[Resolved] 1.7.3 - Can't mount the .dmg & auto-update fails

Post by gcoghill »

I've tried the auto-update and downloading the .dmg from both MacUpdate and the official site. Auto-update fails. Cannot get the .dmg to mount on two different Macs (both running 10.5.7). Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this issue?

Interesting. I have needed to reboot to mount dmg's in the past, guess that's the next step. Thanks.

OK, found the issue in case anyone else is seeing this problem: http://web.mac.com/revs/Random_entries/ ... loads.html#

Seems it has to do with the "SPI Firewall" in my Netgear router. Bizarrely, it seems to have only affected this particular DMG. I turned the SPI Firewall back on (as they warned against turning it off) and a DMG downloaded after doing so mounted just fine.
