External Drives, CDs & Disk Images Won't Mount

I am having some weird issues with my G5. I recently did a fresh install of Leopard on a brand new hard drive and everything was running smoothly. I copied a bunch of settings from another drive to keep my information intact on the new install and I didn't notice any issues. I have now started to notice that after about a day of leaving the G5 on, it no longer mounts disk images, CDs or external hard drives OR if it does in fact mount them, it takes FOREVER to do so. This also causes Disk Utility and System Profiler to crash or take a long time to start.
I don't know if this helps at all, but two new hardware additions to the machine were an internal bluetooth adapter (for use with the new Magic Mouse) and more memory. Both have been working correctly so I don't know that either is the cause of this problem.
I've tried a bunch of random things to see if I can get something to work again - fixing permissions, verifying disks, etc., but the only thing that really works is a restart. Everything stops working again about a day after the restart though.
Has anyone else encountered this sort of problem, and if so, do you have any suggestions for how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated!

So I think I may have something to show from Console regarding an external drive that took forever to attach:

Disk Image Won't Mount - Reason: Device Not Recognized

As I've searched the discussion forums, I've seen plenty of postings for "Disk Image Won't Mount" and for "Device Not Recognized" but not the way I'm seeing it on my laptop.
After a backup and restore, my mac will no longer mount any... and I mean any images. I have downloaded several security or software updates from different vendors and each .dmg file will not mount. I still have the .dmg files in hopes that after I get this problem solved, I'll be able to install them, but...
It always gives the same reason for not mounting and I'm at a loss on what to do next. I've run Software Update hoping it will be a quick fix, but have had no success.
Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. Using FireWire disk mode, I put a disk image of my entire iBook onto my iMac as a back-up. (For an unrelated problem, Apple told me I needed to erase my iBook completely and do a clean install of the system.) Well, I screwed something up. I don't know what exactly--maybe I didn't "put away" the device correctly, but the next day when I flipped on my iMac, the disk image of my iBook was just gone, and not to be found anywhere. I finally succeeded in restoring the image using TechTool, which scanned the entire volume of the iMac for directory information. And it's all there, because the img file is more than 10GB. But when I double-click on it, I get the following error msg: "The following disk images failed to mount...reason--not recognized." I've checked the app it's supposed to open with, permissions, and run Disk Utility volume repair. No dice. Any ideas??? Did I mention that this is EVERYTHING I had on my iBook???

Another OS 10.4.11 update problem - disk images won't mount?

Hi people,
Have never had to post on these boards as i've never suffered serious problems with my mac, until today.
Whilst installing/updating my powerbook to version 10.4.11 my mac seemed to crash so i rebooted my system. Probably not the best thing to do (i have little patience so was annoyed).
I'm guessing the update installed as my mac says it is now version 10.4.11 but when i go to mount any disk images it will not mount at all, but instead comes up with this message -
"The following disk image failed to mount
Reason - error 0xe00002c9"
I've verified and repaired the permissions on the startup drive in disk utility, and also verified the volumed and it says everything is ok in those departments. Although the option to repair the disk is not available for selection.
I've downloaded applejack, but obviously can't mount the image file.
Please help as this is a big problem with regards to my work and play!
Thanks for reading.

Hmm thank you for your time and effort on this problem BDAqua but unfortunately it still doesn't want to work! The 'DMG utility' program comes back with an error when trying to mount any of the disk images i have tried. I have been able to get up the script of what its doing in the 'console' application but that is ridiculously long, and i'd be lying if i said i have a single clue about what any of the script in it means!
So i'm guessing i'm gunna be archiving and re-installing. But this boads another question as i haven't a slightest clue about how to archive my files as i really don't want to lose any of it.
sorry BDAqua

I have a suggestion -- call someone you know who has access to high speed internet and ask him/her to download the combo dmg file, put it on a CD, and mail it to you in an envelope. If you are not too far from an Apple Store, they might let you bring a CD in to do the same.
Otherwise, you'll need to re-do the download again because it no doubt was corrupted by the power failure. The starting over might have worked except for the reason for the interruption being a power failure, which is hard to recover from.

Disk images won't mount

Hi,
I have installed Tiger 4.11 on my g4 dual and now .dmg files (driver updates and Camino) downloaded from Safari will mount.
Disk imager mounter does not work at all.
Disk utility gives following error: "Operation timed out"
Any idea whats going on? I need o update my drivers especially as audio quality is horrible.
The .dmgs will mount on my MacBook Pro 4.11 but I can't install over the network alas, these were downloaded by Camino - is the problem a Safari bug?
Help appreciated !

Hi Andrew,
I think it means part of you OS is messed up, I seen it a few times, almost always requires the last A&I step.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
Appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Ack! Disk Images Won't Mount!

As of a month ago, I have been totally unsuccessful with mounting disk images. No disk image I download will mount. As you can imagine, this is a frustrating issue! I am far from computer savvy, so any help is appreciated. One suggestion I received was to reinstall the mounting utility, what are the implications of that?
Either way I would really like to know what is going on and how I can fix this! Anybody?

Thing to do is either try to repair what you have, or replace part/all of the OS, let us know which waty you want to go, but first...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Disk Image won't mount after 10.4.9 upgrade

After I installed the latest update, OSX can't mount the disk images after download anymore! Any explanation folks? :^)
It doesen't necessarily have to do with the update of course, but it is quite likely I think? Grateful for any help!

Choose any .dmg and get info (command-i). Turn the disclosure triangle under "Open With". It should be "DiskImageMounter". If this is not the chosen application follow this path to choose it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
Then choose "Change all".
If that isn't it. You may be able to repair this with 10.4.9 PPC Combo Update.
This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Let us know.

Sorry about the length, but I thought someone might need it.
The eMac still mounts disk images with no problem.
I've never run VPC on this machine, so this isn't tied to the VPC disk mounting bug I've seen on the lists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas!

I solved the error by installing the OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update. This update was in a .dmg file, of course, but I mounted the disk image on my eMac and then copied the update to the iBook. Goes to show the advantage of having 2 machines in case one breaks.
HTH someone else.

LaCie external drive - one partition suddenly won't mount

I recently moved my itunes library over to my external 160gb harddrive - I put the itunes library on one of two partitions. After my computer froze up and I had to force it to restart, only the second partition shows up. In disk utility, the first partition is greyed. It will not mount, and when I attempted to repair it, I got a message saying "the underlying task reported failure on exit."
After reading post after post I'm starting to think I'm looking at a new harddrive. The data on the second (working) partition is very valuable to me, so I want to do something that will overhaul the whole drive. The missing partition contains music which is safely on my ipod, so I'm less concerned about that.
Any suggestions on how to either access the greyed partition or in setting up a new system would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
When a drive isn't unmounted prior to disconnecting or shutting down (as a forced shutdown will do) the drive's directory can become corrupted. The error message Disk Utility gave you indicates the directory on that partition is damaged. Disk Warrior can repair most types of directory damage with no data lost.

External Drive (OWC AL PRO) won't mount on on new iMac but mounts on my old macs HELP!

I have an OWP Mecury Elite AL PRO 4 TB external hard drive that mounts up on my friend's iMac (running snow leopard) and on my friend's macbook pro using firewire 800...
I just purchased a new iMac that came shipped with Lion. It will not mount up using firewire 800. My iMac doesn't have firewire 400 ports so I am unable to test it that way. Any suggestions? I called OWC and they had no solutions for me....

You've probably already tried this but have you checked this box in Finder Prefs?

Blank DVD disk image won't mount on desktop

A DVD or CD with data on it mounts fine, as well as a blank RW CD... However, when attempting to mount a blank DVD, it ejects after 10 seconds or so, regardless if I use a burn application or the Finder... The computer is over a year old and I have had no problems until less than a week ago... looking for reasons and fixes... Universally perplexed %?@*!!!

I see that the original post was an error on the posters part but I am still having the problem and I DO have a DVD burner the following is from system profiler

Any thoughts why it will load all pre recorded discs CD and DVD, burn CD's but not DVD's? Tried both dvd-r and dvd+r. I was able to burn to these in the past.
Thank You

Photoshop CS4 install disk image won't mount

Hi,
I just acquired Photoshop CS4, and after finishing downloading the instalation .dmg file, I tried opening it, and on two diferent computers it comes out as invalid. On my iMac, it gives out "invalid checksum" and on the MacBook, "codec overrrun". Fearing the file could have been corrupted during download, I downloaded again, but it renders exactly the same results. I cannot install CS4 and not find any reference to this problem. The file was downloaded using Adobe Downloader from the store, directly, and the other dmg files opened without problem. Only the Photoshop CS4 one doesn't open.
Does anyone have any clue on how to solve this problem? Any help is apreciated.
Jessica

Being in Brazil, I felt it would be easier and faster just to get the download than having to guess if customs would bill me or not for something that cannot be billed ( which is, software ). But I asked the support if they can privide me with the media, even if at an aditional cost.
BUT, yesterday I managed to solve the problem. Despite the fact it doesn't say anywhere on the manuals, and it have never damaged any of my downloads, there's something that doesn't go very well between Adobe Download Manager and my Netgear wireless router.
I disconected the router and hooked the iMac directly to my service provider, and the download worked fine. CS4 is now installed and working. So, in case your internet goes trough a wireless router, or any kind of home network device, and you're having this problem, my advice is to try to hook your computer directly to the modem and try again.
Thanks everyone for the help, it was really apreciated. Now I did some 4 backup disks from this, so I don't have this problem again

CDs, DVDs, disk images won't appear in Sidebar or on Desktop

Hello,
Brand new iMac 2.16, right out of the box.
CDs, DVDs, and Disk Images won't appear on the desktop or in the Sidebar. Nothing is shown over the horizontal gray line at the top of the sidebar, no Macintosh HD, Servers, etc. Disk Images are fully functional, ie Disk Utility recognizes and mounts them just fine.
I checked Mac Help and followed its instructions:
(1) In Finder preferences:Pane:General, all 'Show These Items on the Desktop' boxes are checked.
(2) In Finder preferences:Pane:Sidebar, I checked all boxes under "Show These Items in the Sidebar. BUT these changes are NOT retained. After I close the Preferences, the Sidebar does not change. If I re-open the Sidebar preferences, the relevant boxes are now unchecked, as if I'd never done a thing.
Restarting was the only way to fix the problem. Thereafter, the upper items in the Sidebar (Macintosh HD, external drives, iPod, CDs) sometimes SPONTANEOUSLY disappear. They still show up on the desktop, but tweaking the Sidebar preferences is again ineffective. Restarting is the only solution.
Thank you for your help,
Andy

Hi Andy, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
1] Everything elmac says is helpful and correct.
2] An upgrade to 10.4.8 with the 10.4.8 Combo from blue apple / Mac OS Updates might fix your hiccup. If you don't want .8 then .7 combo.
3] [OT] For some minor security issues, it is better to surf the internet in a standard account. If you are surfing in an admin account then here is how to switch and maintain prefs.
Set up a new account in System Preferences / Accounts / +
and make it have admin priviledges. Be sure to remember short name and password since you will be asked to "authenticate" when running in your standard account. This new account is often called "test" in these forums.
Once that is done convert your regular account to standard.
Good Luck, JP

Hard Drive and Disk Image not mounting

Hey everyone,
I'm running a G5 Dual 2Ghz. with OSX 10.5.8 I'm having problems with a back up hard drive. It is an external Western Digital My Book 1.5TB SATA drive. After using it for a few months, it suddenly did not mount anymore.
*1) It also would not appear in Disk Utility.*
a) Disk Warrior couldn't find the drive (I think because it's formatted with FAT32)
*2) I then took the drive out of the enclosure and put it in the spare bay in the G5.*
a) It didn't mount
b) It did show up in Disk Utility
c) In Disk Utility it wouldn't give me the option to Repair Disk Permissions or Repair Disk
d) In Disk Utility is says under Partition Scheme: Unformatted
e) In Disk Utility I don't have the option to mount/eject only gives me the "info" option
f) Tech Tool did find the drive and it passed all tests
g) Disk Warrior still did not find the drive
h) TestDisk finds the drive, but does not find any partitions
*3) I then created a disk image of the drive in Disk Utility onto an external hard drive. The image comes back at 320GB, which seems to be about right I think.*
a) The disk image would not mount with Disk Image Mounter. It would say there is an Unrecognized File System
b) In Disk Utility - I don't have the option to Repair Disk Permissions
c) In Disk Utility - When trying to Repair Disk - I get the error: Repairing Disk failed with error Unrecognized FileSystem
d) In Disk Utility - If I click Open - The Log file says:
+Attach Image+
Initializing...
Verifying...
Finishing...
+Image of "disk0.dmg" attached successfully+
+Mount of "disk0.dmg" succeeded+
-But it is no where to be found
e) Disk Warrior can not find the Disk Image
f) I took the new external drive with the Disk Image to 3 other mac computers but the image would not mount
*4. Other things I've tried when opening the Disk Image for the new external drive.*
a) in Terminal - hdiutil attach -nomount "volumes/untitled/disk0.dmg"
b) in Terminal - sudo hdiutil attach -nomount "volumes/untitled/disk0.dmg"
c) Deleting files System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches
ALL UNSUCCESSFUL
I'm running very low on ideas. I know I could just erase the drive and reformat it, but the files on it are very important and must be recovered.
Any help or suggestions would be very helpful. I will not have time until after the weekend to try more things. Thanks in advance if you do not hear back from me until after this weekend.

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.

Disk Images won't open after update to 10.4.10

After updating to 10.4.10 disk images (dmg-files) won't open any more. I get the error message "The following disk images failed to mount:.. Reason: Device not configured". This happens every time on every disk image. These same images mounted just fine before the update.
Any ideas?

what if the disk image is on an attached FireWire Drive?
there is no OS on that drive, so I can't repair permissions.
I have two disk images on it: one opens fine, the other I get "no mountable file systems"
It opened just fine a few weeks ago
