You cannot unmount the disk you're working on, obviously. Try to boot from a different media type other then your HD (USB-drive, DVD.) and then try again. (Mountain) Lion allows you to create a bootable USB-drive or DVD. If you do so, you'll be able to unmount (and format) your internal Macintosh HD. Apr 30, 2017 How to mount and unmount drives in macOS and OS X from the command line. April 30, 2017. Unmounting external drives on a Mac is usually done quick and simple by either dragging drive icon to the trash, or by using the eject symbol in a Finder window. Oct 06, 2016 Have you ever tried to format a disk in Mac OS X and Disk Utility won't Unmount the Hard Drive for formatting? It can happen for external (USB and Firewire) as well as internal disks.

Information: -My setup = (MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 + Enzo + PSVita-1000+ VitaShell 1.62) -VitaShell mounts fine with the MacOS. -When ejected from the MacOS, VitaShell and molecularShell exhibit 'The File is corrupt' error every time you run them, and requires a PSVita restart to be fixed so that it can run again. -When ejecting by pressing 'O' on the PSVita, then VitaShell ejects/unmounts fine and it works. The MacOS however doesn't like this and exhibits a 'Not ejected properly' notification The Issue: -The VitaShell after this type of unmounting (pressing 'O' on PSVita) cannot be remounted to the MacOS unless you manually delete the folders created by MacOS on ux0: a) .fseventsd/ b) .Spotlight-V100/ Suggestion: -AutoDelete script of these 2 folders when pressing 'O' to unmount the USB connection since this seems to fix the problem |

I get this on Windows 10 as well, when using 'Eject' on the drive from Windows Explorer. This does not happen every time and i am not sure what exactly causes it. |

Great, Great, Great.
I am creating a lot of disk images at the moment for the distribution of a product and obviously I have to test those images. After mounting about 10 the Finder stops doing it's work as described in the hint. This problem exists even in 10.3.5 and I am very happy now, cause rebooting, the only solution I had figured out so far, really interrupts my work big time.
Thanks for the tip.

I have an image that is password protected, and it still doesn't mount with this hint. Here's the output from terminal. Since the GUI password box came up on the display, I suspect that whatever OSX bug the command line evades is non-evaded when the PW function is called. Another encrypted image that mounts ok in the standard way (double-click) mounts fine using hdiutil. Haven't tried rebooting to see if that lets me mount the first image.
AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images
It just so happens that we already built an AppleScript solution using this method; I'll paste it below for those who are Terminally challenged. As for the issue with password protected disks, this script will indeed trigger a GUI window asking for any such passwords not already stored in Keychain. I have yet to find an instance where presentation of the password box triggered the failure we're looking to overcome in this hing, but the -stdinpass switch would likely resolve it (see the man page), and could be added to this script. Sorry about the code wraps, Rob, I tried to install AS returns, but they wouldn't deal with the line wraps any better because of the parentheticals.

[Rob, you can delete the post above (when are we going to get edit privileges?) if you want; I modified the script to fit nicely--F]

AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images
Man, it is amazing how fast folks around here report bugs. Sorry for the oversights; the script was originally written for single DMGs, and I added multiples without really testing it or thinking it through; also we rarely use a special character in a file path because we're so used to working on the web. All bugs should be resolved, except those idiosyncracies that exist with name problems in hdiutil (such as 'image already specified' errors).

Now, if you could add an 'on open' handler that handled drag-and-drop, you'd be all set! Just drag your dmg files onto the script and they would mount. No file dialog to get in the way. :-)
AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images
Hi there..
Well, I tried both versions of your script on several disk images (including one that I KNOW mounts fine by itself), and most of them were grayed out in my file dialog. My first thought was that perhaps they were corrupted, but at least one of them mounts fine on its own, and it was not accessible either.
I very much appreciate your scripting skills, but do you have any idea why I might be having such problems? Any suggestions from anyone else out there? I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks in advance,
mlaurenc

AppleScript to Force-mount unmountable disk images
I may just be a big newbie, (and I undoubtably am), but when running this script the only items I could select when it asked me which DMG I wanted to mount were file folders and no DMG files. Even with a foler selected, 'Choose' never highlit. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there an applescript super newbie thread I should be hitting up before getting to knee deep in this?
by the way, rebooting still didn't allow me to mount the DMGs. I'm running 10.3.7.
Thanks for any/all help guys!

While this is a nice workaround - I really wish the problem would be solved instead. Very annoying. On my machine - happens everyday after about my tenth disk mount. The image actually appears to get mounted and appears in /Volumes but it shows up no where else and is impossible to access.
I must say, it doesn't happen much with me. But if it shows up in /Volumes, you should be able to refresh the finder by doing 'disktool -r'. I am writing a script that triggers mounting of dmg and the 'disktool -r' seems to solve some of my problem.
Good luck

I tried this Hint for the first time today, but I didn't appear to have the relevant utility. Typing in hd and tab brought up
hdiutil
which is not the command quoted in the actual command string in the Hint.
Anyway, I tried hdiutil, and it tried to attach the dmg, but failed with the same problem: no mountable file systems. <sigh>
Back to restarting..
from Clytie, still having trouble

Yeah, 'hdituil' is a typo.
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. :-(
