I own a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I would like to dual-boot my Mac OS with Ubuntu. When I download the file and try to open it, it reads 'No mountable file systems'. I have downloaded both. Note: Attempting to fix Sparsebundle No Mountable File Systems manually requires technical skills which newbie lacks. Even slight mistake might bring risk to data. So, it is recommended to take the help of Mac Data Recovery tool to rescue data in case of Sparsebundle No Mountable File Systems issue.

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.

Rehab is for quitters!
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.
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.. :-)
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,

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...

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