Help to understand a warning in disk utility

• Guys, help me understand this: allocation of disk error

  Hello guys, would appreciate if you help me understand this problem:

  Recently, I deleted my windows 7 x 64 VM, but allocated to this machine (60 GB) disk space DOES NOT seem to be deleted, and it takes a lot of space on my Mac Air. How can I get rid of this disk space? Attach this photo...

  Please, help me to understand this problem. I'm sure GB 63,92 come from somewhere, I don't have such a quantity of files on my Mac.

  BTW if the output of the command is nothing that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

  Also, you might need to take a look at the floppy graphically using a software like disk inventory X as it might make it easier see what fits "The other".

• After you download El Capitan, I received the following error message when you try to install: the drive is not formatted in MAC OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help?

  After you download El Capitan, I received the following error message when you try to install: the drive is not formatted in MAC OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help? (My disk utility shows that she in MAC OS extended (journaled) format.)

  It shows that it is Mac OS extended, not journaled. Click enable logging in the toolbar.

  The thing you read is if you format the drive using the RAID settings you have selected. You have to look at the bottom of the window where it shows the Format.

• 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!

• Mac disk utility mini reports of failure of the SMART State

  I have a Mac mini that I bought 4-5 years ago and have been using it without any problem.

  However, yesterday when I try to wake my mac mini I get a black screen with only the cursor.

  I force turn off the system and restarted, and then use disk utility.

  I immediately noticed that the only partition of my Mac mini is highlighted in red, and the SMART status showing as failure.

  There is also a warning saying that my hard drive has a hardware problem that cannot be repaired and suggested to save all possible files.

  When I try to make the permissions and disk checks, all reports like OK.

  I'll do a backup in case where, but curious, it is always possible to use Time Machine to back up to this point?

  I also need to back up my settings browsers and programs if it is still possible. Any help is very appreciated.

  Make a backup as soon as you can - Time Machine or a bootable backup: s-for-making-a-bootable-backup.html http://www.macworld.com/article/2461362/drive-cloning-utilities-the-best-mac-app

  In case of loss of data already, there is no doubt not that you can do about it now. Replace the disk as soon as possible.

• Major problem of disk utility, think I have bricked my MB :(

  MacBook Pro 2014

  Please help with this, I don't know how I managed to spoil it. What can I do to fix? Did a clean install and tried to erase the disc. Yes I know I'm a total fool... to try to create a new empty but still fails with etc - 61. I'm out of my depth here. IM myself kicking. At the moment I have installed OS x on an external HARD drive which I use to this post. IM so afraid, I broke my computer, my mother will kill me!

  I have a 16 GB USB key where it remains the way to using that? I'm out of my depth here.

  

  Hello MSC7XWDC,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message correctly you are trying to do a wipe and installing Mac OS X on your computer, but you're stuck on the part when you create a partition for it.  Because the partition has been erased, you will have to create this boot partition following the instructions below.  Once this is done, you can go through the installation process.

  Partition a boot disk

  If you want to partition a disk that you will use to start up your Mac, follow these steps.

  Partitioning a disk erases all files on the disc. Don't forget to copy the files you want to keep to another disk before the partition.

  You can specify the number of partitions and the size of each of them. If you want to use your Mac OS X startup disk partition, don't forget, it is large enough to install the Mac OS X software and applications, and the files that you will use.

  1. If you are partitioning an external drive, make sure that it is connected to your computer and proceed to step 5.

     If you are partitioning of the disk that you used to start your Mac, print this page so that you can refer to it later. To print this page, select print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).

  2. Choose the Apple menu > restart. Press the command (⌘) keys and R as your computer restarts.

     When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the Middle, you can release the keys.

  3. In the Mac OS X Utilities window, select disk utility and then click on continue.
  4. Select the disk you want to partition, click Partition.
  5. Choose the number of partitions in the pop-up menu Configuration of Volume.
  6. Click on each partition and type a name for this, choose a format and type a size. You can also drag the separator between the partitions to change their sizes. If the name of the partition has an asterisk next to it, it is shown larger than actual size in order to display his name clearly.
  7. If you want to use a partition as a Mac OS X startup disk, click Options, and then choose it the GUID partition scheme.
  8. Click on apply.

  After you partition a disk, an icon for each partition of disk appears in disk utility and in the sidebar of Finder Windows.

• Disk utility will not let me click on the partition.

  I've updated to El Capitan, disk utility since refuses to let me click on partition.

  Accidentally, I partitioned my disk flash before I updated and so I need to cancel, because now I have 200 MB of storage on it.

  I tried using terminal but I have been unable to fix this way, too.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you

  Make sure that all your files are backed up. Accidents happen and I'd hate for you to lose all data.

  Are you trying to repartition the boot disk? If I understand correctly, your hard disk is currently partitioned, and you need to recover a single correct hard drive?

  You can't repair the disk hard while you use the hard disk. To get the partition on a single disk, boot from the recovery disc.

  Restart the computer and press immediately on and hold command-R until you see a loading bar, and then release the keys. Once the recovery disc starts, choose your language (if it asks you to) and then again open disk utility. Now, select your hard drive and delete the extra partition. It should tell you "this will not affect your files...". "but if he says that you will lose all data, STOP. Make sure that you remove the extra partition without data on this subject. I'm guessing that it's called "Untitled 1" or something that affects unless you named it something different.

  Hi joecuv,

  The error is returned by app installer from Apple OS X uses to extract and install the .pkg package files.  I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of the application of the program installation, and after some searching found a user on the Apple Discussion site with a similar error, when trying to install iTunes. This user has managed to install iTunes after the safe boot mode.  When booting in SafeMode Apple prevents some startup items and other third party charging software and performs a check to start the drive.  This could allow the utility to install extract and install the software successfully, therefore, I recommend trying this approach.  It may or may not work.

  Please read the complete instructions for use and/or print them before continuing.

  1. Download and save the installation program offline posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the section "problems".
  2. Disconnect all wired devices that are not essential to the functioning of your computer.
  3. Restart your computer in safe mode, see OS X Yosemite: start in safe modeand log on to the user account with the problem.
     • Start in safe mode will take more time as normal and things look/will not work the same when connected (by graphic example may seem different, wireless/network may not work, etc.).
  4. Proceed with the installation of Flash Player using the installer downloaded in step 1 offline.

  If Flash Player is installed when it is started in safe mode restart as usual (on the same account used in step 3) and ensure that it works in normal mode.

  • Once connected, launch the browser and go to the help page at step 1.
  • Click on the "Check now" button  The widget will display which version of Flash Player is installed.

  If it works, you'll want to determine which startup program or a third-party software interferes with the installation utility so that you can properly install other programs in the future.

  If you get the different, or even the application setup error when you try to install in safe mode, I recommend you contact Apple for assistance that the error comes from their utility application.

  Please post back here if this did or didn't work for you.

  Thank you.

• 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 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.

• Disk space lost once disk utility has frozen.

  Hey guys, I have a little problem and I think that you guys can help me with it.

  Yesterday I tried to install windows 7 and while I was partitioning my HD, disk utility froze and I was forced to leave.

  When I opened the app again, I noticed 222 gb have disappeared! I tried Googling a solution but could not find anything that could help me.

  

  I honestly don't know what to do more, so if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

• 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.

• 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.

• My MacBook does not start and fires after the Apple logo. I received this error via FirstAid detail in disk utility.

  Hi Apple/community,

  I need a help.

  What it means? Operation failed! My MacBook Pro does not start. It cuts after the loading screen. What will happen?

  

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Well, it seems that your MacBook Pro hard drive has failed and cannot be repaired by disk utility.

  If it works, try to repair the disk with this command:
