Cannot mount anything after upgrade to 10.5.1 (external WD drive & .dmg)

Hi It's my first time here.
After I update My Imac G5 to leopard and run true many problems, thank to time machine because I had to restore my entire disk twice.
I update to the lastest level of Leopard 10.5.1. Since that update, Leopard doesn't see my extarnal disk WD 500GB and when it try to mount-it, there is errorlog that said it's not a good format. Also Leopard refuse to mount any .dmg file.
I download the 110MB 10.5.1 update because I tought the automatic download is not the same. But again, it refuse to mount the .dmg file!!!
Maybe I missed something basic here. I am realy stuck...
Any idea of what is the problem?
Thanks in advance.
iMac G5, 2GB-RAM, 250GB internal, 500GB external.

Regarding the .dmg problem see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5522469&#5522469
As to the external, does the drive appear in Disk Utility? If so, can you see how it is formatted?

    I have try different kind of method by putting the External HD to a older system 10.8, to another 10.9 computer, restart with the external partition OS....
    Still pop up the same message, type your PW,   just can see the contents insdie.
    Please HELP>>>>I have more than 400G of data inside.....HELP>>>>>
    yipch

    You need to look at this long thread in the Mavericks forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5475611?tstart=0
    First, disconnect your external drives and don't touch them again until you've researched this.

  • Cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4

    cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4.

    ok here is the issue.
    After i upgraded the IOS to IOS 6.1.2 I'm not able to use mobile internet as i have a data sim card.
    As the settings provided by the service provider are not compatible with IOS 6.1.2 and the service provider cannot do anything about it, as it's something that has to be ressolved by apple.

    I am having this same issue. I live in Korea and changing the language to Korean made the messages searchable, but when I changed back to  English, the problem returned and I was unable to search all my messages via the search window in the messages app, but then, after about 5 minutes, the messages app crashed, and after that, the problem was resolved. Gotta sat that I'm so far unimpressed with ios 8; seemingly not ready for Primetime.

  • After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted. Anybody else with this major problem?

    After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted.
    I have tried resetting my Mac's PRAM but the problem still remains.
    Even USB memory sticks are unmounted efter a few seconds.
    Anybody else with this major problem?

    I have the same problem, although mine has not been solved by ESET update, finder settings, PRAM & SMC resets or anything else.
    Don't get it, my external hard drive still works on both my housemates computers - one macbook pro (with snow leopard) and one dell, just not on mine with mountain lion.
    Any ideas for me guys?

  • Upgrading to Tiger using an external DVD Drive

    Our computers at work don't have internal DVD drives. When we try to install Tiger using an external DVD we can't get past the restart process. We insert the DVD into the external DVD drive and restart our computers. Once the computer restarts, we double-click the Tiger DVD and it once again tells us to restart. My questions is....Can you upgrade to Tiger using an external DVD drive or should I request the CDs from Apple for the upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Devra
    Power PC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Devra,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    Be aware that you CANNOT boot from an external USB-drive: Don't start up from an external USB device. You have to use an external firewire drive. Then insert the DVD and reboot while holding down the Option-key. Select the DVD in the external firewire drive as boot volume.
    You also might want to follow this procedure: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+Checklist . It also covers potential install errors due to outdated firewire-drive firmware.

  • Since I upgraded to Mavericks, my Maxtor external hard drive doesn't work. What gives ?

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, my Maxtor external
    Hard drive does not work. It is FireWire to
    Thunderbolt . When I connect it it crashes. What
    Gives ?j

    Maxtor, must be an old one.
    There is a disconnect occurrence in some cases with FIREWIRE ext. HD and Mavericks.
    (indications mentioned on the Mavericks board)
    This is known and being looked into. 
    Ive looked into this much myself.
    Suggest using another Mac and offloading data onto a USB3 and using same until there is resolution.
    Any normal USB ext. HD is working fine.
    Peace

    OS is Mountain Lion, upgraded no problems, used an external Hard drive for my time machine, now my iPhoto will not show any of my photo's or ay new ones I import! Help please!!

    Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
    If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

  • Cannot open mail after upgrading to leopard

    I cannot open mail after I upgraded to leopard. I keep getting this message that "mail has unexpectadly quit. I have sent reports to apple. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    5.1.4 will solve the compatibility issue, however, it is no longer available from Apple -you would have to find a copy on Ebay or similar. The current version is FCP 6 -part of Final Cut Studio 2.
    Going back to Tiger will also solve it and will not cost anything, apart from the time spent reinstalling.
    Unless there is some feature in Mac OS X 10.5 that you really need, this would be the easiest way to get FCP running again.

  • Cannot search messages after upgrading to iOS8!!!

    After upgrading my iPhone5S to iOS8 yesterday, I noticed that it cannot search Messages for information. To be exact, it only searches messages that have been sent/received after the upgrade. It seems it hasn't cached older messages and keeps ignoring them when searching for something. Any help? Is it a bug?
    iPhone 5S, iOS 8

  • Cannot search messages after upgrading to iOS7!!!

    After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS7 today, I noticed that it cannot search SMS Messages for information. To be exact, it only searches messages that have been sent/received after the upgrade. It seems it hasn't cached older messages and keeps ignoring them when searching for something. Any help? Is it a bug?

    Same problem here with 4S updated to IOS 7 via OTA.
    I have solved the problem by connecting the phone to Itunes, backing up, re-installing IOS7 and restoring from the backup.
    Now everything is fine and all messages are indexed.
    I hope this helps!

  • I cannot open iPhoto after upgrading latest apple updates.  Getting a message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US

    MacBook pro, 8GB,  OSX Yosemite
    I cannot open iPhoto after latest apple upgrade.  Getting message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Mac OS mail (PDF) attachments cannot be read after upgrading to Maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick receiver of e-mails with PDF attachment cannot see or open the attachment. Everything works normally with attaching and sending but it seems to disappear on its way to receiver.

  • Cannot open iTunes after upgrade due to missing .dll file

    I cannot open iTunes after a recent upgrade.
    The error is "Applepushservice.dll is missing.  Please reinstall iTunes."  Which I have now done 8 times.
    I have uninstalled everything, clear the cache and rebooted.
    Now what?  Can I download the file from somewhere else and if so, where do I install it?
    Many thanks.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
