DMG's not auto mounting after download

I've recently switched to using Safari as my main browser, and I'm having trouble with DMG's not mounting after I successfully download them.
I do have the option enabled 'Open "safe" files after downloading' turned on, and some files auto-open after downloading them, but not DMG's - and that seems to be what I most frequently download.
I even tried creating a com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist file and added DMG to the safe list, as discussed here. But that didn't seem to make any difference either.
All in all I'm very happy with Safari, but have to get these darned DMG's to auto-mount like they are supposed to.
Any and all ideas welcomed.

Ok, I resolved this one myself.
FlashMount 1.5.2 was the problem. FlashMount is a killer alternative to Apple's Disk Image Mounter in OSX but for some reason with Safari DMG's don't auto mount. There is no problem with Camino, not sure why this is happening which is unfortunate since FlashMount looks to be deprecated.

  • External Hard Drive connected to AEBS does not auto mount

    Just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.5. I have a AEBS running 5.3.2 airport utility with a LaCie HD connected to it.
    In Tiger, my external hard drive would auto mount onto the desktop every time the computer turned on or woke up from sleeping etc.
    In Leopard, my external drive will not auto mount. It does not show up in the sidebar under devices. It does not show up in the disk utility. To access it, I have to go the the finder sidebar, select my AEBS under shared, then select my HD. Also, I did check show connected servers and external disk on the desktop in the finder preferences. Also, not sure if this matters but the icon on my external drive on my desktop is the blue drive with three people holding hands and not the brighter blue one with the wireless signal logo.
    In tiger my external HD basically acted like any other folder that was always there and not like a networked drive that I had to go and connect to. I want to go back to that. I heard this has to do with leopord no longer having the airdisk utility??
    thanks

    Try making an alias of one of the top-level folders in your external (AEBS-connected) drive, drag it to the desktop, and then put it in your Login Items.
    --> System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items
    You can simply drag the folder alias into the Login Items window.
    When you next log in, the folder will be automatically opened. Alas, it doesn't give you instant access to the entire external drive, but you can back out a level to see the entire drive. It isn't quite what you had with Tiger, but perhaps it will suffice.
    If you leave the aliased folder on your desktop, you have a skinny approximation to the mounted volume that you had with Tiger.

  • My Iphoto does not work properly, after downloading Mavericks.  How can I fix it ?  loading Mavericks

    My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Server Shares will not Auto-Mount on Clients

    Hi,
    When I log onto my network, my server shares do not auto-mount.
    Clients are able to log onto network. Connection to server on clients shows a
    green light.  When I go into finder and try to connect to shares network  with
    client user name /password it will not open shares.   Shares will open with server
    password, but I don't want to save server password on the clients.
    All other services will setup and work as expected using  client username / password.
    I'm using Mountain Lion Server 10.8.2 and Mountain Lion Clients 10.8.2.
    File sharing is turned on in the MLS Profile. Service access for clients File Sharing is checked. 
    I have tried restarting server clients.
    Any ideas on how to fix this, short of a reinstall?
    Thanks,
    John

    Imagine you want to enter your parents' house. You have a key for your house but it won't work on their locks. They won't give you their key and now you complain you can't get in with your own key. Same thing, server password and client password are two different keys for two different locks.

  • [SOLVED] Thunar (XFCE4) Does not Auto-mount USB Drive

    After reading some posts related to USB auto-mounting in Thunar and yet still having the problem, I decided to post this. Thunar used to detect the USB drives and auto-mount them. These days (I GUESS after moving to systemd), It cannot do so. Still, there is the icon of USB drive on the left side panel, but when I click on it to browse it, I get this error:
    Failed to mount "USB_LABLE".
    Error when getting information for file
    '/media/usbhd-sdc1': Transport endpoint is not connected.
    I am still able to use "sudo mount..." and get the job done, but I would prefer the convenient way it used to work. Here are some information about my system:
    command> cat ~/.xinitrc
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do

    done

    I'd rather not edit the /etc/fstab; the way Thunar used to behave, was working with every new USB. I wonder if anybody can shed some lights.

    The error looks suspiciously like one I had not so long ago and it turned out I still had an 11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rule in /etc/udev/rules.d.  Once I removed that and rebooted everything was fine again.

  • External drive not auto mounting (anymore)

    i have a external HDD for which I made an entry in fstab. I worked perfectly till now. After i installed udisks and wrapper 'devmon' all the other drive are now auto mounted but the one which has entry in fstab does not !
    i believe fstab mounts it during the boot up and devmon mounts it during the awesome start up since I made devmon entry in .xinitrc. is it the udisks thats conflicting with fstab ?!?! i mean its unlikely to happen right ?

    Actually that is an interesting question. I have an external drive connected to my router and I share it on the router IP address (obviously fixed) via samba. Is it still a bad idea to use fstab in such case?
    Sometimes but not always I have a re-mount problem coming back from hibernate or suspend. Will it be solved if I move mount to mtab?

  • Document not auto cleared after performing FF67

    Hi all,
    firstly i would like to acknowledge that i'm using version 4.7.
    after performing FF67, bank recon document generated in main bank & clearing bank GL accounts. But it is not auto clear in the clearing bank GL account. the treatment is as post GL account & manual clear.
    after checking:-
    1. trans type ABC using int. algorithm 15 - use assignment field to clear.
    2. posting type in posting rule is 4 - clear debit GL account
    in FF67 screen variant, assignment field entered the same as assignment value in clearing bank account. by right, the documents will clear off automatically.
    anyone can assist what else that i miss out?
    thanks in advance.

    hi..
    we can perform manual clearing or F.13, but the pupose of having such posting rule and posting type is to minimize steps of clearing.
    by right, once ff67 posted, the clearing bank gl account will get cleared.

  • Captivate 7: slide with mouse will not auto advance after publishing

    After I export my Captivate video, any slide that has a mouse object on it does not auto advance. I suspected that maybe the clicking sound file default attached to the action may have become corrupted, so I opened the sound file attached to "single-click" from Captivate. In the VisualClicks folder, there were no sound files. So, I opened the ClickSounds folder and attached the Mouse.mp3 file to this action. After publishing the training, the slide still will not auto advance. The slides that do not have the mouse action advance automatically as they should. The sound file may not be the issue (going to try to uncheck all of the Mouse Click Sound check boxes and republish to see if that helps).
    Was hoping to find a solution for future videos.
    Each slide is basically a layer of audio > slide > png file > the occasional smart object and/or text > mouse. I have no quizzes or video.
    When publishing I use the following setup swf/html5 with swf + html5 checked and scalable HTML content checked. We use Google Chrome and I've had numerous people try my HTML link after I've uploaded all files and everyone has the same issue. 
    1- Do you happen to know why the mouse action would cause the slide to not auto advance, and if so please let me know a solution so the user doesn't have to click next. If the mouse itself isn't the culprit, any other suggestions on what could cause this?
    2- Is there a way to make changes to the audio or override the mouse properties on all slides? I tried right clicking and "use the current mouse pointer for all slides" but it didn't change any of the properties. Thankfully my video is only 110 slides or it would have been even more painful.
    Captivate 7
    Windows 8.1

    Of course! Here ya go
    For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

  • IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

    I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

    Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
    Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

  • Ipod will not re-mount after unmounting

    this has been a problem with every ipod i have plugged into my G5 via firewire (doesn't matter which port). I have reinstalled os x twice and it has not solved any problems. The problem is as follows:
    After turning on the computer, I can plug my ipod in, and it will mount. If I unmount it and try to re-mount it by plugging it in, it does not re-mount. I am using 10.4 and the same problem was happening since 10.3. If I restart the computer, I can get it to remount. When I plug it in after it has been unmounted, it's not detected in system profiler or in disk utility.
    Heres the strange part.
    When I plug another firewire device in and use it, the ipod mounts itself and works again until unmounted. when I try to re-mount it with the FW device still plugged in, it won't remount, but, I can unmount the other firewire device and re-mount it, and then the ipod will remount.
    This is probably the most screwed up issue ever. someone fix it!

    I am having the same issue....
