  3. OS X El Capitan suddenly can't open DMG files. Ask Question Asked 3 years, 3 months ago. And managed to open.dmg files by going into Disk UtilityFileOpen Disk Image. Once opened in Disk Utility, Double Click (Right Click) the icon and click show in Finder. Mid '11 Mac Mini won't shutdown cleanly. OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

I downloaded v.5.2.2 (Fresh) (Mac version) but am getting an error message when trying to open the DMG file.

Question: Q.dmg files won't open. My computer is starting to have some problems. I think it is associated to a large amount of scanning I've been doing (transferring slides). It starting to go off into never never land while it's spinning wheel of multi-color death goes on and on and on requiring me to force quit applications and re-boot. Jan 30, 2016  Page 1 of 14 - Nexus Mod Manager won't open. posted in Open Beta Feedback: Ive tried to open it a few times, but it loads for a few seconds and just stops, and nothing happens. Ive already downloaded it again, but the same result occured.

I seem to meet the system requirements (running OS X 10.9.5 / Mavericks w- plenty of memory), so is there any recommended troubleshooting for this, other than deleting the current DMG file and trying again?

Error message displayed when I dbl-click the DMG icon/filename:

Thanks.

What error ? Try to check the hash of the file, preferably the SHA256 one, never trust MD5 if you can help it.

Either failed compilation or failed download with such error.

I'm sorry but I lack the technical knowledge to understand the two comments above.

Re: 'What error?' -- the error was the one shown in the grey box above ('The following disk images… etc.')

1) Download http://download.documentfoundation.or.. to same folder as the DMG.;; 2) Open the terminal/console and enter the folder. You can do it easily by writing §cd § and drag-dropping the folder to the terminal and hit Enter.;; 3) Write §shasum -a 256 -c LibreOffice_5.2.2_MacOS_x86-64.dmg.sha256§ and hit Enter.

CONTINUED: If it says it's a match, that file wasn't correctly made and I think a bug report needs to be made. If it's a mismatch, try re-downloading.

Thanks. By 'Download' (first paragraph above) I'm not sure what you mean. Clicking on that link just displays a text string. Do you mean save the string as a text file? Or were you referring to downloading LibreOffice 5.2.2 (which I've already done, though in a zipfile I can't unzip)?

Also, in your last paragraph ('CONTINUED: etc.') did you mean to write 'If it doesn't say it's a match… etc.'? Or is a 'match' what I don't want (because it means the file is bad)?

@rautamiekka I don't know what happened to the other comments that were here (only those from the date of the original post are displaying), but this seems to have been a hardware problem -- i.e. with my modem/router. No errors were reported during the download of the .dmg but, as reported here, it failed both attempts. Thanks for your attempts to assist me with this.

I figured as much, although I weren't exactly sure if your modem was the exact culprit.

Modem was the culprit. Thanks again. Do you know what happened to all the other comments -- yours and mine (the ones that followed the first exchanges on Oct 18)?

Does LO delete comments? Get rid of mac cleaner.

My guess is as good as yours. It's entirely possible the Admins/Mods deleted comments which held no useful value. An asking site like this is pretty bad for long[ish] conversations and attempts to figure it out.

Encrypted Dmg File Wont Open

File type: Mac OS X Disk Image

Open DMG File

The usage of the DMG file extension is in the context of a mountable disk image file which is generated by the Mac OS X Operating System platform. Once the file is opened, the system will mount it in a virtual disk located on the user's desktop.

This type of file is normally utilized for the distribution of software installation packages for the Macintosh computer system.

Prior to the introduction of this file format, the Mac environment utilized the IMG up until the introduction of the Mac OS 9. The Apple Disk Utility is the main application associated by users to this particular file type under the Macintosh platform and is bundled with the Mac OS X installation package.

Although not meant to be directly opened under the Microsoft Windows Operating System platform, the DMG format file can be accessed by Windows users by using some third party applications in the market. Basically, the DMG file extension can be compared to the EXE or ISO format of Windows and can even function as a complete virtual drive for the system.

The mimicking of physical CD drives is a workaround implemented by the system to address problems that may arise from CD requirements of some software programs including support for the efficient usage of an organization's resources.

Detailed information

File format: Proprietary
Open with Windows: Acute Systems TransMac, DMG2IMG or DMG2ISO
The DMG format file is also used by video games distributed for the Macintosh computer environment which are commonly protection enabled.
This format makes sure that all software installation and execution in the system are carried out correctly by providing support for both physical and virtual drives required by the system.

Running an application from a virtual drive may also allow a user to execute a program without actually copying an instance of it in the physical storage drive of the computer system.
This will save storage space and proves to be advantageous especially for programs which are not used very often. Aside from the Apple tool bundled with the Operating System, other more commonly used utilities that serve as an alternative include MagicISO, IsoBuster, and UltraISO.
These programs are more popularly executed under the Windows environment but are capable of reading DMG file formats and compressing them into another file extension that is more popularly used.

Another example of this conversion program is the DMG2ISO.
