Failure mounting or repairing images (DMGs) after updating to 10.4.9

I used Disk Utility to create a compressed image of both my and a friend's "The Frozen Throne" (Warcraft 3 expansion, by Blizzard) cd. Although both CDs mount properly when inserted into my drive, the images created from them by Disk Utility (both before 10.4.9 and with 10.4.9) fail with:
| Verify and Repair disk “The Frozen Throne.dmg”
| Checking HFS volume.
| Checking Extents Overflow file.
| Checking Catalog file.
| Invalid extent entry
| Incorrect block count for file
| Checking Catalog hierarchy.
| Checking volume bitmap.
| Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
| Checking volume information.
| The volume The Frozen Throne needs to be repaired.
|
| Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
|
|
| 1 HFS volume checked
| 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
| 1 HFS volume checked
| 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
Which is not altogether surprising since checking the actual cd yields:
+ Verifying volume “The Frozen Throne”
+ Checking HFS volume.
+ Checking Extents Overflow file.
+ Checking Catalog file.
+ Invalid extent entry
+ Incorrect block count for file
+ Checking Catalog hierarchy.
+ Checking volume bitmap.
+ Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
+ Checking volume information.
+ The volume The Frozen Throne needs to be repaired.
+
+ Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
+
+
+ 1 HFS volume checked
+ Volume needs repair
I'm sure this has something to do with intentional fudging of the filesystem metadata by Blizzard for copy protection purposes. Regardless, I would like the system to be happy with the image. How do I repair it or create an image without fs errors?
Thanks,
Christian

Something went Horribly Wrong for a fair number of people who have USB drives and updated to 10.4.9--the drives just won't show up. For a few the Combo update worked, for others it looks like nothing is going to work except a fix from Apple, and we'll just have to wait for that.
Do you have an Airport base station? Several people have gotten their USB drives to work by plugging them into the base station. If you don't, and can't wait for a fix to appear, then you will have to do an archive and install, then update only as far as 10.4.8.

How to repair safari on iPad 2 from crashes after update to IOS8.1.2?

I just installed 10.4.10 and Safari started to crash.
Have you got SafariPlus installed? I had and 10.4.10 makes Safari with SafariPlus crash. BUT SafariPlus has been updated to a version for 10.4.10 - I downloaded it and it solves the problems.
All is now fine again!

Images offline after update??

Initially I had the error message about not being able to connect to the library after the update so I repaired the library ctr+opt then click repair. The images are back but are all showing as offline - is there a quick way to relocate them all??
Thanks

If your images are stored by by reference and they loose their connection to the master, select all the files and right click on them then select "Locate Referenced" files, this will allow you to point to them.

Image moves after updating

I have a document containing some scanned linked images in indesign. However when I see some errors in in them, I crop them in Photoshop. When these images get updated, they either increase in their size ( if I have autofit enabled), or change their position if I have autofit disabled. Is there a way so that the image stays in place after I crop them in Photoshop? I’m using indesign cs6

Pixel dimensions is the size, in pixels, of the image. Resolution is how large you wish to print those pixels by specifying how may will fill a defined space, ie. 300 pixels in the space of an inch. Resolution has nothing to do with number of pixels that the image contains. When you crop the image in Photoshop you are cutting off pixels and throwing them away -- changing the pixel dimensions for the image.
> By cropping I guess you’re saying to adjust the blue outer lines when autofit option is unchecked right? That merely hides the undesirable portion of image rather than actually cropping.
That's what I mean (except that I also mean you can move the image around inside the frame rather than adjusting the frame itself). There is no functional difference in your output if you crop in ID, and there are plenty of advantages, like the ability to reposition or show more of the image, and the size of the image doesn't change if you edit.

Desktop image changes after update or startup

Any one know why after a shut down and restart or after a system update half of my destop images change back to the default starview.. I have 8 separate desktops and the same ones always get knocke back to the default image. Then I go through the same process of customizing the desktop image and it sticks as long as I don't do a complete shutdown or updatge the system. And lately there's been a few updates.
Any insight would be helpful. While not a critical issue it's an annoying one for sure...
thanks

Hi Mende. Tried deleting the .plist in the library and after a few shutdowns got the same prblem happening again...Guess my Mac doesn't like my desktop pics...any other ideas?

Aperture "no image found" after updating to 3.1.3.

This has been posted elsewhere with 60 some views with no responses and on here with almost 50 views with no responses. I will try rewording my question:
I have Aperture 3.1.3 (updated recently). I opened it and have a library displayed in the browser.
The library resides on an external drive along with 5 or 6 other ones (arranged by year).
I can look at my photos but can't edit or work with them because of the "no image found" message.
I am having no luck in reconnecting masters and also can't see the other libraries in the list of Aperture Libraries. I copied the 2011 library to my hard disk, but still can't reconnect masters.
Help please.

I believe there are other threads which discuss this issue:

Unsupported Image Format after update

I support a fair number of Macs, and if someone tells me that one day the computer did something and then the next day would not and they didn't change a thing I would know they were wrong. Something changed but they don't know what changed.
I use Aperture 1.5.2. I installed the RAW updae for PPC. Great. Aperture opened the NEF files.
Next day it would not opwn NEF files, showing 'unsupported file format'. I swear So I reinstalled and the installer said it wasn't necessary.
I don't know where to even begin looking to resolve this. Any ideas?
Michael
too many to mention, really Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'd try and split the problem in half.
Will Preview.app open the NEF file in question? It uses the same RAW image support (as delivered in the update you applied) as Aperture.
If it won't, then there's something about the RAW update for PPC that has got broken/modified/disturbed.
If it will, then it's Aperture that is being awkward (is it the same NEF file? It has been said that sometimes an image needs to be reimported if support for it wasn't present at the time when it was previously added to Aperture's library.)
just a couple of ideas.

Lacie drive not mounting after updating to 10.4.8

Hi,
I have a 160gb Lacie d2 external hd, and after updating my OS to 10.4.8 in October, it will not mount. It's recognized in Disk Utility, but will not mount. I've tried repairing disk permissions from both my current OS and from the installer DVD, but it isn't helping and I keep getting the same message.
When I first updated to 10.4.8 in October, my computer had problems re-starting (it would get stuck at the blue boot-up screen), so I had to turn it off by holding the power button. Ever since then, the lacie drive won't mount.
Is there anything else I can do? I've thought about trying Disk Warrior, but if possible I'd like to save the $100 to buy it!
Any advice? I would really appreciate it.

What I think.
The major changes occurred in the 10.4 original Tiger release. Due to the nature of what I believe the problem is 10.4.7 would just be changing how, where and when the issue(s) become most noticeable to you and not solve it. It will leave you hangin' somewhere else. This I/O API does effect everything. I only wanted to finish a movie with iMovie and set some clips at 00:05 f as I have done forever. Bought a new MacBook Pro specifically for OS X.4 and iMovie and all that was over. iMovie as well as many other Universal apps are IMO mostly non functional except at the OS and QT interface. All other Universal apps and devices cause it to choke and sputter as things pass through this very same I/O API that is causing the external HD issues. As for the PB G4, I was believing the age of the machine to be causing these failures then I had noticed many others developing the same issues on newer G4 machines. Most puzzling was the performance hit on the machines with the proper HW especially larger Core Image supported graphics cards as 10.4 has made this a very relevant piece of HW now. The more I read about the how's and why's of the changes in the architecture of the OS in the Developer Connection the more I realized that many issues that seem so unrelated are indeed caused by the same area and or error in this API. iTunes, Safari, iMovie, iPhoto, -.. CPU's, Fans, HD's, jpegs choking G5's and intels-.. plug n play's that worked yesterday not today, same machines/HW new OS.
Photoshop CS and, an extremely resource greedy, 3D Modeling/database application running in Rosetta works fine. Animating 3D graphics on the fly without so much as a stutter everything calm and quiet. Open Safari and the comp gets too hot to handle the fans are screaming just displaying basic window graphics here at the Apple Discussion boards. Most times this is a text only forum for me as the MPB can't even process the window graphics, often the original posts push-pin graphic is the only one that will display.
AFAICT Rosetta is just an application with no graphic user interface and it is not Universal Binary therefore avoiding this I/O kit as it was designed for the specific configuration of the MacIntel only and works fine. Apple's iLife and iWork apps especially, as well as any SW using this I/O Kit API for Universal Binary apps don't work properly. Anyone with a later G4 and especially a G5 with a good, Core Image supported, graphics card should be feeling like they have a new machine, not saying "hey my stuff isn't working anymore" or slow imports of files or processing.
Personally I would:
Start up from 10.3 install discs, back up my docs to external HD and re-partition the internal HD. At least two, IMO three partitions (do not journal OS partitions) would be the least. Install 10.3.9 on one 10.4+ on the (an)other. Docs on the third. Keep the OS partitions as small as possible while allowing for OS's extra "operating space". 3.9 only requires about 2-5 GB's above required space to install while OS 10.4 seems to need 5-10 GB that is always "free" depending on what you are doing and also allowing for any OS and app. updates that may come before the next OS X release. 3.9 is already maxed so one can assume no new news here.
My G4's HD set up is 6 partitions as it is now mainly a slave hub between my MBP and my "legacy" products PB G3, serial devices, Zip drives, modems, SCSI devices, scanners, printers old apps/file formats. Apps and HW that are still useful but "max out" at a certain OS/comp configuration are installed on that OS's partition, i.e. QT w/MPEG-2, Virtual PC, or Photoshop plugins that were never developed or not worth the investment for OS X or the current release as they are not used often enough etc.
5GB-9.2.2, 10GB-10.2, 15GB- 10.3.9, 20GB-10.4.6, 15 GB Apps. 35GB docs. Nothing gets written to any OS partitions unless absolutely required. All OS's share the apps they can (except 9 apps) and document partition. As far as I understand I should be able to use XGrid to use these other computers processors through the MBP. A "super computer" kind of set up with the G4 at the least, but documentation indicates it should work on any OS X so possibly my G3 as well which stopped at 10.1.
You do not have to duplicate apps and I would install and update all through 3.9 even if you install them in the 10.4 Apps. folder. At most you may need to create a couple of folders in the OS's System Library for Application Support or plug-ins etc. If you fear one OS reading from the other's Library/System files you can unmount the other OS volumes but I have yet to see this happen without intentionally directing the OS to do so.
I would do all my external back ups and device communication (cameras, HD's MIDI's etc) booting in 10.3 only. For me the G4 booted in Target disk mode seems to be the safest way to access an "external HD" via FW with the MBP. I have had zero problems with this method. A two step process for files that don't reside on the G4 but I'd rather be safe than sorry and I have already lost one HD that was completely unrecoverable (a mechanical rebuild lead to the discovery of overwritten files with driver type data and damaged disk surface from arcing). Small files I just access on the external HD's through G4 over the airport network. I have not used Bonjour in depth yet though will most likely incorporate that into everyday use as I was able to quickly transfer a few very large files to a friends MacBook with it. Used this Just after realizing the MBP lacks IRDA and neither of us had any cables with us.
The above type of configuration would give you the ability to move forward with 10.4 and easily work around HW, SW and connectivity issues by booting into 10.3 when needed. This is a great way of trouble shooting OS and app issues. My MBP already has a partition waiting for Leopard. If the OS lacks something or has problems of it's own I can boot back into 10.4 quickly and easily. If all is well with Leopard 10.4 will definitely be removed. The G4 will never see Leopard except over a network.
Sorry to be long winded. Hope this gives you some reasonable ideas. In a nutshell. I believe the problem is that the OS and QT are set to higher, more accurate standards (ISO's MPEG's, SMTP's, IEEE's etc) than in the past and the I/O API is unable to communicate/calculate and transfer the information properly between devices and apps.
BTW when your LaCie appears to have given up the ghost and will not respond at all, before you toss the whole thing remove the HD and put it in a different enclosure. I have dealt with hundreds of these and the Firewire ports on the PC board become too hot and melt off. Repair is not possible and although this is a known issue with LaCie no attempts have been made to correct this and they will not sell you a service part to repair it. Replacement would require removal and replacement of two screws and two plugs. Most HD's I have removed are Western HD's and work fine in a new enclosure.

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

HELP ! Last To Sec . Updates causing problems-Won't mount any disk images

Just installed most current 2 updates Mac OS X v10.5.8 (Leopard) & now can't get my system to be able to mount any disk images of any kind. Internal expander gives me Mounting failed
Also tried to expand with Stuffit and got following message:
SecUpd2009-003.dmg no mountable file system.
SecUpd2009-004.dmg no mountable file system.
This first started with 2009-003 update and now 2009-004 it continues.
Also completely erased my backup external HD files.

If you did not repair permissions after updating, then try the following:
Try running +repair disk+ from your *software install DVD* and afterwards, run +repair permissions+ *from your HD.*

Adobe Standard 9.5.2 after update I get "Insufficient data for an image" error

After updating to Acrobat Standard and Readre 9.5.2, some (but not all) of my pdf files are now opening with the error "Insufficient data for an image." The files open, but they are fuzzy, pixelated and are missing the bates stamp I applied earlier (using a utility from LexisNexis Casemap). I can open the files fine on another computer with Acrobat Standard 9.5.1.
How can I uninstall the 9.5.2, or get it to work again?

Windows 7 64-bit with Samsung SSD on an i5 Lenovo laptop. Yes, I have both Acrobat Standard and Reader 9.5.2 on the machine. Both give the same error when opening the attached file.

Hi osieko,Can you share across any such sample pdf file? Also, what OS are you working upon?You have both Acrobat Standard 9.5.2 and Reader 9.5.2 installed on your machine. Right? One option that you can try is to repair your Acrobat/Reader from Programs in Control Panel and see if that resolves the issue.Otherwise kindly attach a screenshot of the error you are receiving along with any sample pdf file.

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what’s up with that?

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

HI Griff,
About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions Feature
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
From the last link: "Repair Disk Permissions often produces messages while it is running. These messages are generally of an informational nature and can usually be ignored. Some of these messages may be repeated every time Repair Disk Permissions is run as the receipt for the object in question is forcing the setting of specific permissions, even if no correction is required. Again, these can also be ignored. *Only messages indicating the failure of the Repair Disk Permissions process, or the inability to correct permissions on a specific file or folder, should be of concern."*
The more you educate yourself on the Mac OS X, the more confidence you will have in the system.
I just ran Disk Utility and have the same permissions as you. As long as you see this at the end...
Permissions Repair complete. You're fine.

Aperture 3.2.4 macbookpro lion: image disappears after loading from any project; repairing everything on starting app doesn't fix it. Only restarting the computer works. Any help, please? ... in non-technical language please. Thanks

“Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
“Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open. Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space. Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
Safe boot http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
1 It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
2 It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
3 In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
4 It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
5 It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
6 It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
7 Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
"loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
Did Aperture work before?
Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.

I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
I hope this helps you to understand more.
Thank you for trying to help me.

my webcam in my Dell Inspiron 3521 was working fine with Windows 8. After updating to Windows 8.1 the Webcam in my computer is gone and the 'Imaging devices' is missing in the Device Manager. how can I get the Webcam back?
thank you very much.

I don't see anything specific to your webcam issue but there are a number of Windows 8.1 related drivers listed on the Support site.

The Dell Update utility will recommend drivers that are needed specific to your model.
