Disk utility first aid operation was unsuccessful and iMac freezes when it is reloaded
iMac Intel Core (2010) 320 GB 4 GB of RAM. Running OS 10.11.6
Started computer, white screen appeared with the icon of a folder with an exclamation mark in the folder. Nothing else to do, so restarted iMac, hold down the command and 'r' to open disk utility.
Ran first aid, recommended "incorrect block are 1172 instead of 601. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed. "" "First aid running not a, if possible save the data on this volume. Click OK to continue. »
Discount to zero is successful, but screen is frozen with no access to the hard drive. I can't open the preferences system due to frost.
The circle of rainbow of spinning of death continues to run so I am not able to get any other repair mechanism.
Anyone have any ideas on how to proceed? The iMac is obviously not able to boot to the hard drive.
This probably means the HD has failed and must be replaced. How you proceed, is to take the computer to your local Apple authorized provider who can help replace the disk and get you back in business. If you are not aware of any local could be held, please click the following link to start to find one close to you.

Disk utility is suddenly really, really ugly and unusable (design problem)?
If you open disk utility, you will see that someone (probably an insider posing as an Apple employee) has replaced the entire program with their first year of college programming project, which they have done before, they heard on the guidelines or usability. For example, the info that had its place as details below in the main window, unnecessarily takes now a huge lock everything by himself, but the main problem I have is that when I go to create a new partition, there is some kind of a clock or a pie chart (I don't know who) was roughly (and with really ugly colors) attracted the window , and I can't seem to actually change the partition type (IE: GUID, Master boot, etc.). The icons are ugly too, featuring a snake Cobra on first aid, semi-finished button of Pac - Man with his mouth closed on the "score" button and a few other icons indistinguishable (I hope that nobody has been paid money to create those). Seriously, if I could not read, I would be screwed. I can simply not believe that someone approved this app to be redone in a confusion, no utility non-logiciel ugly that obviously never is not intended to be used more, but just to remind us that Apple wants to computers that will be layers of complexity with bad design characteristics, common that nobody should use under and power that was easy to use features buried down accessible with a combination of special keys, the Voodoo chant or the secret handshake with Tim Cook. I remember when it wasn't much, actually even easy, to do powerful things with computers. Now you can just do stupid things. Thank you Apple.

As he says, I had a difficult time with Firefox lately, and I think that it's corrupted. I tweaked the settings according to the suggestions on this forum and others like him, but they made the problem worse. I've updated to the latest version of the browser that has not helped, and I finally tried the "Reset Firefox" button, which was worse than anything. I lost my custom settings and Add-ons for nothing, the problem persists.
More frustrating is that it completely crashes whenever I click on tools > Options, so I'm not able to make changes to this new configuration. If I export my favorites safely, I will try to uninstall the browser and re - install an older version of it, but of course it now freezes when I try to export the bookmarks file.
Thus, apart from trashing it and starting over... any suggestions?
For the record, it's Firefox 28.0 (do not know what version it was the beginning of the sentence), and the window "On Firefox" said that it is up-to-date. I am running Windows XP.
Thanks for any help or enlightenment, you might be able to provide.
Hello
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

I can't reply or forward any e-mail. In addition, the disconnection is impossible when an e-mail is opened.
You can fix this by changing the configuration of Firefox. In the address bar type: subject: config

I just ran disk utility first aid. At the end he said "operation completed successfully" but just before which is has a few lines that I thought were unresolved. Is this ok?
Several lines first to check different things, then this...

File system check exit code is 8.
Successful operation.
It is not his success for me. Is this ok? Do I need to do something.
You want to update this. As a beginner with this tech stuff, I thought I'd do first aid has been only when the computer is running. I've since read that you run you reboot with 'command + R' starts upward. Chose my hard drive, then ran the disk recovery and first aid to repair, he ran and repair the hard drive. Then restart chose this screen, now is doing well!

El Capitan utility disk first aid fails - unable to unmount the volume for repair
Question: Given the following error with Disk Utility first aid and success with diskutil check volume, I should consider my drive damaged or volume?
After a crash of the system on my Mac mini (end 2012) running that OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 has experienced a kernel panic induced by the adapter USB Wi - Fi, I dutifully ran first aid utility disk on each volume on the disk, in order to ensure the integrity of system files.
What I feel with disk utility (GUI) first aid:

(underlining)
Additional information: I didn't have any problems with this disk volume. I use it only as a Time Machine backup destination. It is an encrypted volume OS X Extended (respect for case-sensitive). My concern involves only disk utility complaint that its "first aid process has failed."
After reading the complaints in other forums that utility disk on El Capitan has been "dumbed down" and can not perform many of the functions that the utility of the same name used to be able to perform in previous versions of Mac OS (complaints, I can't confirm because I'm relatively new to MacOS - although extremely in computing with Windows, UNIX and Linux) (, so I didn't get to use disk utility a lot, before El Capitan), I decided to do the same "check the volume" that I knew first aid was trying to perform with the diskutil command-line app. Guess what? No error!:

I think you might be able to do a repair of first aid, after you have disassembled the drive first:
- Run OS X by an external device (ex: USB mode, or external hard drive or disk target from another Mac)
- Launch the Terminal and run the following command umount f /Volumes/
- Then run disk utility first aid.
I had this problem on a Macbook Air, I tried to recreate the image to work, so I didn't need to get anything off the drive. I tried to format the drive and reinstall OS X. So I don't know if first aid work after disassembly, but it worked without a doubt after that I did the first two steps above and then deleted from the disk. Not sure if this will help, but worth a try, I guess.

USB drive will not appear in the finder, but is OK in disk utility
My "music backup" external USB 1 TB SSD showed in the Finder, until a few days ago, when he disappeared. I tried dismantling and Assembly of the command line. The said command-line editing is successful, but I still don't see the drive in Finder.
If I go into disk utility "First aid" reports no problem. The drive is formatted for OS X. If I right click and say "Open in the Finder" I can see all the folders and even drag in the sidebar where they work, even after a reboot. I can't see the drive at a higher level.
How can I fix it? I guess a solution would be to create a folder called "Music disc" and then move all files on the disc in it and then put it on the sidebar, but it seems silly. How can I get my hard drive appears again in the finder.
PS Si I use a third-party file manager, such as ordering a PRO, the USB drive is available for selection in the drop-down list of disks attached.
Help!
The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run:
the shell script ' chflags nohidden ' / Volumes/VolumeName /'.
put the name of the drive where is VolumeName.

Disk utility finds several files and folders after formatting external hard drive
It is somewhat an Enigma to me. I bought an external hard drive that I wanted to use to store my Time Machine backups. I formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled case-sensitive) without any problems, however, I noticed that disk utility indicated that I had 18 and 59 files (space used = 448,1 Mb)! I ejected the disc, it reconnected and utility found 64-19 records to disc now! How is that possible? What is going on? I used the 'diskutil list' command on the Terminal, and I found the following:
/ dev/disk2
#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,1 disk2
1: disk2s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB
2: Apple_HFS disk2s2 backup 499,8 Gb
I see there are 2 partitions, even if I made a partition during formatting of the drive. I don't know if this 'normal' or if I'm doing something wrong. I would be very happy any help you can give! Thank you very much!
It's normal. new disc format have information. When you start the firmware queries drives to see what is on them to find if they ae bootable

Make the disk image using disk utility and the message "Apple_HFS: 0" is displayed
I'm doing a disk image to try to work on that later. This is an image of a failed disk drive. Some areas can only be read, I know and the process takes a long time because of this, so I'm willing to be patient.
I get messages in the disk utility window that says "Apple_HFS: 0" and "Creation of image xxxx.dmg.
The disc has about 700 GB. I started it about 20 hours ago, and the blue bar is about 5% of the way, so not much happened.
I fear that the message "Apple_HFS: 0" means that the disk image is not made. I am concerned about the part "0". I don't know what that means.
I don't want to do it for days and days and find that there not to make a disc image all this time.
I realize that the fact that the external drive is damaged (probably damage) means that this process will take longer than normal. I am willing to leave it for a week so that he can make a disk image. But not more than a week because then it is not worth my time.
So my question is: does the message ' Apple_HFS: 0 "means something bad, or that the message normally during this procedure?
Apart from this message and the message "Xxxx.dmg imaging", there is no other message.
I think I'm making progress because the bar has moved since I started the process. For a long time I couldn't see a bar at all. And today, after spending the night, there is a small bar, as I said, about 5% complete. But it's very slow. It would take at least a week for the disk image to be made. I just want to know if the messages that I see are normal or not.

Fusion drive not bootable or mountable, although first aid shows fine
My end of 2014 iMac won't start anyway except the Safe Mode.
When I run disk utility, I see the "Internal" drive and volume "Macintosh HD": the two check-out OK if I run first aid on them. However, as you can see on the screenshot attached: it shows it as having 0 space and entirely consumed with the 'other' files and is listed as a bootable or write.
When I click "mount" nothing happens.
When I try to restore from my backup, Time Machine or re - install OS X, the drive does not appear as an option.
It seems to me that my next step would be to try to erase the disk, and then restore, but of course, I'm nervous about taking an irreversible decision.
My question is if disk utility "telling the truth" when he said there is zero space on the drive and it is not writable. Or is it another computer / drive State which could cause this appearance?
Assuming that it * is * the truth is "Erase disk" probably to work or I will probably have to reformat / repartition the drive? (Which is also nervous-making, since it is a drive of Fusion, and I believe can be tricky.)
First, are you able to start the computer in as-is? If Yes, then there is nothing wrong, and you don't understand on the managed basic storage disks. Or the disc is actually messed up because it appears that it is not mounted.
If you want to erase/reformat the volume, and then click the Delete on the toolbar.

Burn a DVD with "disk utility".
Before El Capitan (10.11.2), I was able to burn a DVD using "disk utility". Here are the instructions that I used. Disk utility has now a new version Version 15.0 (1511.3) and the statement no longer work. Can anyone update these instructions?
Copy DVD
Follow these instructions to make a copy of your DVD unprotected:
Insert your DVD into your Mac. Most Macs will automatically launch the DVD player. Once he starts, he gave up. You should see your DVD drive mounted on your desktop.
Open disk utility (Applications > utilities). Select the DVD drive in the list on the left. You will notice that there are two DVD icons - select the one slightly indented (this is the DVD itself, while the first is the drive).
Click on "New Image" in the main window of disk utility.
Choose a name and a destination in the window "Save as...". ». Don't forget that your destination should have enough space to copy the whole DVD, which can be more than four concerts.
In the window "Save as...". ', to ensure that the selection 'Format of Image' is set to ' CD/DVD Master' and the selection of "Encryption" is set to 'none '. Click Save.
After you have copied the DVD in your destination drive, return to disk utility. Your new disk Image will appear in the list on the left side of the disk utility window. The original disc of DVD on your Mac.
Insert a DVD disc that is accessible by writing in your Mac. Select your disk Image created in the list on the left side of the disk utility window. Click on "Burn" in the main window of disk utility. Choose your burn speed and if you want to check the data burned.
You will receive confirmation once you the DVD are engraved with success and you are all set with a new copy of your DVD drive. Just save your new disk Image and you can make a copy whenever you may need.
That is right. Apple has removed this feature FROM.
You can do it from the Finder

Disk utility says Everything is Fine, when it's not
I am trying to understand what the point of disk utility. I checked (several times) my boot drive (SSD) and a second internal HARD disk, disk utility says it all goes well and nothing in need of repair. Meanwhile, I can say drives are certainly * not * ok since I get poor system performance, and the HARD disk is sprayed randomly when I access/copy some files.
I went and got the SMART utility and Disk Warrior, SMART utility written my boot drive is FAILING and my HARD drive has FAILED.
I am now under DW on it, but I'm pretty annoyed that utility disk is essentially useless to see if there are problems with the discs...
Disk utility and disk warrior can only repair the files in the directory, they are unable to repair a disk that is physically / mechanically failing.
