I have a sparsebundle file that I cannot restore from my Time Machine Capsule. However, I get the response (from Terminal) that there is no file of the name given. I suspect that I have put it in incorrectly and wonder if you could advise me as to what the correct address would be for your line. Dec 28, 2019  How to Make a DMG File on a Mac. One way to store or group files on a Mac is to create a Disk Image. A Disk Image is a file which has the properties of a separate hard drive or CD and allows for greater password protection and compression.


  • Question: I have a corrupt.sparsebundle-file (a TimeMachine-backup file), that I would really like to fix, because there's some files in there that I need. I have tried using the Disk Utility app, but that didn't work. I also read that it should be possible to use the Terminal app to do this, but I've.
  • You can create an empty disk image, add data to it, then use it to create disks, CDs, or DVDs. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose File New Image Blank Image. Enter a filename for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose where to save it.
  • In Mac OS X and other UNIX-based operating systems, your vulnerable data are safe by creating DMG file. DMG (Disk Mounted Graphics) files are those files which are created by the disk utility of Mac’s OS with extension ‘.dmg’. These files are actually like an image of the complete contents of hard drive.

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!

I have an image that is password protected, and it still doesn't mount with this hint. Here's the output from terminal. Since the GUI password box came up on the display, I suspect that whatever OSX bug the command line evades is non-evaded when the PW function is called. Another encrypted image that mounts ok in the standard way (double-click) mounts fine using hdiutil. Haven't tried rebooting to see if that lets me mount the first image.

AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images
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. Sorry about the code wraps, Rob, I tried to install AS returns, but they wouldn't deal with the line wraps any better because of the parentheticals.

[Rob, you can delete the post above (when are we going to get edit privileges?) if you want; I modified the script to fit nicely--F]

Man, it is amazing how fast folks around here report bugs. Sorry for the oversights; the script was originally written for single DMGs, and I added multiples without really testing it or thinking it through; also we rarely use a special character in a file path because we're so used to working on the web. All bugs should be resolved, except those idiosyncracies that exist with name problems in hdiutil (such as 'image already specified' errors).

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. No file dialog to get in the way. :-)

AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images

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.

Thanks in advance,

AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images

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. :-(

I'm trying to do a complete backup of my wife's MB from my MBP. I booted the MB into Firewire Target Disk Mode, then used Disk Utility on my MBP to make a DMG of it onto another external FW drive. Here's the log from Disk Util:

I tried mounting it from Finder by double-clicking the DMG and got the same error. So I deleted the DMG and re-created it from scratch (including rebooting the MB into TDM):

WTF? Does anyone know what might be going on? I came > < this close to repartitioning her HDD, then I got the willies and decided to verify the image first. Good thing I'm paranoid, otherwise my wife would have had a factory-fresh MB right about now. -- View image here: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/forum/smilies/scared_classic.gif --
