.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)?

  • Downloaded new Parrallels, dmg file will not mount?

    I am trying to upgrade my parrallels, since they came out with a newer version. I have the dmg file but it will not mount, it says "not recognized"
    Do I have to remove the older version first?
    anyone know what is wrong?
    Also, what kind of a fire wire do you need to connect two Macs together so that you can migrate the software over?
    Do you need a fire wire with the same ends?

    The original DMG posted on the Parallels site would not mount. If you download it now it will work ok.
    As far as firewire you use a firewire 400 or 800 depending on your old machine. It is probably best that you use one with the same ends. Less of a chance of data failure.

  • 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 backup file will not mount.  Failure not an option.

    Let me begin by saying that my lovely wife is, for good reason, currently not very happy with me. Allow me to explain...
    I recently decided that it was time to upgrade her iBook G4 from Tiger (10.4.xx, not sure what it was exactly) to Leopard. Her system easily meets the requirements and she would benefit greatly from being able to use Time Machine as a backup solution.
    I figured that the first step should be making sure that her existing data was properly backed up and could be selectively restored after the installation of Leopard was complete. I could have performed an Archive Installation of Leopard, but she had data files and folders all over the drive and I felt that a clean installation would be best. So anyway, I booted the system with the Leopard install disc and used Disk Utility to create a .dmg backup of the one and only partition on her hard drive. I used all of the default settings for the creation of this .dmg and saved it to my external USB hard drive which is formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume. Disk Utility gave me no errors at all and the image creation seemed to complete successfully.
    With that first step complete, I shut the system down and disconnected the external drive (just to be safe ya know). I, once again, booted the system with the Leopard install disc and "Erase"d the hard drive, created a new Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition and proceeded with the Leopard installation. Once the installation completed, I ran Software Updates until no more updates were available and I was all the way up to 10.5.5. So far, so good.
    With Leopard now installed and fully updated, I connected my external hard drive to the system, transferred my .dmg file to the desktop and attempted to mount the volume so that I could begin copying my wife's data to her Home folder. However, when I double-clicked the .dmg I received an error stating that the image failed to mount and gave a reason of "no mountable file systems".
    Now before I go any further, I want to stress that my wife's entire digital life is contained in this disk image. She owns her own business and all of the critical data associated with her business is in there. Financial data, several years of tax information, business contacts, many months worth of email... everything. So needless to say, when I saw that error from DiskImageMounter pop up, I immediately felt a little sick to my stomach. Before anybody asks, I have no idea why I didn't test the image file before erasing the hard drive. I should've, I know that, I don't want to talk about it.
    I spent the next 4 - 5 hours desperately trying anything I could think of to get access to the data within this .dmg file. I made a copy of it right away so that I wouldn't inadvertently make the situation even worse. I then tried to use Disk Utility to Restore the image, but received an error stating that the image contained an "Unrecognized Filesystem". I get the same error when I try to either verify or repair the volume with Disk Utility. I tried to attach the image using hdiutil in Terminal but got the same "no mountable file systems" error that I got from DiskImageMounter. I have tried to mount the image with Toast and Mount Me! as well with the same results.
    Here's the hdiutil imageinfo that I get from the dmg:

    I'd be happy to provide any other information that anyone thinks might be useful. I'd also be willing to bring the image file to a professional data recovery center and would welcome any recommendations that you might have. As I state in the subject of this post, failure is not really an option and I owe it to my wife to do everything humanly possible to try and arrive at a favorable resolution to this situation.
    The thing that's really prevented me from getting a proper nights sleep for the last two nights is the irony in blowing up her data while trying to get her set up with a decent data backup solution.
    Thank you to anyone who is able to help.

    Whatever you do do not throw out the disk image. Most likely this is a permissions/user account error involving how the disk image was made.
    Try mounting it manually using the Terminal by typing the following into the application:
              hdiutil attach
    Ensure there's a space after "attach" and then drag the disk image to the terminal window, which should complete the full path to the disk image. Then ensure there's a space after the disk image path and type "-mount" so the whole command looks something like this:
              hdiutil attach /path/to/file.dmg -mount
    Then press enter and hope it attaches. If an error occurs, try the command again with "sudo" in front of it as such:
              sudo hdiutil attach /path/to/file.dmg -mount
    Enter your password when prompted and hope that works.

  • 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.

  • Dmg files are not executable - need to reinstall Lion( but will mount)

    iMac 27, 2.8 Quad Core, 16 GB RAM, 3 TB HD running 10.7.3
    Hi,
    lead in > Lately I am having trouble with Aperture 3.2.3 who doesn't let me make some image adjustments "out of the blue". To correct this I usially have to reinstall Aperture from scratch. Trying to do so made me find out that I can't execute the Aperture trial 3.1 dmg file or any other dmg file on my iMac. When i double klick on a dmg file it will flash once and then just sit there doing nothing. The dmg "Get Info" window shows that the file is associated with the DiskImageMounter.app as supposed to. I have no glue why it won't execute these files and open the installer. I have tried everything from executing with disk image to repair permissions etc, etc. and I have read all forums and threats I could find but to no avail.
    The only way to fix this is reinstalling OSX 10.7.3. After reinstalling Lion everything is just fine  - for a while. I am able to reinstall aperture with the trial version dmg file. All other dmg files will also execute. For now I was able to work with my reinstalled system for the last seven days with no glitches, but last night same problem occured as described earlier. I have also checked my harddrive with disk utility and onyx. Both apps say HD is just fine. I wonder how long I will be able to work this time before desaster strikes me again. I should probably mention that the non executable dmg file problem only kicks in after I experience the Aperture problems I mentioned.
    Should I reformat my HD and reinstall all my content and OS from a clone Super Duper copy that I have? I appreciate any comments/suggestioms you guys might come up with. Thanks.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Disk Utility crashes and dmg files won't mount

    My girlfriend's Powerbook has been acting up for a while now, and we still can't seem to get it working properly.
    One day, her Adobe programs just stopped working. Tried several things, but nothing worked and she ended up reinstalling OSX. That fixed the problem, but then she noticed she could no longer open DMG files. Accordingly, she tried to run Disk Utility but then found that it would always crash when trying to open.
    She ran Disk Utility from the install disc, but nothing turned up. She also tried looking up several methods of fixing the DMG problem (deleting various files), but nothing's worked.
    If I remember correctly, she also tried using the 10.3.9 combo updater some time ago, but that didn't help. We're actually not totally sure about that, so we're trying to reinstall the 10.3.9 combo updater, except for the fact that Apple has only made the file available as a DMG (which she obviously can't open).
    So can anyone please help us get Disk Utility to stop crashing, and get those DMG files to open/mount? I have the crash logs but they're huge, so I'm not so sure if I should post them. Thanks everyone!
    PS. I can open DMG files for her using MagicISO (I'm on a PC), but it's a bit of a pain transferring those larger files to her.

    What files did you try deleting? If you don't know what a file does or why you're messing around with it, you shouldn't; that's just asking for trouble.
    Let's assume for the moment that you have a corrupted preferences file. To find out, go to Users/Library/Preferences and locate the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file and drag it to the Desktop. Now relaunch Disk Utility and see if the problem continues. If not, then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, and then you can Trash the file on your Desktop.
    You should also use your OS X install disc to boot the system and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk, to see if there are any problems. If it reports any errors that it can fix, keep running it until no more are reported.
    If there's an error that it cannot fix, stop using your system immediately and make a backup of everything; then get a disk utility such as DiskWarrior to see if it can fix your drive. If your drive cannot be repaired, you will need to replace the internal drive and restore from your backup (if you have one).
    Hope this helps,

  • .dmg files won't mount

    Ever snce installing 10.4.6 (I think) .dmg files downloaded with Safari (or Firefox) will not mount. If I double click the .dmg on the desktop, it goes away, does nothing and after a long time comes back with a dialogue box (I have never seen before) saying "Warning The following disk images failed to mount Reason: Device not configured"
    Any ideas??!!

    Have you got another harddrive or second partition to
    which you can install OSX?
    Nope. That's why I'm so unhappy.
    Or try restarting and holding the cmd key ("apple"
    key) and the s together until the system boots up in
    UNIX - other keyboard short cuts here:
    I already did a safe reboot. No change. I also tried using my other account on the Mac - no difference.
    and run "f@*ed disk", well properly the "fsck"
    command from that UNIX
    prompt. See
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    for more advice
    I ran DiskUtility (both Repair Permissions and, from the install disk, Repair Disk), the disk is fine. The failure to mount, Device not configured issue remains.
    I also used MainMenu to do the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly scripts. I haven't started cleaning cache files yet, with the exception of com.apple.kernelcaches and Extensions.kextcache, as recommended in another post.
    I'm leaving the reinstall option until I have more time, and I'll just be mad at Apple for the poor update in the meantime.

  • My Ipod 4th Gen will not mount into Itunes

    Please anyone with technical knowledge HELP ME.
    The basic problem is that my 4th Generation Ipod will not mount into Itunes.
    Let me tell you what I have done so far this includes all the R's, I have also followed the advice of reinstalling itunes and Quicktime I have also tried backwards installing to version 6 (at present I have upgraded to version 7.0.2). The ipod is visible in Windows and I still am able to use it as disk as I have programs I am using off it.
    I have tried a fifth gen and also an Ipod mini and both mount onto my Itunes.
    I have tried to reinstall the Ipod software, however the previous ipod updates do not work and as the Ipod cannot be mounted I cannot use Itunes to update it as it is not visible.
    I have also run the Ipod Diagnostic in Itunes and everything seems fine (I have included the report if anyone can please understand it)and at the very bottom it states that the Ipod is truly Mounted. WELL ITS NOT
    I really am getting desperate now as this is the same on both my Desktop and Laptop and I am getting very close to throwing the whole thing out along with all the rest of my computer equipment.
    Thanks a lot

    If anyone is interested I managed to solve this problem by reformatting the ipod as a mac ipod, with the help of friends system. This does get rid of the music but as I had it backed up wasn't a problem. I then plugged the mac Ipod back into a windows pc and reformatted it as a windows ipod which updated the firmware correctly and have'nt had a problem since.

  • How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

    I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9.  It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
    I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all.  I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

    Ahh! The plot thickens!
    I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
    Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

  • Hard drive will not mount shows up in Disk Utility

    I have an external drive with a bootable OS X 10.6.8. I was in a transition between building up a SSD swapped drive. The SSD is installed in the CPU box but I have my old installation running from an external.
    I have several external hard drives. They are all Firewire. Some have USB 3.0 and or eSATA options but my MacMini only talks to Firewire and USB 2.0.
    I understand that you daisy chain Firewire drives and turn them on and off in sequence as they fall from the CPU box/case.
    Firewire is a power source. I run the external with the OS using an AC adapter but one Firewire drive is powered through Firewire.
    I have had as many as 4 external drives running along with the internal drive without a glitch while I was reorganizing files.
    Today I booted off the external drive. It was running fine. I turned on one Firewire drive (the one that runs on Firewire power). That drive stumbled. I recognized the sound when there is an interruption in power. This cause the external boot drive to stall. I had to force a reboot.
    Now the external boot drive will not boot up. It does not mount but Disk Utility sees it. The drive itself is bright and clear in Disk Utility but the partition (single) is faded out. I can run Verify and repair in DU. DU says it doesn't see anything to repair. It will not mount on its own or when I click the Mount button in DU. It does not produce an icon on the Desktop (because it is not mounting).
    I also have SpeedTools. But although it sees the drive I cannot do anything with it. None of its tools run more than a spli second before they fail.
    This drive has USB 3.0 and I see everything through USB that I see through Firewire. Connecting the other way did not get around the problem.
    Of course I will buy an AC adapter for every external drive and never run them using Firewire again but the horse is out of the barn.
    I have the original installation disks and could run the Archive and Install option but it would require physically swapping drives with the internal. I'd like to avoid it if possible. It is a MacMini and tedious.
    Any suggestions?

    I took the problematic hard drive and installed it in my Mac Mini so I could attempt a Safe Boot and then Archive and Install if necessary.
    Safe Mode didn't work. The drive produced the circle with a slash symbol.
    I reset the PRAM which was part of a list of steps to work through I found created by Apple Support.
    I was able to boot up to Verbose Mode and view the text of the boot process. I wrote it all down. I can answer questions about the content better than typing it all out exactly. It includes, "...journal magic is bad..." "...failed to open..." and ends with "...cannot mount root, errno = 19"
    I attempted Archive and Install however when it went to show what target drives were available it was a blank box and all buttons were grayed out.
    I rebooted and opened Disk Utility from the DVD. The drive appeared the same with the top main line bright and the partitioned volume faded. Still was unable to mount. I ran Verify and this time a red line of text appeared "Invalid content in Journal" and at the end I ran Repair. When running I could read line by line and at one point it showed "checking volume information" then the following line "Repairing volume" the following line "Rechecking volume" more line of checking then it ended with "The volume was repaired successfully."
    It still would not mount. I ran Verify again and again said "Invalid content in Journal" and this time it stopped midway saying "The volume was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."
    I clicked Repair and it ended with The vol. was repaired successfully."
    Still unable to mount I began repeating Repair over and over. Each time it found something to repair and ended with a success message. After several more Repairs I tried Verify and it stopped midway saying to Repair the disk.
    Question: Does running Repair multiple times continue to correct bits and pieces little by little or is this a generic message and we should treat it as a problem Disk Utility cannot pinpoint and is just beating its head against the wall?
    The step by step instructions I downloaded mentioned running Repair more than once but it did not say that running it 20 times would erode some problems and eventually lead to a fully repaired disk (if the problem was something DU could take care of in the first place). At this point I have run Repair about 20 times total with a series of 10 back to back skipping Verify. I keep seeing the lines about invalid content in a journal and that it repaired something successfully. Yet I still cannot mount the disk.

  • Disk Images will not mount and Disk Utility will not runru

    I am having some major problems with Disk Utility, Disk Images, and software update. First, Disk utility will not open or run. When I double-click the application icon, nothing happens, no message, nothing. I am running OSX 10.4.11. I have deleted diskutility prefs. I am able to run Disk Utility from the Startup DVD of Tiger. On first run, it verified and repaired permissions. I run verify and repair permissions several more times from Startup DVD and everything is fine. But Disk Utility on my startup HD will not work. Similary, NONE of my disk images will mount. No matter what Disk Image i try to mount, nothing will. And I cannot use Disk utility to mount them! So, no matter what I download, no images will mount. And thirdly, when I try to run software update, it will not work. I do get a message: it says, "Could not load Software Update." Finally, i tried to download Onyx to delete log files, etc.. but again, the disk image will not mount. I was able to install a dashboard widget called "maintidget" and was successful in running the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks. Can anyone help? Everything else works fine!!! All apps! Safari, Mail, iTunes, MS Office, everything works fine. Thanks for ANY help!

    Previously, I had run verify permissions, repair permissions multiple times(from startup DVD) - no probems found. Deleted disk utility prefs. Run the maintenance taskes (daily, weekly, monthly). Nothing worked. But, I forget to check the drive for problems. So I ran disk scan. It found "invalid node" and repair disk could not do it. So, do I erase and do a fresh install or get DiskWarrior? I am running Leopard so I do not have Time Machine but I have backed up my documents, iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, etc... Another thing I found out the hardway is to sync all your bookmarks, mail settings and messages, etc... with .mac if you have an account. Any more suggetions?

  • Bootcamp Partition Will Not Mount - Size Bootcamp Partition Will Not Mount - Also Size Discrepancies

    I have bootcamp installed on an internal hard drive in my Mac Pro running 10.8.5.  This HD had two partitions, one of which I had 200GB allocated for my Windows install.  I reached a point where I was at nearly 100% capacity on that drive and needed more room.  This is what I did:
    Used Disk Utility to shrink the Mac OS Extended partition.
    Erased free space on that partition.
    Booted back into Windows and used MiniTool to extend the bootcamp partition to unallocated space.
    MinoTool then performed a restart and finished it's job upon startup.
    I am still able to boot into Windows and Mac just fine and I did create a backup of each OS before starting.
    I have two issues now, however.  Parallels no long recognized that Bootcamp partition.  I decided to delete that VM and I had to uninstall Parallels completely anyways due to an upgrage isse to Parallels 9.  After upgrading, Creating a VM from my BC was not an option.  This is because the BC partition will not mount, it is greyed out in Disk Utitlity.
    I tried installing Tuxera NTFS and the disk still cannot be mounted. 
    The other issue is that Disk Utility does not show the Bootcamp partition with the correct size.  It still shows it with the original 200GB but does show that the Mac Partition was shrunk.  In Windows, however, either using MiniTool or Windows Disk Managment, it shows the correct sizes for the partitions.
    I'll attach a screenshot of DU.
    I would like to be able to mount the drive successfully so that I can use the partition once again for Parallels.
    This is the system.log display when attempting to mount the BOOTCAMP partition and when disabling Tuxera from the system preferences:

  • Hard drive will not mount with 10.4 but will mount with 10.3

    I have a G4 powerbook running on 10.4.11. There is a western digital my book external drive hooked up to the USB port. I have two partitions on it. I tried to change the group settings to read write and got an error saying I did not have permission. Now the first partition will mount, but the second which I tried to change will not mount.
    Disk utility sees the drive but it is grayed out. DiskWarrior sees the drive.
    I dragged out my old G3 running 10.3.9 and plugged it in. Works great. The disk drive partition mounts and all of the files are there. What do I need to do to get 10.4.11 to mount the disk partition?
    The external drive is a Western Digital My Book 250G divided equally into two partitions. The partitions are in Mac extended format.

    I'm having pretty much the same problem... Have a WD 500 GB external attached via USB. I can't say for sure that the WD caused this (wasn't paying close enough attention), but I've noticed that my own MacBook HD is no longer mounted. I can't seem to find anyway to accomplish this either. I've booted from another volume to run Disk Utility (repair/verify). I rebooted with the MacBook startup drive and still, no HD. And NOW I can't see the bootable partition I made on the WD external. What?
    I feel like the opposite of a nerd, cuz I'm just scratching my head at this point. Oh yeah, and running 10.4.11...

  • External Hard drive will not mount on Macbook Air (mid-2011) OSX 10.9.4

    Hello Everyone!
    Needs some help resolving this issue.  External hard drive (Toshiba v63600-C) will not mount anymore on my mothers-in-law's macbook air.  She notice this problem starting on the Aug 6th.  You can see it in the Disk Utility but is not mounted.  I can get the her ext hard drive to mount on my Macbook Pro with no problem.  I also tried my personal ext hard drive (Seagate) on her Macbook Air and it will not mount.  Not sure what is going on here.  Any help is appreciated in resolving this issue.
    Disk Utility
      Mount Point : Not mounted  Capacity : 1 TB (1,000,096,367,104 Bytes)
      Format : Windows NT Filesystem (Tuxera NTFS)  Available : -
      Owners Enabled : -  Used : -
      Number of Folders : -  Number of Files : -
    Actions Taken So Far:
    1) Confirmed "external disk" is selected under Finder's Preference
    2) Reset PRAM
    3) Ran Verify Disk and Repair Disk under Disk Utility with no change.
    4) Tried manually mounting disk in Disk Utility but get "Mount Failed" error

    You may believe this is Apple's problem but I just like Baltwo have had absolutely no problems with any of my Firewire drives in Lion. So unless you can come up with much stronger evidence to the contrary, I doubt that your feeling are going to carry any weight at all.
