.dmg file wil not open.

Last night I spent 8 hours downloading a game for my MacBook pro, which is running the latest version of Mavericks. I have the .dmg file on my desktop,  but when I double click it nothing happens. I've been trying online for an hour to find a solution, but nothing's worked! The file is 4.4 gigs, but I've opened .dmg files much bigger than that, before.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

That usually means you don't have a complete download or the file is corrupt.

  • Pdf files wil not open under Windows Live Mail

    PDF Files will not open in WIndows Live Mail. I deinstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled a more recent version but to no avail. It will open very well using WIndows explorer or when opening the reader. Any clues someone?

    WLM is version 2009 14.0.8117.0416. I'm running under Vista and all other more recent versions are not compatible. The file association has been made and I can open all pdf files in Windows explorer. Under Outlook mail it works as well. It worked until recently when I loaded a program that was supposed to convert pdf files to Word but that did not work so I had to deinstall it and redo the file association. It worked everywher except in WLM.

  • DMG files will not open.  Possibly corrupt installer app?

    I just tried to uninstall Safari 3 Beta and return to the previous version of Safari 2.0. The uninstallation stopped prematurely and told me to try the uninstallation again. I tried, but the dmg file would not load. I rebooted my machine, and it still will not work. Not only will the safari uninstall dmg not work, no other dmg will work either. It seems as though my "installer" app is corrupt or something. I tried downloading other apps that require the installer program, but none of them will install.

    Hi
    Try this navigate to the following location System/Library/Cache/com.apple.kernalcaches inside the com.apple.kernalcaches Delete all files inside (do not empty the trash at this time)
    Next navigate back to System/Library and in the Library you will find Extensions.kextcache file delete this file (do not empty the trash yet)
    Now reboot your mac and test to see if the installer works if the installer works you can empty the trash as your mac on the reboot generated a new kernal cache ( if this solved the problem it was a corrupt kernal cache )
    I had this situation not to long ago and the above solved the problem
    Btw To delete the kernel cache files you will need the admin. password and be very carefull to delete the above files only if the above procedure did not work you can take the deleted cache files out of the trash and put it back where you got them ( replace the new cache files with the cache files you had in the trash )
    Hope This Helps

  • Dmg file will not open

    I just purchased a macbook air yesterday so I am new to the MAC. This may be something simple. I am trying to load some adobe programs but when I click on the dmg file nothing happens. The other apps I have installed pop up and say drag to app folder or uncompress to where I can run the install and there has been no issue up until now. I click and litteraly nothing happens so I am not sure what is going on. I also tried disk utility app and ran the disk verify. Everything checked out fine:
    Verifying volume “Adobe Illustrator CS5.5”
    Checking file systemChecking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 appears to be OK.
    I then ran repair disk to see if that would help but I get the same result when I try to run the dmg file:
    Verify and Repair volume “Adobe Illustrator CS5.5”
    Checking file systemChecking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 appears to be OK.
    Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.

    After double clicking the .dmg file, if you don't get a finder window opening up, look for the disk drive icon on your desktop - like the one below and double click on it to get to the install files.

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • .dmg files will not mount

    i just bought a new intel imac. i've been having trouble with dmg files: when i open them wa warging comes up that says that the disk image failed to mount and the reason it gives is either codec overrun or not recognized. Every once in a while a file will work properly, but the vast majority of the time there is an error. The files that im trying to install are mostly updates; quicktime and an os x update. i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it.
    thanks

    Hi
    I'm not sure what the answer to your problem is, but having also just purchased a new intel imac, I use software update. I know there is also the comboupdate (not that I really understand what that's all about!) but have to admit to having no problems using the Software Update option with my imac. No dmg's need mounting and (touch wood) everything has installed like a dream - so far!
    BTW what's "wa warging" (shown in your message)?

  • PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

    PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

    Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
    Adobe Reader version 11.0.04  is now working for me.
    Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

    Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
    usually run
    EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
    don't have
    Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
    Freehand will
    sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
    involve a lot
    more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

  • I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

    I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
    My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

    DNG Converter is FREE.  Yes, really.  No subscription needed.
    - Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
    Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    - Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
    Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
    See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
    http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
    - Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
    Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
    - Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
    If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
    "Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
    - I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me. 

  • .mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

    I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
    " The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
    When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions?  Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
    Help!!
    Thank you!

    Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
    That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
    It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
    In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what  you need to read it.
    You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.
