Disk Image could not be opened: image not recognized

So I downloaded the free student versions of both Maya and Maya LT from the autodesk website. It took a little while to download the .dmgs, but once I got them, I couldn't run them. Every time I double click them the disk image mounter tells me "Disk Image could not be opened: Image not recognized." Why? What am I doing wrong? I could have sworn I downloaded the mac version of each program, could that have something to do with it?

benchristianson,
perhaps both of your downloaded disk images were only partially downloaded?

  • Warning  The following disk images could't be opened  Photoshop_13_LS16.dr   error - 4960

    Warning  The following disk images could't be opened  Photoshop_13_LS16.dr   error - 4960

    This is a Mac OS error that it is unable to mount the disk image.
    Basic issue: the dmg probably did not download completely or got corrupted during the download.
    I think that it might be best to redownload the files.

  • Photoshop CS3 will not Display Open Image on Workspace -- only in the Navigator

    I am using a Compac laptop computer with Windows XP Home with the Creative Suite 3 and 2 Gb of RAM.
    The problem I am running into is that when I open a file in Photoshop CS3, it will open, however it only shows up in the navigator, not on the desktop/workspace. I can "zoom in" and "zoom out" however it is only reflected in the navigator, it still does not show up to be able to edit.
    I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the entire Creative Suite. That sometimes helps, but it doesn't seem to last. It has been happening now for about 6 months.
    It seems strange so any advice/help would be wonderful!!

    First things first.
    Your image seems to be off screen. Try changing to the default workspace or changing the screen resolution to see if it becomes visible. Were you previously on two monitors?
    Also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Disk Images couldn't be opened

    Trying to install Illustrator trial, receive message "The following disk images couldn't be opened: Image; Illustrator_16_LS16.dmg, Reason; invalid checksum"
    What do I need to do to install this successfully?

    Same problem here. Restarting Mac fixes it for awhile, but then I start getting the "No such file" error again.

  • Can't create folder on external hard drive from LR. or open images from LR in PS.

    I just restored my mac back to factory settings and reinstalled LR 5.  When I try to create a folder on the external hard drive it gives me this message
    "The folder /Volumes/Leigh's/Picutures/2014 could not be created on disk."
    Also, when I go to "EDIT IN" PS it gives me this message
    "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Leigh's/Picutures/2013/Cypress/untitled-4-Edit_tonemapped.tif for editing.
    It will not be opened."
    Not sure what happened since I restored the computer and reinstalled LR. Might it have something to do with using the same HD from my Time Machine back up?
    Thanks.

  • No image when open using open image sequence

    I cloned my macpro disk to a new, larger hdd using carbon copy. After doing when I open Quicktime 7 I'm unable to see an image when I..
    file > open image sequence
    All I see is the player, but no (first) jpg image in the sequence. I even tried paying for Q7 again and getting a new reg code   See image below.

    Hi,
    you can try to switch between the devices when you go to START - Control Panel - Display - Settings. There you see Screen 1 and 2 and you can switch between them! Also at Advanced at Dual display settings or Extended desktop are settings which should be checked!

  • One of the specified disk images could not be opened

    I cannot believe how instable my system is. I switched to Mac to get a reliable system, but I cannot do without Windows entirely, hence my heavy use of VPC.
    Today I got the small grey screen "You need to restart your computer". I was running VPC at the time. All apps were closed except Windows Explorer (the file system). The cause was merely unplugging my broadband connection. Wow!
    On rebooting VPC I got:
    "One of the specified disk images could not be opened. The disk image file is not the correct file type or uses a file format that is unsupported by this version of Virtual PC."
    I "detached" my "drives" 2+3, which were pointing to my Drive2.vhdp and Drive3.vhdp data "drives" and tried again. No luck.
    Drive 1 was pointing to Disk1.vhdp, which is a part of my Windows 2000.vpc package. I don't believe that it was pointing there before the crash.
    # side note #
    (The Windows 2000.vpc package is an old installation that I don't use but have not deleted. I currently use one called: "Windows 2000 copy 1-011105") which might or might not be a copy of "Windows 2000.vpc." I've had so many problems, it's hard to say.
    I then tried and successfully detached the Disk1.vhdp and received a warning:
    "The hard drive data previously used by Drive 1 is no longer contained in this PC document. The data has been moved to a separate Virtual Hard Drive Document "Windows 2000 copy 1-011105 Disk1.vhdp".
    On examining the above package I find:
    BaseDrive.vhd 14.45GB (size about right) dated last night when I last closed VPC
    MainPackageFile Alias
    UndoDrive1.vud dated at the time of the problems.
    On examining my "Windows 2000 copy 1-011105.vpc7 I find:
    Configuration.plist
    IconCache
    MainPackageFile Alias
    StartMenu.plist
    Do you have a suggestion as to how I can rescue my above mentioned BaseDrive.vhd please? This is more recent than my last back-up.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Problem solved.

  • Error Message: The following disk images could not be opened

    When downloading the free trial for CS6 for Mac, I get an Error message stating that "the following disk images could not be opened: Photoshop_13_LS16.dr invalid checksum.
    Please help!!!

    Is there any messages within the Adobe Download Assistant?  This error can happen if you try mounting the DMG before the download is complete.

  • XQuartz disk image could not be opened

    Hi, I am running Mac OS 10.8.  To launch the Matlab software, x11 is requred. I was pointed to install XQuartz as x11 is not available under Mountain Lion. When I double clicked the .dmg file, I got a message that the disk image could not be opened. Anybody knows how to solve the problem?

    Thank you. But opening X11 leads to the Apple Support page "About X11 and OS X Mountain Lion". From there, one can visit the website xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ 
    I downloaded XQuartz-2.7.4.dmg there. I am having problem with that file when I clicked on it.

  • Time Machine / Time Capsule Error: Backup disk image could not be mounted

    So I'm trying to back up to time machine, which used to be working fine, but I have this problem happening on two computers now (which probably means the error is in my Time Capsule.)
    The Time Capsule shows up on my "shared" list in my finder windows.
    I can connect to it, and open the folder inside, and SEE my two disk image files in there.
    But Time Machine gives me a "The Backup Disk Image Could Not Be Mounted" error. No other information.
    If I double-click on the disk image file directly, I get an error "The Following disk images failed to mount" and then it lists the file and says "Resource temporarily unavailable."
    Help, please.

    I'm caught in the same loop, with no end in sight. I've only been using Time Machine and Time Capsule for 2 months. This week it stopped working. First error message:
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."
    Checking the Time Machine preferences, "Last backup" would read "backup failed"
    When I got this error, all the wireless functions went offline, even thought the TC light was still green.
    I would shut down, shut down the Time Capsule, shut off my modem reboot everything in order.
    Next error message:
    "Disk repair. The disk 'Backup of [my computer]' was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must backup your data and reformat the drive."
    Then: "Time Machine Error: The backup volume is read only. To select a different volume ... Time Machine preferences ... "
    I spoke to someone at Apple, who sent me the Time Machine Troubleshooting page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275?viewlocale=en_US
    I went through:
    1. updated my system software
    2. updated the TC firmware to 7.4.1
    3. dragged the sparsebundle to DiskUtility. It took a while (more than an hour?) but said the disk could not be repaired. When I tried again, the repair function wouldn't run.
    4. tried to delete the sparsebundle, but it would choke at almost the end, sometimes it would just crash the finder, sometimes say "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred," sometimes "Operation cannot be completed because the item 'bands' is in use." I even tried to Stuff the bundle with 'delete original' checked, but the stuffing, after about 15 hours, jammed near the end (stuffed 20 gigs of 35 gigs).
    5. tried to reselect the TC, and run backup anyways ... now it can't find the volume, back to the error messages and crashing Finder
    6. checked password in Keychain, all ok.
    Now what??
    Do I use Airport Utility to erase it? At least TC is still showing up there. Or press the rest button on the back of the Time Capsule to reset to factory defaults?
    I've resigned myself to losing my backups. Now I would just like to get it up and running again.
    In hopes,
    Linda
