Unable to Mount "Mac OS standard" Volumes

I am unable to mount volumes of file system "Mac OS standard." In this case I am trying to mount an image I made of a Starcraft BroodWars CD, but my computer claims that the file is damaged. However it says this of all of my saved images and I find this to be unlikely. I attempted to burn the image to disk using the Disk Utility, but even while disk utility seems to recognize the CD, it will still not mount it. Attempts to verify the disk yield the error:
Verifying volume “Brood War CD”
Checking HFS volume.
Invalid number of allocation blocks
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Any advice?

Yes, I think you need to repair your hard drive from your disk. Did you try to reset the Pram?
If my advise is something you already tried, remember there is no way for me to know this.
If you want instructions on either, post back.
I wish you well.

Formatting a drive in HFS (Mac OS Standard)?

I pulled my old Mac, an older G4, out of storage to attempt to install Ubuntu linux on it. There seems to be something wrong with the CD drive (DVDs mount, but CDs don't), so installing from the CD is out. I was going to go with the hard drive install method, but here's the (latest) problem I've run into... the docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/powerpc/boot-drive-files. html) tell me the drive I'm installing from has to be formatted HFS, not HFS+. It doesn't seem that I even have the option to format either of the 2 internal drives as Mac OS Standard, only HFS+. Disk Utility also gives me the option of formatting it as "UNIX File System", but unless I'm misunderstanding something, that's not going to help me.
Anyone have any thoughts? Are there any programs out there that'll format HFS for me?
G5 1.6MHz

Hi, David -
Did that machine originally come with OS 9? If so, boot to an OS 9 Install CD of appropriate version, and use OS 9's Drive Setup to format the drive as HFS.
Note that if you need to be booted to that volume, you will need to install OS 9 onto it and boot using that - OSX can not use an HFS (Mac OS Standard) volume as a boot volume.
If you do not need to be booted to an HFS volume, and you just need one from which to run the installer, then if you happen to have a Zip drive in that machine you could format a Zip disk as HFS, place the installer on it, and run it from there.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Standard Issue

The first time a user loads Office for Mac it runs the first time launch which creates that users preference files so unless you run it for each user then they will receive those prompts. As for the DB issue I would probably run a permission repair on the startup disk as well as ensure that you run Office updates for each user (I have seen a few installs that require an update run for each user for whatever reason).

AfternoonWe are in the process of upgrading our iMac and in doing sowant to make use of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Standard (Volume License). Our iMac’s arejoined to a Windows domain, therefore several users will be using them daily.Our iMac’s are currently running Yosemite 10.10.4, and Office2011 has had all its available updates applied.However every time we logon as a different user, Officebehaves as if it has been run for the first time. Users are prompted for name, organization,updates, CIP etc…In addition, after the user has gone through the above steps,the user is then greeted by the infamous message that the Office database hasbeen damaged and that it needs to be rebuilt. Users can ignore this message butit’s still an inconvenience.Is there any way we could customise the installation so thatthe end users do not receive these...

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Unable to mount volume

I have a partitioned USB drive hooked up to my Intel 24" iMac. Two of the partitions are HFS+ formatted while the third is MS Dos File System FAT32 formatted. On my G4, I can mount the two HFS+ volumes when I go to the Network icon in my sidebar. I can see them in the iMac list of volumes. I cannot see the FAT 32 partition in the list at all. Is this to be expected, or is there a way around it so that I can mount my USB drive without having to unplug it from the iMac and plugging it into the G4.

I think that if the partition table is GUID, your non-Intel Mac won't be able to see the FAT32.
Check and see if that's the case.

Unable to mount XSAN volume on client workstation

We just reimaged one of our machines and we are now unable to mount the xsan volume. Originally when the machine hooked up the IP was wrong and the XSAN couldn't see it. This has been fixed and the XSAN sees it now and it is authenticated, but when we try to mount the volume we get this error
Jan 26 13:54:48 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error reading computer properties: kOfflineError (0)

The *'s was the name of the machine, apple has been little to no help. We have tried removing the machine form the XSAN and then adding it back in, same issue. Tried reinstallingt eh client, same issue. Any ideas?

This is the error on server

Unable to mount USB NTFS hard drive on mac

I am trying to mount an iomega ego 1 TB USB hardrive on my mac pro.
The drive is formatted for windows. Normally you could at least see the drive mount. To help make it writeable from the mac I am using FUSE and Tuxera NTFS. After a clean reinstallation of snow leopard and update with the latest patches etc... This was working fine. The drive was seen by OSX and i could read/write to it without issues.
I then went about restoring some applications with the mac migration tool. Since that was done the drive no longer mounts to the desktop.
I see the following error in the console logs:

did one of my migrated apps kebosh something? Any suggestions are welcome.

Those errors sound like your drive is having serious trouble. It is probably time to look for a replacement for it. I certainly hope everything on that disk is backed up.

Mac Pro unable to mount etc. blank cd / dvd but reads cd's/DVD's with data

First ... sorry my bad English!
My Mac Pro is unable to mount blank cd's/dvd's but can read+mount cd's/dvd's with data??
It happends with my internal drive and with my Lacie external drive so it is not "hardware" problem.
I think this started after uppdates (security etc.)
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
But still I'm able to burn with my Toast software cd's dvd's although cds are not mounted???or seen in finder???
-SsoundD

Start the program you are using to burn the discs, and when you are about to burn them, it will tell you to insert a blank CD/DVD to be burned.
Mac OS X cannot mount Blank CD/DVD, since it does not have any Mac File Structures on it.

Xsan2.2 client cannot mount StorNext3.5.2 volume

Hello,
On an OSX 10.6.4 system , I am trying to mount a Stornext3.5.2 filesystem, whose MDC is a Linux system.
On the MAC I can see all the LUNs,
I can somehow see the fylesystem:
+sh-3.2# xsanctl list+
+snfs01 - not mounted+
I cannot mount it:
+sh-3.2# xsanctl mount snfs01+
+mount command failed: Unable to mount volume `snfs01' (error code: 5)+
I would like to know what +error code: 5+ means, and whether anybody can help me in mounting the filesystem.

Apple's XSAN enterprise support claims error code 5 is proprietary.
Quite frustrating.
From our experience with the same set up (RHEL MDCs running Storenext 3.5.x) typically error code 5 on clients after an xsanctl mount command means: reboot the computer and try again.. the computer will automount the san volume(s) 60% of the time.
mcacciagrano- have you had any success deciphering what error code 5 is actually a complaint about?
It is not a unique serial number issue (verified through the system's config.plist).
It's not a fibre issue (we can see the LUNs)
It's NOT a ghosted mount point folder issue (from early xsan days)
It IS a (VERY COSTLY) annoyance, that's for sure.

Burning a HFS/Mac OS Standard CD for System 7

I want to burn a CD to use on my old Color Classic running System 7.1. This used to be easy by selecting 'Mac OS Standard' in Dsik Utility when creating a disk image, however the option now seems to have disappeared.
Does anybody know how I can now burn an HFS (not HFS+) CD?

Found a copy of the version 10 manual online. It notes this for HFS Standard:
Creating a Temporary Partition
You can create a temporary partition on your hard disk that can be used to set up data you want to record to a disc. Temporary partitions allow you to have better control over the layout of your data and how its windows are
arranged and displayed.
To create a temporary partition:
1 Choose Utilities > Create Temporary Partition.
2 Enter the size for the partition. Choose a size that is appropriate for the disc that you intend to make from the partition. For example, 650 MB is suitable for a CD and 4300 MB is suitable for a DVD.
3 Choose the file system format for the partition:
■ Mac OS Extended: The best choice for discs to be used on Mac OS 8.1 or later, including any Mac OS X system.
■ Mac OS Standard: For discs to be used on computers running Mac OS 8 or lower.
■ UNIX File System: For discs to be used on the UNIX operating system.
4 Click OK.
Toast mounts the partition on the Desktop. You can add files or folders to
this partition.
You can actually do the same thing in Toast 11. Big problem, though. The HFS Standard disk image it creates and mounts on the desktop is read only, so you can't add anything to it. One of the members at Roxio's forums had this to say:
I just checked and got the same result. The permissions are for read only. However, I found a workaround. Instead of creating a HFS Standard partition, create a HFS Extended partition. When it mounts the permissions allow read & write. Add your content in the Finder. Now choose Mac Volume as the format in the Toast Data window. Select the mounted partition and burn the disc. The burned disc will be HFS Standard.
I haven't tried his approach, so I don't know if that's correct. I also tried using Disk Utility to create a .dmg I could drop into Toast 11, but you can only create HFS Extended images.

Unable to mount Western Digital Hard Drive after upgrade to 10.6.4

I have tried to search for a solution to my problem, but have not found anything that seems to help. So hopefully someone here can provide some guideance.
I have a Western Digital 1TB My Book that I have been using primarily for backing up photos. The drive is formatted as FAT-32 so I can work with it from my Windows XP laptop too if I need to (although my Windows laptop mostly collects dust since getting the Macbook). I have been using the feature in Adobe Lightroom to automatically backup each photo to the My Book when it is being loaded into Lightroom. I also backup the Lightroom catalogs to the My Book.
Occassionaly I would get the "beach ball of death", but not always related to being in Lightroom at the time. I recently had a beach ball incident. After a restart and using Disk Utility on the Macbook's HD, I decided to check for any updates. At this time I ended up upgrading from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. After doing the upgrade, I can see the drive in Disk Utility, but the "My Book" volume is greyed out. Running "Repair Disk" has no effect. The "Repair Disk Permissions" buttons are greyed out. I cannot get the My Book volume to mount to be able to use the drive. If I plug the drive into my Windows XP laptop, Windows can work with it just fine. I ran the windows check disk program, which took 24 hours on 1TB, and it did not find anything. Plug back into my Macbook, and it still cannot mount the My Book volume.
I also tried to plug in a Western Digital My Passport portable 400GB drive which is powered by the USB and does not require a separate power supply cord. It has the same issue where the "My Passport" volume cannot be mounted.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the Macbook to mount the drive again? NOTE: I'll probably not be able to try any suggestions or respond until Monday, but if there are multiple suggestions queued up over the weekend it will give me a good starting point when I can get back to this on Monday.
Thanks,
Jim

The Combo Update worked. But I need to know why.
Although I have no proof or authoritative source that confirms this, using the Combo seems to account for anything missed by or changed since earlier updates.
This originally started after check for updates, and the 10.6.4 update is when the problem started. What is different about the Combo Update, ...
Pragmatically, the difference is that it just works for me. Mathematically:
Combo http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048 is File Size: 887.37 MB
Incremental http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1049 is File Size: 607.21 MB
887.37 - 607.21 = 280.16 MB more in the Combo.
... and how would I have known about it had someone else not directed me to it.
If you have skipped some updates, your Mac's Software Update... (SU) will suggest Combo.
Someone else (Thanks, Defcom! ) told me about Combos years ago while I was still running 10.3.x.
BTW, many users never use or seem to need the Combo.
You seem to be an experienced user. If you have been using Macs trouble-free for a long time without updating via the Combos, you may decide not to bother with the Combo except in specific cases where you have a problem that isn't corrected by other fixes.
Is there somewhere on the website I need to check regularly in addition to the normal updates?
You can search Support Downloads for the latest Combo Updates any time.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
You can decide when to search any way you choose, but here is my process:
• I set my Macs' SU Preferences to Check for updates: "Daily."
• I do NOT enable "Download updates automatically."
• When SU notifies me that a Mac OS update is available, I quit SU without installing anything.
• Then I repair permissions, download and install the Combo, and repair permissions again.
• I then run SU again to install any other updates that are available on the same date.

Unable to mount partition

I'm unable to get a disk partition to mount. The partition has/had 10.6 installed and I was probably doing something I shouldn't have while installing windows on a separate partition. Since then, I am unable to start-up from that mac drive.
I had to create a new partition and install OSX again. When I open disk utility it sees the old drive but it is grey-out. When I run repair disk everything is ok but once I click to mount the drive I get a message that "The disk could not be mounted. Try running repair disk and then retry mounting", which seems to be an endless cycle that does not work. I've tried using Techtool and Drive Genius and they recognize and "repair" the disk but I am still unable to mount it.
Any suggestions?

I erased the windows partition and created a new partition with disk utility and installed OSX. I don't want to erase the old partition because I would like to extract what I can before erasing to entire hard drive. I have backup thru time machine but I want to make I have everything.

10.8.3 update kills cd-roms created with Mac OS Standard HFS format

Archived CD's created with HFS (MacOS Standard in get info) would mount and you could copy and open documents with no problems a couple of weeks ago in 10.8.2. But after 10.8.3 update are now mounting but you cannot copy or open the files on them.
Below a CD in finder under 10.8.3, while trying to copy to desktop and trying to open from CD.
Below same CD in finder of 10.8.2. CD contents show with thumnail preview and the document opens from the CD no problem.
Why would Apple drop support for HFS in an incremental update with no documentation able to be found anywhere? Any ideas?

I can't reproduce that. I have a very old backup CD, made in April of 2000 and using the Mac OS Standard format. It works just fine on my 10.8.3 system:
As you can see, I can open an image file on that CD just fine.
It's important to note that home-burned CDs don't last forever. They have a limited shelf life, and if they're being used (and exposed to light) frequently, that life will be shorter. All CDs will eventually fail, and I'm guessing that's what happened with yours. Perhaps they are failing in a way that 10.8.2 could deal with, but 10.8.3 can't? I don't know.
I did see some very strange behavior from the first disk I tried, which was also Mac OS Standard, but was much older (it had no date on it, but I'm guessing mid-90s). Files would show up very briefly, then would disappear from view. Even the Terminal behaved oddly when trying to list the contents. Trying to copy folders to the hard drive resulted in -43 (ie, file not found) errors. It looks like that disk has failed.

Unable to mount RAID external hard drives since upgrading to OS X 10.7.4...

Hi. Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7.4 I am unable to mount any of my G-Tech Raid hard drives. Does anyone know of a solution or if Apple are aware of this issue?

I would suggest that you ask G-Tech if new firmware is required for 10.7.4.

Raid 0 (pair of 1GB drives) unable to mount or unmount.

I have a Raid 0 drive pair setup (1GB). I recently had to re-locate my computer. Did a normal shutdown and when I power it back up I got an error about the raid... I went into Disk Utility and the raid volume shows greyed out. Cannot mount nor unmount the volume.
The individual drives pass verify and repair disk with no issues. They even show 'Online' under the physical drive. But when I click on the raid set, it gives me the option to Verify Disk or Repair Disk but when I click either... it just shows:
busSpecificKeys:
2012-04-29 11:12:52 -0600:

Any idea's?
I have restarted several times.
Cleared PRAM.
