Pm-utils and suspend2

Is the suspend2 kernel necessary for pm-utils to work? If not, can anyone offer any insight as to why the hibernate and sleep scripts just blank the screen and then do nothing? (computer is unresponsive)

I've got some problems of my own, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I've got a suspend2 kernel (even though I guess it isn't necessary), acpi, acpid, cpufreq/cpufreqd, pm-utils and laptop-mode installed, and I get a blank, unresponsive screen when I try to run pm-hibernate. Here is my log:
[root@styx alex]# cat /var/log/pm-suspend.log

Indeed, there is no "disk" file in /sys/power/, which is clearly a problem. What should I do?

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

I have all of my iTunes music on an external hard drive (Glyph 3TB), all of a sudden iTunes will not play any of my music. i ran disk utility and i'm good. What else can i do??

Greetings,
I have a macbook pro purchased in 2009. I run the current Yosemite OS X on it, and have over 12, 000 iTunes music tunes stored on an external hard drive (Glyph 3TB). Recently iTunes does not load up on my computer. I've ran disk utility and repair, etc and it says everything is fine, however i can't seem to get iTunes to come up and play music. My questions:
what can i do to fix this?? Is my macbook pro too old that i need to seriously consider purchasing a new one?? If i purchase a new macbook pro, can i hook up the Glyph 3TB to the new one and have it play my music without problems/?
Thanks,

What is Airport Utility and why do I need to access Airport witeless devices in order to backup my iMac using Time Machine...HELP!!! PLEASE??

AirPort Utility is required to configure an Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
Time Machine can use a Time Capsule or a locally connected volume. You only need to use AirPort Utility if you are using a Time Capsule.

I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

HP Utility and Scanning issues with Officejet Pro 6830

I purchased a 6830 several weeks ago and have been using it for general wireless printing from my Mac for serveral weeks with no problems. Today I wanted to try scanning, and for the first time brought up the "HP Utility" and noticed that it connects to the printer, but lists the supplies as "Cartidge is missing" for all the cartridges. However, when I go to the front panel of printer and select the "ink" icon, it show that I have all cartridges installed with almost full ink. I perform a "test print" from the printer queue and it prints it fine.
I removed the driver and reinstalled, and got the same results (evern with multiple reboots, and printer power resets)
In addition, when I try to do a ether a scan to computer from the printer, or from the HP Scan utility I get a failure. From the scan utility. Using scan to computer, I select my Mac and the process starts (and a little window pops up on my Mac for a few seconds), but eventually the printer gives a message that it lost contact with the computer.
Yes the "Enable Scan to Computer" box is checked, and there is a green "Scan to Computer Enabled" indicator in the HP Utility window.
I've followed various appropriate trouble shooting guides but nothing appears to work.
Also checked if the Printer Firmware was up to date and it was.
When I connect using the Webinterface to the printer, the productinformation->printer information page show that the cartidges are installed, and "ink guage" has appropriate levels.
Also, webscan does not appear to work, although it pops up an empty pdf page, and I can hear the printer doing something (although not feeding the pages)

Hi,
First of all open System Preferences and select Sharing.
Ensure the computer name doe snot include any Non-English or special characters, click on Edit and change it if necesary.
Next clcik the Apple icon and then About This Mac.
Clcik on Software Update and then clcik the top Store Menu.
Select Reload This Page and install any listed HP or Apple Updte if a such exists.
If thwe same persists a such may also happen due to network issues...
What exact error appears while launching a scan from the HP Scan application or from Image Capture?
A such may allow to better understand any possible cause.
As well try enabling wireless direct on your printer and connect the Mac to the printer:
Click the Wireless Direct icon () and turn it on, take a note of its passcode.
From your Mac click the WiFi icon and select the printer's network
Note: if a such is not listed click on Join Other Network and then Show Networks, then it should be listed.
Allow it a moment to connect and try scanning from your Mac, as well try checking the ink levels now.
If those are working as expected, the issue may rely on your home network.
Please clarify your router brand and model, I will do my best to guide you further.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.
http://pondini.org/TM/17.html
But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

Time Machine, Disk Utility, and clearing out corrupted snapshots

Hi, all. I've been having some troubling issues with Time Machine and could use your collective insight.
I have a 500GiB external USB2 disk that I've been using for Time Machine since December (the oldest snapshot in Backups.backupdb is named 2007-12-13-222250). Everything worked fine until sometime in late January, when Time Machine decided to ax 2/3 of my Applications directory. Time Machine's logging is terse, so I wasn't able to determine what caused the corruption. The fact that this error wasn't caught and flagged by Time Machine bothers me.
Especially because I discovered this in the process of needing to recover from a crash on my laptop's hard drive -- I had to roll back to a previous, complete snapshot to get all my applications back.
After that I had to engage in some jiggery-pokery to get Time Machine to re-snapshot everything, but things proceeded normally until I received my new copy of DiskWarrior 4.1 last night (although DiskWarrior is an innocent bystander here). I tried to use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory on the Time Machine disk, but it failed before trying to write anything.
(For those who care: after some back and forth with Alsoft tech support, we determined this was likely because my Time Machine volume has 6.2GB of catalog data, and DiskWarrior works by rebuilding the directory in memory, so it has to be able to fit the whole catalog into virtual memory.)
I was a little paranoid that something might be wrong with the disk after that, so I fired up Disk Utility and told it to repair the disk. It churned for about 6 hours and repaired an extraordinarily large number of hardlink reference count errors, but completed by claiming that the disk had been repaired.
When I next told Time Machine to run, instead of copying over a couple GB of data like it usually does, it started copying 38GB! ***? I took a look at the previous Time Machine snapshots, and discovered that Disk Utility had totally corrupted every snapshot I'd made since last month's fandango. Most of the root-level directories in the snapshots now look like this:

That is clearly, completely wrong, and it alarms me that Disk Utility could cause so much damage to a Time Machine volume.
Since I also use SuperDuper! to regularly clone this disk, it's not as big a nightmare as it could be, but this means that I'm going to have to clear out every snapshot for the last month by hand, both because I obviously can't trust them anymore, and because I keep getting messages like this in the logs:

I'd like to keep the old snapshots if I can. What's likely to happen if I just go and clear out the b0rked backup sessions by hand?
(Hmm... it appears yes, because I just deleted them all and the disk didn't recover the freed space.)
Here's the important question: has anyone else had issues using Disk Utility on a Time Machine volume, and does anyone at Apple have any plans to add integrity checking to Time Machine? As it stands, I don't really feel like I can trust it in its present form, as convenient as it is...

I have trouble with disk utility on my new (1 TB Lacie) as well as on my old (500 GB WD) drive. After doing a backup, du tells me a never ending list of errors like
HasFolderCount flag needs to be set (id = 599567)
(it should be 0x10 instead of 0)
Everything was O.K. before doing the backup; so is the disk to be backupped, according to du.
Up to now, no other problem occurred, but I´d like to clear this issue before my trust in time machine is restored.

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

I did disk utility, and verify disk and it asks to repair the disk using dvd installer...but when i insert the dvd- restart- hold c, it keep ejecting and can't read the dvd....i tried with my friends dvd too, but still fail...mac osx v10.6.7

someone pls help me

Well there is Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck witch includes step by step instructions to run disk repair without the install disk.
But before doing that, it's a good idea to backup. You may want to troubleshooting your superdrive / disk before hand. if I disk repair fails you may need the disk working to re-install the OS.
Dose the computer read any DVDs? if no, you may want to use Troubleshooting the slot load optical disc drive.

Disk Utility and Disk Repair function

I ran the "Verify" function on the hard drive and came up with an Error, but can't figure out what to do next. The option of "Disk Repair" is grey. I found an older discussion about the specific error message - "Incorrect size for file YellowPushBtn_Pressed.tiff (It should be 0 instead of 5602)" This older discussion lead to the QuickTime application, but I was unable to local the file they talked about.
Any ideas on how I should proceed from here?
Thanks

Disk Utility won't repair the drive if that drive is the one from which the computer is currently booted. The usual thing to do is boot from the installer disc. I don't know about the shift key; I thought it was holding down the C key to boot from an optical disc.
What holding down the shift key does is boot you to safe mode which reduces the number of things running to a minimum. I have found that while you can verify a boot drive you can get errors and an analysis from safe mode reduces this likelihood.
*General Instructions*
Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then 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."
