OS X :: Repairing HD From Install Disk?

Dec 25, 2010

I tried to repair my HD but it said that I needed to boot from my install disc and repair then using disk utility. If I boot from the Snow Leopard install disc and then repair my HD, am I going to have to re-install Snow Leopard?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Error With Disk Utility When Repairing Disk

Jun 26, 2012

I just got my computer yesterday and when running the "repair disk" function, I already get an error! Since I used migration assistant to move everything off my old mac to my new mac, I'm not interested in reinstalling the whole OS and transffering all my files again. This is a new computer, and shouldn't have this problem this early. I also get the same result when starting up in the recovery partition. How do I resolve this?

Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

OS X Yosemite :: Corrupt Disk Is Not Repairing With Disk Utility

Dec 4, 2014

Disk Utility when I run verify says I need to reboot from the Repair Disk. I tried (twice) and it shows no problems. When I reboot normally, and run DU, I get the same error. Which result should I believe?? And is there a workaround? Using 10.10.1 / Air late 2011.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

MacBook :: Repairing Disk With Another Installation Disk?

Jun 30, 2014

My startup disk is almost full so I tried to repair disk in Disk Utility but only 'verify disk' was available, which led to the following error message: "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk." I have recently moved countries and cannot seem to find my installation disk anywhere (stupid, I know). Is there another option, such as using someone else's installation disk (since nothing is actually installed from the installation disk in this process, right?) or does it have to be my own installation disk? It is an old MacBook (2007), running OSX 10.6.3.

OS X :: Repairing Permissions For HD Using Disk Utility

Dec 16, 2009

I've been having some real odd things going on with Snow Leopard. I thought that repairing permissions and repairing the disk may help. I ran the tests, but there are errors that look like they cannot be fixed. Below I posted the log file from Disk Utility:

Code:
2009-12-16 15:44:25 -0700: Disk Utility started.
2009-12-16 15:45:12 -0700: Repairing permissions for "Macintosh HD"

2009-12-16 15:46:43 -0700: Repaired "usr/share/derby".
2009-12-16 15:47:09 -0700: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
2009-12-16 15:48:55 -0700:
2009-12-16 15:48:55 -0700: Permissions repair complete
2009-12-16 15:48:55 -0700:

What I should do since Disk Utility won't repair the problem?

OS X :: Very Slow Internet After Repairing Disk Permissions?

Nov 16, 2008

After reading on the internet that you should repair disk permissions around once a month or something I decided to do it after not doing it for ages, so I go and do it, then shut it off and leave it for a bit, and then when I turn it on I open Safari and I notice that its taking a really long time to load Apple's Start Page, so I think nothing of it and turn it off again, then a bit later I turn on and I find the internet on it still just as slow.

So I am wondering if its cause I did it or because of my router.

MacBook :: Repairing Disk When All Attempts Have Failed?

Jun 19, 2012

We recently purchased a MacBook Air for a family member.  She was using an old MacBook with Snow Leopard.  Tried Migration Assistant, but after running overnight, the process hung with "less than a minute remaining."  After waiting several hours, we decided to shut down both computers and start over. MacBook Air started up fine, and we were able to migrate from a Time Machine backup.  No problems there. The old MacBook was greatly affected.  The computer will not start up.  The grey screen with the progress bar shows up on boot, but never moves beyond the spinning process circle. I tried booting from the OS install disk to use disk utility to repair it... but the machine seems to not accept the DVD and ejects it. 

The only mode that I can boot into is single-user mode.  I have tried using fsck to repair the disk, but even after many repeated attempts, it exits with "The volume could not be repaired."  I think that this is an issue with the B-tree, which must have been damaged during the improper shut down during the migration. Are there any other options for recovering the computer?  Again, this will not boot from the install disk, and the only mode that I can seem to access is single-user mode.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

OS X :: Occasional Freeze & Repair Disk Permissions Not Repairing?

Nov 10, 2009

I bought this G5 with consistant startup problems but after replacing the hard drive,installing a fresh operating system, re-seating the ram, checking the Pram battery, etc, it was running fine. I now realize that when trying to repair the disk permissions, the same list keeps coming back even though it shows it's been repaired. Also, occasionally it may freeze or go into kernal panic on startup. If the hard drive is new, does it sound like a possible hardware problem? Does repairing disk permissions involve anything hardware?

MacBook Pro :: Repairing Disk Permissions Takes More Than A Half Hour?

Nov 18, 2010

I am running snow leopard, have 8 GB RAM and 320GB hard drive

I've had the computer 5 months, and today randomly decided to "repair disk permissions" on disk utility.

Estimated time remaining is 32 mins. So far there is already a huge list of details, mostly things that are supposed to be set at 95 or 1 but are set to 0 (not sure what this means).

Is it supposed to take this long? What exactly is it fixing, and how did these problems arise from simple regular use? Will I notice a difference in my computer's speed afterwords?

IMac :: Snow Leopard Install Hangs On Repairing Volume

Jun 20, 2010

i got a white screen when i booted up last night, so i saw it as an opportunity to upgrade rather than trying to fix it. I popped in a fresh copy of snow leopard, it made my white screen boot up. before installing, i opened disk utility and erased my hard drive, and it automatically made a single partition, titled "untitled" and mounted it. i installed to "untitled" and turned install log, and the progress bar is empty. time remaining: about 30 minutes log: checking catalog file is the last line, and it's been there for over 1 hour. i restarted and now it says "volume headers need minor repairs" "repairing volume" and hangs there now.

Windows On Mac :: Installed Vista Via Bootcamp - Install Drivers Without An Install Disk?

Apr 10, 2009

I searched for a while trying to find the answer but did not find it. I just installed Vista Business via Bootcamp. I am not able to access the internet or anything. If I read the help stuff right I need to use the OSX install disk to install the drivers. The problem is, I don't have the install disk. Is there any other way to get the drivers? Or am I just missing something easier?

OS X :: How To Install Apps From Install Disk Without Starting From Scratch?

Aug 23, 2009

Searched the archives but no luck so far. My old PB G4 is running 10.4.11. When I installed the OS, I chose not to install iPhoto and iMovie because I didn't think I'd need them on this machine. I'd now like to add them, but am not sure how to do it without wiping the hard drive and starting completely from the beginning. There's got to be an easier way...right?

I have recently done a Time machine back up of my MB Pro 15" then wiped my hard drive trying to clean it up so I could install Windows 7 with Boot Camp.

Whenever I verify disk permissions/disk on Disk Utility, it tells me the volume needs to be repaired, and to do this I must insert the Mac OS X start-up disk

OS X :: Can Repairing Permissions Cause Trouble?

Nov 20, 2010

I have a an old G4 running Mac 10.3.5 that I need to update to 10.3.9 to run a program. The machine has a long boot time so I'm worried it might die soon.

Anyways I am wondering if I should click "repair permissions" and/or "verify permissions" before I do the 10.3.9 combo update. Will this increase the chances that the 10.3.9 update will not cause problems? Or can repairing permissions itself cause trouble?

I have never repaired or verified permissions on this machine.

OS X :: Repairing Leopard From CD / Will Have To Format?

May 2, 2009

I cannot install any updates. Get a "run preflight script" error. I've tried repairing my disc permissions to no avail. I want to repair with the disc that came with my MBP. Will I be able to just repair the OS without reformatting and reinstalling? I ask this because I have SO MANY progs (as well as parallels with winXP) and such on the mac and it would take an entire day to reinstall everything. Just wanted to know if I could avoid that.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: DU Not Repairing Permissions

May 17, 2012

I have a 1.8Ghz G5 (2.5Gb RAM) PowerMac here, running Leopard 10.5.8, which is used as a file server. The drives aren't RAIDed or anything. I am going to add a 2nd internal drive to it, and as a maintenance I decided to repair pemrissions before shutting it down.However, when I ran Disk Utility, I found that I cound't repair permissions at all. I could select the drive, click the botton, and the progression bar would go to the 'striped barber pole' effect that comes up as it is preparing to do something, but then it just stays there. I can cancel it, but no repairs happen.Any ideas how to get this to work or should I just use a 3rd party solution like Leopard Cache Cleaner? I'm not sure whether other software would just come up against the same issue.

Hardware :: Repairing Cinema Displays?

Jan 31, 2009

I've had little luck with getting uniform backlighting on the LED Cinema Displays, and after my second exchange, Apple wants to start taking a look at my display before I exchange again. Unfortunately I live a long way away from any Apple Stores, so driving up to one isn't really an option.

But in any case, getting a good display seems to be somewhat of a lottery - I've been wondering if perhaps a repair is a better option. I'm going to be moving to a city with an Apple store later this year - since that will fall within my 1 year warranty, do you think they'd repair my display later in the year? And can the ACDs even be repaired, or is it more of a replacement?
