OS X V10.5 Leopard :: "Incorrect Block Count For File"
Apr 19, 2012
It has, in fact, gotten worse and I need to start the thread again. Earlier, I started up my computer and noticed that is was very slow to boot up, the Dock was missing and it was generally slow and unresponsive. Also, the machine would not shut down or restart unless I forced it to with the power button.
" Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
[code]....
Is this something very bad? I goggled "incorrect block count" and I see some other people have this issue even just today (though not exactly the same).

I recently got a new iMac and restored it using a Time Machine drive to be identical to my old one. This has all gone pretty smoothly, but for some reason mail says that one of my accounts has five new e-mails, and another one has two. When I receive new e-mails these increment, and when I delete them they decrement, but they only ever go down to five and two.

I'm using Mail (Lion) with my Gmail account. The current number of Flagged messages (the Starred messages in Gmail) is inaccurate. Messages that show up as unstarred in the Gmail web interface remain starred in the Mail app -- I've confirmed this with each message individually.
I should add that if I look up Flagged messages in the Smart Mailboxes list, I get an accurate count. I just don't see a correct count in Reminders > Flagged.
Apart from deleting my account and re-downloading everything, is there something I can do to make the Mail app perform correctly? I had been using Sparrow but I'm tired of that app's ridiculously slow start-up speed.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro 17" with OS X Lion (10.7.2) preinstalled back in January of this year (2012). I migrated my user accounts from my old MacBook Pro 15" (2008) running OS X Snow Leopard. Almost right away I started having issues of all sorts, including Admin accounts that wouldn't allow me admin priveledges, hidden user groups, apps that wouldn't run, multiple obscure error messages and a host of other issues. After scouring forums like this one I used Disk Utility and not only discovered innumerable permission errors but also disk errors like these:
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 1656658 instead of 1656636)
Invalid volume directory count
(It should be 345764 instead of 345743)
Invalid volume free block count
[code]....
And now, this morning, after a month or two of all that... and after installing the Java Security Upgrade last night, I can't get into my accounts at all. On first boot-up it hung for 20 minutes before I shut it down. After running Disk Utility from Recovery Drive and repairing the drive I rebooted and got the log-in screen. I clicked on my user icon, typed the correct password, was shown they white/grey screen for a few flickering seconds then was brought back to the log-in screen. I rebooted to the Recovery Disk, ran Disk Utility, saw all the same errors again, repaired the disk, rebooted and got the same problems with logging in again.
I've repeated this cycle five times today, as both a normal boot-up and in "Safe Mode" all with the same results. I've repaired the disk using Disk Utility from Recovery Disk as well as accessing the disk in Target Mode, and always there are the same errors needing to be repaired.
I don't buy that I'm dealing with a hardware issue. My antivirus and security software are all up-to-date. What the heck is going on? Why do I keep having these disk problems? Why can't I access my accounts anymore? Why does it keep hanging during boot-up? Why am I about to throw the machine out my bedroom window?

My wife's macbook pro started shutting down by itself randomly, so i performed Disk Utility Verify Disk and found these errors: Invalid volume file count(It should be 800651 instead of 800653)Invalid volume directory count(It should be 191005 instead of 191003)The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired. Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed. As i do not have the Mac OS Leopard disks physically with me, I target-disk started her mac on my mac, and use my mac to run Disk Utility on her hard-disk, and repaired the disk without problems.
However, this is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. After the 1st time, i figured something is causing it, so i checked this forum, and found that for some, the Blackberry Messenger app causes programs, so i promptly uninstalled it fully (including associated system files) and this problem didnt come back for a while. Or could this be a sign the hard disk is physically failing soon? It is out of warranty now. We have regular Time-machine backups. We are actually kinda waiting out until the new line of macbook pro's come out..

I've run the disk utility verify disk several times and come up with an error (post title) indicating I have a corrupt HD and need to repair. I've rebooted with command R and run disk utility to repair the disk and it says everything is fine. Reboot to normal mode and verify continues to show the error.
Other info says the file system exit code is 8.

I seem to be getting an error message when i run Disk Utility, it says "Invalid Block Count, your disk is corrupt and needs to be repaired". I then repair it using the Lion recovery disk and it repairs it. Maybe a month or so down the line it appears again I then do the same and the end result is the same, can anyone help with this as it is worrying me. Also is there any way you can get rid of the bad sectors in the HDD when problems appear?

I've noticed something: when I use 'view info' on files on my usb memory stick, the file size is much bigger than when I use it on the same file on the desktop.
For example: I've got a gif file on my memory stick. Using 'view info' on that file it says: Size: 32 KB on drive (7.129 bytes)
When I copy that same file on my desktop it says:
Size: 8 KB on drive (7.129 bytes)
Which makes more sense. Why does it give 32 KB for a 7.129 bytes file when I vied the info on that file on a usb memory stick? It does that with all files on usb drives. The 7.129 bytes in this case seems to be the true file size, but for some reason 'view info' adds a significant file size to it.

My computer will be shared for a couple of weeks and there are certain websites that i need to block... Let's say i want to block facebook, heres what i did:
Opened up terminal, then typed 'sudo nano /etc/hosts' Added '127.0.0.1 facebook.com' on the bottom, having them separated with TAB instead of spaces Pressed ctrl+o and enter to save the file, then ctrl-x to quit the nano thing. Then i typed 'dscacheutil -flushcache' for changes to immediatelly take place Quit terminal
Am i doing something wrong here? I can still open facebook.com in Opera after those steps.... Am i missing something?

I am pulling my hair since friday trying to get my MBP's time machine work with a 1TB drive connected to a early 2009 AEBS. First I spent half a day doing the first backup by connecting the hard drive directly to Mac using USB and later when I connected that drive to AEBS, time machine would not recognize the drive as the same one and I had to spend a good part of yesterday backing up my complete drive again.... and just when I thought I can rest easy knowing that my eternal dream of getting time machine work wirelessly, I saw time machine complain that there is not enough free space left to backup my paltry 103 GB worth of data on just second day.
Turns out, the Time machine backup volume (volume created by time machine on the AEBS disk) shows that the used space is 1TB.... but the size of the sparsebundle is only 103GB and my airport drive mount itself shows plenty of free space (800GB).... I have tried to search for similar problem, but I couldn't find much help... can anyone help me out here....
Btw, when I tried to repair the volume in disk utility, it says something about incorrect allocation blocks and then says it cannot repair and I need to backup and reformat the drive or something of that sort....

I recently ran a ‘verify’ scan in Disk Utility as a precaution after Word crashed. An ‘incorrect number of file links’ error message showed up, as well as a prompt to repair this using Disk Utility from the Recovery HD. However, when I do a scan from the Recovery HD version of Disk Utility, no error messages or repair prompts appear.
My questions… Is this something to be concerned about? How can it be fixed? Would it be best to do a clean install of OSX? I only lost a little bit of data so I was pretty lucky.

I am having problems with Preview and Snow Leopard. I can use Quick View to view jpeg files, but when I open them with preview. It does not display the correct image. It just displays a gray block. The only way to resolves this is to delete the preview prefernce files, and then it works. But after a couple of restarts it goes back to not displaying the correct image.

Mail on my Pro suddenly says incorrect username and/or password. Resubmitting password does not help. Mail is fine on my iPad and Phone. I can also log into the mail's website with no issue. Until now mail has never been an issue on my Mac. I tried deleting and re-adding the account. Get the same message when it tries to verify the login during setup.

I was wondering how do you block phishing scam emails from Mail (which I thought was full proof for this kind of junk emails)? Because quitely frankly the ones I'm receiving are irritating me largely because they're from banks I don't even have accounts with, also they're about internet banking which I don't even do. I've tried marking them as "junk mail" and then deleting them from my trash can in mail. This doesn't seem to stop me from receiving them?

In System Preferences/Security/Firewall the unchecked box below "Block all incoming connections" has 4 entries set to "Allow all incoming connections". Do these entries & their settings matter since the "Block all incoming connections" box is unchecked?

Today I went into my bookmarks page and decided to see if anything was in RSS, The only thing was google news. So I double clicked on that, it took several long seconds to pull up google news. When I back out to my bookmarks page I noticed that the number of bookmarks next to bookmarks bar said zero or nothing! It should have said 6101! Does anyone know why this would happen?

Im wondering whether its at all possible to display word count as one of the columns in finder or if there is a program that will let me do this? Basically in compiling a dissertation spread over 40 or so words docs and i need to be able to keep a running tab on word count. Continually putting them all into one big word doc just to grab a total is very time consuming.

My 11 month old macbook pro (2011) was recently sent under warrenty for Harddisk SPIN RETRY COUNT value increase. They changed the harddisk and installed new Toshiba harddisk. Which ran 100% S.M.A.R.T health for two weeks and now it is showing same Spin retry count problem. I am thinking its not the harddisk but something else is causing the problem( may be power supply problem). I am from nepal so it takes a lot of effort to send it in for repair.

Any ideas on this...my Imac (2.16 Ghz. running system 10.6.8) has bee having difficulty in starting up (lost of hard drive noise and crawling to start up) lately and I have Drive Genius 3 as a diagnostic tool, so I ran "Repair" and "Verify Permissions" and came up with the message" Permissions Error : ARDAgent. app....I gathered some info on these boards to use the app Pacifist (V 3.0.2), to re-install the ARDAgent and it should clear up the problem...followed the plan, ran Verify Permissions in Drive Genius 3, which said it was repaired...I then ran Verify to confirm and came back with Verify Failed, Invalid Directory Count, should be 38 instead of 39, and should be 47 instead of 45...But am getting the same results when I run Drive Genius 3 which is the Volume is repaired, but the Verify has failed.... A real stumper...any ideas? Also just up graded to Firefox 12.0 which is when the slowdown started to appear

13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 battery wasn't holding a charge based on the fact that its been used and abused since 2008. Around the same time (2 months ago) my MagSafe power supply started becoming frayed and damaged. So, I decided to buy both a new power supply and battery. I bought the power supply from Apple.com and the battery from Best Buy. Ever since my new purchase I no longer get a count down on my remaining battery level. It either says (charged) or (Not Charging) based on if I have the power supply plugged in. If I leave the power supply out and the battery dies it no longer goes into the power save mode. Now it just turns my laptop off. I have tried a couple things like SMC reset but no luck. Any suggestions? Maybe I am doing the SMC reset wrong? I unplug the MacBook and take the battery out and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. I cant tell that its done anything. Another problem that started happen more recently.. When i close the lid of my MacBook it seems that its no longer going to sleep. The fan is running high and the battery dies..
