    Corrupt Disk0s1? Worry? No Worries?

    Well . . . I may have written too soon. After transferring everything after all of that, I did not realize that formatting the Int-HD [of Doom!--Ed.] as CASE-SENSITIVE journaled would mean a few necessary programs would not work on it! *Pours some coffee . . . discards it for wine . . . starts...

    Corrupt Disk0s1? Worry? No Worries?

    Granted, I would state that I probably was not dealing with the Super Qualified Techie--someone working a Chat Function--but said Not So Super Qualified Techie understood the problem. I just needed to know that a corruption would not propagate to lead to the Belgian Invasion™ and that does not...

    Corrupt Disk0s1? Worry? No Worries?

    Solution? It is basically impossible to erase the EFI and Recovery partitions unless you are in Mavericks and try really hard. I know this because the one actual discussion on this involved someone who did just that. So after all of this I wanted to confirm my Firmware updated. The particular...

    Corrupt Disk0s1? Worry? No Worries?

    With all my searching I have been unable to come up with a answer as to whether or not this is a problem. If it is "OHNOES UR HD GONNA DIE!!!111!11ELEVENTY!" then, fine, I have my clones, I will clone more frequently, and start threads about "should I get that 1TB SSD rather than the now very...

    Corrupt Disk0s1? Worry? No Worries?

    My system is what it is in my signature. The Int-HD is a Seagate 1TB SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache if that helps. I back up everything on two clones so all is safe. Out of the blue I receive an error from my Disk Warrior "missing resource." Boot to a clone to check...

    Osx 10.4.11 Log In/password Creation ... Help Please ...

    Though since the forum look has changed this may not seem relevant. The Gurus need: 1. What Mac you have. 2. The specifics of your Mac: Ram/Hard Drive/Processor/et cetera. See my signature--and many other poster's signatures. That information is very important. If you follow this: it...

    The new 10.10 Yosemite

    Well . . . the Mail program worked, but not enough other things worked--like Safari. I blathered about that on another thread. I do not like the "look" but then I like my own icons, and all of that stuff. I mean . . . it really is all about me. . . . --J.D.

    Official Yosmite Thread! :)

    That may be true, but it is a significant difference--since "correlation is always causation damn it!"--but more seriously, Safari ran slooowwwww . . . and repeatedly hung. The significance of that is my Safari is pretty lean and I was not opening multiple tabs that were all running videos and...

    Official Yosmite Thread! :)

    Not so much a problem but a general observation: it appears a memory hog. As per the signature I have 16 G RAM. Rarely do I use half of that. Sometimes when rendering video as I am running a browser full of highly necessary addons--oh look! A video!--et cetera--I will I noticed Safari ran...

    Quicktime Player Can't Open An .mp4 File

    Not having had your problem let me wildly speculate for paragraphs as an excuse to avoid real, actual work. . . . :) Get VLC: Linkypoo. That may solve all of your viewing problems and you can ignore the rest of this. And, frankly, it tends to play better than QuickTime. Safe and reliable. If...

    Before I upgrade MacBookPro to Mavericks, I would like to be able to launch Snow too

    Actually . . . you may be able to run Snow Leopard on it. My current machine came with Lion long ago. I had cloned my previous computer's drive, then erased and then copied the clone to it. Voila! This is despite the fact that the current machine never had Snow Leopard "originally" on it, and...

    messed up computer (10.9.3) after migration to SSD - permissions or java problem?

    Sneaks in, grabs a glass of wine and a sandwich I will not pretend to have a better ability to diagnose your problem better than those who have responded BUT from what you have written you indicate that you used SuperDuper! to clone your drive. I also use it, and I have never had a problem...

    Palm Compatible with Mavericks?

    Dude. As Resident Luddite--"In MY Day, You Wanted to Listen to Music, You had to REWIND!!11!"--I held onto a Palm for quite some time. I was very angry when Palm "refused" to support "OS 10"--"what is this strange thing? OS 9 is good enough!"--and there were various "patches." This was back...
