Cant mount dmg; what is broken pipe?

I'm downloading software from Version Tracker and software originator's websites (Adobe). The dmg's download OK, but when they are opened they fail to mount; reason given is "broken pipe". Anyone have ideas how to deal with this? Dmg's downloaded from Apple Software Update do NOT do this.
Thanks!

Still not quite clear about what you did. If you have all your data backed up on another drive (which is NOT connected to the computer), did you do this:
1. Insert original install disk (with nothing whatsoever connected to computer)
2. Select erase drive and install the OS
3. Create an admin account with the same name as your original
5. WITHOUT importing anything from your backup, tried to use Disk Utility and tried to mount a dmg file
If that's what you did and neither Disk Utility nor DiskImageMounter will work I suspect you have a hardware problem.

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.

Broken Pipe Error

Downloaded and tried to install Streamclip but I get an error. "The following disk images failed to mount" "MPEGStreamclip1.9.1 Broken pipe" is this a problem with the download or is something wrong with my system?

Well, it's meant to be the first thing you mention, but can be the OS misbehaving.

Mounting .dmg failed--broken pipe

I've just upgraded to Tiger to try to solve this problem, but it did not help.
What can I do now?
I have something corrupt that does not allow .dmg files to set up and can't prepair the disk image to open....Mounting Failed--broken pipe.
However, the file shows up in my download file at the correct size, when i try to open it with Disk Image Mounter (right click) nothing happens.
I was hoping that upgrading os would correct this, but no. This 'broken pipe' must be a clue. Am I missing some file? What could it be. I do not want to do an archive and install if I can help it.

Hi Richard, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
I have seen 'broken pipe' on these forums. Do a search on pipe and see what you find.
Good Luck, JP

Dmg mount failed - broken pipe

Hi. My Intel Mac mini is refusing to mount every dmg I download: Firefox, EyeTV update etc etc. Reason: Broken pipe.
Any solutions folks?
Thanks in anticipation.
Mike Owen.

Do the following
With the mbp turned on, insert install disk 1, then shut down the computer. Restart the mbp holding down the "C" key until you come to a screen that says "use english as main language."
Select english and click the continue arrow one time only. Allow the installer to launch, but do not continue with a reinstall. Instead, go to the "utilities" menu in the top menu bar and select "disk utility."
Once disk utility asks you to select a drive, volume or image, select "Macintosh HD" (unless you have renamed your boot volume.)
Make sure you are on the "first aid" tab. From here you can repair permissions and verify disk. I would advise doing both. If disk verification fails you can also repair disk.
Doing this may address any issues caused by repeatedly being powered off manually.
Hope it helps

Disk Images Failing to Mount: Reason - Broken Pipe

Ever since the recent 10.4.9 patch, I have been unable to install .dmg files onto my MacBook. Everytime I try to execute a .dmg file, I get the following error:
Disk Images failed to mount:
Program: Messenger602.dmg
Reason: Broken Pipe
I have absolutely no clue as to what it means. I've used the Disk Utility in order to repair the disks and permissions without any luck. I've restarted my computer a couple of times and that failed. I've also checked the forums on the subject and there were some topics on the subject but none of them were able to fix my problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

It turns out that the 10.4.9 patch didn't install fully and corrupted some system files which is why I was unable to open .dmg files.
I just ran and Archive and Install and everything works fine now!
Hope this helps to anyone who has the same problem

Disk Won't Mount - Broken Pipe

I'm no longer able to mount disk images that I have downloaded. Double-clicking on the downloaded .dmg gives me a cryptic message: "The following image failed to mount." "Reason: Broken pipe"
I attempted to mount it using the hdiutil command and got the following:
michael-babcocks-computer:~ MB$ hdiutil attach /MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _DIGetLocalKey

So far I have done the following:
Repaired permissions
Verified disk with Disk Utilities (passed verification)
Rebuilt directory with DiskWarrior
Checked file structure with DiskWarrior
Ran Tech Tools Pro 4.5.1 to repair structures & files
Uninstalled WindowShade 4.1.2 & APE
Purged all caches with both Cocktain & Cache Out X
Zapped the PRAM
Anything I can do, short of a system re-install? I've got a (Intel) Mac Pro running 10.4.9 -- It seems to have happened after downleading the 10.4.9 upgrade via Software Update.
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I too accepted the Software Update, as I always have in the past, and so I downloaded the 10.4.9 update on my MacPro. The installer for the System Update (third installer to run, after Quicktime and iTunes) gave me the "disk image failed to mount: broken pipe" message. From then on I have not been able to mount any DMG files.
If I use "hdiutil mount" in Terminal on any DMG I get this sort of output:

A search for the term "_DIGetLocalKey" in Google returns NO links. Nothing at all in billions of webpages? What's with that? However, I've seen enough posts on this very topic to see that it has been a common experience for the update to 10.4.9.
Other than going back to 10.4.8 and using the Combo Installer, is there something that can be done to fix this specific problem?
For example: Might there be a problem in the DiskImages Framework?

Disk Images Won't Mount: Broken Pipe

iBook G4 933 MHz, 640 MB RAM, OS X 10.4.8.
I have two Macs: the offender above, and an eMac G4 800 MHz, both running OS X 10.4.8. Lately, my iBook has refused to mount Disk Images (.dmg format), instead giving a "broken pipe" error.

Sorry about the length, but I thought someone might need it.
The eMac still mounts disk images with no problem.
I've never run VPC on this machine, so this isn't tied to the VPC disk mounting bug I've seen on the lists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas!

I solved the error by installing the OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update. This update was in a .dmg file, of course, but I mounted the disk image on my eMac and then copied the update to the iBook. Goes to show the advantage of having 2 machines in case one breaks.
HTH someone else.

Mounting Failed - Broken Pipe

You'll have to forgive me, I'm new to posting in these forums and I'm really not 100% sure if this should be listed under software or hardware problems.
So every time I try to download something I get the same series of error messages over and over again "Mounting Failed" - "Unable to mount - Broken Pipe". I honestly don't know what this means and haven't been able to find any kind of solution for this problem. I love my iMac but Apple's support is beyond awful, I have to pay some idiot $50 so he can tell me he has no clue what I'm talking about and that I'm basically going to have to send it in anyways.
I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem and if so, what did you do to fix it? For once I'd like to be able to fix a problem on my own instead of throwing more money at this company to fix a problem that didn't even start happening until after one of their routine software updates. I would really appreciate any advice anyone has to offer me (Other than don't buy a Mac ever again)...Thanks : )

I had this problem. A temporary fix was here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4397173
(see the second post)
For me, a permanent solution was to apply the 10.4.10 Combo Update. Make sure it's the Combo Update. Even if you already have 10.4.10, run it.
You can find it here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
(You'll need to mount it using the temporary fix.)
Good luck.

There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

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

What exactly is a broken pipe error is

Hi
we get often the exception
"java.io.IOException: Broken pipe" "java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe" and a few like these in our logfile. Not sure why it throws. Can anyone help me out in getting some idea about it.

The "*java.net.IOException: Broken pipe*" error comes due to following reasons:
1- If the client disconnects before it has completely received the response.
2- If the user hits the Stop button, or clicks another link while the previously clicked operation is in process.
Don't worry. This error is not dangerous.
The "*java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe*" error occurs due to following reasons.
1- If you invoke a connection when the other end has already terminated it.
2- If you have a poorly implemented application protocol.
3- If the database server closes the connection after a predefined interval if nothing has happened.
This is in fact an error due to your poor implementation.
