Unable to mount iso file: mountpoint doesn't seem to exist?

When I issue the command: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso /mnt/point
It always says that /mnt/point doesn't exist. I've tried using /mnt/iso (that I made) or /media or a directory in my home directory.
If it makes a difference, I'm using systemd and KDE.

Hmm. By having a loop device available, do you mean that /dev should have loop in it? Because it doesn't. I guess I need to recompile my kernel and make sure to enable loop devices?
If I do ls /dev | grep loop, I just see 'loop-control', whatever that is.
/dev/loop-control is a device that creates loop devices on demand. On first access, the kernel will reach into userspace and modprobe the loop module (if needed). If the module hasn't been loaded yet and you upgraded your kernel (deleting all your modules), you'll get the behavior you see.

Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

Mounted .iso file shows in Disk Utility, but inaccesible through finder

Hello.
I have an .iso file that used to mount flawlessly, but now when double clicked shows only in Disk Utility, while remaining inaccesible otherwise (finder hierarchy starting from computer should show all mounted drives, but this one is missing). Disk Utility doesn't find any errors. Is there any other way to find out what's wrong?
thanks

Do know the name of any file that is on the iso image? If so, do a Spotlight search on the file name and see if it show up. If it does, Command click on the result in the Spotlight list and see if the enclosing folder opens in Finder.

Since Mavericks, I can't mount ISO files on my Mac over a network

Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks, when I want to mount an ISO file on my Mac from my Windows 8.1 PC, I get an error saying it can't mount it. I have to copy the file to the PC to mount the ISO file.
Is this due to how Mavericks switched from AFP/SMB to SMB2? Is there a way to fix this?

Same issue here. Anyone have a fix for this - how to open an iso file in Mavericks?

Sold BT Infinity 2 but it doesn't seem to exist!

Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a simliar problem to me and if so how you are going about dealing with it. So back in August I moved into a new house. I rang BT and said that I would like a phone line and also enquired as to what Broadband they could provide.
So the woman in the sales centre informed me that I could have BT Infinity 2 with speeds of up to 76mbs! Brilliant. So I ordered this amazingly fast Broadband and also my phone line. I'm now in November nearly 3 months on from ordering this superfast broadband and I still don't have any broadband.
I have had 4 or 5 engineers come out now. Basically the problem is that the exchange hasn't been set up for BT Infinity 2.
The latest update I had was can you wait for 3 weeks and we will do a review. When they did a 'Review' on Tuesday the outcome was can you wait another week and we will give you another update.
There must be some sort of act that they are in breach of selling a service that isn't actually available? They don't seem to give me a decent answer ever. They seem to blame BT Openreach for all the problems.
Just wondered if anyone has had the same problem and what you did?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi sorry for not replying to anyone. Not having the internet at home is obviously an issue. The battle with the BT Muppets is still ongoing and we still don't seem to be any closer.
Says that it is all available. Think I'm up to just about 3 months now since ordering it. I've been told 3 dates in the last 2 weeks when the problem is supposed to have been resolved only to be let down every single time. I'm not due an update until December now though!
Just doesn't seem to be anyone at BT that knows what they are doing or able to give you a straight answer on exactly what is going on.
Do BT fine BT Openreach for delays? If so I would be interested to know how much they get!
My issue has been moved onto a specific person now because I complained. But quite honestly that has made no difference whatsoever. Just like dealing with the normal bods on the normal line!
I would never go with BT again even if it is just because of the poor customer service and lack of updates. Everytime they say they are going to ring me they don't and then I have to end up chasing them all the time.
The only reason I don't want to cancel it now is because I'm 3 months down the line and if I cancel and go with someone else I get to join the back of the queue!

VM won't start, unable to mount VHD file

Hello,
Last night I powered off my Windows 8.1 Pro machine running Hyper-V and one of the virtual machines may have gotten forced down hard. This morning when I tried to start it I am getting:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
My first suspicion was that the .VHD was corrupted and needed repairing. In the VMware world I would mount the disk to another VM and use various tools on it (chkdsk, etc) I believe Windows actually makes this a little easier by allowing mounding of
a .VHD within disk manger. I mount the disk and see the following image:
Although the size is correct the disk comes up as RAW (Which seems odd to this hyper-V newbie). I am unable to explore the contents of the drive, I get the error "F:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
I have a crazy suspicion that the drive is still locked by Hyper-V as if it is still running. Naturally I have confirmed the virtual machine appears offline. Is it possible that some kind of lock was not fully released when the machine was powered
off? Any other troubleshooting tips I could try?

Hi,
I don’t found the similar issue, if you have the backup of this vm, you can try to recovery it ,then try to start it again, or you can try the following method for the further
troubleshooting:
Method 1:
Backup this guest vm, use the VHD tool to fix that VHD.
Method 2:
Merge this vm checkpoint then try to start it again.
The VHD Tools download:

Can't Mount ISO Files

Hello.
Here's my problem.
Downloaded two zip files, one containing a file ending in "iso.1", the other one "iso.2". Deleted the numbers and left the files with "iso" endings.
Neither using Disc Utility, nor Toast Titanium, nor burning discs with those files and inserting them back into the computer could help mount them.
As the result, there is either a popup window saying no mountable files were found, or the mounted file contains a large audio track (it's supposed to be software!)
Any solutions, please?

I'm slightly confused about the circumstances under which you obtained these two files.
It sounds like you downloaded two different .zip files from some source, and unarchiving one of them resulted in a .iso.1 file, and the other resulted in a .iso.2 file.
And they're supposed to contain 1 piece of software between the two of them???
OK... in that case, I've got a couple suggestions:
1. first, try putting the .1 and .2 back and opening the first one in DiskUtility. If disk utility is disinclined to open it, launch disk utility, then drag the file to it's dock icon while holding apple-option (or something like that)
2. second, try concatenating the files. that would be wierd, but it's worth a try... to do this, open a new terminal window, and then type:
"cat "
(don't type the quotes in), then drag the first file (the one originally named .iso.1), then hit space, then drag in the second file (when you drag a file into the terminal, it will automatically fill in it's path in the terminal. if you're comfortable in the terminal and know what I mean, you can just type the path yourself.) then type:
">~/Desktop/newtestisofile.iso" (leave out the quotes again) and finally hit return. This will put the two files together into 1 on the desktop which will be called newtestisofile.iso, which you should try opening in diskutility
3. in the terminal again, type "file " and then drag in the first file, and hit return. post the output here so we can see it. do the same thing with the second file
4. just give us a link for this download, so that we can try directly, rather than having to tell you to try stuff.

Updated my iphone and it deleted a notes app that doesn't seem to exist any more

after putting off updating my iphone for months i finally desided to do it. I had an app called notes, published by a company called Mendero AB, and when iv'e gone to dowload the app again it isn't even in the app store. I've looked online found it tryed to download it and it says cant dowload here transfer to another itunes (swedish itunes) then when that pops up it isnt der either. It's not the app I'm bothered about it's the notes i've wrote down I presumed they would still be there if I re-dowloaded it because the update deleted gta3 from my iphone when i re-dowloaded it my game save was still there.can anyone help me pleeeaase

Have you backed up your device to your computer?
If so, you can find a copy of every app in User/Library/Music/iTunesMedia/Mobile Applications.
Check to see if your app is still in there. It's very possible iTunes removed it on its own, in which you would be SOL. You can sideload apps into iTunes but that requires a copy of the app from elsewhere.
Have you checked this out? http://itunes.apple.com/kz/app/ava-crown-notes/id427173642?mt=8

Spurious error: "You don't have permission to mount the file" on mounting an ISO from Explorer, but it works anyway

I can mount ISO files from the context menu in Explorer with the new functionality. It works very well.
However, I have a strange issue with the Microsoft "Linux IC v3.2.ISO" file downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28188
Mounting it shows this error:
But then it seems to mount as a new drive just fine and it is usable. I can also eject it ok.
I don't have this error with any other ISO. I've tried downloading it twice to different locations, same error. The permissions on the file are normal, same as the other ISOs.

I have the same problem with my Windows 8 Pro OS.

has a good 11 point answer. It suggests that you ignore the error and go check Windows Explorer to see it actually mounted OK.

[Solved] unable to mount harddisk partition or flash drive

After recent updates to gnome 3.4.2,i am unable to mount harddisk partition or flash drive .I have 2 year old arch installation with gnome.
When i click on partitions in nautilus,it says "Unable to mount program files \n Not authorized to perform operation"
Problem is not only while mounting partitions.
Wherever we need authorization .Like changing date and time ,changing user accounts using gnome UI etc.The unlock button is greyed out permanently.
even i am not able to shutdown using gnome menus. it just log me out only ,do not restart or shutdown.Though i can shutdown using shutdown command on commandline.
i run gnome using daemon method. not through xinitrc .
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25031?p … ekit#close
I found a similar discussion in this bug. But since, i do not use xinitrc, it is unlikely they will help me.
Can someone be kind enough to help me on this?
Thanks in advance.

Extracting .iso files

Hi!
I am currently running macOS 9.1. Recently I downloaded an .iso file, but the computer seems to think it is a HTML Document. is there any extensions etc. that I will need to download to get the computer to recognise it as an .iso file and then mount it?
Help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, ACWL -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I would suggest you first make a copy of the file, one to use to try opening it. This way you will still have the original in case something goes wrong (such as the software you try to use damaging the file in some way).
I would first try dropping the .iso file onto the icon for Stuffit Expander - with luck it will be opened and mounted. You may need to open Stuffit Expanders' Preferences and enable the option to mount disk images - to do that, double-click Stuffit Expander, open its Preferences (in the File menu), go to the item in the list "Disk Images", checkmark the item "Mount Disk Images". Once you have set it (or confirmed it is set to do that), quit Stuffit Expander before dropping the .iso file onto it.
Note - you may want to reset Stuffit Expander to not mount disk images once you are done trying it with the .iso file. Reason - it can interfere during the downloading of and/or normal mounting of .smi disk image files.
If using Stuffit Expander does not work, try dropping the .iso file onto Apple's Disk Copy utility. It's one of the standard utilities that comes with a normal OS 9 install.
