I can't mount an image disk .dmg (error -4960)

Hi,
After move an image disk from the internal HD to an external HD (FW400), .dmg failed -> error -4960. If I move back, the .dmg failed. I've try to repair autorization, repair keychain, fsck... no success.
Thank for your help

Error message recieved when attempting to download update: Error indesign 8 LS16.dmg error -4960

I'm attempting to download and update for Indesign CS6 and recieve this error: error indesign 8 LS16.dmg error -4960. I clicked ok and the download continued to the *extracting -- this may take awhile. Well, that's been going on for 10 minutes now -- and I'm concerned that the download is locked up. My questions are:
What should I do about the error message?
How long should the extraction process take? Is it hung up? How long should I wait before aborting the download process?
How do I abort the download process, if that's what I need to do.
Suggestions and prayers appreciated.

I would probably kill the process.
From what I can tell, the best thing is to download again. From where were you getting the download?

Photoshop_12_1_ls1.dmg error -4960

HI There
I have used the adobe downloader to download CS5 trial version. Once completed it says extracting files and then an error log with "photoshop_12_1_ls1.dmg error -4960" appears. How do I get PS to install?
Thanks

Your download may have been interrupted, even if for a brief moment. Try downloading again without anything else happening in the background.

How can i mount dd-image

Hi All!
I've created dd-image of SOLARIS-partition (c0t0d0s2).
Could anybody tell me, how can i mount slices in created dd-image? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user2915199 on Oct 17, 2012 8:11 AM

Hi.
1. In case on this device was created just one slice on whole disk:
lofiadm -a <path_to_mage>
mount /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
2. In case was created more than 1 slices. You can use dd for copy every separeted slice to separete file
and create many lofi-devices.
dd if=<image> of=<slice_image> skip=<start cyl for this slice> count=<cyl_num> bs=<cyl_size>
In case you don't know original partition table for this disk, you can read
/usr/include/sys/vtoc.h
and try get reguired information with od

Help! Can't mount disc images or run Disc Utility!

Hey all,
Somethings gone wrong with my iMac, I've attempted to mount a disc image, and I receive the following error:
"The following disc images failed to mount. Reason: No such file or directory"
This now happens with every single .dmg file I try to mount. Even ones I know work because i've used them before. So I know for a fact that the file I've tried to mount isn't just been damaged.
It gets worse...
I tried to run Disc Utility to repair the problem and it won't open. Everytime I try I get the message "The application Disc Utility quit unexpectedly". I click re-open, and try again, but still nothing.
I don't know what to do, i've downloaded Disc Warrior, but couldn't install as I obviously can't mount dmg files.
Also, my Toast application won't open, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anyway, does anybody have any advice? It would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey guys, so I've acquired the DiskWarrior disc, rebuilt the drive, and I am still unable to mount dmg files.
Any further suggestions?

Can I mount .iso images directly into my file system ?

Hello,
I would like to install new Solaris releases as they are released, but I would rather not burn a set of 5 CDs for every new release just to update my system.
I heard there is an 'upgrade install' in the Solaris installer, that will try to preserve my existing system, while installing a new Solaris release. Is it working ?
I would like to download the .iso images, mount them during install, and use them like this to upgrade my system. Is it possible ?
Thank you,
Timothy Madden

Oh, I meant I have looked on the man pages and on docs.sun.com and I found both tools as you said. But I did not upgraded already, that's going to take a while.
First I need to make more room and I am still waiting answers on some other topic I started about physical disc slices.
Live Upgrade looks like a lot of work, there are many search results about it and I would simply go for mounting .iso images after booting the miniroot with GRUB and then starting the installer. I am not 100% sure I can start the installer without booting with a real CD-ROM, but I think it should work.

Mounting Sparse Image disk at boot

I had a look a threads treating this but still I am not satisfied.
I want my iPhoto image disk to mount automatically when I boot the iMAC or at least when I am login. For that I have added the target sparse image disk in the list of applications to launch at login of my user (in the user&account)
Once this is done and when I login again appears the disk utility but the disk does not mount automatically I have to do it myself (by pressing the mount button in the disk utility) which is not totally satisfactory to me.
Any clue how to make this mount totally invisible and automatic without passing through the disk utility?
thanks in advance,
regards

I am not sure to understand your remark. Are you controlling what is on the computers of comunity users before answering to the question?
To answer you: I use BitTorrentSync software to load movies I ripped onto my iPadMini without using iTunes which does not accept the format I used to rip my DVD.
Hope this answers.

Can't mount Seagate Thunderbolt disk

I have just gotten my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013) - the biggest model with 512GB harddrive.
I'm a professional photographer and I have been using a Seagate 3TB Backup Plus harddrive and a Seagate Thunderbolt bay. Previously I have used the setup on an iMac 2011 and it had worked perfectly.
So when I connect the drive on my new Macbook Pro it won't mount... if I use the USB3 bay instead it works fine, so it seems to be a Thunderbolt problem.
So any suggestions?
Kinda need to solve this pretty fast, so I can get my workstation going.
See the two attached images.

Here is the solution:

Upgraded to 10.4.9 on MBP 15", now, I can't mount external hard disk!

Hi all,
I have a LaCie 500GB drive that I've been using perfectly since I've gotten it, but alas, I upgraded to 10.4.9 and it no longer mounts either by it's USB interface or by its Firewire interface.
My machine is a MBP 15" (2.16 GHz, 2 GB Ram), which works perfectly in all other respects and is now running 10.4.9.
The symptoms are that when I plug it in, I usually get the message, "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with the options "Initialize...", "Ignore", and "Eject". So far, I haven't pressed any buttons except Ignore or Eject. Sometimes, I do not get this message, but it still doesn't mount, it just silently does nothing.
So, after pressing "Ignore", I've opened Disk Utility and had a look. The physical drive appears and there is one volume named "disk2s6" which for all purposes is probably my normal, logical volume (partition). However, last time it mounted on this machine, it was named "Archive". This logical volume is grey and will not mount no matter how many times I press the "Mount" button. It just does nothing.
OK, so, while I'm in Disk Utility, I ran Verify Disk and, after the normal routine, it comes back with "No Repairs Necessary". I've also tried "Repair Disk" and this comes back "No repairs were necessary", again after the full, normal processing of the various things.
I also performed a Fix Permissions on my startup-volume, but this didn't help either.
Next test was to mount the disk on my MacMini (PPC) instead, also running 10.4.9. It mounts perfectly and it properly comes up with the name "Archive" as expected.
I've then tried to mount other devices on my MBP including a USB memory key, and another external Firewire drive. These both mount perfectly on my MBP.
While I was at this, I've also tried new USB and Firewire cables, this didn't affect my results in the least.
I've finally verified that there is nothing in /Volumes out of the ordinary that might prevent it from mounting by doing a "sudo ls -la" whilst in /Volumes/. There's not a thing that would affect the mount-point.
I then disabled my folder actions that I've been running on the directory /Volumes *I had an action used to backup my USB key). Unfortunately, I still have the same issue.
Finally, I downloaded the Combo 10.4.9 installer, booted into Safe Mode (to trigger an automatic fsck), then rebooted and installed the 10.4.9 Combo installer, in case there was some weirdness in the Software Update upgrade to 10.4.9.
What stone have I left unturned? Why won't this drive mount, but it works perfectly elsewhere? I want to get back to using Aperture on my MBP and my entire photo Library is on this disk (well, and backed up on another external drive, but it lives normally on my MBP).
MBP 15" 2.16GHz + LaCie 500GB Ext Firewire drive Mac OS X (10.4)

Can't mount as a disk on another Mac (not mine)

I'd like to use my shuffle as a disk and transfer files from my machine to another Mac. This other Mac is an iMac G5 and had iTunes 6.0.2 with OS X.4.4. Everytime I plug in my shuffle, iTunes starts up tells me
The iPod "ShuffleName" is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those from this library?
I, of course, answer 'No' because I don't want to lose my songs or download any songs from this iMac. I just want to access the documents on the data portion of my shuffle. As soon as I click 'No' the shuffle is unmounted from the computer and I have no access to it.
How can I use the shuffle for data on a computer without linking it to an iTunes library?!?
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

but what if I want to get tunes from another mac on
my shuffle without removing all the tunes from my mac
(on the shuffle)?
Reading through one of MacAddict's issues I remember
seeing them say it can be done, but they didn't say
how. I assumed it would be simply plug and play, but
like the original poster said, it wants me to switch
links to the new iTunes.

i have the same problem... did you ever figure out how to fix it? i could use the help, thanks

Cleaned Open With menu, now can't mount images

I just cleaned up the "Open With" contextual menu using a Terminal command suggested in another thread. Now that menu is much shorter and everything is fine, except with some formats, which don't seem to have a default application. Not sure if it's an expected issue.
Specifically, when trying to open a sparsebundle image using the Finder, I got this message: "There is no default application specified to open the document "xyz.sparsebundle". What is the default app to open/mount sparsebundled images, and where to find it? I can still mount those images directly by using Disk Utility, but not in the Finder.
Maybe a restart would solve most of these missing default apps?
Message was edited by: rolandomerida

V.K., you've saved the day. Thank you!
This is what I did: First, I trashed a launch-something plist, following an Apple support document, listed in the same thread about clearing this contextual menu. I emptied the trash. As I couldn't see any result (maybe I should wait longer), I did the Terminal thing too. After a minute or so, it was done. Maybe it was that?
Anyway, it's solved now. Thanks again.

10.4.11 breaks .dmg mounting - now I get fsck errors.

I am having problems. About 75% of my .dmg files give me errors.
Many of these .dmg files have been working flawlessly on three computers since the 10.3 days... The others were created more recently (including two which were created using 10.4.11).
But on about 75% of my .dmg files I get this error when I try to open them:
"The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system. Are you sure you want to open this disk image?" and it has two options, "Open" and "Don't Open".
If I chose "Open" it mounts just fine and works just like it used to before 10.4.11. But I get this in my console:
"/sbin/fsck_hfs(/dev/disk2s2) failure for /Users/myUser/Desktop/imac/DiskImages/myDiskImage.dmg.
Dec 31 10:17:52 myComputerName diskimages-helper[1544]: user is overriding fsck failure for myDiskImage.dmg."
If I chose "Don't Open" I get a window that says "Warning. The following disk images failed to mount. Image: myDiskImage.dmg Reason: no mountable file systems" and it presents me with an "OK" button, and I get the same fsck failure message in my console.
This only happens with 10.4.11 and it is happening on two PPC computers and one Intel computer.
This is happening with all sorts of .dmg files, like I mentioned - some were even CREATED WITH 10.4.11!!!
Now - this all works OK if you just need to mount a disk interactively because you can just click "Open" and it works fine. But it completely breaks any scripts I have that mount images automatically (non interactively).
So I am quite frustrated about this...
10.4.11 should be quite mature considering it is the 11th update. I don't see how they could introduce problems like this in such a late update...

Hi John,
I've seen a few with the same symptom, but never the option to Open or Not!
I believe it's not so much a bug in 10.4.11 as it is with not doing Permission fixes before & after any update/upgrade... you end up with components from different versions and incompatabilities arise.
Use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, (never hurts to verify the HD first), reboot & try it again, if it doesn't work, then try reapplying the big Combo Updates...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If that doesn't work, looks like an Archive & Install with Permission Repairs along the way.

Can't Mount Internal Drive

I had a "blue screen" error earlier in the week. The internal HD passes all tests with no errors, but I cannot boot from it because it is not mounted. I can't mount it from Disk Utility because I cannot "Open disk image..." (the volume name is grayed out). I think it's a permission problem, but fix permissions does not correct it.

Disk is ~75% full - not an issue.
I don't have a Mac immediately available, but will when I get home.
Data is backed up except for a day or too, which I would like to recover if possible before erasing.
I went to the Genius Bar and they tried all of their tools without success. He did not try Target Disk Mode from another Mac, just worked from an external FireWire drive.
thx
