How to erase a dmg in Disk Utility

A few months back, I was trying to make a copy of an audio CD. I thought I could do this in Disk Utility so I "loaded" the CD in it. When I couldn't make a burnable copy, I just used iTunes to get the job done.
Now, when I go into Disk Utility, I see the dmg file that was created when I attempted my copy. I cannot get Disk Utility to allow me to erase it (and gain back about 0.5 GB of space)! I can click the dmg and mount the image in Disk Utility, but all the Erase options are grayed out. It also tells me that it's a read-only image.
Also, this dmg is only visible in Disk Utility. I cannot see it in the regular Finder. I even tried deleting the files (once I mounted it) but OS X is telling me that I don't have sufficient permissions. Get Info tells me I'm the owner the dmg and the files so I'm confused ...
Anyone have an easy method to get rid of this disk image?
Thanks!
Joe.

It appears that the disc image is actually MOUNTED. You may need to su to root, "umount" it then delete the file from the su session.
Try this:
1) If the root account is not currently enabled, launch the NetInfo Manager (from Applications > Utilities) then select Security > Enable Root User and set a root password.
2) Open a Terminal window
3) Type "su -" and enter the root password
4) Type "mount" and observe the list of mounted volumes. Look for one which references your cd image, like "/Volumes/Audio CD.dmg on /Volumes/MyMountpoint" (where MyMountpoint likely says something else)
5) Type "umount /Volumes/MyMountpoint" It should return nothing, just a new command prompt
6) Type "rm /Volumes/Audio CD.dmg" (you might need to enclose the path in quotes, because it contains a space, like rm "/Volumes/Audio CD.dmg", but my examples are all in quotes, and I'm not well-versed on quoting quotes.)
7) Type "exit" from the su session, then "exit" from Terminal.
That should permanently remove your file.
If you get any strange results, or would like to share the output of the "mount" statement, please send them.

BW

Erased free space in Disk Utility, and after it finished it kept a DMG there.

I erased free space in Disk Utility, and after it finished it kept a DMG there called "DeveloperDiskImage.dmg", why is it left behind? can it be deleted? how? if erasing free space is supposed to help get memory and remove all the files truly, it shouldnt be creating anything, it created a DMG at the start, but it went away, after a hour and a half it made the DeveloperDiskImage, i went to eat dinner and when i came back it was done but that was left.

Delete it. Erasing the free space isn't supposed to free up any space; it's there in case someone deleted a file insecurely when they meant to securely delete it.

Why i can't erase the hd in disk utility

i'm using os x lion and can't erase my hd using disk utility, what i need to do is create a bootcamp partition but the system won't let me unless i first erase my hd, recover using time machine and then try again the bootcamp partition, any help?
thx!

Your hard disk is probably fragmented. You have several options:
1. Use a 3rd party disk defragmenter like idfrag and defragment your drive (may or may not work)
2. Go to disk utility and repair the volume (works for some)
3. Do a complete reinstall (like you said)
I'm sorry, but I don't really know how to wipe it. Try some Google searches or take it to an apple store to get some proffesional help. You could always try the other two options though.
Good luck, sorry I can't help much,

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says "other" is taking up most of my storage but I don't know where to find "other". Please help!

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other". Please help!

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Clicked erase free space in disk utility, now I have no SPACE!

I ran erase free space in disk utility in hopes of freeing up more room on my hard drive, and had 34 GB free, but now it says zero kb available. I have never done this before. It still has twelve hours to go, and I was wondering if this was normal.

How do I get back my files from an erased hard drive? (disk utility)

Under the advice of another Mac user, I used the Disk Utility application to 'erase' and reformat my MacBook Pro to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' so that I could copy files that were on my MB to my hard drive and it erased everything on my hard drive.
I am now panicking. How do I get all my files, documents, videos and photos that were on my hard drive back? I saw that there was a 'restore' option iin Disk Utility but I have no idea what it is or how to use it... I reallly need some help!!!
Is there any way I can get my files back?
Thanks you

It won't help, but here is an explanation:
The Restore functions in Disk Utility (in Mac OS X 10.3 and later) let you create a clone of your disk. The system software can be replaced and therefore restored by a previously created disk image using this option. Normally, using disk images or Disk Utility's Restore functions will destroy data on a destination disk, by overwriting data from an original source disk.

Unable to secure erase: "Security Options" in Disk Utility greyed out.

Ancient eMac running Leopard. I have moved data to new Mac and am ready to erase old computer and sell/give away.
Went to "Erase" tab in Disk Utilities and both the "Volume Format" option and "Security Options" fields/buttons are greyed out and uneditable. According to instructions, to erase the data I need to select "Security Options" to proceed to erase all the data on my hard drive.
How do I "ungrey" that button? Is there a lock somewhere to unlock? Something to disable first?

You cannot erase the hard drive of the eMac when it is in use. You have to insert the Mac OS X install disk, boot up from there and then erase the disk from the Disk Utility software included.

How to Restore OS X in Disk Utility?

MacBook Air
OS X 10.9.1
Reinstall because of corrupted files on Macintosh HD
Not clear with next steps?
1. Do I install the top line disk image: disk1 or the indented startup disk: OS X Base System?
2. Once order is determined, I would select restore?
3. How do I determine the destination?
4. Then what?
I tried to follow a great discussion around this but lost my confidence. Thanks for the assist.
James

James,
Why do you think you have corrupted files and need to reinstall Mac OS X?
Where did you get those steps to do a reinstallation?
You do not reinstall Mac OS X 10.9.1 that way. Do do so you need to have the computer connected to the internet, restart while holding the Command and R keys. Then from the options displayed, choose Install Mac OS or it may say Reinstall Mac OS. That will then install the Mac OS X operating system.
If your goal is to erase the hard drive, you must first choose Disk Utility, and then Format or Erase Macintosh HD.
Then choose Install Mac OS.
You will have nothing on the hard drive after that except the operating system. You will have removed all applications and data.
So, is that your goal?

Can't find .dmg file Disk Utility shows is there

I've been trying to clean up/gain space on my G4-12" PowerBook. In Disk Utility it shows a .dmg file that when mounted is an audio CD I received from a friend a couple of years ago. I imported the songs from it at the time, ejected, and that was that. Now I see in Disk Utility that this dmg holds ±500mb of space, but I can't find it to delete it. This is quite strange and never happened before. Find, Spotlight, EasyFind (including looking for invisibles), etc. cannot locate it. In Disk utility it shows the path as /Volumes/<name>, implying it is mounted. Upon clicking 'Open' it mounts the <AudioCD> which then shows up in the left side of my Finder windows. I can open this volume, click on a song and it plays, so it is clear that it does exist and not just an artifact. I can eject the AudioCD and it disappears. But I can't get to the .dmg file to make it go away.
Any ideas on this are greatly appreciated as I've run out of paths to try....but I've not dipped into Terminal so would greatly prefer an alternative if it exists. Thanks in advance!

Have you done a Find/Search using just dmg, rather than a search for the file name?
To increase your HD's free space, look at these links.

"Erase Free Space" in disk utility, writes a large file?

While poking around in disk utility I came upon the 'Erase Free Space" function so I decided to try it out and see how it worked. I chose the medium security setting and let it run. After a while I stopped it because it was going quite slowly. Afterwards I noticed that about 25gb of previously free space was gone from my HD. Did it write a backup file?
I tried looking for a file but "find" in finder coldn't seem to locate any files written during that time period.
any direction to recoup the space is greatly appreciated.

OK, thanks guys.
Sometimes the simplest things...
Now if I were at the office working on something on a windoze machine a restart would be the first thing I would try, you have to restart twice a day even if the machine is working properly!
I however, rarely shut down my Mac. Unless there is a thunderstorm or I am going away, or I've performed an update, the machine stays on/sleeps.
Apparently as an "erase free space " is being performed the space is being used as zeroes are written. When I allowed it to complete the space returned. However; the space that was consumed during the aborted try was still not availible.
Only after a restart did the space become shown as being free.
This has been great since I now know of 2 more helper apps. Tinker Tool allows me to see hidden files and change other prefs not availible natively. OmniDiskSweep quickly check file on the HD.
Thanks for your help, and if there were votes still, I'd use them all!

How to back up Files on Disk Utility

My Mac Book Pro doesn't start. when I press the start button It chimes, apple logo, line loading and turns off. Once and again. I tried the Comand-option-P-R and nothing. Tried a lot of tricks I found online and nothing. Finally -And Im not sure how, I think it was the Comand-R opened the Disk Utility and could hit the repair the disk, It said that It couldn't repair -I have almost full capacity 499GB used- but cant remove files since I cant start the computer. Disk Utility told me to Back up Files and Restore -meaning it will wipe out the data, but i will have it on my back up- How do I back up using external hard drive. Thanks for any help.

You need to boot from your backup disk using:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Once booted from the backup drive then:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the now erased internal drive. Source means the external backup drive.
Once booted from the backup drive you need to partition and format the internal drive:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Error message when trying to create DMG with Disk Utility

Have a highly confidential folder on my drive, so am driving to convert to a DMG file, with password protection. It gets nearly done with the DMG process then generates Error - 49168.
Anyone know what means?
1.I choose read-write as my access options
2.Under encryption I choose the AES setting. It asks me to create a password and I create one (unchecking the "remember password option, of course")
3. It seems to get through 95% of the process, then produces that error message.

A little Googling suggests that Norton Anti-Virus can cause this problem by trying to scan the image as it's being created. The fix seems to be to turn off NAV while creating the image.
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest rebooting from the system disk and having Disk Utility repair the disk, to make sure all is in good working order.

Time Capsule full after a "Erase Free Space" using Disk Utility

Hello,
I am facing some issues related to my Time Capsule.
Reviewing my past, I had a lot of backups on this, using Time Machine and it always worked pretty well. But after deleting some backups manually to reclaim disk space, this was not exactly freeing it.
Searching in the forum here, I saw that I could mount the backup sparsebundle image and map it into the Disk Utility. This always worked greatly too both for disk checking and reclaiming the space back.
The problem starts on the last Friday when I performed the operation again, but it started using the whole free space that I had and did not give it back.
Studying the case I found that it creates a temporary folder to store the file it creates to write the byte 0 on the disk. This file actually resides in the sparsebundle image and therefore I can see the file with 200GB, for example, in the Finder, this is a split in bands (8MB) just like the backup is. After the disk gets full, the Disk Utility should delete the file properly and give me back the space safely.
Right now my Time Capsule has 0 byte free and I can't do anything on it beyond redo the the Erase Free Space operation. When I do it, it starts writing the temporary file again and the problem repeats itself.
I know that if I backup the data and really erase the disk, I'll get it back, but this is not an option for me because I want a smart solution for this.
The only thing that changed between when it worked and now is the 10.5.6 update that I made and I'd like that it's not the root of the issue.
Is there any suggestion or general stuff I could do to fix it?
Did anybody already face the same issue?
If anyone needs more details to help me out of this, just let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Eduardo

Just another thing to add, I'd like a good solution for this as the redo operation from Disk Utility takes around 2 days and then it just "dies".

MBP Freezes (have erased and installed, ran disk utility, and inc fan speed

Hi Guys, Any advice on this issue would be very much appreciated please.
Have had an original mbp for about 2 and a half years. Last few weeks it's been freezing between 1 and 5 times a day. By freezing I mean that the screen freezes and there's no cursor or keyboard fuctionality. Sound stops too. This happens using World of Warcraft, Pages, Office for Mac, and Safari, sometimes also the finder. Main culprit though is Safari and WoW. For comedy value, I'm a priest in WoW and it froze during a raid which resulted in the whole group wiping out! Great timing! lol
So far I have:
Ran disk utility, repaired permissions and verified disk.
Did a complete erase and install.
Downloaded Fan Control and set to 3400 base speed, left fan @ 3503 RPM and Right fan @ 3508 RPM - temp reads 46.9 oC (118 oF)
I'm guessing that since my erase and install, that it is very much a hardware issue as the problem has happened again.
Since I've done the fan thing, nothing has frozen so far but I only did it about an hour ago.
If anyone could offer any other suggestions in case it does freeze again I'd be very grateful indeed :0)
Oh - one thing I don't get is that only about 4 hours after my erase and install I did the disk utility once more (Repair permissions and verify) and it came up with the below list - which is huge given it was a fresh install. Not sure if the below info will help (not really sure what it's for tbh - but there it is.
Many thanks,
Vizzy

According to Mactracker, your Mac could recognize 3 GB of RAM:
http://www.mactracker.ca/
One thing to check is your RAM usage while playing WOW. I am not a gamer, so I don't know if you can play with your Dock visible, but if you can, here is an easy way to keep track of your RAM usage.
Go to Activity Monitor (in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder) and put it in the Dock. Then while in Activity Monitor, go to View (in the menu bar)>Dock Icon and select "Show Memory Usage".
You want to see a lot of green in the pie chart. If you don't, you are running out of RAM and then the computer turns to your hard drive to fulfill the functions of RAM. This process is much slower, and I could see it resulting in freezes. If you find that the green virtually disappears while gaming, you could well benefit from upping the RAM by another 1 GB to 3 GB total.
Good luck!
