Hello, I have recently had to restore my macbook pro to factory settings which is 10.6.8(I know it's old but I am waiting for maverick). So I had to reinstall eve online with all my other games. However every time I try to install it, the dmg file is not recognized. I have tried many different fixes such as the diskimagemounter and fixing permissions and it still has not been working. Anyone have a similar issue or fix? Thanks in advance.

Have been having the exact same issues. Have tried using Terminal to download as well as skipping verification (and I think some other stuff although I can't exactly remember). Basically I'm waiting for some kind of official announcement (assuming there hasn't been one I've missed, which is entirely possible)

So, did you download the EVE.dmg file to your download folder and it is completely finished downloading?

Open Diskutility - Drag & Drop the dmg file on it.


You can try to mount the .dmg through the terminal with the command


hdiutil attach ~/downloads/yourEVEimage.dmg

diskutil list and find the device which is named like your eve dmg and look for the IDENTIFIER.

diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk1s1 1s1 is an example, you have to find the number through the IDENTIFIER.


Or you can download FastDMG. It 'll load your image without verifying it. Maybe that'll help.

Another option is to write the dmg to a raw image with dd command, but i won't advice using it if you don't know anything about it.

I hope that helps.
