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.

Mac os x 10.4 11 install disk
