Any Disk Image Checksumming gurus?

Hi
Guess this may be an appropriate place for this question.
I have never had occasion to use the checksum feature of Disk Utility much, but tried today. Confused.
Used a locked disk image to burn two copies on data DVD's (double layer.) One verified at end of process, one didn't, hence I turned to the checksumming.
Basically, several questions. The checksum for the image itself appears to change from inquiry to inquiry. I thought this was impossible, if the image was locked?
Same result with each DVD. When checksumming them, their values appear to be different each time the process is run. Obviously, I am missing something here, and any light shed would be appreciated. (I do have some familiarity with the checksum process as it relates to downloaded files, rejoined segments of same, etc.) TIA

Hi Every One
I know that this Problem happens with lots of people out there
It is not fault of Adobe, well Adobe is a good company, the problem is with the Vista Which has a hidden User Called Administrator.
Even if you are Administrator you don't have all the permission to access the files, All Permissions are only assigned to Core Administrator which is hidden.
If you want to enable that user here is the command for that
Open Run Type Cmd
and then type this ----- net user administrator /active:yes
now your hidden administrator is active, you can work with the hidden administrator. simply log off your user and log in to the new account named Administrator and enjoy more benefits for example you can start the setups and all other programs and the UCI will not pop up and will not distrube You every time plus you have access to every thing but there is only one problem that is security you must secure your computer with good firewall and antivirus coz now you are using core Administrator which have access to every thing.
Well This is the whole detail
Now we should come to the real problem which is faced by lots of Users of Adobe Encore CS3, That is Access Deneid while writing DVD above from 4.7 GB.
To Avoid that Simply right click on Adobe Encore CS3 and select Open as Administrator or the second way is to use core Administrator user.
Now every thing will work fine
Hope this will help you
Many Thanks

  • HELP ! Last To Sec . Updates causing problems-Won't mount any disk images

    Just installed most current 2 updates Mac OS X v10.5.8 (Leopard) & now can't get my system to be able to mount any disk images of any kind. Internal expander gives me Mounting failed
    Also tried to expand with Stuffit and got following message:
    SecUpd2009-003.dmg no mountable file system.
    SecUpd2009-004.dmg no mountable file system.
    This first started with 2009-003 update and now 2009-004 it continues.
    Also completely erased my backup external HD files.

    If you did not repair permissions after updating, then try the following:
    Try running +repair disk+ from your *software install DVD* and afterwards, run +repair permissions+ *from your HD.*

  • Is there any disk imaging s/ware for iMac? Im a PC user at moment.

    I was wanting a NAS to be used for over my ethernet network though, ie the NAS HDD will be up in my loft out of the way, whereas I have cables running up there to it - this is ok isnt it?
    Never done this. But I do not see any problems with what you plan to do.
    How is the restore disk made?
    When you make a back up, SK creates a mirror of the drive you have backed up. A perfect mirror. You can boot from it, and everything looks exactly the same, except you have booted from the equivalent of the f drive. You can then, if you wish, erase/reformat the c drive and ask SK to restore. This simply reverses the process, and the f drive is mirrored to the now empty c drive.
    I do not know if SK will make a bootable CD - have never tried it. Probably not, because even the minimum size bootable OS X is about 1.1 gB.
    also where can it be backed upto? HDD, external HDD? NAS device (over ethernet), CD, or DVD?
    I do not know about a CD or DVD. The others, yes. If your Mac can see the target drive, SK can back up to it.
    Please be aware however that certain external enclosures, simply cannot be used for booting a Mac. USB is notoriously problematic, and even certain fw enclosures can be a problem.

  • Copied disk image checksum fail

    Created a read-only encryted disk image of a batch of proprietary hardware pictures.
    Opened and verified no issues with the original dmg file.
    Copy to a portable firewire drive.
    Throws up with a checksum error every time trying to open the copied dmg file, even before I unplug the firewire disk.
    Checked it with diskutility and it even says that the underlying encrypted folder is fine, but will not allow it to pass through the checksum to mount.
    ??? Dunno what is going on here.

    The problem appears to be USB related.
    Was not paying attention. Normally the firewire drive in on a notebook using the firewire ports - I had it temporarily on the MDD using the USB port on the drive. [Quick trip to Radio Shack and $34 for a 6ft firewire cable which will reach around to the back -  for all future use.] Now the copied files work just fine using a firewire cable.
    I have LOTS of issues with USB on this MDD, and always have; had to remove the USB ports from the monitor because they continually locked up the entire USB structure; the brightness control on the monitor has NEVER worked.
    Technology is never perfect.

  • Cannot unmount any disk images

    Hey guys, I've a problem. I can't unmount all the disk images that I've mounted. The same thing with usb external drives.
    The only way to eject is going to utility disk and unmount the images frome there. It's really annoying... Anyone can help me? I'm not sure, but i think that the problem was due to of cocktail software.. I set all the default setting but the problem isn't solved...
    thanks for your help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Can't open disk images after 10.4.6 update

    I upgraded my computer to 10.4.6 and now I can't open any disk images. I checked my disk in Disk Utility and it said it had errors, so I booted from my installation disk to fix the drive. That worked for about a day, and then the same thing happened again. It says my disk is fine, so I don't think I need to go through the trouble of rebooting and repairing it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Shazzi,
    Have you repaired permissions on your start-up drive using Disk Utility in addition the disk check and repair that you did? By the way, what kind of errors did DU find when you checked and repaired your disk? Did it complete the repair?

  • Another OS 10.4.11 update problem - disk images won't mount?

    Hi people,
    Have never had to post on these boards as i've never suffered serious problems with my mac, until today.
    Whilst installing/updating my powerbook to version 10.4.11 my mac seemed to crash so i rebooted my system. Probably not the best thing to do (i have little patience so was annoyed).
    I'm guessing the update installed as my mac says it is now version 10.4.11 but when i go to mount any disk images it will not mount at all, but instead comes up with this message -
    "The following disk image failed to mount
    Reason - error 0xe00002c9"
    I've verified and repaired the permissions on the startup drive in disk utility, and also verified the volumed and it says everything is ok in those departments. Although the option to repair the disk is not available for selection.
    I've downloaded applejack, but obviously can't mount the image file.
    Please help as this is a big problem with regards to my work and play!
    Thanks for reading.

    Hmm thank you for your time and effort on this problem BDAqua but unfortunately it still doesn't want to work! The 'DMG utility' program comes back with an error when trying to mount any of the disk images i have tried. I have been able to get up the script of what its doing in the 'console' application but that is ridiculously long, and i'd be lying if i said i have a single clue about what any of the script in it means!
    So i'm guessing i'm gunna be archiving and re-installing. But this boads another question as i haven't a slightest clue about how to archive my files as i really don't want to lose any of it.
    sorry BDAqua

  • 10.4.9 and mounting disk images.

    I just recently installed 10.4.9 and now I can't mount any disk images. I get an error saying broken pipe. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I just recently installed 10.4.9 and now I can't
    mount any disk images. I get an error saying broken
    pipe. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    Here's what MacFixit says :
    Disk images not mounting [Updated] Several users report an inability mount disk images after applying the Mac OS X 10.4.9 update.
    If you are having a problem where disk images won't mount, try booting in Safe Mode (by holding down the Shift key while starting up), then re-attempting mounting of the disk image.
    This solution is particularly useful for the following scenario: You want to try re-application of the Mac OS X combo updater (a common workaround for issues that occur after an incremental Mac OS X update), but are unable to mount the combo updater disk image.
    Prior to booting in safe mode, however, you can delete the following files:
    * /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
    * /System/Library/com.apple.kernelcaches
    and re-attempting the mount. These, and other cache files, are automatically deleted when you boot in safe mode, but you can potentially save some time by trying deletion of these files (then logging out and back in) first.
    Another option is to use an alternative tool that can mount disk images, like Mount.app, FlashMount, or Toast Titanium.
    MacFixIt reader Joy Denton is one user who had success with our posted workaround:
    "Just wanted to let you know that I had the issue of Disk Images not mounting. This occurred after installing Mac OS X 10.4.9 from Software Update. Fortunately, I read your post regarding a possible fix by using the Combo Update and used Toast to mount the disk image. Ran the Combo Update and ran AppleJack once again. I am now able to mount disk images. This was an annoying problem to be sure."
    But imho the best advice that can be given about software updates is to always have a clone of your system on another partition or external HD so you can boot on it if anything goes wrong. From an external system you can repair your internal disk, install the Combo update if the incremental one failed, etc.

  • Disk image files error when dragging files from them

    any disk image file .DMG that i download and it either has a file to drag to the hard drive or has an application in it. They mount fine and i can lookinside them but when i drag a file out it seems to partially copy them but then comes up and says..
    Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -41).
    If the dmg file has an installer it starts the installed and asks the normal question and permissions and then where to install to then try's to start but just errors again.
    Anyone got any ideas. This is on a Mac intel Mini. Everything runs fine and as i said i fixted permissions it is an administrator account.
    I have tried 3 disk images firefox opera and ablelive 5.2 they are not damaged or corrupted
    thanks

    I was having the same problem on my G4 Powerbook when I tried to install Adium and TextWrangler from disk images. After trying several things that didn't work I decided to see if my IP filter was the culprit. I opened PeerGuardian and disabled the filters. Then, I downloaded Adium again, and it copied easily from the disk image to my applications folder. Then, I tested TextWrangler and it worked as well. I don't know why that worked, and it might not be your problem, but I thought I'd pass on the info. Hope it helps.

  • Disk Images refuse to mount help!

    DiskImageMounter seems unable to open any disk images and Disk Utility also has problems opening them Ihave to try three or four times to open them (this is diskimages from any source). What could be causing this? Any suggestions would be welcome, as I have had this probelm since 10.4.3

    Create a new account, name it "test" and see if .dmg open correctly in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the test account functions normally log back into your regular user account. Then navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and delete these 3 files:
    com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.diskimagesuiagent.plist
    com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.plist
    com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.uiagent.plist
    Then log out and back in or restart. Let us know.

  • Problems with the CS6 Master Collection disk image (invalid checksum)

    I have problems downloading the trial for CS6 Master Collection for MacOS X.
    I've tried downloading using the Download Assistant, both as a privileged and an unprivileged user, and have also tried the direct download as both privileged and unprivileged. Each time I've waited until the download was complete before trying to install, but every time the disk image fails to open, complaining of an "invalid checksum".
    I've tried mounting the disk image without validating the checksum, but while I can then run the installer, the installation fails due to lack of privileges – again, this is regardsless of user privileges. I've also tried deleting the preferences and cache-files for Download Assistant, but to no avail.
    Can anyone confirm that the english version of the CS6 Master Collecion disk image is working and can be mounted without error on MacOS X 10.7? I have now downloaded and re-downloaded the disk image at least eight times, and while I have a fast Internet-connection, this is getting tedious.

    I just downloaded the DMG from Adobe.com using the trial and it mounts fine. I was able to start the installation.
    I did not get a checksum error or any other error.
    However, I found these instructions in another thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4370247#4370247
    <quote>
    If the download is completed in the Adobe Download Assistant you can temporarily turn off the feature to verify the checksum.  The following steps will allow you to temporarily disable this feature:
    Open the Disk Utility located in Applications/Utilities
    Go under the Disk Utility menu and select preferences
    Deselect the option to verify checksums
    Try mounting your DMG file
    I would recommend turning this feature back on though after the installation is complete.  Also if you notice this happening on additional files it can indicate a problem with your Internet connection.

    Could you try these steps and let us know if you were able to proceed.

  • Can't read any file within a disk image

    A year ago I created a disk image with a few thousand files in as an archive. Periodically I open it and access the files.
    Now when I open the dmg, I see all the folders and files, but none of them are usable. No application can open them, for example opening a jpg in Preview yields the message " The file “Picture 1.jpg” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize. " I get similar meesages from Word, Acrobat, etc. for their files. Basically it appears that every file in the dmg is corrupt.
    I have run Disk Utility Repair which said no repair needed; I have run DiskWarrior which found and fixed problems; neither made a difference.
    Any suggestions? Running 10.6.8.
    Thanks

  • Lost All SD Card Data Via Create "Disk Image" - Any Hope To Recover?

    Hi All,
    Hope this is the right place to post - I run Snow Leopard on a June 210 2.66 i7 UMBP. Please forgive my very limited knowledge but I was following instructions on how to create a "Disk Image" of a SDHC Card to preserver exact data so as to enable easy import of Full HD 60FPS AVCHD/.MTS stuff shot on a Sony DSC-HX9V Camera. (Sony PS Video Mode)
    I am basically "Monkey See. Monkey Do" & was having a nightmare trying to figure out why I could not transfer the stuff on the SD Card to iMovie 11/ iMovie HD. I read lots of threads here & elsewhere & the advice seemed to be to make a "Disk Image" of the SD Card via Disk Utility & then import into iMovie from there. I found the following online instructions:
    http://blog.scoopz.com/2008/10/13/ba...to-disk-image/
    I followed the exact instructions to the letter but kept getting error messages a few times & the process would not complete. On the last occasion (4th), the process completed very quickly & a "Disk Image was created on my desktop. I noticed that it said that there was pretty much 16GB free out of the 16GB capacity of the card & when I opened it, all I found were folder icons & garbled descriptions with some strange files - The SAME was true of the stuff on the SD Card which I was desperately trying to back up & save. The Card was full of Data when I inserted it.
    All the photos & videos in all folders are now missing/gone & I do not know why. I am desperately hoping there might be some way I can get all the stuff back - is there any hope? What, as someone of very limited understanding of these things, do to recover the stuff on the SD Card if at all possible? I have enclosed some pics so you can see what I see. What happened here - where did all my stuff go?
    Many Kind Thanks!

    You were on the right track, but now the disk free space doesn't give me much hope you'll recover anything.   The .MTS files are in fact the video files:
    http://www.etinysoft.com/
    Total Video Converter can convert these files to MPEG-4 that iMovie, iTunes, iPhone, and iPod can use. First double check that there aren't any .MTS files left with http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/ And if it can't find any, use one of these data recovery tools:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
    Once you have it, then you can use Total Video Converter to get it to a format you can use. I have a Sony DSC-HX-100V and it makes the same sort video files.

    Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."?  If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.

  • S.m.a.r.t. status failing, HD won't mount, verify, or repair. Can't make disk image. Any other options?

    My iMac won't boot up. It gets to the grey screen with the progress bar. Gets about a third through the progress bar, then shuts off.
    I boot up with the recovery disk. The S.M.A.R.T. status is "failing."  Disk Utility shows the following message:
    "The disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up as much data as possible and replace the disk. See and Authorized Apple dealer for more information."
    I have tried:
    • In disk utility the HD can't be verified or repaired
    • Making a disk image from disk utility. I got a message "input/output error"
    • Using my MacBookPro laptop to boot up the iMac in target disk mode. The iMac wouldn't mount.
    I backed up up a few months ago, so I'm not totally out of luck. But there's a few recent projects I'd like to salvage.
    This is a 21.5" iMac with 3.33 ghz, 2x2 gb, 1000gb running the latest Yosemite OS
    Any further things I should try before carting the iMac to Tekserve? Thanks everybody.

    I'm afraid from your description it sounds as if the disk is seriously damaged in some way. I don't think there is anything more you can do, short of taking it to a specialist recovery service which would be extremely expensive.
    Your service engineer will take the disk out and replace it with a new one; ask to keep the original disk. You could try putting it in an enclosure (more expense) and seeing whether anything will access it, but I have to say that given what you've already done it's extremely unlikely you will have any sucess.
