Will for sure bookmark and be a frequent visitor! I just updated Tiger to 10.4.4. Since then I haven't been able to install any additional software because any .dmg file fails to mount - I get the error "Device Not configured." I have run Repair Disk Permissions, rebooted Rebooted w/ the Tiger Installation DVD and run Repair Disk Permissions Rebooted and run Repiar Disk Permissions again. I continue to get the same error. Anyone know what else to do? #1 Petro, Jan 13, 2006 ra3ndy uix_expand uix_collapse Custom User Title Joined: Aug 15, 2005 Messages: 653 Likes Received: 0 From this post in the forum: Delete the file called /System/Library/Extension.kextcache Delete the folder called /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/ Welcome to the macosx.com forums!

I am Naushad, a new member in this forum. I am facing some problem with mounting .dmg file. When I want to install an application using a .dmg file and I click the .dmg file then I get the message The following disk image failed to mount Reason: Device not configured I started using iBook with version Mac OS X https://macosx.com/threads/disk-image-failed-to-mount-device-not-configured.265270/ 10.3.2 and now I am using Mac OS X 10.4.2. If you need to know, I have 9GB available in my iBook. I googled this problem and unfortunately cannot find much help. Only found one in http://www.macosx.com/content/faq.php/q11518/Any-Downloaded-dmg-File-Not-Opening-mounting.html. However, in solution it refers to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107288, which gives solution for other version of Mac, not for Tiger. Hope someone will be able to help me in this regard. You can also email me @ "n a u s h a d z a m a n AT g m a i l . c o m" (exclude all the spaces and quotations and replace AT with @) Thanks in advance. Take care.

I would go ahead and give the suggested solution a try even though it does not specifically refer to OS X 10.4.x #2 perfessor101, Dec 23, 2005 naushadzaman uix_expand uix_collapse Registered Joined: Dec 23, 2005 Messages: 12 Likes Received: 0 I want to add few more things in my post. 1. If you want to know to answer my question, I use iBook G4 1.2 GHz. Upgraded to 10.4.3
