How to eject disk image without needing it to run a program

When ever i install a program from the internet such as Skype an image appears on my desktop...when i eject it and open Skype it says i cannot use it because i need it.how do i get rid of the image and still be able to use the program?
Thanks-

The sequence usually goes something like this:
1. Download the disk image or package.
2. Open or Double-click the disk image.
3. Install or Drag the application into the applications folder.
4. Eject the disk image or package.
5. Run the application from the applications folder, keeping it in the dock if you choose.
I say this without knowing specifically how Skype works, but this is generally how programs install.

  • How to eject disk image Pro.sparsebundle

    My time capsule does not allow me to backup or select it as the disk, the error message is
    The disk image "Michael's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use. Try ejecting the disk image.
    What do I do?
    Thanks

    This is quite a complex "fix"
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes and try another backup.

  • How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

    If I'm using FCE:
    1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
    if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
    do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
    Now PC, going to a MAC user soon   Windows XP  

    Hi(bonjour)!
    As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
    12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
    If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
    As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
    If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
    iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
    Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
    As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

  • How do I get an Internet Explorer on my Mac OS X, I need it to run work programs?

    How do I get Internet Explore on my Max OS X, I need it to run work programs?

    If you are running an intel machine, you have Boot Camp on your machine, use it to install Windows on the partition it makes, and then you can use Internet Explorer.  If you don't have an intel, you can use a virtual windows program, something like Parallels or VM ware.

  • How do I create a start-up disk image without restarting from the Install DVD?

    (I know this is not MacBook Pro question per se, but I can't find a software discussion this applies to.)
    Situation:
    My MBP is running, but it's acting up and Onyx tells me that the start-up volume needs repair and directs me to use Disk Utility.
    But to repair a volume using Disk Utility, you must restart from the original Install DVD (or some other start-up volume).
    But although the MBP will read my old Leopard Install DVD and the Install DVD that came with my MBP, it refuses to restart from either of them. (Trying to do so gets as far as the Apple logo on a gray screen and then hangs there; all disk activity ceases.)
    Question:
    How can I (is it even possible to) create a start-up volume on my external FW drive without starting my MBP from a DVD?
    In other words, is there a way to either:
    a) create a disk image from the Install DVD on my external FW drive and then designate that disk image as my start-up drive?
    OR
    b) create a disk image on my MBP's internal drive that I can then use to run a System Install on my external drive?
    (BTW, I know I can create disk images using Disk Utility, but it offers many options for type, compression, etc., that are beyond me. )
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs.
    Restart your Mac holding down the Command-R to enter the Recovery HD.
    From there you can use Disk Utilty.

  • How to load an image without a gui? big problems...

    Hey guys, I usually try my best to not ask for help and figure stuff out myself. But this last week i've been having big problems with this work project.
    My goal is to load images from disk, and append them to each other to create one big image.
    The images are 0-9.jpg each file containing a number in it. then i create one big file with 4 numbers in it. called final.jpg.
    so far i can do all this, but whenever the program is finished, the application just keeps running. the program has literally gone through all the steps... i have a system.out.println printed on the last line after the main, after the class instantiation... and still it stays running.
    how do you guys load images without a gui? This program will probably be running under unix, so i can't create a (for component example)
    Panel() and media track the file load... so i'm pretty much stumped
    any help you guys can provide would be really incredibly helpfull at this point. I have searched these threads for a few hours without luck. I found only 1 real post related to my problem, but eventually they said use MediaTracker = new Mediatracker( new Panel() ); which i can't use. :(
    Thanks a lot guys.
    :D

    yeah tried doing that, didn't work either.
    UPDATE
    I FINALLY found a way...
    and here it is for others to find!
    public BufferedImage getImage(String filename) throws Exception {
    FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream( filename );
    JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder( input );
    BufferedImage image = decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
    return image;
    it returns an image buffer, but it's better than nothing! :)
    atleast this functions under unix.

  • How to best arc image without distortion to fit curved cup template?

    I have tried searching forum for this and I know it has been discussed before but not really finding what I need to do correctly.  I have attached the layered image (reducing opacity so you can both template and image). The vendor provided me a flat template, not a path, to do my artwork. As you can see I need to arc the image without distorting to fit a cup template. I am more comfortable in photoshop but I can export to AI if necessary to complete which appears what I need to do via envelope distort from what I keep seeing. However, the template provided is not a path. I tried to trace template shape manually with pen tool and use envelope distort to arc my image to conform but it looked very distorted and no even close to what I was trying to achieve. I tried to do tradition arc warp in photoshop but it still seems to distort proportions. Steps on how best to do this would be much appreciated! I know there must be a easier/more efficient way to achieve this.

    I would not trace the template and will simply use it as a visual reference for deforming (conforming) the image to it. You can make the template image transparent to certain degree using the Transparency panel so you can see through it then move its layer on top of all other layers and lock it. Scale and position your image in such way that at least two of its corners fit two corners of the template for example the two top corners and then its bottom edge is on the same level as the template.Then select the image to be deformed and in the control panel at the top of your screen click the Embed button which allows you to deform the image (edit: just noticed you wrote it is already embedded, so skip this).
    Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make it with a Mesh. and chose 1 for rows and columns. Make sure the Smart Guides are on (View > Smart Guides). With the Selection tool (white arrow) Shift click or drag a selection box to select the two points of one of the vertical sides of your image. Pick the Sheer Tool and first just click on the selected top corner point to set the reference point of the sheer then click and drag the corresponding bottom point to match it to the corresponding point of your template. You may hold Shift while dragging to constrain although the Smart Guides will do that by snapping to edge of the envelope if your mouse is close to it. Repeat this for the other side of image. To make the image curved, pick the Selection tool (white arrow) click a corner point which will display its handles, pick a handle that is on a horizontal side of the image and pull it up to deform the shape referring to the template. You may do this first roughly with all horizontal handles and then you can drag guides from the ruler when a handle is selected to snap a guide to it and use it to put the corresponding handle on the opposite side on the same level.
    Once you have deformed the image to conform to the template, you can fine tune the distribution of the vertical deformation with the vertical handles of the corner points. You can grab a handle and drag it along the vertical paths of the envelope (the Smart guides will snap to it). Drag the vertical handles on one each side lower until you like the distribution of the deformation.
    Try to follow my instructions and I'll clarify if you are stuck.

  • Eject Disk Image at logout with AppleScipt?

    Hello, I would like to know how to use AppleScript to write a script that automatically ejects a disk image whenever the user logs out of their account.
    This script would be the complementary inverse to a login item I have setup wherein a specific disk image is mounted upon login.
    Because the disk image to be unmounted will be the same one every time, a script that simply uses the path to the image to accomplish the task will be fine (as opposed to a script that would scan for and unmount any mounted images found).

    Check this one out.
    I found this on MacScripter. You should check out that site too, as there are a lot of applescripts there.
    -- Adjust these values to your own requirements:
    property initialInterval : 5 * minutes -- The initial time to wait before starting the checks to see if the app has quit.

    property appName : "My App" -- The name of the app to watch.
    property diskName : "My Disk" -- The name of the disk to eject.

  • Can't eject disk image from Finder in Mountain Lion

    I just got a new MacBook pro. I'm running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Any time I try to unmount an external hard drive or eject a disk image from the Finder, nothing happens (either clicking the contextual eject icon or right-clicking). The items in question are not in use when I try to eject them. I'm only able to do so with Disk Utility. Any ideas? I've repaired disk permissions but the problem persists.

    I am having similar issues with my user account. It also is the same in Yosemite.
    Disc images, external hard drives etc dragged to trash (get eject icon) are simply ignored.
    Pressing Eject button in side bar of Finder are ignored.
    It seems to be a permission/account issue as:
    - using computer under a different account doesnt have this problem
    - transferring account over to another mac continues the problem on the new computer.
    Log file seems not to have any errors.

  • Script to unmount or eject disk images

    Is there a way to unmount disk images wiuth an automator or applescript? I have such a script to eject all disks, but this won't unmount disk images. I would like something that unmounts everything, except of course the startup disk etc.

    Andrew Gara wrote:
    That works!
    However, I still have the problem that it will only eject 1 of 2 or 2 of 3 or 3 of 4 etc. I always have to run the script again to eject the remaining disk or image.
    It says: Applescript error Finder got an error. Can't get disk 3 (or whatever is remaining.)
    I really appreciate your help btw.
    this of course makes sense because once a disk is ejected it's not counted among the remaining disks. we should start ejecting from the last disk (see the script below). Also, as i found out, Finder's eject command in apple script doesn't unmount internal drives. At least it didn't for me. I' not sure what the story here is.
    One can circumvent this by calling a shell script command.
    Something along the following lines.
    tell application "Finder"
    set nmd to number of disks
    --this ejects externals and disk images
    if nmd > 1 then
    repeat with i from 2 to nmd
    eject disk (nmd - i + 2)
    end repeat
    end if
    --this ejects internals except for the start up
    set nmd to number of disks
    if nmd > 1 then
    repeat with i from 2 to nmd
    do shell script "diskutil unmount /Volumes/\"" & (name of disk (nmd - i + 2)) & "\"> /dev/null &"
    end repeat
    end if
    end tell
    I tested it on my computer and it ejects 10 disks and disk images well so I think it should work ok most of the times but there are probably situations when it will fail. I'm not sufficiently motivated to refine it.

  • How to Restore disk image to smaller image?

    Hi there;
    Not entirely sure if this is where this question needs to be posted.
    I'm in a little bit of a pickle. I purchased a Imac g5 1.6 ghz (2004) and want to install Leopard (10.5) on it.
    I have a DMG copy of the installer but my problem was that the file is too large to be burned on a single layer DVD (i know I can burn it on a DL DVD, but I don't want to buy a pack of 5 DVD's and only need One). So I used disk utility and created a sparse image (8.7GB) and restore the DMG to that image. I stripped all the unneccessary files (languages and printer drivers). then I went back to create a 4.7 GB sparse disk image to restore the newly formatted DMG, but It still says that there is not enough space on the disk, when my Image is 4.7GB and the image is 4.45 GB.
    My understanding is that even though i'm only using 4.45GB it still shows as the original 8.7GB.
    I'm currently running OSX 10.7.4 (lion) on my macbook pro and disk utility wont let me complete the task I have at hand.
    I'm new to this so could someone help me?

    You can get

    You can get Mavericks and Yosemite from the App Store.

  • How to Increase disk image size of SAM

    Hello,
    I am trying to increase the disk image size. I am trying to increase to about 6G, but SAM just refused to load the image.
    So, is there a limit in SAM about the virtual disk size? Or is it limited to the physical memory of the system?
    I have read the thread http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5239257&tstart=30 and http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=837&threadID=5286038 about enlarging the disk image.
    I am using OpenSparc T2 Arch 1.2 and the int12 boot bundle. I am wondering if I should change to the sasdisk for a try.
    It is strange, that I previously ran the simulator on a Solaris Express (actually 5.11), and it worked fine.
    But now I changed to the Solaris 10, then it failed.
    Thank you.
    Jim

    As it turns out, the way to make the image appear larger on the page is to edit and increase the size of the signature "box" on the pdf (under Forms > Add or Edit Fields), to considerably larger than the form might indicate.  Otherwise, the signature is constrained to the just the size of the small field on the pdf.  Interestingly, as soon as you do so, the signature appears "bolder", likely just because there is more of it.  Thanks for your suggestions!

  • How do I initialize boolean indicators each time I run a program

    I am measuring voltages on protoypes and would like to be able to place a prototype in a fixture and hit "run" and see all my boolean leds go blank then either teh pass or fail light up accordingly as each test runs. This works fine the first time I open and run teh program, however if I hit run again the leds keep there old value until the test runs again instead of going blank first. They all have "off" as their default value, however hitting run does not make them go to thier default value. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    I don't understand how to do this, can you give me an example please? I'm attaching my VI, could you just sow me 1 example .
