Downloading  dmg  file and  Mounting Failed ??

hi,
i might have messed up with the files on my ibook.
i somehow deleted previous users account and created mine As Admin. ..... however deleted user account is in deleted user folder as dmg file.
now when i log in my account as admin and download something > then Disk copier helper opens > then installation >> and finally Message comes .. Mounting Failed ( error 95 ).
this happened when i tried to download and install dmg file from internt
it also says that there is no file folder to handle this file
How can i fix mounting problem on my User Account as Admin.
thanks

I'm on the same boat. I called Apple Support. They made me clean cache, create a new user, yada yada yada. Nothing helped. Last resort was to re-install OSX Snow 10.6.2
I did so, doing an ERASE then moving files/programs back from Time Machine. Right after OS was just installed, I was able to download anything. After I did an upgrade to the latest combo patch to 10.6.2 I was back in "no download land"
I have Google Chrome (no dice), FireFox (no dice)....
Help! I don't want to have to re-install everything again!

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

  • Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files.

    Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files. Says "the Following disk images couldn't be opened". and then say's there "isn't enough disk space" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with apps that are not approved by the app store. How can I turn it off?

    Select your hard drive in the Finder and choose File -> Get Info. What is the available space?

  • My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?

    FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
    From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
    Notes
    If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
    If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems.

  • I cannot successfully download .dmg files including Firefox updates. I can do it on Safari. Why?

    When I try to download .dmg files with firefox, I get a box that asks if I want to Open with [choose] or Save File. Not sure what if any application to use to open it. So I try to save it but it doesn't save the .dmg file. So I use Safari. When I click the download button (as I did to get Firefox 4.0 for the Mac) in Safari, it automatically starts to download and creates the image to drag the image into the application folder. Why can't my Firefox do this whereas Safari cannot? This happens on my desktop at home and at work, both Macs; both using Max 10.6.6.

    Pandora may either not be available in the language or country you are using.  This is likely the reason.

  • Safari 5.1 can´t download dmg files

    For a long time I couldn´t download dmg files or open PDF´s in Safari, every time when I tried to open or download a file Safari just opend a black screen and nothing else happend!
    However..... I found a very simple solution which helped to solve both problems (Safari 5.1)
    Step 1:      Open FINDER -> Macintosh HD -> Libary -> Internet Plug-Ins
    Step 2:      Transfer "ALL" files to your desktop! (do not just copy!!!)
    Step 3:     Open Safari and empty cache and close Safari
    Step 4:     Reopen Safari and try to open a PDF file or to download a dmg file ( at this point it was already working for me again!)
    Step 5:     Transfer files from Desktop back to FINDER -> Macintosh HD -> Libary -> Internet Plug-Ins
    FINISH!!!!
    If you experience any trouble again after Transfering the files back start again by step one and move at Step 5 always just one file to identify the file which seems to create the trouble!
    I hope this simple steps helps for you guys as well

    These statements require an Adobe Viewer plugin
    That's going to be a problem unfortunately, with Safari 5.1
    Read here >  Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
    A workaround according to Adobe is to use another browser.
    I personally have found that Firefox works just fine.

  • Cannot download .dmg files from Apple Developer

    I am unable til download XCode 6 beta .dmg files on my Macbook Pro with OSX 10.9.4 (I have put a Samsung SSD as primary drive and a conventional harddisk as second in the DVD bay). I have a paid IOS developer account and is logged ind.
    The problem is the same with Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
    I can download the same .dmg files without problems with my Windows 8.1 computer, and install them after transfer to the mac - so that is my solution right now.
    I can download .dmg files from other sites on my mac (eg. Intego) without problems.
    I use Intego antivirus/net security but uninstall does not help the problem.
    In all 3 browsers, a new tab is opened at it just spins til i finally times out.
    Any hint appreciated.

    I have now found that the problem is with:
    1) the developer page for XCode 6 beta ressources - but not with any other webpages, also no problem with the XCode 5 ressources
    2) library downloads from prefrerences within XCode 6 beta (currently beta 5) but ok within XCode 5.1 preferences.
    - so the problem is NOT with .dmg files - but any file having anything to do with XCode 6 beta. So:
    Maybe I should rather ask in the developer forum.

  • Downloaded DMG files don't open.

    I have had some trouble lately when downloading DMG files with Safari. In the URL bar I could see it was downloading and then downloaded however nothing happend. Changed to open with DiskUtility didn't do anything. Firewall had no influence. When downloaded with Firefox there was NO problem and everything went fine like it use to do with Safari. So I suspect it is a bug in Safari since this happens with all DMG files of late.

    Yes I first looked in my 'Downloads' folder and none to be found. Other download files like mp3 and pdf's no problem, they open straight away and show a little download arrow icon top left in the browser. It's really just DMG files, very peculiar.

  • I cannot download dmg files

    Everytime I try to download a dmg I just get a black screen and nothing downloads.

    Hi aikidojoe,
    Sorry to say I have not been able to solve the problem.   However, the problem only exists with Safari, as
    I also have Google Chrome and Firefox and am able to download dmg files on those.
    I also have another problem with Safari that appears to have begun at the same time, I can't view or download
    PDF files from websites on Safari, but again I can on Google Chrome and Firefox.
    Even stranger (without going into a long list) there are things I can do Safari that I can not do on Google Chrome or Firefox, and other things I can do on Safari and Firefox but not Google Chrome, and still other things I can do on Safari and Google Chrome but not on Firefox.   All these things should work on all 3 browsers.
    To make a long story a little shorter, with the exception of the problems with dmg and PDF files, overall Safari seems to be faster and handles the majority of things better than Firefox and Google Chrome.   So, in order to be fairly functional, when I need to download dmg files or PDF files I use Google Chrome which appears to be better than Firefox in these two areas.
    Although I don't know what the actual problem is or what to do about it, I believe the problem is with Safari itself.   The current versions of Safari are made for 32 or 64 bit processors (I still use a 32 bit processor) and I think the problem is in this dual programming.
    The latest versions of Firefox and Google Chrome are also made for 32 or 64 bit processors and again I think there are dual processing problems manifested in the fact they they won't do certain things right.
    I plan to upgrade to a 64 bit computer this month and will try to remember to let you know what happens with the 3 browsers with the new setup.
    In the meantime I would appreciate your comments on the above and any ideas you may have.
    I hope this helps in some way.
    Good Luck!
    Hal

  • Problem downloading .dmg files.

    Problem downloading .dmg files (Flash, Chrome, Firefox). Once I hit the download option Safari screen goes blank, actually grey and nothing downloads.

    Back up all data, then uninstall "Speed Download" according to the developer's instructions.

  • Why do I get redirected to a blank page when I try to download .dmg files?

    I have been having real difficulties for about the last 2 months downloading .dmg files. Instead, I have often been redirected to a blank page, which takes a while to load and the downloads window in my Safari browser does not recognize the download at all. If I try to "save target as" I simply get a useless HTML file. Anyone else have the same problem?

    Make sure your software is up to date. Click your Apple menu / Software Update...

  • I am running 4.0.1 and when I download something the Download box stays blank-even though I have selected in General Preferences 'Show the downloads window when downloading a file' AND selected 'Save files to Downloads'....???

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.
