First I tried to copy the contents of her HDD to an external HDD but got the I/O error time after time. Then I tried all the basic things like repairing the disk in Recovery Mode and try and verify/repair permissions in disk utility, cause I read that that could also help but that didnt do the trick either. Now I am trying to repair the permissions through the Terminal and http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/159585/getting-loads-of-open-error-5s-when-using-terminal-to-repair-permissions getting alot of detailed I/O errors. Also the progress bar is stuck @ 74% now. It doesnt advance only I get every 20 secs or so a new line with a new error. My original plan to try n save the data on the HDD has become too complicated for my skills so I'm in desperate need of help since it has been awhile since last backup. terminal disk-utility permission share|improve this question edited Dec 5 '14 at 21:10 dwightk 2,59851941 asked Dec 5 '14 at 21:02 MikeW 1613 I'd get the drive out into an external USB enclosure, attach to another machine as an external & try to clone it with CCC first; just in case it's dying. –Tetsujin Dec 5 '14 at 21:14 In other words, I need to open up the MBP, get the HDD out and attach it to my own PC in the manner you described, and try to clone its contents? –MikeW Dec 5 '14 at 21:24 Unless you can get it to fix from Recovery mode - but my hunch is it might be hardware fail imminent, so better safe than sorry. If you had a backup, you could be more cavalier, as you don't, then circumspect is the safest way to go –Tetsujin Dec 5 '14 at 21:26 1 I'm still not sure it was the wisest move.. & this backs up my thinking, from Linc Davis

APP: Monolingual 1.6.1 ISSUE: I ran Monolingual to remove all language files, except English/English(US). In the middle of the run, Monolingual became unresponsive. I waited 15 minutes then force quit the app. I tried running again, and again it became unresponsive. I force quit the app again. open error 5 This time the OS became so slow/lagging (spinning beach ball on every click) that it was almost unusable. I'd never experienced that before. I ran Disk Utility to verify file perms and received a litany of language file errors (too many to count), all similar to the following: Open error 5: "Input/output error" on System/Library/Automator/Delete Calendar Items/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/InfoPlist.strings I tried to repair disk permissions, but these input/output error files remain unaffected. I rebooted my machine, then it stopped working all together after reboot... won't boot - just black screen. I booted in Recovery Mode to ran Disk Utility and the same list of language files were identified when verified disk perms. I attempted to repair the hard disk, but the repair failed and the HD needed to be reimaged. CONCLUSION: Don't use this version of Monolingual on the hugely disappointing Yosemite. Owner IngmarStein commented Nov 21, 2014 Those messages from Disk Utility indicate that your disk may be failing and needs to be repl

I am running osx 10.6.8 on 6gb ram on one of the "rare" late 2009 aluminum body macbook (non pro). Since June I have been having problem after problem stemming from an update I had been putting off, Starting with a login loop that I fixed in safe mode. The problems that have been persistent since then is an overall decline in my macbook performance, boot-time, login time, initial startup, and normal running of my system (not heavy usage, just running mozilla with no other open programs in background) have all doubled or more in the time it takes to perform all of those tasks. During this "light" use of my system, there will be random freezes of the system that can either be triggered by me left clicking on the dock, or just out of nowhere there will be a hang (with pinwheel) for anywhere from 30 sec to 5 mins. I try to fix permissions and everytime I fix them the same permissions need fixed there are a lot of them. I have also since discovered that very few programs will run on my mac anymore: Itunes, Quicktime, VLC (occasionally), Symantec, iphoto. Those are just the ones I have tried so far. No error messages arise upon trying to open the programs just they will appear in dock (not bounce) with the light underneath them and the system will freeze, or nothing will happen a
