Why my drive keep getting corrupt?

I have a MacBook Pro 17" (February, 2011). I run it with the stock Thoshiba hard drive for most of is life. One month ago the mac crash and drive was corrupted and it could not be repaired. I tried disk warrior, apple utility tool and fsck -fy. They all said my drive can't be repaired. The drive had no sign of being broke expect from being corrupted. For the sake of getting better speed I bought a SSD since I need to reinstall everything anyway. So I switched my Thoshiba drive for an OCZ vertex 3. Everything running fine for two weeks until the mac crash again and won't boot again. Tools all said again that the drive can't be repaired. I am pretty sure both drive are in working condition. So anyone have any idea why my drives keep getting corrupt? Do you think I am just really unlucky and I should get a third drives?
Additional info:
I was using Mac OSX 10.8.4 on both drives when they crash and get corrupt.
I use mostly the mac for IOS app development (with monotouch) and play game on it like once a month

how are you SURE both drives are working fine? Did you try to format and test them on another computer?
Id say unlucky yes. Toshiba drives are made by Hitachi, are the best conventional HD, but they all fail. there are only 3 HD mfg. on earth.
best SSD are sandisk and samsung.

Hard drive keeps getting corrupted

I've got a troublesome issue with my MacBook this past month, and I think may hard drive is flaking out.
A few weeks ago I experienced some serious crashes in OS X where everything would just freeze. Spinning-beach-ball-of-death freezes. There'd be no way to recover from these freezes aside from hard-rebooting the computer. After a couple of these (within the same day) I ran Disk Utility from my Leopard disc and tried to repair the hard drive. This failed, however, and then left me unable to boot from my Macintosh HD volume at ALL (I had Windows set up in Boot Camp; that was also experiencing some dire crashes). My only fix was to reformat and try again. After I had zero'd out the hard drive and reinstalled everything, it was okay for another couple of weeks.
Now it's happened again, and I tried repairing the volume in Disk Utility only to be met with a bunch of "invalid node structure" messages, a bunch of "invalid thread counts" and what nots; a bunch, like almost 50. My Windows partition is still okay, but I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before it begins to fail, too.
Do I have a faulty hard drive? Or is there some piece of rogue software that is killing my hard drive? I'm inclined to think it's the hard drive itself, because I haven't introduced any new software to the system in a while now, and I'm not doing any radical behaviors that would goof up my directory structure.
Help!

As a follow up, the hard drive was indeed bad. I took it in for repair and all was right with the world (still is, several months later).

Why do disk permissions keep getting corrupted?

The disk permissions on my Macbook Pro keep getting corrupted and I have to run the Disk Utility Program to repair them. What is likely causing this issue?

If you see permissions appear to be repaired again, it could be among those that can safely be ignored:

Photos keep getting corrupted in Lightroom Catalog - Help!

Photos in my LR Catalog (usually over a year old) keep getting corrupted. When I go to a dated folder, a strip comes up with the photos. Some of them are fine, some of them have an "!" on the photo saying "An error occured when working with this file." So I try to "EDIT IN PS." It will allow me to choose "Edit a Copy" and so when PS tries to open it, the error message says "The document may be damaged. File may be truncated or incomplete." I open anyway, and it shows fine 2/3 or 3/4 of the way down, then it gets chunky....like someone cut off the bottom of the photo and bumped it up a bit. I will attach a photo. HOW can I keep this from happening??? I have my catalog on a Seagate external drive because my laptop can't handle all the space it would take up. I always wait until it says I can eject, although it almost NEVER says that, even after being left for HOURS, so I shut down the computer, then unplug the hard drive. I would love some help, because this keeps happening!!!

I tried opening one of the affected photos directly into Photoshop without using LR first. It looks like this.

Why do music files get corrupted in iTunes?

Why do music files get corrupted in iTunes? All kinds of files;( mp3, mp4, aac, etc., either purchased from iTunes, Store, downloaded from online, or uploaded from an audio disc) SUDDENLY GET CORRUPTED AND STOP PLAYING! Even if I delete the file from my iTunes and then re-open it from the source, it appears to be corrupted. My system has been thoroughly scanned and does not have and never has hAd, a virus. Music files should not have a shelf life. They're just non-living pieces of information. So why should they suddenly go bad? It is unacceptable that over the past year I have had to delete many files from my iTunes library and find some other source for the same song. It has been an exhausting headache and an exasperating waste of my time.

this is not necessarily the case, I had an itunes library go bad on me. I noticed the corrupt files on my ipod, they were either skipping real bad or sounded like there was some crazy modulation filter applie. Anyways, i went to iTunes and the files were bad there, so I played them in WMP, also bad, so obviously it was a file issue, BUT, what was the source of the corruption.......also, this happened ONLY to mp3s, no other audio file.......so i had backups and copied the bad files from a dvd and played them in WMP, files were good, then i import them to iTunes, and the files are crap again, so I tried just adding to library, still bad. So the file was fine before, once iTunes touched it, the file went bad, I **** you not. So I uninstalled iTunes from my PC, downloaded the newest version and reinstalled, same problems, so i continued trying with a different version, and making sure all registry entries were cleared before installing etc. NOTHING, so in the end i had to start using Winamp and all those files have not since caused me problems. So NO, it does not have to be hard drive issues, assess your own situation and you should be able to figure out if it is your HDD. My problem seemed to be iTunes library corrupting my metadata. However, I could never get it to work. I am glad to say I have since abandoned my PC and bought a new iMac on which i once again happily running iTunes with all the same audio files as before

Have you ever installed a new lightbulb and watch it pop & fail the first time you turn it on?
Same thing can happen to any electronic good.

Sorry I know nothing about computers.

Ideally an external HD, but at a pinch you may be able to get enough on to USB thumb drives to free up enough space to carry out an orderly backup.
Just remember that you need to move the files, not just copy them; in other words, once the file is on the thumb drive, the original needs to be deleted and the trash emptied to free up the space on your internal. So for any really important stuff you may wish to copy it to more than one drive for safety.

Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?
This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

Welcome to the forum.
Exactly what program is throwing that request message?
Does that message list any details, such as WHAT will be written/saved to your computer?
As ATR mentions, I am not sure how PrE figures into the mix. I would anticipate that your message is coming from FaceBook, or from the OS, or from your anti-virus/anti-malware program.
Regardless, be VERY wary of any program, or Web site, that wants to write to your computer, unless you have delibertly invoked something that you DO want to do so.
Good luck,

Why do I keep getting alerts for shared calendars?

I have a calendar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
My wife has a clanedar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
Both calendars are shared, so we can see what the others availability is on a given day at a given time.
But why do I keep getting alerts on my iPhone (and only on my iPhone) for my WIFE's events? I've turned off the "show shared calendar events" button in the calendar preferences on my iPhone, but I'm *still* getting alerts for all her events. I don't need this, I don't want this, I turned it off... why is it still happening?
My iCloud calendar is defaulted to my calendar. I do not get alerts on my iMac for her events, only on the iphone. Can anyone help? I never want to see her events unless I manually go and look at them on my calendars or in iCloud calendar.

Your System Details list shows that you use a Firefox 31.0 release.
That is not the current release.
The current release is Firefox 34.0.5.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 34.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install

C drive keeps getting full for SCCM Server

I have a small issue with my SCCM server. The C drive keeps getting full in the sccm server I kept increasing and it just keeps getting maxed out. I have checked all the files and cannot seem to
find what the problem is. I have looked up in the web and everyone seems to have the same issue with their sccm servers as well do
you know any information on this or how to clean up the C drive? The Partition which holds the images and the distribution point is all good its just the C
drive which gets filled up. <o:p></o:p>

I found the following:
All things you have in the console with content (Applications, packages/programs, SUM deployment packages, OS Images, etc.) will make a copy of the source in the Content Library.
The Content Library is cleaned up as these items are removed from ConfigMgr.
Your options are to either delete unneeded objects from ConfigMgr with the console (which will remove their content from the Content Library), or to
move the Content Library to another drive with ContentLibraryTransfer.exe from the
Configuration Manager Toolkit.
Try this link which is discussing about your scenario.
