Broken Pipe, Intel iMac, DMG files, OS X 10.4.10

*Despite trying the various workarounds found here* (incl.10.4.9 etc) it seems that the problem/feature is Broken again in 10.4.10. {there is apparently a 'hidden' update to a 10.4.11 which is not found by software update so I'll give that a try}.
Interestingly, When I tried using the ASR/Disk utility 'Restore' method I get an ERROR 2 no such directory or file... (with a bunch of .DMGs)
I see the following in Console log:
asr: could not copy //Applications: No such file or directory
asr: Bom copy exited with error 2
asr: The restore failed
An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory)
Will advise when I find and install the .11 --which is, of course, a .DMG file *grin*...
One doesn't want to be seen as being overly critical (does One?) but this really is an egregious and rather sloppy error.
Best to all.

I am not sure what your issue is but to suggest that there is a "hidden" update to a 10.4.11 is absurd at best.

  • Mounting .dmg failed--broken pipe

    I've just upgraded to Tiger to try to solve this problem, but it did not help.
    What can I do now?
    I have something corrupt that does not allow .dmg files to set up and can't prepair the disk image to open....Mounting Failed--broken pipe.
    However, the file shows up in my download file at the correct size, when i try to open it with Disk Image Mounter (right click) nothing happens.
    I was hoping that upgrading os would correct this, but no. This 'broken pipe' must be a clue. Am I missing some file? What could it be. I do not want to do an archive and install if I can help it.

    Hi Richard, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    I have seen 'broken pipe' on these forums. Do a search on pipe and see what you find.
    Good Luck, JP

  • Intel iMac not reading time correctly

    G'day
    This is pretty desperate. I've got a 3000+ line applescript that automates a mail room for a large company.
    They want to buy an intel iMac to exclusively run the script, but the script uses time based files for error reporting.
    On my intel iMac the files read as 1st January 1904 12.00.00 am not matter what I do.
    Are Apple fixing this, or is there a workaround?

  • How to Merge Dmg Files

    Hi
    I have 4files test1.dmg test2.dmg test3.dmg test4.dmg how would i get them back into 1 file to burn..
    Thank You

    Hmmm, I tried this but all it did was compress the dmg files into an archive. I guess you meant that literally.
    My situation is I have 1 file (I'm assuming it's one file), but broken up into 12 dmg files.
    I thought it was kind of like .rar files, you can have a bunch of .rar files and merge them back together (say with UnRarX) to get the 1 complete file.
    Sample of files are:
    File Back.dmg.001
    File Back.dmg.002
    File Back.dmg.003
    File Back.dmg.004
    File Back.dmg.005
    and so fourth, up to File Back.dmg.012

  • Pacman broken pipe

    I have installed new ArchLinux 0.7 system. When I wrote "pacman -Syu" it has synchronized and offered to upgrade pacman. After pacman upgrade I wrote once again "pacman -Syu" and pacman offered me to update about 20 packages. It started downloading the first one and when it have completed it wrote: Broken pipe. Pacman turned off. And now every time I try to update or install a new package, when I run pacman and it download something I get broken pipe after each downloaded file and pacman turns off. How can I correct this problem? Using wget didn't helped. It stucks when "Logging into ftp as anonymous". Any ideas?

    I'm guessing he's already tried that, since I suspect the reason he's tried wget is because it's mentioned in the only other thread relevant to this, and pacman.static is mentioned there too...
    I may be wrong tho

  • "Broken Pipe" error while attempting execution of DMG file

    Any help here? Tried to load two different programs, both gave same error message.

    A .dmg file isn't "executable" or a program, it's a disk image that could contain anything from an executable to pictures or audio to an entire application. It sounds like it's a bad .dmg file.
    What version of Mac OS X are you running? The latest 10.4.9 update added some checks for bad .dmg files, and you may be hitting those checks. This has been discussed in some Apple Knowledge Base articles and on sites such as http://www.macfixit.com and http://www.macintouch.com.

  • Can I delete .dmg files off my iMac?

    Well, the short version of the question is in the title, but I'll explain further. My iMac, my families main computer, is running out of disc space, and after googling/looking for topics on the issue, I still can't find a clean cut answer to the question "If I delete .dmg files for programs I have already install/use, will the programs become unusable/broken and will my iMac still function properly?". I ask this because, as I said, I'm running out of space and there isn't much else to delete, and I noticed the .dmg files have been taking up a ton of data. I obviously won't just delete all of them willy-nilly, but I mean can I delete ones for updates to Safari or Firefox or iTunes, or even ones for one-time downloads like MSN? Thanks in advance, I just want to be sure on the issue, so far it seems like I safely can if I have installed the application to the applications folder.

    You do not have to keep the disc image files you've downloaded (.dmg files.) Doing so will simply free up space. Since the applications were downloaded from internet sources you can always redownload should you lose one.
    Drag the .dmg files to the Trashcan on the Dock or select all of them and press COMMAND-DELETE to move all of them to the Trash. Now Empty the Trash to recover the disk space.

  • Cant mount dmg; what is broken pipe?

    I'm downloading software from Version Tracker and software originator's websites (Adobe). The dmg's download OK, but when they are opened they fail to mount; reason given is "broken pipe". Anyone have ideas how to deal with this? Dmg's downloaded from Apple Software Update do NOT do this.
    Thanks!

    Still not quite clear about what you did. If you have all your data backed up on another drive (which is NOT connected to the computer), did you do this:
    1. Insert original install disk (with nothing whatsoever connected to computer)
    2. Select erase drive and install the OS
    3. Create an admin account with the same name as your original
    5. WITHOUT importing anything from your backup, tried to use Disk Utility and tried to mount a dmg file
    If that's what you did and neither Disk Utility nor DiskImageMounter will work I suspect you have a hardware problem.

  • Dmg mount failed - broken pipe

    Hi. My Intel Mac mini is refusing to mount every dmg I download: Firefox, EyeTV update etc etc. Reason: Broken pipe.
    Any solutions folks?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Mike Owen.

    Do the following
    With the mbp turned on, insert install disk 1, then shut down the computer. Restart the mbp holding down the "C" key until you come to a screen that says "use english as main language."
    Select english and click the continue arrow one time only. Allow the installer to launch, but do not continue with a reinstall. Instead, go to the "utilities" menu in the top menu bar and select "disk utility."
    Once disk utility asks you to select a drive, volume or image, select "Macintosh HD" (unless you have renamed your boot volume.)
    Make sure you are on the "first aid" tab. From here you can repair permissions and verify disk. I would advise doing both. If disk verification fails you can also repair disk.
    Doing this may address any issues caused by repeatedly being powered off manually.
    Hope it helps

  • Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files  I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and cr

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    That's it really.

  • Can't transfer files from imac to intel imac via ethernet sockets

    I recently bought the fab new imac intel and wanted to transfer files from my old imac 350 via the ethernet sockets as the old imac doesn't have firewire. I did this using instructions from an apple doc. which allowed me to simply drag files from the hard disk icon of my old imac, to the hard disk icon of the imac intel.
    I now want to transfer some more files but the set-up just doesn't work. When I try to connect to the old imac the afp tries to find the IP but doesn't connect. Sometimes I get a message saying, 'the files you want are on this server' meaning the new intel imac, but of course they are not. I've tried all kinds of things but can't find the problem.
    Geoff

    If the ip addresses are beginning with 169 that means they are self assigned ip addresses.
    I suggest you goto each mac and create a new network location.
    Then setup one mac as follows
    systempreferences-->network-->show built-in ethernet-->TCP/IP
    configure ipv4 manually
    ip address 10.0.0.1
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    on the other mac do the same but make the ip address
    10.0.0.2
    press apply now.
    Now when you connect to server use the ip address 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 respectively.

  • FCC for Broken pipe delimited file

    Hi Fellow SDNer's

    Hi Ninad
    It looks like the broken pipe character is outside the US-ASCII character set.
    ASCII Code - The extended ASCII table
    You can try using the ASCII character to see if it works or not:-
    Header.fieldSeparator = '0xA6'
    Check also the following thread that mentions the use of non US-ASCII character.
    Content conversion - endSeparator and fieldSeparator with unusual separators
    In particular, it mentions OSS note 1936206 - if you have the corrections in place, you can try using MessageTransformBean and specifying the encoding with the following additional parameter.
    xml.fieldSeparator.encoding=ISO-8859-1
