OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mounting Disk Images Using 10.7.2?

Mar 9, 2012

I just got a new MacBook Pro at work, and it is running Lion 10.7.2. So far, the system will not mount any disk images, although all programs are also brand new. Neither .iso nor .dmg works. The warning message I receive each time says "Warning: The following disk images couldn't be opened ... Reason: not recognized" Disk Utility is also unable to mount the files. 

Info:
Mac OS X (10.7.2)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Disk Images Not Mounting?

Apr 14, 2012

I am having this problem with disk images (no matter if they are .dmgs or isos or whatever) in a Lion 10.7.3 fully updated iMac: when openning one of these from the desktop or a Finder window, the disk utility helper starts opening and checking the image, and then it gets to a point where a window opens as a result with the message "image could not be opened, file system not allowed" (or so, I'm translating the message from Spanish). 

And after that, no image I ever click even shows even theprogress dialog. Just nothing happens. I still see the process in Activity Monitor, and force quitting it allows the helper to work again, but I never get a .dmg to open up (so I cannot install anything...). The same images work perfectly in other computers and systems..

Applications :: Ripping And Mounting Audio CD Disc Images?

Dec 24, 2009

(If this is better in the Audio forum, moderators, feel free to move it; it's not exactly about music production, so I thought here would be better.)

I'm looking to archive all my old audio CDs as exact disc images which I can mount and rerip with iTunes when needed.

Disk Utility in Snow Leopard won't create images of Audio CDs.

Roxio Toast can rip bin/cue images, but they can't seem to be mounted easily, and Toast is much slower to rip them than I expected. It also has its own proprietary image format, but that's not a good long-term archive solution.

Disco is abandonware and hasn't been updated for Snow Leopard.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Using File Vault On A Laptop That Contains Some Encrypted Disk Images

Feb 14, 2012

I keep several encrypted disk images in the Dropbox folder on my laptop. Can I use File Vault to encrypt the laptop when it contains these already encrypted .dmg and .sparsebundle files? Or will this double encryption harm them?  

(These folders need to be individually encrypted to reside in an encrypted form on the Dropbox server. If I unencrypt them and use only File Vault, then when I'm on the computer and File Vault is off, the folders will sync to Dropbox in their unencrypted form. I want to keep these folders individually encrypted for security on the Dropbox server, then use FIle Vault on top of that to secure the rest of my laptop in case of theft).

MacBook Pro :: SD Card Not Mounting Or Seen In Disk Utility

Aug 23, 2010

I have a mid-2009 13" MBP (2.26, 4 gigs, 1TB HDD, SL 10.6.4) and the SD card reader is not recognizing any of my SD cards (won't mount and also not seen in Disk Utility). The cards are recognized when using a USB adaptor, and also work fine in my wife's MBP SD card reader, so I know it's not the cards. System Profiler recognizes the internal card reader on my system.

I've tried resetting the SMC and reformatting the cards but nothing has worked so far.

EDIT: The SD card reader isn't working under OSX or in Windows, btw.

OS X :: Couldn't Eject External, Now Disk Not Mounting?

Aug 15, 2009

I know this has been disccused ad nausium many places, but in reading 100s of posts Ive just confused myself and was hoping someone could help me make sense of all I've heard.I have a ibook g4 and use a WD 500gb external hard drive to keep all my music/pictures etc.Last night when I was moving files around (I dont think it was actually in the process of transferring files when this occurred, but there is a slight chance it was) I accidently hit enter instead of shift which told my computer to open all of the 1000+ folders that I had selected (DOH!) after working for an hour it seemed to be all frozen so with concern I turned the computer off and restarted.Suprise suprise, my external will no longer mount. - Disk Utility recognizes it but says there was an error on exit.Tim

OS X :: Auto Mounting Disk On AirPort Extreme Base Station?

Nov 9, 2010

I have my iTunes library hanging off an AEBS and if I start iTunes before mounting the disk on the AEBS, iTunes doesn't know where the library is and often reverts back to a default library location of user/music/itunes/itunesmusic. Is there any way to get this drive to mount automatically? Either through OS X or iTunes?

OS X :: Disk Images Mount But Will Not Open

Apr 1, 2010

Well, after using Monolingual on my iBook G4 late '04 1.2GHZ running Tiger 10.4.11 I tried to install an app from a dmg file and the image mounts but when clicked Finder relaunches (or at least seems to because it blinks off then back on as when relaunching) and the image does not open. Did I mess up the architectures? I left the architectures as marked by Monolingual and proceeded with the deletion.

Hardware :: TimeCapsule/using Disk Images To Store Files?

Jan 3, 2010

I wanted to store files on a Time Capsule that is also a Time Machine target. Problem is that Time Machine eats up all the space with time.

Common workarounds are: a second USB drive attached to TC or open TC and re-partition the internal drive.
As a dirty hack, I created a disk image on TC's hard-disk and I mount it via an AppleScript. The concept is the same as Loopback devices in Linux or Solaris except for the fact that disk files cannot be shared among multiple users at the same time.

OS X Server :: Blank Disk Images To Store Sensitive Data?

Dec 19, 2006

I created some blank disk images to store sensitive data in; with some I created my own password and with others I had the system do it. I also made the mistake of instructing the system to remember the passwords. Remembering the passwords kind of defeats the purpose as it automatically opens the folders. I want to be prompted for a password and never have been. I want to delete the blank disk image folders, but have not found a way of doing this and then I will create them again and instruct it not to remember the passwords. How to delete or change the password settings?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: WD Smartware Is Mounting Unknown Disks

Apr 26, 2012

I have a WD Passport. It used to do this annoying thing, where in addition to the actual drive, it would load a virtual vcd drive containing the smartware software too. (This was common to a lot of WD products). To get rid of this, I installed the WD Software on my mac, and changed the settings to that it no longer displayes the VCD. This made the VCD dissappear, but now it shows a new drive called "Boot OS X" , everytime I plug my WD drive in! 

I don't know what this drive is! And now I have the same equivalent problem to that stupid vcd drive popping up! When I plug my WD drive in, all I want to see is only one icon for the WD drive. Right now I have "Boot OS X" , and "Keanu's Time Machine". I only want "Keanu's Time Machine" to pop up when I plug in the drive.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: External Drives And SD Cards Not Mounting

May 8, 2012

About 90% of the time, SD cards and external hard drives are not mounting as soon as they're connected (via USB or the SD card slot). I need to launch disk utility, and mount volumes manually (disk utility is detecting the devices). This has persisted through multiple 10.7.X updates.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Time Machine Encrypted Drive Not Mounting?

May 25, 2012

I had been using Time Machine successfully for a while now but I am going traveling and thought I better encrypt my backup just in case it get's lost or stolen. I turned on encryption and chose a password, I don't really know if it completed the process as I was away from my computer, I susepct it failed, what I do know is every-time I plug the drive in I get the popup FileVault window and once I put my password in and select unlock it just goes grey, it's not saying it's incorrect just nothing happens and the drive does not mount. 

I can see the drive in Disk Utility but if I select it I get the spinning beach-ball. I'm afraid encryption has destroyed my new 2TB drive (less than a month old). I don't really want to attempt to erase the drive as it contains other data that is not back of the Time Machine backup. I'm running 10.7.4. What can I do to get the drive mounted?

When I receive a jpg (not a jpeg) from a mac via email it wont open in either outlook or picture viewer etc (win xp). But if the same image is sent to any other PC (from the ma user) it opens OK.The added twist.

Software :: Can't Eject Disk Images And No Right Click Eject Option?

Mar 3, 2008

I've been having problem with either Firefox or Safari and I download something and the dmg extracts and I'm left with the white casing shell where the app is housed and it won't eject. I can't eject it from finder but dumping it to the trash from finder took it off the sidebar. I can't get them off my desktop unless I restart my Mac.

I've noticed now that along with disk images not mounting for me anymore. My external drive images or DVD's won't eject either.

When I use right click with Mighty Mouse I don't even see an option anymore to eject that image. Is there any solution out there to fix this glitch? The work around I'm using is unmounting or ejecting images or disks from Disk Utility.

Why is this happening and how do I fix it? I'm using Leopard 10.5.2 and am on an intel iMac.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Images Do Not Appear In Mail Messages?

Mar 25, 2012

After the recent combined update to OS 10.7.3 MAIL does not show images as part of received messages. Instead the messages are littered with square boxes with question marks inside them. This only happens on my MacBook Pro 2.93GHz Intel Core Duo with 4GB ram and not on my iMac running the same system.

I have tried junking preferences etc but no change. I have also made sure that the "Display remote images in HTML messages" is checked in MAIL preferences.
