Afraydo Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I can't seem to mount any DMG files since I have upgraded to 10.4.8, I used to be able to mount them just fine but I can't anymore! I get a device is not configured message. I've tried to repair permissions but nothing helps. I also tried some things I found on google but that isn't helping either. The only thing that might be related to this is the fact that my About Mac doesn't work, is that the problem? I'm running Jas 10.4.8 SSE2 8.8.1.

frenchie Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Have you tried updating the kernel? That might. Also did you do the software update? I recently just did the software update and I am having problems mounting DMGs as well. They mount, but some DMGs won't open. Concurrently I also can't open certain problems such as Firefox, Itunes, and Quicktime. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have not ran any software updates, my comptuer is working fine despite the DMG problem so I don't won't to try anything risky and screw it up all over again.

amdhac Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have the same problem. Some dmgs will mount others won't. Haven't had this problem with any other version or with any of the beta kernels. EVERYTHING else works fine. Anyone else having this issue? Native install of patched JaS DVD AMD, INTEL SSE2, SSE3 1048.

amdhac Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Installed Semthex's beta8 kernel...no joy. Going to replace the 'DiskImageMounter' thingy that resides in Core Services with one from Jas 1047. ANY suggestions or warnings would be very welcome...before I bork this install.

Delfire Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Same boat with the rest of you guys. Obtained the 10.4.8 Jas SSE2-Intel Only Update, then Dmg won't mount (Pacifist also refuse to open the dmg), system restart option no longer possible now (even when I originally fixed the restart problem). System Profiler freezes when examining ATA. Unlike some of you, I can't even open Disk Utility. It's also a pain in the butt that I can't even empty the trash, hahaha. I don't have any solutions right now but I'm going to see if I can repair the installation with the original 10.4.7 Jas release (kinda like amdhac mentioned, but a bit different) - amdhac's solution will PROBABLY only solve the mounting. But I think the sole problem resides in USER PERMISSIONS because all of our problems are directly linked to it (Could it be that the update confused our system as to who is root?). Going to try to log in as root or something, or try anything besides Disk Utility to repair permissions (since it crashes on me). So until then, if you are reading this, unless you want to help us solve our problems, please don't update to 10.4.8 from 10.4.7 from this particular update yet. Will post solution in this thread again if I come up with something good (or practical).

Delfire Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hey Afraydo, in answering your first post, the "About Mac" can be fixed: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...863&hl=1048 which leads to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...nel's+Patch But I don't know if and how this will solve our .dmg problem though. Don't know if it's related. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37986-dmg-wont-mount-after-upgrade-to-1048/#findComment-273374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
