Disk Imag Failed to mount Reason: No such file or directory

Hello,
I've been trying to download firefox and msn messenger for my mac!
Everytime i try to launch the .dmg it says 'Failed to mount' and the 'reason' is 'No such file or directory'
This happens with everything i download!
I dn't know what to do!
I've searched it, found some soloutions but nothing works!
Thanks Steve

I've had this happen before, if I remember correctly it's just because of a corrupt download. Try downloading the .dmg files again and they should work. The other problem is it may be a permissions error. Where are the files located that you're trying to mount? Try putting them in your home directory. My first guess would be a corrupt download though.
I was suprised to find no information in the support database, or on google for this erorr with disk images.
Hope this 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

When I download the 3.6.3 version I get a warning pop up saying 'the following disk images failed to mount'. What do I need to do to stop this from happening?

After downloading the a pop up box called Warning appears with saying 'The following disk images failed to mount' and below that there is a table that has Image with a Firefox 3.6.3 and another field called Reason saying Corrupt image. The current version of firefox I am using is 2.0.0.7

Disk Image Won't Mount - Reason: Device Not Recognized

As I've searched the discussion forums, I've seen plenty of postings for "Disk Image Won't Mount" and for "Device Not Recognized" but not the way I'm seeing it on my laptop.
After a backup and restore, my mac will no longer mount any... and I mean any images. I have downloaded several security or software updates from different vendors and each .dmg file will not mount. I still have the .dmg files in hopes that after I get this problem solved, I'll be able to install them, but...
It always gives the same reason for not mounting and I'm at a loss on what to do next. I've run Software Update hoping it will be a quick fix, but have had no success.
Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Using FireWire disk mode, I put a disk image of my entire iBook onto my iMac as a back-up. (For an unrelated problem, Apple told me I needed to erase my iBook completely and do a clean install of the system.) Well, I screwed something up. I don't know what exactly--maybe I didn't "put away" the device correctly, but the next day when I flipped on my iMac, the disk image of my iBook was just gone, and not to be found anywhere. I finally succeeded in restoring the image using TechTool, which scanned the entire volume of the iMac for directory information. And it's all there, because the img file is more than 10GB. But when I double-click on it, I get the following error msg: "The following disk images failed to mount...reason--not recognized." I've checked the app it's supposed to open with, permissions, and run Disk Utility volume repair. No dice. Any ideas??? Did I mention that this is EVERYTHING I had on my iBook???

Disk images failed to mount - codec overrun

Hi,
So after searching through the related posts I have been unable to correct my probelm, which is:
I am unable to open some .dmg files. I have tried to open three different .dmg files from a variety of sources and they all return the same error:
disk images failed to mount - codec overrun
However, I was able to update my system to 10.4.7 using the updater. This did not solve the problem. I then tried load the combo version of 10.4.7 as suggested in a different post and while it didn't load (I accidentally grabbed the powerPC version) it was able to open the .dmg and look in them.
Disk Utility is unable to attach the three that won't open. The first two Disk Utility was unable to verify or repair. The last (a cars game demo) was successfully verified but still came up with the codec overrun error when I tried to attach it. Finally I have tried removing the following two files and then restarting, to no effect.
/System/Library/Extension.kextcache
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
I'd appreciate any help offered. A search on codec overrun was of no use. I searched for "mount failed disk images" and variations of that to find what I have already tried.
Thanks
Pete

I am havin the same problems. codec overrun
I am trying to download stuffit from their site so I can open a program for school.
I tried to download the dmg file from the apple site but was given the same error. Codec overrun
Also I attempted to get the updates from the Apple site.......same error.
So far this computer will not download much of anything without some kind of an error. Essentially this Imac is a $2000 jukebox. It does play music wonderfully.
My roommate was able to downlad easily from the same internet connection with no problem the windows version of the program from te same site.
This is a brand new out of the box iMac. 20" 1 gig 250 GB machine. First Mac for me and it is turning into a real headache.
Any help with the codec overrun would be appreciated.

"Disk Images Fail to Mount/ OS X 10.4.10/Security Update 2007-006?"

Whilst downloading the most recent Mac OSX Update, 10.4.10 to a PPC G3, 600 MHz, with 1 GB SDRAM, I received an un-explained error message. Since then, my USB Web Cam doesn't function, some applications don't load, and I consistently get a Warning Message that disk images fail to mount as device not configured. Moreover, I got the distinct impression the aforementioned issues were related to the problem of installing Security Update 2007-006 which was roughly released at the same time.
How can I proceed to get matters back to normal? Would deeply appreciate advice from Apple Forum/Technical Support person(s) in all convenient speed. SOS!
Yours sincerely,
Joseph.
Power PC G3 Mac OS X (10.4.10) How do I uninstall the 10.4.10 update?

The problem took a somewhat bizarre twist when I got a phone call just after double clicking on a disk image file set to open with DiskImageMounter. When I came back from the phone call (about 2 minutes), the disk image was mounted, the MacBook wasn't frozen, and everything worked. With repeated testing, it now appears that both DiskImageMounter and Disk Utility hang for 65-75 seconds after starting the process of mounting a disk image and then complete the task successfully. Deleting the two cache files eliminates the hang (spinning beach ball), but only for a short while.

Deleted disk image generates warning that disk image failed to mount

When I got a new MacBook a month ago, I created a disk image to share an iPhoto library on the same computer. Now I am using an external hard drive to share the library. I deleted the disk image in Disk Utility, but when I start up I get the warning that the disk image failed to mount.
Any ideas?

Deleting the disk image from the trash seems to have fixed the problem.

Disk image failed to mount.

Hi,
While updating the latest Intel update for a Macbook Core duo 1.83, the progress bar got stuck near the end and so I did 'force quit'. Ever since then I am unable to open .dmg files. I get this message " The following disk images failed to mount". " 'application name' broken pipe".
What can I do to fix this problem?

It's hard to say if your disk image problem is related to the force quit install. There are disk image problems with 10.4.9 that you can encounter even if the install was successful. I am running into them and so are some users reporting on MacFixit.com (scroll down to Disk Images Not Mounting).

When I attempt to download Firefox 3.5.10 I get a warning stating "disk image failed to mount - corrupt image", what can I do?

I am attempting to download "Firefox 3.5.10", each attempt the results state "The disk image failed to mount due to corrupt image". I really need this browser for my on-line learning. Please help! By the way 2.0 downloaded fine, but is not compatible with the University web site.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Every time I attempted to download Firefox 3.5.10

Ran into this problem this afternoon. Had to download after the latest version failed to start after progressively becoming a bit tweeky. Got the failed to mount message also broken pipe, even though I am running 10.4.
I went into Mac OS Updates and downloaded the latest version of Java Script. After restart I was able to mount the new Firefox and it seems to be working now.

ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory

Hi,
I am using the scheduler to take backup of the dev database and it was working fine. Then I added notification to the scripts and then the scheduler started failing with the following code .
BEGIN dbms_scheduler.run_job('BACKUP_DEV'); END;
ERROR at line 1:

And here's the one which gives me the errors. Also if I run this script from command line it works perfectly fine
#!/bin/bash -x

exit $?
Pls let me know what could be the reason that the script fails with the scheduler.

Hi,
The user oracle who owns the scheduler already has permissions for the mailx and the same script is able to send notifications when run manully. Do I need to set additional permissions for scheduler ?
Also the db version is 10.2.0.5.
Thanks

[SOLVED] zsh: Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

I recently ordered a chromebook (acer c720) and have successfully replaced ChromeOS with Arch Linux. Things were going great the past 2 days but all of a sudden whenever I try to use tab completion on zsh (does not happen in bash or any other shell I've tested) I receive the message:
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
My .zprofile is:
emulate sh -c 'source /etc/profile'
#[[ -f ~/.zshrc ]] && . ~/.zshrc
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then

My .zshenv is:
export PATH=/home/zach/.bin:$PATH
export EDITOR=nano
export BROWSER=firefox
[[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]] && xrdb merge /home/zach/.config/xresources
My .zshrc is:

Is there something I'm missing or not considering? The tab completion still works, it just displays that message every time inline and it's really annoying. Also I searched google, the wiki, and the forums for any information regarding this and either my search-fu isn't strong enough or it's not showing up elsewhere.

Rename the "enable" and "disable" aliases. They are zsh hash table operators.

Tiger 10.4.11 update install reads disk image fails to mount

i've been trying to download the tiger 10.4.11 upgrade and when i go to open i get the following disc images failed to mount and a reason of item not recognized. i'm at a lose considering ti've downloaded the update several times with my slow dial up and tried disc utilty to correct it, all i want to do is use my new ipod nano but need to upgrade my itunes which means i need to upgrade my software please help pretty frustrated.

Would the same error occur if the update being downloaded is for an intel based computer and not the PPC, which is what is needed?
Here's the page for the 10.4.11 combo PPC download
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
Depending also what level of 10.4 you are presently at, downloading smaller combos/increments, may seem time consuming, but actually work better with dial up service. I was once dial up myself, and went through the same difficulty. Also with doing it this way, you would have to repair permissions with each download, and reboot if any were repaired. There would also be numerous security downloads, too.

Hi Narendra,
I just checked the link and it was ok. So maybe try again?
Copy/past Alain's post:
Hi,
-Buf cache is too high: SAM->kernel-> change dbc_pct_max from 50% to 10%.
-Whith GPM and command "extract" you can find which process consumme too much memory.
-Install lastest Quality Pack.
-With 32 bits processes, you can have problem with memory quadrant restriction. <= you have 64 bit so this is not of use to you
-Check kernel parameter related to max memory used by each process: maxdsiz
-Verify with swapinfo -tam and GPM -> memory.
