I updated to Tiger 10.4.11 & cannot mount disk images &other problems.HELP!
I just updated to Tiger 10.4.11/combo update. I used the stand alone installer (because Software Update since I updated to 10.4.10delta). I repaired permissions before and after the update. Now I can't mount disk images I always get the message "Mount Failed".This occured when downloading and trying to open an existing disk image.I ran fsck, even tried AppleJack all to no avail.I know this problem wasn't there before the update as I downloaded the update and a couple of small utilities and all was well with the world (they all mounted properly). I was doing fine with OSX 10.4.9 but just had to upgrade! Can someone PLEASE HELP ME? I'M grateful for any suggestions and the forums have been good to me in the past.

Some part of the OS is messed up... I've heard that if you Deltas you must stick with those, if you do Combos you must stick with those, no idea if it's true, as I always use the bigger Combo Updates.
Most likely the best solution for both of you is an Archive & Install...

Then apply...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

Hi there,
I can see the volume in Time Machine, however, it cannot create the disk image or so it says. I had it up and running once, now after I have moved and replugged everything, it gives me this error message. any help out there?
Thanks.

Cannot open disk image created in Snow Leopard
I created an encrypted disk image in Snow Leopard. When I'm running Mavericks, it asks for the password, then the folder doesn't appear anywhere. Disk Utility shows it as mounted, but it is not visible in the Finder or in the sidebar as a mounted volume usually is. First Aid says all is OK.Unmount with Disk Utility, then it doesn't even ask for a password when reopening is attempted. Nothing happens. What's going on?

OK... I opened iDVD, found my project, and selected 'file', 'save as disk image'. The disk image was created (took almost 3 hours this way!). now, when i open disk utility, i can see the image there. i placed a blank DVD in the computer, selected the image in disk utility and clicked 'burn'. when i placed the burned DVD in my DVD player, it says it cannot read the disk! my understanding is that creating a disk image is the smart way to keep backup copies of my home made DVD's but if I can't burn playable replacement DVD's that obviously negates this option. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Advice above is 'spot on' : Do 'save as disk image'INSIDE iDVD. The disk image should be playable in anything which PLAYs DVD VIDEO_TS Folders: DVD Player, Mpegstreamclip, VLC.... I'm sure the only reason it took almost 3 hours this way is because iDVD Wasn't finished encoding/finalising the project....
W/O changes, subsequent Burns shd be as fast as any other DVD Burn (Altho, as I think was suggested, Burn at slow speed on slwo media is a very wise move.
CAVEAT: Burning using OTHER tools - from folder etc is not alway going to 'get everything' iDVD Changes, assets/work /temp files may be kept elsewhere.. etc etc.
INSIDE iDVD is the only safe way of 'getting it all.

Cannot create disk image in Disk Utility
I am trying to create a disk image of my macbook pro hard drive to an external firewire drive. The image starts, then I get an error that says "unable to create disk image: Input/Output Error"
I've verified both disks and permissions, but the image creation still fails. I've never had this happen before, and can't find anything about it. Any ideas?
Thanks,

You're a genius - THANK YOU!!!!
I just wanted to backup my HD before I upgraded to tiger again .. had my main HD go flakey on me and had to resort to my back up jaguar drive - You're a genius and this worked for me .. as I got the device busy message as well. I figured it was because I was on my start up drive, but didn't have the extra OS drive anymore to switch start up disks to do this.
Thanx so much for your answer!!!
Try this. Open disk utility and highlight your
MacintoshHD(the one you want to copy). In the
options inside the
window(FirstAid-Erase-RAID-Restore) choose restore.
For the source--The Top field--Drag the highlighted
MacintoshHD to the source field.
Destination Field--Drag the image of your lacie
drive(Thats also in the side bar below your
MacintoshHD) to the destination field. click
restore....

Cannot mount disk from a Sol8 system via nfs
Hi All
I have Sol10 up and running. I noticed that it was not very easy to mount a linux disk with nfs. I found out that I had to add -o vers=3. Now I would like to mount a disk from a Sol8 system
So far I only managed to get:mount sol8sys:/storage /mnt/sol8sys
nfs mount: sol8sys:/storage: Permission deniedThis gives me the impression something is not configured well on the Sol8 system.
Well here is some info about that $ exportfs
- /storage rw=serv1:serv2:sol10sys,ro=serv3 "Storage Array"
sol10sys represents the system I'm trying to mount on.......
Any suggestions why I cannot mount this disk ? or give me some hints on how to proceed solving this problem!
Thanks a lot
LuCaThe reverse resolution has to match exactly. Most machines are in DNS, so the reverse resolution will be a name, not an IP address. Therefore they won't match.
Also, how were you specifing the IP address? You can't just throw an IP address in an access list. From the share_nfs man page we can see that an access list contains:
hostname, netgroup, domain name suffix, or network. 'IP address' isn't a valid member.

Cannot delete disk image from timecapsule.
I have two disk image's on my time capsule and one is for a computer I no longer have. Therefore I wanted to delete the time-machine disk image. I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
In order to delete I have tried the following:
Mounting the time capsule and dragging to trash. Get a progress bar that says "deleting one file". It sits there over night and does not delete.
Going into Time Machine, navigating to the disk image file, right clicking, and selecting delete back-up. Asks if I sure and then does nothing.
Repeating the above with time machine turned off.
Disk Utility does not see the mounted drive.
Get Info on the drive says that I have no permissions and they are custom.
Tried some CHMOD commands I found on the internet and i got a series of error messages about CHMOD not possible.
If I double-click the disk image, I get a file not mountable error.
Time machine still works to back-up my current drive.
Any ideas????
Thanks,
TonyYosemite is problematic to say the least.
Delete backups was pretty much as you have done.. but Yosemite has the networking ability of tin cans and a broken string.
There are other ways around the issue..

Cannot open disk image Error-4960

In Disk Utility, cannot burn disk image to empty 4.7gb DVD
I am having some computer trouble, look at my previous posts if you are curious what is going on. Basically I can't access my computer unless I hold down Command + Option + P + R and select Disk Utility. I'm trying to back up some of my files on DVDs before I mess anything else up.
I have a disk image htat is 3.8 GB and i'm trying to burn it on a 4.7 GB disk and it says "The disc inserted does not have enough free space" Why? It's an empty DVDHi, just asking, are you trying to burn the DMG, or restore it to a DVD?

Cannot create disk image iDvd 7.1.2 (multiplex error)
I'm at my wits end and extremely disappointed.
Basically, I've gone through the threads that I can find, I'm down to importing a basic movie directly into iDvd. No menus. No options enabled (that I'm aware of).
When I go through the iDvd process of creating a disk image all goes smoothy until the very end when I get a multiplexor error (no error code or text saying why).
Extremely frustrating. This is on a new Macbook Pro running 10.7.2. I don't have problems with my other Apple systems, just this new one. Perhaps Apple would like to take it back??Hi
Multiplexing Error
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) -
one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

(Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.

Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
• Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
• No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
• No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
• On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

Cannot Burn Disk Image to DVD in Disk Utility!! Help

Cannot mount volume, security policy problem
ive never seen this before until today, but i can no longer access CDs or my USB thumbdrives through Nautilus by clicking on their respective icons. i get the following error dialog
i dont know much about dbus or hal, but the error dialog mentions those. what kind of other info, if any, would you guys need to help me solve something like this?I believe you need to add the respective user to the "storage" group. Give this a try: as root run
gpasswd -a USERNAME storage
restart udev or simply reboot. This fixed my problem. -
Can I boot up a Tiger Disk IMage HDD using my Macbook Pro (with Leopard)
Before my Ibook G4 crashed (tiger 10.4) I made a disk image using super duper. I purchased a Macbook Pro (leopard) and when I tried booting the disk Image I had made using superduper on a smart disk firewire drive, it would not recognize it.
I held the option key when booting but only the Mac drive on the Macbook pro showed up. Is that a bug/flaw with leopard that you can't even boot an external HD disk image made using Tiger?
I know the disk image is good because it boots on my G5 which has tiger installed.
Thanks for a reply..
SkipAllan Eckert and BCC99,
Thanks for the responses. I REALLY appreciate it becuase I usually spend a lot of time spinning my wheels trying to make something work that doesn't.
The reason I wanted to boot it was that my old IBOOK crashed and I wanted to boot up the old "clone" (not disk image - my poor choice of words) so that I could view some of my older emails that contained information that I wanted to view. I know I could do it on my G5 but I wasn't home and wanted to try my new Macbook.....
Thanks again...
