Error installing CS4 from downloaded .dmg file

I work for a company that receives upgrades from Adobe and most recently was given the downloadable CS4 upgrade from our IT department. When I went to open up the DesignPrem_CS4.dmg file it gives an error of "The following disk images failed to mount" reason "not recognized." Have you heard of this happening before?
We are currently running CS3 on Mac OS 10.5.6 which was installed from a CD. I've done some searching on this error, but the only thing I have found is that the file might be corrupt. We had IT download it again, but had the same issue. I've also tried to run the .dmg file through Disk Utility and tried to repair it without any success. Any thoughts on fixing this? Should we download directly to our Mac desktop? Could a file become corrupted by downloading to the Windows environment and then transferring over a network to the Mac?
Thanks

Hi Buko,
If it is a corrupt file, what steps can we take to insure that it doesn't happen again? Our IT department has downloaded it twice. Could it be the method or program in which they are downloading? What causes corrupt downloads?
Thanks

How to install leopard from a DMG file instead of DVD

How to install leopard from a DMG file instead of DVD, When i open this file, click restart, NOTHING happened!!!!!!

Use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to a blank partition, then use the Startup Disk preferences pane to reboot from that partition. Why not just install from the DVD, though?

My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep. Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI. I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column. Now it's just blank. Link to screenshot below:

Note the install date. That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it. Now I can't even do that. I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller. It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it? It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

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.
Palle

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.

If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto from a .dmg file ???

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto 9.4.2 to 9.4.3 on a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. When I run the iPhoto9.4.3Update.dmg file, I get the alert:
The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.
When I close the alert, it shuts down the update.
Since at our location our only option to get on the internet is via a 3G modem with a data cap of 5 GB per month, we take a laptop into the local library, hop on their wifi, and download dmg files for large upgrades like iPhoto (in this case, 766 MB). This has always worked before - what is different here?
Since we were near the end of our data month and still had a GB left, I then tried the software update route from the Apple menu on the Mac mini. It started downloading the 9.4.3 update which was only 177 MB. 2 hours later it had just finished the download and suddenly continued onto another download (still in the iPhoto upgrade) of a 1.2 GB file. So I aborted. So my 2nd question is what was happening here.
And my 3rd question is what to do next?

Evidently there was more than one update listed for your Mini. Next time launch the App Store app in your Applications folder and log in with the Apple ID used to purchase your Mini. Click on the Updates folder and look for available updates. There you can select one at a time for installation.
Look in the Download folder in your Home folder to see if the 9.4.3 update is there.

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.

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!

Disk Utility 10.4.3 writes Mac-only CDs from older .dmg files

I have various .dmg files of my CDs containing pictures from various trips. Last week I burned a new CD from a .dmg file from late May. The CD was not usable on Windows - no error messages, didn't show up with the CD name under D:, didn't pop the XP window asking what to do with a CD containing photos, nothing. Works fine on Mac. So far the only thing I've noticed is that Get Info says it's "Mac OS Extended (Journalled)" instead of "Mac OS Extended". Also, the .dmg file shows a modification date of last week, though I did not (intentionally!) modify it.
If I copy the folders to the desktop, put a new CD in the drive, and let Finder write the CD, it's fine - both Mac and Windows can read it, it's "Mac OX Extended" again, etc.
Is there a way to verify (or disprove) that the working CDs are multi-OS and the failing ones aren't? I haven't tried Toast, but I'm not sure it would tell me for sure.
Doug

There was never an answer, but 10.4.3 is no longer of great concern!

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?

How to create a Web Dynpro Project from Downloaded zip file?

Hi,
I have been working in Java Web Dynpro for last 1 month but not able
to create any Web Dynpro from Downloaded zip file?
Can anybody tell me how to create a Java Web Dynpro Project from
Donloaded zip code?
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You can add the existing zip file into your workspace by the following way -
First open the NWDS and create a new project by clicking file -> new -> Project -> Simple -> Project
and then File -> Import -> zipfile and then browse the zip file into the newly created project.
or else you can also unzip the zip file into a folder and then Use the option of Import an exisitng project into workspace. You can find this in the File-> import -> Existing project into workspace. and then use the Browse option to browse to the existing folder.
After importing the project you need to rebuild the project

Raju Bonagiri.
