Feb 2, 2010I'm getting massively long boot times on my MBP with a progress bar showing. From what I've been able to gather this could be due to a corrupt disk, and Disk Utility in OS X agrees that my disk needs repair.

Dec 13, 2010My stepson made a DVD copy of some old film he had and gave a copy to my wife and she wants me to make some more copies to give to other family members. Don't know how so did it the eHow way as shown. The original will play in my Sony player but not the copy and it won't play on my mac either, what did I do wrong? My grandson asked if I finalized, don't know what that is, took it out when the mac said burn complete.
1. Place the DVD you want to copy into your DVD drive.
2. Go to and click on the hard drive and select "Applications." From there, launch the disk utility.
3. Click on the name of your DVD that appears in the white pane on the left hand side in disk utility.
4. Choose "New Image" in the disk utility toolbar. From there a dialog box will appear. Name the new image and choose a destination where you want to save to save it. The best idea is to save it to your desktop because it will make it easier to find when it's time to burn the image.
Burn the DVD.
Insert blank DVD.
Launch disk utility again.
Select burn in toolbar.
Find where you saved image if you didn't save to desktop. (I did save to desktop)
Click on DVD image and then click burn.
Insert blank DVD and your DVD should be ready in no time.
OS X :: How To Burn ISO With Disk Utility
Oct 6, 2010Whenever I try to burn an ISO to CD, it doesn't work, because Disk Utility requires me to insert a "Matshita DVD-R" and I don't have any of those. I only have DVD+R and CD-R. How do I burn it?

Aug 19, 2005I zipped up about 3 gigs into a 2.24 gig zip file. I did it with stuffit deluxe, and I had no problems opening it. Then, I sent the file over the network to my roomate and reformatted/reinstalled OS X Tiger, then d/l'd the file back from my roomate.
Now, it won't open! I'm just using the standard OS X BOM ArchiveHelper... it gets like 75% done and says:

OS X :: Processor Performance Utility For 10.4
Nov 26, 2005Anyone know if there exists a utility for 10.4 which replicates the "System Prefs.. Energy Saver.. Options.. Processor Performance" option but in a more accessible way? I tend to switch modes fairly often, so ideally I'd like a little menubar icon which I could click to toggle performance modes, or maybe a dock icon. No widgets please

View 7 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Cannot Erase DVD's In Disk Utility
Jan 28, 2008I am having trouble erasing DVD+RW discs. When I insert a used disc and try to erase it in Disk Utility, the process seems to complete almost immediately, ending with OS X asking me if I want to mount the inserted blank disc in Finder. However, if I eject the disc and put it back in, everything is still on there. (detail: When erasing, there is usually a short interval where a striped progress bar is shown, after which a "normal" progress bar is slowly filled as the disc is erased. However, for me only the striped progress bar is shown--the "normal" progress bar is skipped--and then OS X says erasing is done.) If instead of ejecting the disc I choose to go ahead and burn something as if Disk Utility has actually erased the disc, I get a laser power calibration error.

Feb 19, 2009Been searching for the answer to this question, so far to no avail. How can I create a bootable disk with Disk Utility on it? I need to run Disk Utility to repair my main startup disk on my G5 tower, which is running tiger 10.4.11. I do not have access to the original system installation disks for this computer. I also have an early Intel Dual Core tower running Tiger 10.4.11. That machine has Toast Titanium version 8.0.1. Also no access to the system installation disks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Cannot See Harddisk In Disk Utility
Apr 28, 2009I have just bought a Samsung 500GB SATA 5400rpm 8MB Cache Laptop Hard Drive and put it into my old MAC mini, the only problem is that the Disk Utility cannot see the drive at all. I have also tried df -hl but that cannot see it either.
If I connect the drive to a Windows PC it says that I have to initialise the drive using an MBR or GUID Partitioning.
I'm assuming that I have to use GUID partitioning for the MAC? But how do I do this inside Leopard? Do I have to take the drive out and initialise it using Windows?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Drive Cannot Be Seen In Disk Utility?
Jun 17, 2009I was working in windows using mac drive last night and I opened a dmg which I found out later was corrupted. It didn't open in windows, and windows hung to the point that I had to do a hard restart. Once everything booted back up (it took forever, btw), I found that one of my HFS drives (not the one I was working on at the time, oddly enough) had disappeared from both windows and osx. I cannot see the actual drive in device manager or disk utility, and things like diskwarrior and data recovery 2 don't see it either. I know it sounds like the hard drive failed, but is it possible that a software crash could cause the physical drive to completely fail?

Jan 26, 2010I bought this Macbook on eBay used awhile back, and it has worked great. I noticed it doesn't have iMovie and iDVD like it should, but that isn't a big deal. It has 10.5.8 OSX on it. I just noticed it also doesn't have Disk Utility as well. I know that I could buy Snow Leopard and give it a fresh install, but is there anyway I can download just the Disk Utility? At the moment, that is the only program I need. I was looking for alternatives, but I couldn't find any.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Disk Utility - HD Bay Location
Feb 28, 2010I just received my Mac Pro. I already took out the stock HD and inserted an Intel SSD as a Boot Drive and two Western Digital Black 1 TB Drives. The Intel SSD is in Bay 1 and then the 2 WD Black's are in Bay 2 & 3. When I open Disk Utility the Intel is first in the tree as expected, but when I click on the 1st WD Black in the tree (2nd drive) it says Bay 3 and then when I click on the 2nd WD Black (3rd drive) it says Bay 2.
Any ideas as to why it is like this in the tree? I would expect that the 2nd drive I click on being the 1st WD Black (physical location Bay 2) would be second in the tree, but it is 3rd. The reason this is a concern is because I intend for one of the WD Black's to be a data drive and the other to be a Time Machine drive. I do not want to get the two confused when I remove them in a year from now to perform maintenance.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can Use Disk Utility On 10.6
Jun 11, 2012Last year I bought a new 17" MacBook Pro, that came with Snow Leopard 10.6. I think it was just before I got my new MBP that I got an invitation to try the Developer Preview of 10.7 and offer feed back. Well, after using my new MBP for a couple days and backing up everything with Time Machine to an external hard drive I downloaded and installed 10.7 Preview.
After a few hours of using it I was not happy with it at all (long story short, several things indicated to me this was a pretty early version of 10.7 and I didn't want to use it on this machine). So I erased the drive and restored everything from my Time Machine backup. That must have been around a year ago or so.
Now I want to add a 100 GB partition to this hard drive so I can install Lion on the new partition to try it again. But my version of Disk Utility (11.5.2 (298.4)) won't let me add a partition. It looks like it is going to add a partition but then I get "New partition requires a newer version of OS X".
I think when I installed the Preview of Lion it did something to my drive/partion for some of the new features it supports. But, if I can get a copy of the Disk Utility that comes with 10.7 would that run under 10.6? And let me add a partition?
