Please help! Disk errors cant be repaired. OSX WONT START!

Hi.
I put in the tiger osx install disc so that i could open disk utiliy and repair my macintosh HD which had errors. It now wont let me repair it and wont start up from macintosh HD. I can only start from disk. I have restored from the install disc to the macintosh HD and had no luck. I have files such as documents and applications on the HD.
What i see when i verify disk is:
error - the underlying task reported failure on exit
Invalid catalog record type
Volume checked fail
HFS Volume Checked
Volume needs repair
When i verify it says that volume cant be repaired.
If anyone has any help please let me know and i will reward points.
Thanks, Ben

disc warrior has been great. I have had to use the computer in firewire disk mode and use my laptop to do all the maintenance on for my desktop. It has rebuilt everything and it all seems fine. The desktop still doesnt start up and i think its because its looking for a disc in the drive which i took out when i thought i didnt need it any more. I need to somehow tell it that i want the startup disc to be macintosh HD not the cd. is there any way of doing this.
Thanks again and i will mark as solved.
Thanks, Ben

    After searching, found a few answers and tried one last thing-- allowing Safari to accept Cookies. I never use Safari so never changed any settings in it ever. However, I guess an update along the way turned off cookies in it and that was the blockage. Once I allowed Safari to use cookies I was able to redeem the gift card. SO, glad this board is here for these types of questions!!!!

  • HT3606 please help me to upgrade my mac osx 10.5.8 to mountain lion

    please help me to upgrade my mac osx 10.5.8 to mountain lion. i am not able to do it.becoz i am not having app store.

    Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
    Minimum specs for Snow Leopard.  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -                 Read the Technical Specifications
    Note.  You can no longer buy Snow Leopard from an Apple retail store, only as follows. 
    If you are in North America ... Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for the individual use version.
    In Europe or otherwise … call your National Apple Helpline … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Once you have bought and upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard.          Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    For Mountain Lion the minimum specs are … technical specifications.
    But if your computer meets those specs you can upgrade to Mountain Lion without any intermediate steps.

  • Please Help - "page error" / a system error occurred

    I am very basic with Coldfusion Developed websites and pretty awesome on HTML and PHP. While working on a website I made an HTML change and added a line to a page. All works well on the test website/server but after uploading the changed page the page went offline/errored a day later.
    I have an error receipt and am hoping to resolve this issue with some insight from a good Coldfusion Developer or Programmer.
    PLEASE HELP, see error below.
    A system error occurred: http://www.mix.co.zm/mix_schools.cfm?
    Error - struct
    Detail    Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc. <br> Using relative paths (for example, template="index.cfm" or template="../index.cfm") does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.

    Boot your computer using the install disk (hold the C button while turning on the computer, with the install disk inside). Open Disk Utility and repair the disk and disk permissions.

  • Please help! Error -48 can't sync, tried everything!!

    Hi
    as above really, I have had my ipod 20gb clickwheel nearly 4 years and no problems, all of a sudden itunes has come up with this error message. I cannot take off or put songs onto the ipod, or move them around in playlists etc, but when not connected to my pc the ipod itself works fine.
    Please help, I have tried most things such as unistalling itunes, error-checking the disk in my computer etc.
    Has anyone got any other suggestions? I don't really want to restore the ipod as some of my music is not backed up, I manage it manually it that helps??

    Use this microsoft installer cleanup tool to get reid of itunes, then quicktime.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Then try a fresh iTunes install.

  • Please help app error 523

    ive got a bb pearl 9105 and everytime i turn it on its come up with error messages then comes up with a white screen that says error 523. i cant plug it into my comp as the charge port is broken and cant get rid of the error messages to activate the bluetooth.
    anyone could any ideas?? ive tried reseting it, taking battery, sim,memory card out and nothings doing the trick...please help...

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB24395 "Error 523", "App Error 523", or "JVM 523" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
    Unfortunately, the actual remedy may well require connection to your computer...but with the port broken, that won't be possible. So you won't be able to fix this without seeking formal hardware-level support.
    If you remain in warranty, you should seek out support via that channel. If you have no warranty, then you would seek out a local (to you) shop with qualified BB hardware technicians who can give you a proper diagnosis and estimate.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    I convert all audio to .aiff 48kHz or from Audio-CD 44.1kHz (still .aiff)
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

  • Please Help! ERROR: Application Server failed. when Refreshing

    Please help on this below issue. Thanks.
    We have a requirement that using ASP.NET (C#), we need to open saved .rpt file (saved with data and the rpt file is assigned to the web page as query string) and let the users refresh themselves with latest data by clicking at refresh icon of the CrystalReportViewer. But it throws 'The Report Application Server failed' error message. What could cause this message. below is the piece of code we are using to configure the report.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
    string reportPath = Server.MapPath("Reports
    SEMS0001_UBS.rpt");
    this.CrystalReportSource2.ReportDocument.Load(reportPath);
    CrystalReportViewer1.Visible = false;
    SetDBLogonForReport(this.CrystalReportSource2.ReportDocument);
    int i = 0;
    foreach (ParameterField field in this.CrystalReportSource2.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
    field.HasCurrentValue = true;
    //this.CrystalReportSource2.ReportDocument.Refresh();
    CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = this.CrystalReportSource2.ReportDocument.ParameterFields;
    CrystalReportViewer1.Visible = true;
    public void SetDBLogonForReport(ReportDocument reportDocument)
    Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
    connectionInfo.ServerName = "server"; //ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBServer"];
    connectionInfo.UserID = "user"; //ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBUser"];
    connectionInfo.Password = "passwd"; //XsiteWinRpt.ConnUtil.GetOnlyPasswordOfConnString(); //ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBPassword"];
    //foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.IConnectionInfo connection in reportDocument.DataSourceConnections)
    // connection.SetConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBServer"], "", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBUser"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBPassword"]);
    // connection.SetLogon(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBUser"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DBPassword"]);
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
    TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
    tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    //reportDocument.Database.Tables[0].ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);

    Attaching full code ... Our case is the RPT files are stored wih default parameters and saved data. We need to let users just refresh the rpt files with latest db data and overwrite with the same rpt files. But this code keep showing The application server failed mesg. when the refresh icon of viewer is clicked.
    Attaching the code as it is not properly attached in my previous reply ...
