Disk Utility Internal Error
FCP froze while rendering. Couldn’t force quit FCP. Forced quit the G4. (Power button 5-seconds) Ran Disk Utilities (repair premissions) stops about a third way through. Box:
Disk Utility Internal Error
Disk Utility has lost connection with the Disk Management Tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility.which I do and can’t get by that. Re-booted. Rebuilt desktop. Zapped PRAM.
Can’t find ‘Disk Management Tool’ Don’t know what it is.Maybe re-install ‘Disk Utility’?
Running smooth for a long time. Editing, for me a long show, half hour.
Have run Disk Utility many time (repair permissions) System has been very stable.Video on Firewire 800 drive, through PCI card – LaCie d2 Extreme LUN 0 300. Been running good
Only thing I worry about sometimes is that I formated MacOS Extended but forgot to turn ‘Journaling’ off. After lots of video loaded didn’t want to go back and re-format.
Running smooth for a long time. Editing, for me a long show, half hour 150 gigs of video
Any ideas. And thanks.
G4, 10.2.8, dual 1 gig, 1 gig RAM, FCP 4.5HD,

Do you have iTunes 6.0.2?
There’s some problem with it and Disc Utility I’ve heard. If you can go back to 6.0.1 that should fix it. Try download.com or someplace like that and see if you can download an old version. Erase your iTunes app and load the old one. (Your music and library directory are kept elsewhere, they should be fine.)
Then, I guess, just wait for 6.0.3 before you update it again. I would think something like this would get fixed in the next update since it’s a pretty major problem.

If Jeffs recommendation doesn’t solve your problem, I would highly recommend Disk Warrior, it has revived our machines many times.

Thanks Jeff,
That’s odd. I just downloade the iTunes upgrapde (6.0.2) yesterday.
It came with the automatic download thing. So I just did it. Never had a problem with Disk Utility before. I’ll see if I can get back to 6.0.1I’ll let you know.

I can’t get back to iTunes 6.0.1. All the downloads are for 6.0.2 the latest version of iTunes. Why or why did I update. I need Disk Utitlity back. I forget which number comes with my software. 10.3.8 which runs great for my editing.

Do you have a Tiger disc? It has version 4.7.1 on it. Put it in and open the “Optional Installs” file.
That will set you pretty far back in terms of iTunes features but it might be worth it to get Disc Utility back just until the next iTunes update comes around.

It’s definitely a conflict with iTunes 6.0.2 and Disk Utility. Go back to iTunes 6.0.1. and you’ll be right as rain afterwards. OR………..you can delete the Mac chess game. Don’t ask me why this works, but it does. Curiouser and curiouser……..

I put iTunes 6.0.2 in the trash. Ran Disk Utility/Permission Repair. That worked. Then drug iTunes out of the trash and back into the Apllications folder. Seems to work and doesn’t take but a second or two. Now to wait for the fix. Thanks for the help.

Ha ha! Great idea.
The problem is that iTunes is running something in the background that interfears. What, I don’t really know.
I guess by “trashing” it for a little while you prevented that process from running. Oh well, it worked!

[Jeff Carpenter] “The problem is that iTunes is running something in the background that interfears”
Jeff, I think it might be that new iTunes process called “iTunes Helper.” Of course, this is just a guess and someone would have to conduct a test to be sure. What it does is to monitor your listening habits and then when you go to the iTunes Store a raft of similar tunes will be pulled up for you. Some will like this new feature and some will call it spyware. In any event there’s an option to simply turn it off within iTunes. I guess you know what I’m thinking now, don’t you? Will turning off iTunes Helper fix the Disk Utility issue…….
