The volume MacBook Pro HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
I verified disk permissions, Repaired disk permissions and then verified disk.......
Should I be worried?
Thanks for any help!

Lot's of problems there.  Hope DU can fix them.  You don't want to continue using that drive in the state it is in now.  Nothing wrong physically with the drive (I believe).  Just what's on it.
You cannot repair the disk you are booted from, only verify it.  That's why repair was grayed out and that why its telling you to boot from another bootable disk.  If you don't have one then boot from your installer dvd which has a copy of DU on it.  Then try to repair your boot disk and hope it's successful.
If it isn't successful, then you may have to try to use Disk Warrior (which has it's fans and detractors as to how "good" it is).
Of course if you have a backup you could just erase the drive and recreate from your backup.  This is one of the reasons to always have backups.  Alternatively if you do have a backup, then you could boot from it as I mentioned above to run DU from there (hold down option key hear the boot beep to be able to select a bootable drive).

  • HT203176 i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities and said I need to repair disk from a cd. did that, I got volume repaired from the external disk. when I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair

    i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities (from hard drive), turned out I needed to repair disk from a installation disk. Did that, I got the volume (Hard drive) repaired from the installation disk disk. To this point, great!
    When I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair. I went thru two rounds of this.....
    Can anyone help? thanks

    Sorry guys, I don't see how to reply to you so I use reply to "me" basically.
    So the error I get is "volume header needs minor repair" and then you need to perform repair from the installation disk message.
    I did repair not verify from the disk twice. Every time ending in the "the volume had ha been successfully repaired". Then I reboot from the internal disk. Run disk utilities from it, do verify and get the same error message I got before repair. I hope this can shed some light fr you guys. Sorry I didn't include details in the original

    My bad Eric. The startup preference recognizes the primary as a 10.8.3 startup volume but when u select it the system does not boot. I can only boot from my external backup drive

    I have an iMac mid 2010. After Disk utilities said the drive was corrupt, I ran the hardware test (extended) 3 times. No problems. I than ran Disk utility again and got 2 messages in red…keys out of order, and ……Volume corrupt, can't be repaired.
    I tried to do a system install, but message said…disk can't be changed. Will a complete erase and install fix this ?
    Everything is backed-up.

    There's hardware and software.
    Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes).  The directory that keep track of files is corrupt.  Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue.  In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that.  You have to boot from another drive.  Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
    A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case.  Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
    In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption.  You can try erasing (formatting) the drive,  You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues.  I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation).  This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data.  If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format.  Then you know you need a new drive.

  • How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

    How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed but it still kept getting stuck on the apple loading screen.

    You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
    That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
    Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
    on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
    start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
    An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
    Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
    a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
    could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
    get a new hard drive installed inside.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Yesterday I ran Disk Utility and came up with hundreds of permissions that needed repair.  I hit the "repair permissions" button and waited until it said they were repaired, but just for fun I hit the "verify permissions" button again, and they all came back!  I did this several more times and every time I would hit "verify permissions" I would get the same list.  What's up?  I've always suspected diagnostic programs, but this is Apple's own!

    Ignore them. They aren't errors. You will keep seeing the same ones. As long as you get the message "Permissions repair complete," you're OK.

  • How can I reformat my hard drive if erase and partition don't work in disk utility and I get an error when I try to erase and install from the Leopard install disk?  I have had several kernel panics, but the volume shows up in startup disk.

    I have had several kernel panics on my iBook G4; the panic message shows up just after the desktop appears. Although the startup volume shows up in Startup Disk, the installation disk reports an error when I attempt an erase and install. Disk utility is unable either to erase or partition the hard drive. The hard drive shows up in disk utility, but the startup volume doesn’t  HELP!!!

    Do you have the original system discs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Erasing the disc and installing Mac OS X 10.5 will result in loss of the other applications (such as the iLife applications) which came pre-installed on the iBook.

  • Why did I receive an error message when I ran Disk Utility?

    When I installed OS X Mountain Lion, then ran Disk Utility, it responded with the message "Warning SUID file 'System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.spp/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent' has been modified and will not be repaired."

    And that message is exactly? I hope you are aware that you are trying to install software from the stoneage and it may simply no longer be compatible...

  • MBP Freezes (have erased and installed, ran disk utility, and inc fan speed

    Hi Guys, Any advice on this issue would be very much appreciated please.
    Have had an original mbp for about 2 and a half years. Last few weeks it's been freezing between 1 and 5 times a day. By freezing I mean that the screen freezes and there's no cursor or keyboard fuctionality. Sound stops too. This happens using World of Warcraft, Pages, Office for Mac, and Safari, sometimes also the finder. Main culprit though is Safari and WoW. For comedy value, I'm a priest in WoW and it froze during a raid which resulted in the whole group wiping out! Great timing! lol
    So far I have:
    Ran disk utility, repaired permissions and verified disk.
    Did a complete erase and install.
    Downloaded Fan Control and set to 3400 base speed, left fan @ 3503 RPM and Right fan @ 3508 RPM - temp reads 46.9 oC (118 oF)
    I'm guessing that since my erase and install, that it is very much a hardware issue as the problem has happened again.
    Since I've done the fan thing, nothing has frozen so far but I only did it about an hour ago.
    If anyone could offer any other suggestions in case it does freeze again I'd be very grateful indeed :0)
    Oh - one thing I don't get is that only about 4 hours after my erase and install I did the disk utility once more (Repair permissions and verify) and it came up with the below list - which is huge given it was a fresh install. Not sure if the below info will help (not really sure what it's for tbh - but there it is.
    Many thanks,
    Vizzy

    According to Mactracker, your Mac could recognize 3 GB of RAM:
    http://www.mactracker.ca/
    One thing to check is your RAM usage while playing WOW. I am not a gamer, so I don't know if you can play with your Dock visible, but if you can, here is an easy way to keep track of your RAM usage.
    Go to Activity Monitor (in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder) and put it in the Dock. Then while in Activity Monitor, go to View (in the menu bar)>Dock Icon and select "Show Memory Usage".
    You want to see a lot of green in the pie chart. If you don't, you are running out of RAM and then the computer turns to your hard drive to fulfill the functions of RAM. This process is much slower, and I could see it resulting in freezes. If you find that the green virtually disappears while gaming, you could well benefit from upping the RAM by another 1 GB to 3 GB total.
    Good luck!

  • Drive visible in Disk Utility but not Finder.  Why?

    I have a PowerMac G4 (mirrored drive doors) with 4 hard drives installed. 3 of the drives are set-up in a striped RAID array and the other one is my boot drive with two partitions. One one partition, I have OS X 10.3 and I can see the RAID drive fine. On the other partition, I fresh installed 10.4 but the drive does not appear on the desktop. Strangly, I can see the drive in Disk Utility and it shows me the mount point. I can even unmount and remount it but it still does not show up in the Finder. I had 10.4 server installed prior to the fresh 10.4 (not server) install and that showed it fine. I tried to see the drive in Terminal but also does not appear. Why does my drive appear in Disk Utility but not the Finder?

    :-/ Yes, I got the command in completely with the path to the drive like it states in the other post. I have no idea why it didn't recognize the command as I'm not as familiar with UNIX/Linux commands as I'd like to be.
    Anyways... I found the cause of the problem (incase it happens to anyone else). Here's what happened:
    The ownership on the root of my RAID volume was set to be read/write for me (under my proper username) and no access for anyone else including Admin. When I installed a fresh OS, the default user was Admin (who had no access under the previous OS). If I would've taken the time to set-up my proper account (with the same owner name as my previous OS) then it would've been visible again but since I didn't see it under the default Admin account, I stopped there to troubleshoot. Another way to make it visible was just to change the access privileges from my previous OS to be read/write for other users (or at least Admin). I would think that checking the box for "Ignore ownership on this volume" would've remedied that but for whatever reason, it didn't.
    Thank you for all your help. I did learn a little even if it wasn't the direct solution. Now if only I could get Disk Utility to restore my old image without giving me crazy errors... But that's another issue altogether. ;-D

  • Macbook pro 2010 not showing hdd in disk utility but shows the same in usb

    Macbook pro 2010 not showing hard disk in disk uility but same hdd shows when connected to usb original drive, also installed new hard disk 500gb, same result, but connected old hard disk of 500gb shows in disk utility and also able to installed os on it, tried installing lion 10.7 on it with the original and new hdd but not shows in  disk utility pls help for this problem

    I'm kind of experiencing the same issue now.
    A few days ago, when starting up my Mini, I would get a warning that the system didn't recognize the drive with the option to ignore. I hit ignore and all seven drives would mount. Because I have seven drives attached, I had no idea what drive was giving the warning.
    Today that drive failed to load up at all. I ran disk utility and after several tries, it said repair was successful yet the drive will not mount.
    I'm currently running recovery software on it to see if I can copy everything from it to another drive. It is a fairly old drive, about 3 years old so it's time is short.
    I don't have any suggestions but mine does show in disk utility.

  • Disk Utility Restore Process Input/Output Error

    <Image Edited by Host>
    My niece's MBP specs above. If I posted a picture of this poor machine, there'd be a lynch mob of passionate Apple fans arrive at my door wanting a public hanging...It's been dropped no less than a dozen times. (The ethernet port is stretched out of shape so badly that a standard plug will no longer fit the port!!!).
    Among other physical injuries, the screen won't present an image (just flickers white lines on black background, hinge has partially detatched, suspect the ribbon that transmits the display signal has been compromised). A visit to the Apple store tells us (by plugging into a cinema display via TB) that the hard drive is still in tact and data is salvageable. Keyboard and trackpad both work fine (surprisingly).
    Long story short, she's acquired a new MBA, been read the riot act about looking after it, and I have the unenviable task of salvaging her data, approx 275Gig.
    My objective is to obtain:
    1. A full copy of the data (existing file structures) - Complete
    2. A bootable disk image of the MBP - Incomplete and troublesome
    I have at my disposal:
    Mid 2011 27' iMac (Intel i7) on Mav
    MBPr13 (third host if needed) on Mav
    A home ethernet network with enterprise grade switching
    A Lacie 5BigPro 10TB NAS
    A couple of 1 & 2 TB Toshiba external drives, and
    Enough network adapters, USB cables and thunderbolt cables to suffice. Admin priviliges all round. All disk permissions repaired.
    Current connection config is the MBP thunderbolted to the iMac. I can use TDM (if I need to interface with the MBP using the iMac display) or can boot in Target Disk Mode if I want to see the MBP disk image on the iMac.
    Regarding Objective2: A bootable disk image of the MBP, I first tried to use the Restore function in Disk Utility, but that only works when booting the host in Recovery mode, whcih doesn't support TDM, so I'm flying blind...
    Next try, I booted the MBP in Target Disk Mode, which allowed me to use the Restore process from the iMac's Disk Utility, select the MBP HD, and target an external drive (one of the Toshiba's) plugged in to the iMac via USB.
    I've now tried this Restore 3 times, each time getting the following I/O error (at about 45 munites in to a projected 4 hour process):
    Any thoughts on root cause?
    And (given my screen/display limitations) am I missing a far simpler option?
    Cheers, Sla

    If that were the case you would not get in/out errors. These errors occur because the drive is no longer able to transfer data which is a hardware failure.
    If you want to post an image to the forum then you need to open the message editor and click on the Camera icon you will find in the editor's toolbar. Then select the image you wish to post and click on the Insert button.
    You can try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it reveals anything.

  • My MacBook Pro 13 inch makes a clicking noise from the hard drive and can not start up in safe mode and normal. I then ran disk utility in recovery mode and disk utility shows no problems with the hard drive. What is the problem?

    Please help me, I have a mid 2010 Mac book pro with a toshiba mk3266gsxf harddrive. It started making a clicking noise and then my computer crashed. I proceeded to boot in safe mode, but it doesn't work. When I ran disk utility in recovery mode, it showed no problem with my disk. Does any one know what the problem is?

    Sounds like a mechanical problem with the drive and it ruined the sectors where the Macintosh HD partition (and OS X, and files and programs) reside, but not your Recovery HD partition.
    If you held command option r while booting, that's Internet Recovery and it's loaded via the Internet, not via the Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, so that could mean the drive is dead mechanically or there is another issue.
    In either case the drive will likely have to be replaced, it's a matter of what occured to where and the drive state if you can recover data or not. If you made recent backups then your fine.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
