Cant mount .dmg file - gets error -4960

Ive downloaded Xcode 3.0 over wireless and had to do this in several "sessions" due to the large file size (approx 1.31 GB)
this downloading has taken hours and now for all my hard work in trying to get it - Im getting a -4960 error code when trying to mount this disk.
I searched ADF to see if a related problem has occured but if found no obvious hits.
Anyone else overcome this one ? I surely would love to avoid having to DL this bad boy again....
Cheers

Things like BBEdit. Downloaded and purchased but now cant install because DMG files wont mount.

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!

Cant open itunes. Get error message CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll. Anyone know how to fix that?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

Files disappearing from mounted .DMG files

Hi, I've had this issue occur a few times in Tiger and I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if there's a known workaround. Sometimes, when browsing a disk image, or, less commonly, a physical disc like a CD, files in the Finder will seem to disappear from the image/disk when clicked on. First the filenames will go, then the files themselves, and evidently those files then become unreadable in general as applications can't access them. I don't get any error messages; it's just like the filesystem on that disk eats itself away and vanishes. I can unmount the disk without any issue.
I'm having this problem right now with any disk image I mount on my XServe -- it goes through the "Verify" step just fine, shows up on my desktop, I can browse and even open files, but inevitably within a very short period of time the above occurs, and it becomes useless. I KNOW it can't be the .dmg file that's the problem, because if I share the .dmg over Personal File Sharing and mount it from another Mac, this problem does NOT occur. It's just on the one Mac hosting the files. Any idea what this could mean, and what could solve it?
Also, I know a lot of times a restart will cure this weird little glitches, but I would really like a solution, if you know what I mean... particularly on a server, I cannot afford to restart whenever I have a problem.

Sounds like you have run into a very strange, and unfortunately no uncommon, bug involving file systems from either servers or FAT 32 mounted external drives. See this discussion:

Downloaded Master Suite 5 - get error -4960 when I try an install in

I have a Mac thats only a few weeks old with CS4 versions of dreamweaver, illustrator and Photoshop
I have tried installing direct from hte Adopbe installer, and by locating the .dmg and get the same error?

A similar problem here. The Download Assistant is unreliable at the moment, and official Adobe support can only suggest redownloading the source package with the usual "clear the file, try again" advice until they improve the service. Frustrating, but if you download on a fast connection without interuptions (so no pausing, and best to minimise background application activity) you should be successful. I'm one application down, and three to go (with over six failures over two days).
Needless to say, as a customer I am frustrated that I can not access purchases software from the vendor in an era of lightning fast torrent networks and growing open source alternatives. Product delivery should be a priority for Adobe.

Mounting .dmg files?

Dear Forum,
Having imported the .dmg files from DVD.
I'm unable to install CS3 .dmg files on my Mac G5.
With the .dmg in the applications folder I double click on the .dmg file in finder. The file appears to mount. Then in finder Go I select computer and double click on the CS3 Icon.Then the setup Icon appears I double click on it and a window appears saying "System Requirements Error This software cannnot be installed because the file system of the OS Volume is not supported".
Assistance please.

O.K. I know this sounds weird.
I'm planning to do a clean install of Leopard with the Internal HD formatted with Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
There are 2 HD Icons in Disk Utility. 1. Mac HD 2. 149.1 GB Samsung SP1614C
When I highlight the Mac HD Icon in Disk Utility and select Erase the Mac HD reads as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) The only option highlighted if Erase Free Space.
When I highlight the 149.1 GB Samsung SP1614C Icon in Disk Utility and select erase the Samsung reads as Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive Journaled) There are no options highlighted.
Can you explain that?

Ever since I upgraded Lion, my iMac does recognize my Garmin devices or mount dmg files from Garmin. What could be wrong?

I get the error that no mountable file system exists. All other dmg files open. My MacBook Air works fine with the Garmins and Garmin files.

And, occasionally it will boot into open firmware.
Seems odd to me. All by itself? Did you press any keys?
I don't know what to do from here. I can still boot into os 8.6 with extensions off.
Most likely, you have a bad extension. They are in a folder called extensions What you need to do is create a new folder and move extensions to this folder. Move extensions to the folder in groups. try 1/2 first. Move back & forth between folders. See which extension is causing the problem. command + n to create a new folder
verify that you have the correct firmware.
Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
1) Mac OS 9.x or 8.x, you need to use the Apple System Profiler.
Apple -> Apple System Profiler
2) Mac OS X, use the System Profiler.
Apple -> About This Mac
click on the More Info... tab
click on Hardware
read the Boot ROM Version
3) Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
Power on your iMac while holding down commandoption+of

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.

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?
Regards,
Mike

I'm getting error 4960 when trying to download Photoshop Elements 12 trial to my Mac

I have been trying to download the trial for Photoshop Elements 12 to my Macbook Pro but I'm getting and error message 4960. Can anyone suggest where it's going wrong? Many thanks.

New User when exactly are you receiving error 4960? Is it during the download or when you try to install?

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.
Best wishes,

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

Welcome to the Apple boards:
It sometimes happens. Usually it's the result of a permissions error.
Drag the file out of the trash bin onto your desktop and then run the disk utility, found in the Utilities folder
Select and run, repair permissions and let it run - it takes up to 1/2 hour - and ignore the time-to-complete indicater - it lies
After that, see if you can now delete the .dmg.
If not post back, we have other ways to deal with sticky issues like this.
