I tried the following to make a bootable floppy image and it would not even read in a virtual machine. I have Oracle Virtualbox. I am using a Mac Mini 2011 with 4GB of RAM. I have tried making a blank floppy and copying to it by dragging and using the Terminal, but neither works. Here are the cmds I used:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=1440>floppy.img
Then I mounted and erased the image file in Disk Utility.
cp -Rpv /Volumes/Untitled/ /Volumes/UNTITLED 1/
The above command copied all the files from the floppy to the image but the image wouldn't read on the virtual machine.

When a user copies an image from a browser into PowerPoint 2011 he gets text of a link back to the image, not the image itself. But if he copies from a browser into Word he gets the image, and can then copy the image from Word to PowerPoint. Same results with both Firefox and Safari. Behavior is new so I assume it relates to recent software updates but user does not recall accepting any.

How do I make an image of my current HD, put it on my external, and then restore it on the new HD? Obviously, since the new HD is blank, is there anyway to use the Leopard boot dvd to restore the image to the disk?
If so, what program can I use to make the 1:1 copy of my HD?
I'm new to OS X and I'm wondering if there is a way to make an image of my hard drive that I can store somewhere. That way when if I ever need to reinstall OS X if my HD dies or something, I can just load the image that I have saved. I've done this with a PC before using Acronis and Ghost but I'm not sure how to do this for a mac..

The girl told the group that Time Machine would make a perfect mirrored image of the hard drive in case of catastrophic failure. I asked her if this image was a boot-able clone and she said yes.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a nice tidy option to create an image of a "master" client and distribute to a group of student Macbooks. All the Macbooks are the same model and are all running Snow Leopard (though they were released with Leopard). Initially, one of the teachers created a user account (called student) with all the software and settings that we needed, on one of them and used Migration Assistant to copy that account to the others.
I prefer to have a master image I can restore to at any time. I figure that Disk Utility will do the job - I'm just not 100% sure of which steps to take. So far I have created my "master" macbook that is set up just the way I want it. Next I was going to attach it to the mac I use to run everything on (ARD etc) via firewire and boot the master in Target mode. Then I would run Disk Utility on my mac and use the New Image button to create an image called "studentPOD.dmg" (There is room on my mac for this, or I can put it on an external USB disk) Is this correct, and once I have the image, how do I get it onto the other Macbooks? Is there anything special I have to do to make it bootable? They all part of a student POD and can be re-imaged at anytime without worrying about losing data...so I can afford to experiment...

Safari used to let me drag an image from a webpage to the finder and have the dragged file be saved as an actual image but now all that's saved is a webloc file. I want the image saved, not a reference to the image's URL - do I now have to always use "save as" to save it?
I can understand Safari creating a webloc file if I dragged the site icon from the location bar to the finder, but to make the default behavior for dragging things that are parts of a page (not the page itself) as webloc files seems like a HUGE step backwards for usability.
Does anyone know if there's, say, a key to hold when dragging to avoid saving a webloc file or a defaults command or something to make Safari revert back to sane draging behavior?

One software says I cannot upload an image because the image or the container folder does not have permission. Indeed there is one "unknown" in permissions, that I cannot get to a read write no matter how hard I try -- both on the folder, the desktop, and the file (this is all on my laptop) I've done a repair permission.

I am new to Mac and I need to find a way of editing JPEG files in a manner similar to the editing capabilities of MS Paint. I.e., nothing very fancy, but cropping, changing color fills, adding text, and saving in high or low resolution. Can you help me find out how to do this on an OS X Lion Macintosh?

I've been trying to partition my drive to use bootcamp for the past 3 days now. I've done this before with ease and let me just say Apple (usually) makes this very simple.
I have 10.7, all updated and working properly with no disk errors (repaired/verified). Disk Utility won't partition my 500gb HDD into a 100gb windows partition along with a ~400gb OSX one, says some files cannot be moved. So everything I've read says to image the HDD (image saved on USB external terrabyte), restore to it via disk utility on boot from the image, and then to partition.
I created the image of Mac OSX successfully and saved it on the external. I rebooted and got into Disk Utility, selected the image in the left column, marked it as the source image, and then chose my internal HDD as the destination.
From the looks of it, I've done it all correctly. But I keep getting the same error... it says it needs to scan the image, I let it, and it goes for about an hour or two with the subscript "Block Checksum Partition #X". In this case, it is at #2, and when it gets toward the end of the scan, an error pops up saying "unable to scan (internal error)".

Yesterday I downloaded and installed Lion. After a while I tried to open one of the disk images that I have stored on the harddrive, which worked to mount prior to installing Lion. While attempting to open it, the process fails and gives the error "no mountable filesystems". I have searched for the error on the internet, and there does not seem to excist a solution to it. However, all the people with the same error, whcih did not have a solution, did not seem to have a similiar problems. Their problem lied with not being able to access disk images downloaded from the internet, while my disk image already excised on the hard drive before installing lion.
Many of the files and documents on the disk image are irreplaceable to me. I can not stress how important it is for me to recover them. If I am not able to do so, it will result in a massive economic loss.

Since my latest clean system install a few days ago, Image Capture appears to be corrupted. It is missing some menu items, will save only PNG and TIFF file types from my scanner, and crashes frequently. No other applications are affected (for example, I can still scan to JPEG using any other application). Is there an Image Capture preferences file I can find and delete, or is there a quick way to reinstall the application?

Is there any way to make Image Capture forget a device? It must have a cache since it remebers the folder where I save the photos. I want to make it forget my iPhone (4) because it keeps deleting everything I import regardless if I uncheck the box or not. What's weird is it works fine with all our other iDevices (4S, 3, iPad, all latest iOS) and card readers, so it must be something it remebers about my phone.
It do not see anything like this in the menu. Here is the Image Capture stuff in ~/Library just in case someone can point me to the culprit.

I'm trying to figure out whether it is Mail that is automatically reducing image quality, or my internet service provider. I'm not exceeding my ISP image size restrictions. All jpgs are getting to the recipients greatly reduced in resolution. This has never been a problem for me in the past, and my ISP blames Mail. I am doubtful. Is there a setting on mail that could restrict image size that I've accidentally changed?

I work in a John Lewis shop in the UK, I've set one of our display imac's up to have all the demo content installed for Mac OS X Lion. But id rather not go around each machine and install everything again manually. What would you advise is the best way to create a system image that i can just install onto each of the other machines to the exact same state I have the one i've already done?
Is is best to clone the drive using carbon copy cloner? then just use system restore option from disk utilities? Will this work with the fact the macs have all different seriel numbers etc?

What settings do I need to change?
I recently right clicked a picture to set it as my desktop picture but didn't have the foresight to save the picture in case I wanted to change it later. I still have the picture up but I cannot find where the picture is stored so I can save it for later. I checked HD/Library/desktop pictures but no luck. Does anyone know where these pictures are saved?

My MacBook Pro has OSX Lion on it. I have created a DMG image of my starting volume using Disk Utility. The image was saved on an NTFS formatted external USB disk. I used Paragon NTFS for Mac to activate writing on NTFS partitions. The image was created, tested and it mounted fine. It's size is 105GB.
I have restarted the system and am accessing Disk Utility from the recovery partition that OSX Lion creates. Disk Utility can see the NTFS disk and I can choose the DMG image as source and the partition on the internal hard disk as a target without problems but when I press the restore button and the Image scan process is going to start I just get an error that says "Unabke to scan Mac-OSX HD. Resource busy". When I try the SCAN BEFORE RESTORE command on Disk Utility on the image I am getting "Unable to scan MAC IMAGE.DMG (Not such file or directory)".
I have already erased my startup disk and really need to get this image back in place. It is the only backup I have of my data.
