• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!

  Just because you don't know what you do does not mean that there is a problem with disk utility.

• 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 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.
