  • Disk Images Failing to Mount: Reason - Broken Pipe

    Ever since the recent 10.4.9 patch, I have been unable to install .dmg files onto my MacBook. Everytime I try to execute a .dmg file, I get the following error:
    Disk Images failed to mount:
    Program: Messenger602.dmg
    Reason: Broken Pipe
    I have absolutely no clue as to what it means. I've used the Disk Utility in order to repair the disks and permissions without any luck. I've restarted my computer a couple of times and that failed. I've also checked the forums on the subject and there were some topics on the subject but none of them were able to fix my problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

    It turns out that the 10.4.9 patch didn't install fully and corrupted some system files which is why I was unable to open .dmg files.
    I just ran and Archive and Install and everything works fine now!
    Hope this helps to anyone who has the same problem

  • Disk Imag Failed to mount Reason: No such file or directory

    Hello,
    I've been trying to download firefox and msn messenger for my mac!
    Everytime i try to launch the .dmg it says 'Failed to mount' and the 'reason' is 'No such file or directory'
    This happens with everything i download!
    I dn't know what to do!
    I've searched it, found some soloutions but nothing works!
    Thanks Steve

    I've had this happen before, if I remember correctly it's just because of a corrupt download. Try downloading the .dmg files again and they should work. The other problem is it may be a permissions error. Where are the files located that you're trying to mount? Try putting them in your home directory. My first guess would be a corrupt download though.
    I was suprised to find no information in the support database, or on google for this erorr with disk images.
    Hope this helps.

  • Disk images failed to mount - codec overrun

    Hi,
    So after searching through the related posts I have been unable to correct my probelm, which is:
    I am unable to open some .dmg files. I have tried to open three different .dmg files from a variety of sources and they all return the same error:
    disk images failed to mount - codec overrun
    However, I was able to update my system to 10.4.7 using the updater. This did not solve the problem. I then tried load the combo version of 10.4.7 as suggested in a different post and while it didn't load (I accidentally grabbed the powerPC version) it was able to open the .dmg and look in them.
    Disk Utility is unable to attach the three that won't open. The first two Disk Utility was unable to verify or repair. The last (a cars game demo) was successfully verified but still came up with the codec overrun error when I tried to attach it. Finally I have tried removing the following two files and then restarting, to no effect.
    /System/Library/Extension.kextcache
    /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
    I'd appreciate any help offered. A search on codec overrun was of no use. I searched for "mount failed disk images" and variations of that to find what I have already tried.
    Thanks
    Pete

    I am havin the same problems. codec overrun
    I am trying to download stuffit from their site so I can open a program for school.
    I tried to download the dmg file from the apple site but was given the same error. Codec overrun
    Also I attempted to get the updates from the Apple site.......same error.
    So far this computer will not download much of anything without some kind of an error. Essentially this Imac is a $2000 jukebox. It does play music wonderfully.
    My roommate was able to downlad easily from the same internet connection with no problem the windows version of the program from te same site.
    This is a brand new out of the box iMac. 20" 1 gig 250 GB machine. First Mac for me and it is turning into a real headache.
    Any help with the codec overrun would be appreciated.

  • "Disk Images Fail to Mount/ OS X 10.4.10/Security Update 2007-006?"

    Whilst downloading the most recent Mac OSX Update, 10.4.10 to a PPC G3, 600 MHz, with 1 GB SDRAM, I received an un-explained error message. Since then, my USB Web Cam doesn't function, some applications don't load, and I consistently get a Warning Message that disk images fail to mount as device not configured. Moreover, I got the distinct impression the aforementioned issues were related to the problem of installing Security Update 2007-006 which was roughly released at the same time.
    How can I proceed to get matters back to normal? Would deeply appreciate advice from Apple Forum/Technical Support person(s) in all convenient speed. SOS!
    Yours sincerely,
    Joseph.
    Power PC G3   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   How do I uninstall the 10.4.10 update?

    The problem took a somewhat bizarre twist when I got a phone call just after double clicking on a disk image file set to open with DiskImageMounter. When I came back from the phone call (about 2 minutes), the disk image was mounted, the MacBook wasn't frozen, and everything worked. With repeated testing, it now appears that both DiskImageMounter and Disk Utility hang for 65-75 seconds after starting the process of mounting a disk image and then complete the task successfully. Deleting the two cache files eliminates the hang (spinning beach ball), but only for a short while.

  • Deleted disk image generates warning that disk image failed to mount

    When I got a new MacBook a month ago, I created a disk image to share an iPhoto library on the same computer. Now I am using an external hard drive to share the library. I deleted the disk image in Disk Utility, but when I start up I get the warning that the disk image failed to mount.
    Any ideas?

    Deleting the disk image from the trash seems to have fixed the problem.

  • Disk image failed to mount.

    Hi,
    While updating the latest Intel update for a Macbook Core duo 1.83, the progress bar got stuck near the end and so I did 'force quit'. Ever since then I am unable to open .dmg files. I get this message " The following disk images failed to mount". " 'application name' broken pipe".
    What can I do to fix this problem?

    It's hard to say if your disk image problem is related to the force quit install. There are disk image problems with 10.4.9 that you can encounter even if the install was successful. I am running into them and so are some users reporting on MacFixit.com (scroll down to Disk Images Not Mounting).

  • When I attempt to download Firefox 3.5.10 I get a warning stating "disk image failed to mount - corrupt image", what can I do?

    Ran into this problem this afternoon. Had to download after the latest version failed to start after progressively becoming a bit tweeky. Got the failed to mount message also broken pipe, even though I am running 10.4.
    I went into Mac OS Updates and downloaded the latest version of Java Script. After restart I was able to mount the new Firefox and it seems to be working now.

  • Tiger 10.4.11 update install reads disk image fails to mount

    i've been trying to download the tiger 10.4.11 upgrade and when i go to open i get the following disc images failed to mount and a reason of item not recognized. i'm at a lose considering ti've downloaded the update several times with my slow dial up and tried disc utilty to correct it, all i want to do is use my new ipod nano but need to upgrade my itunes which means i need to upgrade my software please help pretty frustrated.

    Would the same error occur if the update being downloaded is for an intel based computer and not the PPC, which is what is needed?
    Here's the page for the 10.4.11 combo PPC download
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    Depending also what level of 10.4 you are presently at, downloading smaller combos/increments, may seem time consuming, but actually work better with dial up service. I was once dial up myself, and went through the same difficulty. Also with doing it this way, you would have to repair permissions with each download, and reboot if any were repaired. There would also be numerous security downloads, too.

  • Disk Image Won't Mount - Reason: Device Not Recognized

    As I've searched the discussion forums, I've seen plenty of postings for "Disk Image Won't Mount" and for "Device Not Recognized" but not the way I'm seeing it on my laptop.
    After a backup and restore, my mac will no longer mount any... and I mean any images. I have downloaded several security or software updates from different vendors and each .dmg file will not mount. I still have the .dmg files in hopes that after I get this problem solved, I'll be able to install them, but...
    It always gives the same reason for not mounting and I'm at a loss on what to do next. I've run Software Update hoping it will be a quick fix, but have had no success.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Using FireWire disk mode, I put a disk image of my entire iBook onto my iMac as a back-up. (For an unrelated problem, Apple told me I needed to erase my iBook completely and do a clean install of the system.) Well, I screwed something up. I don't know what exactly--maybe I didn't "put away" the device correctly, but the next day when I flipped on my iMac, the disk image of my iBook was just gone, and not to be found anywhere. I finally succeeded in restoring the image using TechTool, which scanned the entire volume of the iMac for directory information. And it's all there, because the img file is more than 10GB. But when I double-click on it, I get the following error msg: "The following disk images failed to mount...reason--not recognized." I've checked the app it's supposed to open with, permissions, and run Disk Utility volume repair. No dice. Any ideas??? Did I mention that this is EVERYTHING I had on my iBook???

  • Disk images failed to mount: not recognized.

    I recently had to reinstalled Tiger. Now none of the updates will mount (single or combo). I've tried everthing suggested in discussions and nothing work. This all worked fine before and I'm using all the same software or less. The only thing I can think of is Apple changed something to get us to buy something. Why am I spending so much time doing their trouble shooting. I need to get to work. I might as well go to XP! Sorry fellow Mac users for my ranting. I just so bumbed out. Apple use to be something. Now I don't know what the heck they are. If anyone has any new solutions; please post. I'm back to 10.4 not 10.4.4
    My error message is: Disk failed to mount. Reason ( not reconginzed)
    Thanks

    No, Apple didn't change anything to get you to buy something. You sound like you have a hardware or software issue that is affecting the ability of the Disk Utility to mount images.
    Note these tips for upgrading, and if you are unable to upgrade using these tips, I suspect a hardware or software issue somewhere:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    Caches are the first suspect. You might want to try creating a second administrator account and install from that.

  • Disk Images Fail To Mount - Code Overrun

    I'm having a problem with mounting disk images on my iBook G3 500 running OS X 10.4.8. (same problem with 10.4.6. and 10.4.7). I can only seem to mount one disk image per re-boot. After mounting one, the rest give me codec overrun errors until I restart, and then I can mount one more. I have re-installed Tiger on this computer multiple times, with the exact same problem everytime. I just recently installed a new hard drive - same problems. I'm also unable to install software updates via the built-in software update utility (bad checksum error). Any ideas?

    Anyone have any ideas? I'm also having problems with programs frequently quitting when I'm right in the middle of doing something.
