• Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

  Hi all

  I want to improve my HD to SSD.

  I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

  I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

  It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

  Thank you

  Adam

  No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

• Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

  My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

  My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

  Any advice?

  Thank you!

  Apple have this to do a USB installation...

  Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

  Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

  You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

  Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

  Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

  On macOS recovery - Apple Support

  Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

  I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

  You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

  OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

  A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

• Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

  I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

  Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

  If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

  If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

• 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.

• Disk utility reports hurt his stats in recovery mode

  I have a 2 TB HD in my iMac which is only about 10% full.  Disk utility reports 1.81 TB free, just like in the finder get info tab.  My Time Machine backups are about 190 GB in size as well.  All of this is consistent.  When that I start by pressing command-R however, disk utility reports that the HD is full.

  I bought a new SSD and that you want to replace with the SSD HD, so I need to restore to the SSD HD, then Exchange.  The SSD is only 500GB, then disk utility fails restore - he thinks that there is not enough room.

  Anyone encountered this, or there at - it another way to clone the HD for the SSD?

  I have a late 2009 iMac 11.1 El Capitan 10.11.6 running with an i7 2.8 and 12 GB of RAM and 2 TB HD.  (Originally, he arrived with Snow Leopard).

  Thanks for any help.

  I would like to give CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper a try.

• Beachball of death / impossible to find movie files shown in disk utility

  Then, I started having the awesome beachball.  All the time.  I tried first aid utility disk, in addition to empty my cache dyld.  Seems to have worked.  Looking for a solution to this as well as when I ran disk utility, it shows that I have 380 + GB of movies.  And hoping the clearing space will decrease the appearance of the beachball if nothing else.

  I realized that I had a bunch of movies sitting in a folder I have is no longer necessary, so I deleted, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted.  Twice.  And disk utility still shows that I have who have lots of space consumed by the movies.  I did a search through the fichiers.mp4/.mov/.m4v/etc finder and come up with very little.

  Is there something else I can / does not?  I'm not really wanting to download third party software however.

  And it is solved after leaving it alone for a while.  Probably just needs some behind the scenes stuff to happen.

• Drive external hard Mac has shown in the past but does not now show in disk utility. How can I get it back?

  I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.

  I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.

  I hope someone can help.

  Hi willy of San Jacinto.

  I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.

  Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:

  OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work

  If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

• 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.

• Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

  Questions

  1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

  2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

  Background

  Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

  -Start in SafeMode: does not work

  -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

  -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

  Disk utility error messages

  Most often, I get this error:

  The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

  Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

  Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

  Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

  I also received this error message once:

  Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

  Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

  Save the files to external hard drive?

  Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

  When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

  I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

  More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

• Disk utility doesn't work do not at all

  The problem started with my iMac (10.11.6) slows down. I rebooted, it worked fine for a while, and then the problem comes back. I tried three times to use disk utility, but every time it's the same thing: the start box appears on the screen, i. by "tap" first aid, then... nothing. Nothing at all. I then tried to force out the utility disk, but for some reason any Force Quit option suddenly didn't work. Everything I had was the ball Beach and the non-functioning du box. So what's happening? Virus (I have Trend Micro, but nothing is perfect)? The age?

  Uninstall Trend Micro anti-virus software. It is not necessary on a Mac and is probably causing the problems you describe with disk utility.

  Third party software anti-virus is not necessary on a Mac and cannot cause problems.

• I can't find "score" in disk utility.  I used it when I implemented the system.  Thank you.

  I don't find the Partition tab in disk utility.

  It is not a.

  Partitioning of a hard disk:

  http://www.Kenstone.NET/fcp_homepage/partitioning_tiger.html

  To resize or add/delete an existing partition without data loss, you need to use, for example, iPartition:

  http://www.Coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php

  But first of all it is important that you first save all partitions on a separate volume, any loss of data.

• First aid disk utility

  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...

  Down keys

  Down keys

  Missing thread record (id = 75075057)

  The Macintosh HD volume was found damaged and must be repaired.

  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!
