Mac repair incorrect number of thread records

After some successless efforts I finally tried to start with -v flag. At the end of the whole process I saw: There were three effforts to repair the disk, but then the machin just went off.

After some reading in the forum I found out, that the disk may be corrupted, so I tried to start with -x flag to repair the disk via the console. At the prompt I entered fsck -fs to start a repair, but unfortunately without success. Then I remembered that I might reach the disk utility by just using the boot stick with Multibeast.

Again I had no success. I ended up with that output: Now I really don't know, what might help now to save my mac! Does anybody have some advice? Have you tried to boot with Unibeast to the install screen and then try to run the Disc Utility to see if it can repair the disk? It is not clear what type of drive you have. A mechanical drive if failing often causes random freezes or intermittently will not boot. Allan Eckert Allan Eckert.

Mac OS X Speciality level out of ten: I would suggest you get and run DiskWarrior on it. As far as I know your only other alternative is to reformat the drive.

This will of course remove all data from the drive. So you will need to back it up first. Since this is your system drive, I recommend that you get an external Firewire drive and clone you system drive to the external. You can then boot from the external and run DW or reformat from there.

My MBP is less than a year old. I am surprised that I am already having issues with my HD. I am not sure if my MBP is still under warranty but if it is, should I try to repair it myself? Thanks again.

Thanks for your responses. Remember that Notebooks are delicate in the sense that one should never even move it without first putting the HD to sleep. Yes, we all ignore this rule, but the gyroscopic forces on the HD are quite high when it is moved, especially quickly or jerked or yanked while running. This is true with all NBs not just Apple's.

I had a drive fail on a Dell a few years ago when it was relatively new. They replaced it free of charge, but it was annoying just the same. It's possible that the HD is not bad, but that something else corrupted the filesystem, like an app run wild or even an improper shutdown.

And then even Apple NBs sometimes have early failures. The HD is usually the first to go, but the Optical Drive runs a close second, although they fail rarely, I am just recalling the failures from these boards which, of course, only report issues and failures, etc. I would take it to Apple and while there get a copy of DiskWarrior.

Then, I ran the 'verify' utility from Leopard after restarting the computer and everything checked out OK. Thanks again for all your tips. Good news! It's always a good idea to pursue all avenues until they are exhausted before either reinstalling or replacing hardware. Do you think the genius in the apple store will be able to help? Optical media, recovery HD or external drive would all boot your Mac in most cases. DiskWarrior comes on a bootable DVD, from which you then run the utilities.

Thank you very much. On Saturday I have an appointment at the Genius Bar. Jun 24 '15 at To add here I had the similar situation. The steps I took: Boot in single mode. Remounted disk in rw mode and deleted spotlight folder, then rebooted in single mode again. Nikolay Shmyrev Nikolay Shmyrev 4. Now that's some real Root Cause Analysis.

I tip my hat to you, sir. Linked 0.
