• disk space disk utility

  I'm really getting fed up with the OS x team. They killed another great utility in El Capitan "disk utility". Now it won't let me create disk or partition of any player images. It gives me the following error:

  "(null)" doesn't have enough available space to create the 'Home' disc image file Choose a different volume at least 125,49 GB of available disk space to continue.

  I intended to create the image of the score by one user profile (the user was not logged) on 2.7 TB of free space on the drive connected locally. I also tried a different destination drive (SSD) with about 300 GB of free space with the same result.

  Anyone seen this before? All solutions?

  They are really kill this great OS. If they continue to do so, I will give up this ecosystem in the same way I did with Microsoft 10 years.

  Some time ago, they said they're going with OSX UI to iOS. If that's true, then I better start watching another OS until they completely freeze my workflow.

  Great job Apple!

• My disk utility has no encryption option.

  I'm trying to format a USB key that I can encrypt.  But my disk utility does not have the drop down option for encryption. Can I have a utility obsolete? OS X El Capitan 10.11.5

  In the Finder, when you attempt to encrypt, I get an error message saying "A Partition GUID (GPT) partitioning schΘma Table is necessary".

  Suggestions please.

  You must format the disk with a Table of Partition GUID.

  You can do if you erase the drive with disk utility. Choose Mac OS extended (journaled, Encrypted) format.

  If you encrypt the drive without deleting the content, it's impossible because it is already formatted with a Table of Partition GUID.

  I was working with Pages where there was a power outage at the community level. A moment later, power came. Restarted the computer, everything (files, photos, etc.) came on the screen except Pages. Pages would throw not (the spinning Beachball of Death). Then, another failure. A few minutes later, the power came. This time when I turned on and booted, open Pages with the same file I was working in the same exact place just before the first failure. Now, my Time Machine disk icon does not appear on the screen. Disc utilities don't throw (the ball of rotation range). I forced quit and restarted. Still no disk utility. I have a boot disk, so I can't run a repair disk 'outside '. Where or what I'm doing here.

• I can't open my pictures folder. Error message says I don't have permission! I ran disk utility and found no errors. How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user.

  Suddenly, I can longer open my pictures folder. I tried to move a picture to the folder to see what is happening and received an error message saying I was not allowed to display the contents of the folder and if I move the picture here, I won't be able to see. I ran disk utility and found no permissions error.

  How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user. No one else has ever physical access to my computer. However, I sign up for Skyhub a few weeks ago and copied the contents of my Macbook it. Since then, a "Remote disk" icon on my hard drive. This would be part of the problem?

  Select it, choose get the information on the file menu, open the section sharing and permissions and give you access.

• I have little problem with my disk utility.

  Hello Sir/Madam...

  I have a little problem that I can't fix it.... so please can someone help me with this question, I can only explain with this image as an attachment, I thank those still and wish everyone the best chance.

  

  Make a backup, best 2 separated on 2 discs. Start of recovery volume (command - R on a restart, or hold down the option/Alt during a restart and select the Volume of recovery). Run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no error.  If this doesn't resolve the problem, try reformatting the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

  I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

  Replace your hard drive.

  You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

  The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

• 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.

  Say to Apple.

  Hard disks are disks for data storage that can be divided into one or more partitions (or volumes). RAM is a card that is placed in a memory slot in the motherboard. The motherboard may have a number of slots, often 2 or 4. As a backup of the system RAM memory will be temporarily store data in a file on the hard drive and it's virtual memory.

  Hard drives can be internal (inside the computer case) or external (outside the computer case).

  The system uses the RAM first, as it is faster to access, read and write, and for less immediate tasks of the system swaps out data for later use of RAM in the swap file on the hard drive.

  Not enough memory messages are normally because the system detects that there is a danger that it is shortly will have insufficient disk space to meet the needs of the system. It is perhaps because the allocated disk space is not enough to know that the allotted maximum play needs to be increased, or that there are not enough remaining free disk space to increase the size of the pagefile size. In your case, the messages are related to something else than the more common situation.

  In your case the problem is the Volume Shadow Copy service.
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy

  This service has disk space needs and the reserve system part of the disk only for its use. How it does and how to solve this problem, when things go wrong, is not commonly understood that is why I am fighting to give you simple instructions on how to solve your problem.

  A possible solution could be formatting your hard drive and a new installation of Windows and programs. It is a radical solution to what is an irritant, but probably not a problem that prevents you from using your computer. Reinstalling the operating system is not something I would recommend an inexperienced user company.

  What caused your problem? Most likely it was caused by your anti-virus program or a program like Registry Mechanic, or is the result of damage from malware (virus). You must uninstall Registry Mechanic by Add / Remove programs in the Control Panel now and we hope it's presence did not irreparable damage to the registry.

  What antivirus do you use? If it is Norton or McAfee that needs to go. Norton is particularly good to turn upside down the Windows operating system. If you have Norton you will need specific advice as the removal can be problematic. There are many appropriate freeware alternatives.

• 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.

• Internal HD not mounted and not disk utility

  Hi Mac community.

  I have an early 2008 Mac Pro with 4 internal drive bays.  For now, they are all busy with special various backup and storage drives.  One of my backup / storage drives (not my boot drive) does not appear as "mounted" on the desktop.  It does not also appear in the disk utility.  System information shows 'Unknown' for 3 Bay where the reader resides.  The missing disk is used to save another internal drive that stores the image files almost exclusively and is not a boot disk.  The missing disk is about 3-4 years of age and is called only in service for a few minutes a day when Super Duper asks it to do his homework, who will quickly backup.  In addition, Super Duper is not able to find the drive to back up either.

  I think one way to obtain the missing disk health trouble would close, exchanging one of the other disks in its place, restart and see if the drive and the system information utility recognize another drive in the Bay (#3) in question.  This way I know if I have a dead drive or if there is some other hardware problem associated with this Bay.

  This sounds like a good approach?  Are there other means within the system to check the status of the missing disk, (not start)?

  Thank you!  Mike

  Yes, it's an excellent course of action.
