Must use disk image with toast or I get coasters

I have four DVD-R 'coasters' behind me. When I went to burn 4X in Toast, I got verification errors each time. So I created a disc image from the Video_TS folder and that worked fine with Toast.
I don't have an inkling what is going on here. Any guesses?

By compatibility, I was not referring to compatibilty of the burned disk with various players. I was referring to the compatibility of Toast with the computer/operating system. I contend that Toast has become an unstable product in regard to the issue I raised. That may be argued, but please do not conflate this with another issue.
That being said, the advice of removing superfluous layout file and empty PAR folder that DVDSP writes to the Video_TS file is something I should try.
Perhaps it is germane to the issue at hand. Even if it is not, why chance things with regard to player compatibility?
However, my inclination is to export disk images from now on, so I probably won't give myself that chance.
****, I can't resist a control.
I will delete the above mentioned layout file and empty PAR folder from the Video_TS folder and report back if Toast chokes or not.
The Video_TS folder was written by DVDSP3 to a clean 20 GB partition on a clean 300 GB internal Seagate 'Barricuda' 7200 rpm Ultra ATA drive. The image file, also on this partition, was added later. It is outside the Video_TS folder.

Password Protected Folders (without using Disk Image)?

Hi All!
This is my first post on here and I'm in need of your help.
Basically, I need to add a password on to some folders but without using a disk image... So you literally click on the folder and it asks for a password in order to open - similar to when you add a password to a word doc.
Does anyone know how to do this, or if there is some kind of third party software which allows you to do this?
P.S. I'm currently running on Lion, however I do have a mac running on Mavericks too.
Thanks.
Matt

No. Not an OS X feature. What's your issue with using disk images? You can make them about any size you need, so they don't waste space.

Can't create disk image with Disk Utility

I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and i can no longer create disk images with Disk Utility in order to store encrypted data.
The operation fails and ends with the post :
Failed to create disk image, error:
hdiutil: create failed - Resource busy
I use three Macs with Mountain Lion, and this problem occurs only on one of the three.
I check the disk, repair permissions and did a reset of the PRAM. I even did a reinstall of Mountain Lion, without success.
But curiously, using a new user account, I was able to create a first disk image. But no one after.

Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

Creating a mp3 disk image with disk utility

Hi,
I'd like to create a mp3 disk image with disk utility. In the end I would like to have a mp3 disk that plays in various stero system and macs.
But I want to add some additional files: a png file for a nice folder background of the dmg, a special image for the dmg, and some text files relating to the mp3s.
Is this possible at all? Is there something I have to observe creating the dmg?
Thanx for your help

Is this possible at all? Is there something I have to observe creating the dmg?
You need to know which file systems your "various stereo systems" understand. The default file system created on a diskimage when burning is a hybrid file system- HFS+, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge.

Burn disk image with a pc

Hi, I would like to know, if it is possible to burn a idvd disk image with a pc.
(I want to get a macbook, and since I already own a pc with a dvd-burner I think it would be best to save the 200 $ and just get the cheapest model. I still want to be able to burn a few iDVD Projekts so the question is, what kind of format iDvD saves the images in - iso or some fancy mac format?)

When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors. But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported. Is this a bug in Mavericks?

When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors. But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.
This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks). So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports). So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks? Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format. Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Does anyone have a solution?
Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
Thanks guys,

I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs.
I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try.

How can I burn a disk image using disk utility with an external device?

I am trying to burn a disk image on DVD using disk utility in OS 10.3.9.
When I click the 'burn' button only the internal CD-writer appears allthough an external DVD-burner is connected via USB 2.0.
Does anybody have an idea how to make disk utility recognize the external device?

Try installing PatchBurn.

Open An Encrypted, Password Protected Saprsebundle Disk Image With iPhone?

Is it possible to open an encrypted, password protected sparsebundle disk image using an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch that is stored on a NAS drive connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station?
If so, how do I do it?
If not, would you be able to explain why not?
Thanks, Alex

Hi Robert,
> Once you through a sudo in there, you lose the option
to have a regular user
   That's not really true. Sudo is one of the most flexible commands around and not only can a regular user use it but they can use it without a password. Mind you I'm not suggesting that you make all users admins; you can specify both of these privileges for this command only. All you have to do is to put a line like the following in your /etc/sudoers file. (with sudo visudo of course)
ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/hdiutil create -encryption -certificate*-stdinpass -type SPARSE -fs "HFS+" -volname-size
I've included wildcards so that the cert file, volume name, size and image are arbitrary but the others must be in the user's command to qualify. I realize that you'll want different options to use FileVault certs but I don't know how to do that so I used your original example as my example.
   Of course it wouldn't be that easy for your lusers to get all of those options correct so the next thing you do is to wrap the command, with it's sudo preface, in a shell script that parses the cert file, volume name, size and image from the options the user passes to the script and puts those into the command with the right syntax. If you want to get really fancy, the script could prompt the user for any arguments that were omitted. Your lusers will think that you created this really cool command and never know that sudo was involved.

Encrypted disk image with recovery key

I am trying to create an encrypted disk image that can also be recovered with the use of a key. It is basically trying to do what FileVault does where you have a password to get in, but there is a Master password that can recover the image if you forget/lose your password. I have pieced the basic concepts together, but it isn't working. First I create the certificates that I believe I need with a keychain using the certtool command.
certtool y c k=SecureKey.keychain
certtool c k=~/Library/Keychains/SecureKey.keychain o= SecureKey.cer
I went with the RSA 1024 bit and SHA-1 stuff (that is the technically term for it).
After that, I tried creating the image. I am in the same directory that the SecureKey.cer file is in, so that shouldn't be an issue. Also if it can't find the certificate, it tells you that. Here is the command I used.
hdiutil create -encryption -certificate SecureKey.cer -stdinpass -type SPARSE -fs "HFS+" -volname TestVolName -size 20g TestImage
and that returned
hdiutil: create failed - error 0x8001184e
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I did wrong? Thanks.

Unable to create an encrypted disk image with Disk Utility

Hi:
With our upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago, we're now unable to create an encrypted disk image of any type using Disk Utility any more. This problem occurs on 3 different machines, and is reproducible whether one is using an internal HD or an external FW HD. We can successfully create nonencrypted disk images.
This is a duplicate post with all the details here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18469359#18469359
We haven't had any luck with a solution trying various permissions fixes as helpfully suggested by other readers in response to the error message # (-60008 error), so I'm hoping that someone else has run across a solution from the encrypted disk image perspective and that this tag line will generate some help.
Thank you!

Unable to create restore disk image with Disk Utility

I've tried three times in order to create a restore image of the users' volume of my Powerbook. I followed exactly the procedure explained typing "man asr" in a terminal window. I booted the Powerbook in target disk mode while connected to my iMac G5 from which Disk utility was run. Every time the disk image creation failed with a log report like this:
Creating Image HOME_HD.dmg

I don't know how my imported music could create such a problem to Disk utility, nevertheless I removed the incriminated song from the Music library but another one raised to be not accessible. Then I booted the powerbook from the supplied Tiger DVD too, and I got an error over the music file, something about an allocation that was 190 instead of 1, I got the volume repaired from Disk utility but the Disk image creation failed again without any hint because booting from DVD does not allow to save log file anywhere. Why on Earth I can't manage such a critical task as back up under Tiger while using Panther everything worked like a charm following the same procedure? Is anyone experiencing something similar?
Greetings
Gianmarco

Hi Lee, thank you for your answer, indeed I've just read carefully your article few hours ago, while I googled the net to find some hints on my issue. I think that I've followed exactly the right procedure to make the back up image, and can't find what is wrong. Actually Disk utility Repair disk successfully repaired the allocation bit (whatever that means) of the music files but that wasn't enough to let the creation of the disk image. Quite odd that the music files where recognized as messed up by Disk utility only booting from Tiger DVD and not while the Powerbook was connected to an iMac running Tiger too.
I'll do further investigation during weekend.
Greetings

Using disk images for learning games?

Hello, I've 2 g3 imacs running 9.2.2, and they are for the grandkids to use learning games on.
The kids are very hard on the software disks. When I found out about disk images I made them up, now to install them properly. The games are installed, but where to store the disk images? The desk top icons for the games will work after the disk images have been double clicked and the mounted disk image appears on the desktop, but when the imacs are turned off the mounted disk image is lost. How or where does one put the disk images in a safe place so the kids don't get at them, and the disks are mounted every time, without actually starting, when the Mac is started? Start up menu?
I'm planning on multiple accounts with them having a standard account with game privileges so they don't mess the whole thing up. If their accounts get too messed up for me to repair I figured on maybe deleting the account and opening up a new one? Any Ideas are very welcome.
Thank you,
EZ

Hi, EZ -
You're quite welcome.
I had a thought with regard to the disk image files. Are they in a .smi format, or are they in a .img format?
The .img format requires the assistance of the Disk Copy utility in order to mount the image. This is the standard format generated by the user version of Disk Copy. It requires that Disk Copy be available to Finder to act as a helper app in order to mount the image.
The .smi format does not - .smi stands for Self-Mounting Image. The user version of Disk Copy can not make this format; but I have seen a utility to convert .img format to .smi format. The slight advantage with this format is that Disk Copy does not need to be available to Finder.
In both cases the default is to run a checksum verification before the image is finally mounted. The delay caused by this verification can be inconvenient - verification is intended to confirm the integrity of the image after it has been copied, transported, or downloaded, but is usually not necessary when the image resides on a hard drive.
The checksum verification for .img file types can be removed. With the image not mounted, open Disk Copy. In Disk Copy's Preferences (Edit menu), uncheck the Verify Checksum item. Save the Preferences window. Then select Convert Image from the Image menu, navigate to the disk imge file from which you want to remove the verifiaction, select it and click the Open button. A new window will appear, similar to a Save As type window. Leave everything in that window untouched (unless you want to change the base name of the file - the extension .img should be left intact) and click the Save button. The image will be mounted, the original disk image file will be deleted, and a new disk image file created. Unfortunately creating the new image file takes quite a while since it is creating a new one, not actually modifying the old one - but it does get rid of the intrusion of the checksum verification requirement.
I verified on my G4/500 running OS 9.1 that a .img file (one I had made from a game CD years ago) dropped into the Startup Items folder will be mounted automatically at the end of the startup sequence. I also tested with an alias to the .img file, and it, too, worked fine - the disk image was mounted automatically at the conclusion of the startup sequence.
When you make the alias to the disk image file (the .img one), be sure you are placing it into the Startup Items folder, and not the Startup Items (disabled) folder.
If you have the machine set to use Simple Finder (which removes Finder's keyboard commands and many menu options for Finder), that may interfere with items in the Startup Items folder being run at startup. Or, it may not - I have not checked that.
*** Edit ***
I have verified that the alias to a .img file will mount the disk image even when the machine is booted using Simple Finder.
Another thought, related to Multiple Users - if you do decide to set up Multiple Users, and the disk images are of type .img, be sure to authorize Disk Copy for each of the accounts for which the disk images are to be mounted. If you have the disk image files in a .smi format, since Finder views that file type as being an application, you would need to authorize each of those disk image files for each account which is to have access to them.

Using RAW images with CS6

Hi - im not sure if there is another forum that answers this question.
So far the only way I have been able to open up a RAW image in photoshop which then automatically launches camera RAW is by going to finder > iphoto > open package contents - to find the original file. Ive been told that can possible damage/corrupt yout image library. Is there another safe way to deal with RAW images? Right now iPhoto will open a raw image with photoshop the problem is it throws it over into PS and claims its a JPEG.
Maybe im just not as educated as I need to be with the Apple software.
Thanks in advance!
J

Set ACR as your preferred editor in iPhoto
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> Advanced -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor.
Then check the box underneath 'Use Raw when using external editor'
Now your Raw will be sent there.
But getting it back is a bit of a kludge
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.
