Splitting DMG file onto multiple disks

So, I've created a ~45GB DMG file to backup some data, and I want to be able to burn it to DVD's.
I've read a little about splitting DMGs using the hdiutil but I'm not familiar enough with the terminal to do it that way.
Does anyone know of an easy way to split a large DMG across multiple disks that can then be loaded to another computer and mounted?
I have Toast Titanium and Stuffit Deluxe, so I know that through a combination of those I should be able to do it.
Any suggestions?

See [this knowledge base article|http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Toast/000007T] on Roxio's site for further info. I quote a passage:
Toast does not need to be installed on the computer to restore.
Please also consult Toast's manual that was installed with the app on your computer. You might want to search for phrases like "spanning" or "restore".

Love TM but need to backup files onto fat32 disk...?

Hi,
I have loved using TM (so simple) but I need my backup disk to be readable on friends PC's = need fat32 disk. I guess TM just can't backup on fat32 disks.
Do you know of any TM like option to backup mac files onto fat32 disks (without creating a backup file you can only browse through your backup application)?
Thanks
Lionel

Most backup utilities will backup files to a FAT formatted drive although you cannot create a bootable backup on one. You might try one of the following:
Backup Software Recommendations
My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
If you have a .Mac account you can try Apple's Backup which comes free with the .Mac subscription. You download it from your iDisk.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
You may find it more convenient overall to use a separate drive specifically for use on both a PC and Mac, and use a different drive for your TM backup.

Burnin a large iMovie file onto multiple DVD's.

I have a large iMovie file on my hardrive. I would like to back it up onto a DVD, but it is too large for a 4.7 Ghz DVD. Is there a way to copy the file onto several disks?
Thanks,
Kevin

Disk storage is cheap. For a modest amount of money, you can easily buy an external hard drive that's several times the capacity of a DVD, so I suggest you simply back up your movie file to an external hard drive.
If that option doesn't appeal to you can probably use iDVD to divide the movie file up into chapters, then burn the chapters to different different DVD discs.

How do i find and move all files across multiple disks

I just purchased a 2010 Mac Pro and wanted to set it up with a clean install of Mavericks. I installed a new SSD as my boot disk and did a clean install of Mavericks on it. All good so far.
Now from my previous Macs I have several disks (internal and external) that have pictures, music and movies spread all over the place.
I want to know how I can search all of the drives for all of a specific file type (i.e, JPEG or MP3) and then move those files to a new folder. Once I have all of the files of a specific type in a single folder I can create a new library in iPhoto or iTunes using those files.
I tried AraxisFDF and it worked well for finding the files but when it moves the files it saves then in their original file structure (i.e, volume/folder/folder/folder/file) which places the files in multiple folders again.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can clone the respective HDDs using Disk Utility>Restore or Carbon Copy Cloner. That will guarantee that you have all images and movies backed up.

Split MP3 file into multiple MP3 files

I've been through the help section and is till cant seem to figure out how to split a large (2 hour) mp3 file into multiple mp3 files.
I have a 2 hour MP3 recording (Stereo not mono), and I have added markers (by simply pressing keyboard shortcut 'M' to add marker), but now I would like to know how to split that one mp3 files into multiple files from the markers which I have made...
All my marker types are "Cue" when i pressed 'M' at the locations I want the track to end/start

You didn't say which version of the program you're using, but in general, there is a way to do this by adding one additional cue at the very end of the file, then "merging" the cues (which converts the space between each cue into a "range"), and batch processing each range out to a separate file. (Make sure there's a cue at the beginning of the file, or at least the first material you want in a new file.)
Now that you've done all that work, I'm going to tell you that what you're doing is probably a bad idea. Opening any mp3 in Audition and resaving back to mp3 means you've doubled the losses and distortion inherent with the mp3 compression. Audition can't do lossless editing of mp3s. The bottom line: are you really splitting the file, and does the result have to be mp3 format? If saving to a (wave file, or any other lossless format, then what I'm saying doesn't matter.
In any case, "mp3 Direct Cut" is a terrific freeware program that does lossless mp3 editing, and I'd highly recommend you try it. It's saved my neck a number of times. See http://www.mpesch3.de.

Split text file in multiple files based on a string

Hey all,
I want to split a text file into multiple files. I already found some examples where there is a split based on a number of files.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=256&threadID=260930
But I want to make a split based on a string (word) that I find in the file.
Anyone that can help me ?

Split delimited file into multiple structures

Hi experts,
I have a delimited text file that has multiple row types - each row contains only one structure, but there could be 10 different row types (structures) in the file. I can figure out which structure each row belongs. Just need to come up with a way to dynamically split each line.
I am trying to stay away from:
case 'row type'
when 'structure A'
    split into A1, A2, A3...
when 'structure B'
    split into B1, B2, B3...
end with.
Rather, create a routine accepting file line and structure (or structure name) that returns the structure with data populated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Hyun Kang

Split download file into multiple files

Hi all,
I'd like to split my internal table into multiple files when downloading. The split will be determined by contents of a specific field (e.g. create a new file for every unique country, where country is a key field). The number of files to download can only be determined at runtime.
Any ideas on how i can resolve this?
Thanks,
Chris.

try this...
*declare itab1 same as itab
data : filename(25).
loop at itab.
<b> move-corresponding itab to itab1.
append itab1.</b>
at end of BUKRS.
        *use GUI_DOWNLOD    FM here
   *pass itab1 every time here
   *change the filename everytime
     concatenate 'Company_' itab-bukrs into filename.
<b>   refresh itab.</b>
endat.
endloop.

AppleScript Split text file into multiple files

I have large text files that I would like to break up into individual files. They are compilations of articles; I want to create a new file for each article, which begins with:
     Document # of #
I don't think any other lines start with "Document" so that might be fine as a delimiter.
Also, it would be great if the new files could be named "LAT_1", "LAT_2", etc.
I found this thread:
AppleScript separating one text file into many at Paragraph break
I tried the second script by twtwtw and changed
set parsingText to "Document"
but got the following error:
error "Can’t get item 2 of {\"LAT 1985-1990 local food copy.txt\"}." number -1728 from item 2 of {"LAT 1985-1990 local food copy.txt"}
I also found this thread but it was too complicated for me to understand. Re: Split a large text file with many entries into separate files
Can anyone help me modify the script? I've been looking at this as well as Unix commands to use in Terminal, but I'm just too much of a beginner.
Any assistance is much appreciated!
Trisha

Hello
Here's a modified version of the script in
Split a large text file with many entries into separate files
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5641125?tstart=0
This will split the given text by delimiter line in the form of "Document # of #" and save each chunk of text from one delimiter to the preceding line of the next delimiter in separate file named after LAT_0000.txt, where 0000 is sequential number starting at 0001.
Note that any text before the first delimiter is ignored and not saved in output file. You may select multiple input files. Existing file in the destination folder is overwritten. Input text is assumed to be in UTF-8 and each line is termitated by U+000A LINE FEED.
set ff to choose file with prompt "Choose input file(s)." with multiple selections allowed
set d to choose folder with prompt "Choose destination folder."
set args to ""
repeat with a in {d} & ff
    set args to args & " " & a's POSIX path's quoted form
end repeat
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & args & "
use strict;
sub usage () {
    printf STDERR \"Usage: %s output_directory file [file ...]\\n\", $0;
    exit 1;

my $outdir = shift @ARGV;
unless ( -d $outdir ) {
    printf STDERR \"Not a directory: %s\\n\", $outdir;
    &usage();
my $i = 0;
my ($n, $n0, $t);
while (<ARGV>) {
    if ( /^ \\s* Document \\s+ [0-9]+ \\s+ of \\s+ [0-9]+ .* $/ox ) {
        $n = sprintf('LAT_%04d.txt', ++$i);             # e.g., LAT_0001.txt
        if ( $n0 ) {

How to split Large file into Multiple small files..

Hi,
My source file is simple XML structure...and target side also i need to send in XML files .. but in the source file I'm getting all the data at a time.. so source file is more than 1000 records.. but i want to process 50 records at a time...
bu using FCC (RecordSet per Message) we can solve this.. but I dont want to do any File conversion.. i want to send in XML file only...
for this.. how we can handle....

In the example, I've given 5 records to split. If you want 50 records to split, then instead of 5 give 50 in the constant.

How to Split Master File into Multiple Small Files?

Sorry if this has been addressed - I'm having a hard time finding the answer.
I'm using FCE 4.0. I taped 4 hours of material and need to deliver the footage to someone in discrete chunks. I tried to do in/out capture but for some reason that wasn't working - something to do with the timecode. So I did full tape dumps.
So now I have 4 huge files (4 miniDV tapes) that are too big to deliver as-is. I used DV Start/Stop Detect to set markers, then used that to create sub-clips. But of course this doesn't actually affect the master scratch files.
What's the best way to convert these sub-clips to individual mov files? If I do an export of each file ("Using QuickTime Conversion..."), don't I risk losing information or possibly quality? Isn't there some way to highlight all my sub-clips in the bin and say "Mega-Chop Activate!" or something?
Or, taking a step or two back, if there's another way I should've approached this, please let me know. There'll be more. Plenty more.
Thank you.

I'm burning mov source to DVD for FC editing by someone else.
Your second set of questions actually gives me some ideas - that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out.
As an example, let's say 1 tape, i.e. 1 master file, holds 5 interviews. I want to deliver 5 individual files/clips, say 3 on DVD A, 2 on DVD B. (Assume for the sake of argument that the math works out and there's no other way to deliver this.)
- Does creating a different project for each "chunk" result in a different file in the scratch folder that can be burned to DVD?
- Does "Print to Video" create QT files? I thought this output back onto tape.
- By "Export to QuickTime" are you referring to Export->QuickTime Movie (as opposed to Export->Using QuickTime Conversion)?
- Does Export->QuickTime Movie result in lossy conversion or does it automatically retain the original capture quality?
- Is there a way to do all 5 exports at once or must they be done individually?
Thanks for the fast response!

Install .kfp file onto multiple Mac's

Hi folks,
I have a preflight profile that needs installing and Group name changed on multiple Mac's. Currently I will do this manually but I'd really like to automate this process .
I've done a bit of digging and found that once a .kfp is imported the file name is obfuscated, the format is changed to .kfg and ends up at this location
/Users/*username*/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/Preflight Acrobat 10/Preferences/Profiles
I'm curious to know if any one else has tackled this problem? Maybe using applescript??
Many thanks

Splitting System Files Across Multiple Hard Drives

Hey, all:
I was thinking about taking adavantage of Other World Computing's program to add a secondary SSD to my 2010 iMac. My plan was to add a 240GB SSD and copy the System, Application, and Library folders to the SSD. I was planning on leaving the Users folder on the stock HD.
It occured to me that this could possibly confuse the system, as maybe OS X needs to see all four of those folders on the same HD. Is this something I should be worried about, or am I just loopy from being outstide in the cold?
TIA for any help.

Mattand wrote:
Hey, Varjak:
Now I'm wondering if I should just get a SSD big enough to hold everything. I wonder if any speed gains would be negated, as the system would have to bounce back and forth between the regular HD and SSD for the system prefs in the Home folder.
It depends on exactly how the system will be operating, but I'd expect a significant speedup if the OS and applications are on an SSD even if all the user files are on a hard drive. The time to read preference files is negligible, so that shouldn't be a concern, though application support files are a bit more extensive and take a bit longer to access depending on the app. You should still see significant improvement even so, though you might consider keeping your home folder on the SSD and moving just your documents and other data to a hard drive. You may also want to check your iMac's HD and if it's the normal 5400-RPM unit upgrade it to a higher-performing 7200-RPM unit.

Anyone know how to repair a corrupted .DMG file? I recovered the file using Disk Drill. There are actually 4-6 files I have encrypted into a DMG - now they are back on my desktop (deleted them months ago) and the size is correct (between 500-900 MB each)

I deleted several .mov files a while back that were encrypted into a .dmg file. Using Disk Drill, I was able to recover 5 of these files, roughly 500-900 MB each and successfully moved them to my desktop. When I try to open the .dmg file, the dreaded error message "no mountable file systems" shows up. I have tried various fixes based on searches and none have worked. Are these files just corrupted and unreadable, or is there a way to fix?

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.
