Can't create disk image with Disk Utility

I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and i can no longer create disk images with Disk Utility in order to store encrypted data.
The operation fails and ends with the post :
Failed to create disk image, error:
hdiutil: create failed - Resource busy
I use three Macs with Mountain Lion, and this problem occurs only on one of the three.
I check the disk, repair permissions and did a reset of the PRAM. I even did a reinstall of Mountain Lion, without success.
But curiously, using a new user account, I was able to create a first disk image. But no one after.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Can't create cd image with any CD

Hi,
I'm having trouble creating a CD Image in Disk Utility. I insert the CD and then open Disk Utility. I then highlight the CD drive and click on New in the menu. The problem is that the "Disc Image from Device" option is greyed out. Does someone know why this option can't be selected?
This happens with any cd
Thanks,
Roby

If you are going to burn copies of the CDs, use the "Importing" pane of iTunes' "Advanced" preference to import using AIFF or Apple Lossless Encoder, so you don't reduce the audio quality. Also check the box to use error correction.

Can't create log file with java.util.logging

Hi,
I have created a class to create a log file with java.util.logging
This class works correctly as standalone (without jdev/weblogic)
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.*;
public class LogDemo
     private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( "Logging" );
     public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
         Date date = new Date();
         DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
         String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
         String logFileName = dateStr + "SEC" + ".log";
         Handler fh;
         try
           fh = new FileHandler(logFileName);
           //fh.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());
           fh.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
           logger.addHandler(fh);
           logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
           logger.log(Level.INFO, "Initialization log");
           // force a bug
           ((Object)null).toString();
         catch (IOException e)
              logger.log( Level.WARNING, e.getMessage(), e );
         catch (Exception e)
              logger.log( Level.WARNING, "Exception", e);
}But when I use this class...
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
import java.util.logging.Handler;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.logging.XMLFormatter;
public class TraceUtils
public static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("log");
public static void initLogger(String ApplicationName) {
    Date date = new Date();
    DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
    String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
    String logFileName = dateStr + ApplicationName + ".log";
    Handler fh;
    try
      fh = new FileHandler(logFileName);
      fh.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());
      logger.addHandler(fh);
      logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
      logger.log(Level.INFO, "Initialization log");
    catch (IOException e)
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}and I call it in a backingBean, I have the message in console but the log file is not created.
TraceUtils.initLogger("SEC");why?
Thanks for your help.

I have uncommented this line in logging.properties and it works.
# To also add the FileHandler, use the following line instead.
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandlerBut I have another problem:
jdev ignore the parameters of the FileHandler method .
And it creates a general log file with anothers log files created each time I call the method logp.
So I play with these parameters
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,true);
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,0,1,true);
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,10000000,1,true);without succes.
I want only one log file, how to do that?

Can't create disk image of external disk

I just switched from a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4, to a MacBook Pro running 10.5. I'm trying to create a disk image of the old machine's hard disk, as a backup. Before doing this, I ran Disk Utility to make sure none of my disks were in need of repair.
I started up the old machine in Target Disk mode and connected it to the new one. In Disk Utility, I selected the disk, and clicked Create Disk Image. I told it to save the disk image as uncompressed and writable, on a disk that has plenty of space. So it chugs along for about an hour, creating an 80GB image.
Then once the image is done, I try to mount it and get an error, saying that the disk image has no mountable file systems. I've done this four times already, each time with the same result. In addition, if I try to restart after creating the image, the system hangs.
Any ideas why this might be happening? Are there any known bugs with Disk Utility in Leopard? Interestingly, I tried to do the same thing with Carbon Copy Cloner, and ran into a different error (it thought that it couldn't mount the newly-created image).

Yesterday I bought a Maxtor Basic external harddrive for my mac.
Followed the instructions, using Disk Utility, formatted the hd, then I tried to create a 60 gb blank encrypted disk image but failed twice; after clicking 'Create', Disk Utility does not prompt to create a password.
First time Disk Utility just hangs; there's no respond for 30mins, so i force quit it and reformatted the drive, again.
Then I tried to create a 10mb encrypted disk image and the box appears to enter a password, so I presume it was working fine.
Again, I tired to create the 60gb blank image. This time, i left it overnight, thinking maybe it just takes a longer time. No prompt for passwords, and in the morning, the msg I got was 'No drive found' or something like that, because the drive has ejected itself. (???)
Anyone has any idea why? I could create the image on my mac and throw it in the external drive, but my mac onlyhas 15 gb of space.
Let me know if this sounds like a problem with the Maxtor so I could exchange it ASAP.

Can't log in with valid password, can't boot from disk, can't access disk utility, in single user mode can't reset password as appears locked in caps mode with '?' for forward slash, can anyone help?

Which keyboard layout you were using? German, French ... I suppose your layout is reset to the default: US and you are unable to find the "?" or "/" ...
Please have a look into the keyboard viewer, to see how the layout of your keyboard is actually.

Can't get disk utility to work with leopard - iBook running super slow

I have an iBook G4 and it's running ssuuppeerr slow but I can't get disk utility to come up after I press C down. I don't know if I'm pressing it at the wrong time but I restart with the C pressed and it gets to the apple screen and it won't go anywhere else. It will restart normally but not with the C key. I've been trying for an hour and I can't get it to get to disk utility!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Annie

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you want Disk Utility on your iBook or do you want Disk Utility on your install disc?
For Disk Utility on your iBook, go to Finder>Applications>Utilities and look in the Utilities folder. You will find Disk Utility there, and drag it to your dock where it will be handy to have it.
For Disk Utility on your install disc, insert the install disc and then restart and hold down "C" as you boot up so that you will boot from the install disc. Then choose your language, and then look for Disk Utility in the menu bar--I don't remember if it says "Utilities" or "Disk Utility". If you need to repair your startup disk (i.e. your internal hard drive), you would boot up from the install disc to do this.
However, I am wondering if you have enough RAM to run Leopard. You will get a big boost in performance if you max out your RAM. Leopard will run best if you can put a 1 GB RAM stick in your RAM slot.
If you want to repair permissions after installing and updating Leopard, you can do this with Disk Utility on your iBook. Repair permissions until there is nothing left to repair.
If you have more questions, please post back. Also, which ibook G4 do you have?
Good luck!

Network Installer: Can't run Disk Utility

Hi, all.
Just created a net install image. SIU's log did not report anything out of the ordinary, however for some reason I can't run Disk Utility, and I need to as the automated installation options frequently don't work.
I select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and nothing happens.
I run the Terminal and try hdiutil and get
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.dylib
Referenced from: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/Versions/A/DiskImages
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT Trap
Now, if we mount that image on a running Mac we can see the following
bash$ ls -l /usr/lib/libbz*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 138436 Nov 1 11:33 /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.2.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 138444 Mar 4 10:19 /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.3.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Nov 29 14:50 /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.dylib -> libbz2.1.0.3.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Nov 29 14:50 /usr/lib/libbz2.dylib -> libbz2.1.0.3.dylib
If we run the same command on the netbooted machine
bash# ls -l /usr/lib/libbz*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 138436 Nov 1 11:33 /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Nov 29 14:50 /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.dylib -> libbz2.1.0.3.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Nov 29 14:50 /usr/lib/libbz2.dylib -> libbz2.1.0.3.dylib
So it looks like libbz2.1.0.dylib is symlink'd to libbz2.1.0.3.dylib, except libbz2.1.0.3.dylib doesn't exist in the netbooted image. But it does exist in the image when it isn't netbooted! Yes, they are the same image!
I also have two "Help" menus, just for kicks.
Does anybody know what's going on? I guess I'll re-create the image, but it'd be nice to understand what's going on and know if it's something I can somehow avoid in the future.
On the lighter side, this is the first time in nearly a year I haven't had to manually insert the CoreVideo.framework to get the image to boot!

Ah, forget what I said about it being the same image. I didn't notice that my chroot hadn't worked when I was checking... I was checking the live system instead. Good thing, too, 'cause that was just TOO weird.
Still doesn't explain why there's a link to a non-existent file. To test I created a symlink for libbz2.1.0.3.dylib which just points at the previous version. Guess what: Disk Utility works now.
I'm re-creating the image anyway and we'll see if the problem exists on that one as well. If it does, I won't be pleased. That'll be two repeatable bugs that break the NetInstall function for me in a year. Not cool.
Anybody else getting weird output if they type hdiutil in to Terminal at the Network Installer? Or do you have a non-working Disk Utility?

After Server Administration Software for 10.6.8 install on my mac- Now I can't use Disk Utility ?

I installed ServerAdministrationSoftware for 10.6.8 on my mac- NOW I can't use Disk Utility - get Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PlatformHardwareManagement.framework/Versions /A/PlatformHardwareManagement? Also, the only reason I installed this was for the Workgroup Monitor which kicks out the same error.
Any help would be appreciated!

FireFox can't open lots of files it isn't suposed to. DMG is opened by the Mac osx as a virtual volume file you just drag the FireFox icon to where you want it installed. Check your desktop for a FireFox volume... like a drive. Double click the DMG file if it is not there. This is how Mac works it has nothing to do with FireFox, many apps install this way!

Can I use Disk Utility to erase Apple TV hard drive?

Can I use Disk Utility to erase Apple TV hard drive?

I don't know, but I doubt it can be done using Disk Utility. I suggest you consult the user manual for it or see if there is a Reset option in the onscreen menues. If you don't have a manual, then you will find one at http://support.apple.com/manuals.

Can you use disk utility to make a backup of Time Capsule?

I have a client who would like to keep a lot of important files on his time capsule for network usage, however I would like him to back up the time capsule. Can you use disk utility to make a copy of the data on the Time Capsule?
Lastly is there a way you can remotely access the files on the time capsule? (he would like to remotely access files on the time capsule).
thank you.
you should be able to use Back to my Mac to access the time capsule correct?

First Script: Need some basic skill help? Can you add an image with a click?

Hello, Im working on a project were you can replace people heads in a photo. Its for a project so its not supposed to be perfect. So far heres what i think the best steps to take are, but im not sure how to take the first scripting steps. How can i add an image with a script? How can i store a x y coordinates?
1. I would create four variables and than store the XY cords of the the high point of the head, the bottom of the chin, amd the farthest right and left of the face.
2. I would than add the image of the head that I would already have.
3. If the x coordinates of the top and bottom are off kilter, I would rotate new head until = old face dimensions..
4. I would also see if the width is too big or small and resize accordingly
5. I would than resize the head so that the eyes would match up.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Draw a cloud shape. Fill it with white and add a black inner
glow.
Position the cloud shape over the photo. Press Shift and
select both the
cloud shape and the image. Choose Modify > Mask > Group
as Mask.

Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
thanks for reading and advice pleae

Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file. The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
This list is pertinent:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format. You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6. Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

Create an image with ActionScript

How do you create an image with ActionScript? The image is
located at an url that is not guaranteed to be on the same server.
I would prefer something that is compatible with previous
versions of the Flash player.
If you could point me to some tutorial or show me how it is
done.
Thanks

This is suuuuuuuuuuuuper basic, you just have a movieclip on
the stage and the URL of any image on the internet/local computer
function loadImage(imageUrl:String,
holder_mc:MovieClip):Void{
holder_mc.loadMovie(imageUrl);
Fill the two parameters with the 1. image url and 2.
movieclip that holds the image
It will load the image into it. Much more in depth tutorials
and stuff can be found all over the place, just google it.
