A Disk Utility error message when creating a dmg file

I was trying to create an encrypted dmg file on a USB Drive. It was going smoothly, I had entered the password twice, and then 30 seconds later I got an error message: "unable to create "name-dmg" -illegal seek"
I tried the Help menu, as well as Sherlock to search AppleCare but couldn't find a thing.
Any ideas?

1 The DU info says....
Name.....Kingston
Type.....Volume

Mount Point....../volumes/KINGSTON
File System....Mac OS Extended
Connection bus...USB
Partition type....Apple_HFS

2. The file names I tried were "Financial" then the default on "Disk2s1". By default I mean it's already inserted when the window appears.
3. The size of the image of the image I want to create is 7GB. But like I said this latest attempt a field for selecting a size wasn't in the window. I did set it for 7GB originally.

  • Error message when creating a Master File

    I have finished editing a multicam clip of a graduation ceremony which is an hour and 27 minutes long. Clients are anxiously awaiting the DVDs/BR discs.
    There are six "Rotation" and one "Ribbon" titles and 21 chapter markers in the timeline. None of the chapter markers are placed in a transition.
    I'm using 10.0.8 FCPX and OS 10.6.8.
    I've tried to create Master File in order to use Toast 11 titanium to make a Blu Ray disc but I've had the following message appear twice midway through the process:
    The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 152526 (error -1).
    Any suggestions as to what I might do to resolve this will be greatly appreciated. Or is there is another method to create a Blu Ray disc, I'd appreciate info.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Go to Preferences and turn off Background Rendering.
    Select your project in the library and in the File menu, click on Delete project Render Files; choose All when prompted. Select your event and do the same with the event Render files. In the project use the range tool to select a short section. Try to export that as a test. Don't render before you export.
    If that doesn't work, copy the project and paste it into a fresh project. Try another export test.
    If that doesn't work, create a new user account.
    As for Blu Ray, there is a Share preset if want to check it out. Very simple menus. And the preset can only handle single tracks.
    Good luck.

  • Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.

    Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • "Macros in this project are disabled..." error message when creating PDF files

    The following error occurs when creating a PDF file using a document that was created from a MS Word 2007 templates.
    "Macros in this project are disabled..."
    The security settings are set appropriately - it's not that. I have done everything I can think of including asking Microsoft; they say it's not them. It may not be, but I do not know how to get around it. It did not happen before upgrading my templates to the Office 2007 format.
    Has this happened to anyone else? There is no coding within th etemplates regartding PDFs. We are using Adobe Professional X.  The error only occurs when we use Adobe Pro X.
    One thing I just noticed, our templates get the following message when we go to save as a PDF using Adobe:
    Acrobat PDFMAker needs to save the file before continuing. Do you want PDFMaker to save the file and continue?

    Does it work the first time after you delete your Normal.dotm file? You may be running into the same issue that is detailed in this post Unable to open document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.

  • Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

    I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
    "Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

    Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
    Is your media card formatted? 
    If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
    If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
    Let me know how you make out
    Thanks!

  • Buffering table not up to date error message when creating a Cart

    Hi Folks,
    We are getting a 'Buffering table not up to date' error message when attempting to create a Cart. The error message only happens to the one end user ID only with the others not getting this error, therefore suggesting that my SRM org plan set-up is correct.
    Has anyone come across this previously and what checks are available in the system to resolve this? As mentioned, the attribute check is okay and I have also removed the user ID from the SRM org plan and reassigned again but this has not corrected the problem. We are on SRM 5.
    Thanks. Mike.

  • Q: Error message when printing Photoshop CS3 file

    I get an error message when I try printing a CS3 photo on my Epson C86 printer, and the resulting print has the wrong colors and luminance levels.
    Error Message = "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
    Any ideas for how to work through this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Chris -
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
    Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

  • Error Message When Using a Class Files to Control Navigation

    This is my first attempt at using a class file in a flash project. My intent is to keep all of my navigation elements in class file called "Navigation".  However, I keep getting an error message when I publish.
    I am using a button to go back to the main screen and I gave that button the instance name of "bnt_home". I have also linked that button in the library to the class "Navigation".
    Here is the code:
    package
        import flash.display.SimpleButton;
        public class Navigation extends SimpleButton
            public function Navigation()
                bnt_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goNavigation);
            private function goNavigation(event:MouseEvent):void
                gotoAndPlay(1,"Main");

    When I changed the code I got error (1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent).
    package
        import flash.display.SimpleButton;
        public class Navigation extends SimpleButton
            public function Navigation()
                this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goNavigation);

  • Disk Utility Error 61 when attempting to create disk image on external driv

    I would like to make occasional archive backups of my three macintosh computers. I bought a new Western Digital 2TB drive for this purpose, and formatted it as Mac OS Extended. Trying to do a disk image backup using Disk Utility, I follow the directions:
    - Startup from an install DVD.
    - Start Disk Utilities and select "Restore"
    - Drag "Macintosh HD" into the Source box
    - Click on "New Image" and select compressed and 128-bit AES encryption
    This leads to the error message: Unable to create "....." (error -61)
    I have enocountered this problem both with my iMac G5 and a MacBook, both running Leopard.
    Does anyone know what this error means, what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is another way to create disk image backups? Help!

    1. For reasons I don't know disc images seem to become more fragile the larger they get. They also can be subject to file corruption that affects the entire disc image, whereas file corruption on a clone would only affect certain files.
    2. You cannot put multiple clones on the same volume. Each clone must be on a separate volume, but you can have multiple volumes on a single drive simply by partitioning the drive accordingly. Of course you need a drive large enough to accommodate each clone. Each clone should be to a space equal to the capacity of the cloned drive.
    3. I'm not a big fan of TM, although I must confess it has become more reliable since it's release, especially with Snow Leopard. However, there are many backup utilities that can create clones, perform incremental updates, and archive changed files. See the following:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    Silver Keeper
