I keep getting messages to repair drive but when I click on the drive it defaults to restore What next do I do? Its not clear to me what to do next.
This is the second time I am having a problem after updating to Yosemite. IOS X10.10.01 I always check the disk before back up.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Hello wildbill41,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're getting prompted to repair the Macintosh HD, then please follow the directions in the article below for assistance.
Try Disk Utility
- Start from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).
If your computer shipped with a Mac OS X Install disc, insert the installation disc, and restart the computer while holding the C key.- If using a Recovery partition or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion and later): When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window.
If using an installation disc: Choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: If you started from an installation disc, do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must start from the disc again to access Disk Utility.- Click the First Aid tab.
- Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
- Select your OS X volume.
- Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Tip: With Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier, always start up your computer from an Install or Restore disc when using Disk Utility to verify or repair your startup volume. Otherwise, you might see some disk error messages.
