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 http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/159585/getting-loads-of-open-error-5s-when-using-terminal-to-repair-permissions 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 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
that may be more effective at solving some problems than the better-known one? It saved my bacon today, and it might be able to solve nagging Home folder problems for you, too. Read on. Earlier this week, I suddenly had problems saving http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2011/09/want-to-really-repair-permissions-on-your-mac-try-this/ files on my MacBook Pro. No Apple-created programs would save changes to existing files. I could create documents in programs like Pages or TextEdit, but when I tried to do a Command-S to save (or, as it’s called now in Lion, Save https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/please-help-10-6-8-issues.55228/ a Version), I’d get an error message saying simply that the file could not be saved. Even more alarming: I’d get a similar message when Lion’s new Autosave feature tried to save a new version, telling me I wouldn’t be able open error to save the file “until the problem is resolved”. Of course, the error message didn’t say just what the problem was . . . Gee, thanks, Apple! Interestingly, I could save files in non-Apple applications, such as Microsoft Word 2011. The paranoid part of me wondered if this wasn’t just because I was attending a conference devoted to Windows 8. I tried a variety of things to fix it – rebooting, running a Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility, saving the file in different open error 5 folders. I created a new account and tried saving files there, and had no problem. I posted my problem to Apple’s support forum and to Twitter. I got some helpful suggestions, including deleting a couple of .plist files and running Repair Permissions after using CMD-R to boot into the OS X Repair Utilities. Neither worked. This morning, I finally had some time to call Apple’s tech support service. (Mac support closes in the evenings, but support for iOS devices is 24/7. What’s up with that?) I talked to a very patient and friendly support advisor named Jeff. I told him all the steps I’d taken, including the fact that I’d created another account where saving worked just fine. Upon hearing that, he had a suggestion that taught me something new. Apparently, when you use the Disk Utility in Repair Permissions – a standard troubleshooting maneuver in OS X – it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder. That’s where your documents and many applications reside. There’s another Repair Permissions tool hidden away in Lion, and Jeff directed me there. This tool is squirreled away for some reason inside an obscure password reset feature. Here’s how you use it. 1. Restart Lion, and before you hear the chime, hold down the Command and R keys. 2. You’ll be at the Repair Utilities screen. Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal. 3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword a

I have had it for about a year now and everything has been working swimmingly, not a problem what so ever. Then all of a sudden it has just started throwing endless amounts of problems my way. It started a few days ago when on boot I got the error message boot 0: Error completely out of the blue. It would then occasionally boot into OSX, when it did it was highly unresponsive and very slow. I ran a disk verification which showed the HD was corrupt, so i rebooted, and repaired the HD disk from Disk Utility, booting from iBoot and then SL DVD - Disk Utility. After loading back into OSX I found the system was still highly unresponsive. Eventually after this continued I decided to just do a fresh partition and install of SL (which proved to be a nightmare due to the DVD being scratched and therefore unable to copy some .PKGs) from a partitioned disk image of the SL DVD. The install went fine, all updates were completed and it seemed like the system was running fine. Then bam, once again Im receiving endless errors on boot, including: boot 0: Error, and, EBIOS read error: Device timeout Block 0x44aaa 80 Sectors 0, and, EBIOS read error: Device timeout Block 0x64028 80 Sectors 0, occasionally it will get past this and boot anyway, when it does its VERY slow and hangs for long periods of time on startup. Once again I loaded Disk Utility from iBoot then the DVD image, verify disk - disk OK. However, when I selected repair permissions I got: Open Error 1: "Operation not permitted" for ALOT of different items, and then also: Open error 5: "Input/Output Error" for many different items too. Eventually ending up at: Error: Permissions verify or repair failed. I have run Memest86 and this showed up no errors. I don't understand why this has started happening or what can be done about it.
