Editing ISO Images

I was wondering if it was possible to edit an iso image I have. The image mounts in disk mounter and I can see the directories and files, but it is mounted as read only. Is there any way I can write to an iso image?

While I am unfamiliar with and do not use ISO images, I do know some information is
available through a search; of the results, a few examples should be forthcoming; per:
' Mac OS X edit ISO images ' - google results page URL:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=MacOS+X+edit+ISO+image&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=Mac+OS+X+edit+ISOimage&fp=d9ca629f83f82f8a
Appears ISO images are also common with PCs or perhaps Intel-based Macs,
with BootCamp; if related to newer hardware & OS X... This obviously would
exceed an older PPC computer's capacity unless it was running some Windows
emulation software, or related image files. Where did you get this image file?
There is a possible match in the first pages of the search result link, above.
In some case, you can't edit these; according to several items I've read the
process may be conditional depending on the file's purpose & the OS.
What is the ISO image related to? If it was created by a specific
software or OS, then editing these may require suitable tools.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mac software for editing .iso images?

All --
Call me blind, but I have been searching Google for a fair amount of time and cannot come up with a single software title for the Mac that allows .iso image editing. (Editing = the ability to open and add/remove files from the iso, and then re-burn it.) Windows users have programs like MagicISO (http://www.magiciso.com/) but there doesn't seem to be a Mac equivalent.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Now, in many forums contributors have suggested using 'hdiutil' from the terminal, like 'hdiutil mount -readwrite image.iso' but it doesn't work. To quote the man page: "+-readwrite :: *attempt to override* the DiskImages framework's decision to attach a particular image read-only.+ "
Note the bold text. It is only an attempt, not a guarantee.
Anyway, I can't be the first person to try this. Any thoughts?

[Solved] how do i build my ISO image with archiso?

hi all
i've been following this wiki and it's been going really well (it hasn't gone wrong...). but the wiki page just sort of stops halfway through the configuration bit
a google search brought me to this page which suggests using the "build.sh" script located in my chroot environment's /tmp/releng/ directory.
running this script returns the error "build.sh: line 207: syntax error near unexpected token '('
line 207 of the file reads:
paste -d"\n" <(sed "s|%ARCH%|i686|g" ${script_path}/aitab.${_iso_type}) \
i don't really know much about scripts so i can't see what's wrong
any advice?
sorry if i've missed a wiki or something n00bish like that. also i'm aware that someone who doesn't know what they're doing shouldn't be attempting archiso but i thought it would be a fun learning experience
here's the full build.sh in case it is helpful:

thanks for that, according to this it should be run like
/path/to/build.sh build single netinstall
from inside the chroot
posting this for my own reference and in case it helps others, will mark as solved
thanks again for your help

k3b is working flawlessly except when I want to read existing DVDs into ISO images.
I use the "Copy DVD" option with "Only create image" checked.
The read never even starts.

Recently I bought a DVD burner and popped it in my 10.3.9 machine, and (after installing Patchburn) it read DVDs just fine. Whatever's going on, it's not an OS issue. If it was, can you imagine the how much noise there would be about it? Again, there have been a few posts on the forums about it, but that tells us all something -- this is an isolated issue and not a general OS issue.

Can't burn .ISO image with k3b/brasero on DVD-RW disc.

I don't understand what's going wrong here, so I hope someone can help me.
I have created an .ISO image (of a video) using DVDstyler.
(1) DVDstyler will burn it to a DVD-RW without any problems.
(2) I can burn it from the command line (growisofs etc.)
(3) I can burn it to a DVD-R from any application (DVDstyler, K3b, Brasero)
K3B and Brasero will write data to a DVD-RW any without problems
But, when I try to burn the dvd.iso to a DVD-RW disc with either k3b or Brasero, they fail with various error messages.
For example, K3B's debugging output is as follows

I hope this is enough to give some clues. BTW, I have tried forcing a re-format on the disc first from within the application, which reports success. It all used to work some months ago, but since I do not do this regularly, I can't identify exactly when the problem started.
I would really appreciate some guidance.
Many thanks in advance

He already stated thet he is re-formated teh disk
@myrlin
as far as i can see, problem is with

IPod hard drive and ISO image files

Every time I try to copy an ISO image file to the hard drive partition of my iPod, Windows tells me that the destination is full. This is not true, since my iPod has 23.5 GB of space left. Does anyone know why this might be, or have any way around it?
EDIT: This has not been a problem with ISO images smaller than 1GB, just in case this is a factor in the solving of this problem.

Yes, it will. But if DU says the disk is unformatted then it is also not accessible. If you have files you don't wish to lose then you will need to try recovery software:
Basics of File Recovery
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Editing RAW Images (NEF file)

Hi
I'm having trouble with editing RAW images from my Nikon D3000. This is my first time shooting in RAW so I have no idea what to do.
I've downloaded the DNG Converter from Adobe and converted all my files to DNG. However, when I opened them on Photoshop Elements 4.0, they turned out VERY grainy! (Even though all the shots are clear when viewed on my camera)
Also, I could not save my files as JPG (After converting them to DNG). The only options were TIFF, PNG, JPF (?).
Please help as the photos are quite important.
Thank you.

What version of the dng converter did you download?
What operating system are you using?
It's hard to judge how much noise are in the photos from the camera LCD screen.
Also, if you took the photos at high ISO settings or had the auto setting on, the camera may have used a high iso which can produce more noise.
Do you have a copy of Nikon View NX2 so you can get an idea of what the raw photos should look like?

If I make an ISO image on a PC, will it work on my MBP?

Hello,
I'm trying to install Windows 8 on my new MBP Retina. I bought a copy of Windows 8, which I could only get as a DVD (I spent some time on the phone talking to agents of the Microsoft Store and this was the only option: Windows 8 can only be downloaded if one is updating Windows 7, otherwise a DVD is what you get). Since the MBP does not have a DVD player, it seems that my best option is to make an ISO image of the DVD and then install it with a USB drive through Bootcamp as explained here: http://www.intowindows.com/install-windows-8-on-mac/
My question is: can I make this ISO image on a PC using any appropriate software (like Burnaware's free edition)? Or does the ISO image need to be made on another Mac?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Thank you mende1 and Allan Eckert for your help.
For those of you that might have the same question that I had, the answer is yes, the ISO image of your Windows 8 disc can be produced in a PC--you don't need another Mac to do this. And, the ISO file does not have to be bootable--I made a simple/standard one with Burnaware's free version but there are a number of other sofware out there that could be used for this purpose. Once you make the ISO image, move it to your MBP's desktop and follow the instructions for creating a bootable USB drive through Bootcamp--instructions can be found in Apple's website. You might find a couple of bumps here and there but overall, it's a very easy process and it works well. In my opinion, no disc drive is necessary. Good luck!

ISO image for Sun Fire v60x diagnostics CD

The only thread I can find on this diagnostic CD is from 2006:
Re: ISO image for Sun Fire v65x diagnostics CD...
The link posted in the forum:
"Sun Fire(tm) V60x, V65x Diagnostic CD 4.0
This distribution offers the Diagnostic CD image (Sun Fire(tm) V60x, V65x Diagnostic CD Release 4.0) supporting Sun Fire V60z and V65z products.
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=441f6709" (The download link on the page does not work).
Does not work due to the shift from Sun to Oracle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the file? I've been searching for months.
Thank you.

Hello,
it should be possible to locate these files via the migrated (Sun) System Handbook.
This is a blog entry about the new location of the System Handbook (review the 3rd comment)
http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/goodbye_sunsolve_helloooo_mos
Maybe the user Nik (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=826741) can help to locate the download. He is very active on these forums and an Oracle employee.
I don't have a MOS account, otherwise I would have been able to confirm if this download is still available. I guess due to the fact that Oracle contracts are more "fine grained", it's possible that downloads only for the systems covered by your service contract are visible.

Image to have mounted .ISO image?

I'd like to use a mounted ISO image (a live image on DVD). I was able to create the VBox image, of course, and if I created a disk it was okay to import, but after import the ISO is no longer mounted. Where does the template live? Is it something I can edit the file on to re-add the ISO before cloning?

This use case has not been covered with VDI 3. We expect more or less to import a ready to go image, that can be directly used as desktop or replicated as template. The mounting of the DVD will disappear after import. Something to work on for a later release.

TuxLyn wrote:@Pranavg1890, I'll see what I can do. Also, I've created wiki pages at github for all the scripts I released.
Really? This script is to download the iso, right? so, maybe I'm wrong, but I think downloading the iso and install it to an usb has nothing to do.
Or are you going to create another script to do that?
Anyway, about the downloading script.
What if it parsed the download page, to get all links listed there? With something like:
curl -s 'https://www.archlinux.org/download/' |sed -n '/id="download-mirrors"/,/\/div/ {/href/ s/.*href="$[^"]*$.*/\1/p; /h5/ s/.*<h5.*> $[^<]*$.*/\1/p}'
You could get the list of links.
Also, check this: http://grulos.blogspot.mx/2007/10/find- … irror.html
Is an script to find the fastest mirror from a list of urls.
To be really useful the script, it would be better if it autoselected the fastest mirror for you, instead of waiting for you to tell it which mirror to use.
So, what you think?

Upgrade system from iso image

Hi there, due the bandwith's situation in my country, download base image (+60) each month is almost imposible. There is any way to upgrade from a cd image? Arch's .iso are copied from other persons via pendrives. Could I roll the base system to "pristine", I mean, make a .tar.xz from the syystem and use that packgages for upgrade my system then?

If you're going to argue with every suggestion made, why bother posting in the first place? English doesn't appear to be your native language, so there seems to be a communication gap here. We're trying to help, but you refuse to listen, keep repeating yourself (without clarifying anything) and expect to be spoon-fed the information you seek.
Uranio-235 wrote:Wrong distro for this country
That's fine, no one is making you use Arch. You have the freedom to choose whatever distribution suits you best. As you seem to have worked out, Arch doesn't seem to be suitable for your situation. This doesn't mean Arch has a problem or is broken, it just means it's not suitable for you. I'm sorry if you feel slighted by this.

Why does Boot Camp not recognize Windows ISO image(s) ?

Dear friends,
My intention is to install Windows 7 on my Mac
(I've several Windows OS .iso images)
in the "BOOTCAMP" called partition, created by Boot Camp 3.0 application, on my internal drive.
This is a 32 GB partition, being FAT32 formatted,
but any version of Windows 7 (when installing)
will surely want to be on an NTFS volume and reformat it.
I've already burned 3 ISOs, with Toast Titanium 10.0.7 (speed : 2x, less not possible), on 3 DVDs :
— 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x64 (with folders and strict ISO 9660 names) ;
— 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone ;
— 1 DVD -R with W7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone.
*Boot Camp doesn't recognize these discs as Windows installation DVDs*,
and so does nothing but wait.
I'm sure that something is missing on the disks to be recognized
as bootable Windows installation discs,
but I absolutely don't know what (setup.exe, for example, or another .exe file ?).
Do I have to do something with the burning options
(strict ISO 9660 naming, Mac names authorized, Hybrid Mac and PC,
Joliet names or not, folders or not, etc.)
Do I have to do something with the ISO image (any ISO I have), and how, and what ?
I've also activators and many other things (.exe files),
but I think they have to be used AFTER installation.
Thank you very much in advance for your help !
With my kind regards,
Olivier Herrbach

Dear baltwo,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I'll go there immediately. It's obvious for me that only one .iso file, alone on a DVD, can't be sufficient, comparing with +(but I don't know what)+ is on a Microsoft Windows Install DVD.
With my kind regards
Olivier Herrbach
PS : I didn't have any time to reply to anyone, when I asked "How can I move something (copying it) without leaving original in it's place ?". Someone had the answer : "Drag and hold down cmd while releasing mouse". OK, it works, but you have to have good nerves, because folders open when doing that (I changed delay in Finder Preferences to the slowest), and there's also another inconvenient : I don't trust in copy (I want a one by one byte result), so I have to write what Get Info says BEFORE, and compare it after that with what Get Info says. In this case, I prefer to return to my old habits.
PPS : I observed, and I will tell it somewhere when possible, that *Get Info gives false informations*.
For example, I copied a folder with 58 items inside. Get Info didn't give me the same number of bytes for the copy as for the original. So, I did Get Info for *EACH of the 58 items*, wrote the results (in bytes) on a paper, and after adding *all the bytes of the copy*, found THE SAME NUMBER *as the total size of the original.* That's how I waste my time !
Good evening, hoping to read you somewhere soon.

Lightroom 5.4 jumps to second monitor when attempting to edit an image in Photoshop CS 6.

Hello,
I have a brand-new HP z620 with an Nvidia Quadro K 4000 display adapter and apparently a software and/or hardware conflict.
I am experiencing an issue with Lightroom 5.4 window not working correctly with my second, not primary, monitor. When Lightroom is working on the second monitor and I need to edit an image in Photoshop cs6, I want Lightroom stay where it is and Photoshop to open on my primary monitor. And this has worked well for me on my previous system which was also a Windows 7 64-bit machine with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570.
When I click the Lightroom option to "edit in Photoshop CS 6” The Lightroom window will move itself to the primary monitor for no apparent reason. This is the problem I am seeking to remedy.
No other external editing programs opened through LR behaves this way, such as NIK or OnOne Perfect Photo Suite, and I really need LR to stay on the second monitor on the extended desktop.
I’ve tried every monitor cabling setup I could think of to try and even unplugging the primary to make windows identify it as the 2 monitor in the screen resolution settings, but that does nothing for me. My new workstation is running the same OS version and a K4000. Monitors are currently connected to the display ports via dp to dvi adapters. I’ve already tried moving the connections around and plugging one into dvi, there doesn’t seem to be a setting I can change within windows or adobe to change this behavior.”
On a related note, I have similar instability in software made by X-rite that supports the use of a colorimeter allowing me to build profiles for monitors and evaluate colors precisely. During the profiling process I place the colorimeter in the designated place on the secondary monitor and direct the application to begin showing the colorimeter different colors on that monitor. At this point the colors jump to the primary monitor while the rest of the interface along with the colorimeter is a secondary monitor. I have a workaround that I'm using for this particular problem but I am fairly sure that the issue that causes the problem with Lightroom is also the source of my trouble here and I need to eliminate it.
thanks for your time,
Larry Garvey
