littlepr Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I am trying to install apps with .dmg extension and I get this message: "unable to attach "bit toorent"-Device not configured" This happens on any .dmg. Can someone tell me if there is a way to get this fixed?

Eskurza Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 did you repair permissions from your 10.4.3 system? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10169-1045-success-but-now-i-cant-mount-any-dmg/#findComment-63551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepr Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 10.4.3? I'm talking about 10.4.5. 10.4.3 mounts .dmg fine. And so does 10.4.4.

Eskurza Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 well you install 10.4.4 from 10.4.3 right? and 10.4.5 on top of that.. so you end up with 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 right again? open your 10.4.3 and repair permissions of your 10.4.5 volume.. if you formated the 10.4.3 volume, try the 10.4.3 bootable dvd and use the diskutil there..

littlepr Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 That was a no go guys. I think I will have to start from scratch one more time. Hey Max, if you see this and know how to fix it, leave me a PM explaining how to fix it.

beboy Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Did you guys used the 10.4.4 patched DVD (bootable) to install MacOS X ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10169-1045-success-but-now-i-cant-mount-any-dmg/#findComment-68481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tina_chicago Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 This just happened to me with 10.4.10. The answer was to manually download the 10.4.10 updater and run it again. Something failed when using software update. The downloaders are on Apple's support page. After running the updater again from the manually downloaded package, my disk image problem was fixed as well as a problem I was having connecting to USB devices. Of course to run the manually downloaded updater, I had to expand that disk image on a different Mac and then bring it back over to this one. Flash jump drives are great!
