I ran into an interesting macOS error while working with a customer a couple of weeks ago. I didn't find a lot of good search results addressing the issue, so I decided to write up a post about it myself.
The Following Disk Images Couldn't Be Opened Install Mac Os X.dmg Error
The error was as the screenshot above shows; trying to open a dmg (disk image), macOS showed the error 'no mountable file systems'. If you see the 'no mountable file systems error' while opening a dmg, here's what you should try:
Method 1: How to Burn DMG to USB on macOS or Mac OS X. If you have a Mac, then Disk Utility will help you create your bootable USB drive. Since this is a native application, no downloads are required. The built-in tool will be able to directly burn the DMG file to a disk or drive. You simply have to follow the process as described below. Burn dmg to usb mac disk utility format options.
- In most cases, the downloaded dmg file is actually corrupt or had an error downloading. If possible, try downloading the dmg again, turning off any download assistant plug-ins you may have. You can try downloading the file in a different browser as well. Or if you don't need to be logged in to the site to download the file and you want to be fancy, you can try
curl -O url
in Terminal to download the file. (There's an example of that in my screenshot below.) - Reboot your Mac if you haven't already tried that. Apparently there is an issue sometimes after opening too many dmg files, that is fixed with a reboot.
- Try mounting the DMG on the command line in Terminal. We will at least get some sort of useful error message to go on if it still fails:
- Open Terminal: In Spotlight, the search magnifying glass at the upper right corner of your screen, search for Terminal, and press enter to open the Terminal app.
- Type
hdiutil attach -verbose
into the terminal. Add a space at the end, but don't press enter yet. - Drag the dmg file from your Finder window onto the Terminal window and let go. This will fill in the location of the dmg file into your Terminal window.
- Press enter.
- macOS Sierra (10.12) and earlier is not able to mount the new Apple File System (APFS). So if you're on macOS Sierra (10.12) or earlier and you ran hdiutil and see references to
Apple_APFS
or error112
, the issue is likely legitimate incompatibility, and this disk image won't open on this Mac without an update to the operating system.Here's an example of the end ofhdiutil attach -verbose
output that shows an APFS error due to an older version of macOS: - Think about if you have any kind of security policies on this machine to prevent writing to external drives (thumb drives, optical drives, etc). I haven't seen this one in action, but I read about this being a possibility while researching the issue.
- Another suggestion added by a reader (thank you, Markus!) is that filesystem errors on your main Mac drive could be the cause of the disk image mounting errors. Here are instructions from Apple for scanning and repairing errors using Disk Utility. Note that in order to scan and repair errors on your main Macintosh HD drive, you'll need to reboot your Mac into recovery mode. You'll want to choose Disk Utility in the utilities listed in the recovery mode menu.
- A new discovery from a reader (thank you, Colby!) is that APFS DMGs won't mount if you're booted in macOS booted in Safe Mode. (Who knew!?!) If you're not sure if you're in safe mode, select the Apple menu > About This Mac > System Report button, then select the 'Software' heading from the left column. Irfanview for mac download dmg. To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, without holding Shift during startup. Or, if you previously set your Mac to always boot into safe mode using
nvram
, turn off safe mode and have your Mac boot normally on the terminal:Mtg how is dmg distributed when blocking two creatures. Combat damage is a special kind of damage that is dealt by creatures during combat. Description edit edit source. Unlike all other kinds of damage, combat damage is dealt only by creatures and only during the combat damage step of the Combat Phase.This type of damage does not use the stack and is equal to the power of the creature dealing the combat damage. Oct 24, 2010 What happens when you block with two creatures? Asked by zigkid3 9 years ago i know that if you can successfully block and kill with two creatures that one of your creatures dies and the other lives. But how exactly is the combat damage assigned and how exactly does the 2nd creature live if say it blocked alone it would die.- Open Terminal: In Spotlight, the search magnifying glass at the upper right corner of your screen, search for Terminal, and press enter to open the Terminal app.
- Type/paste
sudo nvram boot-args='
and press enter. - Restart your Mac.

Hi,
I'll try to keep this question simple:
I'm attempting to copy an image to an external hard drive using Disk Manager. No matter what I do - formatting the drive in various formats, restarting and trying again immediately after booting, closing all open applications - when I attempt to create the image using Restore, I get an error: 'Restore Failure: An error (16) occurred while copying. (Resource busy)'
I've tried this on a couple different drives. I cannot seem to lose this 'busy' status, I don't know what's causing it. If the drive is mounted, essentially, it seems to be 'busy'.
Would anybody have any idea what's going on here? Would an equivalent to a Windows safe boot help, possibly? I don't know what's using the drive and making it 'busy', it's driving me nuts.
I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!
