    Invalid Disk Image With System Image Utility (SL Server)

    Hello, I am working on configuring Netboot on Snow Leopard Server. Previously, I had made a disk image of SL from a hard drive on a Mac with the OS on it. This image works, and when I mount it System Image Utility gives me options to create a Netboot disk image. However, when I mount a disk...

    Are image bundles OK as disk image format on a non-apple NAS?

    On my Synology NAS I create some big disk images (with Apple file systems on them). The end result should be read-only, so I have tried sparse bundles with read-only permissions and read-only DMGs. Both work fine once created, but the creation of the DMGs fails quite often. So this makes...

    Not sure what or how..but my Time Machine sparse disk files seem to have the dates corrupted, or something similar. Is there a way to manually change these? Or am I stuck having to start my backups from scratch, and hope for the best?

    Cloning APFS SSD to disk image on HD?

    I have a 240GB boot drive on my CMP 5,1 running High Sierra which is about 90% filled and which I want to replace with a 500GB external SSD. Can I create an APFS disk image on a hard drive, clone the old boot drive to the disk image and then clone the disk image to the 500GB SSD?

    Verifying a Disk Image Is Successfully Ejected

    I recently upgraded from Lion to High Sierra and one thing that's bugging me is that Disk Utility is no longer logging (apparently as of El Capitan if I'm not mistaken). It is very important to me to get back the "Show Log" option. Can I? Otherwise, if that's not possible, I really need to...

    Bootcamp usb not enough, blank 32gb

    Hi all, quite irritated by the fact that I am trying to bootcamp my mac, I have bought a 32gb usb stick, and apparently it is not enough to create a install disk from by bootcamp manager? I was under the impression windows 10 only needed 8gb as an install disk. Any ideas?

    Our medical office has several Macs including a rarely used Windows VM via VMWare Fusion on one machine and a couple of chromebooks. We prefer to do most of our work on the Macs. We need to send large PDFs of medical records from our online EMR to other offices occasionally. If these are...

    I'm trying to create a 6GB Cd/dvd disk image on disk utility. However, when it is created, it always shows up as having 1.5GB of space. Anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it?

    Creating a mac clone for a computer lab?

    I run a computer lab for a high school. We have about 150 computers in need of a new clone. I recently upgraded to El Capitan and I have found endless literature on how to clone using previous platforms. But none for this new system. I have been working on this for over a month, I have...
