Apple AirPort Utility is a third party application that provides additional functionality to OS X system and enjoys a popularity among Mac users. However, instead of installing it by dragging its icon to the Application folder, uninstalling Apple AirPort Utility may need you to do more than a simple drag-and-drop to the Trash. To address this, MacOS has a built-in tool called Disk Utility that lets you run First Aid on your Mac's disk. It can also repair issues with disk partitions and start-up processes. The Disk Utility application has its own toolbar that you can toggle on and off. Click Window→Hide/Show Toolbar to display or hide the toolbar, or Window→Customize Toolbar to select which icons inhabit the Disk Utility toolbar. The volume tree structure on the left of the Disk Utility window lists both the physical disks and the partitions that you’ve set up.
Disk Utility can find and repair errors related to the formatting and directory structure of a Mac disk. Errors can lead to unexpected behavior when using your Mac, and significant errors might even prevent your Mac from starting up completely.
Before proceeding, make sure that you have a current backup of your Mac, in case you need to recover damaged files or Disk Utility finds errors that it can't repair.
This is how to get onto your utilities folder on Mac and how to see your RAM. This two part tutorial will show you how to locate the Applications Folder and Utilities Folder on your Mac computer. Part 1 shows how to find the Applicatio.
Open Disk Utility
Start up from macOS Recovery, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities window. Click Continue.
If you're not repairing the disk your Mac started up from, you don't need to start up from macOS Recovery: just open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Hwh ap2260 manual.

Locate your disk in Disk Utility
Choose View > Show All Devices (if available) from the menu bar or toolbar in Disk Utility.
The sidebar in Disk Utility should now show each available disk or other storage device, beginning with your startup disk. And beneath each disk you should see any containers and volumes on that disk. Don't see your disk?
In this example, the startup disk (APPLE HDD) has one container and two volumes (Macintosh HD, Macintosh HD - Data). Your disk might not have a container, and it might have a different number of volumes.
Repair volumes, then containers, then disks
For each disk that you're repairing, start by selecting the last volume on that disk, then click the First Aid button or tab.
In this example, the last volume on the disk is Macintosh HD - Data.
Click Run to begin checking the selected volume for errors.
- If there is no Run button, click the Repair Disk button instead.
- If the button is dimmed and you can't click it, skip this step for the item you selected, and continue to the next item.
- If you're asked for a password to unlock the disk, enter your administrator password.
After Disk Utility is done checking the volume, select the next item above it in the sidebar, then run First Aid again. Keep moving up the list, running First Aid for each volume on the disk, then each container on the disk, then finally the disk itself.
In this example, the repair order is Macintosh HD - Data, then Macintosh HD, then Container disk2, then APPLE HDD.
If Disk Utility found errors that it can't repair
If Disk Utility found errors that it could not repair, use Disk Utility to erase (format) your disk.
If your disk doesn't appear in Disk Utility
If Disk Utility can't see your disk, it also can't see any containers or volumes on that disk. In that case, follow these steps:
- Shut down your Mac, then unplug all nonessential devices from your Mac.
- If you're repairing an external drive, make sure that it's connected directly to your Mac using a cable that you know is good. Then turn the drive off and back on.
- If your disk still doesn't appear in Disk Utility, your disk or Mac might need service. If you need help, please contact Apple Support.
Hello,
The issue I'm having is the following:
First my set-up when it was working just fine 30 mins ago.
MacBook Pro 15'
Bought in 2011
Originally with Lion 10.7, upgrade through AppStore to 10.8 currently on 10.8.4
Filevault enabled in Security, so my drive is encrypted
Activated guest account with safari access only Which macbook air has touch id.
How To Find Utilities On Macbook Air
What happened is that I was using the machine just fine, I logged off and gave another user access though the guest account. The dialog came up said that it needed to restart the machine so that it would present a safari only interface. Clicked OK and this is where I am at.
The machine rebooted into the recovery mode (Mac OS X Utilities) and I have tried everything, and I cannot get back to my normal login screen
I've tried to go into safe mode I still get the recovery mode.
I've tried to reset the PRAM, it asks me for my filevault password I give it and I still get the recovery mode First cut editing software.
