Disk Utility error - can't create disk image

Hi all...I'm trying to back up my Mac OS X install dvd (10.5.2) via DU and creating a disk image to burn on my MacBook Pro. I've done this before, such as for the Panther disc that came with my G4. I attempted it three different times and I keep getting the following error:
'Unable to create "Mac OS X Install Disc 1." (input/output error)'
Furthermore, it keeps referring to it as the actual dvd's name, and not the one I renamed it as (don't know if this is important to mention or not, but just in case.)
So I took the job to my G4 and no problem, the disk image was created, and it's ready to burn.
So my question is, does anyone know what the problem might be in regards to DU not being able to create the disk image on my MacBook and cause this error? Because my G4 was able to do it, I know it's not the DVD giving me problems.
(Yes, I repaired permissions.)
Any help would be much appreciated!

It may be the the disc after all...
I'm still having the same problem, but I also discovered that I cannot get the install disc to get past the "spinning gear" stage when trying to start up with it, so yes, it's most definitely useless! My MacBook is still under warranty so I phoned Apple, and explained the problem and everything I did to ensure it wasn't hardware related. So they're sending me new install discs. I'm not 100% convinced yet that the problem is the install disc, but we'll see...my only doubt remains from the fact that I was able to make a disc image of it on my G4. That said...
I did a hardware test (long version, and everything is reportedly fine), played dvd movies, burned cd's, installed software from discs, etc, and it seems the drive is working fine, however, it could possibly be sensitive to even the slightest smudge or scratch (the install disc has a few very slight marks on it that shouldn't be a problem, and I cleaned it thoroughly). The only other time I had a problem was when I went to rip a song from a cd to iTunes where it hung and and then failed to complete the task. (The cd itself played without issue though.) I checked it for dirt/scratches: it had a couple of barely imperceptible smudges and one shallow scratch. I cleaned it, tried it again and iTunes was able to import from it after that. This remains the only time (so far) I've had a problem with a disc besides my install disc.
I want to be able to repair disk before I install 10.5.3, and back up everything, including the install discs. My Macbook came with 10.5.2 and except for this problem, everything's been working fine.
When I get my new install discs, I'll post how that went. They should arrive within a week or so.
DrHouseTF: I checked out your thread. I've never tried to make copies of game disks via DU, but maybe it's due to copy protection measures on the disc itself?

Publish Error: Can't create the file "shapeimage_2_link_0.png

SOS!!
very urgent and important..I am becoming mad! First of all good night from Italy.. I use Iweb 1.1.2..and after 2 yrs I am working on this site http://web.mac.com/cat_toons/iWeb/feline-care/Welcome.html I need to release for a donation project, when publishing at almost the end I get this pop-up window:
Publish Error: Can’t create the file “shapeimage2_link0.png.” The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
Now, i cancelled and re-installed I web + all updates, but nothing happened, I am stuck! I do not know which is the file missing or giving error
Any news? what shall I do?

well, after a few tries I checked the point were it stoped uploading and I create a new page from scratch copying all images from scratch and it worked.
Idt does not work if you duplicate a page, you have to create a new one..possibly differentI.E. instead of MOVIE I chose the blog one.

Keep getting an error can't create font then it quits

When booting after effects CS 5 I get an error can't create font, then an error that says AE can't complete start up.

I bought a new 27" imac, which doesnt come with a superdrive, so I had made image files from the disks and when installing I stalled when installing fonts. but when I forced quit the image files everything ran fine, and I didn't think anything about it until I went to boot AE CS 5 last night. When It didn't open and gave me an error message of can not create font, I uninstalled the app and re-installed via the original disks (just bought the external superdrive) and I am still getting the message. I installed mic office 2011 2 days ago and I did wonder if it is a font error from that, but everything else is booting from the master collection, premier, flash catalyst, illust, indesign, and photoshop etc. I have been running the main three for the last 3 weeks on the machine with no issues. I am running Mavericks 0S 10.9.5.

What's the fix for this error: Can't create the file "feed.xml."

I try to publish my site from iWeb but I get an error which is below.
Publish Error
Can’t create the file “feed.xml.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
Anyone know the fix?

Whether 'feed.xml' is the first file it is trying to upload, indicating a general failure to connect, or whether it's choked at that particular point would be the question. It would be worth your getting an FTP program if you don't already have one - Cyberduck is free - and checking whether any files at all have been uploaded.
Is this the first time you've tried to publish or are you updating an existing site? If it's the first you should check carefully that your settings are correct, in particular the 'path' which varies between different hosts and may be blank or may be something like 'public.html' or 'htdocs' - this would lead to the actual webspace which may not be the root level as you access the FTP server.
You could also try publishing to a local folder - create a special folder somewhere and specify it when setting iWeb to do this, check the contents are OK, then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) using Cyberduck.

42001 Presenter Publish Error Can't create uploader unknown error

42001 Presenter Publish Error Can't create uploader unknown
error
Well I guess that about says it all. I cannot publish ANY of
my Presenter files to Connect Pro... Do I need to do a Presenter
reinstall?

I know this is from 2010 but I just started with a company that uses this software and we are receiving this same error. I tried doing the regsvr32 ppsuplo.dll but came back with the following result " The module "ppsuplo.dll " failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found. I then looked in the program files folder for presenter and found the file right there. Then tried using the repair option without any luck. Anyone have an idea of what else we can do?

Disk Utility Error - Unable to Create....

Hey everybody,
I've been having a **** of a time creating disk images...
When trying to create a disk image on the Mac HD I get the error...
"Unable to create {disk name here}, Resource Busy"... tried everything, closing down everyhting, rebooting ect. Still get same error.
When I try to create on another external HD I get the error...
"invalid argument".
Anyone figure this one out and how to fix?
Thank you

Hello,
I think this might have something to do with Onyx messing with Idisk utility settings.
the utility does not allow me to specify a disk image size, so it's trying to turn the entire hard drive into a disk image.
I had to re-install the operating system and it fixed it.
However, when I installed and ran Onyx the same problem has showed up.
In onyx I reverted the parameters back to default, but it didn't fix it. I still cannot specify the disk image size.
I don't want to have to re-install the operating system again. Does anyone know a fix? Is it possible to just install the idisk utility and not the operating system?
thanks

Here is the full message.

I had this the other day too and I was able to get around it by changing two of the pictures; however, I took all of the pictures with my own phone and some of these are logos that are small. How do I fix this error message.
I appreciate the help!

Joshua ~ Welcome to the discussions. If simply re-starting iWeb doesn't help, this may:
"Go to Finder -> HomeFolder -> Library
Move entire folder "Caches" to desktop
Restart iWeb and publish
It may work now
You can now delete "Caches" folder in desktop."
More suggestions may be found by doing THIS.

How can I create system image of Win-7 only on drive with Win-7 (NTFS) and Win-ME (FAT-32) system partitions

I am trying to create a Windows 7 Image Backup on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit PC.
I have two bootable partitions on my hard drive. One is NTFS and contains the Win-7 system files.
The other is FAT-32 and contains a Windows-ME system.
When it comes to selecting the drives (partitions) for backing up, both are marked as System, and both are selected. Both are also "greyed out) - I cannot uncheck them.
Furthermore, the Windows-7 imaging utility supplied with Windows-7 returns an error saying it cannot image the disk because it contains a partition that is not NTFS.
How can I select and image ONLY the NTFS partition that contains the Win-7 system? That is what I want to do.

Any of the products listed below will backup the contents (all partitions) of your disk drive. The only limitation is that you must install the backup software in Windows 7. You will perform a "Disk and Partition" backup by manually selecting
the disk and all partitions (NTFS / FAT32) and the Master boot Record (MBR) on the drive. The destination / where the Image Backup will be stored should be an external USB drive. With a "Disk and Partition" backup you can restore any partition
to your existing drive or the entire backup (to the same disk drive or a new drive).

Can iDVD create disc images from VIDEO_TS folder, and burn them?

That first question is pretty self-explanatory.
Background is this: I've downloaded some video folders/files from forum/torrent trading websites. When finished, I have a VIDEO_TS folder, often an EXTRAS_TS folder as well. A while back, I downloaded the app DVD IMAGER to create a disc image. Yesterday that stopped working effectively, so maybe I need to re-download, but I was wondering if there's just a better way? I also downloaded the app called BURN, but can't see yet how that creates disc images.
Once I create that disc image, I need to burn it, and I was using Disk Utility for that. I'm really looking for some help and advice on the best way to perform these processes.
Thank you, and let me know if I need to post in another forum.

Additionally, do you have experience w/ DVD Imager?
Nope. Like I said, Roxio's Toast Titanium is the top application (and is probably the one that most experienced people use).

Can't create CD Image

Hi,
I'm having trouble creating a CD Image in Disk Utility. I insert the CD and then open Disk Utility. I then highlight the CD drive and click on New in the menu. The problem is that the "Disc Image from Device" option is greyed out. Does someone know why this option can't be selected?
Thanks,
James
Ibook G4 1.2GHz, 768MB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi James,
You will want to select the contents of the CD, and not the CD itself.
There should be a sort of file "tree" shown in Disk Utility.
Disk - Session - Files (or similar)
Try selecting Session or Files and I believe the option to create an image from device will be open to you.
Good luck.

Iweb - Publish error - can't create the file "..."

Hey guys,
I've seen this issue in a couple of discussions but nothing helps. When I try to publish my site I'm getting the following error note:
"Publish error. Can't create the file "...png". The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
Same result whether I publish to an ftp or to a local folder.
My disk is far from full and the site is merely a few megas heavy.
The content is just text and a few photos.
I have OS version 10.6.8 and Iweb 3.0.4.
No passwords involved.
I've tried all the tricks in the book:
Duplicating the page that won't publish.
Re-creating the page that won't publish.
Deleting com.apple.iweb.plist from home/library/preferences
Moving my site domain to another location, creating a new site and then putting the old one back
Deleting cache from libray/caches/com.apple.iweb
I re-installed Ilife
Reboots
Banging head repeatedly again wall
Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Pleymo

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
