Please help. Disk Utility Failure.

I just ran my disk utility function and received this error:
Disk Utility stopped verifying “Untitled 1” because the following error was encountered:
Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Does this mean that my hard drive is compromised? I've tried to run the first aid function several times and keep getting a failure message. Any and all help and input would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you get the Disk Utility message "Failure on exit", or the one's you received, it means there is an issue that Disk Utility can't fix. In many cases, either Disk Warrior or TechTools Pro can be used to fix it, with Disk Warrior being the more popular program. However, if Disk Warrior/TechTool Pro can't fix it, then you may be looking at a new hard drive (although you can erase the hard drive and try with a restore to keep using it). Curiously, a new drive may be less expensive than the repair software.
Smart Utility can give you a view of the SMART sensors to gain more information on the hardware health of your drive. Download with a trial license from http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php

My Disk Utility Is Gone After a Restore On My Mac.

My Disk Utility Is Gone After a Restore On My Mac.
How can i get it back?

First make sure it's really gone by looking in the Utilities folder. That folder opens when you press the key combination shift-command-U in the Finder. If it is gone, reinstall the OS.

OK. Sounds like you are simply below the top level of the Inbox menu. Look at the upper left of the mail box list. You should some text (what exactly will depend on where you are) precedded by an <. Tap on that until you return to the top of the list.
Also - Phil could very well be correct (hard to say with being able to see your screen).

Try a Reboot press & hold menu button & power button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. I never use PCs for software upgrades or downloads I always use wifi had no problems with iOS 8.1 B sydd

External Hard Drive not in finder, but in Disk Utility, info gone? recover?

My external hard drive shows up in disk utility, but not in finder. Usually, in disk utility, there will be visible the model/make of the hard drive (such as 232.8 GB MDT MD25...etc), and then below that, there be the actual name of the hard drive that I gave it (such as Jack's External Hard Drive). In disk utility, it only has the first one (the MDT... name) and not the other.
How do I fix this situation? Is my hard drive dead? I don't think it is dead because I can hear it spinning and it shows up partially in disk utility. Oh and by the way, it doesn't give me the option of repairing the disk.
Thanks

Alright, so I bought an external hard drive enclosure. The screeching noise is gone. Disk Utility sees the same "232.9 GB MDT MD25..." stuff, but now also "sees" "ROCK" which is the name I named the hard drive. But the lettering in "ROCK" is gray, not black. Also, its not showing up in finder. When I start up the computer with the ROCK hard drive on, finder says something like, "The disk you have connected was not readable by this computer." I try to verify disk in Disk Utility but it says "Disk Utility Stopped Verifying ROCK because the following error was encountered: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
So buying the enclosure, helped, but it seems the hard drive is damaged or the information is corrupt or something.
What is the problem I am having? (Is it not mounting or is the data bad or whats going on?)
Is there something I can do right now that can make this all better?
My last resort will be to try data recovering software (last resort because it costs around $100).
Thanks for all your help so far everyone.

Help! Disk Utility failed to restore my 750gb Mac HD

Here's the story. A couple weeks ago I successfully installed Windows 7 Home as a bootcamp partition using Disk Utility, not Bootcamp Assisstant, I clicked on my 750gb mac drive, clicked on partition, clicked the "+" symbol to split the HDD into a second partition, allocated 200gb for this Windows 7 partition remaining 550gb for Mac HD, made it into MS-Dos Format so I can format it into NTSF during the Windows installation; everything was working fine, I even was successfully running Parallels 7 with it.
So here's my problem, the other day I purchased Windows 7 Professional, decided I wanted to do a complete new installation so I went into my Mac OS X Lion and went into Disk Utility, deleted the Windows partition, then dragged the corner of my Mac HD putting it back to 750gb. Now my bootcamp partition of Windows 7 HD is deleted so I went ahead and hit the "+" to create a partition for Windows 7 Pro HD, it gave me a Failed Error message, so I went into my Mac OS HD and repaired Disk, even hit the set permissions button), those both didnt fix my problem of creating a partition.
So i go into bootcamp assistant and went through the process, i already have the mac drives, hit continue, then it showed me what i can allocate for Windows. It tells me I only have 345gb to allocate a Windows partition, but I should have 200gb ontop of that. My total HDD is 750gb and I only have 550gb available for me to use :(. How do I get the remaining 200gb i used from my old windows partiton I already deleted. By the way, I already allocated 750gb to my Mac HDD freeing up all the free space.
Can anyone help? I can send screenshots if needed.
Thank you!

Carbon Copy Cloner your Lion partition to a HFS+ Journaled formatted external powered drive, "hold option boot" from it, check it out and then use Disk Utility there to erase the entire drive and reformat, reverse clone.
You'll loose the Lion Recovery Partition, but you got clones on external drives.
You have to reformat the whole drive, as the GUID partition map is off and needs to be updated correctly.
Also you can download the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant in advance and/or create "hold c" Lion boot DVD's from the MacAppStore Lion installer by holding option key and clicking on Purchases and downloading the Lion installer again and following these instructions.
http://eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
Also just in case you need it as you can always boot your Snow Leopard disk and install then upgrade to Lion on a blank drive without a Lion Recovery Partition.
http://www.walterjessen.com/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-leopard-install-disc/
Once you got Lion up, then Bootcamp the Windows 7 Pro.
You can try WinClone to clone Windows, I don't know how well it will work with Lion, it hasn't been updated recently, your best bet would be to fresh install.

NEED HELP! Disk Utility mixed up HD and erased 2TB of data!

I just encountered a disaster thanks to disk utility and am asking for your help. PLEASEEEEEEE
Details: MacBook Pro using Lion OSX
Here is the short story. Like any semi-computer nerd, I have a lot of external harddrives for all my work. One was having issues and showed symptoms of a break down. So I backed-up everything on the drive and tried to reformat it. Half-way through, disk utility seemed to get stuck or something. The bar did not progress, and the estimated time to complete continued to go up. After about two hours, I needed to grab some files off another harddrive. No big deal. I left the harddrive being reformatted still plugged in, so the process would continue undisturbed. In the second USB port, I plugged in an expansion port with 2 other external harddrives connected to it. ...Within seconds, literally seconds, diskutility erased one of the new harddrives and renamed it. I'm not kidding. It happened so fast, I couldn't stop it. It worked faster then I've ever seen DiskUtility erase a drive…10…20 seconds max. I lost 2 terrabits of files. Information, files and personal documents that cannot be replaced. This is a huge disaster!
Is there anyway to fix this? Is the restore image feature in disk utility bring back files? Worst of all, there is no reasonable argument for why disk utility mixed it up. I never unplugged the drive it was reformating. I never touched the program or clicked anything. And how did it mix them up? You have to select the drive explicitly that you want to erase. One was a Western Digital HD and the other aSeagate, both with different names, models and serial numbers. Computers don't simply mix up drives. It's coded. Second, how could it erase the drive so fast? It never even mounted. By the time the new drive appeared, it was already erased and renamed.
This is huge. I cannot replace these files. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello HB3, and a warm welcome to the forums!
8) Attempted to restart with literature saying that you can restart Disk Utility as though it would delete temp files and start again. System could not be found (folder/face/folder/face showed on the screen)
You really shouldn't use a lower OSes DU to work on a higher one.
2) Used Disk Warrior to rebuild directory on disk, but I believe that there is NO space at all. Disk Warrior took a very long time...more than an hour.
What version of DW?
Anyone know of a utility that can help?
If DiskWarrior can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or FileSalvage...
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?%20mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover what you can, both can work when Disks are unmountable.

Help with Disk Utility

I have a removable usb flash drive that I've been using for a while. Occasionally I need to erase it with disk utility to remove all of the past information it has held. This time around though the drive doesn't seem to be created (I'm not sure if I'm saying that the right way or not).
I've included a photo here:
http://northeasternxposure.com/help/drive.png
Normally there is the "983.0 MB VBTM . . ." drive with the "UNTITLED" one below it. As you can see the "UNTITLED" drive doesn't look like a drive, but has the icon of a document. And at the bottom it shows the capacity, yet none of it is available. This is why it won't mount. I've tried to redo it multiple times with no luck. Hopefully someone knows a setting or something that I should change to repair this problem.

I went into Finder and it could still see the drive, yet not access it for some reason. So what I did was log out and then back in and everything was working fine again. I've got no idea why that problem had occurred, but thanks for the quick responses.
And I always do remember to mark helpful and solved. Thanks!

Help with Disk Utility and disk repair

I just ran disk utility to verify my hard drive and the report says this:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume The volume sh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
After saying that HFS volume needs repair, it won't let me repair the disk. That button is grayed out in disk utility. If I boot the computer from my OSX install cd and repair it that way, will it erase all of my data on my hard drive? Any ideas?
20" iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 60 GB iPod Video

To repair a startup volume you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Logic pro 9 quits on startup. How can this be resolved please? Checked disk utility and all seems to be ok...

Hi
I've tried top open logic pro 9 today which I use daily and have been for the last 4 years. All software etc. is up to date. However it just quits and I get the 'logic pro quit unexpectedly' message. I've tried this several times in the last hour, including a restart and checking disk utility etc. Anyone else have the same problem? And if so, how did you resolve it please?

Failing that....
Please download Etrecheck from here...

Now run Etrecheck and post up the full report here....

* Help! Disk Utility is Telling Me...

"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 Mac OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility."
Does this mean that I will lose all data on my HD?
How should I go about backing up my HD?
Thanks in advance!
BTW, running OS 10.7.3

Hold Command and r keys and boot into Lion Recovery and use Disk Utility to repair the drive, if it's fixed then no problem.
If Disk Utility can't fix the drive, there are ways to get the data off as long as the drive is operational.
Easiest is to boot directly and transfer User files manually to a storage drive as quickly as possible,
 Most commonly used backup methods explained
but if OS X isn't booting, you can employ these Data Recovery steps
another Mac via Firewire Target Disk Mode, OS X installed on a external drive, etc. etc.
 Data recovery efforts explained
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
Right from Lion Recovery you can Zero Erase and format a external powered blank hard drive GUID, OS X Extended
then install Lion on it from Apple's servers, reboot holding the option key down and choose the external to boot from
then setup with the same name and access your internal drive to recover files.
If that fails, there is always DataRescue $99 to read the 1's and 0's of any files on the drive (no filevault of course)

Disk utility is gone!

So I went to use disk utility recently and realized that it was no longer there. I started looking through the web for ways to get it back and found all the threads about the disk utility problems for people with mac osx 10.3.9, which i do, when upgrading to the latest itunes. The only problem is, the only problem people seemed to mention was that disk utility wouldn't work properly, I couldn't find any accounts of people losing disk utility completely, nor what one should do in such a case. I searched my hard drive, its just not there to be found. I tried running the powerbook software dvd to no effect, and I tried downloading and installing the upgrade for 10.3.9 again from this site, which seems to have only replaced an incomplete, non-functional portion of the program. There were no downloads for disk utility by itself that I could find on this site. What I need to know is, does anyone know of a way to get back disk utility without reformatting?

There has to be. I checked my 10.3.2 Install disk and it is there. Did anyone follow the "Close the Welcome to Mac OS X window part? You see, when you insert the CD, a Finder Window, titled "Welcome to Mac OS X" appears. You may think so, but this folder is not the root directory of the CD. To get to the root directory, close the Welcome to Mac OS X Finder window that comes up when you insert the CD and doucle-click on the CD icon. It then takes you to the root directory. Now the window will be titled "Mac OS X Install Disk 1" In there, there will be these folders and files:
- Welcome to Mac OS X (See, this screen that comes up is a folder)
- --->Applications<----
- bin
- dev
- etc
- Library
- mach
- mach_kernel
- private
- sbin
- System
- tmp
- usr
- var
- Volumes
In there go to the Applications folder. In the Applications folder, go to the Utilities folder. In there, there will be a Disk Utility application. If all this is too hard, simply search the Install Disk for a folder called Utilities (Go to the "Find" window, Select Specific places for the Search In Property, Check the box next to Mac OS X Install Disk 1---Name is: Utilities). Search for that and it will return with 2 results, then one you are looking for is the 2nd one (The parent directory is Applications).
If this is too hard to follow, you are hopeless.

Please help! My screen has gone blank, and more problems!

Hi, I hope someone can help!
1) Yesterday, I was listening to my ipod and changing the songs, when it suddenly the songs began changing on shuffle every second mid-song!
2) Eventually it stopped, but then it really slowed down and would take about 5 seconds to react to me pressing the buttons or changing a song!
3) Then today, after I had finished using it whilst running, the screen went completely blank, but the music was still working fine. The screen is now still blank, unless I tip it vertically and then I can just about make out an extremely faded outline of the wrting and page format. Also there now appears to be a white smudge/mark on one side of the screen!
What is happening to my ipod and what can I do about these problems? I have had my ipod for only a couple of months!
I would be very grateful of anyone could help!
Thank you,
