DMG files and Windows XP

I have an ipod touch and have installed the software. I notice I have some *.dmg files in a folder called C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Temporary Files\*.dmg.
Do I need to keep these or can they be deleted?
Thanks.

Maybe this will shed some light:

I don't know how you'd have some on Windows.

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.

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
Notes
If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems.

I have a new macbook and downloaded the firefox browser but i can't open the .dmg file. Window pops up saying not recognized.

Setting up my new macbook pro and I went to install the firefox download currently available on the mozilla site and I double-click the firefox .dmg download file and a window pops up and says "The following disk images cannot be opened. Firefox20-1.0.dmg. Reason: not recognized.
Nothing else comes up as an option.
What should I do?
Thanks

.dmg files and Finder windows : preset window size

Sorry for this misplaced question, but I want to create a .dmg disk image similar to those that developers employ to deliver their applications. I know how to embed a custom window background image, but I don't know how to make the window open to a specific size when the .dmg file is opened.

MacKeeper is an exception to the rule that system modifications should be uninstalled according to the developer's instructions. Although not generally recognized as such, MacKeeper is in fact a trojan, because the developer distributes an uninstaller that purports to delete it, but leaves behind something that causes popup ads to appear in the user’s web browser. Try following the instructions here:

I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of those instructions, but others seem to have had success with them.

Dmg file and finder issue

Hi,
Since I have upgraded my Macbook pro to Yosemite I have experienced several issues each time I have install/upgrade an application (.app file) from an dmg file.
Example with calibre application from http://calibre-ebook.com/download_osx
or google chrome.
I have downloaded the latest version, then open the dmg image by double clicking on it (Because I have unchecked the default option "Open safe file after downloading" in Safari), but impossible to drag and drop the new app file in the Application folder. No error message is displayed.
If I try to unmount the dmg file, then I get an error message.
The only workaround I have found is to perform a Force/Relaunch of the Finder. Then everything is working fine!
Any idea how to avoid this issue or is it just a bug?

Double-clicking on a disk image (.dmg file) mounts the image (treats it like inserting a disk) and puts a disk icon on your desktop. Once this is done, you may treat that icon in most every respect as a disk (it's common to make read-only images, so you might not be able to write/copy files to it).
In the case of installing an application, there are two basic procedures on a Mac:
1.) Double-click on a package icon (looks like a stylized cardboard box) and a wizard will guide you through the process much like Windows users experience.
2.) Find an icon for an application, and drag it to /Applications (click on the icon for it and hold the button down while you move it). If you don't have the Applications folder open, you can simply drag the icon onto the Macintosh HD icon and hold it there for a couple of seconds, then window will open and you'll see the Applications folder where you can drop the file (onto the Applications folder icon).
To eject the disk image, simply click on the icon for the mounted image, and press command-E (E for 'eject'), right-click or control-click on the icon and select 'Eject' from the pop-up menu, or drag the icon into the trashcan on the dock.
After you've unmounted the disk image, you can do whatever you like with the disk image file.

Firefox won't save DMG files and won't mount the disk image. Why?

When I try to install a download I am asked to either save the DMG file or Open using .... I select save, but the disk image never appears on my desktop and nothing shows in the Tools-Downloads window.

See if this helps you: <br />

Burning .dmg file from Windows computer

If I create an iDVD project and save it as a .dmg file (instead of burning it right away), can that file then be burned to a DVD from ANY computer--Windows or Mac?
I'll be away from my external DVD burner (only have the combo drive in my PB) and want to be able to use a Windows computer at work to burn the final DVD.
Is this possible? If so, will it still burn a regular playable video DVD?

Doesn't sound like image files are universal (take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.img). But, why not give it a try? You'll need some method to transport that large file that's also cross-platform (perhaps create a tiny trial project).

Using 'dmg' files for windows

Hi,
I downloaded a add-on for iTunes, but it was in the form of a .dmg file. Could somebody please tell me how to use this file/unpack/ convert it to a useful form!
Thanks for any help.

I just have a slight problem with controlling iTunes without switching apps/windows back to iTunes. I have a Logitech keyboard with media keys, but after installing 7.2 (and 7.3) the meda keys don't work with iTunes anymore. I thought the Sizzling keys download would solve the problem by assigning the functions to the media keys, but I can't even use the file!
Could you suggest an alternative solution for controlling iTunes?

Downloading dmg file and Mounting Failed ??

hi,
i might have messed up with the files on my ibook.
i somehow deleted previous users account and created mine As Admin. ..... however deleted user account is in deleted user folder as dmg file.
now when i log in my account as admin and download something > then Disk copier helper opens > then installation >> and finally Message comes .. Mounting Failed ( error 95 ).
this happened when i tried to download and install dmg file from internt
it also says that there is no file folder to handle this file
How can i fix mounting problem on my User Account as Admin.
thanks

I'm on the same boat. I called Apple Support. They made me clean cache, create a new user, yada yada yada. Nothing helped. Last resort was to re-install OSX Snow 10.6.2
I did so, doing an ERASE then moving files/programs back from Time Machine. Right after OS was just installed, I was able to download anything. After I did an upgrade to the latest combo patch to 10.6.2 I was back in "no download land"
I have Google Chrome (no dice), FireFox (no dice)....
Help! I don't want to have to re-install everything again!

.dmg files and adobe

Hi,
I have tried downloading a trial version of Adobe Photoshop from their website and it says that it's unable to open the .dmg file. I have already tried to make it open with the diskimagemounter and that doesn't work. Anything?
Thanks

Try downloading it again. It also could be a corrupted file on their end.

CHM files and Windows Server 2008

RH 7, HTML
Support person has a customer trying to view .chm files in Windows Server 2008. They went ahead and tried the "normal" registry fix to view chm files over a network, but that didn't not fix the issue.
My understanding is that chm files can't be viewed in Windows Server at all, but thought I'd verify - is there any way to view chm files in Windows Server 2008?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Jeff,
I don't think that anything has changed in Windows 2008, and .chm files are certainly viewable in this version of Windows. However, it may be that the customer needs to tinker with the security settings in Internet Explorer to make remote .chm files viewable. See this article for details:
http://weblog.helpware.net/?p=50
To ensure that the correct registry changes are being made, the customer could try making them with the free HHReg utility. It's available from here:
