DMG Files not opening on my G3/366 clamshell (running 0S X 10.4.11)

I have one final issue with my G3/366 clamshell (running 0S X 10.4.11), cant seem to add software. Download a dmg file, extracts to desktop but cant open extracted file. I've done a Disk repair on start up but that didnt help, anyone got any suggestions? Everything else appears fine.

True but I think that the disk image mounter is not working so I'm not getting the option to drag anything anywhere. How do I repair the disk image mounter?
Just tried after reading on a www forum;
Run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Click on "Macintosh HD� in the left column and then press the "Repair Disk Permissions� button. I don't think this step was part of the solution to my problem.
Delete the file called /System/Library/Extension.kextcache
Delete the folder called /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
Restart
But the deleted files just re apear after start up and the issue continues.
There is no issue with the hard drive, also just booted to Disk Utility again and done a volume repair, no problems there. Grrrrrrrrrrr

  • DMG files not opening correctly in 10.8.2

    I was downloading second life on my ir running 10.8.2, and after the dmg downloaded, and i clicked it, instead of the usual drag to app folder Finder window, I got a strange one with four folders in it and a shaded arrow, and nothing really to drag. Repeated this after reboots and two different dmg files (I have not tried anything other than second life. But read on.
    I found a thread here where someone had a similar problem with other downloads. in their case, the finder window opened briefly and then closed, i believe. anyway they finally created a new admin user and downloaded and installed using that and it worked.
    I tried that, and it also worked. Created new user, downloaded same files, clicked, and they came up with the usual drag to applications window.
    Somehow ML has gotten confused on my main account. Ideas for what to do to clean it up? or should I just wait for 10.8.whatever?
    Thanks!

    You might give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

  • Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe  Reader

    Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
    The problem which i am facing is:-
    In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
    This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
    On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
    PDF will never show up in case of reader.
    I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
    I really need uregent help on this.
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Quick Time file not opening

    Suddenly QuickTime 7.5.5 stopped opening the movies stored in one Hard Disc.
    Here are descriptions of how problem occurs:
    1) The preview in finder +column view+ shows only blank space, but not a movie.
    2) Instead of opening the file QT claims that "This is not a movie file"
    3) Not all the movies in the disk are injured but about 80 % of them. There might be in same folder movies that behaves normally and movies that behaves as described above.
    I have restarted the machine few times and repaired the disk with disk utility, with not any couraging results...
    If there were any ideas what the problem might be, and how to fix it, advices would be very much appreciated.
    Screenshots of the problem:
    http://koti.welho.com/tsuonio1/File-not-open.jpg

    Two possibilities spring to mind. One is that the HD itself has been damaged somehow. Try copying one of the "bad" video files to your boot drive and opening from there. If it won't copy, your HD is clearly bad, if it copies and plays then something weirder is going on with the drive.
    The other possibility has to do with the h264 codec you used. Apple's implementation of the H264 standard is a work in progress, they've been gradually adding features that are part of the full standard and may have broken something. If you recently upgraded QT that may be the problem. If you created the files using a third party H264 codec that might explain the playback problems. Also, you should install Perian (www.perian.org) and see if that helps, their codec plays back many formats that Apple doesn't support out of the box.
    You may need to upload one of the bad files to an filesharing website of some kind so that other folks here can download and look at it themselves.

  • .indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

    The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
    "this file is not a valid win32 application"
    Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
    If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

    Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
    I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
    The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
    Tools > Folder Options > File Types
    If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
    You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
    Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
    In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
    Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
    There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

  • Dmg suddenly not opening?

    I created a 'dmg'-file called "Documents CCB". Here I store various files of paramount importance, and, yes, I do back it up - generally once a week.
    I can mount the image, but when I try to access it, I get the following message:
    The folder “Documents CCB” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
    I have tried running permissions repair, it found an extraordinary amount of items needing fixing. But, alas, to no avail. I still cannot access the mounted image.
    Looking at the info for the dmg-file itself, it states that I have read&write privileges.
    When I do a get info the mounted image, I have "custom" privileges - whatever that means.
    Also, for the mounted image the box "Ignore ownership on this volume" is clicked.
    Help, please!

    I can now close this topic.
    Logging in as root, which I'm not sure is strictly necessary, I ran these two commands in Terminal:
    sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
    sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
    That solved my problems, all now working normally.

  • .dmg files not recognised!

    I've a lot of program dmg files on a CD as a backup, and since giving my MBP a clean fresh install of Leopard, these dmg files are no longer recognised. Meaning that when I click on them OSX doesn't know what to do with them! It doesn't recognise any dmg files I download from the internet either. I've tried countless restarts but certainly do not want to install Leopard again! Any advice?

    +"...Since migrating to my new MBP and Leopard (now 10.5.1), I’ve had to keep reassociating DMG files with DiskImageMounter.app – the setting just doesn’t seem to stick..."+
    same here! this is now my fourth installation of leopard; twice with 10,5 and once with 10,5,1 i've installed it, only to 'upgrade' back to tiger after suffering this and a myriad of other teethgrindingly annoying niggles.
    when 10,5,2 came out i thought +'surely they've fixed it by now'+ - only to find this infuriating behaviour still exists. no matter how many times i tell leopard to always open all 'dmg' files with +disc image mounter+, the next time i download one, it either opens in +disc utility+ - if i'm lucky! - or the finder complains it disnae know what a 'dmg' file is - if i'm unlucky!
    you've really got to admire the quality control of a company which releases an OS which - two point upgrades in - still cannae recognise its own in-house file formats.
    oh well, a few more days of this and i then i'll pluck up the energy to 'upgrade' back to leopard again!
