Error 536870208 on mounting any .dmg

Hi
I have an old G3 which is running 10.3.4 for reasons to do with a USB modem which will not work with higher versions of OSX. This mac has been installed with OS only in the last few days after a HD initialisation.
I cannot open any .dmgs downloaded - eg MSN,Skype, Flash player because disk image mounter reports error 536870208
does anyone know why?
Thx

Hi Nick!
Exactly which model Mac G3 is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What type and size is the Hard Drive,.
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
What type of internal Optical Drive is installed?
Which version of OS, was pre-installed when maufactured?
If needed has a Firmware Update ever been installed?
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
Did you use a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs for installation?

  • Tiger doesn't mount any volume anymore... advance help needed.

    Last weekend I made a 'deep clean' to my laptop, migrating my files to an external hd, then formatting, installing Tiger again and moving my stuff back.
    I changed my startup disk several times in the process, using both ways, from System Preferences and pressing alt at start. At some point I couldn't see the external disks on my desktop anymore... So far I've made some attempts, in both accounts, mine and root user.
    - Disk Utility keeps crashing before opening.
    - In Terminal, diskutil verifyPermissions do nothing (my experience with unix commands is quite limited though)
    - Cocktail crashes everytime I try to choose the disk.
    - Software Update doesn't work, and can't mount any .dmg or CD or DVD either. I've tried to download an update from apple.com, but once downloaded nothing happens.
    - System profiler doesn't show info about my ATA devices.
    - TechTool Pro passes all tests (??).
    Still I can choose the startup disk by pressing alt when starting (so dvd drive and FireWire connections are fine, I guess).
    Using a LaCie as a startup disk my internal hard disk has all its permissions fine (DiskUtility & TechTool) or is not possible to read them (Cocktail)...
    The only solution is apparently to start again: external startup, migrating, formatting and installing again... Unless you guys have a better idea.
    Has anyone found this problem before? Is there any way to fix it?
    Sorry, I'm Spanish and my English is a bit rough sometimes
    Thanks in advance.
    Fernando.
    PowerBook G4, 1.25 GHz, 512MB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   + 2 external HD LaCie

    I reformated the computer - everything wenf fine then.

    Welcome first time poster!
    I presume you are talking about mounting the .dmg in Panther, as this is the Panther forum and you have a lot of OS's installed. OK.
    As that error is quite general, best apply a general remedy, which is the suggestion to run Repair Disk from your OS.
    To do this: Insert the Panther CD Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart; when you hear the chime hold down C key until the apple logo appears.
    This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
    Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to Installer and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
    Select the Panther start up drive, then follow the instructions in the First Aid pane where you can click on Repair Disk.
    If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
    After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.
    Once restarted normally run Repair Permissions. from the Disk Utility application found on your hard drive in Application/Utilities.
    See how that works.

  • I downloaded my CSDesignWebPremium and when I tried to mount the disk--an error message said "DesignWebPremium,_CS6_LS16.dmg" not recognized

    I downloaded my CSDesignWebPremium and when I tried to mount the disk--an error message said "DesignWebPremium,_CS6_LS16.dmg" not recognized
    (I am using a MAC 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 (16GB 1600 MHz DDR3) OSX 10.7.5)

    Squasha9 it would appear that the DMG you downloaded is corrupted.  Where did you download the installation files from?  You can download a copy of the installation files from Download CS6 products.

  • Try to mount a dmg file -- Input/Output error

    I have certainly searched thru postings, but I cannot quite find a solution.
    [1] An external FireWire drive holds a lot of dmg files of application installers.
    [2] Double-clicking some, not all, of them results in an Input/Output error.
    [3] Toast is always able to mount them.
    [4] When the error happens, an attempt to copy the dmg file onto the Desktop results in another error message "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "<name>.dmg" could not be read or written. (Error code -365)". At this point, clicking on OK brings up a Copy window which hangs. The only way out is to Force-Quit the FInder.
    What should I do to rectify these issues?

    I appreciate your suggestions.
    The external drive in question is OWC's Mercury Elite-AL Pro with FireWire 800 (2) and 400 (1) ports
    It was purchased in February, 2008. Its original connection was thru FireWire 800 to my G5 Tower.
    [1] Ports
          The G5 has only one FireWire 800 port, while the OWC enclosure has two.
          So, I used the other FireWire 800 port on the OWC.
          The same intermittent I/O error in mounting dmg files.
    [2] Cables 
          I tried another FireWire 800 cable with either of the two FireWire 800 ports on the OWC.
          The same intermittent I/O error in mounting dmg files.
          So, I switched the connection to FireWire 400 between my G5 and the OWC.
          No I/O errors after trying to mount numerous dmg files.
    [3] MacBook Pro
          I disconnected the OWC and connected it to a MacBook Pro's FireWire 800 port.
          No I/O errors after trying to mount numerous dmg files.
    From [1], [2], and [3] above, can I deduce that something is wrong with the FireWire 800 port on my G5 Tower? I thought that both FireWire 800 and 400 ports on the G5 Tower were controlled by the same chip.
    Please advise.

  • Help with two scripts - Mounting remote DMG and Checking which network I'm connected to

    Hey guys, I need some help with two separate scripts:
    1. The first script I'm trying to create to mount a DMG stored remotely on another Mac using an AppleScript or shell script. Using the following:
    set cmd to "hdiutil mount 'afp://username:[email protected]/Lion/Users/username/Desktop/Test.sparseim age'"
    do shell script cmd
    results in the following error:
    error "hdiutil: mount failed - not recognized" number 1
    I'm not very experienced regarding AppleScript or using hdiutil, could somebody point out what's wrong with my script?
    2. The second script I'm working on to try and essentially prevent the 'Could Not Find Server' Finder dialog when a network mount is unavailable. I guess what I'd like it to do is detect which network I'm connected to, and if I'm connected to the correct network, then mount the shares, otherwise just fail silently without any errors. From the searching I've done, using try statements should do this, but they do not, and I'm still presented with an error dialog after the server cannot be found.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on this script? Also, I've seen some tips regarding detecting which wireless network the Mac is connected to, which could work, but what about when connected via Ethernet?
    Thanks!

    Edit: I need to clarify on my first script request:
    I need to mount the DMG on the remote Mac, not on the Mac I'm running the script from.

  • I am not able to mount any type of disk.

    The issue started when I realised that my timemachine was no longer backing up. To start with it wasusing my NAS to store the backups, and after much playing around and reading of notes from otherpeople, I gave up. It was then that I also noticed that the day that timemachine stopped was also the
    day that my MAC Mini performed a system update ( 01-01-2014 ).
    I gave up on the NAS and tried a local USB drive. Disk Utilty could see the disk but could not mount it or format it. I tried many ways, including may formats from a Window$ 8 machine, which by the way was a fusion run VM on the very same MAC Mini??. Many nights later, I gave up, and forgot about TimeMachine for a while. Now, in March, I wanted to upgrade my version of Fusion. I downloaded the .dmg file from VMWare and that is when I got the error "no mountable file systems". Damm. I downloaded the file again. Same error. Strange. Then I tried mounting a .dmg that I had mounted before, same error.
    So, I tried the following.
    Disk Utility - same error
    command line - same error
    From Finder - same error
    Started in Safe Mode and tried the same - same error.
    I am all out of ideas. The only other thing that I can think of is to give up entirely, and re-format and
    start from scratch.
    Any help ??
    Cheers, Andrew.

    Having a look through the log, the only errors where in the chrome helper sections. I have included the disk utility section, but I am guessing that that is really not much good.
    Cheers,  Andrew,

  • Mkdir permissions error on a mounted disk image

    I'm trying to create an automatic backup of certain files to an encrypted dmg which will sync to Dropbox. I've followed the insructions at this link: http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/09/22/cryptocoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-wallet-backups/
    Rsync keeps failing because of a permission denied error with mkdir in my automator workflow. Running the rsync command in terminal returns the same error. However, manually copying files to my mounted image in finder does work. Can anyone help?

    I am having the same problem, using Safari 5.0.5 on Mac OS 10.6.7.
    I get error messages on newly downloaded .dmg files (not recognised, failed to mount).
    Please note, .dmg from Apple work fine.  However OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox and Skype .dmg will not open.  I have tried redownloading each about 10 times.
    I have made sure the default for opening these files is DiskImageMounter.  However I can't find DiskImageMounter or Installer anywhere on my MacBook 5.2.
    I have also repaired permissions several times using disc utility.
    The problem started when I changed the computer name (Home).  I have been using this second hand computer for a month no problem, but tried to change my dad's name to mine.  Since then, I can't open dmgs.  Also my Skype is giving me network settings errors but that's another issue.
    Any tips??

  • Cannot mount any firewire/USB external drive after software update 10.5.4

    After the last software update on 10.5.4 it did not complete the installation, and get stuck at the last step of running installation script for hours. So I have to restart the computer, and it restarted fine. Then I use Disk Utility to check my hard disk, and discovered some file system inconsistency error, so I repaired it (in target disk mode by another Mac). After it is repaired, the file system passed with no error.
    But ever since then, I cannot mount any external firewire drive or USB drive. I cannot use Time Machine to backup my disk. I think my firewire and USB ports are fine because I can restart my iMac in target mode and connect to my MacBook via firewire, so the hardwire ports are functional, except that it seems 10.5.4 cannot detect or mount any external drive after the failed software update.
    Does anyone encounter similar problem? How can I fix it? I have my disk backed up by TimeMachine but I cannot restore it if it won't let me mount my TimeMachine disk. Is there any other way other than completely reinstall 10.5 from scratch?

    first, you should try reinstalling 10.5.4. download the [combo update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054com boupdate.html] and run it. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can use full system restore from TM to go back to a time before the troubles started. to do that boot from the leopard install dvd, once past the language screen go to the Utilities menu at the top and choose "restore from backup".

  • Database command execution error. (While mounting a repository)

    Hello,
    I am trying to mount 'Customer Master' repository in Console
    But it is giving me the following error.
    'Database command execution error. A SQL statement failed to execute. The actual error may have been written to a log file.'
    Can any1 throw some light as to how do i solve this problem.
    And where to check this log file?
    Also i am able to mount any other repository without this error.
    Regards,
    Roshani

    Hi Roshni,
    It could be that the repository tables were not correctly created in the Oracle Database.
    Try restarting the oracle services ,also check the Oracle listener configurations are correct.
    If you have an archieve of this repository then try mounting the archieve with a different name.
    Also try restarting the MDM server.
    Hope It Helped
    Thanks & Regards

  • "Firmware","disk error","can't mount it": Is this the end?

    "Firmware","disk error","can't mount it": Is this the end? My iShuffle is DEAD?
    I think it's dead but as my last breath i will try to find any different solution before to bury it. Sorry for my English, I am Brazilian, but I will try do my best for you understand me. It’s me who needs help.
    I have an iShuffle 512MB (purchase OUT2005), a mini iPod 6GB (purchase SET2005) and a PC running Windows XP SP2 (ADM Athlon XP 2600, HD 120GB, 512MB RAM, 6 USB 2.0).
    My mini iPod 6GB (miP6) works correctly with iTunes 5 or 6, with its original factory software and settings and now with iPod update October 2005. I don’t know if everything started when I first connected them two at the same time but they were working fine in the beginning.
    One day my iShuffle, connected to my PC USB and transferring music from iTunes, , started to turn off and turn on, that is, iTunes showed it connected and then disconnected even I wasn’t touching it. When it came back in iTunes I started to try to transfer music to it and this time it came off, and then came back without that music I tried to transfer in. This situation didn’t go better even when I try to change my iPod to the other five USB ports, neither in my Notebook (PC WinXP SP2). I have reinstalled iPod with the original CD software, reinstalled iTunes and all the things I read at this forum. The situation was going worse until now, I don’t know why, I can’t use it anymore. The current situation, after all I did – and I will explain what was - is:
    1) When I connect it to a USB in my PC or Notebook, windows recognize it as a mass storage device and iTunes don’t start automatically.
    2) I go to windows explorer and there it is, “Drive E: removable disk”, but…
    3) But it looks like a Drive, with no disk in it. It’s a kind of a CD-ROM drive with NO CD inside it. This way, I can’t format it because I can’t format a drive, just a disk, even partition it.
    4) When I connect it to other PCs (winXP), with no iPod software installed, the systems first recognize it as Apple iPod and then as USB Mass Storage device, but the same way at my PC: OKB.
    5) When I try to run iPod Updater I receive most of the times this message: “Can’t mount it”. Some times it recognizes it as an iPod but I receive the message, during the restoring original software process, “Firmware update failure. Disk write error”, as you can see here: http://www.ivan.med.br/ishuffle.jpg.
    6) So, to try to use Updater, at this time, is out of question. If there is anyway to save it, I think it must be through other software or adjustment, I don’t know. I will show you a brief of what I have done until now:
    “Windows-try”
    - Current updater. Reinstalled old updater and run too. Reinstalled iTunes and all this stuff.
    - Changed USB connection and reinstall USB drives.
    - Installed iShuffle at another machine the same way described in iShuffle Manual.
    - Tried to format it using windows explorer format tool and other no-windows native tools.
    - Used partition magic and other tool to try to build anything in it.
    - Used Click Administrative Tools, double-clicked Computer Management, and then clicked Disk Management in the left pane. Nothing appeared. When I connect my miP6 it is there, and everything works fine. Just remember.
    - Used Windows tools (CMD tools) as DiskPart and MountVol. Nothing.
    “DOS-Try”
    - I used a bootable win98 formatted floppy disk, with USB ASPI support, and the system recognized the two USB devices I have connected that time: my Apple “DEAD” iShuffle and my Pendrive. But it could not assign a letter to iSuffle device, only for the pendrive. I’ve used DUSE software too and the same answer, even with an instruction INT13 that allow me to use Fdisk. But even Fdisk could not recognize the iPod as a Disk.
    So, this is my story. If anyone could understand it and know anything better than to bury it, send me your message, PLEASE. If you want to send me any software or tool you think can help me, my e-mail address

    Same problem in the US...after 1 week of use, hit the reverse button while playing and it stopped, never to resume. Tried the latest software updater for both the ipod and itunes, and received the Ipod Service and Can't Mount Errors. After multiple attempts, all I get is the updater screen stating Initializing.. Additionally, when I tried to reinstall, it stated that the ipod needed to be formatted, yet I received a message that the ipod couldn't communicate. Seems like too many people are having the same issue!

  • Install: Error Message from mount, invalid boot interface"

    Hi,
    I'm booting into installation from CD1, and after the configuration assistant screen, I select the CD as the boot device, then get the error screen:
    "Error Message from mount, invalid boot interface".
    I've tried re-burning a new CD, but get the same error.
    Any ideas to resolve this? Thanks in advance
    Solaris 9 x86 12/02. AMD Duron 1300, EIDE CD Drive / 40Gb internal HD

    Not up on my x86 here, and it has been a long time since I was installing from CD, but shouldn't your book device be the disk where you want the installation to go (in your case the presumable 2nd partition on your 40Gb disk).

  • Mounting a dmg in single user mode

    When ever I try to mount a .dmg in single user mode using "hdiutil mount /path/to/dmg" I get no errors but I can't actually access the mounted dmg, it never appears in /Volumes
    My question is how do you access a mounted dmg is single user mode

    I've run into similar difficulties. I don't know about 10.6, but in 10.5.8 the HDI driver appears to load fine. (You can check that with the kextstat utility.)
    In fact, my 10.5 Install CD uses hdik to create RAM disks early in startup. However, the same calls to hdik fail when I try them in single-user mode.

  • OFSAA CRM ERROR 16616 - Are there any list of errors for consult

    Hi gys
    OFSAA CRM ERROR 16616 - Are there any list of errors for consult about CRM ?
    regards
    Daniel Daniele

    @chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
    I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
    The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
    However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
    ...the other folders did copy okay though!
    It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
    @ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
    @alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
    Thanks for the help!
    (pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition  in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer
