Something about not being able to run the file or something like that. Do I need a certain application to run/unzip/open these .dmg files?

luca said:I found disk copy and it put another icon on the desktop. I was able to double click and open that up. there were about 20 files there. One was a Gzip archive file . I tried opening that, but it said there wasn't an application to open this file. The original file is the 10.1.5 update OS from Apple. I would think it should be pretty easy to update, but I guess I'm wrong. I'm used to running an .exe file and following the installation instructions on a pc. This seems more complicated than it should be.
