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.

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.
thanksHi
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)?

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 -
I downloaded the new IOS, but it will not allow me to log into iCloud. I even tried resetting my password, but it does not recognize me. Please help. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue. I went through the apple website to reset my password, and it was no problem, even let me update my email address and apple id, but my iphone is still not accepting what I know the password is, so I can't delete it, or change the apple id information.

.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. -
Firefox has been loading slowly the past week. It hung up today. I closed it and upon reopening it gave error message: "Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page." It screened an option to eliminate one or more tabs the two available were: "Window 1" and "about blank". I could do nothing with either. The other choice was to restore session and that did not work. I trashed the Firefox folder from my Applications folder and downloaded new version of Firefox. When I open it I get the same message. I have rebooted computer and downloaded new Firefox version twice. Can't make it work. I am using a MAC with 10.6.8 OS.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

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.

My Firefox crashed. I got Mozilla Crash Reporter. It refused to reopen no matter how often I tried or re-booted. It continued to try to restore Tabs. So I used MS Control Panel Add/Delete Programs. I deleted it and then used Chrome to download a new version. But it continues to try to reopen tabs. I love Firefox in spite of it's repeated crashing .... often when I am saving pictures to my hard drive. I love the add-ons and extensions. How do I get around it's effort to restore Tabs? How do I get it to open? I don't care about the Tabs. My Thunderbird email address is [email protected] My OS is MS Windows XP. Please help, Gary

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
'''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
'''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.

Downloaded new KeyScrambler but it will not recognize Firefox
Within Firefox downloaded Key Scrambler 2.7 and it could not find Firefox on my computer. I got a message saying that it should be loaded within Firefox using Key Scrambler.xpi but I cannot seem to locate this, Also it shows in my Firefox as an extension but KS calls it a plugin
http://www.qfxsoftware.com/ks-windows/user-manual-windows.htm <br />
Scroll down that page to - '''III. Manually Install KeyScrambler Personal''' - for Firefox installation directions.
Different terminology might be used by different developers. In Firefox if it installs via and XPI package, it's known as an ''' "extension" ''', even if it installs a '''''plugin''''' to be used by Firefox. Even more confusing is the fact the Mozilla considers themes, extensions, and plugins to all be '''addons'''. -
I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. There are other ipods hooked up on this one, but this one won't work. it hasn't had an update in a while, and it won't let me update it because it won't connect to itunes, or show up on the computer. There is no place that says there is a software update on the ipod. I was wondering how to get it updated or at least get it connected to itunes?

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. -
I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing
Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder. -
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. -
I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?
I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner
