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!
Hal

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.

I cannot successfully download .dmg files including Firefox updates. I can do it on Safari. Why?

When I try to download .dmg files with firefox, I get a box that asks if I want to Open with [choose] or Save File. Not sure what if any application to use to open it. So I try to save it but it doesn't save the .dmg file. So I use Safari. When I click the download button (as I did to get Firefox 4.0 for the Mac) in Safari, it automatically starts to download and creates the image to drag the image into the application folder. Why can't my Firefox do this whereas Safari cannot? This happens on my desktop at home and at work, both Macs; both using Max 10.6.6.

Pandora may either not be available in the language or country you are using. This is likely the reason.
Or your iPhone may be restricted. Check Settings > General > Restrictions

Downloading .dmg files

I've Safari 4.0.3 and I cannot download any file that's a .dmg, because what I get is a dark grey window and a"slide" like the audio or video.
I've no problems using Firefox.
Any help is welcome.
Pedro

Same AGAIN!! Exact same problem. I thought it might have something to do with Ad blockers like Safari Adblock or Glimmerblocker - so I removed those completely, including the Input manager plugins, but it made no difference.
All other browsers download fine as before. This issue is serious. My install was an upgrade from 10.5.8.

Cannot open dmg files in mavericks

After installing Mavericks on my iMac I cannot open dmg-files. All that happens is that the system tells me "The following disk images couldn't be opened", with the reason "no mountable file systems".
Now, all I can find when discussing this issue is that "your download is corrupted" or "check your disk" or "reinstall Mavericks!". I have checked and rechecked the files, they are complete and should work. My disk is checked and I have reinstalled Mavericks but nothing happens.
It seems to be a fairly new/rare problem, I can't find any discussion on this problem elsewhere...

I'm having the same problem. I don't have any answers. But here's some information about what I'm seeing that might help someone sort this out.
I recently upgraded to Mavericks
Both newly downloaded dmg files and ones that were downloaded and sucessfully opened under a previous version of OS X cannot be opened now
I have two user accounts on the same machine. On one I can open dmgs without problem. On the other I get the error.
I'm using the same browser (chrome) on both accounts to download the same disk image, with different results.
Both accounts are admin accounts
I transferred the disk image that opened properly on my main account to the second account's ~/public/drop box folder and the second account could not open the image.

Cannot open DMG files

Hello. I cannot open DMG files. I have had the problem with a download of Adobe Photoshop and the Combo Update for Mac OS 10.4.10. I have re-downloaded both files.
(When I download, I am getting two separate files for each, one dmg, and one dmg.part, which the OS seems to think is a quicktime movie file. Is this normal? I don't remember.) Anyway, this is the error:
The following disk images failed to mount; name of file, not recognized.
I have tried most of the fixes found on the site, and none of them have worked for me. Here is a short run down of what I have tried:
Running Disk Permissions Repair
Restarting
Opening from Stuffit
Opening from Disk Utilities
Opening from Mount (downloaded from Internet)
I thought that I read that downloading the Combo Install would fix the problem with the Disk Mount, but I cannot open that either.
What should I do?
I appreciate any help!

I cannot open dmg files with Yosemite

So installed Yosemite. All seemed fine but
I now cannot open dmg files. If I double click on them, nothing happens. If I say open with "diskimagemounter" nothing happens. If I say open with Disk Utility it says wrong version of Disk Utility. If I move them back to a computer with Mavericks, they open fine. Repaired permissions and no change.
What do I do please?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Download and reinstall the 10.10.1 update.

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?

Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

Dear Portal Gurus,
Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
I am using the following KM service to download the content.

     rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);

                                             aResource = aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);

Thanks a lot in advance,

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.

HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?

Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
