In fact, last month I used DW on my friend's Mac which was getting an "Invalid Node Structure" message along with apps that didn't launch and a Java update that wouldn't install and PRESTO, no more problems.
Not to mention, apps that won't launch or not being able to install updates, etc. I've been using DiskWarrior every month or two along with Cocktail every week or two for years on all my Macs and have never received any error messages when verifying or repairing permissions on the hard drives. However, DiskWarrior will repair invalid file permissions and damaged boot blocks, and rebuild and optimize the directory structures which are located on the drive, just to name a few.
My first question for the tech guy at MacMall would be, if DiskWarrior doesn't repair drives, what does it do and do well? However, if one wants to be a purist, of course DiskWarrior doesn't repair drives and neither do the rest of the mentioned utilities. How do I get to SINGLE USER MODE with the OS X 10.4.11? Is there anything I can do to repair the disk, short of saving all files then erasing the disk, and starting over?Īs you may have already perceived, I'm no expert. And let it sit for about a minute, before rebooting a fourth time, and again trying the DISK UTILITY, and again getting the above message. So after holding down the C and the S keys for several minutes, and still no black page came up, then I gave up waiting for it and shut down the computer manually. But the computer monitor stayed GRAY color, without switching to BLACK. So I must force-quit to exit iPhoto, and re-open each time I want to edit a photo, unlike before I up-graded from OS X 10.2 to 10.4.11.Īdditionally, I tried, unsuccessfully, going into SINGLE USER MODE, by rebooting again, this time holding down both the C key and the S key. If I edit one photo, it does nothing more. Other than that, my computer seems to be working okay, except for the iPhoto. And again I got the same message as above. But when I got to the DISK UTILITY page again, this time I did the other of the three things, before re-running the disk repair again. The volume Mac OS X could not be repaired after 3 attemptsĮrror: The underlying task reported failure on exitġ volume could not be repaired because of an errorĪfter I got that message, I shut down, then restarted manually after waiting about ten seconds, rebooting from the OS X 10.4.11 install disk as before. But it stopped near the end, giving me this message: Then I clicked on the REPAIR DISK button, and let it go through the scan / repair cycle. Once the DISK UTILITY opened, I selected the OS X 10.4.11 disk. I followed standard procedure, by booting up from the OS X 10.4 install disk, selecting UTILITIES, then DISK UTILITIES.
I tried, unsuccessfully, using the computer's utilities program to repair the disk.
