Disappearing Disk Images

Okay, so because we've had consistent issues with using Application Manager to install the ID 8.0.1 update, (NOTE: This is not the problem I'm posting about), we install them manaually.
In the situation I'm posting about, for whatever reason, the Illustrator updates didn't work either. No big deal, this is the only time I've seen that. So download ID 8.0.1, and Ill. 16.0.3 and 16.0.4.
Mount all three disk images, and then apply the updates in this order:
16.0.3
16.0.4
then ID 8.0.1
When the ID installer finished, it not only unmounted its own disk image, but the other two as well. Since this is an adobe installer, I couldn't look to see what had specifically caused this. Since installing and updating CS6 is somewhat...time consuming, I'm not about to see if it's just Adobe update disk imaage that are unmounted by the ID 8.0.1 udpater or all disk images.
Just thought someone on the ID team should take a look at the post install scripts in the installer and check to see how they're unmounting images.

Thank you for the feedback Bynkii.

  • Disk images not mounting

    Here's the question: how come .dmg files downloaded from apple.com (amongst other places) won't mount?
    Here's the detail: This has to be a FAQ going by Google searches. I've downloaded the Mac Firefox DMG 3 times, and the Safari DMG from apple.com once, and when I try to mount the images I get a range of different cryptic errors, including "codec overrun", "not recognized", "error -some number or other", and so on. Sometimes, I get two different errors for the Safari image.
    Existing disk images on my hard drive mount fine. Today my hard disk has been playing up, with files being corrupted, keychain being broken, prefs disappearing, and so on. I boot from the Tiger DVD, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk, tells me no repairs carried out as all hunky dory. Use Disk Utility on the HD to check permissions, those are fine. Run Onyx maintenance, all is fine. I've not changed the router prefs at all, so it's not that corrupting the downloads.
    All was fine until mid-afternoon today, when a number of apps (Firefox, Safari, Dreamweaver) started behaving strangely and the machine kept on hanging. On restart a number of taskbar icons became question marks, so something's being corrupted. Some downloaded PDFs became corrupted.
    What I might try to do is download DMGs from my work PC, put them on a stick, and try to mount them. If the problem recurs then that would eliminate download errors.
    My conclusion is that either the OS has become damaged, or the HD is physically fubar'd, or at least has some physical errors on it somewhere which DU isn't picking up. If the latter I'm screwed as I'm out of warranty and I might as well chuck the machine in the bin, so let's hope it's the OS. I could reinstall the OS (again) but a) that would be highly time-consuming as I'd also have to reinstall a shedload of apps, prefs, configs, etc, and b) if there's a physical HD error it'll do zero.
    I've already spent some fruitless and frustrating hours today on diagnosis, and having done tech supp in my career I know what to look for, so this is my last throw of the dice to try to get some kind person to suggest a) a diagnosis, and b) suggestions for a cure.
    Without a cure I might as well take a clawhammer to the thing and get a Linux laptop. Ok, PCs are far inferior to Macs with crappy hardware, but at least you don't lose over a thousand quid when your PC laptop fails.

    I was able to get a partial fix of this problem by following instructions that I found on the All Experts web site:
    Regarding disk images and mounting media:
    delete the following files and folders:
    * /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache (file)
    * /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (file)
    * /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches (folder)
    (Note that after deleting these files you need to reboot your Mac for the fix to take effect.)
    All of these files and folders were date 18 Aug 2009, which is in around the timeframe when I installed the last security update for OS10.4 ppc.
    I say the solution is a partial fix, because it did allow me to open some, but not all .dmg files (the problematic ones are showing a checksum error). Now I find that iTunes will not operate (yeah I know that should be another thread), but I have not used it in several weeks, prior to the last OS update.

  • Even after resets get "The backup disk image "/Volumes/FreeAgent GoFlex Drive/MacBeth (2) 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22)."

    HELP!  "The backup disk image “/Volumes/FreeAgent GoFlex Drive/MacBeth (2) 1.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 22)."
    TC estimates over 750GB for full backup.
    Late 2010 MBA is connected wirelessly to
    802.11n (1st gen) TC that is connected via ethernet hub built into house to motorola router using charter.com for internet.
    I have had same problem for over 150 days and multiple reboots, restarts in proper order, firmware updates, unplugs with 5min plus gaps, bypassing the tc and using external 500gb WD mybook via usb to time capsule, replacement of the WD mybook to new 2TB Free Agent GoFlex drive, etc, etc, etc!  Note: I originally named my MBA hard drive MacBeth, but at some point months ago, it said backup already existed and system automatically created MacBeth (2), worked for a while, then stopped again, despite trying nearly daily.
    I gave up and started using Carbon Copy Clone daily for just the 128gb on internal SSD of my late 2011 11" MacBook Air, but need to get past these time capsule errors to back up the external disk!  Due to lack of space in MBA, I had long ago transferred both itunes and iphoto and all imovie/fcpx files to a 1tb external disk (WD Passport) that I keep in my bag with MBA.  It is partitioned with 150gb for cloning the MBA, and over 750gb for media/itunes/iphoto/etc.
    Also, I have endured months of "your hard drive is full" messages and system lockups, applying the solution given to me by genious bar (deleting all aol.com outboxes/recovered messages/spam/trash under library/mail/V2/Mailboxes folders, empty trash, restart....watch recovered hard drive space mysteriously shrink next couple days to zero.....repeat)
    Due to lack of space, I had not been able to do javascript and other system updates.  Yesterday, I noticed even safari bookmark bar had mysteriously emptied (not disappeared, I can hide and show the space where the bar used to be - it is just blank area with no data except for eyelass-book-topsites icons), so I transferred a few large quicktime movie files recorded with isight camera to the external disk, and freed up 20 gbs for the first time!
    This got my hopes up yesterday because after I completed all system/software updates, suddenly the bookmark bar showed up and I was able to start the time capsule backup! It took overnight preparing for backup, but finally started and progressed to 12gb of the 100gb+ needed (i guess the update where it left off months ago for the estimated 750gb for the full backup?), then I put system to sleep and took it with me (thus leaving the wireless time capsule network as I do daily fully expecting it to continue when I returned home in the evening.)  But alas, upon return, back to the "Time Machine could not complete backup, The backup disk image ".....sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22)"  Ugh!  More reboots, unplugs, 5min gaps....still Ugh!
    So the problem continues...please help!  Here are my settings:
    About this mac:
    Mac OS X V. 10.7.5
    processor 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo, memory 4 4g 1067 MHz DDR3
    software up to date!
    Airport Utility:
    V 6.2 (620.33)
    both internet globe and TC show green dots in graphic, however internet occasionally shows yellow then goes to green, but still gets error 22.  Suddenly TC showed explanation mark and says lost connection and asked if I wanted to 'forget', gave same errors, then mysteriously went back to green, but still got error 22!.

    wireless clients: phones, macbooks (including this MBA), printers, wii
    If you need other settings to help me, just ask!  I have read a few of the other solutions in forums, but trying not to erase disks, especially since it worked for a minute yesterday!

    To step sideways.. why not just use CCC to backup the 750GB of the hard disk to the TC.
    You need to understand this is going to be a super slow process and each time you stop it.. it is going to give issues. CCC will at least do a more reliable job of it than TM.
    I would also say.. this is going to be tough without ethernet. You need to understand the backup speed over wireless can be 10GB per hour.. that makes 75hrs to backup the disk. The air needs to run non-stop doing that.. without you touching it.
    I would get another external drive.. plug that into the MBA and if you really want to use TM.. make a backup one to the other.. but CCC will again do a better job and work faster. It will be much faster than over wireless.
    I am trying to think of ways around the issue of just speed.. but plainly you have lots of other issues.. being the simple unreliablity of the TM to identify the TC.
    If you want to make this work.. give yourself a weekend.
    Load 5.6 utility into the MBA..
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Take the TC back to 7.5.2 firmware. It is a really old version and latest firmware does it no good at all.
    Wipe its hard disk using erase and start over.. give it new names for everything.
    So call it TC
    Set the wireless to 5ghz and name it TC5ghz
    Use WPA2 Personal security. Use a 10 character passkey non dictionary.
    At 5ghz you should get 2x the speed as at 2.4ghz but the air will need to be right next to the TC..
    (alternatively buy the USB to ethernet cord apple have available.. it is $30 in the apple store and do it over pseudoethernet. http://store.apple.com/au/product/MC704ZM/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter That is the wrong store but you get the idea. )
    WIth a fully clean system.. now do a full reset of TM.
    See A4 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Direct the TM to back to the TC.. and make sure the external hard disk is not excluded.
    Of course the TC has to be 1TB version to fit that much data.. goes without saying right.
    Even over pseudo - ethernet this will take many hours.. and you basically have to leave it to work.. do not touch it.. make sure the MBA cannot sleep though.. turn off sleep.. beforehand.

  • CDs, DVDs, disk images won't appear in Sidebar or on Desktop

    Hello,
    Brand new iMac 2.16, right out of the box.
    CDs, DVDs, and Disk Images won't appear on the desktop or in the Sidebar. Nothing is shown over the horizontal gray line at the top of the sidebar, no Macintosh HD, Servers, etc. Disk Images are fully functional, ie Disk Utility recognizes and mounts them just fine.
    I checked Mac Help and followed its instructions:
    (1) In Finder preferences:Pane:General, all 'Show These Items on the Desktop' boxes are checked.
    (2) In Finder preferences:Pane:Sidebar, I checked all boxes under "Show These Items in the Sidebar. BUT these changes are NOT retained. After I close the Preferences, the Sidebar does not change. If I re-open the Sidebar preferences, the relevant boxes are now unchecked, as if I'd never done a thing.
    Restarting was the only way to fix the problem. Thereafter, the upper items in the Sidebar (Macintosh HD, external drives, iPod, CDs) sometimes SPONTANEOUSLY disappear. They still show up on the desktop, but tweaking the Sidebar preferences is again ineffective. Restarting is the only solution.
    Thank you for your help,
    Andy

    Hi Andy, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    1] Everything elmac says is helpful and correct.
    2] An upgrade to 10.4.8 with the 10.4.8 Combo from blue apple / Mac OS Updates might fix your hiccup. If you don't want .8 then .7 combo.
    3] [OT] For some minor security issues, it is better to surf the internet in a standard account. If you are surfing in an admin account then here is how to switch and maintain prefs.
    Set up a new account in System Preferences / Accounts / +
    and make it have admin priviledges. Be sure to remember short name and password since you will be asked to "authenticate" when running in your standard account. This new account is often called "test" in these forums.
    Once that is done convert your regular account to standard.

  • How do you create a disk image using Disk Copy?

    Hello,
    Is there any way you can create a disk image using Disc Copy? Is there a better way to create a Disk Image?
    I would like to burn two copies of a 4.2 gig folder on my mac. I usually insert a blank DVD-R and then the mac asks if I would like to prepare it at which point I click "yes". An icon of a DVD disk appears on the desktop and then I drag my files onto this icon. It takes a few moments to create the disc image and then I click "burn". However, after the disc is burned the disc image disappears and I have to start all over again if I want to make another copy.
    How can I save this disc image? If I could save the disc image, it would enable me to burn a second DVD right after the first without having to create the disk image all over again. This would save a lot if time.
    I am using OS 10.1.5
    Thank you for any suggestions

    Thanks Niel for the info about creating a Disk Image with the Disk Copy utility in OS 10.1.5
    That worked however when I insert a blank DVD-R, the disk image still has to be copied to the DVD-R buffer and then it can be burned. And so this doesn't really save any steps - the "copying into the buffer" step still has to occur whether or not you have created a disk image of your files. So creating a disk image doesn't really shorten the process of burning multiple copies of a DVD.
    I will try to describe the steps more clearly:
    Two of the three steps for creating a DVD (steps 2 and 3) are very time-consuming:
    1. put blank DVD into the drive (a DVD disk icon quickly appears)
    2. drag files onto this icon (this step takes a long time as the files are copied into the buffer)
    3. choose "burn" (the actual burning also takes a long time)
    I was hoping that when I create two or more DVDs of the same files, I could first create a Disk image so that when I create the second DVD, step 2 could be skipped. That does not seem to be the case - the disk image still has to be re-loaded. And so I think I will not bother with the Disk image idea - it doesn't seem to be necessary or helpful when burning DVDs to backup data.
    Thanks for your suggestion.

  • Disk Images do not mount - Update to Lion on New MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    Just got my new MacBook Pro 2011 13 inch higher spec with 750GB hard drive today. Updated immediately to OS X lion via the up to date programme for free. Am in the process of restoring my applications that I had on my old computer that are on my external hard drive, however the .dmg disk images will not load properly. They go through the regular process of verifying then mounting the disk image, then the image appears for a split second on my desktop before disappearing again.
    This happens even if i copy the disk image off of my external hard drive to my macintosh HD and try to mount from there.
    This is really really scaring me as if I can't load all my old applications my new computer is absolutely useless. Please please could someone tell me what is going on!?!?!??!?!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Sam

    Woke up this morning and tried again and now they all mount fine... Don't know how this happened but the only things I have done differently are trying to mount a dmg that was on my old computer over the network, and it mounted fine, then mounted other dmgs that were previously not working, and they are all fine too. I'm halfway through downloading software updates but all its done so far is download updates for iweb and itunes, and they haven't started running yet anyway.
    With love from,

  • Disk image mounting and disk utility oddities on Xserve running OS X Server

    I continue to run into an odd problem on one of my server setups. It is a 1.33 GHZ Xserve running OS X Server 10.4.11. There are four ATA drive installed (two of which are mirrored using Softraid 3.6.6). There are a total of 6 Firewire drives on the Firewire 800 Bus. Three of those are used for sharing out files and the other three are for various backups.
    What happens is that I sometimes run into an issue where dmg files will not mount. There are no error messages and nothing in the log, they just don't open. Likewise I am unable to launch Disk Utility, it just spins and spins never displaying the drives, again nothing in the logs, no crashreporter. I have also found out that the same thing happens in System Profiler when I try to get a list of drives on either the ATA bus or the Firewire bus. Mind you they all show up on the desktop. Likewise I have had no luck getting them to list or run permissions or the like from the diskutil commandline. Now I am able to mount actual drives. When I swap out the offsite backup drive it mounts the new drive just fine. However... when I eject the drive and it has disappeared from the desktop and then I remove it... I get the removal error.. you didn't put the drive away properly message.
    Now there are no disk related events showing up anywhere in the logs. The only other oddity that I can see is that my rsync backups tend to generate a ton of zombie processes. I get zombies of cron, sh, rsync, and mail.
    It is just a pretty straightforward shell script
    /usr/local/bin/rsync -E --archive -eahfs --delete /Volumes/Files/Shared\ Items/ /Volumes/Backup\ Files/Shared\ Items/
    Running in cron with it set to email the logs.
    Now this does all clear up when I reboot the server... but it also doesn't reboot cleanly. It closes down all of the applications, login window and the like and then hangs on the shut down portion. Eventually I have to power it off manually. I've done the normal Volume checking on the main drives and they come up with 0 errors.
    Hoping someone might have some ideas before I end up having to backup and reinstall the whole thing.

    Also when I try to open the disk image file I get the following error in the log.
    xserve kernel[0]: disk10s10: media is not present.

  • Time Machine creates new disk image when backing up but files not visible

    When I back up my files (daily) to tan external drive TM creates a new disk image (named laptop) on my desktop (in addition to the image for the external drive named TIme Machine Backups). When I click on the new disk image while it's backing up I see a list of recent backups. However the disk image disappears after completing the back up and the files do not appear in the Star Wars screen - only old back-ups from 2009. How can I access the newest backups?

    alanol wrote:
    A disk image labeled Time Machine Backups resides permanently on the desktop
    Right-click it, and select +Get Info.+ See what the path is (after +Disk image+ near the top of the General section).
    Also the amounts for Capacity and Used.
    as a consequence of the repair a sparse bundle (Zero KB) folder was created.
    No. That may have been created by the new backup, though.
    Also a new "lost +found" folder was created containing several ".emix" files.
    Those are email files.
    Net, net - same basic problem, can't see the newest backups in the Star Wars screen.
    I suspect they're in the disk image.
    Do you have any external HDs connected?
    Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Best Settings for making a Secure, Reliable Disk Image?

    Hi guys!
    Can anybody direct me to the best settings that can be used to make a secure Disk image using the MacOS X disc utility?
    I wish to make my computer family friendly, yet keep my proffessional and private files secure/private and innaccesible to children and unautorized individuals. I have heard that files saved inside encrypted images (password protected) are also not indexed in the finder wich is perfect for the privacy I seek (this is true right?).
    I know how to access the tools, but the right settings for making a trustworthy image remain elusive. Already tried with some of the formats and information placed inside...started becoming glitchy and unreliable, even after removing the files and making them unencrypted again.I'm abaout to try with the HFS+ format.
    I cannot lose the files I wish to protect. But I need to secure them and if anything, be capable of backing up the image by copying it into a HFS+ formated external hard drive every once in a while. Can this be done?
    Is there a risk of data loss in the encryption process? One of my external drives (FAT 32) even started to make unrelated neighboring folders "disappear" after making an image inside ( I though I could make an image anywhere and save stuff securely at that point...but nearly losing the entire cashe of info made me backtrack and simply avoid the process until i'm sure of what I'm setting up---so many compatibility problems!)
    • Don't know what settings to use.
    • Some say there is a small chance of a disk image being damaged or corrupted (for no reason whatsoever)...but having trouble right off the bat, with a brand new image worries me. WHAT ARE THE RISKS? Is the system unrefined and unrealiable?
    I plan to make the Image a sparse file,using the HMS+ format, 400GB....regular encryption. I plan to copy all my sensitive stuff inside and delete unprotected copies. Risky? Are images unreliable in general? or where my glitches abnormalities?---Can the images hold collections of files or do they become more unrealiable the bigger they get (what I fear). I don't wan't to have to make dozens of images to protect my files.
    Can a external drive be formated to HMS+ and accept  a drag and dropped copy of a 400GB image? FAT32 will just not accept it. Would there be risk of the image being damaged in the transfer? NOTE that copying the data into an external drive would be to have a secure backup of the data. If I can't trust the backup to be carbon copy intact...it isn't a backup.
    Securing files is really proving to be bothersome, despite having "refined" tools at my disposal.
    Thanks for your help!

    Do you place your backups on external disks? Are your external disks formatted HFS+?
    Can HFS+ Disk image be Drag dropped into a HFS+ formatted external disk in order to copy them? or is the process blocked like what happens to large Disk images in FAT 32?
    I'm trying to lock on to the right format to apply to everything. My steps will be:
    Make the image: So far a sparse image in HFS+ format, 400 GB, No partition map.
    Drag sensitive work to Disk image. Once transfer in complete delete originals.
    Format an external disk into the journaled HFS+ format. Drag drop Secure disk image to back it up.
    Do you see any problems with this process? Anything i'm missing?

  • Hey People,  Disk Image?  Unmount?

    New to macs, wanted to use Toast to copy a DVD I get a message telling me "disk cound not be unmounted , all open files and programs on this volume must be closed first" So what does unmount mean and how do you do it? I've searched and can not find the answer, also what is a "disk image" ? I guess these things are so simple that theres no need to post the info anywhere, but I'm stumped.
    Powermac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    A disk image file is a disk file containing a complete disk (including its own catalog of files in the disk image). When it is "mounted" (by double-clicking the disk image file) OSX treat the disk image file as if it were a disk drive. It will appear in the Finder sidebar (with an eject symbol next to it) and/or on the desktop, depending on Finder preferences. When it is dismounted, by selecting the file and pressing Cmd-E (eject), its icon disappears from the Finder sidebar and/or desktop, and the files it contains become unavailable to OSX.

  • The backup disk image "/Volumes/AirPort Disk-1/Angelo's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    It worked fine. Now I get the same crap as everyone else lucky me!
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/AirPort Disk-1/Angelo’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    Hi Bob there's an eject button next to the Time Capsule in Finder. Also when I press the select disk button is it suppose to show 2 disks for Time Capsule because it shows 2. Also when the backup was taking place I opened up Time Machine preferences to watch it doing the backup. Could this also have caused it? Also when I pressed the eject button Time Machine was showing up under the Time Capsule but now it disappeared. I read that if it's mounted it will cause this error.

  • Spotlight's blind spot: Spotlight comments on Disk Utility disk images.

    Has anyone but me noticed that Spotlight goes blind to Spotlight Comments once the files are moved into a 256-bit encrypted read/write disck image created with Disk Utility? I don't have iPhoto, and I keep photos in too many categories for that anyway. I keep all my keywords in Spotlight comments in Finder attached to each file and create "albums" on the fly with Spotlight searches.
    But as soon as I moved the whole mess into a read/write 256-bit encrypted disk image created with "from folder" in Disk Utility....I can still see all the comments in Finder GetInfo, but Spotlight can't. I even tried adding comments to the search field list and it still sees nothing, not even when the disk image is mounted and visible in my Finder window sidebar.
    What am I missing?

    Yes, I search while the drive is mounted.
    Yes, I can drag it into and out of Spotlight's Privacy Pref's Pane. While it's in there the entire drive obviously disappears from Spotlight's searches. Once I - it from the exclude list it returns to seeing folder names only, but still finds nothing based on Spotlight Comments.
    I'm starting to think Apple left that bit of code out. Anybody know how to put it back in?

  • Deleted Disk Image but space is not available on hard drive

    I was trying to share the iPhoto library across users by creating a Disk Image via Disk Utility.
    It didn't go a planned as I needed more space than originally allocated. The resizing option in Disk Utility specified the Maximum Size was less than what I needed.
    My next step was to delete this Disk Image, I believe I did this by selecting Edit > Delete
    The Disk Image disappeared however the 80 GB never reappeared on my harddrive as available.  I tried emptying the Trash but that did not correct the problem.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    No the /Volumes folder twtwtw is refering to is at the top level of the root disk.
    To see it open a Finder window and select the Go menu item
    then select Go to Folder…
    Now in the window that opens enter /Volumes
    Then Go
    the /Volumes folder will open. There should be no regular files or folders in there

  • Encrypted disk image sometimes mounts without password

    I have an encrypted sparsebundle disk image containing sensitive information.  On occasion (maybe one time out of ten), I'm able to mount it without being prompted for the password.
    The password for the image is not stored in my keychain.  Can anyone offer advice on this issue?

    I was having exactly this same problem!
    I keep a small encrypted disk image storing sensitive banking information. I do NOT have the option to store passwords in Keychain checked, and I verified that the password is not being stored in Keychain.
    Yet, when I double-clicked the supposedly encrypted sparsebundle disk image, it opened right up and mounted - no password required! Unbelievable, right? So I started to investigate.
    I first noticed this behaviour in Mountain Lion, I'm running 10.8.4 on a 2.7 GHz 15" MBPr.
    In past versions of OS X I would mount the volume to work on it by double-clicking on the disk image, enter my passowrd, and then Eject the volume either by dragging to the trash or clicking the Eject button on the Sidebar. The next time I would try to access the disk image by double-clicking it, it would again prompt for a password. All good.
    What seems to be happening in ML is, using the same workflow, even though the volume is disappearing from Finder, the disk image is not actually being unmounted!
    When I go to Disk Utility, the disk image is still mounted, but the volume is grayed out. When I Eject the disk image in Disk Utility, it then reverts to the expected bahaviour, and double-clicking on the disk prompts for a password.
    So the workaround seems to be when finished working on the volume, go to Disk Utility and manually Eject the disk image (as opposed to just the volume it mounts) to ensure it has unmounted and is thus again encrypted. The reason for it sometimes requiring a password, sometimes not is probably because after a restart of the computer it would unmount all disks, and then be unable to re-mount it until the password is entered. But in between, unless you were aware of this behaviour anyone with access to the disk image can view its contents.
    What a terrible security flaw IMO, as there is no visual indication in Finder that the disk image is still unprotected after you unmount its volume and that icon disappears! I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention.
    Incidentally brian_c, I tried to look at your linked videos but it returns the message that the videos violated the TOS of the site...?

  • Thermometer and mounted disk image???

    I've set Time Machine to back up to a disk across my network.
    Everytime it runs, I'm seeing the disk image mounted on my desktop and a thermometer showing me the progress. Both disappear when it's done.
    This only started happening recently. I don't know why, and it's kind of annoying.
    Is that how it's supposed to work? Again, it only started doing it recently.

    When the image is mounted, click here and follow the instructions after modifying them to make the drive invisible.
