provide a more meaningful error code.
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run a test on the Hard Drive. Post back with the details of any error messages.

HP Elitebook 8560w Won't Boot UP -- Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart

Hello. I have an Elitebook 8560w, that won't boot up. The screen says "Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart". The screen isn't all black...there are some random colored square pixels with a random flashing !, but it's mostly black.
I've run the diagnostics and the F4 Hard Disk Test has passed everytime I've run it. I can hear the hard drive running, so mechanically it's okay (not sure on the logic side).
The F3 Run-in Test fails under the Memory Test, it reads "Run-in test failed - Failed Memory Address 0x76B99000 Pattern expected - 0XFEFFFF Pattern Read - OxFFFFFF
I tried a new 4GB DDDR RAM (removed the old one), and it hasn't helped. I should add before I changed RAM, it failed memory test and said "Disk Not Found".
That made me think it was the hard drive, but the hard drive test has always passed.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm lost. I have a new drive and ram coming from HP, but hoping I can salvage info on HDD.
Also...the computer was set up with Windows 7 as new, but my company reimages everyone's computer and installs XP. So I'm not sure running the HP CD (assuming I can find it) would even help.

Disk read failure and disk not found are classic signs of a hard drive failure. The memory failed the test, so it looks like this had two issues at once.
The good news is that the right parts are on their way. If you want to save your data, do not use the recovery disks for the system. They will wipe the hard drive if it is still functional for them.
With regards to retrieving your data, have you talked to the IT team yet? Most IT departments have a process for data retrieval on company equipment.
If they do not have a process setup to do that, then you could try getting a notebook hard drive external enclosure. They usually run fairly cheap for a basic enclosure and that is enough to connect the hard drive externally to a different computer using a USB cable to copy data from it. This would work provided they do not encrypt the hard drive. If they do encrypt it, contact the IT team for their process as encryption limits the methods that are available.

Satellite L770D-10J doesnt boot - Disk Read Error

Hello,
My Laptop can't boot and it gives me the error Message:
An Disk read error as occured, press ctrl+ alt + del.
I did it a couple times and i tried to fix that problem because i have no Win7 DVD to boot from, i tried to reset the BIOS to its standart options, and now it wants a Passwort from me.
I didnt even enter one so i wont know it.
After 3 tries the System shuts down and i have to re-start my Computer.
Now i have an extern harddrive but i cant try to boot from it because my Laptop wants that Passwort.
To enter BIOS or Menue i also need this passwort.
I really need help, if you know anything please contact me with "TOSHIBA LAPTOP SUPPORT". My garantee ran out already.
Sorry for that bad english, its not my native language.
Thank you for helping me.

I guess you are talking about the BIOS password.
This BIOS password can be deleted by authorized service provider available in your country.
I have no idea why an BIOS password appears if you did not set it in the past, but fact is that unknown password cannot be deleted by common notebook user. The BIOS password is an very important security feature and only authorized persons are able to delete it.
Here also the information from Toshiba:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ35002I000IR01.htm
Regarding the disk read error:
Im not quite sure what disk do you mean exactly but in case the installed system cannot boot up, I think that HDD is faulty and needs to be replaced. After such replacement you would need to install the system again. The easiest way to install the system is the usage of Toshiba recovery disk because all Toshiba tools and drivers would be installed together with the Windows system.

My quicklook is broken and gives me an error!

Hi there!
So over the past few days the quickload feature in finder has stopped working for me. When ever I highlight a file and hit the spacebar quicklook loads but not as usual. In the case of trying to load an MP3, no music plays and only a small image of it appears. The same goes for all images and every other type of viewable application. Check out the example of it below to see. It also gives me the error: "An error occured with the preview of this document."
Before I posted this I tried to resolve it with good old google, I found numerous articles telling me to delete the quickload preference files in the preferences folder of User/System/Library/Preferences. I have deleted those, but still nothing has worked. I have also repaired my disk permissions several times, the only thing is I have replaced my CD drive with an SSD and everything is running out that drive, I just keep regular files on the HD. So PLEASE, I would really like some help because I deal with quicklook tons and can't go on without it. Thank you guys!

Sorry to bump but I would really love some help! I've exhausted all resources that I can find!
