Can't iPod touch open DMG file? Why?

I sent an encrypted email to a friend who using iPod touch, but he said he couldn't open the file. I was using "Encrypt Mail" by Apimac. He said he got an attachment with extension .DMG
But DMG is just an Apple file, it should be easy to open it, I use DMG everyday, I got no problem with that.
So, Why cannot iPod Touch?

A .dmg file is a disk image file. It's not a format that's supported by the Touch.

    How are you trying to open it?  What happens when you double-click it in the Finder? In the Finder Preferences do you have Show these items on the desktop: "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" selected?

  • My Safari can´t open .dmg files after downloading

    I updated to Mac OS X 4.9. But since this update, Safari cannot open .dmg files after downloading! On 10.4.8 it was not a problem. What can I do?

    Darn...I thought that would do the trick.
    Given the other problems you mention, more and more, it seems a reinstall of the OS, using Archive and Install is going to be necessary. Have you ever done an Archive & Install of the OS? Important you carefully read the description of the process. If you are uncertain, I find the Take Control Upgrading to Tiger E-zine to be a very helpful guide.
    Once you reinstall the OS, then you can upgrade to 10.4.8 using the combo update, repairing permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when complete.
    One question: Not sure why you have run into all these problems on the 10.4.9 upgrade. It worked without problem for me. Anything unusual happen during the install?

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Can't open DMG-files

    I can't open DMG-files anymore because OS X associates dmg-files with another program. Usually when I opend .dmg files a "virtual disk" opened, now another program starts.
    I tried the Open with (Openen met in Dutch) function, but I don't know which program I have to choose. When I have this problem on a Windows PC I just select explorer.exe. Which file do I have to choose on my Mac? Or is there another way to solve this?

    Hi mrtn87,
    welcome to Discussions!
    /System/Library/CoreServices/BOMArchiveHelper.app opens .zip files,
    and
    /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app opens the .dmg files.
    If you have OnyX, you can try running the "Reset LaunchServices Database" and "Reset links between documents and applications" tasks, see if the problem disappears.
    Here is a Terminal command you can try if you don't have OnyX (or one of the usual utilities):
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
    Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
    -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Let us know.

  • I can't open dmg files anymore

    I JUST got this problem. I have been using my mac for a couple of years now. My Mac is a Macbook Pro, Version 10.7.2 (Lion)
    Recently, I have been unable to open Dmg files, whenever I double click it, I get a message saying:
    "Warning, the following disk images couldn't be opened"
    "Reason: legacy image should be converted"
    I never had this problem before, so why am I getting it now? How do I fix this?

  • Can't open DMG files...should have never upgraded my OS to mountain lion

    Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files. Says "the Following disk images couldn't be opened". and then say's there "isn't enough disk space" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with apps that are not approved by the app store. How can I turn it off?
    I posted this question before and thought the problem has been solved nbut i'm still having this problem.

    How much disk space do you have? When you "Get Info" on a .dmg file, is it set to open with "DiskImageMounter.app"? Should have nothing to do with your Security settings just to mount a disk image.

  • Help! Can't open .dmg files suddenly, and can't find stuffit expander application!

    My iMac is currently running on Mac os x 10.5.8, **out of nowhere my computer can't open dmg files. I can't seem to find the stuffit expander application anywhere in my hard drive either, which usually opens these files. Is there another application that can open dmg files? Help Please! I need to open multiple dmg files tonight and can't figure out a way around this. Downloading/running a new stuffit expander application also happens to be a .dmg file. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it so much!

    Do you mean DiskImageMounter was chosen or not?
    No change on that .dmg or on on others?
    If you want to apply DiskImageMounter to all you have to choose "Change All".
    EDIT: Also, Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/ Disk Utility.
    Also, George Orville has some interesting advice in this thread
    Note this advice is for 10.3 but much of it will apply here.

  • HT201301 How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?

    How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
    I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

    From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
    GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

  • Cannot open dmg files in mavericks

    After installing Mavericks on my iMac I cannot open dmg-files. All that happens is that the system tells me "The following disk images couldn't be opened", with the reason "no mountable file systems".
    Now, all I can find when discussing this issue is that "your download is corrupted" or "check your disk" or "reinstall Mavericks!". I have checked and rechecked the files, they are complete and should work. My disk is checked and I have reinstalled Mavericks but nothing happens.
    It seems to be a fairly new/rare problem, I can't find any discussion on this problem elsewhere...

    I'm having the same problem. I don't have any answers. But here's some information about what I'm seeing that might help someone sort this out.
    I recently upgraded to Mavericks
    Both newly downloaded dmg files and ones that were downloaded and sucessfully opened under a previous version of OS X cannot be opened now
    I have two user accounts on the same machine. On one I can open dmgs without problem. On the other I get the error.
    I'm using the same browser (chrome) on both accounts to download the same disk image, with different results.
    Both accounts are admin accounts
    I transferred the disk image that opened properly on my main account to the second account's ~/public/drop box folder and the second account could not open the image.

  • Problem opening .dmg files?

    Hi all,
    I've recently been having problems opening .dmg files -- specifically for a recent Adobe update, and the latest VLC update.
    Checking with their support, it seems that it's not a problem that others are experiencing.
    I get the following message:
    I'm on the 2007 27" iMac, with my OS (SL) being up to date.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx!

    Could be either.
    Check out your own stuff as far as you can. Your router diagnostics page should be able to tell you what sort of download speed you're getting, or you can use SpeedTest http://speedtest.net/
    Check your phone line from the main terminal to the router for loose connections, kinks that may be hiding broken wires and such. Check or replace the line filter that seperates the modem line from the phone.
    Then get your ISP to check out their end, and the phone company likewise.
    Hope you can find the source.
