OS X :: Hard Disk Not Displaying On Desktop?
Jan 10, 2011We've got roaming accounts for our macs, but we get issues sometimes when students log in that the icon for the hard disk doesnt appeard on the desktop or in the finder. Weirdly related to this is when this happens neither firefox or safari can load any webpages. However, if students log out and log back in again the internet works fine. Im assuming when the hard disk isnt available, then firefox and safari cant access its preferences and necessary files properly, but what would be causing the hard drives not to mount/be visibile?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: It Won't Boot After Trying To Repair With Disk Utility, Cannot Boot In Safe Mode
Jun 11, 2012I have a MacBook 4,1 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor 4GB Ram. It is taking over 10 minutes to boot up past the gray apple screen when I turn it on. First I cleared the PRam (?) then I checked the disk using Disk Utility Verify, and it said the disk needed repairs. So I ran the disk repair and it said it was unable to fix the errors on the HD.
I did a little research and tried booting into the Single User mode, then running /sbin/fsck -fy. It said that it found errors but could not fix them. I ran it two more times as suggested and got the same result each time. I then tried rebooting and now instead of taking 10 minutes to boot up, it takes about 5 minutes on the gray apple screen and then just turns off. I started in Verbose mode to try to troubleshoot the error and it appears the last thing to come across the screen before power down is a message "Apple Yukon 2: RxRingSize <= 1024....etc".
I decided next I would run the Apple Hardware Tester. The test came back with an error code "4SNS/1/40000001:IG0C-0.265". I am very good at searching the web but I could not find any errors that had the IG0C or IGOC or any combination at the end, but plenty of 4SNS/1/40000000(1) errors with different endings. From what I can tell people are saying anything with 4SNS/1/4000000 is a logic board failure, but this computer was literally just booting this morning until I did the /sbin/fsck -fy.

OS X :: Unable;e To Boot From Internal Hard Drive / Use Disk Warrior To Repair Disk?
Apr 11, 2010I am considering purchasing diskwarrior but want to make sure it can help my situation before I purchase it. My imac will not boot from the internal hard drive (Intel processor) When I use disk utility to try and repair the disk, I get error messages and it won't repair. I can see the HD but cannot repair it. When I connect using target mode with my mac book pro, the hard drive does not appear on my host (macbook pro) computer. I have reloaded OS X (Leopard) onto a firewire external drive and can boot my imac that way but I can not find my original internal Macintosh HD. Will disk warrior be able to help with this scenario. I would really like to access that internal Macintosh HD and retrieve my files.

May 26, 2009I'm currently in the process of trying to install Win7 on my Macbook Pro (purchased July '07) using an ISO burned to a DVD with Disk Utility. Unfortunately, the DVD isn't bootable, and while the symptoms match what's in this blog post, the author's solution involved using a Windows-only program.
I'd like to know if it's possible to re-burn the ISO without the version number in the filenames as in the original solution, but with Disk Utility or something else that a Mac can use.

Will need to use Target Mode or another Mac connected with Firewire till then. Boot from that then run DW from your MBP.
OS X Mavericks :: MacBook Pro Only Turns On In Recovery - Disk Utility Can't Repair Disk
Sep 12, 2014Macbook Pro running on OSX Mavericks is having problems.
Today I turned my Mac on, and it started up with a loading wheel and a loading bar. When the loading bar finished, the Mac turned itself off. I tried many times, same happened every time. I then went into OSX Recovery, started repairing Macintosh HD, but the error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair Macintosh HD" came up and now I don't now what to do.
Is there any way I can back up my files in this situation? Is there any way I can repair the disk without having to erase all data and reinstalling OSX? Or do I really need to bring it to a Apple Store for repair?

Feb 6, 2012I swapped out the original 320GB internal HDD in my MBP for a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar today, and copied the contents of the original to the new drive with Superduper.The original 320GB drive is now in an enclosure, and both the MBP and the external appear to be fine.However, both drives have a file on the desktop on booting, which is automatically opened by TextEdit.The file is called 'QResouce' and the text reads as follows: #include "qresource.h"I have closed the file and rebooted several times. Each time it reappears on the desktop.

Mac Pro :: SSD As Boot Drive - Make Desktop In Bay 2?
Jul 5, 2010So I am contemplating getting an SSD as my boot drive. I read a huge article on anandtech talking about how SSD degradation works. So I would only want the OS and Applications I have to be on the SSD. I know how to change my downloads to go to a different drive and set up my iTunes music folder somewhere else too. However, how could I make the desktop be on a drive in bay 2? Or photo booth pictures to go to the drive in bay 2? Or an iPhone backup? Basically, how can I get everything to not go on the SSD besides just the necessary files for the OS and my applications? I just don't want a bunch of random files being written to the SSD.

Intel Mac :: Put A Disk Cleaner Into Desktop?
Jun 7, 2012For a while my disk drive was very noisy when inserting a disk into the disk feeder. Over time, it quite reading dvd's and cd's. As much time passed, my daughter put in a dvd and now it seems to be working. possible the laser heads need to be cleaned? Can i put a "OptDisc" ( a disk used with little brushed on the back to clean the laser heads) in the feeder? I thought the Apple store had encouraged me to do this, but when I bought one, they said these disk cleaners shoudn't be used in feeders or vehicles -- they're only recommended to be used in "drop in" players where a tray opens up.
