Problems unmounting/ejecting a disk image after upgrade to 10.4.9

Since I upgraded to 10.4.9 I have the following problem:
After viewing a slideshow of pictures located in a disk image I cannot unmount/eject this image. I receive an error message that the image cannot be deactivated/ejected as some file is still in use.
Using the activity monitor I checked which files are in use by the Finder and found out that the last picture shown by slideshow is still referenced.
To me it seems as if the upgrade from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 either changed the behaviour of slideshow (which does not close all files when terminated) or the eject image function (which does not force all open files in the image being closed).
The only bypasses I found so far are
- using "umount -f" on Unix level (think I have to be an admin for that)
or
- logging off and on again / restarting the computer
Has anybody got other ideas how to force the unmount without using native UNIX commands in a terminal window?
Can someone tell me how I can report this bug to apple? On Apple's support pages I could not find any information on that.
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.

The "Dock" contextual menu item to "Relaunch" the "Finder" is the equivalent of a "Force Quit", which is quite different from a regular "Quit".
Unless it is being unresponsive to a normal "Quit" signal, force quitting any application is not recommended because unsaved changes will be lost. In the case of the "Finder", any sort of file transfers in progress will be interrupted. Data loss may also occur if a file containing "comments" has been moved at some point earlier in the login session.
A normal "Quit", such as what occurs when logging out, quitting through the menu, using AppleScript or the "Quit" option of "Activity Monitor.app" ensures that the app quits in an orderly manner.

  • No audio on finished DVD or disk image after upgrade to QuickTime 7.1.3

    I have iDVD 6.0.2. I routinely burn iMovie output to a DVD a couple of times a week. Yesterday I was getting ready to burn a DVD and got a software update alert for QuickTime. I installed 7.1.3. The DVD I burned after that update doesn't have audio. I deleted the encoding and made a disk image. No audio on that either. Until the QT update I had never had any problem burning DVDs. The iMovie output plays fine in iMovie and iDVD. The only plugin in my libraries is AppleIntermediateCodec.Component (v1.1).
    Thanks for any help!

    I also had an audio problem with a iDVD6 for project I was working on last week (I have latest QT update). I added 2 different iMovie projects into iDVD6 Dual Layer project using submenu pages. Total size from Project Info was close to 7.7 GB limit using 'Best Performance' option. I selected 'Best Quality' option and it showed over 4 GB. I used this option and saved a disc image of this project. After done, I relooked at DVD size from Project Info and it now showed close to 7.7 GB. When I opened image file with DVD player, first movie played fine with audio. The second movie had video, but no audio.
    After skimming some of the posts in this discussion group, I found one suggesting that if audio problem occurs, export your iMovie project with transitions, etc, as full quality DV, then bring back in as new iMovie project and re-establish chapter markers. I did this for the second movie only, and readded to original iDVD6 project. After recreating a disk image, I opened in DVD player and the video and audio was fine for both movies. Burned disk worked fine too.
    Sooo ... if you have no audio problem with your iDVD6 project, if you recreate your iMovie project using procedure above and bring it back into iDVD6 project, maybe ... the audio might be there. At least it worked once for me.
    If this trick works for anyone else, please post here for all to read.

  • Problem unmounting filesystems when rebooting/halting after upgrade

    I just installed mkinitcpio 0.6.8-2 and util-linux 2.19-3 from testing repo and when i reboot/halt my system either with my custom kernel26-ck or kernel26 from core i get an error when unmounting filesystems saying:
    "/dev/sda3 busy remounting read-only"
    /dev/sda3 is my /home. After several reboots i noticed that 2 weird files(strange unreadable names) appeared in my home, so afraiding that something is wrong with the filesystem i rolled back the packages (mkinitcpio, util-linux-ng and my old kernel26-ck). Now everything is fine again with both kernels,
    I'm writing my experience here because i do not know which of mkinitcpio and util-linux may be responsible for that problem. If anyone has an idea it would be nice to inform me so that i open a bug report.

    I opened a bug report but it was closed because of being duplicate to that:
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23014?s … name=&type
    so it seems that the developers team is already informed about the problem.

  • Reinstalling Design Premium 5.5 on a Mac - error message "Install" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

    Trying to reinstall Design Premium 5.5 on a Mac OSX 10.7.5 - once downloaded to my computer it will not install due to error message "Install" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.
    Thanks

    no, redownload using a different browser from prodesigntools.com
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • The disk image "Name Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use Try ejecting the disk image

    The problem is that Time Machine seem to be ejected, I checked this both in Finder and Disk Utility.
    Please could you possibly help me with the issue?

    Wait a few minutes, then try another backup

  • "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

    After 3 different downloads (2 in Safari, 1 in Firefox) I still get this message when I try to open Lightroom package: “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image. I have a feeling it has to do with 3rd-party software on my Mac OSX 10.8.2 - how do I get around that?

    If you have already tried an alternate web browser then your next step would be to try an alternate Internet connection.  Perhaps try a wired connection if you are using wireless for example.

  • "Adobe ColdFusion 10" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

    Hello,
    Dowloaded Coldfusion from the Adobe website, both with Safari as with Firefox
    I want to install Coldfusion 10 on my Macbook. OS X 10.7.4 ( so not 10.8 ). When I double click the
    .dmg file , I always get "“Adobe ColdFusion 10” can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image." error. Never had this before. I've read about setting security on 'non signed packages', but this applies to 10.8.
    Is this a known issue ?

  • Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite  I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

    problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite  I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
    This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
    Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
    If iPhoto  is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl
