Disk image files error when dragging files from them

any disk image file .DMG that i download and it either has a file to drag to the hard drive or has an application in it. They mount fine and i can lookinside them but when i drag a file out it seems to partially copy them but then comes up and says..
Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -41).
If the dmg file has an installer it starts the installed and asks the normal question and permissions and then where to install to then try's to start but just errors again.
Anyone got any ideas. This is on a Mac intel Mini. Everything runs fine and as i said i fixted permissions it is an administrator account.
I have tried 3 disk images firefox opera and ablelive 5.2 they are not damaged or corrupted
thanks

I was having the same problem on my G4 Powerbook when I tried to install Adium and TextWrangler from disk images. After trying several things that didn't work I decided to see if my IP filter was the culprit. I opened PeerGuardian and disabled the filters. Then, I downloaded Adium again, and it copied easily from the disk image to my applications folder. Then, I tested TextWrangler and it worked as well. I don't know why that worked, and it might not be your problem, but I thought I'd pass on the info. Hope it helps.

DVDSP3-Can You Make A Disk Image File From DVDSP3?

*Hello again. I'm just finishing up my first go around w/DVDSP3. I was surprised that when I got to the burning options, that there was no option for burning a disk image file. Is it do-able on this program?*
*I burned out one disk and tested it on a couple different players, and "finally" it was good. After the burn, the prompt just said "Formatting finished". There was no option to burn another disk, nor could I find any place to bring up a menu, to tell it that I needed 4 disks. Therefore, it was hours just to get 4-15minute dvds burned, as it started the build all over again each time. Thanks again for the help!*
LarryWest

In the Format - even the Build and Format too - dialog, you have an option to write the disc to the hard drive.
If you need to make a copy at a later date (even after you've nuked everything from your hard drives, you can use Disk Utility in OS X to make a disc image from an existing DVD-R, then burn additional copies.

Is it safe to back up a disk image file when it's mounted?

Hi -
I use some small, encrypted ".sparsebundle" disk image files to keep my diary, banking info, etc., on. When I'm at the computer, I keep them mounted all the time.
Is it safe to let Time Machine automatically back up the .sparsebundle disk image files, even while they are mounted? Or would there be a possibility the backups would be corrupted, if the operating system hadn't written out cached data or something to the disk image file?
In other words, if I save any open documents on the mounted disk image, does the disk image file on disk always contain the fully-saved document and a consistent file system? Or could there still be some data cached in RAM, that would not be saved at the time the .sparsebundle file was copied? Is it always necessary to unmount a disk image before duplicating its .sparsebundle file?
Do I need to turn off Time Machine's automatic backup, and just do manual "backup now" after unmounting the disk images? That's a major pain in the behind... I really want to just let Time Machine do it's hourly backups as usual, but of course there's no point if the backups are corrupt.
Of course my own guess is "to be safe", I should unmount them before backing up. But again it's a big pain if it's not actually necessary. Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks...

My understanding is that Unix, generally, doesn't write everything out to disk immediately. There is caching in RAM to speed up disk access, including modified superblocks, modified inodes, and delayed reads and writes. Now, if you ask to read an individual file, the kernel makes sure all the cached data is written before it returns the read data. But if you try to do, for example, a block copy of the whole filesystem, the kernel doesn't know that, and there's no guarantee or expectation that the filesystem will be in a coherent state.
That's the purpose, for example, of the "sync" command - to write all this cached data to disk before unmounting, shutting down, etc., and, that's why the OS gets so upset if you just unplug a firewire drive. Because even if you've saved and closed any open documents, they haven't necessarily been fully written out to disk yet.
So what I don't understand, is how people are ever able to back up mounted disk image files without them getting corrupted. I mean, you'd think they would get corrupted all the time. It would be the equivalent of just unplugging your firewire drive before you made a backup of it, or of doing a block copy of a read/write mounted filesystem. There ought to be a very good chance of the filesystem being scrambled. So, why does it not happen?
Is there something different about the Apple filesystem, or Apple disk images? Or, maybe we're only talking about delay times in the cache of fractions of a second, so as long as you haven't written anything within a few seconds of the copy, and don't write anything during it, you're ok?
Even if Apple reps won't answer my question, the kernel and most likely all the low-level disk i/o and filesystem stuff is open source. Surely there's someone out there who would be knowledgeable enough to give a definitive answer? I was hoping to find someone like that here... I do appreciate your taking the time to answer my post, but maybe I need to go elsewhere, on some developers' mailing lists or something? Does anyone know of such a place I could start looking?
Thanks...

Drag image file from Windows Explorer to a new layer in an open file

I want to know if it's possible in CS3 to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into an already open file in PS. Right now when I drag over, it opens that file. I want to have it where the image is inserted as a new layer into the existing open file. is that possible?

Hi, I'm using CS4 and would love to be able to drag n drop straight to a new layer in an existing file.
At present when I drag n drop I get a new image in PS. I then have to move this to my existing image. I have tried draging to the tab, the layer box, the image, the blank space, using shift,ctrl & alt.
A simple how to would be nice

Windows Disk-Image File: What to Exclude from Time Machine?

I don't use Parallels very often, but when I do, the famous, predictable annoyance comes up: The Windows disk-image file under MacOS gets tweaked, and then suddenly Time Machine has this mondo-huge 25GB file to backup. That of course, clogs up my Time Machine backup drive.
A common solution appears to be to exclude that file from Time Machine, and then back it up by some other means. OK, I'm cool with that, if only I knew what that file is called, and where I could find it, so that I can tell Time Machine to exclude it.
I'm guessing it's somewhere down in System or System Folder?

Ask on the Parallels forums, as its their software you have questions about

Opening image file from Form 6i deployed on Application server

Hi
I am working on an applictaion where a form 6i is deployed on application server.The application reads an image file from hard disk.The form works fine when I run in form developer . But when I deploy on application server the form using get_file_name do not reads the image file.
Please help
Prashant

Hi!
In forms 10g we use webutil for that. I think forms 6i do not support that.
May search here in the forum for webutil for 6i.
Some guys had built a webutil.pll that s working on 6i.
Here is the thread: Converting to Webutil? 6i and 9i equivalents.

Can't open disk image file

I saved my iDVD project as a disk image onto my hard drive. All of the encoding took place as if I were burning it to a DVD disk. After the encoding was finished, two icons popped up on my desktop: One with a .img extension, and one with a hard drive type image with only the project name and no extension. When I try to open either one of them, my project does not come up. The .img file is totally empty. The other file, the one named "my project name", has an Audio_TS folder which is empty and a Video-TS folder that contains six files, all of which require a "choose application" to open. I tried iDVD as an application, but that didn't work. How do I get my iDVD project to open so that I can burn a DVD disk from it? Right now, the two icons on my desktop are useless.

The other file, the one named "my project name", has an Audio_TS folder which is empty and a Video-TS folder that contains six files, all of which require a "choose application" to open.
This is the mounted disk image file and can be played with Apple's DVD Player application. BTW, the AUDIO_TS folder Should be empty - it's not used in video DVDs.

How do I do a backup using a disk image file and SuperDuper?

The external drive won't mount on the desktop even though the power light shows up on the external drive case. I want to back up the files on the computer, Powerbook G4 Panther in a hurry as the computer keeps shutting down on me.
I opened up SuperDuper which I normally use for backups and there was a message that said it couldn't find the drive or something like that. Then there was a window to choose where I was copying from, and it came up with the hard drive name. Then another window came up with a disk image icon which is the place to copy to. I named it "Copyofharddrive", but I am not sure if this is right. I then pressed "Click" and then it told me it was going to erase the volume "Copyofharddrive" and asked if that was OK.
I am scared of doing the wrong thing and erasing my hard drive. I only have 12GB left on my hard drive too. I am trying to copy 100GB of data onto the disk image file. Will that work out?
I have never done this before. I don't understand disk image files. I just want to back up the data so that if the computer or the hard drive crashes I can then put the files on another computer.
Is a disk image a suitable way to do a backup and can I restore the hard drive exactly as it was on the hard drive on another hard drive using the disk image? Do I have enough space on the Powerbook to do the backup? Am I following the correct steps in doing the backup on Superduper? Why does it ask me if it's OK to erase the volume "Copyofharddrive" when I jsut created it?
Thanks for all your help.

If you only have 12 GBs of space on your hard drive then how will you fit 100 GBs of data into a disc image file on that hard drive?
If your external drive is not functioning then you cannot do any kind of backup to it. And, you cannot backup your hard drive to your hard drive.
What you need is another external hard drive with at least 100 GBs or more of free space that you could use for a backup. However, if you have the unpaid version of SuperDuper, then SD will erase the backup drive before making a full clone of your internal drive.

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,

How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
So Help me..
My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened? It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive. On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled. CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
Good luck!

How to Copy an Image File from a Folder to another Folder

i face the problem of copying an image file from a folder to another folder by coding. i not really know which method to use so i need some reference about it. hope to get reply soon, thx :)

Try this code. Make an object of this class and call
copyTo method.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FileUtil
extends File {
public FileUtil(String pathname) throws
NullPointerException {
super(pathname);
public void copyTo(File dest) throws Exception {
File parent = dest.getParentFile();
parent.mkdirs();
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(this); //
Open the source file
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest); //
Open the destination file
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096]; // Create an input
buffer
int bytes_read;
while ( (bytes_read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) { //
Keep reading until the end
out.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
in.close(); // Close the file
out.close(); // Close the file
This is poor object-oriented design. Use derivation only when you have to override methods -- this is just
a static utility method hiding here.

"Always Open In..." View Options for Root Level of a Disk Image File

I ran into a problem/bug tonight that I can't find listed anywhere and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it. I am using Snow Leopard (now 10.6.1), upgraded from the last revision of Leopard.
I create DVD-R sized disk images with Disk Utility (using "Mac OS Extended" only w/o Journaling) for saving downloaded files. Because of the number of files on this disk, I create single-letter folders (for alphabetical filing) and set up these disk images to "Always Open In List View". For the individual folders, I can set these to "Always Open In List View" without a problem. However, for the "root level" of these disk images, I can only access "Always Open In Icon View" no matter which view option is selected.
For previously created disk images that were already set to "Always Open In List View", these show the previously set "List View" at the disk image "root level" as expected. But if I uncheck the box, it immediately goes to "Always Open In Icon View". And like before, no matter which view option is selected, I can never get back to "Always Open In List View". Note also that I can set this option as expected for "root levels" of real disks - this only seems to be a problem with the disk image files.
I had no problems at all with this under Tiger or Leopard. I've only run into this now under Snow Leopard. The upgrade tonight to 10.6.1 hasn't seem to affect this problem.
So should I be doing something differently now to get this option to reappear, a possible conflict with something on my computer or is this a bug with Snow Leopard? Can anyone else duplicate this issue?

Additional info, in case anyone is running into this issue...
If I do the following with the "root level" of the disk image, I can set the "Always Open in List View" option.
1. Open the "root level" view of the disk image - for me, it always opens in icon view. Then, select "Show View Options" from the View menu.
2. Check the "Always Open in Icon View" box. While leaving this dialog open, select "as List" from the View menu.
3. Uncheck the "Always Open in Icon View" box. It will instantly turn into "Always Open In List View". Recheck this box immediately, then close dialog. This will make the setting stick.
I've been able to repeat this situation several times. I might be wrong, but it sure acts like a small bug to me. Hope this helps anyone else who might have encountered this issue.

Importing Akai disk image file

I've just switched from Cubase SX4 to Logic Pro 8. Unfortunately I'm unable to use my library of Akai disk image files stored on my hard drives. Isn't EXS24 able to load from image files, like Halion does?
I went through the whole process of storing the CDs on my hard drive, because Halion lets you load directly from image files, making this method far better than using the actual CDs...
Help would be appreciated.

Go into Project/Project Info... and see if single-layer is selected in the pop-up. If it is, it should create a disk image to fit on a single-layer DVD-R.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility. You can set burn speed in iDVD '08 if not creating a disc image.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his iDVD 6 book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
I buy Verbatim white inkjet printable in stacks of 50. Verbatim's part number: 94971. They have been flawless for me.
*Burning speed*: Go into the menu > iDVD/Preferences/Advanced. Look at the bottom of that window.

Cannot unzip the image file from Sun

I have downloaded the first compressed install CD image file from Sun. But it cannot be unzip. I used almost all of the unzip software(such as Winzip, WinRAR, PKUNZIP for DOS and for Windows).
Anybody can help me?

OK! I downloaded for the 5th time without using GetRight and I can now unzip the file in question. For some reason GetRight chokes on this zip file only. All of the other images were downloaded using GetRight and they unzipped just fine. Go figure...
My reccomendation to anyone else using a download tool like GetRight and having the same problem is to disabled the tool temporarily and just do a normal download through your browser.
Hope someone finds this useful.
Bob C.
Make that another ditto!!! I have downloaded the
first CD image for x86 Solaris 4 times now. Each time
the download has succeeded without error, but I can
not open the zip file. I have been using GetRight 4.3
to do the download rather than straight FTP or HTTP so
maybe this is the issue, but I have never had a
problem using this tool before.
Help anyone!?!?!?!
