Open Dmg File Mac Not Recognized
| Click here to return to the 'Force-mount unmountable disk images' hint |
Any basic book on Mac OS X would tell you how do install a program. You do not drag the.dmg file to the Applications folder. You double click on it and then drag the.app file to the applications folder. In OO.o's case, there is a shortcut to the applications in the.dmg file that you can drag the.app file to. .dmg not recognised when installing Office 365 on a Mac Hi, here the situation, I just purchased Office 365 Home Premium version and tried installing on a brand new Macbook Air running obviously the new, updated version of OS X Mountian Lion. And lo & behold, 'Keychain Access.app' opens! I read through its listings and edited them. The previously-created.dmg files, however, still did not recognize that they were supposed to be password-protected. So I made a new one, and presto, it worked as intended! Hopefully the re-install of the OS, now 10.4.11, will 'stay put!!' Apr 02, 2020 Double-clicking a DMG file on a Windows computer will prompt you to select a program with which to open the file. Unless you have a third-party tool like 7-Zip or DMG Extractor installed on your computer, you won't be able to open the DMG file. If this method doesn't work, you can also go to Disk Utility Add Disk Image. Make sure you have the app needed to open the file. If you do, the file may have been corrupted during the download. Delete it, then try downloading it again. The downloaded file may be a compressed archive or disk image that contains the file you want. If the file is from a trusted site, double-click it to decompress it.
Great, Great, Great.
I am creating a lot of disk images at the moment for the distribution of a product and obviously I have to test those images. After mounting about 10 the Finder stops doing it's work as described in the hint. This problem exists even in 10.3.5 and I am very happy now, cause rebooting, the only solution I had figured out so far, really interrupts my work big time.
Thanks for the tip.

Rehab is for quitters!
It just so happens that we already built an AppleScript solution using this method; I'll paste it below for those who are Terminally challenged. As for the issue with password protected disks, this script will indeed trigger a GUI window asking for any such passwords not already stored in Keychain. I have yet to find an instance where presentation of the password box triggered the failure we're looking to overcome in this hing, but the -stdinpass switch would likely resolve it (see the man page), and could be added to this script.
Now, if you could add an 'on open' handler that handled drag-and-drop, you'd be all set! Just drag your dmg files onto the script and they would mount. All in one runtimes 32 bit. No file dialog to get in the way. :-)
Hi there..
Well, I tried both versions of your script on several disk images (including one that I KNOW mounts fine by itself), and most of them were grayed out in my file dialog. My first thought was that perhaps they were corrupted, but at least one of them mounts fine on its own, and it was not accessible either.
I very much appreciate your scripting skills, but do you have any idea why I might be having such problems? Any suggestions from anyone else out there? I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks in advance,

I may just be a big newbie, (and I undoubtably am), but when running this script the only items I could select when it asked me which DMG I wanted to mount were file folders and no DMG files. Even with a foler selected, 'Choose' never highlit. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there an applescript super newbie thread I should be hitting up before getting to knee deep in this?
by the way, rebooting still didn't allow me to mount the DMGs. I'm running 10.3.7.
Thanks for any/all help guys!

While this is a nice workaround - I really wish the problem would be solved instead. Very annoying. On my machine - happens everyday after about my tenth disk mount. The image actually appears to get mounted and appears in /Volumes but it shows up no where else and is impossible to access.
I must say, it doesn't happen much with me. But if it shows up in /Volumes, you should be able to refresh the finder by doing 'disktool -r'. I am writing a script that triggers mounting of dmg and the 'disktool -r' seems to solve some of my problem.
Good luck
I tried this Hint for the first time today, but I didn't appear to have the relevant utility. Typing in hd and tab brought up
hdiutil
which is not the command quoted in the actual command string in the Hint.
Anyway, I tried hdiutil, and it tried to attach the dmg, but failed with the same problem: no mountable file systems. <sigh>
Back to restarting..

Yeah, 'hdituil' is a typo.
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. :-(
