Downloading - DMG

I have NeoOffice and everytime I try to download an update it won't let me. The download manager says the DMG file is not recognized. Is there anyway to remedy this?

well I don't know about updating it but you can get the latest version for mac os here:

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?

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.
Or your iPhone may be restricted. Check Settings > General > Restrictions

Trying to re-install mac office 2011 (downloaded dmg) but installer "not responding"

My Mac Word 2011 seems corrupted, so I downloaded a dmg (from my Amazonm Software account {I purchased the 2011 Office package on Amazon in 2011}) in order to try to re-install. Interestingly, the downloaded dmg is a file named "Office_Mac_Home_and_Student_2011_1_User_3_Installs_OLD_VERSION_Downloader.dmg" .
The problem is that the installer doesn't work. It hangs every time with a "not responding" message appearing in the "force quit" window.
I should be able to get some help from Microsoft, I suppose, but don't know who to call at microsoft. By thye way, I have never hade to reinstall any software bought over the web (so that i do not have any DVD copy) so this is probably more confusijg to me because of that. Thanks.
I am using Snowleopard on an iMac

Why not simply re-download directly from Microsoft's website? Seems much easier going right to the source rather than using a reseller? Also if you have been backing up you can also restore from Time Machine which would be the easiest solution. Either way you will need the MS's install codes for re-installing the app.
BTW locating MS's download site took all of a second to research using Google. I searched for Office for Mac download and found:

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.

Cannot open Lightroom 5 download.dmg on my Mac 10.7, it says the file image is not recognized. Anybody knows what I should do?

I tried to open the Lightroom 5 download (.dmg file) on my Mac, but it gives this:
Any suggestion of what I should do now?

While mine wasn't specifically with lightroom (it was with illustrator), but I found my problem to be that my internet application would quit the download after 599mb. Thus, I would have a corrupt file. Everything on my computer is up to date. I installed the downthemall addon for firefox and was able to complete my 1.5gb download for illustrator. An annoying hiccup, but like ArunPrasad said, this issue can occur because of many reasons.

Problems with downloading dmg.gz files with Firefox

I've noticed some problems where Firefox has problems trying to download dmg.gz files, and it will spit out a bunch of garbled "code" to the screen instead of downloading the file. I tried the same file, just as a dmg file, and Firefox downloaded it just fine. Any ideas on what is going wrong here? Is this some limitation with Firefox and not understanding dmg.gz files, or is the disk image not being created and compressed properly, or is this a matter on the server that would have to be fixed?
I haven't noticed this problem of trying to download dmg.gz files with other browsers like Safari or OmniWeb.

I don't know where the filename->filetype mapping is in Firefox, but I do know that the popup menu on links includes a "Save link as..." item. So command-click or hold down the mouse button for a while or right-click on one of the links that causes problems and select that item. That will give you a standard "save as" dialog box and you can save the file. This trick works for any link and any filetype.

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!

OSX SL wont automount downloaded .dmg and open it

I have a Mac at work and if I download a .dmg or a .dmg.zip file using safari it will save it to the downloads folder and then automatically unzip and mount it and after mounting the dmg will open up a window. I find this very convenient.
Now at home I have a macbook pro also running SL 10.6.8 and here if I download a .dmg or .dmg.zip safari simply saves it to downloads. It does not automatically mount it. If the file is a .dmg.zip safari unzips it but leaves it at that.
Also if I doubleclick the downloaded .dmg it mounts but does not open. I have to then double click the mounted drive to open it. Can anyone help me.
I have the setting Open safe files after downloading ticked in safari. No other mounting utilities are installed, the osx setup is pretty much at its defaults on both machines.
Thanks in advance

Update: I finally bit the bullet and reinstalled SL. The version on the install disk was 10.6.7 and both of the above problems disappeared.
Then I applied the combo update to 10.6.8 and safari stopped automounting downloaded disk images.
However now if I click the dmg, it mounts and opens the dmg front page automatically. So that side of the problem has disappeared.
Clearly all this is a setting somewhere because at work my Mac is running 10.6.8 and it all works correctly.

Software Update vs Download dmg iTunes 10.2 file size

Just curious, but I notice is software update, the size is 35, but the download dmg is 75....
That'a a big difference..
Message was edited by: powerbook1701

are you sure?? I believe that is true for the windows version, but not the Mac version of itunes as that has a seperate download...
Yes, QT is and has always been part of the iTunes download for Windows and Mac OS.
If you run the installer (don't actually complete the install) and go to menu File > Show files, you can see what files are included.
There is also a separate QT installer for Windows.

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...
