10.4.11 breaks .dmg mounting - now I get fsck errors.

I am having problems. About 75% of my .dmg files give me errors.
Many of these .dmg files have been working flawlessly on three computers since the 10.3 days... The others were created more recently (including two which were created using 10.4.11).
But on about 75% of my .dmg files I get this error when I try to open them:
"The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system. Are you sure you want to open this disk image?" and it has two options, "Open" and "Don't Open".
If I chose "Open" it mounts just fine and works just like it used to before 10.4.11. But I get this in my console:
"/sbin/fsck_hfs(/dev/disk2s2) failure for /Users/myUser/Desktop/imac/DiskImages/myDiskImage.dmg.
Dec 31 10:17:52 myComputerName diskimages-helper[1544]: user is overriding fsck failure for myDiskImage.dmg."
If I chose "Don't Open" I get a window that says "Warning. The following disk images failed to mount. Image: myDiskImage.dmg Reason: no mountable file systems" and it presents me with an "OK" button, and I get the same fsck failure message in my console.
This only happens with 10.4.11 and it is happening on two PPC computers and one Intel computer.
This is happening with all sorts of .dmg files, like I mentioned - some were even CREATED WITH 10.4.11!!!
Now - this all works OK if you just need to mount a disk interactively because you can just click "Open" and it works fine. But it completely breaks any scripts I have that mount images automatically (non interactively).
So I am quite frustrated about this...
10.4.11 should be quite mature considering it is the 11th update. I don't see how they could introduce problems like this in such a late update...

Hi John,
I've seen a few with the same symptom, but never the option to Open or Not!
I believe it's not so much a bug in 10.4.11 as it is with not doing Permission fixes before & after any update/upgrade... you end up with components from different versions and incompatabilities arise.
Use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, (never hurts to verify the HD first), reboot & try it again, if it doesn't work, then try reapplying the big Combo Updates...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If that doesn't work, looks like an Archive & Install with Permission Repairs along the way.

  • I have an older iMAC that once burned CD's with no issues. Now I get an error message saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device is not accessible, probably because it was removed". I have never had it touched so the device was not removed.Help

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM first, if that doesn't help try a cleaning disc.....and then buy an inexpensive external burner. Slimline super drive failures are all too common.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Itunes recently attemped to upgrade to the next version on two of my Windows computers, and now I get an error message

    My Windows computers (one Windows Vista computer, one XP sp3 computer)  recently attemped to upgrade Itunes to the latest version, and now, I get an error message that reads:
    Runtime Error
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime Library incorrectly.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.  When I click OK, I get another error message tat states "Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please re-install Itunes.  Error 7 (Windows Error 1114).When I re-install
    When I re-install Itunes, I get the same result.
    Now, Itunes will not work.  I cannot play any of my Pod Casts, or downloaded music.  Quick Time Player, and any other Apple application does not work.  What, if anything, is being done to fix this?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
    The information in the first link is Apple's only public acknowledgement of this issue. No other actions they're taking to address this are publicly known.

    You may want to make sure you're installing the right version of itunes.  If you have a 64bit system, you will need to make sure to download and install the 64bit version of iTunes.

    Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

  • I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

    HI, Im using Iphone 4 and i recently got my IOS updated to IOS7 and  now im getting the error message as "PDP authentication failure" Im using Aircel carrier.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue

    update...
    I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
    Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
    I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
    At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
    Frustrated.

  • I have just tried to update my iTunes to version 11.1.4 and now I get an error and iTunes won't install. I get error code 7.

    I have tried to upgrade my iTunes to version 11.1.4. Now I get an error code 7 and can't access iTunes at all. The message says there was a failure to install. I tried to go back to previous version, but that doesn't work, either. Any ideas?

    I just tried updating ITunes to the new version and it will not completely download and now I get an error message of MSVCR80. Is there a problem with the new iTunes version?
    Now ITunes won't open.Help!!!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes component is not installed.  Please re-install iTunes (-42404)".
    Since this, my iPad will not sync, despite resetting it many times.
    I have downloaded and installed the new iTunes more than ten times with no luck.
    Please can anyone help!!!!!!!

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • I d/l your mozilla firefox today and now I get the error 0x80070002 all the time...how do I fix that?

    I downloaded mozilla firefox today and now I get the error 0x80070002 all the time, and I cannot use system restore because of it. How do I fix that so that my computer works right again. I was restoring because after I d/l your mozilla today, I lost all of my contacts in my msn email...just been tearing my hair out over this and it is soo darn frustrating. Tell me how to fix this. Marilyn

    Hi,
    The error is totally unrelated to Firefox. Please see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 this]. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows OS forum] will also be helpful.
    Please also check the downloaded file by right-clicking > Properties > Digital Signatures, which should say '''Mozilla Corporation''' and '''This digital signature is ok''' in '''Details'''. You can download Firefox from a known site like e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You can try to Reset Firefox which would hopefully display the missing features, all (contacts, emails, settings etc.) of which are actually stored at the MSN site and are temporarily displayed by Firefox every time the site is accessed.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

    I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!
