Sep 11, 2011 Disk Image can't be open Because it is not recognized? Thread starter DomoGoesNOM; Start date Sep 10, 2011. That message usually means that the image file that you have downloaded cannot be opened, often because the image download is corrupted. Download the file again. DomoGoesNOM Registered. Jul 31, 2019 Describe the bug After downloading and attempting to open the computer says the image is not recognized. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior. Select the.dmg file that you downloaded. It is usually in your Downloads folder and is named something like: rhino6.20.2.dmg (the version number will vary) If your downloaded file is not valid, go to download and request another download link. Jul 28, 2018 I’ve been using Mojave exclusively since the Public Beta has released Although I haven’t done anything intensive on Mojave like video editing from my experience I haven’t experienced any big issues with Mojave only little things you’d expect to have in Beta. Jan 25, 2011 However, I originally thought I password-encrypted it but realized I hadn't, so before I copied the image.dmg over, I went to convert it to an encrypted file. Now the issue. I had a lot of programs up, and did 'command-Q' by accident, not realizing it was in Disk Utility. So the program quit while it was still halfway thru the conversion.
Hey all, I have a problem with a disk image I made a while back. For reference, I'm running a MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard
I had a Disk Image I created in Disk Utility about a month ago, and had a bunch of files on there, it was a 35GB sized file. My HD was filling up so I've decided to take all the stuff that I don't need on a daily basis (i.e. Large Movie Files, this Disk Image) and copy it onto my 1TB external drive to free up some space on my computer.
However, I originally thought I password-encrypted it but realized I hadn't, so before I copied the image .dmg over, I went to convert it to an encrypted file. Now the issue. I had a lot of programs up, and did 'command-Q' by accident, not realizing it was in Disk Utility. So the program quit while it was still halfway thru the conversion. I tried opening up the .dmg but it said 'error -43' can't recognize the file. Did I just lose everything on that disk image? I tried 'Repair' on Disk Utility, but that's it. I don't know much about disk images, can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Nick
