Having a reliable backup strategy makes events like this a non-event. Hard disks are cheap, and backups are essential. I do recommend that you extract its data, then replace the drive.Ī failed HD will fail again, every time. Most likely, your HD is already in a failed state, so I don't recommend relying upon it. To be clear, Apple's Disk Utility accomplished what TTP could not. I decided to run the Mac Pro in Target Disk mode and run Disk Utility from my laptop on the suspect disk - it repaired (or so it says) the disk and now I'm copying ("restoring") all contents onto another disk that I can run further tests on later. Your very complaint illustrated that it was unable to do that. TTP and similar utilities may be used to "repair" a damaged HD for the purposes of extracting whatever data remains intact, after an irretrievable data loss event has already occurred. Solution: erase the volume, if it happens again replace the drive. An example is the following: ad-blocks-what-do-i-do7 TTP is also unnecessary in that it conveys no benefit. On the other hand OS X updates will very frequently reveal incompatibilities with third party software, especially those that modify the Mac's operating system. Lacking an overwhelming response from a representative sample of millions of Mac users running the latest OS X release, any premise that the update caused this problem must be logically flawed. You also asked if anyone else had been similarly affected. In that case the Apple Support article is the appropriate place to begin troubleshooting. You explained that your Mac was unable to start. I realize you considered my response unhelpful, but my answer remains unchanged: uninstall it. Now is there a chance you could find another moment to explain WHY TTP is such a problem ? I've used it for more than 10 years and it's only been an asset.
