That may be because Time Machine only reads files that have changed? Carbon Copy Cloner complained about bad sectors in files during backup, but Time Machine didn't.I suspect that might work if there was an initial formatting problem, but in this case I know existing blocks are going bad. Carbon Copy Cloner told me 3 files were bad. In a modern drive a single bad block in a file, especially a relatively recently written file, means replacement. From what I know now though, I didn't really need it.
#PAW PATROL EPISODES PRO#
I'm glad I bought TechTools Pro - I think I'll get good use of it.(See my backup issue post for a twist to this story.) That fits with Carbon Copy Cloner not complaining until recently. Based on the dates of the files that were involved the involved blocks went bad in the past month. Modern drives don't write to bad blocks.I bought this machine early in its lifecycle, I wonder if there will be more failures in this product line. 16 months is a short lifespan for a hard drive.
#PAW PATROL EPISODES UPDATE#
Update : Various notes and reflections the day after. (See Update - this drive is on death row.) If it doesn't I'll try the reinitialization. (My usual Carbon Copy Cloner backups are to an encrypted image for offsite transfer, so not bootable.) I'll make a bootable clone before I do that. Since it's not a user serviceable I'll probably bring a new drive and the machine to FirstTech in Minneapolis for a $200 24 hour turnaround replacement. If the drive were user serviceable (like my old G5 iMac!) I'd simply replace it. My i5 iMac is 24 months and 2 weeks old - so it's past even my AMEX extended warranty (by two weeks!). I'm seeing the overflow, including blocks that went bad after they'd been written to. So the bad blocks I see now are probably a small fraction of the number that have already been mapped out. If a low level reinitialization fails, this indicates the drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If they are, then the drive is probably failing and you should consider replacing it. We suggest, however, that you do a Surface Scan a few times in the next month or two just to be sure no new bad blocks are developing. If the reinitialization is successful, the drive should be fine at that point. This may take several hours (depending on the size of your drive). Be sure to choose the Security Option to "zero out data." Choosing this option will map out bad blocks, if possible, during the reinitialization. You can use Apple's Disk Utility to reinitialize your drive. When the drive is reinitialized, the entire platter is accessible so that bad blocks can be mapped out if possible no matter where they occur. If this occurs, TechTool Pro will report a bad block and you will ultimately need to do a low level reinitialization of the drive. It will do this unless either the bad block is in a critical area that cannot be mapped out at the moment or the bad block table is full. The drive controller in them automatically tries to map out bad blocks as they are encountered. TechTool Pro should not normally report bad blocks for these types of drives. Unfortunately, a modern SATA drive shouldn't have any bad blocks. After all, 56 out of 1.8 billion is minuscule. TTP also found bad blocks - 56 (so two less than Disk Genius, but I don't make much of that either way). It one-upped Disk Genius as it found bad blocks it told me which of them had files (none in this case). Andy M clued me to a MacUpdate bundle, so I got TechTool Pro 6 for $50 (plust a bunch of other apps I don't care about). Yes, the Mac needs an OS level uninstaller.)
(Incidentally, Disk Genius has a built in uninstall feature - very nice. That seems a modest number, but DG said I needed to replace the drive. It found about 58 bad blocks - out of 1.8 billion.
#PAW PATROL EPISODES TRIAL#
Disk Warrior has a good reputation, but Disk Genius has a trial version. So I checked out Disk Warrior, Disk Genius and TechTool Pro - 3 reputable diagnostic apps. Then I ran my Apple Hardware Test - extended, and loop mode.
#PAW PATROL EPISODES DRIVERS#
(Most non-trivial diagnostic work requires a wired keyboard and mouse Apple's bluetooth keyboard/mouse drivers may be unavailable when needed.)Īfter I deleted the bad (non-critical happily) files I ran Disk Utility - but the drive passed. It was time for some diagnostics, so I plugged in my old Apple Keyboard and mouse. That suggests my 24+ month old 1TB iMac drive is dying youngish. I knew from some backup issues that I had 3 unreadable files.
#PAW PATROL EPISODES SOFTWARE#
(Once upon a time software was the cause, but these days it's hardware.) In the Mac world, that suggests a hardware problem. I've been having suspicious application crashes lately.
