Hi khin199,


There are a few steps you can try to fix a disk management error 49244 on a Mac:


1 - Restart your Mac: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve various errors and issues. To restart your Mac, click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen and select "Restart."

2 - Check your disk for errors: You can use the Disk Utility tool to check for and repair errors on your disk. To do this, follow these steps:


    • Go to the Applications folder, then Utilities, and open Disk Utility.
    • Select the disk that you want to check and repair from the list on the left side of the window.
    • Click on the "First Aid" button in the top center of the window.
    • Click on the "Run" button to start checking and repairing the disk.


3 - Repair the disk using the Terminal: If the Disk Utility tool is unable to repair the disk, you can try using the Terminal to repair the disk. To do this, follow these steps:


    • Open the Terminal app, which you can find in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    • Type the following command and press Enter: "diskutil repairVolume [disk name]"
    • Replace "[disk name]" with the name of your disk. You can find the name of your disk by running the "diskutil list" command.

4 - Reinstall macOS: If none of the above steps work, you may need to reinstall macOS. This will erase all data on your disk, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding. To reinstall macOS, follow these steps:


    • Restart your Mac and hold down the Command + R keys while it is restarting. This will start the macOS Recovery utility.
    • Select "Reinstall macOS" from the Utilities window and follow the prompts to complete the reinstallation process.


I hope these steps help! If you continue to experience issues with your disk, you may want to consider seeking additional help from a certified Mac technician or Apple support.
