See if you can get the 'hdiutil' utility to 'mount' or rather 'open' the image file. It would be best to work from an uncompressed image file. I'm not familiar enough with 'hdiutil' to provide instructions or examples. You would probably need to use 'hdiutil' to create an access point from which to work. I know it is possible for Linux to repair the file system on raw image files, but I don't know if Disk Utility can do the same or not. Sometimes using a utility from another OS makes all the difference in the world.

You may be able to install 'dmg2img' on macOS using HomeBrew. I don't use Windows so I'm not sure if there is any third party utility to do the same using Windows.

Dmg file? archive#

You may be able to do this the Terminal command line utility 'hdiutil', but an even better way would be to use the Linux 'dmg2img' utility to uncompress the archive into a plain raw image file. dmg file to a straight uncompressed raw image file.

Make a copy and work from the copy instead. Were the dmgs to be corrupt, damaged or otherwise broken, is there a way one can tell what happened and resolve it? The idea of splitting the dmg into segments, could this make parts of it openable? Make a copy and try?ĭon't try anything on the original. Most likely your original USB stick is to blame for the corruption of the. Now if the drive on the other computer has issues, then that is another thing. No, storing a file on another OS won't damage it.

This I guess raises a couple questions Could storing these dmgs on a windows based PC make for corrupt dmgs? They were merely moved and stored using the MacDrive application. I've run data integrity checks on various USB sticks and almost all of them invariably flip a bit once in a while.įYI, when creating an archive always make sure you can open it after it has been created. Many of them even from a reputable vendor are just junk. USB sticks are not good choices for storing data. This dmg mounted and opened just like expected once I came back into macos and inserted the usb drive it was created on.įrom original post: saved onto a 32gb stick Takes ages and finishes off by 'freezing' with an empty bar until suddenly it marks it with a green check mark. The whole process looked exactly the same like it did the first time. I took my macbook, now formatted on apfs since the reinstall, and entered recovery mode, made an image of a folder and selected the photos library. So today I've done some proof of concept on the issue, just to check that my method of creating a dmg of this pictures library actually works. It also could be a bug in Catalina, period.

dmg on another mac that is formatted as HFS+ (ie previous to apfs.) there may be no issue. dmg where created using the extended journal (HFS+) format, then it may not be possible to open them on a apfs. MacOS High Sierra (10.13) you had an option to bow out of converting to apfs, macOS Mojave made this more difficult, and macOS Catalina demands apfs. You reinstalled Mojave, did you change to the newer APFS ? Your macOS issues- you were running Mojave(?) formatted as HFS(?) or was it formatted as APFS(?) I am trying to think through the issue here. Please post some reference to the that you mention. macOS claims that they 'could not be recognized' dmg that I created in disk utility didn't want to mount. Before doing that I saved my whole pictures folder - or rather the program that is called 'Pictures' - the app Only way out was to internet-recover a fresh install of the OS.

Is there any way I can extract these pictures or what might be left of them? Any way to force it open? Split it up and avoid any bad parts of the image? Fix the image? What can be done? Terminal will not either recognize the image using hdiutil. The file size is the anticipated 27,46gb. The image is mounting with the correct program, diskimagemounter.

Since this isn't a download from the internet, but rather an image created directly from the machine none of the other cases I've read about applies. macOS claims that they 'could not be recognized' which I've since learned is a common error on. Once the Macbook was up and running again on a fresh install those. One of which I know completed and gave a green checkmark. All of it totaled some 25-30 gigabytes of data, saved onto a 32gb stick and put onto my windows desktop for keeping.
