Repairing disk - iMac OS 10.3.9

My machine passed the hardware test no problem, but when I attempt to repair the Mac HD using Disk Utility from the Install CD, I get this message:
Checking extents overflow file
invalid key length
volume check failed
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
Thanks for any help you can offer!

In Disk Utiltiy select the disk and then the Partition tab. Select the same number of partition you currectly have and then type in the same names. This wil cause a complete new directory to be written to the disk which should solve your problem for you.

  • My iMac goes to disc utilities on startup, repair disk doesn't cure it and I can't reinstall Mountain Lion because I don't remember my I'd and password at the time I bought the software. Currently working abroad and at a loss can anyone help please?

    My iMac goes to disc utilities on startup, repair disk doesn't cure it and I can't reinstall Mountain Lion because I don't remember my ID and password at the time I bought the software the system isn't accepting my current details and Apple isn't recognising the answers to my security questions.  They don't even seem to have my correc date of birth so I can't progress the reinstallation.  I'm currently abroad and have my iMac with me but with no way of contacting Apple that I can find, I'm at a loss and very reluctant to pay £35 to try and get my ID and pasword sorted out given that their system recognises my current details.  can anyone help please?

    when they gifted me the mountain Lion software several years ago.
    Mountain Lion was introduced in July 2012. Did the people who gifted you possibly use their Apple ID for the purchase of your OS? If you used your own Apple ID, you should have simply used the one you use for all things app store. The problem with any purchase at the app store is: whatever Apple ID was used to purchase, it willl stay tied to that Apple ID forever. And, purchases from the app store are not transferable.
    So, you can check with the person(s) who gifted you or spend $20 to buy it - or, if your hardware is compatible with the new OS Mavericks, you could download it and associate it with your Apple ID.
    FWIW, according to the licensing agreement, the OS remains the property of Apple and you are only granted a license to run it.

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi jtento ,
    Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user

  • Cant Repair Disk on iMac

    When I verified my hardrive on my imac, it said Erro: The underlying task reported failure on exit. Volume needs repair. But my button for Repair Disk is dimmed and cannot be selected. What do I do?

    Thanks b-behr
    For those who might read this post in error, though...
    It is a known Leopard problem that disk verification and repair is broken....
    When you do a disk repair or verification, just click the repair and WAIT -- you will see nothing happen for 10 minutes, as if your computer has just stopped responding -- then suddenly it will do your entire verification and repair and post your report. Most users would have log ago already logged off.

  • Applications on my iMac OSX 10.6.8 keeps shutting down immediately when I try to open. Help! I tried repair disk in disk utilities and nothing works..

    Help! I tried repair disk in disk utilities and nothing works..

    Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    Try booting up to Safe Boot and see if you still have this issue in "safe mode." This will help you determine if the issue is caused by 3rd part sofware, or some other type of OS corruption.

  • Older iMac slows then repairing disk permissions fixes - culprit?

    Mom's older iMac 350 running Panther is fine and then every so often it slows down significantly (even closing windows is very slow).
    Running Disk Utilities repair disk permissions always seems to solve the problem.
    Just curious if anyone knows what's going on here. This doesn't occur frequently, I think we've only done this twice in the past 8 months. Just curious what the culprit is here & has anyone else experienced this.

    Hi mjp29,
    even the best quality machines need some regular maintenance (MacOS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance). Just think of your car and what would happen if you never changed/added some oil...

  • Disk Utility hangs ("not responding") when attempting to Repair Disk on Time Capsule sparsebundle.  Help.

    I am trying to improve the performance of my Time Machine backup and retrievals via my 2nd Gen. Time Capsule from my iMac Core 2 Duo hard drive with SL 10.6.8.  The incremental backups generally take 20 - 40 minutes each hour generally with fewer than 100 MB of data being backed up.  I have read through numerous threads on these forums about Time Capsule and Time Machine issues as well as the very helpful Pondini site (http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Home.html) and have tried many other suggestions (listed below), but have been unable to attempt a Disk Utility repair disk on the Time Capsule sparsebundle file.
    After locating the sparsebundle 'file' in the finder under Shared/TC/Data, I am only sometimes able to drag the sparsebundle into the Disk Utility volumes and disk window.  About fifty percent of the time, Disk Utility hangs when attempting to drag in the sparsebundle.  If I am able to get it listed and click on "repair disk", then the beach ball begins to spin and nothing happens.  This occurs whether or not I first use AirPort Utility to "Disconnect All Users" from the Time Capsule.  I have given it over one hour to attempt the repair disk, but nothing happens, i.e., not a single message shows up in the detail window.  The beach ball just spins, and Disk Utility shows up in red as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.
    Also note that on my new Macbook Air, Time Machine runs quite quickly via this same Time Capsule from my new Macbook Air using OS X Lion (which seems to indicate that the Time Capsule drive itself is OK).
    I would appreciate any tips on getting Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my sparsebundle, as I seem to have exhausted most other options (see below) for improving Time Capsule performance -- aside of course, from wiping the Time Capsule clean and starting all over.... (which I really don't want to do, and from what I've read, has not helped some people who've tried this anyway).
    Many thanks!
    Although I would like to focus this thread on the Disk Utility / sparsebundle "Repair Disk" problem, I should mention that I have tried the following other things:
    1.  Repaired disk permissions on my hard drive
    2.  Used Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my hard drive after starting up from a SuperDuper external backup
    3.  Run DiskWarrior on my hard drive, again, from a separate startup disk
    4.  Did the "full reset of Time Machine", a la Pondini Troubleshooting #A4
    5.  Changed my computer and Time Capsule names to simple short names with only alphanumeric characters and no spaces
    6.  Ensured that my Time Capsule is being accessed only via ethernet
    7.  Relaunched the finder
    8.  And finally, attempting to use Disk Utility to repair the sparsebundle - thus the nature of this post

    OK, no takers out there, but I answered my own question (sort of).
    The answer is that even though Disk Utility shows up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu and appears to hang, it is actually still working.  A bit of patience shows that after about an hour, my Disk Utility was able to show the 1.44 TB Time Machine sparsebundle from Time Capsule in the disk window on the left hand side.  Once this appeared, I was able to click on "Repair Disk" (note that prior to doing this, I had to "Disconnect All Users" from my Time Capsule using the Airport Utility program; otherwise you will get a "could not unmount disk" error).  Again, the Repair Disk function appeared to hang Disk Utility as it showed up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.  However, after about 8 hours, Disk Utility did run the entire Repair Disk protocol on the sparsebundle.  The results DO NOT show up in the Disk Utility details window - so even if you are patient enough to let it complete, you will not see anything and may think that nothing happened.  However, you can find the familiar results of the Repair Disk function by looking on Console - find the "DiskUtility.log" under Files: ˜/Library/Logs.
    Unfortunately, I was hoping to find a problem that would have been subsequently repaired which would result in dramatically increased Time Capsule speed, but this was not the case.  Disk Utility showed everything to be "OK" and I am stuck with a very slow Time Capsule....
    (And of note, my new Macbook Air (OS Lion) Time Machine functions blazingly fast on both backup and retrieval to and from the very same Time Capsule - even though, these are occuring wirelessly via AirPort -- granted the size of this sparsebundle is an order of magnitude smaller at this point, i.e., only 10 GB right now)
    Would still be happy to hear of any similar experiences or tips on getting Time Capsule to work more quickly.

  • Repair Disk Permissions utility stalled - I have read the knowledge base

    I have researched the knowledge base and search for posts on this and cannot find answer: Running 10.4 at the latest version. used the original install 1 disc I received with Tiger to repair disc permissions (like Apple support has told me to do in the past, but my current research said I do not need to do this unless certain parameters are met, and none of the parameters applied, but oh well, I am here anyway). Cold Boot from the original install disc 1 and slected the start up disk I use (I only have one start up disc/drive). Did a repair disc permissions and got a long running routine that reporting a lot of fixes, then the utility has stalled -- no progress on the progress bar. I "stopped" the process using the "stop repair" button (three times). The log reflected the utility stopped, but the progress bar still is blue and not moving (for a couple of hours). When I go to quity File >Disk Utility, it warns me that Disk Utility is running and this may make my system unstable/unsuable.
    QUESTION: CAN I JUST QUIT DISK UTILITY AND NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE AFFECT ON MY IMAC DRIVE?

    Thanks for your advice, I still have an issue:
    -after the first repair disk permission "stalled" process, I exited Disk Utility and cold booted the machine after I had disconnected all external devices other than the original iMac keyboard
    -obtained the combo patch for 10.4.7 from the Apple download site (it had already been installed but I reinstalled per your advice)
    -re-applied the combo patch and then did another cold boot
    -ran Disk Utility from the original Tiger install #1 disk, and then selected "repair disk permissions" for my start up disk (I only have one)
    - process ran for 10 minutes or so then gave the following error message: "Disk Utility Error: Disk Utility has lost its connection with disk utility management tool and cannot continue. Please quit disk utility and re-launch disk utility"
    - I pushed the "stop disk permission repair" button, then quit disk utility, then cold booted the machine again.
    -re-applied combo patch as above, then cold booted the machine
    -ran disk utility from the original iMac install #1 disk, ran "repair disk permissions", and then received the same error message as above.
    - I then just quit Disk Utility and cold booted the machine again and went about my business. There does not seem to be any problem with the machine (was not before, but I ran repair permissions thinkging this was a routine maintenance taks that should be run)
    - in my prior search of the knowledge base, I found the following information about repair disk permissions:
    Location: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607495&#607495
    How often should I Repair Permissions?
    You do not need to Repair Permissions on a regular basis.
    There are only three occasions you need to do this:
    1. When you have just installed something that required you to run an Installer, rather than just copying some software to a folder. This should be done for both Apple and non-Apple software.
    2. When you have been working on your OS X files or folders while booted from OS 9, or remotely connected via a non-OS X machine, since OS 9 and other systems do not handle OS X's permissions correctly.
    3. The other case is if your system is behaving strangely, when you should run Disk Repair from your CD followed by Repair Permissions. This is just to eliminate these things before going on to further trouble-shooting.
    Otherwise you can happily forget about Permissions!"
    So, it would appear I do not need to do anything else; the machine seems to be working properly. Is there anything else I need to do? thanks for the help! Bob

  • Why can't i click on repair disk for my hard drive in disk utility?

    I have an iMac from 2010 and when I went to install the new OS (Yosemite) I got stuck in the screen where the install couldn't be verified.  I opened up disk utility and when I went to verify my Mac HD.  The verify failed and I got a popup window that said the disk needed to be repaired and to click on "repair disk".  However the repair disk button is not lighting up and there's no way for me to click it.  Everything else that I could verify was fine, the only thing that had a problem was the hard drive.  Does someone know if there's anyway I can repair it?  Please help, I haven't been able to use my computer for days now!

    Try booting from the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair the disk drive from there.

  • This history look right? After Repairing Disk Permissions WARNINGS exist.

    I just repaired disk permissions on my iMac, does the history look OK? Plenty of WARNINGS at the end of the history. I am not too concerned with the ACL stuff.
    Cheers
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Reading permissions database.
    Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.
    Permissions differ on "Library/StartupItems", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are drwxrwxr-x .

  • Warning Message after repairing disk permissions

    I received the following warning after running Repair Disk Permissions:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    My computer has been crashing a lot. Apple ran hardware tests and everything appears to be running OK. Could this message hold the key to my problems?

    Probably not, please read this Apple Advice Letter:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    However it would be very beneficial if you provide more information about the circumstances and specifications of your iMac to determine why it's crashing. Also if you are running Activity Monitor to check and see how much FREEE RAM you have and if there are any processes taking up a lot of % CPU.

  • Need to repair disk but dvd is broke

    hi. despite using logic9 and ableton8 extensively for some years my actual knowledge of computers and the os is shameful just to warn you
    ive often done "repair permissions" but was told to do disk repair also from time to time, so i did the verify disk and was told i need to do a repair of the disk
    the trouble is when i got my imac it came with leopard os and unfortunately disk 01 of the 2 osx discs that came with the mac is broken.  i have since upgraded to snow leopard and have that disk still in one piece but i think its just an upgrade disk and not sure if i can use that insted to repair the disk?
    when it comes to things like this i have no clue which is shameful concidering the extent to which i use my mac
    manny thanks

    well yeah this is my problem as that is the broken disc.  so say i one day need to format the hd reinstal osx and recover files from ext hd (like if the mac went for hardware repair) am i basically screwed?  or can i still get a leopard disk from apple?
    You should still be able to, just call Apple Customer Service  with the Mac's serial no. and model (and a credit card handy). Replacement discs are usually around $16 or so, I understand - that's the cost of burning one from the master for that build, post and packing. Take that number as a guide only - it's been quoted for a long time now so it may be different.
    Meanwhile, if all you want to do just now is Repair Disk, boot into Single User mode (hold down ⌘S on start up).
    When everything stops loading, type
    fsck -fy
    and press return (note the space between k and the hyphen),
    If it comes up as repair carried out and HD seems OK, run the command one more time to ensure it just says HD OK without any repairs noted.
    If it says more repairs are needed, run it until either it comes up OK or it says the disc can't be repaired.
    To exit, type
    reboot    and press return..

  • Cannot, View or Repair Disk Permissions with disk utility,

    Hey,
    I can't repair disk permissions using Disk Utility.
    I can only repair them using the boot disk and I'm just worried that something somewhere is corrupted or gone irky (Technical computer term).
    Thanks.

    Installed Lion on my 27" iMac (mid 2010) and everyday since it shuts down after start up.
    Called Apple they said repair permissions, after safe boot. Thats works but only for the next restart.
    When I shutdown and start up the next day I have to go thru the same process.
    Anybody else have this problem?

  • Running the latest OS Mavericks.  8 gigs of RAM.  150 gigs free space on computer.  Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions.  Repaired disk permissions - no help.

    I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac).  8 gigs of RAM.  150 gigs free space on computer.  Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions.  Repaired Disk Permissions - no help.  Repaired disk - no problems indicated.  Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period.  Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

    Yes.  Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08.  Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):
    2/11/14 1:01:16.577 PM Microsoft Word[1912]: OTAtomicAdd32 is deprecated and will be removed soon.  Please stop using it.
    Also getting many msgs when I use Chrome.

  • Repair Disk Permissions is Grayed Out

    I have a 2011 iMac with an internal SSD as the boot and another internal 2TB drive. I was working with an HTML file but was unable to display any JPGs/PNGs file in any of the browsers correctly. The files are located on the 2TB drive. I think this could be a permissions issue. If I copy and access those same files on the boot drive instead, the JPGs/PNGs displayed fine via HTML. I launched Apple's Disk Utility and when I select the 2TB, both Permissions buttons are grayed out. The Verify and Repair Disk buttons are working fine. I ran those anyway. No problems there.
    So why are both Permissions buttons grayed out for the internal 2TB and how can I fix this?

    Thanks for clarifying. I am still trying figure out what is it about the internal SSD boot drive and the 2TB drive that seems to interfere with displaying the pixel base files. This is the scenario.
    I am following a tutorial on Lynda.com called "Design the Web: Illustrator to Animated HTML5 Canvas." I am using a plug in called Ai2CanvasMac with Adobe Illustrator, It essentially generates an HTML file from an Illustrator file. The Illustrator file has an embedded PNG file as a background image and a small vector graphic in front and centered. After the plug-in generates the HTML file, it automatically opens the file up in the browser. This is where I am getting mixed results.
    If the files I am working with are on the 2TB, the PNG does not display in any of the browser correctly. If I work with the same files on the SSD boot drive. The PNG displays fine.
    Any ideas what could be the problem?
