New Image from Disk

is there a way to select a disk and have automator create a disk image from it....kinda like disk utility does without having to use disk utility.

To follow up on this post, I know at least part of the answer. The difference between the two becomes clearer if you read the documentation (man pages) for hdiutil and asr. Image 1 will be created in file mode, whereas image 2 will be in block mode, ie bypassing the file system. Image 1 will consist of a series of files, whereas image 2 will contain a series of blocks, mirroring the original layout of the hard disk.
Technically the latter should be faster to restore (in block mode), although Apple recommend the first procedure (see man page for hdiutil). I haven't seen any evidence that images created in block mode can be mounted or restored, although you might be able to burn such images to a optical disks if applicable.
As I've pointed out in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1508199&tstart=0) I believe that this functionality should not be offered in disk utility, and I consider it a serious bug.

Can Disk Utility make a "New Image" from a desktop copy of a DVD?

I have not been able to get Disk Utility to make "new images" of a couple of DVDs. For one of the DVDs, it may have something to do with a hyphen in the title. I haven't a clue why I'm failing with the second of the two DVDs. (Previously, I've had no trouble with about a dozen DVDs so far.)
Several members of this discussion group recommended me to copy&paste or drag&drop the files from a DVD to a new folder (say on the desktop), and then to drag the resulting new folder into the box in Disk Utility, and then to make a disk image using Disk Utility.
(Note: While I believe the original DVDs are not encrypted, I ran an experiment to make double sure, by using MacTheRipper first to produce folders containing clean files.)
However, when I drag the new folder into the box in Disk Utility, and let go of the mouse button, then the folder does not stay in Disk Utility window, but instead springs back to the desktop.
How can I get Disk Utility to make new images from the new desktop folders?
Note:
As a partially successsful work around:
For one of the two original DVDs - which has only about 3.7GB on it - I can sometimes (only sometimes) succeed in doing without Disk Utility simply by dragging the audio and video files from the new desktop folder onto a blank DVD, and then burning that DVD. However, in an average of about two out of every three attempts so far, my Mac rejects the new disk as unusable during the burn process.
For the other original DVD - which has about 4.36GB on it - the contents of the new desktop folder won't fit onto a blank DVD. It then gets messy - shrinking the files - so I'd like to avoid all of that by getting DIsk Utility to work properly.

For the answer, see the following excerpt from my own posting dated 2 May 2006, i.e.:
"I finally found out for myself (from Disk Utility Help) that to make a new image from a file/folder, rather than dragging the folder to the Disk Utility pane, in the top menu bar in Disk Utility you select Images/New/Image from Folder."

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

How can I download automatically only new images from my camera?

Hello,
I can not download only new images from my EOS 450D-camera with Elements 10-Photodownloafer (Mac os).
Each time I use Photodownloader it downloads all images , also those that were downloaded preveously
How can I set photodownloader?
Thanks for your advices

I share my card with my wife and she likes to download our images also on her PC, so erasing all images is not an option.
It seems that earlier version of adobe photo downloader has the feature "copy only new files" , but V10 does not.
Thanks for your answer

Don’t you format the card in the camera after each download? That will wipe all images and prepare the card for a fresh shoot.

What is the FASTEST way to present an image from disk?

I am currently using the standard read *jpeg file to display an image from disk to a picture control. My question is what is the most efficient method of getting an image ot the front panel, whether it is with this control, IMAQ, etc. At the end of the day, timing is crucial, and I would like to sync a trigger with the onset of an image.
Thanks in advance.

FASTEST will be imaq, and both the intensity graph and the picture
control will be a bit slower since they are both better suited to other
tasks.
First, if you only have a small number of jpegs, you might preload them.
You could even go so far as to draw them to a hidden picture control
and simply show it when your event occurs.
The differences here are roughly that IMAQ will already have the image
data
placed into their image and will simply need to draw it, similar to
showing a LV control. The picture control data is a flattened version
of the image that needs to be interpreted somewhat and placed into a
system image, then drawn. The intensity graph assumes that is is false
coloring an intensity map and is zooming or stretching the data as well.
Therefore it also constructs a bitmap from the data and takes a bit
longer to do it as it decimates and stretches the data as necessary.

Dynamic images from disk in AIR on Linux

I have a relatively simple AIR application that pulls image
paths from a database and then attempts to display that image by
setting the src="" attribute of an <mx:Image /> tag. On my
Windows development machine this all works swimmingly, however,
when transferring the application to Linux, the images only display
as the "broken image" icon, as though they can't be read from disk.
I've definitely verified that the images are where they're
supposed to be, and that the files are not corrupted. I've used
.nativePath to avoid problems with the file system differences. To
wit, here's the relevant code:
private var resourceRootPath:String =
File.userDirectory.nativePath;
[Bindable] private var imgPath = resourceRootPath +
File.separator + Object.graphic // where Object.graphic is the file
name pulled from a DB, as a parameter of an object the app uses
repeatedly. It exists as a string that represents the file name,
such as "graphic.jpg"
<mx:Image id="currentSlideDisplay" source="{imgPath}"
/>
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
EDIT: I forgot to mention, this is RedHat Fedora 6 I'm
working with.

I'd be suspicious of using nativePath since Image is
expecting a URL. Should be easy to check anyway.

Disk Utility Image from Disk (whole disk) Error -39...

Hi - I've been trying to make a compressed/encrypted image of my primary hard drive without success. Using Disk Utility so I can have an image I can mount to retrieve files off an external HD when necessary. Booting from external firewire drive (partition 1), and attempting to clone/backup image from Primary internal boot drive to external firewire drive (partition 2). Have also tried the following: setting the save-to location to the second internal hard drive; doing it uncompressed / unencrypted. I have run Repair, Permissions, Disk Warrior and no issues with the file system/drive I'm trying to image.
The only references I've seen to error 39 is End of File (EoF) corruption or error. Since the drive/files check-out, Disk Utility must be creating an error somehow. It always happens when the backup is totally complete, and appears it's finishing up the file.
Any thoughts? Thank you!!

I'm having the same problem on a Power Mac G4 with OS 10.4.6 using disk utility.
I've tried this on a 400gig seagate in a raid array
on a 120 gig seagate
from the raid array to the 120 gig
from a 120 gig to a second 120 gig
from the disk and it crashed and sent an error message to apple
I have plenty of space
I've seen this on the discussion forums so I know others are having this problem.
I'm writing to you pro's in hopes that you may have some suggestions.
I'm just trying to create backup images of my primary hard drive.
I've been in the Mac family since the early 80's... I've found other mac users to be very helpful:)
An ideas??

Canceled making a new image in Disk Utility, lost hard drive space

Hi,
I was creating a new image (12 gigs) and during the process of creating it, the bar was no longer moving (for over an hour) so i canceled the process (it got a about 1/4 of the way through). But now it seems I missing about 3 gigs of space on my hard drive. It seems when it got canceled, it didnt remove it all the way. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

I restarted the computer, and it did not change. I ran all the terminal commands on that website, but nothing fishy came up. After i ran the disk usage command (sudo du -cxhd 1 /) it totalled up to 51 gigs of data. I have an 80 gig HD (79.68gigs) which should leave 29 gigs available. Finder says i have 24.17 gigs available, so I am missing some. maybe this is virtual memory being used? It seems like it happened after the image though. Thanks

Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new image from two existing ones--ie, in a new jpg? I essentially want to create a collage that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome!

The main point is that Aperture is used to make digital negatives as good as they can be (for the uses you define), but it does not ADD date to your digital negatives, nor does it produce NEW combination files. For those tasks you need a Graphics program.

Image Date error on importing TIFF images from Disk

I have thousands of high quality (~100 Mb each) images in 20 folders on a 1 Tb hard drive. I have been using Bridge to manage the images, adding some metadata such as keywords and copyright data. I am considering importing all these images into Aperture and using it as the primary image management tool.
But I am concerned about an apparent bug in the way Aperture handles the "image date and time".
In Bridge (and GraphicConverter), the "image date" field is correct, directly from my CFV digital back on the camera and inline with the time of day the shot was taken (e.g. sunrise image at 6am). When I import the image into Aperture, the time gets shifted by 14 hours.
For example, an image in Bridge that correctly shows Date Created as 10/05/2009 7:36am gets distorted to 10/05/2009 9:36pm, exactly 14 hours later than the correct time. It was taken at 7:30 in the morning but, in Aperture, looks like it was taken in the late evening. It does not look like a time zone issue as the image was taken in the same time zone as my Mac Pro is set to.
I have tried deleting the masters and re-importing them with GMT +2 and GMT -12 in the two time zone adjustment fields. This gets the right time into the Image Date field but then the image has the wrong time zone data in the "Camera Time Zone" and "Picture Time Zone" fields.
I have tried running MetaData > Update Date and Time (with Master files ON) but it comes back with an error "no master files were adjusted ... because they have a format that does not permit modification".
I have tried running MetaData > Update Date and Time (with Master files OFF). It appears to work but I assume that the underlying file in the Aperture library still has the incorrect time.
Have others faced this problem? Is there a solution? Is it a known bug that Apple might fix one day?
Regards
Peter

I am seeing a very similar problem when importing TIFF files back to Aperture.
This is what I do and what I see:
1. I import RAW images from my camera into Aperture. They show the correct date and time.
2. I open an RAW image in Photoshop (CS4) directly from the finder. The image inside Photoshop (file/info) shows the correct date and time.
3. After editing I save my image as 16bit TIFF and it still shows correct date and time.
4. I import the new TIFF back into Aperture. The time is shifted back 15 hrs!
I can then go in and Metadata/Update Date and Time (no masters) and it works well, but it is a pain to do on each image I process.
In all cases camera and image timezone is set to US Pacific as it should be.
To me this seems like Aperture is somehow miss-interpreting the timezone when reimporting TIFFs.
I have not tried importing JPEGs or PSDs back but I will and will report back...

Selected color profile for new images from "clipboard" is wrong in CS6

I have given up trying to find the answer to this myself.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Take a screenshot of something in your web browser (macintosh CMD+SHIFT+4) to the clipboard.
2. Select File > New from the menu. Clipboard should be the selected Preset.
3. Notice how in CS6 the color profile under "Advanced" is "Display" and NOT "sRGB" — in CS5 it is sRGB.
4. Paste from the clipboard into your new document and get the color profile mis-match warning if you are in CS6.
It is either not picking the color space of the clipboard properly like it will in CS5, or I am missing something somewhere.
Nothing I do in an attempt to fix this is working. I have sRGB set as my default profile in color settings, and nothing I do changes this setting for the "Clipboard" preset.
I am getting sick of forgetting to manually select "sRGB" every time, opening up a new document sized to my clipboard and then getting the color profle mismatch warning when I paste in the clipboard contents!
I take so many screenshots as I develop websites this is a CONSTANT problem as I am constantly creating new documents from the clipboard to check alignments, zoom in to get color samples, and many other reasons.
Message was edited by: DrunkCyclist

That helps a little. It explains why "Display" is selected when I create a new from the clipboard in PS.
The ColorSync profile from a screenshot opened in the Preview App shows up as "Color LCD" in the inspector.
So, I assume what is happening in PS is that the new document is being created in the working color space and my clipboard contents don't match that and therefore causes the warning?
I could see getting a warning if I create a new document from the clipboard in PS and it embeds the "Display" profile within it, and then I try and paste something which has an sRGB (or other) embedded profile, but I was assuming the new document from the clipboard contents would have the same color profile as the clipboard contents.
I just don't get why I get a warning when I create the new document and the very first thing I try and do is paste the clipboard contents into said document.
However, when I select "sRGB" from the dropdown list instead of "Display" in the PS dialogue box it does not give me the mismatch warning.
Although the warning does say my source and destination document are both using the "Display" profile but my working space is sRGB.
The more I think about it, I may have just checked the "Don't show again" box in CS5 if I ever had the same issues and therefore never dealt with that again!
I am going to go read as much as I can about the color profiles in PS. I used to deal with this a lot as a print designer but not so much anymore working in UI design. I only really look into these issues when I get weird color shifts on saved files and things of that nature.
Thanks for taking the time to explain some things!

Finally, running Safari is like watching Ice melt slow . ( I am using Opera for this report)
In general, I am using Safari 5.05 and OSX 10.5.8 on a 1.83 Ghz Core 2 Dup Mini with 1 GB ram
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

These are innocuous and may be ignored. They appear for everyone using Leopard and will be repeated every time you repair permissions.
It would help if you added more RAM to your computer since 1 GB is barely enough for Leopard. Also be sure you have plenty of free space on your hard drive - at least 10-15 GBs or 10% of the drive's capacity, whichever is greater.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Creating floppy disk images (from Disk Utility) recognized by Parallels

Hi there,
After making the Parallels plunge last week, and installing a couple of my old OS's in it, I unearthed my old MS-DOS 6.22 disks. (remember that, boys and girls?)
With the help of my brother, I managed to export the contents onto a USB flash drive in the hopes of creating the necessary .fdd files that Parallels uses to create a virtual DOS machine.
(FYI - I already have DOSBox installed... but now with Parallels, I was looking to install the real deal)
Normally, renaming a .dmg file (created through Disk Utility) to a .fdd should force Mac OS to associate the image with Parallels, and thus allowing it to be recognized as a valid floppy image.
Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case for me. Parallels cannot recognize the disk images created as floppy drive images. Even after formatting the volume as both MS-DOS and MS-DOS (FAT 16), nothing seems to work.
I've already checked the Parallels forums, but couldn't drudge up anything. I was hoping one of the Level 3+'s here had some experience with this.
Am I missing something in the Disk Utility .dmg creation process of these files, or would I need a separate application to create a valid .img/.ima file to get this to work?
Thanks!
Steve

I am also having this issue. If I figure it out I'll post my solution. If anybody has had success it would be very helpful to know how they made proper images.
