Following steps to update a .dmg file (mounting and Show Contents), I'm unable to write to the folders in the DMG file.
Doing a "Get Info" displays a locked padlock and all else greyed out in the Sharing & Permissions section. Clicking on the padlock and entering my password does unlock the padlock but the Sharing & Permissions is still greyed out. It does show I have Read & Write and "You have custom access" (greyed out) but am not able to copy files into the contents of the DMG.
Any hints? Thanks.
i'm not overly familiar with DMG images, but disc images designed for burning to optical media (like ISO, and i presume DMG) are usually not writable. instead, to modify a disc image you'd copy the contents to a folder on the hard drive, make your changes, and then generate a new disc image. – quack quixote – 2010-06-22T19:41:06.527
Doh! Of course, thanks your are correct. I was all sideways on that. – danfoxley – 2010-06-22T21:00:43.767
