Current versions of the Mac freesurfer binaries are not compatible with the v5.3 release. Too much has changed since then. If you wanted to use the newest version on the code you will need to download the latest dev version of freesurfer from this page (see "Development Version"):
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall#Download
Hope this helps.

There was an obscure error having to do with the ascii header when unpacking skyra data on the mac, that might be it. Zeke, can you get Ismail a version of mri_convert appropriate for his OS?

Hi Doug,
I tried it on the cluster and it worked, which is weird because it was not working before Any idea what might be the problem on my system ? Thanks again.

I used the same version, but I used it on linux. Do you have a linux box with FS installed that you can try it on?

I used the same command line as you did. And when I check with mri_probedicom I can see the ASCII header.
Here is the version of FS I am using : freesurfer-i386-apple-darwin11.4.2-stable5-20130514
Do you think it might be related ?
Thanks again.

What is your exact command line?
The version of the file that you gave me definitely has an ascii header, and I don't get that warning when I convert. What version of FS are you using on what platform? To check whether that file has an ascii header, run
mri_probedicom --i MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.19.45306.2014091812330393354083931
There should be a line like below
### ASCCONV BEGIN

Hi Doug,
Thats weird because I cant convert it using only mri_convert, here is the error I get :
WARNING: file /Users/ismailkoubiyr/Documents/PFE/Tracula/dti/3T2/MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.19.45306.2014091812330393354083931 does not contain a Siemens ASCII header has this file been anonymized? ERROR: cannot unpack mosiacs without ASCII header
Any idea why ?
Best,
