You either messed up the install or you subsequently copied an older version of Disk Utility from another machine, an old backup or the like. It's hard to know exactly what happened, but without more info I would view your system as potentially compromised and would recommend reinstalling it. Just run the installer and install on top of the system you have currently installed. It'll replace all the system components and leave everything else alone. (Of course, it should go without saying that you should have a good set of backups before doing anything like this.)

What is the brand of optical disk medium to use with mac MINI super drive?

TDK brand of blank optical disk medium on my mac (super drive) is not reading the optical disk I put in there to burn to. The genius at the apple store put in a Memorex brand of optical disk medium and it worked. What is the consensus for buying blank medium that will work with the .mac MINI super drive it seems TDK doesn't work? What is the brand and type to go with?

You need a regular optical digital cable, often called a Toslink, with a 3.5 mm miniplug adapter on the Mac mini end. The port is a combo port. When you insert the optical cable's miniplug into the port, because it is a tiny bit longer than a regular 3.5 mm miniplug, it activates the digital audio. Usually the port's output is analog by default.

Version of Disk Utility

Does the Version make a difference?
Got "Spring Cleaning 9.0" for Mac.
Claims <Disk Utility> is damaged.
I reinstalled from the Tiger Disk <DU 10.5.4 on iMac DC>
Spring Cleaning gives it a clean bill of health.
What it replaced was <DU 10.5.8 on the iMac DC>
Is this version difference important?
What caused it to change from the original?
-wbajr tbc
eMac DVD iMac DC intel Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Yes, it makes a difference. You should only use the
version of Disk Utility that was installed when you
installed the version of OS X you are currently
running. If you are running Tiger then you should be
using the version of DU that was installed by the
Tiger installer.
Any updates for DU would be made by an OS X updater
for the OS X you are using. For Tiger these would
be 10.4.1 through 10.4.10. The current Tiger version
of DU is 10.5.8. If would be safe to use on any
Tiger system.
I would suggest you not rely on Spring Cleaning. It
has a notorious reputation for being buggy and
unreliable. The best commercial tools to have are:
Disk Warrior
TechTool Pro
If you are concerned about system upkeep:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for
OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot
handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW
only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most
disk problems are caused by directory corruption;
Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro
provides additional repair options including file
repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk
defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac
compatible; Drive Genius is
similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various
repair services provided. The current version,
1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are
scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly
period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM
only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If
this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to
download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW
PseudoAnacron, or Ana
cron that will automate the maintenance activity
regardless of whether the computer is turned off or
asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in
size, so unless you have a disk full of very large
files there's little need for defragmenting the hard
drive. As for virus protection there are few if any
such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the
computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus
protection software ClamXAV
. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus
software because of their potential for causing
problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware
utility TinkerTool
System that you can use for periodic maintenance
such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing
caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack
. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to
start in single-user mode from which you can run
Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance
routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates
be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions
beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software
updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size
to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a
bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone
using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can
also make and maintain clones with good backup
software. My personal recommendations are (order is
not significant):
1. Retrospect
Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro
X (Commercial)
3. Synk
(Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja
Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX
2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon
Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal
Binary)
7. SuperDuper!
(Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup,
but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with
Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also
backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD.
However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is
primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other
two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups,
only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to
CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab
FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance,
optimization, virus protection, and backup and
restore.

Very Helpful!
Thanks for the NFO.
One Follow up: Best way back to DU 10.5.8?
a) drop in a copy from my clone drive?
b) Reinstall Tiger {Archive Option} and perform succesive updates?

is Disk Utility in OS X 10.8.2 the version of Disk utilit that controls the Fusion Drive on new Imacs?

No. Only those computers with a Fusion Drive installed will get the special version of Disk Utility. Do a Google search if you want to find out how to create a fusion drive with older systems, but I suggest it's a waste of time.

Getting out of disk utility when you want to restore your Mac???

I wanted to restore my Macbook Pro early 2011, so I shut down my computer then turned it on and held down option. I got to the disk utility app but now I'm having second thoughts about restoring it. I can't get out of disk utility and get back to my homescreen... Any help? It's been irritating me a lot.

If you've erased everything, then you need to reinstall OS X:
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

I am now using 10.6.8. Downloaded Maverick but cannot update OS on HD because get message the disk is not formatted as Mac OS extended(journaled). Tried to use Disk Utility as per instruction but cannot complete operation.

I am now using 10.6.8. Downloaded Maverick but cannot update OS on HD because get message the disk is not formatted as Mac OS extended(journaled). Tried to use Disk Utility as per instruction but cannot complete operation.

Barney-15E:
The partition method worked after some trepidation. I got the spinning beach ball after partitioning and couldn't go further till I named the second partition. That may have done it. Right now, things seem to be working o.k. I'm updating a current iPhoto and will have to get a MS Word program that will function on the current OS and a current Quicken.
If necessary, can start up from the 10.6.8 system which I downloaded to an external HD before updating. I can always fall back on that. Also, I hope I don't get too many disconnects. Thank you for your help.

CCC or Disk Utility to clone a Mac HD of one new iMac to another, over ThunderBolt, we are getting I/O errors. Even though the clone fails, the destination system does boot and log in, however, the logins take a very very very long time.

When using CCC (Carbon Cophy Cloner) or Disk Utility to clone a Mac HD of one new iMac to another, over ThunderBolt, we are getting I/O errors. Even though the clone fails, the destination system does boot and log in, however, the logins take a very very very long time.
Thoughts.
Edit: Already ran Disk Utility. Also reinstalled a fresh OS on top of the cloned OS and it seemed to remedy the problem. Then, cloned to next machine in the row of the lab. Same problem.

OK, by that I assume that you used Disk Utility to repair the subject disk and it reported "The volume (name) appears to be OK" in green.
Also verify you followed the instructions here: http://help.bombich.com/kb/usage-scenarios/i-want-to-clone-my-entire-hard-drive- to-a-new-hard-drive-or-a-new-machine
If so, the Thunderbolt connection begins to look suspicious.
Reinstalling OS X subsequent to the "clone" operation may be an acceptable workaround but you should not have had the I/O errors you describe, nor should the login times (subsequent to the initial login, that is) be unacceptably long. It calls into question the integrity of all the information that was transferrred.
I'll try to attract the attention of a CCC expert who will likely provide more competent assistance. You can also try the Bombich support site: http://help.bombich.com

Can't use this version of Disk Utility.app with this version of os x question

Hi barcolana,
If you are having issues using Disk Utility on your Mac running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, you may want to make sure that you are booting to Recovery before using Disk Utility; you may find the following article helpful:

HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

HT1515 which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

How can I find out which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

I have this issue, too. The problem with the advice from Saito_Chickara is that Mavericks (I'm on 10.9.2) does not allow you to run AirPort Utility 5.x. So for those of us on Mavericks, what can we do? I have yet to find a solution. This is really frustrating.
