Can't mount DMGs anymore

Ever since upgrading to 10.5.5 I've been unable to mount DMGs. I've tried, logging in/out, restarting, and zapping my PRAM. Nothing does it, this is what I get whenever I try to mount a dmg by double clicking it: http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture1hv8.png
Now, if I open up Disk Utility, drag the DMG into there, and click "Open" toolbar item, then it works.
Any thoughts?

Have you repaired permissions and HD?

  • Can not mount DMG File for Skype

    Hi, I am suing Mac Leopard 10.5.6..I download skype from its official website, and I can't mount the DMG file. I tried download it again and restart the computer but it doesn't work. It gave a reason: "Not recognized" for Image "skype 2.7.0.330.dmg"

    HI,
    *" I am suing Mac Leopard 10.5.6..I download skype from its official website, and I can't mount the DMG file."*
    Apple doesn't write Skype software.
    Try repairing disk permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • 10.4.4: Can't mount .dmg files or access iDisk

    Shortly after updating to 10.4.4 I noticed that my daily automated backups (using Backup 3) weren't working any more. I also found that I couldn't access the iDisk via the Finder icon, or via the Go > iDisk > My iDisk option in Finder. I can still upload to my iDisk using iWeb.
    I'm now also unable to mount .dmg files. When I open them in Finder or try to mount them using Disk Utility I get an error message saying that there are 'no child processes'.
    What can I do about these issues? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Solved , by installing the 10.4.4 combo update!

  • Can't mount dmg files, Applications button in sidebar automatically closes Finder, and Flash won't work in browsers

    Although these problems don't seem to be related, they all started occurring at the exact same time. To reiterate
    1) Any time I try to mount a .dmg file, the setup window automatically closes
    2) Any time I go into Finder and click on "Applications" button in the sidebar, the Finder window automatically closes
    3) Flash player does not work in any browser
    I have tried repairing permissions and this doesn't work.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you repaired the Disk. You must boot into the Recovery HD to repair the disk. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782

  • Can't mount dmg. But works under new user

    All of a sudden I can not open any dmg-Files anymore.
    I just get a timeout error message:
    I tried the following already without success:
    - restart
    - repair permissions
    - safe mode
    - open via terminal command
    A work around - but not a real solution - is no create a new user.
    I would be glad for any suggestions to solve the issue.

    ok, this is the result:

  • Can't mount .dmg files

    I'm new to the Mac. I have "inherited" the machine I'm using from the prior users. It's running OS X 10.2. I have several .dmg files that I'd like to mount so that I can run the programs that they supposedly contain. So far I have succeeded in mounting these files ("volumes"?) only with the root (superuser) account. When I log out of that account, those volumes are gone, of course. I cannot mount these volumes with an "ordinary" admin account. When I try that, the system sort of "blinks" but nothing else happens. And the goal here is to give access to these programs to youngsters who will be using a non-admin account. My assumption here is that the problem lies with me -- not with the system.

    I see that this thread has been going for several days so you may have already tried this, but I'll throw it out there just in case...
    Occasionally (for me anyway) some part of the underlying mechanism that performs disk image mounting will just suddenly go south. I'll double-click a dmg file, it'll look like it's going to open but then nothing ever appears on the desktop. The only way to get it back in working order is to reboot...
    ... so if you haven't rebooted your machine recently try that and see if it makes any difference. If this doesn't help you might also want to use Disk Utility to do a "Repair Permissions" on your boot drive... it could be that a permission problem is not allowing the mounting tools to run for anyone except for root.
    Upgrading to a more recent version of the OS is a good idea if you've got access to or the money for a newer version of the OS.
    From what I understand about the wheel group it's basically more restrictive than the admin group. It's root's default group, but users with admin privileges are not in the wheel group (at least not in more recent versions of OS X). Use of the wheel group was slightly more prevalent in earlier versions of OS X and administrative users were members of both the admin group and the wheel group. But that's not true any more. Since at least 10.3 files with root/wheel ownership are typically those that admins can tinker with if they really need to but only after taking the additional step of using sudo to elevate their privileges.

  • Help! Can't mount disc images or run Disc Utility!

    Hey all,
    Somethings gone wrong with my iMac, I've attempted to mount a disc image, and I receive the following error:
    "The following disc images failed to mount. Reason: No such file or directory"
    This now happens with every single .dmg file I try to mount. Even ones I know work because i've used them before. So I know for a fact that the file I've tried to mount isn't just been damaged.
    It gets worse...
    I tried to run Disc Utility to repair the problem and it won't open. Everytime I try I get the message "The application Disc Utility quit unexpectedly". I click re-open, and try again, but still nothing.
    I don't know what to do, i've downloaded Disc Warrior, but couldn't install as I obviously can't mount dmg files.
    Also, my Toast application won't open, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
    Anyway, does anybody have any advice? It would be so greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hey guys, so I've acquired the DiskWarrior disc, rebuilt the drive, and I am still unable to mount dmg files.
    Any further suggestions?

  • Can't copy files from mounted DMG. What's up??

    So all of a sudden, I can't copy files from mounted DMG files. It's strange because if there is one file and I drag it to another location, like desktop, it won't copy. If I drag 2 files from the mounted DMG to the desktop one of them copies. If I drag 3, then 2 copy... it's always all but one of the files... never all of them.
    I've tried repairing permissions but nothing works. I'm at a loss...
    thanks

    Try holding option when you drag the files. This tells the mac to move the files to the desktop of your computer not the desktop folder of the DMG (usually a hidden folder)
    If that doesn't work it may be that you need administrative privileges to move the files. Make sure you are logged on as as an administrator by selecting the account tab in system preferences and making sure it says "admin" under your user name. Log on to or create an administration account then try moving the file.
    Hope this helps, let me know

  • Can't mount Adobe Flash dmg on OSX 10.6.7

    I can't mount the dmg file after I download the Adobe Flash 10.3.181.34. I got a brand new MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.7. I can install every other program I download, the problem seems to persist only with Adobe Flash..
    Any ideas?

    I tried several times. I downloaded form different sources, even told somebody to send the dmg file to me.  still doesn't work..
    When I click on the dmg file, it gives me a warning msg saying "the following disk images couldn't be opened". Reason: not recognized
    it's really weird, I never had any problem with opening other dmg files..

  • Can't mount (CoreStorage) encrypted volume anymore

    Hi,
    I use the following setup:
    SSD: System
    Internal HDD: Data (Documents, Music, etc.)
    Both disks are encrypted via the Core Storage utility.
    It seems I can't mount the "Data" disk anymore.
    I wanted to download a random pdf which failed. ("Downloads Folder" is on "Data" Volume) Restarted the machine and now all aliased folders which refer to the "Data" volume have a question mark overlay rendered on their icon.
    It's not possible to mount/unlock the "Data" disk through disk utility a. The "Data" volume is, according to DiskUtility quite full (only 16MB left). I have the suspicion that this small amount of space left in combination with the encryption causes some trouble.
    What to do?

  • Time Capsule does not work and i can not not mount it anymore, even after follow all apples instructions at FAQs

    My Time Capsule suddenly stopped working, and i can not even mount it anymore. When i ask for a backup, the time machine keeps looking for a disk with no success.
    I tried all the FAQs suggestions:
    1) I change the name of the disk using Airport Utility;
    2) I updated it using Airport Utility.
    Now i can not even try to erase the disk because after to update it, the disk in not listed anymore.
    Now i can just read a "internal disk needs repair" message. that wasn't there before, having in mind that the first response was "there is no space at the disk for a backup".
    What can i do?

    The TC has a fault..
    Power it down and let it cool off overnight. Power it on again the next morning and check if it works.. no luck factory reset.. do all the tests quickly as you have 10-20min before the Temp rises to kill it again.
    No luck it is dead.. give us the actual model number.. A1xxx from the base.
    How old is it?? Beyond 3years they do become dodgy.

  • Copy file from mounted DMG to the Applications folder?

    I'm wanting to copy file (application) from a mounted DMG to the Applications folder. Something like:
    tell application "Finder"
    try
    copy "Volumes:Dropbox Installer:Dropbox.app" to folder "Volumes:Macintosh HD:Applications"
    end try
    end tell
    (But that doesn't work).
    Preferably overwriting the existing application in that folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    tell application "Finder"
        duplicate file "Volumes:S001TEST:S001-S001c-TEST.zip" to folder "Volumes:Macintosh HD:Applications" with replacing
    end tell
    I tried this principle in Applescript (Mavericks) and received error...
    Finder got an error: Can’t set folder "Volumes:Macintosh HD:Applications" to file "Volumes:S001TEST:S001-S001c-TEST.zip".
    "001TEST" is a disk image with filename of "S001TEST.dmg"
    Any ideas why this won't work?

  • 1 of my HD partition suddenly can't mount and want me to initialize! HELP!!

    Hi,
    If anyone who frequented these kind of problems before please let me know your solutions solving these problems. Thanks very much!!
    I'm a musician and a frequent mac user,I have a Power Mac G4 dual 800 with 1.25GMhz ram running on Mac Os 9.21 but with Mac OS X installed (I need to use Mac OS classic due to some of my music softwares still need to be updated before I upgrade to OS X),I've put the Hard Disk in 2 other sub partition HD at the beginning and have been using it to put all my important audio files and songs files. No problems at all before these nightmare started!
    The serious problem I'm having now is I suddenly can't mount one of my partition HD anymore.
    -I heard weird sound when starting & re-starting the Mac. (Heard some Hard Disk weird sound like sound "crutch" sound" and since the partition can't be mounted, the first thing shows up after I boot the computer is asking me if I wanna Initialize the Hard Disk because it's unreadable. There is 2 choices for me "Cancel" & "Initialize" But there is no effect when I choose "Cancel" so I use the Force Quit.
    2 little message saying my Main Hard Disk & the other partition are damaged but they still showing up properly and still running dangerously I think.
    -I have tried to start-up by using the installer Disk came with the computer and runs the First Aid Kit to verify the disk. I can see the partition and can see the icon of it but it's just different from others (in a black tone basic classic icon) and after running the verification some following messages appears:
    "Mountcheck found serious errors" (in red) then "Overlapped extent allocation,2.60" (in red) and "Hard disk need to be repaired" so I run the Repair mode and it just can't fix because it says it's not been mounted.
    I've also checked the main HD and the other partition which sometimes had some problems with it but no problems been found.
    -There was few times my computer do Freeze or appears a Bomb asking me to restart when I recording something using the partition for saving the data and a weird sound of hard disk comes before freezing. It seems it's always the same place of the hard disk. Also When I inserted a blank CD-R disk into the drive it just freeze and appears a Bomb message instead asking me if I wanna use the Toast or i-tunes for preparing the disk which I always used to do.
    I really hope the computer can hang on just for 1 more month before I have a break to fix everything and backup everything inside or initialize everything inside.
    P.S. I've another Powerbook G4 running on OS Tiger but it's mainly for my internet use. ( I don't use internet connection for my PowerMac G4)
    And the Combo super Drive is DOWN,I just can't insert any Disk inside anymore. So if having another Mac is helpful for my issue,anything I would try.
    Due To I'm having some urgent important jobs now so I really can't initialize or setup other new computers for my works now.
    HELP! Thanks!!!

    Just because you can't find them does not mean they aren't there.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

  • 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.
