Downloaded update disk won't mount

I've noticed a number of updates failing to complete due to a failure in mounting the downloaded disk image.
Little snitch suggests an hdiutil command failure when it tried but I have had failures with various Google updates and VLC as well.
Any thoughts?

You had, at one stage, MacKeeper installed but you appear not to have successfully uninstalled it. As for all the other third party stuff, I have never heard of it either. But make sure you uninstall MacKeeper for a start

Hi,
Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
Go look what had happen with your apps. Maybe it's ok. If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod.

DVD-Ram disks won't mount on Dual 450 - help!

I've got a particular and pressing problem. I'm an audio engineer among other things. I have a lot of files archived temporarily on DVD-Ram disks from my old Dual 450. I have to retrieve some files pronto but suddenly the DVD-Ram disk won't mount. The drive spits out the disk as soon as I insert it. It will mount CDs but not these DVD-Ram disks. Please help. I need to back these up off of thse old disks. But more urgently I have pending sessions that require I get some files from these disks. This happens both under OS 9.1 and 10.2.8 the last revisions of this computer I did. But it used to work until a year or so ago.
I have so far repaired permissions, used Disk Warrior and sprayed around the dusty drive with compressed air. It seems that perhapos a mechanism is loose springing the disk out when it's not immediately recognized as a CD or DVD-R.
Help!

Probably your best bet is to dismantle the drive and try manually cleaning the lenses, which has made a difference for some users.
Other option is to replace the drive with a new one capable of reading (but not necessarily writing) DVD-RAM media. LG-4163B is one such drive, Pioneer DVR-110 can also read DVD-RAM. These drives are under $40 online in the US.

System disk won't mount

Hi folks,
I have a Mac mini running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I'm having problems with iCal, so I erased the program and its Library support files, and tried to reinstall from the system disk (which is 10.6.3). The machine won't mount it, just ejects it after a while.
Is this normal behavior since the OS has been updated? It's new behavior to me. What would I do if I needed to reinstall the syatem?
Thanks,
Eric

Run the combo 10.6.8 update. If that doesn't work, get your PRAM battery replaced. If that doesn't work, get your optical drive cleaned and see if the disc inserts then. If that doesn't work, but other discs do work, then I would call AppleCare to get replacement original discs. If they don't work, then I would have get an external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ and see if the disc will work from them. If that dosn't work, bring it in for service to find out what is wrong with it.

Help -- System disk won't mount

Hi folks,
My mini: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz, ID Macmini4,1
System: 10.6.8
I need to restore my iCal. It's broken: won't give me recurring event alarms. I'm trying to run my System Disk and it won't mount, the machine just rejects it. Same with the Applications Disk that came with it.
The System Disk is 10.6.3 and the machine is now running the fully Updated version.
Help, please, this a business computer and I need iCal back.
Thanks,
Eric

External disk won't mount after 10.5.7 upgrade

Hi,
I know there's problem with Buffalo external HD; mine is Lexcron 3.5'' external case and it won't mount neither. I tried PRAM restart, and if I go to Disk Utility and try to repair, it gives me the following message:
Verify and Repair volume “Dirty Hary”
** /usr/local/bin/ntfsfix has been disabled because of volume corruption issues.
** If you still want to try fixing your volume, use /usr/local/bin/ntfsfix from the command line...
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
It worked with 10.5.6 and it still works with Win XP (it's NTFS format).
Is there something that I can do?
Will this issue be solved in Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance for any kind of constructive info (I've already read threads with Buffalo issue, but I didn't find any thread giving a solution).

Hi V.K.,
Thanks for your response, can you provide some more details?
OS X has very limited support for NTFS. you need to repair the drive from windows.
How do I do that? I mean the disk works normally in Win XP and it worked normally in the previous OS X version. Btw. I've also installed NTFS-3D which allowed to write on the disk and search from spotlight (of course when it was mounted).
run chkdsk in windows and see if it finds any errors.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265
it can also be that the problem is caused by ntfs-3g which is known to have a number of bugs. you can try uninstalling it or plugging in the drive in a mac without ntfs-3g installed.
there is no "issue" to solve.
Well if it worked in 10.5.6 and it works in Win XP and it doesn't work in 10.5.7 I am tempted to say 10.5.7 has an issue.
the fact that you have a problem with one drive on your particular system doesn't mean there is a problem with os x in general. an issue is when all or at least many people have a problem, not one.
furthermore, NTFS is a proprietary file system of Microsoft with closely guarded secrets about its inner workings which is why it has very limited support on other types of operating systems. apple is under no obligation to provide ANY support for something like that. programs like NTFS-3g are essentially unauthorized hacks.

After 10.4.7 update iPod won't mount

Hard Disk Won't Mount; Lion Wants To Initialise It - Please Help!!

Greetings All,
Disk issues! Help! Ok, I have an external RAID box (Sonnet 8 Bay SATA) with 4 pairs of RAID 1 drives. One of the pairs, 3Tb Hitachis, all of a sudden won't mount on OS X Lion. Everything was working fine, tried to save something to them, Mac refused, I restarted and the other three pairs show up, but the 3Tb Hitachi pair don't. OS X gives me the message that "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". I've restarted the Mac and Sonnet box several times, checked that all drivers are up to date and reinstalled anyway. Have also taken the two drives out and tried to get them mounted on my Mac Pro or MacBook Pro using a FW800 dock without joy - always get the same message mentioned. Disk Warrior won't even help as when the Hitachi 3Tb is plugged in via the dock, the program hangs when it's scanning for disks. Although all the data on the drives is almost definitely backed up, I don't want to initialise / format the disks as there is a chance some video files aren't and also it'll knock FCP X as this was the primary drive where Events and Projects are stored.
Any suggestions would be thoroughly appreciated :-)
Cheers,
Edmond

Hi,
Both drives physically are working (both bought together several months ago). The Sonner RAID software shows the RAID pair as ok and doesn't report any issues or errors - it sees both drives and the RAID 1 is 100% fine. So, as far as teh RAID box is concerned, all is well and there are zero issues.
When I try plugging the drives in seperately using a dock, neither will mount and give the same error message :-(
The issue seems to be at a data / OS level. Biggest initial problem is I can't mount them to check :-(

Hard Disk Won't Mount Volume

I have a hard disk that won't mount. It was previosly part of a software mirror RAID. The raid was degraded, so I tried to rebuild the second raid mirror. THis failed, and now the master won't mount either. In TechTools, the drive is reported as being fine, but the volume still won't mount. Any suggestions? This is really setting us back a bit.

Disk won't mount - Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance Mode)

I have an HP Envy DV7 (dv7-7243cl ) with Windows 8 Pro x64. My Western Digital 2 terabyte My Book USB3.0 external drive periodically won't mount ( sometimes it will, sometimes it won't). The drive has its own power source.
When this happens Windows device manager shows - Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance Mode). This can happen if the system is up and running and I plug the drive into the USB port or on system startup where the drive is already plugged in.
Any clue how to fix this?

Well, the problem is that - as outlined in one of the articles I linked to - some USB devices will not work in Safe Mode; that may have to do with the fact the Safe Mode is only meant to be a troubleshooting tool, not a regular way of booting up. Did you have the USB devices attached while upgrading to 10.6? That would also be a problem - I unplug everything except keyboard and mouse.And, did you repair permissions after the upgrade? If not, do it now.
And, the other problem is the fact that you wait 1 - 2 years before addressing the issue; when you had it in for the last repair and it still exhibited the same problems afterwards, you should would have taken it back, possibly with some screenshots, exact notes of how/when/error messages, etc. and insisted on having it fixed or replaced.
So, I'd run the Apple Hardware Test (after you make sure that you have a complete backup) - instructions here:

Report back with whatever messages you wind up with.

10.5.7 update: Bluetooth gone, disks won't mount

Installation of the 10.5.7 update sort of worked. My system says it installed, but I did get a message saying something like "Update was not completely succesful".
The one reason for updating was that I hoped to be able to use my wireless mouse again, which on 10.5.6 would disconnect seconds after I connected it.
Now, Bluetooth isn't even able to connect to the mouse.
So I tried to do a Combo update reinstall of 10.5.7, but then I got the message "Mounting failed". I tried a random piece of different software and got the same message.
When I double click the .dmg file, I get the message "Device not configured".
Any solutions?

Thanks for replying. It's Apple's infamous Mighty Mouse.
Just ran Disk Utility > Repair permissions to see if that would solve anything, but no luck.
It did give warnings that the following permissions could not be repaired:
- System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpload
- usr/bin/setregion
- System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner
- System/Library/Printers/IOMs/LPRIOM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/LPRIOMHelper
It's the first time ever that an OS X update has given me headaches.

Download failed or won't mount everytime I try updating to 10.4.6

I have 10.4.5 running on my eMac and have the latest security update that I can see on the apple download page. But everytime I try updating to 10.4.6 I get an error message half way through the download that says "Mount Failed" and sometimes "Download Failed". Is there something I'm missing or am I trying the wrong download here? The download I'm trying is the 10.4.6 combo for PPC.
I had been downloading the "combo" since 10.4.2 and things always worked fine. Any ideas?
Please help, Ken

Hi Ken
Welcome to Discussions
The Security Updates are dependant on the version of OS10.4.x you are currently running
Software Update determines that but if you do the download and install yourself then you need to check the relevant document for the upgrade (click on the title and the info sheet will appear). Also the info can be got from
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798
If you are running OS 10.4.5 then the latest Security Update will have updated the relevant files as though they were 10.4.8 and that might be the problem
Download the Combo for 10.4.8 for PPC and hopefully it will install (when using the Combo versions you can jump revisions as they in effect overwrite the system files and so give you a complete new system. REMEMBER Backup first , Repair Permisions second , Install Upgrade third
There is also Security Update 2006-007 (10.4.8 Client PPC) to install as well after which Security Update 2006-008 (PPC) may need to be applied again

USB disk won't mount on startup (have tried everything)

Hi!
I'm having big problems getting my USB disk to mount on startup.:(
It used to work perfectly by having 'mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' in rc.local (and umount in local.shutdown) but recently it started saying that 'filesystem type must be defined' (or something like that). So I changed the line to 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' but now I get a message that '/dev/sdc1 does not exist'.
So I decided to get this fixed in fstab once and for all.
I checked the designations of the disks with 'fdisk -l' and noticed that the USB disk would alternate between /dev/sdc, /dev/sde and /dev/sdd quite random on every reboot. In other words I couldn't mount it in fstab by using one of those paths cause I'd get the same problem with '/dev/sdc or -e or -d does not exist'. I figured the sollution must be to mount the disk by using UUID. I checked the uuid's and got the following (as you can see the USB disk is on this reboot registered as '/dev/sde'):
bash-3.2$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0

I other words the UUID of the disk should be '94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6' so I added that to the fstab file, but I still get the same error that the disk doesn't exist. How is this possible? Isn't the UUID supposed to be the same no matter what? When the disk is clearly labeled with this UUID every time I check it why can't it be used in fstab??
Here's my fstab (I've commented out the lines that I've been trying out):

What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried to use different options like 'rw,auto,exec' but it won't work.

It seems I'm able to mount the disk from the terminal by doing '# sudo mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk'.
But this only works when I do it manually. Adding 'mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk' to rc.local only gives the error that filesystem must be defined and when it's defined I get the error that device is not found.
How can it work manually, but not in fstab or rc.local?
Here's my dmesg:

Disk Won't Mount - Broken Pipe

I'm no longer able to mount disk images that I have downloaded. Double-clicking on the downloaded .dmg gives me a cryptic message: "The following image failed to mount." "Reason: Broken pipe"
I attempted to mount it using the hdiutil command and got the following:
michael-babcocks-computer:~ MB$ hdiutil attach /MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _DIGetLocalKey
Referenced from: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/Resources/diskimages-hel per

hdiutil: attach failed - Broken pipe
So far I have done the following:
Repaired permissions
Verified disk with Disk Utilities (passed verification)
Rebuilt directory with DiskWarrior
Checked file structure with DiskWarrior
Ran Tech Tools Pro 4.5.1 to repair structures & files
Uninstalled WindowShade 4.1.2 & APE
Purged all caches with both Cocktain & Cache Out X
Zapped the PRAM
Anything I can do, short of a system re-install? I've got a (Intel) Mac Pro running 10.4.9 -- It seems to have happened after downleading the 10.4.9 upgrade via Software Update.
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I too accepted the Software Update, as I always have in the past, and so I downloaded the 10.4.9 update on my MacPro. The installer for the System Update (third installer to run, after Quicktime and iTunes) gave me the "disk image failed to mount: broken pipe" message. From then on I have not been able to mount any DMG files.
If I use "hdiutil mount" in Terminal on any DMG I get this sort of output:

So if I remove the "DiskImages" folder that contains "/Library/Plug-Ins/VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin.bundle" (a suggestion I found at Macintouch) I get a smaller subset of the same message (though why would hdiutil have anything to do with VirtualPC in the first place) :

A search for the term "_DIGetLocalKey" in Google returns NO links. Nothing at all in billions of webpages? What's with that? However, I've seen enough posts on this very topic to see that it has been a common experience for the update to 10.4.9.
Other than going back to 10.4.8 and using the Combo Installer, is there something that can be done to fix this specific problem?
For example: Might there be a problem in the DiskImages Framework?

Old disk won't mount

Hi,
I recently had an SSD installed with no obvious problems. I had the original Hard drive fitted into an external case & was able to access the former Hard Drive. Since yesterday though, the drive is not mounting and, after about 10 minutes a message pops up saying the disk was not ejected properly. What could I do to access the old drive ?
thank you
HH

Hi Clinton,
Thank you for your advise. I removed the HD from the enclosure, checked the pins etc & all looked fine. I reassembled it & the HD is mounting again on the desktop. It does open again but it takes about 2 minutes, never mind.
I also have a program called Wondershare to download youtube videos & I didn't catch on at first that suddenly all youtube downloads failed.
Today, I read about icloud problems & just as a test I un-ticked icloud & Presto ! Everything is working good again.
I wonder if icloud causes these freaky problems.
regards
HH
