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.

  • When the FAILURE of the Worker.State occurs in a task?

    How detect that a Worker.State has no PU occurs in a task? or say when the FAILURE of the Worker.State occurs in a task? It's when an exception occurs in the task call() method?

    Consider the code below:

    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.net.URI;
    import java.net.URISyntaxException;
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.net.URLConnection;
    import javafx.concurrent.Task;
    
    
    /**
     * Background task to fetch the all classes documentation page from a URL
     */
    public class FetchDocListTask extends Task<String> {
      private final String docsDirUrl;
    
    
      public FetchDocListTask(String docsDirUrl) {
      this.docsDirUrl = docsDirUrl;
      }
    
    
      @Override
      protected String call() throws Exception {
      System.out.println("---- FetchDocListTask  docsUrl = " + docsDirUrl);
      StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
      try {

      URL url = uri.toURL();
      URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
      urlConnection.setConnectTimeout(5000); // set timeout to 5 secs
      InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
    
    
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
      new InputStreamReader(in));
      String line;
      while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
      builder.append(line);
      builder.append('\n');
      }
      reader.close();
      } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      }
      return builder.toString();
      }
    }
    

    When the State.FAILED occurs? In fact, I want to write a code to detect everything simply if the computer is connected to the internet. Hope to help ~

    Yes. If the call() method stops due to an unhandled exception, the condition of the property becomes IMPOSSIBLE. If a return statement is executed successfully, the ownership of the State passes to SUCCEEDED. There are no other possibilities.

  • Today my Macbook Pro could not start.  He showed me the ban or no symbol.  I was able to access disk utility and run first aid on the SM0256G of SSD Apple media successfully.  Cannot start in normal/safe mode.  Should I delete/install so I can?

No help. I was unable to restore two separate backup.  The utility show me backups however when I would go to the next screen and no backup is available.  Disk utility displays the SSD.  Can I erase the disc and download OS X install?  Thank you.

    At this point, there is no need to delete. A new copy of Mac OS X can be installed directly over the old copy. This process replaces the components of Mac OS X on a file by file basis and adds missing ones, there will be no major throwing away what anyone, unless there is a power failure.

    You have already run disk first aid.

    Now use mode of recovery (command + R to start) to "Re-install Mac OS X. It should install the latest revision of the main version that you ran last.

  • SSD does not appear in the disk utility when you try to reformat the MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to reformat my Macbook Pro (mid-2012), because I had the folder with a question mark by trying to turn it on. Once I started the recovery process online and open disk utility my SSD does not, so I can't delete it or reinstall the OS. Any help would be appreciated.

    (Since 1) isn't the SSD with the disk utility program and 2), you get a folder with a question mark when you initialize I would say that your SSD is dead. Unfortunately, probably looking to a visit to your genius of Apple.

    Hello

    To me, it seems that your HARD drive is dead.
    SMART stands for self-monitoring, analysis and Reporting technical and it s a feature that reports errors with your HARD drive.

    The error is clear to me; a fault has been detected on the HARD drive.
    Now, the laptop can not boot into the Windows operating system because the operating system is not found. Why? Because the HARD drive seems to be dead.

    In my view only new HARD drive could help!

  • Cannot change the value in the report url column in the select statement. Help, please

    Suma,

    If you try to generate a column with a URL, try something like the following:

    Select the key, num,
    -case when Attachmentcnt (KEY). = 0 then
    ' f ? p = & APP_ID.: 91: & SESSION. : "": NO::P91_KEY, P91NUM, P91_PREVPG:'
    || tableA.key | ',' || tableA.num | ',' || : P91_PREVPG
    Another null
    end
    FROM tableA;

    But the best way to spend these would include values of checksum against the values of your parameters (to ensure that a user is not hack them). You will need to check the manual of the Apex for more details - see "Understanding Session State Protection".

    Good luck

  • Samsung EVO850 plus disk Util is not smart

    HI -.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 "late 2011, for which I bought a 1 to Samsung EVO 850 SSD."  I want to replace the internal MacHD with the SSD.

    I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.  Using disk utility I erased the SSD and reformatted using OSX journaled Extended.  The process took seconds to complete.  However when I check the S.M.A.R.T. status on the SSD TO THE shows 'not supported '.  Also (probably part of the same problem) - if I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block.

    -What is the problem?  I don't know that this EVO 850 is compatible with this MBP.  Disk utility is quite simple.  But the result is not SMART.  Did I miss a step?  How can I reformat this SSD to support the Smart function.

    TIA your entry,

    Josh

    -What is the problem?

    The only thing wrong with what you mentioned is your understanding of it. everything works as expected.

    I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.

    in general, docking stations, in individuals and external drives do not support SMART status.

    Smart seemed like a good idea when it was invented, but it fell away, far from being useful. It indicates usually that your reader has a hard time AFTER that the car exploded. Or he reports that your drive is about to die, three years before his actual death.

    If I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD, I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block".

    You cannot copy the Volume Mac OS X is running to use the copy of disk utility that is on the Source Volume. Disk utility insists the drive mounted, so that no one else has the ability to change the contents of the disc while you are copying. You can't unmount the disk because Mac OS X is started from, so you cannot copy the path you want.

    If you want to make this copy, start under Recovery HD (which is another partition on your boot drive) and use the disk utility it. Then you can copy the Mac OS X Volume (but not the Volume of recovery HD, because it will be busy.

  • 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.

    If the disc is not visible in disk utility, you can try to connect to another computer and check it or reformat if all else fails.

    a disc formatted in anything other than extended journaled Mac will not be usable with Time Machine. If you need to reformat the drive in NTFS or FAT or ExFat, format Windows PC then reconnect to the mac, once the drive is recognized, reformat with extended Mac.

    It is also possible that the drive is dead. If it is still under warranty it can be replaced, but manufacturers don't offer a premium-free data recovery. see the manufacturer's Web site. you will need the serial number of the drive.

  • SAMSUNG SSD 850evo cannot be read on the disk utility

    My macbook pro 13 "mid-2012 has been very slow (20-minute boot) for the past month, so I quickly looked for a cure and thought I have a failing hard drive.

    I bought a Samsung 850 Evo 250 gb to replace the failed drive. Following the useful tutorials on youtube, I managed to install the ssd in my macbook pro. However, when I use the recovery of internet to install OS X on the ssd, ssd seem does not appear is not in the list of drives available in disk utility.

    Can someone help me why it does not appear in the disk utility?

    Get out the SSD drive, install it in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP via USB.  Install the original HARD disk and start the MBP.  Open disk utility and make sure that the SSD is displayed.  If so, you can format it and clone the content for the SSD from the internal HARD drive, if you wish.

    However, when you install the SSD drive and if it does not start the MBP, indicating that internal SATA cable needs to be replaced.

    If the SSD does not appear in the disk utility when it is connected to the outside, then that indicates that the SSD is defective.

    Ciao.
